The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1882-04-21
ORR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
PHILADELPHIA. April IS. 1ss

DEAR HENRY-OWlng to the finan-
cial pressure fear l viii not be able to
visit Europe this year. AS an offset for
the pain this intelligence may give you
and the readers Of the FREEMAN, I am
banpv in being able to announce the
consoling information that NJ. Hall
stanton and his charming wife will again
be chief entertainers at Cape May.
I presume it is a matter of great graf
itude TO every Christian heart in Cam
bria that the infidel plan of salvation for
the Dorsey gang has been upset. If even
Bob IngersOll has not yet entirely sue
ceeded in getting away with the Bible
and the Christian religion it is cOnsOlinp
to know that he failed in this plan of
salvation for the Star Route thieves.
Happily Judge Wiley removed Bob's
stumbling block, and the Star Route
thieves viii be prosecuted.
Cump sherman has done a horrible
thing in ruthlessly ordering Captain
Bradley to his regiment. By this cruel
act Washington society has been cast
into gloom. For fifteen years at a fat
salary Captain Bradley has led the Ger
man in Washington. and now he is or
dered to the post of duty. Oh cruel
Cump.
Poor old cy--ill-fortune's
harpoon still keeps speaIing him. 4
stirring up of the Peruvian pool has
brought the poor Old fellow to the sur
face again in a very filthy condition. 1t
seems that Minister Hubert was sensI-
BILE to the very last. The good Minister'S
last wOIds were: ''Shipperd is a curious
mixture of the kuave aud the fool. with
bare prepOnderance of the former
Jesse James, who has been killed many
times, If not thoroughly killed this time
will return again. If Jesse really is
dead, he viii be missed.
Certain politicians who have been flat
teTing themselves with the belize that ex-
Governor Hartranft's goose was cooked
have had their peace of mind disturbed
by being assured that his goose is still in
full feather and laying bigger eggs than
any mans goose IN the country.
Last Saturday night atteSted the great
interest the wOrkiLgmen of Philadelphia
take in the Chinese question. WhilenO
Chinaman was beguiled from his wash
tub to gaze on the banners and devices
which proclaimed him an uucOngeuiaI
and unwelcOme guest OF the American
nation, all other natiOnalities and races
were represented. Our great anti-Chi-
neSe statesmen viii discover that some
thing more than an abrogation of the
stipulation of the Emperor of China viii
nese.
WASHINGTON JOTTINGS.
1t is said that Guiteau's President
strolls about the streets of Washington
late at night with Tom Murphy. Bliss
and others Of the Grant gang. Gossip
likewise says that he goes about at night
with buXom blonde grass widow. The

an excitement in the White House since
the amiable CIump fought Doc. Bliss for

THREE ANDIATING PRINCIPLES.
Hon. Wayne MacVeagh saws ssThe I
party has three anfmating
The first is the sp0ilssystem;
he second is bossism, and The third is
'epudiatiOu." All three of these sv7-
ems that gentleman declares to be most
to him. Iu speaking of the
President, Mr.. MaCNcagh saws: 'sWhat .
Mr.. Arthur was in the New York Gus

Arthur Is to-day in the White House. .

he men who viii meet IN the next Re-

rom boss rule. they should make Mr.
Mac Veagh's speech their platform of
principles.
Probably it was from delicate person
j considerations that MT MacVeah did
lot speak of William F. Chandler's an
'Oistment to the Cabinet. 1t certainly
must be CALLING to Mr.. Mac Ve8rh to see
