Should Congress Vote Money for New
American Navy2

Unquestionably it should. In our
opinion it is the plain duty of the pre-
sent House, in appropriating money
for naval purposes during the next fis-
cal year, to vote reasonable yet sufii-
cient sum for beginning the work that
must be undertaken without delay il
our coasts and seaport towns are
net to be left absolutely defence
less.
The duty and the responsibility be-
long to this Congress There is no
probability of an extra session of the
Forty.ninth House. Unless some pro-
vision is made before the fourth of
March, the question of our future
naval policy will &C over until next
winter, and one year will have been
lost
For the first time since Robeson's
career began, the matter of national
defence against possible foreign ag-
gression passes within the limits of
honest politics. Nine weeks hence
Chandler goes out. With him 90 John
Roach and his lobby. With him goes
the Naval Ring. With him goes the
whole Infamous machinery of corrupt
and prohigate administration which for
sixteen years has disgraced this coun-
try, wasted its millions, and destroyed
its fleet, The failure of Mr.. Chand-
lers representatives in the Senate to
force upon the Democrats of the House
the last wishes of the expiring gang
marks the date at which the conditions
are totally changed, so far as the Dem.
ocratic majority in the House ID con-
cerned. We dwell upon this point be-
cause the change in the conditions is so
abrupt and so vitally important in its
bearings upon future policy that those
who for years have fought fraud in the
Navy Department might almost be
pardoned for refusing to believe that
news so good can be true. Money for
the navy Is nc longer money for the
old Ring. Every dollar of the appro
priations voted for the next fiscal yeal
will be expended by new administra
ton. If the Democratic party in pow
er does its duty, every dollar will bf
expended honestly Robesonism dis
appears on March 4, 1885; and let US
hope that the second generation o.
Robesons and Reaches is still un
born.
Reasonable provision. therefore
should be made by this Congress fo
beginning as soon as possible the worl
of reestablishing the navy which ras
cal Republicans have stolen off of tn,
seas. But nothing should be built upoi
foundations laid by the department a.
now organized. Mr.. Chandler's so
called Advisory Board must not b,
called in to direct the action of Mr.
l Cleveland's Secretary. The Jobs o
the past and of the present must no
, be carried over into the future. Th
wishes of the monitor men, the cruise
theorists, the dispatch boat conspira
; tors, and the bureau chleftains of tn
r old Robesonian guard need not be con
suited in drawing the plans of nev
3 and efficient navy, to be CONSTRUCTED
7 honestly under Democratic administra
! tion.-N y San

Beeoher Won't Take it Back.
HE SAYS HE WILL GO If Ills CONGREGA-
TIoN DON'T WANT HIM.

New YORK, Dec. 2S.--Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher after he had concluded
his sermon in Plymouth church today,
touched upon the dissatisfau, ion which
existed among some of his congrega-
ton, caused by his action in the late
campaign. He alluded to his forty
years pastorate and said that he never
mixed politics with his theology in the
pulpit. He said he did not know how far
the trouble had spread but only learned
it from newspapers.
Ii there were any pew holders of
Tended he did not know them. lie
said that his congregation should have
had confidence enough in him to not
have taken an impetuous speech max.
ing special plea and distort its appli.
cation. As far as his political judg
ment and endeavors were concerned.
he looked upon them with unfeigned
admiration. If there were mistakes
and errors, he was sorry for them and
apologized. He did not want any dis
satisfied person to sneak away. Lei
him come to Beechers face and tell hin
he is dissatisfied and Beecher would
bless him.
In relation to the pew rents, he die
not care il they were diminished. HI
had lived on salary Of 81 800 wher
he first became pastor and If necessary
he could live upon it now. If there
was majority in the church, or &
strong minority, who no longer wanted
him he would go. If great majority
wished him to stay he would die with
them and nothing would drive hin
away, If he stayed the congregation
would have to receive him, not on {
pitchfork, but in the palms of theil
hands.

TIE LATrERs OUTLOOK FOR RE ELECTION
GLOOMY AN OLD SCORE TO
RE SETTLED.

Illinois Democrats in Washington
are greatly ctr,,ed over the news that
comes to them regarding the Senator
ial election in that State. They pro
fess 10 bel, We that Logan's successor
will certainly he Democrat, and will
probably be William +. Morrison
Information has been received that
Logan cannot possibly get the vote OF
Dan Hogan, Republican State Sen
a or from the Mound City district.
Hogan was candidate for Internal
Revenue Assessor, n few years ago,
and was beaten by Logan He is re-
ported as saying that his turn to get
square has come. and he proposes to
stay out of the Republican caucus i an
attempt is made to rcnoninate Logan.
Hogan will not vote for Democrat,
but his absence will enable the Demo.
Gratis to win.
Senator Logan has very little con.
fdence in his own reelection, and it Is
said to be his intention to return tc
the practice of the law in Chicago fol
two years, and then come to Congress
as representative from the First dis

Next August candidate for sheriff
of this county will be nominated by the
Democrats There are already several
candidates in the field, aud we are glad
to announce that an agreement has
been made between some OF them that
they will! not canvass the county for
votes, but will make their announce
ments through the ne wspapers. There
will be other applicants, no doubt, and
there may be some who will not enter
into this arrangement. Whoever they
may be, the Democratic party should
see that the candidate is chosen from
among those who stay at home. 1t is
high time the electioneering system so
long practiced here, should be aban-
doDed. No man can afford to take the
office of sheriff, if he is to be compelled
to spend two or three months in trav-
elling over the county, even though he
use no money except for necessary ex.
penses. The fees of the office will not
warrant such an outlay Of time and
cash. And no man ought to have 1t
who will spend money in debauching
voters who can be influenced by lib.
eral supply of liquor. No ones inter
ests will suffer if all candidates will
agree not to travel. The people are
growing very tired Of being button
holed three or four times day by as
pirants for office, and no one will grum
BILE at the stay-at- home system except
the bummers who habtually hang
about the hotels during every campaign
for the purpose of squeezing drinks
or perhaps little loose change, out o.
the pockets of candidates. The ex
pertinent is worth trying at all events
and will meet with the hearty approva
of the better class of citizens through
out the county.

A Petrifed Body Pound.

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 27.-James b.
Fry, of Fulton township, this county,
while digging recently in allow, marshy
place on his farm, discovered a petrified
human body. The petrifaction is so
perfect that the skull plainly shows
fracture, as if made by heavy weap-

disappearance of drover many years
ago, and it is believed that the petritied
body is his remains.

trade is over. The merry
whirl at Christmas ends the
long-drawn work and worry
Of tedious 'S4.
The year has been pecu-
liar. There's instruction to
be got from its flight. Let's
look for it.
To begin with, there was
no sign of extraordinary
depression a year ago; but
the pace of general trade
was visibly slow. Anticipat-
ing some decline in prices
we sold enormously in Janu-
airy at whatever things would
bring, some without profit,
some at a rate little short Of
the comical.
Having sold we bought as
freely, and gained a season.
We sold what belonged to the
hurrying winter, and bought
what belonged to the coming
spring. The hardness of
selling made buying easy;
and again we sold in a way
to keep trade moving. Sum-
mer found US with trade en-
larged though profits di-
minished.
Again we had our choice,
to go on or slacken pace.
The times were still more
critical. Merchants were
failing; goods were falling
buyers Of all sorts tax
ing alarm, economizing, buy
ing less, though at advanta-
geous prices. Again we
overran Europe. But the
sword of Damocles was
hanging over us. We
bought with caution and
made your money go as far
as we could.
Xour money we say ad-
visedly. Xonr money at
last has paid the bills.
We need not go over thc
tale of TIE last half year
In the midst Of your Christ
mas revcl you scarcely care
to stop to weigh our share in
bringing about the present
abundance, But what We
have done is SO apart from,
The usual course of business
that we are disposed to think
1t over; and, because our
future concerns you about
as much as ourselves, and
because we look to you for
it, we are doing a part OF
our drinking aload.
The year that is past has
been a year of hardship in
general but for us, on the
whole, a year of success,
September was the first
month in which our sales
ever fell short of the sales
of the previous year. Oc-
tober ard November were
losing months. December
is evidently going to turn out
a gain. And, so little the
autumn losses were, the year
on the whole is a gain,
Every one of you almost
says 10 himself Il have spen,
less money this year how
can Wanamaker have pos,
S bly, sold more goods than
ever before?' The ques-
ton is worth our answer
and our answer shall be
worth your hearing,
More people have come

fall in buying are more thfn
made good by the number
Of buyers. The number of
buyers, of course, depends
on what we give for dollar
We have given more than
ever; and SO more buyers
have come. Besides, the
natural result Of our liberal
policy is to increase the area
of trade. Why shouldn'e
our trade increase, even
though money go up and
goods go down?
What next?
Just now a little rest. We
need it. Our faithful people
need it. The time invites to
rest. But shortly a new
year begins. We've got to
consider how to begin it.
That is what we are thinking
about.
Are the times any easier'
Is money easier to get? Ale
there people still within trad
ing distance to win? Is
there a better way to win
than by money, when money
is dear?
We do not know how
prices are going to rule, nor
how the times are going to
be. We think bottom is
reached in everything, except
now and then a minor tum-
bic. Probably times will
slowly mend. No general
change for the better will
suddenly come; for caution
always lasts beyond the spe-
cial occasion for it.
Let us count, then, on
money hard to get, and prices
too low for profit; on your
present wants; on winter
finally come to enforce a
present supply; on spring
and summer to follow with
wants of their own. We
may count on merchants in
city and country hanging on
to their profits and goods.
We may count on your find
ing out for yourselves from
day to day where your ad.
vantage lies.
So all we have to do is
to make your advantage
steadily here, steadily here,
week in and week out, make
your advantage steadily here;
and aoe shall add 10 the Hadc
70e haze aOon.
Our tactics then, till trad-
is brighter, are to keep on
just as we are.
We are gathering trade
for the future.
We are keeping old good
will and gaining new. We
are changing our stock with
every passing season. We
are ready with latest goods
Ior the better time a-cominG,
as ready as if we we're max
ing money; our facilities are
all in use and therefore ready
for use; and best Of all, our
habit OF large success has all
the tenacity and force that
continuous, long indulgence
gives,
We a'e going to keep on
getting togetAer tile 6estm The
