" Daily Kerietr mmty 98 cent* per
mtmnth. Try it.
Wo extract the following' from an arti
cle in the New York Evening Post, on the
Hanisburg convention. The remarks on
the currency are pertinent and sound :
"The first practical lesson for the op
ponents of the machine, then, is that it is
dangerous to underrate its power. It is
folly to expect that it will disclose a sud
den weakness, that its leaders will with
draw in a panic, and that it will go to
pieces before the Chicago convention
meets. The next lesson is that if the
machine is to be resisted at all it must he
fought with its own weapons. At least
this is what the procedings at Harris
burg show. No voice of an independent
Republican was heard in Wednesday's
convention. The opposition was repre
sented solely by politicians, by a faction
which, while it resisted the Cameron ma
chine, woidd set up a machine of its own
if it had the power to do so. This is
plain whether we consider partisan meth
ods or personal preferences. Only two
names were mentioned in the convention.
Sherman, Wushburno, Garfield and Conk
ling were not heard of and evidently were
not thought of. Inferentially the plat
form contemptuously dismisses the claims
of the Secretary of the Treasury. It will
be admitted that if any real and substan
tial question enters into the canvas, a
question which rises to the level of
statesmanship, it is the financial ques
tion. But the platform brushes this uside.
The Pennsylvania Republicans, who per
sistently disc turnged the movement for
specie payments, now profess their satis
faction with the imperfect and perhaps
impermanent resumption which has been
effected. They resolve that the currency
is 'in a thoroughly healthy condition,'
and that there is 'no good reason why
that system should lie disturbed.' This
certainly is not the best opinion of tin
Republican party. With the legal tender
note still in existence, nominally redeem
ed hut actually unpaid and threatening a
drain of Treasury gold, and with cheap
silver dollars steadily accumulating, it i
uot believed that the currency is 'in a
thoroughly healthy condition.' The
plain Republican duty is to go on and
finish the work of restoration by getting
the greenbacks out of the way as lawful
money, pursuant to the recomendation of
President Hayes and the proposal of Sec
retary Sherman. In discouraging such si
movement Wednesday's convention de
clares that the financial question shall not
enter into the canvass, and, so far as
Pennsylvania is concerned, it sets Mr.
Sherman aside, because his name is iden
tified with that question more than the
name of any other candidate and upon it
his claims to the nomination rest.
The Rev. William N. Parry, an eccen
tric clergyman, who died at Worcester,
Mass., a little while ago, left an extraoin
ordinary will. In it he says :
"I die, whensoever and wheresoever
that event may come, in the simple faith
that Jesus of Nazareth is my God. I be
queath to uiy Christian friends who have
stood by me in the work of the Lord
'through evil report and good report,' my
unspeakable and everlasting love. To
my enemies I bequeath my forgivness."
He provides for the payment of debts,
and directs that the rest of his estate be
applied to continuing services in the Tab
ernacle Congrcgarional Church at Wor
cester. All his sermons, mantiscaipts,
letters and papers are to be thoroughly
burned unread. He forbids any announce
ment of his death in any newspape, and
requests the newspapers to take no notice
of his death. He directs that after death
his body shall be placed in a box of un
planed boards, dressed in his poorest,
clothing, stockings, drawers and shirt,
and no other garment, and fhall be imme
diately nailed up, that no one be allowed
to look upon him at his funeral; that
there be no flowers, no minister, no public
notic of the funeral, and no other religious
service than the reading by some member
of his church of Psalms xxiii. and xe, and
the singing of his favorite hymn, "Lead,
kindly light," and that no strangers beal
lowed to attend the funeral. lie then pro
vides "that after the above exercises I be
taken in an express wagon, or any cheap
conveyance, to be interred in any lot or
place or parcel of ground that any member
of my church will, for the love of God,
give me. lam not ashamed to ask this,
for my Lord and Savior .Jesus Christ had
to be under a similar obligation and to be
favored with a like disposition after His
death; that no headstone, floral wreath
or other sign be used to mark the place
of uiy burial, as my God and Lord needs
no such reminder of the place where my
dust reposes." lie then says that his wife
shall not attend his funeral, and gives his
directions for the settlement of a mort
