Silken Stars and Stripes.

WASHINGTON, January 23.-In the
Senate to-day the Chair laid before the
Senate the memorial of the Wnmen's
Silk Culture Association of the United
States. The memorialists recile the
great success through their efforts of the
work of silk culture in the homes of this
country, and crave the good will, in1u-
ence and aid of Congress in the develop.
ment of an industry so important to the
women and children of the United States.
The memorialists beg the Senate TO &C.
cept with their memorial a truly Ameri-
can flag, made of silk raised in Ameri.
can homes, by American women and
children, reeled, spun, dyed, woven and
mounted in Philadelphia.
The flag, which is large and hand
some one, was borne to the desk and was
the subject of much admiration, both
from the floor and the galleries.
Senator Beck offered a resolution ex.
pressing the high appreciation aud thanks
of the Senate for the flag and admiration
for the efforts and success of the Women's
Silk Culture Association in their patriot
ic purpose to amelorate the Industrial
condition of their country women and
to enlarge and diversity female em-
ployment in the United States.
Senator Morgan, in feeling and
happy manner, welcomed the flag with
all that it meant to the hall of the
Senate. There was time, he said, when
he was acting in hostility to the flag, but
that time would never again come. The
sentiment which it embodied in the form
now presented to the Senate was one that
added strength TO the bond Of union
between the States and intensified the
love of country that every American
should be proud to feel and 10 express.
Senator Dawes congratulated the
country on the great advance made in
silk culture in SO short time, it being
only few years since the work was
undertaken.
Senator Beck's resolution was then
agreed to.
When the House met this morning

that presented to the Senate, ornamented

Speaker laid before the House commu-
nica:ion from The Philadelphia Women's

States, rendering the flag to the House of
Representatives, and be,peaking for it a

COL. FUCKERS REPLY.
Short and Vague Reasons for his Actie


MIR. EDITOR: I see in your paper arti-
cles referring to the petition sent from this
County, calling upon the Legislature to
pass law under which the people of the
County should determine tie question of
license or no license. You, and citizen
signing himself "Prep," wish to know
how the Representatives of this County
stood upon this bill. In reply to this,
my position can be stated in few words.
I favored return of the bill to the
House from the delegation without re.
commenda!ion. 1 went before the
Judiciary Committee of the Senate, and
believing that the repeal of the present
local option law to be inexpedient and
unwise, gave my views to that effect
to the Committee. Such was my action
in regard to the bill on this matter. I
have repeatedly given my opinion upon
this subject to such of my constituents az
seem to be interested in this matter, as
far as I have met with them, and will be
ready at any time in meeting any one
who desires, to give my reasons in the
matter. Respectfully,
E.. M. RUCKER.

President Arthur has nominated Hon.
Emory Speer to be District Judge Of
the Southern District Of Georgia. This
appointment has been received with
protest by the leading members of the
bar of Georgia. Mr.. Speer is shrewd
politician and a successful schemer, but
it is generally contended by those who
oppose his confirmation that he has
neither the legal attainments, nor the
judicia. surn of mind, necessary to quail
fy him to acceptably discharge the duties
of the Judgesbip. Senator Colquit, of
Georgia, will oppose his confirmation,
while Senator Brown will favor it. The
contest will be vigorous one, but we are
sorry to say that we fear Mr.. speer will
be confirmed.

Dynamite in Chicago.

CHICAGO, January 25.-A meeting Of
socialists was held this afternoon in this
city, at which those who spoke advoca-
ted the free use of dynamite and the in
discriminate taking of human life. A
negro woman, wife of rabid white
socialist, A. R. Parsons, presided. AL.
though the meeting bad been called to
talk over the situation of the unemployed
workingmen of the city, but little atten-
ton was paid to it, the main topic being
dynamite and the successful manner in
which it was used in London on Satur.
day.
Q. S. Griffin, the first speaker, in re.
ply to the argument that the use of dy.
Mantle led to the sacrifice of the inno-
cent, said it was necessary for the in
nocent to suffer in order to accomplish
good results. This explosion had dem
onstrated that the socialists could safely
20 into large congregations in broad
daylight, and explode their bombs. 1t
meant that the poor people were taking
an equal share in the affairs of the world.
When the opposition should realize this
fact, the old idea of equality would pre-
vail. The dynamite advertisement in
London meant death unless the world
were set free. A little hogs grease and
little nitric acid made terrible explo-
sion. Ten cents worth would blow
building to atoms. This statement was
received with great applause.
J. P. Dusey said that dynamite could
be made out of the dead bodies of the
capitalists as we'll as out of hogs, All
Chicago could be set abaze in minute
by electricity. What was the use of the
fools in Washington saying they were
the masters?
o. A. Bishop said there were FIVE
thousand mell in Chicago who knew how
to manufacture dynamite in their kitch-
ems for the price of good dinner.
Private property must Re abolished if
they had TO use all the dynamite there
>was and blow ninety y.nine hundreths of
the people off the face of the earth.
Mrs. Parsons, said she had often wanted
10 be man, but since she had heard
that it was a woman who had blown up
the parliament buildings in London, she
would not swap places with any man in
the country.
A. R. Parsons delivered long and
rambling address, in which be advocated
The use Of dynamite in unlimited guam
titles.

Col. A. K. Mcclure, the able editor of
the Philadelphia Times, who has been
travelling through the South for a short
time past, while en.route to the New
Orleans Exposition, was arrested as soon
as he reached New Orleans upon charge
of libel made against him by M. A.
DauphiD, the manager of the Louisiana
State Lottery, for articles published by
Col. Mcclure condemnipg the lottery.
His bail was fixed at 100000 which he
readily gave and was released. This ar
rest was an outrage, and the sentiment
of the people of the United States will
most strongly condemn the people Of
Louisiana if they do not secure ample
yindication to Col. Mcclure. The bet.
ter sentiment of the whole country is
against the Lottery Company and With

One of our Representatives, who has
attempted to evade the question as to how
hestood upon the Prohibition petitions, is
endeavoring to turn the discussion by
making personal criticism of the Editor
of the IN1ELIIaENcER. We have made
no personal issue, but will certainly not
decline it if any Representative wishes
to tender one. We are contending for q
principle, and no man can dwarf the
controversy by trying to give tia person.
al turn. The Representative in ques.
ton, is arraigned before his constituents
for having treated with contempt a
petition signed by a.large and influential
number of his constituents, and for hav-
ing usurped the right of the people by
refusing to allow the majority to govern
on this issue. The question is simply
guilty or not guilty? and the case
against him must be determined on the
facts as to these charges. There may be
charges against other people, but they
cannot have any effect in settling the
verdict in this case. The school-boy
argument, "you're another" will not do
here. It is q matter 10 be decided by
grown-up. intelligent men, aud our Rep
resentative cannot get out of his dilemma
by the puerile effort to traduce private
citizen. He is one of our Representatives,
and ne have the right to inquire into bis
public acts. He must settle this case, in
which the public are interested, before he
can afford to get into personal contro'
versy. Art thou guilty or not guilty of

DYNAMITE IN LONDON.

The destruction wrought by the dyna-
mite fends in London has aroused the
indignation and opposition of all right
thinking people, not only in the united
kingdom of Great Britain, but through.
out the civilized world. It is che act of
incarnate fiends, who are the enemies of
all honorable men. Vengeance upon
the government was doubtless the object
of the villains, but to wreak this by
destroying the parliament buildings they
risked the murder of men, women and
helpless children. 1t was the blackest
crime Of tie century, and the possibility
of its commission without any valuable
clue to its perpetrators, calls for union
of all governments in an active policy
of restrictive legislation by which both
the manufacture and the sale of nitro.
glyceriue and its compounds shall be
kept under such surveillance as to protect,
in some measure, the public from the
use OF these explosives to destroy human
life.
The London explosions may have been
the result of Fenian agitation, but we
hope not, for if the people of Ireland
sympathize with such dastardly methods
of agitation as this, they are unworthy
of the liberty they seek. We think
Euglands, treatment of Ireland has been
despotic and unjust, and we would bail
With pleasure the liberation of the green
island by any legitimate methods from
peaceful legislation to forcible revolution,
but no honest man can do otherwise than
detest and abhor alike the methods of
assassination and the perpetrators of such
crimes. The people of Ireland will do
themselves and their friends an injustice
if they do not repudiate the dynamiters
and their degraded methods.
Such crimes as this are not alone
crimes against the government in which
they occur, but they are alike crimes
against society itself. 1t is the method
of the reckless outcast and the unprinci-
pied free .booter against organized society.
Such deeds comrort with the character of
the Commune and the Nihilists, but they
can only draw down upon the perpetra.
tors and the cause in which they act
odium and detestation.
