BITTER LANGUAGE Eiward G.

BITTER LANGUAGE Edward G..
Bradford, Jr., Esq, shows the old
eleven" of the fanatic in his bitter Ian
guage. Hidden until after the election,
it cropped out in his speech to the Young
Mems Republican Club, on Friday
night. He paid little Difference TO the
old people to whom the present genera
tlon is much indebted for their govern
ment when he charged the Democracy
of our State with ''semi- i-barbarism."
Does Mr.. Bradford not know that the
Democracy have merely preserved the
constitution and the laws as they found
they had been formed and existed under
John nj. Clayton, Richard IL. Bayard
and Willard Hall, in their day, and as
they ha been commended by Cows.
Comegys, Cooper, Stockton, Maui, aud
Causey, all Wings cooperating with the
same party with which the Bradfords
labored to keep the Democracy In the
minority in which 1t had been for
generation or more? Can he show thai
Hon. John W. Houston, Henry DUPONT
and John d. Rodney ever denounced
the laws Of Delaware as ''ssmi-barbar-
ismP" Can he show anything in the
Delaware Republican platfarm on which
he was elected that denounces the con
situation and the laws of his State as
semi-barbarous? Let him produce il
if lie can, before he accuses the able
lawyers and great men of Delaware's
past history OF ''sem-barbarism." Be-
cause the charge made against the
Democracy of the present day cannot
be sustained without resting the greater
weight upon the men of the past,
whose history and purity of character
many of the best men OF the present
day have diligently labored to prove
untarnished and keep sacred through the
preservation OF such mementos as could
be gathered aud stored up for future
reference.
Mr.. Bradford has done himself in
jury and discredlt i'll his attempt to
degrade the people Of his own State
in the minds of those abroad. We
regret that he should have fallen 50
low as to deal in the vulgar language
that might have been excused had 1t
come from the uneducated and mex
perienced. The old leven of fanati-
cal, malicious hate might as wei have
been longer concealed. Its exhibition
now can only diminish the estimation
of its author where he is standing
might have proved of service to the
people he attempts to traduce.

SHARPE PRACTICE ALLEGED IN
READING.-Mr. 4. w. Powell, in let
ter dated, Philadelphia, Nov. II, 1850,
to i. b. GOwen, Esq., President Of the
Philadelphia and Heading Railroad, re-
veals some alleged sharpe practice said
70 have been perpetrated, and asks Nj.
Gowen for an explanation rebuting tho
charges. Mr.. Powell says:
Mr.. Borie and Mr.. Mexican (brothers-
in-law and partners), being then one or
both iu the direction OF the Little
Sehuylkill Company, joined syndicate
Of seven, which bought the "Tamaquap
tract for bonds between 100000 and
s65O,0OO that they also bought another
tract adjoining ("The TuscaIora"D for
about 100000; that the syndicate held
the lands from 3 20 years and spen
considerable money upon them, but
With results very disappointing, proba-
bly, with considerable loss ; that the dis
appointment in this result of tins pun
chase was pretty widely known in Phil
idelphia, and that the tract was called
the "White Elephant" (the name, hear
having been given TO It by one of the
,yndicatel that the syndicate, still in
cluding those gentlemen, sold both tract,
20 the Reading Company, OF which they
100, were directors, for $2,250, 900, and
made large profit (with interest at 7
per cent, compounded at per cent .
he cost to the Company at this date
mounts to $500, ,O00). The purchase
las, believe, been absolutely unprudt-
able to The Company.
5lr. Harris has condemned the lands
IN his report, as no: worth the remain
ing ircunibrauces, and values them
1t about 81, 100000; (but the exact fig
ures can get fl ON the report ltself.)
First, then, have to ask whether
there is any material misstatement in
this summary? Secondly, Did you
knew that state of affairs when you
were in England in 1877? In your an
swer TO this second question depends
very much what amount of blame |
have to attribute TO you personally.
Mr.. Grower replies by saying:
That the large majority interest In
the lands was held by tho gentlemen
with whom | negotiated the purchase
nearly all VI whom had Affiliations Will
a rival line OF railway that 1t was i'm
| porLanL 10 keep out OF our territory
That we bought the land at the rate o
S479 per acre, about the time when ;
rival corporation bought ths adioinin,
tract at from $1,000 to $1,000 per acre
That the Tamaqua tract, according ever
Mr.. Harris report (Which estin tie
the amount of coal to be sent to marke
from any tract at but 27a per cent. Q
he total cuntehts), contains Is, 900
tons which can be sent to market, q
more than 80 per cent. in excess OF tn
amount contained in the Philadelpm
and Mahony tract, which latter NJ
Harris estimates to worth at preser
S3, 1887. That the real intrlnsi
value Of the TamaqHa lands owing I
their deep basins, 10 the large quantit
of coal contained in them, and the ia,
that they are nearer TO market than al
Of the Mahony lands, is at least S5 900

Be Faithful.

A man cannot afford TO be unfaithful
under any circumstances man cannot
afford To be mean at any time; a man
cannot afford to do less than his best at
all times and under ali circumstances.
No matter how wrongfully you are
placed, and no matter how unjustly you
are treated, you cannot, for your own
sake, afford TO use anything but your
better services; you cannot afford TO lie
to a liar; you cannot afford TO be mean
to a mean man; you cannot afford To do
other than deal uplightly with any man,
no matter what exigenciss may exist

afford to be anything but a true man,
living in his higher nature and acting

OUR CIRCULATING CURRENCY
The New York Times estimates our
circulating medium at present at ST ,205,-
00V,00O. These are high figures. They
call 10 mind the period of depression
prior TO 1873 when paper was our only
currency, and nearly one-third more
dollars were required TO make a pur-
chase. Then the government officials
were controlling the currency and be
fore the memorable crash OF that year
came they had reduced the circulating
medium to about $70O,ooO,O 900, if We re
member rightly, and were still declaring
that there was too much, notwithstand-
ing every sale of property made brought
ruin 10 the indebted owner. Look al
the statement as now presented by one
Of Mr.. John Sherman's chief party
organs. We clip the statement from
the n. Y. Times, of Saturday
"The circulating medium is now not
only ample but it is quite conceivable
We could get along with a little less.
According to trustworthy estimates, there
is now In the country, besides the
$69O,0O0,OOO Government notes and
national bank notes, at least S370OOO.-
600 of gold and S150,0O0,O00 of silver
OF which latter some $4,000, 900 are in
circulation or in the hands OF The banks.
So we have at least $l,l30,000,OOO OF
coin and notes in the Treasury, in the
.nks, and in circulation, besides the
$75,OOO,OOO, more or less, of silver dol
lars in the Treasury. Allowing for the
arrivals of gold since the Mint estma.t
on which this statement is based wa.
made, the statement is probably below
rather than above the fact. With thi
amount Of currency, all but a smal
fraction of which circulates readl,
at par, the possible gradual withdraw a
OF a small amount of bank circulation
need give rise TO no uneasiness."
1t was said on Saturday that money /
hardening, But that there was S., 600
600 on the ocean coming that would a
once enter circulation and relieve tb
stIingency. Well, il stringency ca
be effected In the face of that amount {
circulating medium, how was 1t possibl
in 1873 TO reduce the paper medium g
John Sherman and his heartless helper
did without bringing ruin upon all rel
estate holders? Only think of i
money "hardening" in the face OF tl
fact that the Treasury contains $50
OOO,OOO Of silver dollars and the tot,
circulating medium is twelve hundre
millions of dollars. The thing does n,
l,ok possible and yet the New Yol
papers say it is so.

restinction that it was only to be paid
when the whole. sum ofs$250. 900 was
fully m de DIP. OF this sum E. ID.
Morgan put down $1,000; John H..
Starin, $1,000; A. g. McCook, $3.50;
1hos. L. James, $3.50, and A. l. Dit
tenhefer, 500. 1t has met with more
opposition than was expected, and yet
seems likely to be the eau sc of doing
something for the ex-Presidsnt to keep
him out of the Presidential race in
1884. 1t has therefore been proposed
to make pension by act of Congress,
by voting him $4,000 year; another
proposition is to pass a law to pension
all ex-Presidents in future. The
Nesos, of this city opposes the project
and with much propriety says: "lf
General Grant went into the war from
patriotic motives this suggestion is an
insult to him; if he went into the war
like an adventurer, for the purpose of
snatching prize from fortune, he has
already had better luck and bigger
share of spoils than usually fall to the
lot Of adventurers. Certainly it was
only for what he did in the war that
the American people ever owed him
anything, and for his very great mill
tary services he has been amply re-
paid"

IHELAND's TRoUBLES.-Theres seemi
to be no telling when the troubles in Ire
land will end or in what they will re-
suit AT an informal tea-party given in
New York on Saturday evening to Rev.
Moneure ID. Conway and lady, who are
about to return home to England, that
eminent gentleman said:
s'He feared IL the Lanl League ag =
tation will pass away, leaving as little
accomplished for the Irish people as the
hundreds of excltements they have here
tofoTe had. 81 can see nothing but fail
ure," he said, "for the schemers to make
the land laws in Ireland different from
those in Scotland and England. They
are the result of conditions as nearly
alike in the three countries as are their
summers, winters aud the operations of
nature. A stream can no more be made
TO run up hill in one place than another;
the~laws of nature cannot be altered.
"But what shall this retoTm be? The
only treatment oil the problem which
could hope TO be successful would be the
most radical Of the plans proposed-that
the British Government should buy all
the land necessary for the purpose of Ie-
lief and then reiet it for cultivation. Tie
first step would naturally be to close out
the London corporations-sulids, they
are called-that would be great relief,
for there were never corporations with
less soul than these.
1.-The Government would have 10 be
kind in its Own interest,"" said Mr.. Can
W., 'for otherwise the main object Of
The change, peace in Ireland, could no,
oe secured. In case the Government
should lake the land rental sufficient
10 pay the expenses OF ownership and
management would be a noble revenue
If content III Ireland could be thereby
maintained"

JUDGE DAVIS ATTACK ON MR.
HEWITT.
From the PhiIa. Times.

From the Phila. Times.
In the laudsble attempt TO expose the
Chinese letter forgery and TO punish all
concerned ia II the friends OF General
Garheld are in danger of letting zeal
outrnn discretion. The decision of
Judge Davis in the Philip case, with all
it's good points, is disigured aud made
reproach by the inexcusable attempt of
the Sudge TO tnd bigger game than
Philip upon which to exercise his eele-
hrated power OF denunciation, 1t In
q using that he should have STACKED
Hr. Hewitt with so little foundation for
his allegst o1s. This attack is based
upon the theory that Mr. Hewitt was
consulted as 10 the public ton OF the fac
simile ia Truth and;not only advised hut
pr. sssd It. THIS, Judge Davis thinks,
was not consistent with the "decent re-
spect for truth and justice which should
characterize "a man cot known sagacity
and experience in public affairs" The
fact is, however, that Mr.. Hewitt did no
such thing AS is charged against him,
for the testimony establishes beyond n
doubt that the letter WAS published In
Truth before he ever saw either the
original or "a copy of 1t.
