MANLY IN DEFEAT.

A mans conduct in defeat is a sure
test of his quality. Especially is this
tque Of a man whose temperament is
neither duh no sluggish, bat active

People said of Mr.. Blaine, when the

will never get over it; this w4Jl be the
end of him." Doubtless many of his
frienls feared that these predictions
would ~ verified.
Bat they are pleasantly disappointed.
Mr.. Blaine mace Il speech in Augusta
on Tuesday evening which shows more
ability than anything lie did during
The campaign, proves that he accepts.

patty.
OF course we do not agree with the
views which he expressed, but that is
no reason why We should not recognize
their Importance and significance. The
ideas in this onc address are suggestive

the part Of the Republicans which the
Democracy can only meet successfully
by the exercise Of great discretion AND

In order fully to understand what
they will have to encounter and over

carefully study this address Of the
defeated Republican candidate for
President Y. Sun.

,cap to decline, and is now yielding
but $50 barrels a day. Instead ofhaE-
ing $50, 600 apiece the mel are now
that much in debt.
Near the Myer and Philips wells a
township school district cSvers an acre
of ground, which has always been val
ued at 500. When oil was struck IN
the district the directors refused o6O,-
600 for the school property. SINCE then
the surrounding wells have drained all
the oil from the pool, and the value OF
of the school lot is once o rated at
$500. Farmer Marshall, on whose
farm oil WAS discovered, and who
would have taken So, 900 tor it Il week
before, was satisfied with an offer oil

IHtLADELPHGA becelnoeIl
You don't know what we
are doing in furniture. We
know you don't, because you
tell US so when you walk
through our rooms the first
time.
We are selling more fur
niture than any other house
in town a good deal more.
That is of no account except
because we are new in the
business. We've hardly ever
seen the time when we
could handle furniture as
fast as we could sell it. That's
why we've kept SO quiet
about it.
Our manager sayswe have
the best collection Of furni-
ture in the u. S. We thought
it a rather strong statement
until we looked about and
considered whom to compare
with. If we were to compare
only the very richest of ware,
there's a housein New York
ahead of us. If we were
thinking only of what is
commonly called cheap"
furniture there are plenty
ahead ofus. But, thinking Of
a proper assortment for a
trade likeours, a trade that
demands good work of every
grade from cheap to the
highest, where is another
such?
Assortment is of some ac-
count in furniture. 1t is easy
to have a large stock, and
still not have exactly what
anybody wants. Our buyer
is everywhere. He knows the
new styles before you see
them. And do you suppose
the largest trade in Phila-
delphia doesn't get its choice
Of goods?
Two or three years ago
we told you that we were
actually making hair mat
tresses out of hair. 1t has
answered our purpose so
we'll that we have kept on
making them out of hair,
ever since. Some people
imagine that, because a mat
tress is sewed up that it isn't
going to be looked at, and
may as we'll be made out of
less c~ostlymaterial. Mattress
es we make; furniture we
buy. We mean to buy as
we'll as we make. AT any
rate we take the risk.
Look through our furni-
ture, liftle and big, coarse and
fine. A buyer in Philadelphia
had better not Sail to look.
The effects Of our fire are
over. Stock is full. And
the furniture is such as you
expect to find where hair
mattresses are made out OF
hair.

CT of tl.at large class Of II pop
uiation. In fact few die, and none al
low themselves to miss the quarterly

a million claims have been filed with
the Pension Office, of-wh'ch just about
one half have already been allowed,
and last year we went into au outlay
Of Gfty-seven million If dollars to
meet the pension demands, though 1t
should be- said that Thirty thousand OF
these last years pensioners were back
pay claimants under the arrears act.
The actual increase OF the pension roll
was nineteen thousand and seventy
eight. and the regular steady augmen-
tation is ald has been about il th0us-
and five hundred new claimants per
mouth. Tie whole number of pen
sioners who are actually in receipt Of
pensions is not Sc large as has often
been stated, the aggregate being 322,
1856, witch includes the widows, chill
dren. relatives, navy inyalids, &C., to
say nothing Of the old wars and their
widows.
We have paid out almost even hun
bred million Of dollars for pensions
since 1861 Il sum that p:akes the Con-
gressmen who had Il hand i'll passing

be called TO arms wilhim.hc next year,
or within tie next ten years, and the
highest estimate then gwen for pen
sion claims that the Government
would be called upon to meet III the
future was ten million dollars per year.
Yet we have in one year paid Il nun
dred million dollars and do not seen to-

Our surplus revenue is enormous, and
we are paying off the national d ut
more rapidly, economist say, than we
