that during the last year the country made
long step towards specie payment hy reducing
the balance against Us for foreign goods re-

ROssINI LUB.-There is great deal of in
terest excited in the concert to be given by
the Rossini Club at Reception Hall tomorrow
night for the reason that it is composed of ele-
ments that cannot fail to achieve success un-
der any circumstances. The members are all
ladies devoted to music, not mere dilettanti, but
desiro1s of becoming finished musicians. With
them music is an art, not an amusement, al
though the majority of them have no occasion
to make it a profession. Their first concert
given year ago in Stevens piano-forte rooms
astonished all, who were so fortunate as to re-
ceive an.invitation, from the artistic flush and
thoroughness with which each number on the
programme was performed, and it was, there
fore, with consciousness of the treat in store
for them that they hailed with delight the an
nouncement of their concert given fortnight
ago. Many of these young ladies belong to our
wealthiest and most highly educated families,
many are already known for their musical abil-
tiles in the Haydn Society, ,and all possess, what
is of the utmost Importance, the feeling that
Notwithstanding their talents there is still
something more that they can learn. We pre-
dict great musical treat for all who attend
the concert tomorrow night, and would say

Governor Geary to the Miners.

The following are the most interesting
points which Governor Geary made in his
speech TO the delegates of the Workingmen's
Union at Harrisburg ON Saturday night:
The laboring man of the country, when
seeking to better his condition, surely has
just cause, and, as the labor of his hands
is his capital, he is justified in making the
most strenuous exc rtions to get as much for
it as he can command. Nor will | saw he
is not prudent IN combining with others to
accomplish his object. The plain purposes
of all the privileges conferred by acts of in
corporation is to insure for that capital
powers that money itself does not possess.
Manufacturing, mining, transportation and
banking are now carried on most extern
siyelv under cooperative privileges granted
by the State. Why are those privileges so
coveted and so eagerly soughtg WHY are
nine bills out of every ten passed by the
Legislature acts of Incorporation or con-
ferring corporate powers Simply because
such powers protect -capital and facilitate
ITS accumulation.
Under this system of legislation there
have grown up multitude of State organ
lzatlons for business more potential in their
financial influence and moneyed power than
the commonwealth which gave them ex-
lstence. do not make this statement as a
reproach to the State which gave existence
10 these corporations, or as an attack on
sucn poues ior their manner of doing bust
ness. ! only show by facts what can be
achieved by combination. The capitalist
has discovered that Tin union there Isl
strength Why, then, blame labor for
having. learned to appreciate the same
truthsl AS understand ii, YOU have COM
to draw bills Of credit: nat 10 |
take deposits at low rates of interest and |
loan them again at exorbitant prices: NOT TO |
charge fve-fold prices for your labor. NOT |
to resist and stop the highways for the pub
ic convenience; not to speculate ON the ne /
,essities of tie poor; not TO starve men.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Tine President has named the Both Of
November as a day of thanksgiving.
In New York Gov. Hoffman is DEC
week earlier. Hence that State will
have the benefit of two thanksgiving
days. In Nevada no day has yet been
named. We presume GOV. Bradley
will at the proper time name the same
date as that selected by the PRESIDENT.
Since the precedent set by Mr.. Lincoln
has been followed many years by him
self and successors it has apparently
become a National instead of a State
holiday. If Presidents are to continue
exercising the prerogative OF fixing
the date for these anniversaries we
IAN see no use for the State authorities
to exercise the same duty. If they
name the same day as the President
they but re echo the latter's appoint
ment; and if they select any other
day it only makes ''confu>ion worse
~confounded" by increasing the thanks
without charging the benefits. As in
many of.the States this day is made a
holiday by statute, exerhpting many
officers from duty, closing the courts,
etc, an interesting legal question might
arise in case different days were named
by the Federal and State authorities.
Ii would seem from custom to be a
State institution with which the Wash
ington Government has really nothing
to do. If SO, the custom would be
better observed by emitting it alto
gether, allowing the States to attend to
their own affairs.

Northwestern States have gone Re

Parker Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor by from 3,e06 to 5000 majority.
The Republicans claim the Legisla-

Governor Over Adams, Democrat, by
about the same plurality as at the last
election, little interest being taken in
the result. The Democrats make a
gain in the Legislature. Maryland
goes Democratic byfrOm S;9o0to 10, 900

Several Republican sGenbers are
elected to the Legislature, none being

Democratic by about 10000 majority.
In New York City the Democracy
claim $4,000 majority. Most of the
Tammauy candidates for State Sena-
tors, including Tweed, were elected by
large majorities. O'Brien, Reform
candidate for State Senator vas chosen
in one of the city districts. In Chicago

tered the town to take up his
among us. A nan by the name OF

thing he saw aSt the gallOws: locking
Just across the road the mex thing that
met his eve was the race track; on en-
tering the town the first house he saw
was the Jail. Meeting a man in the
street.-the first he ~saw-carrylng a
bottle, he asked him if he knew OF any
Christians in town. by c." said
the man, '.I'll bet you a gallon of
whisky you can't find such an animal

work before him and went Zealously
at it, and he accomplished much.
When one hears the sabbath bells
calling the people to different houses
to worship the living God, n cannot
but see that some OF h seed sOwn by
the early missionary have produced
good fruit.
