Republican Consistency.

HAssAN, Aug. 5, 1874.
To the Editor of the Anti Monopolist:
SIR Ever since the back pay steal
was committed most of the Republican
papers have preached against it, as a
great crime; yet not one Of them has
said word against the worst man in
the whole lot, the only man who could
have prevented the steal, and the man
who takes hundred thousand dollars
of the peoples money. quite as wrong
fully as any Congressman took his
five thousand. refer of course to the
President of the United States.
Dunnell comes back to Minnesota
and the Republican party renominates
him to the same Office. Averill finds
plenty of papers to advocate his re-elec.
ton.
Three years ago Washburn, Petit
land others did the best they could to
stake three or four million dollars of the
peoples money,by voting away 100000
acres Of the peoples lands, and were
only prevented from doing so by the
Governor veto; and yet after an al
most universal condemnation Of their
conduct, the party did all it could to
honor these very same men. Wash

was really nominated for Governor last
fall; while Petit was reelected to the
Legislature, and other men who took
part in that steal have been honored in
every way possible.
Now in the face of all these facts. is
there any man so blind. so much of a
political slave, that he will still support
that corrupt Republican party any

ACurious Contrast.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.l
1t is very singular that while the Con-
gress of the United States has been
passing law which imposes an addi-
tional tax of 81, 100000 on the newspa-
per circulation of the country, and for
no other reason than that certain prom
inent newspapers, in the presence of AL
all-pervading generalization, have had
the courage and the boldness to stand
up for the right, the legislature of the
largest and most important of the Aus
tralian colonies has adopted a
regulation allowing newspapers
to go without any charge at
all through the mails. We do not say
that such rule is right, We do; it
should be adopted in the United States.
The Intellectual activity Of the people
should be supported by the whole peo-
ple.-ED. ANrI-MoNoPoL1sT. but it is,
at least, laudable effort to remove all
obstacles to the dissemination of knowl-
edge. IT must be admitted that if it is
an error at all, it is an error in a very
good cause. The legislation of our
Congress, besides this act, takes on a
very curious complexion. There never
yet has been a war between the press
and the government, unless the latter
had been growing corrupt and despotic,
for the two tendencies usually 60 hand
in hand,

any one. The people forced the party

but 1T is all right-good-bye. He
called to two persons outside the fence,
bidding them farewell, and his last
words on earth were to ask the priest
to Pray for me, Father =.
.'Davila had nothing to say, but stood
quite still, with his eyes cast down and
communing with himself. He died
bravely.
OUT OF TINE INTO ETERNITY.
''The legs of the men were then tied,
the ropes adjusted, the white caps over
their faces, and all was ready. The
priest read the last service of the
Church. Tapia, while he was doing SO,
pushed the cloth from before his face
to catch one last look at the beautiful
world he was so soon to leave. All was
done that was necessary. and amid
profound stiffness the signal was given,
and the drop fell.
'SAs the prisoner descended, 4 series
OF terrific screams were heard in the
crowd, heart-rending and despairing.
Unknown to Tapia, his family was
there. and it was they who set up the
cries of grief. Many = strong man
shuddered at that moment, and indeed
it was scene that few who witnessed
it will ever forget. The necks Of both
men were instantly broken. Tapia did
not move after the drop fell, and Davila
gave but few faint quivers.

THE MARCH TO DEATH.


Sat ten minutes to 2 o'clock the
arms Of the two men were pinioned be-
bind them, their irons taken of, and
the procession to the scafold formed.
Tapia, with the Rev. Father Jaillet at
his side, went first, followed by Davila,
attended by one Of the jailors. Both
men we're dressed in black pants. and
white shirts, and slippers upon their
feet. Their walk was firm, with no
evidence of anything but the determi-
nation to die like brave men, up the
steps Of the Court House and along the
gallery until the platform Of the gal
lery was reached, when Tapia hesitated,
but finally took his place, each standing
beside the fatal moose. The death-war-
rant of each of the condemned was then
read by the Sheriff, after which they
were given an opportunity to speak.
FEW LAST WORDS.
'Tapia spoke As follows: MY friends
am here to-dsy to die By hanging. l

The alleged virtues of madstones
are discredited by scientific men. The
only efficacy they can have is that of
being imperfect cupping glasses, they
being generally porus coralits which
will adhere to = raw wound. Still, the
Lynchburg (Va.) Republican tells
story which is important, if true. A
Virginian whose name it gives, was
lately bitten by = moccasin snake, and
before he could get any means Of help
his bitten leg was very badly swollen
and his suffer,ngs were great, if not
threatening to be fatal. A maidstone
was applied to the wound, and seemed
to suck the poison from it; the leg
soon resumed its natural size, and the
uncomfortable symptoms disappeared.
It is curious that the belief in mad
stones exists in the East Indies % well
. IN this country, and many marvellous
tales are told Of their origin.

Studebaker's Wagon Factory Burn
ed.
South BEND, Ind, August 24.-At
4:30 o'clock this morning fire was dis.
covered in the paint rooms of the
mammoth wagon mandatory of the
Studebaker Bros, resulting in loss OF
100000. These works were erected
Immediately after the burning of their
small shops on June II, 1872, when
they lost about $4,000. The flames
spread rapidly, and owing to the great
size Of the buildings the fire department
was Unable to get the fire under imme-
date control, but finally turned atten-
ton to where the buildings connected
with the one erected four years ago, and
there stopped it. In this
latter building was the main
part Of the machinery, which was all
removed and saved from damage by
water even. The heat was so intense
that the Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern freight and passenger depots were
in danger. The trains were delayed in
passing for some four hours. There
was no air stirring and the flames shot
up straight in the air, so that the many
buildings in the immediate vicinity
were saved. Floating cinders fell
over mile away. The works con-
tanned upwards of 1000 finished wagons
and vast quantity of stock in process
of manufacture, ready for shipping and
cars from the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, Indiana Central, Pittsburgh, Fl.
Wayne & Chicago, Chicago, Rock ISL
and & Pacific, and indianapolis, Pitts
burgh & Chicago railways, were stand
ing at the shipping doors, in process of
loading, but were got out Of the way
only just in time to save them from
burning. The loss in detail
as near as can be Appropriated is as
follows: Building $4,000; stock in
process of manufacture. $4,000; fin
ishcd wagons 100000; machinery SIS
600; iron and fixtures, $15,OOOEtotal,
100000. This is thought to be rather
under the loss.

Mr.. JENNINGS AND UNIVERSAL
SUFFRAGE

Mr.. Louis ]. Jennings, formerly Of the
london and now of the New York Times,
lisbelieves in the stability of republican
government in the United States. We
nave no less authority for this statement
han his own assertion, made in print five
years ago. The quotations which we have
printed from his book sufficiently establish
This to be fact. While we are not inclined
20 be captious, and while we entertain the
most sincere regard for Mr.. Jennings, and
nope in his new vocation he will be able to
overcome his prejudice in favor of mo-
,archical systems of government we think
would be instructive 70 indulge in brief
etrospect- Not long ago Mr.. James An.
hony Froude published an essay on pro-
ress, melancholy in its tone and filled with
,rofound skepticism regarding the present
condition of sfairs in this country. As a
representative man of q class of essayists
Who, like Mr.. Jennings. are supposed to
nave made an especial study of our govern
mental system, Mr.. .Froude's deductions
IRE entitled 10 extraordinary attention. But,
like Mr.. Jennings his evident prejudice IN
ayor of the monarchical system destroys
he strength Of those deductions. His idea
IS that England has reached the highest

PROMOTIONS IN THE ORDNANCE
DEPARTMENT.

LEI AM N CIV L.
The President in his annual message says:
'"While inviting your general attention TO
all the recommendations made by the Sec-
rotary of War, there are two which I would
especially invite you to consider. First,
to the importance of preparing for war in
time of peace. by providing proper arma-
ment for our seacoast defences. Proper
armament is of vastly more importance than
Notifications. The latter can be supplied
very speedily for temporary purposes when
needed. The former cannot The second
is the necessity of reopening promotion in
the staff corps Of the army. Particularly
is this necessity felt in the medical, pay aud
ordnance departments. There arc now
sixteen vacancies in the ordnance depart
ment, thus leaving that branch of the SER
vice without sufficient officers 10 conduct
the business of the different arsenals ON
large scale, if ever required" The Secre-
tary of War in his report says: "The re-
port of the chief of ordnance calls attention
to the many potent arguments 90 often pre-
sented in favor of the repeal of the law pro-
hibiting promotions in the corps which he
He refers to the hardship and
humiliation to which officers of merit and
long service have been subjected since the
passage Of that law, by being deprived Of
their deserved promotion, the only reward
held out in their profession for years of
duty well performed. Their claims to pro-
motion appeal strongly to the attention Of
Congress" Every consideration Of justice
and propriety requires that the law should
be repealed. and the vacancies in the ord
nance department be filed BY promotions
