FORTY SIXTH CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, February g5

SENATE.
Mr.. White asked unanimous consent Ia
have the bill to remove the disabilities ol
Joseph Monroe Heiskell, Of Baltimore,
taken up. Heiskell served in the Con.
federate army when boy, and under sec.
ton 1918 OF the Revised Statutes, is ineli.
gible to appointment in the army. He
thinks he may get an appointment as
paymaster in the army, and asks to have
his disabilities under said section removed.
Mr.. Edmunds asked why the Senate
avoided passing the bill repeating the
statute entirely. He thought that would
be more open and brave act. He char
acterized this and all bills OF this kind as
parts Of policy to break down the guar.
antees Of our liberty.
Mr.. Garland thought 1t high time that
section l,2lS was repealed, and he pro.
posed to amend the pending bill by strik-
ing out alraiter. the ehacting clause and
inserting THAT section 1,2lS OF the Re-
vised Statutes manning Its provisions) be,
and the same Is hereby repealed"
Mr.. Edmunds-I am very glad the Sem
ator from Arkansas (Garland), who Is al
ways logical and always brave, has made
that motion. Ihad just risen to make it
myself in order TO put this question on Its
true ground. l hope the amendment
will be agreed to, and when It Is I ask
the yeas and nays on the third reading OF
the bill.
The amendment was agreed TO and the
question being on the third reading OF the
bill 1t was determined in the affirmative.
Yeas 20; nays %. A strict party vote.
The Democrats voting yea and the Repub-
publicans nay. When Mr.. Harris name
was called he stated that he was paired on
all political questions with Mr.. Conkling,
and asked Mr.. Edmunds whether he con.
sidered this q political question.
Mr.. Edmunds: / think decidedly that
it is, and one Of the chief ones Of the
time.
Mr.. Harris: Then I, will withhold my
vote.
The bill was read third time and, alter
an extended discussion, the bill was indefi.
nitely postponed, when the Senate ad.
iourned.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Blount, from the Committee on
Appropriations, reported back the Star
Service deficiency bill. 1t was referred to
the Committee of the Whole.
The House then went into Committee
Of the Whole on the bill.

against the bill that while it did not item.
ize the appropriation, 1t did not specify
the total amount appropriated, as required
by Rule77
The Chair [Mr. scales) submitted the
question TO the committee, which refused
70 sustain the point.
Mr.. Blount then explained the bill, and
in the course Of his speech denounced in
very severe terms the Postmaster General
and Second Ast. Postmaster.Ge for theil
violation OF law In making contracts to the
amount OF Sl,7O0,0OO beyond the appro
priation, and thus placing Congress In an
attitude OF either indorsing their action
or leaving the country without such mai
service for three months.
Remarks were also made by Messrs
Blackburn, Money, Cannon and Cox.
Mr.. Hawley closed the debate severely
criticizing the action Of the Postoffice De
partment relative to the star service.
The Committee rose and the House sd
iourned.

JACOB AT BETHEL.
GENERAL STATEMENT.

The first result of Jacobs treachery in OBJ
tanning the blessing is the Indignation of his
brother Esau. To escape the arrow of the
fierce hunter, Jacob is compelled to fly from
his home, through lonea unfriendly lands
to relatives nearly five hundred miles to the
northward. Night finds him upon the lone
ly hills of Bethel, where long before Abra-
ham had reared his altar. He pillows his
head upon q heap of stones, and sleeps after
his weary journey. In his slumbers vision
rises before his eyes; q stairs mantled with
glory, reaching from the footstool to the
throne; celestial visitants passing up and
down on ministries of mercy to the sons of
men, and above all the awful form of the
Unseen God meets him face to face, not to
rebuke him Tor his deed of deceit butt melt
his heart and win his loyal services by words
of promise. The old covenant made with
Abraham and Isaac he now hears renewed
with himself enlarged in its scope and de-
fined in its provisions. and with wondering
Joy learns that he. in all his unworhiness,
the heritor of the patriarchal promises. The
morning breaks over the hills of Bethel, and
Jacobs vow is recorded before high heaven,
while the consecrating oil drops upon his
stony pillow, that henceforth the God of
Bethel shall Ire his God, and of all his gains n
tenth shall be consecrated to the divine ser.
vice upon the altar.

Advices from Philadelphia indi-
cate that strong effort will be made
to defeat the reelection of Speaker
Randall. A member of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee says
that the march of improvement in
Philadelphia in Mr.. Randall's district
has had the effect to drive out that
element which formed the chief
voting strength of the Democrats, and
that from this cause the Democratic
majority has been much reduced
that in vie of the bitterness existing
between Senator Valance anu the
Speaker, it is a well known fact that
the former is very much disposed to
leave Mr.. Randall to rely solely upon
his own resources in the contest, and
it is the purpose OF the Republicans
to take advantage of this cOmbina.

strong hopes of the election of theiH
candidate by small majority.

Speech of General Grant.

Gen. Grant presided at the great
Republican gathering at Warren,
Ohio, on the 28th inst, and spoke as
follows: 81 am Republican as the
two great political parties are now
divided, because the Republican party
is national party, seeking the great
est good for the greatest number of
citizens. There is not precinct in
this vast nation where Democrat
cannot cast his ballot and have it
counted as cast. No matter what the
prominence of the opposite party, he
can proclaim his opinions, even if he
Is only one among a thousand, with-
out prescription on account of his
opinions. There are fourteen South
ern States. and localities in some
/ Other States, where Republicans haye
not this privilege. This is the reason
why | am Republican. But l am a
Republican for many other reasons.
The Republican party assures protec-
tion to life and property, the public
credit and the payment of the debts
Of the government, State, county or
municipality SO far as it can control.
The Democratic party does not pro
mise this; if it does, it has broken its
promises to the extent of hundreds
of millions, or as many Northern
Democrats as can testify to their sor.
row. am Republican as between
existing parties, because it fosters the
production of the field and farm and
of manufactures and it encourages
general education of the poor as well
as the rich. The Democratic party
discourages all these when in absolute
power. The Republican party is a
party of progress anu of liberty
towards its opponents. 1t encourages
the poor to strive to better their con-
dition, the ignorant to educate their
children to enable them to compete
successfully with their more fortu~
nate associates, and in fine it secures
an entire equality before the law of
every citizen, no matter what his
race, nationality or previous condi-
ton. It tolerates no privileged
class. Every one has the opportunity
to make himself all he is capable of.
Ladies and gentlemen, do you be.
lieve this can be truthfully said in
the greater part of the fourteen States
of this Union to day which the DEM
ocratic party controls absolutely :?
The Republican party is a party of
principles, the same principles pre-
vailing wherever it has foothold.
The Democratic party is united on
but one thing, and that is getting
control of the government in all its
branches. 1t is for interal improve.
ment at the expense of the govern
ment in one section and against this
in another. 1t favors reputation of
solemn obligations in one section and
honest payment of its debts in an
other (where public opinion will not
tolerate another view. 1t favors fiat
money in one place and good money
in another. Finally, it favors the
pooling of all issues not favored by
the Republicans to the end that it
may secure the one principle upon
which the party is most harmODi

Quaker Ballots.


WILMINGTON, o., October 1.-The
religious Society of Friends, through
its members, furnishes a large pro-
portion of the population of this
(Clinton) county. They are good.
quite peaceable and peace loving citi-
zens; plain in their habits, extremely
conscientious in their opinions, fru.
gal, industrious and generally we'll
to-do. AS rule they eschew politics,
but their natural good sense and love
of right have led them almost univer-
sally to quietly attend the polls on
election day, vote the Republican
ticket, and as quietly return to their
homes again. Their national organ,
the Christian Worker is published at
New Vienna, this county, and nas
an immense circulation, not only in
this county, but in all the countries
throughout the world wherever
members of the Society reside, and
welding great influence. For a
few years past large number of
Friends have been voting for the cam
didates on the Prohibition ticket.
Where this great Society stands this
year is very fairly shadoWed forth
by the following, which appeared in
the last number of the Christian
Worker:
HOW SHALL WE VOTE?
A few weeks ago we published q
communication from friend in New
York, who holds that in the present
condition of affairs in our Nation it
will be best to vote for Garfield for
President at the coming election. In
this weeks issue we give rather a
long communication from our earnest
Prohibition friend, Lorenzo Stubbs,
who favorS voting an independent
Prohibition ticket.
AS the Christian Worker is not a
political paper. we do not propose to
allow the continuance of the discus
sion through our columns. In warm
political times like the present it
would be likely to run into party
feeling, and might somewha ALLEVIATE
warm friends. We propose now to
leave our intelligent readers to de-
eide for themselves how they will
vote. We do not believe in the prin.
Gil Q. of doing evil that good may
come. We do not believe in choos.
ing the least of two evils, but when
a man does the best he can u1ier the
circumstances, it is not doing evil at
all, but positive good.
Garfield was not the choice of the
politicians. He did not secure the
nomination by wire pulling and po.
litical intriguing. We regard his
nomination as prOvidential. 1t is
very rare, indeed, that so good
man is put in nomination for SO inn
portant an office. Those who are
nearest him and know most of him
speak of him as a remarkably pure
and conscientious man, of fixed re.
ligiouS and temperance habits. We
regard the issues which hang upon
til result Of the pending Presiden-
tial election as mOmentOus, that the
interests of the Indians, the freed
men and the peace and prosperity of
the country depend largely upon the
election of Garfield.
These are our honest convictions,
and so believing we hold it to be our
duty to vote in accordance with these
sentiments, altough we are not pol-
itician. and take but little interest in
political matters, only so far as moral
and religious questions may be in
vOlyed.
