The hard working, laboring men of the
country are compelled to pay an enormous
tax on nearly everything they consume,
while the bondholders take a heavy per
centage of every days wages they earn,
and don't pay n single picaYnne to bear
the burdens of the Toledo
True Nationalist.
Since the tariff is designed to tax the
luxuries rather than the necessaries OF life,
the Nationalist must intend, by the above
to convey the impression that the "hard.
working, laboring men OF the country" are
the chief consumers of luxuries. Does the
True Nationalist expect to benefit its cause
in the estimation of sensible people, by
giving utterance to such sentiments as the
above?

A great many of the Democratic papers
bitterly denounee the efforts of their friends
in Congress to reopen the Presidential con-
Test. They see in such struggle nothing
but business disaster and party failure. It
certainly is piece Of madness we'll calcu.
lated to alarm all Thoughtful persons, and
especially the honest portion of the Dem
ocratic party.

The appointment of Gen. ]. d. Cox to a
position on the Florida Investigating Com
mittee, will give general satisfaction to Re
publicans. The General has the ability aud
industry requisite to keep the corruption
lists on that committee in very hot water by
exposing them as they progress with their
campaign work. If we are not mistaken,
Speaker RANDALL will have cause to re-
gret the selection Of our member Of Con
gress as one Of that committee.

The eemmunistic tendency of the Ma

Since thene is no occasion for such party,

cies are against the best interests of society,
only the worst elements will adhere TO it.

MOVEMENT TO RAISE CORPS or
VETERAN SOLDIERS
To serve Under the Russian Flag In Case
Of War with England.

| NEW YoHK, May 1.-THE Grnphic's Phjia-
delphia special says: For some time past q
| few well informed persons have been aware
| that u movement was on foot In this city to
raise several regiments of veteran soldiers
who arc to fight under the Russian flag In
case of war with England. The plan Is ur,-
der the management Of several well known
| soldiers Of the late war whose offer tf aid II
is UNDERSTOOD has been definitely accepted by
Count ChsiInar Grippenberg, who Is now I'm
| command Of the Russian soldiers on board
the Oimbria, lying off the coast Of Maine.
In consequences OY this acceptance secret
circular has been Issued which has been care
fully drawn, so as to avoid any conflict with
the neutrality laws Of this country. The cir
cular calls for the formation of Russian
American pioneer association, and invites
| men OF all nationalities and conditions tn
assist In the movement In aid Of tho Chris
tians In Southern Europe. The members are
| To be formed in companies Of 100 men each,
and no enrolment or enlistment will take
place here In order To avoid conflict with the
neutrality laws Of the United States
| The circular is explicit regarding the con-
| dtions Of joining, which are substantially as
| follows: free enrolment will be made Of
each member 8 age, name and present occupa-
| tion. All who Join must be- healthy and
| strong, and none will be accepted who cannot
pass II medical examination. A pledge must
| be signed, expressing Willingness TO serve in
any occupation or position that may be

cially II they believe that EDglands 8 difficulty
Is Irelands opportunity.
The last clause seemed to denote that the
Fenans were interested in the movement
hnd o visit TO the committee headquarters on
South Pennsylvania Square, disclosed the
fact that Capt N. r. Harris, O. prominent Irish
Nationalist, is the leader Df the organization
in this city. Capt. Harris was not disposed
to be communicative on the subject, but ac-
knoWledged that the circular had been issued
from his headquarters. He answered in the
affirmative. when questioned in regard to
communicating with Count Grppenberg, but
declined to state the nature Of the CORE
spondcnce.
He styles himself chargc-de-brlgall Of the
Russian-A merican association, and stated that
the organization was strictly secret regarding
its plans and destination. When twenty com
panies Of 100 men each have been formed the
members will be advised Of the place Of gath
ering and embarkatiOn.
Capt Harris would not state whether the
men would be armed or not, but remarked
that they would be fully provided for, without
any expense to themselves, as soon as they
were enrolled. He positively declined to an
swer any further question regarding the mat
ter.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-THE statement
telegraphed from here few days ago, men
tioning the belief that Russian agents were
negotiating for the purchase Of the fine new
steamer the State Of California, appears to be
confirmed. The steamer is ready to be
launched from Cramps shipyard, and is be-
ing pushed so as To be sent off the ways to-
morrow. Yesterday an order was given sud-
denly to stop work on the ornamental outside
joiner work, to the great surprise Of the men.
Vessels on the smooth Pacific could carry
this ornamental work, but on the rough AZ
lantic it would not be suitable This altera-
tion In the plans OF construction, and other
circumstances, render it probable that the
State Of California, which is guaranteed to
make fourteen knots an hour, has changed
owners, and that, instead Of plying on the
California coast as one Of the fleet OF the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company's line. she
will be put to sea as Russian cruiser

the face Of some unfavorable mention In the

upon d speech eminently able as a terse

the same time clearly defining position
against the money aristocrats Of the North,
whose interest and policy it is to narrow the
money power within their own circle. In poll

tains his hold with hardy confidence. His
boldness and enterprise are tempered with
cool judgment, while there is dash and
grace about his acts which stamp the Inn

the Russian cruisers lowering near the Ameri-
can coast, upon the path of British steamers
plying to and from New York, would be able
to pounce almost any day In the year upon
some British merchantmen, which would be

waters, followed by her Russian pursuers,
there might be collision or capture within
our neutral jurisdiction.
