WEbad pleasant call yesterday lromaen.
Las A. Beaver, of BellelOnt, Centrecsu
Pa chairman Of the Pennsylvania dele
cation Mt Chicago, the gentleman who
sddressed our Ohio fellow citizens at
Bridgeport last evening. Gen. Beaver is
one Of the soldiers who were literally shot
10 pieces during the war. He served two
ypars under Hancock and admires him as
a soldier, but he draws broad and deep
line between Hancock the soldier, and
Hancock the politician and candidate.
He lost his right leg in the service and
vas otherwise badly shot. Heis law.
var at the Centre county bar, and is very
bright, genial and intelligent man-one
wboee words, coupled with his record,
should have, and will have, great weight
with the people, especially the soldier
element.
The General requested us to correct the
statement in our Sleubenville dispatch Of
FRIDAY morning, by which he was alluded
IN AZ the original Garfield man from Penn.
sv,yania, who had voted solitary and
alone for Garfield a number oil times be-
fore his nomination. The solitary man
WINS ". A. NJ. Grier, Of Hazelton, Pa, and
inasmuch as Gen. Beaver was one OF The
1908" who belonged to Grants famous
"old guard" at Chicago, the statement
fromsleubenville does iniusticeall around.
In converting with him about the prog
ress of the campaign, we asked him how
be found the soldier element in his can
vass. He replied that not soldier had
left the Republican party so far as his per-
son acquaintance extended. They seem
70 be standing firmly and solidly by Gar
field. Like himself, many Of them admire
Hancock as a soldier but not as apolitic-
ian or candidate. They do not endorse
his record since the war and willrepudiate
it as the polls.
AS for the Democratic talk about carry
ing Pennsylvania for Hancock, there is
nothing in It that even approaches
probability. Its all the veriest humbug
and delusion. The Keystone State will go
overwhelmingly for Garfield and Protee-
ton. No Hancock and ''tarifffor revenue
only" for Pennsylvania. Not by a largems-
jority.

From tho Chicago Times.
Miss Phoebe W. Cousins, of st. Louis,
has been visiting the capital of her Coun-
try, and has had most unfortunate expe-
rience o. mans inGivillty to woman in the
national halls Of legislation. She herself
takes column Of a Washington paper to
tell the grievous story of how she has been
seated in a reception room, stared at by
Doors, and subjected to cold draughts,
and how, too, q superserviceable page and
supercilious doorkceper-whom heaven
pardon, for she can not-ordered her and
her party to quit the gallery seats they
occupied, because, with no purpose to
offend, they had wandered into the seats
set apart for his august majesty, the Pres.
ident of the United States, and their high
mightinesses, the members Of his cabinet.
Miss Cousins anger moves her to the EN-.
ployment Of some sonorous, If not exactly
perspicaCiOus, rhetoric. "All enforced dis
tinctions are a libel on the expressed
principles of the government" cries Miss
Phoebe, "and should be throttled in their
infancy, ere they reach the quagmire that
leads to thrones" But just you never
mind. "Woman's dignlfed presence will
yet consecrate every stone OF its building
to wise laws, pure morals, and secure in
stitutions." If this were not to be, why
is there a goddess of liberty atop the capi-
tolP "The prophetic figure Of woman,
standing erect and free upon the last great
capstone of our monumental justice, un-
supported by masculine arm or aid, were
a mockery to the great soul of the uni
verse who planted her footstep there as
the crowning glory of the prophecy Of
the ages" Miss Cousins, who, but
moment ago, was in the cold draughts of
the reception room, declares in a magnif-
cent burst Of eloquence: "We are in the
whirlpool of the torrent, in the clash Of
the elements which betoken unhealthy
atmospheric conditions, in the throes Of
the agony which betoken the death Of the
old and birth of the new." Wherefore,
of course, Miss Cousins and her company
ought not to have been turned out Of the
gallery. But the spirited champion of her
sex is bound yet to be even with the Doors
of the capitol, for, TO quote her own Wig
orous and trenchant phrase: "As in the
material, so in the moral and spiritual,
the veil Of the temple is ever torn when
the problems Of humanity are born" It
may be hoped that by this time that door
keeper is ashamed Of himself.

The government actually borrowed but

it has paid per cent. semi-annual inter.

a sum it never borrowed, and which the
bondholders never loaned, the sum of over

ment of the actual debt, as is the law, both
common and statute in all commercial

entire public debt, but an excess of three
or four hundred millions which the bond
holders in justice, equity and conscience
now owe the government.

The following is speech made by Hon

representatives, on his motion to amend
the rules Of the hoase so that each mem
ber could introduce at least one bill al

killed in the committee room:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN-Each member Of thi;
house represents about one hundred and
fity thousand American citizens. When

constituents with some special duties, the
introduction Of some measure or policy

place is exempt from its intrusion. The
government, the church and the press are
all in league with the money power, with
few notable exceptions. An impover-
ished people cry in vain for relief from the
despoilers, and each succeeding struggle
Of the victims would appear to draw the
coils OF the serpent all the more tightly
around them.
In this grand conspiracy to take from
the people the power to govern themselves,
the anti-republicans OF America have the
united support of the ruling class of Eu-
rope. Grants reception at the hands Of
tho rulers" of Europe was in the clpac-
ity of ruler of the United States, and
not as Il citizen of the republic. Jay
Gould would give million dollars to see
Grant in the white house" Tom Scott
would feed his sarfs on rifle d,et." Rev.
Joseph Cook declares universal suffrage
an unnlitigated nuisance and dangerous
to society,""
On each recurring Monday since the be-
ginning of the present session Of congress,
a champion OF the peoples rights has
stood up in his place and offered bill to
secure equal justice to the people, and on
each occasion democratic speaker and q
democratic congress has overstepped all
law, at the behest Of the money power,
and turned deaf ear to the voice of the
people.
The money power is a unit against pop
ular sovereignty, and calls for, and now
has q bill before the congress OF the Uni
ted States providing for, q standing army
Of 100000 men, with which to suppress
all manifestations of discomfort. Where
it cannot intimidate, it bribei. All ele-
ments of power seem to be at its COM
mand, and having disinherited the people
by legal devices, it now proclalms its
determination to sustain "the majesty Of
the law"
What say the people to all this tyranny
and corruptionp Are they Indifferent to
all this clamor for 'shong government?"
No, no! On million hearthstones have
been kindled the watchfres Of liberty, and
gathered around them with clenched hand
and bated breath they renew the vow that
"a government by the people, of the peo-
pie, and for the people, shall not perish
from the earth"
Power belongs to the people alone, and
when exercised by them, peace and plen'
ty, intelligence and virtue prevail; while
the concentration of wealth into the hands
of the few creates the power which tyran-
nizes over and corrupts the people. Tyr
amy and freedom, corruption and honesty,
cannot dwell together One or the other
must go, and the American people are
awake 10 the fact that the question before
them is: Shall they maintain the freedom
and sovereignty Of the people, or shall
they submit to the tyranny and corruption
of class rulep

On this net gain, or excess of bonds ovel

terest for an average Of sixteen years. The
interest for one year would be $40, 7l3, 2S6
Having had the use of this, it should bt

the bondholders have received as interest
on licticious sum for which they gave nc
consideration, the sum Of $l,743, ,SS9, ,4S9
On page 1,6i0 OF the Congressional
Globe, Sd session, 40th Congress, may bt

also their gold value.
See also statement of July Is. 1878, pre-
pared at the treasury department, giving
value Of currency IN gold each year from
1862 to 1868.
If man should borrow one hundred
dellars, and Civ his note for one hundred
and fifty, with legal interest, no court o
justice in Christendom would compel hin
to pay but one hundred dollars and lega
interest, and if he had paid, for term o.
years, interest on the fifty dollars in excess
of which he actually borrowed, the court
would decide that It, with legal interest

If the transactions which have taken
place between the bondholders and the
government, had been between individu'
ais, it would be the right of the borrower
(the governmspt) in law and equity K
have the principal of the debt redeemed
to the amount of its gold value, at the
time it was contracted, and by resortine
to the courts he would obtain that relief
and also the application Of any excess o.
interest above the rate upon that value
to the extinguishment of so much Of tht
principal Of his bond.
Why are not the government and thu
people entitled to the same measure o.

just What the Bonds Cost.

From the Chicago Sentinel,
Over two thousand millions 0f our bond
ed debt was created between the year:
1862 and 1868, and all the bonds were sold
at par for deprecated greenbaCks and
treasury notes.
The bonded debt is now worth pre-
mium in gold, and interest has been paid
on it in gold, at its par value for an av-
erage OF sixteen years.
For the purpose OF demonstrating just
what the bonds cost the holders, and how
much they have made by the operation,
the following facts ana figures have been
carefully CLEANED and compiled from the
official reports and public records. The
first column gives the year, the second the
amount of bonds sold that year, and the
third what they cost in gold:
