plause and round after round of hearty
laughter can be taken n evidence of the
fact. Mr.. Owens is admirably adapted to
the part of Perkm Middlescick, which he
played finely, representing to the life

tired English butterman.

THE NEW FORM OF REPUBLICAN,
HATE,
Brooklyn Edgle.l


The bridge of fraud which was run up
for the party leaders to pass into power
lin spite of the will Of the people) in
1876 IT. is regarded as unavailable for
the future. A new form of appeal to the
old feeling of hate has been agreed on,
1t is comprised in this concurrent agta>
ton about what are called the rebel
claims The few carpet0ag fellows who
hold over in Congress-and they are all
Republicans instructed to intro
duce bills with many millions Of dollars
of claims in them. Nobody ever de-
signed to pass any such bills into laws.
twas thought they were introduced only
to get up little cheap local popularity,
Then Northern Republicans, under in
strnctions, introduced large number of
bills asking for huge sums for improve
ment. A habit of introducing such bills
was established. So Representatives
generally introduced them, in each case
with the double purpose of getting rid Of
some claimant and burying his bill and
him in the cave of committees wisely
made hostile to reporting any of them.
Suddenly all these bills from the South
are placarded as rebel claims. That no.
body proposes to allow them; that they
are not worth the paper they are written
on; that most Of them we're put in by car.
pet baggersthat for every dollar in these
claims, three dollars are asked for in
equally ridiculous Northern claims we're
facts which were very carefully withheld.
Moreover, every application ofthe South
for Federal buildings and for harbor i'm
provements-that section asking SIS 900
900 for such purposes, and the North
asking $40, 900 900, and each expecting
to get one fifth of what it asks--was also
carried to the column of defamation, and
rated a rebel claim. The facts that the
House has cut down expenses $40, 900, =
900 a year and has killed all jobs, and
subsidies have been omitted or denied
The North has been told that the South
is a unit for every dollar of these bills,
not one of which has ever been reported
and nearly all ofwhlch are killed by the
amendments to the Constitution, and her
applications for the Federal buildings
and harbor improvements,w which Brooks
lyn, too, is asking for, are stigmatized as
rebel, when the South full rights in the
Union are not aSsaiIable.
