gold, or it's equivalent in paper, the gov ernment should call it 100 dollars in gold, to be paid back together with interest on the full amount. Gen. Weaver claimed, and thousands of all parties acknowledged, that if the bondholders who were speculat- ing and growing fat on the misfortunes of the nation were entitled to such consider ate Legislation as this, surely the men who forsook home and everything in life that was near and dear, and perilled their lives on the battlefield in defence of the nation s existence, were equally worthy of the same consideration at the hands of the govern ment which their patriotism and valor had preserved.
 Thousands, and hundreds of thousands of petitions from all parts of the country, filled with signatures of soldiers alone, came pouring into congress, "praying'' yes "humbly praying for the passage of this act introduced by Gen. Weaver. What was the result Why the organs of the two old parties bounded the measure, the "Soldier Statesmen in congress ridi- culed it, the newsvenders wrote Weaver down buffoon, demagogue. an ass, and several other endearing appellations. and finally the committee to whom it was refer red smothered it.
 But what perhaps you may ask did the soldiers do about it ? Why they immedi- ately sounded the alarm, the call to arms. They again donned the "blue' and the white, they formed into companies and batallions, they marched and sang, and bursting of rockets, in the "sulphurous canopy" of blazing petroleum; they follow ed the leadership of the men who spat with contempt on their petitions, and they fought and voted against the man who championed them.
 But we are told that this movement is ir the interest of the "business community and perhaps Congress would hesitate before turning a deaf ear to class who are supposed to have more intelligent conception of their interests than the others referred to.
 The men in Congress are not fools They have the measure of all classes They know that the business man is as ig norant politically-if not more so-as ii the general run of workingmen, and will follow his party just as blindly. The abolition of the very convenient fractiona currency was intended as a usury trap whereby about 60 millions of dollars nigh be "scooped " in' from the unsuspectine people; and are we to suppose that thi' very same class of men who still contro the legislation of this country, are going to "pick up their traps and clear" il alarm merely at the noise of few hundred who "humbly pray9" Never, while thu people petition one way and vote the other will there be any heed given to their de mands. Never need they expect to regain their rights until they have learnt to knoy just exactly how they had lost them. Pc ) tition Congress to give back the fractiona currency! As well might you petition the burglar to give back his booty, or tn serpent to release you from his slim: folds.

lnspectlng the Peach Crop.


Some farmers from the country have
asserted this week that their peaches
had fallen so badly that but a very
meager guam hty remained on the trees
This had a tendency of course to cause
some talk and inquiry.
In company with J. G. Baily we
went to his farm yesterday near Moor
ton and an exa nination of his orchards
of 5000 trees, showed them in most OF
the varieties to be in abundant fruitage.
The yellow varieties are not more than
half as abundant as the others.
In his young orchard-tour years old
strong vigorous trees--the Crawfords
and Reeves have q sufficient quantity
for full crop, if the loss in the "June
shedding" is not too heavy. The
Smocks in this orchard are the most
effected and will need every peach re.
naming to make q good crop when
matured. In the older orchard the
trees of the yellow varieties seem nearly
as full as the others.
The Mountain rose, Yorks, Stumps.
&C., would be the better to drop at
least half their fruit, now nearly the
size of cherries. The very early varie-
ties, Alexander, Amsden June, Hale's
early, &C., are loaded down with fruit.
Mr.. Bailey will have fruit for the
market in little over a month. Two
years ago he shipped Amsden June
peaches as follows June 28th, II crates;
2sth, 6 crates; 3Oth, 8 crates. These
sold from $3.50 to $500 per crate, most
ly the latter figures.

Legislature and Levy Court ticket with
no Catholics uI on it and Governor
and Congressman who are not Catho-
lies. This is q declaration that no
Catholic dare aspire to higher honors at
the hands of the people than to be a
City Councilman and to secure places
on the police force. Without this vote
the Democracy of Wilmington would
be 80 weak as scarcely to deserve the
name of a party. Without it no Demo-
crat could be elected Governor OF the
State, or a mem Der of Congress. With
out II - latare's two seats in the UNI
tad States Senate would be filed with
Republicans instead of Democrats.
Without il the Levy Court OF New Cas-
tie County would have been lnani-
mously Republican, while it has been
II .auimously Democratic. To this vote
every Democratic Office holder in the
State is indebted for his office and
what is the pay? A number of Catho-
lies are placed upon the police force
and a number of them are permitted to
be elected to the City Council, but high
er than the latter they dare not attempt
to rise. A seat in Council is a bar to
further preferment. And yet, with a
strange delusiveness, this discarded
people hug the chains at bind them.

A DARK CLOUD hangs over the future
of the iron trade for six months. The
iron workers have demanded an in
crease of wages and have given their
employers until the first of June in
which to comply with their demands.
The employers acting in harmony hay 9
agreed to refuse the demand upon the
ground that the iron demand is falling
oft and they cannot afford to pay the
increased wages asked. 1t is estimated
that 40, 900 iron workers will engage in
the strike and they are prepared to hold
out six months, thereby not only keep
ing themselves out of work, but with.
holding 1000, 900 a month from circu.
latiop. This is sure way to lead to a
panic, the result of which cannot be
anticipated.

THERE is not an earnest and sincere
Republican who does not regret the split
in the Republican party of Pennsylva-
mia, especially since it could easily have
been avoided. We think the Independ. =.
ent boilers should have remained in
side the Republican ranks and have
SETTLE d their difficulties there, and if
they did not muster force enough to et-
feet a reform they should have ac-
quiesced and looked for better luck
next time. There seems to be no doubt
that Senator Cameron was arrogant and
overbear.ng, and by his conduct gave
excuse for bolt and when the oppor-
tunity was given to him to heal the
breach he committed great mistake
by not accepting the offer. Through
this mistake party that has from 25,.
900 to 10000 majority in the State, when
fairly and fully expressed has been
placed in imminent peril of defeat. A
small concession would have saved it
all. No party has ever succeeded with.
out making concessions and accepting
compromise terms. The refusal to do
either has been the great mistake in
Pennsylvania. The time has come
when the Republican masses will not
be bossed by either Senator Cameron or
Senator Mitchell. The people will de-
se-t either, whenever they assume to
carry out the prerogatives Of boss.
The days for bossjsm are over. He only
is a safe leader who studies the telnper
of the people and moves no faster than
the people will follow him.

in a seat in Congress, instead of a Re
publican to whom it rightfully belongs,
and any attempt to have justice done,
and the contesting member admitted to
his seat, meets with the disapproba
ton of the Democratic party. "Once
seated always seated" is their mott To
save Dibble, South Carolina memb Der,
who holds his seat by the grossest kin d
of fraud from being expelled as he
should be, the entire Democracy have
resolved to use all the power they have
to prevent vote on the question even
if several days Of the precious time of
Congress is wasted. The excuse of the
Democrats is that they want full dis
cussion when that is the farthest from
their wish, as facts would be brought
out and dilated upon very damaging
to the South Carolina plan of holding
elections. The Southern Democrats
have suffered sufficiently through the
exposure of General Chalmers mode
of carrying elections to permit more
and even worse exposures in other
cases, and they dema nd of their North

their rascality and the Northern Demo-
Gratis carrying out their doughfaced

A MENENro.

The Hon. ii. II. Williams, Of Osawatomie,
has given the Kansas State Historical Society
an eight.pound canon ball which was fired by
the Missourians at John Browns men at the
battle of Osawatomie. August 90, 1856. The
following extracts from manuscript letter
in the possession of the State Historical So
ciety, written by Capt. Brown to his family.
dated Lawrence, Kansas, September Z, 1856,
gives an account of the battle. The Missou-
rians who made the attack were led by John
w. Reid:
''On the morning of the 30th of August an
attack was made by the ruflians on OsawatO-
mic, numbering some 400, by whose scouts
our dear Frederick was shot dead without
warning, he supposing them to be Free State
men, as near rs we can learn. One other man
cousin OF Mr.. Adair, was murdered by them
about the same time that Frederick was kill
ed, and one wounded at the same time. At
this time l was about three miles of. where l
had some fourteen or fifteen men over night
that had just enlisted TO serve under me as
regulars. These l collected as soon as l
could with some twelve or fifteen more, and
in about three-quarters of an hour attacked
them from a wood with thick underground.
With this force we threw them into confti-
sion for about fifteen minutes, during which
time we killed and wounded from seventy to
eighty of the enemy, as they say. and then
we escaped as well as We could, with one
killed while escaping, two or three wounded
aud rs many more missing. Four or five
Free State men were butchered during the
day in all. Jason fought bravely by my side
during the fight, and escaped with me he be-
ing unhurt. | was struck by partly-spent
grape, canister, or rifle shot, which bruised
me some, but did not injure me. seriously.

The MANHATTAN CRANK.

The present is the age Of cranks and crank
ism. There are to be found in almost every
community class whose highest ambition
seems TO be the advocacy of some frenzy or
extravaganza in religion or politics. Their
normal place Is with the insignificant minor
ity, and they are never so happy as when
they have struck gait in opposition to the
convictions or wishes of "A whole people. OF
that class is one Albert Griffin, an editor at
Manhattan. For fifteen years he has been
on the protest. His whole editorial life has
been one continued snarl. Everybody is
wrong and be only right. When he finds
himself with the majority, lie Immediately

bilious Office. seekers, have instructed their
nominees TO the Legislature TO vote for Plumb
first, last and al the time. such unanimity,
such an overwhelming way of recognizing
mans services proves gall and wormwOod
to man OF Grifin's stripe. He sees no
chance FOR himself in the future save in the
destruction of preferred fayoriies. So,
through the columns of his own Insignificant
