NATIONAL GENEROSITY.

The city OF Georgetown, Md,
many years ago was destroyed by
lire. Congress was in session, and
the pitiable condition of the people
was represented to the members in
moving language. a member took
the floor and moved that fifty thous-
and dollars be appropriated for the
benefit of the sufferers. Davy Crock
EFT alone opposed the bill and his
friends urged him to be quiet or he
would ruin himself. But the au-
thor OF "Be sure You are right and
then go ahead delivered himself as
follows:
''Mr. Speaker, | believe l am the

The Philadelphia Times.
L SS11.
rlIE pHII-AnEIPHIA TIMES Is

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884.
THE TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its hiStOry-mOrC widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
tiercely criticized, with more complete or
ganiZatiOn, and an able SSOf of contributions
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past
The TIMES has no party to follow, no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done. with consistent devotion TO
the right to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
tion as the leading journal Of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
COncSeneSS ana FRESHNESS with which It IS
edited. THE TIMES spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
1t Il large variety Of entertaining and instruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns
and to make Ii q journal adapted both TO the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
Gle. Il welcome visitor to Intelligent ana honest
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES Is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere. especially in the thriving centres
Of rural population. have made the Old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatIstylng. Those
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our forWard-nOYIng people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness, and
they have but a shadow of their former power.
Those papers have had their usefulness but 1t
is gone and with it. they are going, too. 1t
was not the fault of the papers: 1t was the i'm
pr0vemenU Of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women. wherever they
live, now require fresher news; and they re-
quirc more than news.
THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers off the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
teTest TO the people at large, and sets ii before
them in such generosity of paper and print as
would have aStonishcd us all twenty ycOrs ago.
DAIL.N-TwelYe cents week. fifty cents 4
month. s. year. two cents copy.
SUEDAE-EOur cents copy. 3 year.
5 year; ten copies, SIS year; twenty cop
les So q year. with one copy free to the getter-
up Of every club.

THE ISSUE.

Several Democrats, among them
Messrs. Morrison, Carlisle, Hurd and
Dorsheimer, have drawn up and will
print an address to the country eX-
planning their position. Virtually,
it will put Randall and his followers
outside the party of which Carlisle
has been accepted as the recognized
leader. 1t will make a clean issue
between the protectionists who have
heretofore claimed to stand on the
Ohio platform and the Democrats
who have accepted the only issue
now before the people, and have
dared to oppose the mOnopolist in
terest represented in the the party
ranks by Randall. 1t must be re
membered that two-thirds of the
Democratic votes which enabled
the Republicans o defeat the Nor
rison bill, were cast by iron-men of
Pennsylvania.
This document will Immediately
make a new test of orthodoxy, and
if persisted in, will compel a change
of front by both parties. Old lines
will disappear, and the people will
range themselves under the Demo
cratic banner, while the m0nopoIists
and their creatures will cry out for
/ protection. Already the issues are
entirely different from those of a
/ few years ago, Then the evil to be
guarded against was rebellion in the
South; now the questions of the
hour are such as thcsc-What shall be
done with the surplus? How can
we abolish the collection of war tax
es without disturbing the business
interest, and, above all-is the capt
talist or the Iaborcr to be protected?
To these questions RandaII's answer
is directly contrary to that Of Car
Isle, and the two might as we'll be
under opposing banners. Each is a
leader Of men, and each is fighting
for principles, cherished convictions
and the good OF his own people.
Carlisle battles manfully for millions
Of men, Randall for millions of dol
lars. Carlisle IS a statesman, logic
al, far-sighted; Randall is earnest,
honest, capable, but his nature is
narrow, and he is more of a fnan-
cIer than a statesman. Carlisle is a
political prophet, Randall the typi-
cal man of his time and section.
The Democracy can only achieve
greatness under Carlisle; under Ran
dali our party can give prominent
position to few men, and will suf-
fer defeat on every pitched field.

unless imperatively necessary. the
Judge agreed with counsel for
the Territory, that all logs sold at
any place in the Territory before re-
moval from the ,lace where lhe same

towing, must he sealed Ly The Gov

make another complaint, but the
Judge declined Oh the ground that
as it was but short tlnc until the
Grand jury should meet and rroba-
bly, no danger Of the defendant run
ming away, there was no necessity
for such course.
At tie conclusion of the case and
the discharge of the defendant,
special counsel appearing for the
Government Inspector, expressed
satisfaction that the decision sub
stantially sustained the law.
The Judge then remarked that he
feared the law was so defective that
it would practically prove dead
letter, in this, that it would be in the
power of the mill owners to compel
the loggers to deliver the logs at the
mill before they would buy them,
and in such case the Scale Low
would not be violated.
The same attorney then remarked
that that view left the matter practi-
cally in the hands of the loggers
themselves. YES" replied the
Judge, "that is where it always

full whether the delegates elected to
the Democratic National Convention
in 1882, will be considered eligibl 9
by that body. The question has not
hitherto been raised, and it is pre-

chosen are satisfactory to the party
throughout the Territory, as we'll as
the instructions given OF first choice
for Gen. Hancock. If the delegates
can show that they represent the
wishes of the party, they will find
no difficulty in obtaining recognition
