Doxters and Childs Of Philadelphia are
heard from, and the rich men Of Boston
come in, the remaining ono hundred
thousand will be secured. And then
in 1894, General Grant, the subsidized

WILL THE REPUBLICANS
MAKE WAR ON THE
!SOUTHS

The Hon, George 5. Boutwell,, Of
Massachusetts,, is censured by the more
cautions Republicans for "letting the
eat out OF the bag" 10 the last issue of
the North American Repielc, wherein
he announces that Garfield will pursue
vindictive policy toward the South.
The Chronicle Herald, whom reviewing
tho Reriec article, says
Under tho delusive title of "The
Future ofthe Republican Patty" Bout.
we'll maps out murderons plan OF az
gression against the South, "lt may
we'll be said" he declares, "that the
time is past for concessions, compro.

ty." IL is not the Autocrat of all the
Russias who ls delivering himself in
this strain, but the attorney OF fac.
tion which has secured control Of 0
victorious party. That there may be
no doubt OF what he means, Boutwell,
says "The canvass had been conduc
ted upon the ground occupied by the
earnest men OF the party, and the sue
cess of the party is due in the largest
degree to the presence and active la
bors OF General Grant, Senator Conk
ling and their friends and supporters !
and he adds with brutal, arrogant sig
nificance, "Ourpolicy toward the Soutl
in its present political attitude must b'
determined, bold, aggressive. The
South respects power and il re
spects those who possess power anc
exhibit courage" The programme re
quires no Interpretation. ltspeaks fol
itself. 1t is prlekly with bayOnets.
At tho expense Of painting the lily
Boutwell, commits his party as far ~

The editor of the Selinsgrove Times
treats the subject in this way
"ln one respect at least II looks as
If our State government was organized

employment to the people--some of
them anyhow For instance 1t en-.

provides Tor Court Houses, jurors, wit.
nesses, Prosecuting Attorneys, Judges,
etc, to try and convict these criminals,
all of which is done at great expense.
And so particular is the Government
in this matter that criminal must be
tried in the county where the crime
was committed, and by jury OF the
vicinage. Why2 Because the people
Of the county where a crime is com
mitted must naturally know mort
about it than strangers. Then, after
the criminals have been judcially con
victed, penitentiaries have been pro
vided and are kept up at enormous
expense, to con6ne these criminals a
a supposed punishment. This agail
furnishes employment to many men
After tho criminals have been shut VI
a short time, they, or their friends 70

This again furnishes employment to
large number OF lawyers. Then
finally, we come to the Board of Par
dons, set of double or treble salarie,
gentlemen, strangers, who review th
actions Of the Courts below, and 70

MORAL lDEAs.--Tbe CHRISTIAN States.
man has an article censuring Mr.. Hayes
Tor disregarding the Sabbath while on
his recent Western tour. 1t relates
facts, going to show that be made it a
grand show day, the people turning
out en- masSe TO celebrate bis appear
aDce among them. SO, it appears, that
Gen. Grant is not the only representa-.
tive of the great moral party Of the
nation that disregards the religious
observances of the first day ofthe week
We regret that Mrs. Hayes would SO
far forget her religious obligations al
to encourage such violation Of the
Sabbath. Had the criticism and facts
appeared in secular journal we would
have been loatho to believe them but
the Statesman is an ardent Republican
journal, and special champion Of Mr.
Hayes administration.

to be hoped that the money lords may
spend as much of their superauous
riches on General Grant as possible.

simply to familariSe the people with

produces another communicate out.

G.A.G.-During war times, while
Mr.. Grow was Speaker Of the House,
he was frequently charged with using

be sent to the United States Senate

to realize the truth of the maxim, "Put

no man can hope to bo the successor
of William A. Wallace unless be 10 ao-

wise men who profess TO know thous-
ands of things that are hidden outside

HYPooRITEs ALL.-During the cam
