fact that in those States no man who was

Democrat he may be to day, has the slghtest
chance of political promotion. The one great
avenue to honor in that section Is record
of Jealous service in the war against the Gov
ernment It is certainly an astounding fact
that the section, in which friendship for the
Union in the day OF IFS trlal ana agony MAS
political disqualification, should be called
now to rule over the Union. All this takes
place during the lifetime of the generation
that fought the war; and it elevates to the
practical command of the American Govern
ment the identical men who organized for
its destruction and plunged us into the
blOOdiest contest of modern times have
spoken of the South as placed by the late

South furnished nearly three -four1hs of the
electoral votes that defeated the Republican
the Democrats as unchaIIenged and as
restrained as they held the same position for
thirty years before the war.
THERE MUST BE EQUALITY or RIGHT.
Gentlemen, there can not be political in
equality among the citizens of free repuo-
lie. There can not be minority of white
men in the North. Patriotism, selt-respect,
pride, protection for the person and safety
for the country all cry out against lt. Inc
very thought of it stirs the blood OF men who
inherit equality from the Pilgrims who first
stood on Plymouth Rock, and from the lib
erty loving patriots who came to the Iela,
ware with William Penn. 1t becomes primal
question of American manhood. 1t demands
hearing and settlement, and that settle
ment will vindicate the equality Of American
citizens in all personal and civil rights. It
Will at least establish the equality of white
men under the National Government, and
viii give to the Northern men who fought to
preserve the Union as large voice IN its
government as may be exercised by the
Southern man who fought to destroy the
Union.
The contest just closed utterly dwarfs the
fortunes and fate of candidates, whether
successful or unsuccessful. PurpOsely-Im may

and consequences of that contest without
reference to my own defeat-without the re-
mOtest reference to the gentleman who Is ell
evated to the Presidency. Toward him, per-
sonally, have cause for the slightest i'll
will, and it is with cOrdialitY / express the
wish that his official career may prove graft
flying to himself and beneficial to the coun-
try, and that his administration may over
come the embaTrassnents which the peculiar
source OF its power imposes on 1t from the
hour of its BIRTH"
At the conclusion of Mr. Blaine's speech he
invited the large crowd into his house, and
for nearly an hour an informal reception
was held, the hundreds OF people passing
through the rooms. The greetings were eS-
pecaIlY friendly and cordial.

The National Bankruptcy Bill.

BOSTON, MASS, November 20.
The merchants of Boston held meet
ing Yesterday to listen to representa-
tives of the National Bankruptcy Bill now
before Congress. The Hon. Leopold
Morse said that the difficulty in securing
good legislation in Congress lay in the
fact that Republicans would not support
Democratic measures and vice versa. lie
thought, however, that the bill would be
passed in the coming session.
The Hon. A. A. Ranney said that the
bill was not a party question, yet the
record showed that the opposition to it
had been partisan. Now that Cleveland
is elected, and the Democrats have the
offices, perhaps they will pass the bill.
1t will be passed if the people of the
country favor it. Congress is always
eager to cryslalize the peoples express
sions into law.
General ID. z. Collins differed with Mr..
Ranney in that he believed that the OPP
position to the bill was not political, but
sectional. 1t was the South and West
that opposed the bill; Northern and East
srn Democrats favored it equally with
Republicans. To secure its passage ap-
peal must be made to Democrats and Re
publicans alike in the South and North

The annual report of Chief Brooks Of the
Secret Service Division of the Treasury
Department shows that during the past
year 423 arrests were made by secret
service agents. The amount of counter
felt money captured OF surrendered dur
.ng the year was S6S4 $50, a large pro-
portion of which was in fash notes. A
marked decrease is noted IN the circuia-
ton of cards in imitation of United States
Treasury notes and metal tokens in
imitation of United States coin for
advertising purposes. Manufacturers,
becoming better acquainted with the
requirements of the law, have substi-
tuted other designs for the imitation of
gold and silver coins for use as bangles.
The report says the events of the past
year give evidence of a revival of the
manufacture Of counterfeit paper money,
which was practically suspended during
the years 1882 and 1883. Chief Brooks
IS of opinion that there is to-day in the
hands of counteKfeiters nearly $500, ,000
of new spurious notes of the denomina-
tions Of $40 and $50, which have been
produced since January lst, 1854.

BALTIM ORE, MD, November 20.
Miss Barbara Winterbauer, twenty-five
years of age, who lives at No Calvcrton
road, was accidentally shot by a young
friend, Charles Leopold, Tuesday night.
Leopold, in company with a friend, was
spending the evening at the lady's house.
About ten O'Clock, as the visitors were
leaving, Leopold took out his revolver
to show it to Miss Winterbauer, who was
anxious to see how it worked. He pro-
ceedcd to explain the parts by removing
the cylinder, the chambers of which
were empty, with one exception.
In returning the cylinder to its
place his hold slipped, and the
hammer fell upon the cartridge, discharg-
ing it. Miss Winterbauer threw her
haud up to her right side, and exclaimed:
ooh, you have shot metz The young
men laughed at first, thinking she was
testing but the appearance of blood soon
convinced them that she was in earnest.
Leopold, confused and terrified, seized
his hat ard ran for a doctor, but hunted
for some time before he could find one.
The ball entered the lady's right side and
probably penetrated her left lung. She
will die

EIGHT LUCKY ARABS.

Trcy Came Over From Syria Last Spring
FenniirS< and are Going Back Rich.
NEw YoRE. Oct l9.-Superintendent
jackson, Of Castle Garden, was astonished
Yesterday when Samuel GoldStein, mis-
sionary, who speaks thirteen languages,
marched into the Garden at the head Of
eight Arabs and purchased for them return
tickets to Europe and got 81 500 exchanged
for them. The leader Of the Arabs
broad-shouli5red, intelligent man, said;
I'VE came from Bairut, Syria, last March,
bringing with us beads and crosses made of
wood from the Mount of Olives, and shells
cut in the form OF the cross, with inscrlp-
tons When we landed we we're penniless.
We separated, going in couples, and tramp
ed through the country. BY previous ar
rangement we met in Mexico last July.
TIE people in this country are good and
generous, and we found food and shelter.
We had to beg at times, but Catholics eagerly
purchased the beads and crosses.
ASK them what they are going to do
when they get home said Superintendent
Jackson to Interpreter Goldstein.
They intend to buy camels and become
mel chants" replied Goldstein. They have
made enough here to buy two or three
camels apiece, which they could not have
done In Asia if they had lived there a
thousand years. They say that they will
start an agency to send Arabs out here
next spring, and they think that ship loads
will come
