A REPUBLICAN UNDER DIFF
FICULTIES.

Garfelds Attorney General, Hon,
Wayne MacEeagh, of Philadelphia, has
been making a speech in that city; and
he says: 81 am Republican under diff
ficulties." He is high Republican au-
thOrity, is man of brain, and allied to
the CamerOns being sOn-in-law of old
Simon. He discovers but three princi-
pies animating the Republican party.
These are: l. The SpOils. ,. The Boss
System. 3. Reputation of the State
debt of Virginia.
To show we do no injustice to Mr.,
MacVeagh we quote him IN full on this
important subject, and, we are assured,
the annexed remarks were revised by
himself:
My party seems now to have but three
principles, and l happen to be earnestly
and vigorously opposed to every one of
them.
It's first principle is the Spoils system.
am opposed to that.
It's next principle is the Boss system.
am opposed to that.
The only other principle of the party
that | can discover is the Reputation of
the State debt of Virginia. am opposed
to that.
So am Republican under difficult
ties, and we are all of us becoming so.
You are surprised at not getting a re-
SpOuS6 W your communication from
President Arthur. But he has always
done what you are censuring tonight.
He always was for the Boss system.
The Boss system is a graded system,
going up from the drinking saloons of
large cities through the different official
ranks to Governors and Presidents.
Those men to-day rest on the spoils
system. They need the degradation and
Generalization of the civil service.
Their entire political structure depends
upon it. The only way is to OyeTwhelm
them with votes. You must supplant
them with other men.
Look at the awful humiliation through
which Malone and his associates are
dragging the State of Virginia. Every
citizen must be ashamed of the spectacle.
The Administration is prOstituting the
national treasury to enable a certain
portion of the people of Virginia to force
another portion to repudiate her debt.
If we would charge that crime upon the
party responsible for the rebellion, if we
could charge it upon the Bourbon Demo-
eracy, it would be some relief. But it
is being done by the party which repre-
sent the names of Abraham Lincoln and
Charles Sumner.
This terrible arraignment of the Re-
publican party comes from a remarkable
and unexpected quarter.

elsewhere, as circumstances may sug-
gest.
1 also recommend the formation of
Forestry Societies, Roadside or other
tree-planting Associations, in the several
counties, towns, townships and villages
in the State.
L further desire to direct attention to
the proposed National Forestry COnven-
tiOn to convene in Music Hall, at Gin
cinnati, on Tuesday, the 25th inst, and

turing establishments, Boards of Trade,
Unions, &C., to send delegates to this
Congress, and assist in making it a sue
cess.

Seal of the State of Ohio to be affixed at

hundred and fifth year of the Independ-
ence of the United States.

ARBOR DAY.
Governors Proclamation

In accordance with the resolution re-
Gently adopted, directing the Governor
to issue proclamation setting apart a
day in April for the planting of trees.
Gov. Foster issued the following:
To THE PEOPLE OF OHIO: Whereas, the
forests of the State are rapidly disappear
ing to an alarming extent; therefore re-
solved by the General Assembly of the
State of Ohio that the Governor be and
is hereby authorized to issue prOclama-

nine delegations of wOrkmen in process
sion from every part of the city, with
torchllghtS and transpaFencies. and
headed by bands of music, were arriy-
ing continually. As the delegations
kept arriving the American Club, whose
headquarters were brilliantly lighted,
c0mpllmented the occasion with dis
play OF fireworks. The Union League
Veranda opposite was thrOnged with
wondering and curious members. Frank
s. Kaufman of the Typographical Union
presided.
Every trade and occupation in the
city was represented. There was also
one ladies' organization represented
among the shOemakers, the Garfield Pi-
Oneer Assembly. Amid the forest of
transparencies that rose from every
part of the vast assemblage, like the
masts of so many ships on a dark sea.

quent. Among the most striking of
the notices was one on the Transparent
cy of the iron workers from Kensing-
ton, one side of which had picture of
President Arthur carrying a buLdle of
clothes to a Chinese washer-WOman.
President Arthur was represented as
saying, You are my friend. You wash
my clothes cheap" The Chinese wash
erwoman was represented answering,
Me like you. Me washee your shirtee
cheapee."
Letters of regret were read from
Mayor POwdeTly Grand Master of the
Knights of Labor, of Scranton, and
from R. d. Layton, Grand Secretary, of
Pittsburgh. Both spoke strongly
against President Arthur and the veto
and urged the wOTkingmen to organ
ize. Layton said that since the veto he
could see Arthur only in widehOwing
trOwsers and pig-tail.
Congressman MuTch, the stone cutter
who defeated Eugene Hale for Congress
in Maine, made a telling speech. He
accounted 1T the most distinguished
honor of his life to be permitted to ad-
dress such a vast asSemblage. What
did it mean? It means that the Presi-
dent of the United States had insulted
the wOrkingmen of the country. 1t
meant that they were determined to
express their contempt and Indignation
for his act. Who was to blame for the
veto? 81 place the blame where it be-
longs" said the speaker, ION the shOul-
ders of the Republican party" The
speaker characterized Minister Lowell
as most contemplate aunkey. At the
mention of his name one deep grOan
went up from the vast audience. ResO-
lutions were passed denOuncing Presi-
dent Arthur and his veto and approving
of the bill, and setting forth that indus
trial slavery should never more exist
in this Republic. The different speak
ers were loudly applauded.

THE President, in addition to his own
easOns for VetOing the Chinese bi |,
transmits to Congress a copy of memo
randa made in objection to it by the
Chinese Minister at Washington, and
handed by that gentleman to the Secre-
tary of State. The Minister objects to
the inclusion of skilled labor in the pro-
hibitiOn, as that would cover laundry
men, cigar-makers, shOe-makeTs, mer-
chant tailOrs, who are needed by the
resident Chinese to do their necessary
work, and by Chinese merchants and
manufacturers in America to conduct
their business. The Minister also re-
marks that if the bill becomes law, it
will leave the impression in China that
this government has strangely misundeT-
stood the treaty, and it will also tend to
prejudice the intelligent classes against
the United States Government, and peO-
pie whom they now greatly admire. 1t
will hardly be necessary to notice at
length the peculiar objections of his ex-
cellency, the Chinese Minister. That
Intelligent and Jealous officer is doing
his best for his own country and people,
and apparently with far more skill and
honesty than our officers serve us. He
owes no responsibility to us, and we
owe none to him. The loss of the good
opinion of the mandarin class of China
men, with which he threatens us, we
could possibly bear. AS to the ineOn-
Venience the bill would work to certain
classes of employing Cinnamon in this
country, it may be said that one of the
purposes of the bill was to work that

BOILER EXPLOSION.

BALTIMORE, April IA large boiler
in a building on Pratt street, next to
the corner of Fremont, exploded yester-
day afternoon with terrible loss of life.
The immediate part of the building
where the explosion occurred was Occu-
pied by A. H. Sibley & Co. as a chop and
feed mill, and the floor above, and the
first floor adjoining on King street, by
Miller 81 Cleman as a sash and door fac
tory. The machinery had been idle for
sometime for repairs, and fire had just
been started to resume work when the
explosion occurred. A portion of the
boiler was propelled nOrthward, en-
tirely demolishing two twO-stOry brick
dwelling houses on King street, and
throwing down the side wall of the
rear building adjoining. At the time
of the explosion John Addison, engi-
neer; Harrison Waters, cOlored fireman;
Andrew Cooper, a machinist, who had
been making repairs, and Frank Kran-
All were killed except Cooper, and he is
not expected to live.

ARRESTED FOR BRIBERY.

AhhEOIED FUR BRIBERY
COLUMBUS, April 15.-The bribery in
vestigation has led to the Indictment by
the Grand Jury and the arrest of Bloch
of the House, saloon member from
Cleveland; Wright of Hooking and a
lobby tool named John d. Watson.
Bloch and Wright furnished bail in
the bail and had to change his quarters
from the Neil house to the county Jail.
This is the first occurrence of the kind
in the history of Ohio.
Speaker Hodge realizes by this time
probably, that there is a lobby at Co
lumbus, as before the arrest of Bloch
and Wright, he received due legal no
tice they were indicted and would be
arrested. Many of the more respectable
Republican members favor eXpelling
the two indicted members. These two
feel their humiliation.
The passage of the Smith bill by the
House yesterday completes the record
for the Republican family of Ohio.
Many are in state of agony and alarm
for the future. Their hypOcritical
course on the liquor and Chinese ques-
tiOns is now plainly manifest. In the
Garfield platform of 1880 they took
ground against the influx of Chinese
coolies, in order to better protect Amer
lean labOrers, and on the liquor ques-
tiOn the party was opposed to a license
law. The party is now committed to
free Chinese immigration, and regard
less of the Constitution of Ohio they
have passed the Pond License Liquor
law! This is in character with the con-
sistency of the party. A leading trait
is arrant hypocrisy. One of the Stark
members last fall saved his election by
visiting the saloons and getting votes
in this way.
The meeting of the Republican State
Committee took place yesterday and was
cold and formal. They fixed their State
Convention at Columbus on June 7th.
The Governor on Friday pardOned
John Bowers, of Medina county, who
had served six out of eight years for
burglary. The pardon was recon-
mended by the Judge, Prosecuting At
tOrney and county officers.
The Smith Sunday bill passed by a
vote of SO to 81 Twelve Democrats
voted for the measure and ten Republi-
cans against. Six members were alb
sent, or not voting.
