THE PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION.
[From Harper's Weekly.

The action of the republican conven-
ton OF Pennsylvania is the most extra
ordinary action upon record OF an in
telligent body of American ireemen..
MIR. Quay is accused by some of the
most reputable journals in the country.
and the accusation is trebchantly urged
upon the country by one of the eminent
citizens of Pennsylvania as imperatlvely
demanding explanation, of criminslly
tanpering with the public money while
state officer. The charges are made
In detail. Figures and names and cir
cumstances are plainly mentioned. Mr..
QUAY is invited and defied to sue for
libel; he is taunted in terms as thief.
No honorable public man in our his
tory, not Washington himself, would
have allowed such charges SO made TO
pass absolutely unnoticed. When a
whisper of suspicion of official malfeas-
snce was bresihed against Alexander
Hamilton, then secretary of the treas
ury, he met il instantly and silenced 1t
forever, but at an unspeakable cost of
private feeling.
There is no doubt whatever that by
an immense number OF his fellow citi-
zens, including a very large part of the
members Of his own party, the charges
are believed as they are made. II un-
founded, nothing could be easier than
to disprove them, and 10 bring the
libellous papers to exemplary punish-
nent. amid the general applause OF the
country. But Mr.. Quay preserves an
unbroken silence. and the republicans
of Pennsylvania In their convention,
with entire unanimity and without
debate, declare their lasting gratitude,
respect and confidence Tor him as a
citizen and public officer, specifying
particularly his services in the Office in
which his dishonesty is alleged.
This abject abasement of conven-
tion to man under such circumstances
is entirely without precedent. Ii asks
and receives no explanation, and does
the will OF q party leader as passively
aud ignobly as Siamese courtier
crawls upon his stomach toward his
king. The declamations of such body
upon public questions are OF no impor-
tance whatever, because If Mr.. Quay,
under existing circumstances, Is its
type OF a publia officer to be trusted
aud spplauded. Il 10 indifferent 10 hon.

Who Wrote ltP

A gentleman sends to the Inter Ocean the
following beautiful lines written on the death
OF beautiful child and published IN the
Northwestern Churchman, little paper
printed In Chicago twenty five years ago
The poem il worth preserving and Is re pub
lished for that purpose:
Gone, in her childish purity,
Out from the POlden day;
Fading away In light so sweet.
Where the silvery stars and the sunbeam'
meet,
Paving u way for her waxed feet
Over the silent way.
Over the bosom ienderly
The pearl white hands are pressed.
The lashes lie on q cheek 80 thin,
Where tho softest blush OF the rose has been
Shutting the blue of her eyes within.
The pure lids closed in rest.
Over the sweet brow lovingly
TwIneth her sunny hair.
She was so frail that love sent down
From his heavenly gems that soft bright
crown,
To shade her brow with its waves SO brown
Light rs the dimpling air.
Gone to sleep with the tender smile
FrOZe on her silent lips.
BY the farewell kiss Of her dewy breath,
Cold in the clasp of the angel Desth.
Like the last iair bud OF a fading wreath
Whose bloom the white irOst nips.
ROse bud under your shady leaf,
Hid from the sunny day,
DO you miss the glance OF the eve so bright
Whose blue was heaven in Your timid sight
II is beamlng now In the world OF light
Over the starry way.

NEW STATES.
From Harper's Weekly.I

The admission OF the new states OF
Washington, Montana, and North and
South Dakota increases the republican
majority In the senate from two to ten.
The admission of Idaho and Wyoming
will increase il to fourteen, If these
six territorles had been democratic they
wouId not have been admitted. That
Ia a proposition which will not be cues
toned. The controlling consideration
of their admission, ana of giving an
equal vote in the senate with that of
New England aud New York TO SPARSE
ly peopled frontier communities, was
not the public welfare but party ad-
vantage. Admitting states to the union
should be regarded as an act of vital
national interest, aud not mere game
of party.

CHAINED FIFTEEN YEARS.
An Insane Woman Kept in Smoke House in
Pennsylvania.

An Insane Woman Kept in Smoke House in
Pennsylvania.
A tale of barbarous cruelty inflicted
upon an insane woman in Venango
county by her family was reported tc
the Pennsylvania state board of chart
ties by its committee on lunacy yes
terday. The case is more revolving
than that of George Young of the
same country, who was incarcerated
in chains for sixteen years. About
two weeks ago news reached Secretary
Henry w. Wetherill of the committee
on lunacy that Margaret J. Orr, a
congenital imbecile, was chained in q
smoke house at her home, Emlenton
Richfeld township, Venango county
Henry H, Culp, steward of the Venan'
go county aims house, offered oinves-
tigate the case. He went to the girls
home, and found that her brothers
were in charge of the house, the
{ mother and father being dead. In a
squalid, rickety smoke house adjoin-
ing the home the steward saw sick.
eningHsight. Around the waist of the
girl was leather belt, to which was
attached a chain seven feet long.
The other end OF the chain was fast
ened in the side of the smoke house.
The insane girl looked like an animal
and had scarcely any covering. She
was pale. thin, and her general ap-
pearance showed that she had not had
any outdoor exercise for long while.
The smoke house was without win
dows, had no heating apparatus, no
furniture and no means of ventilation.
On the ground floor was some straw
upon which the girl slept. At one
end of the smoke house was small
orifce. Through that the brothers
passed bits of food to the wretched
being.
Mr.. Culp learned from the brothers
that their sister was 40 years old, un-
married, and that she had been
chained in the smoke house for the
past fifteen years. After arguing
with the brothers the terrible cruelty
they were inficting upon their sister
Steward Culp obtained their consent
to her removal to the Warren county
insane asylum. Upon her removal
there few days ago Mr.. Culp sent a
report OF the case to the committee on

The Latest Waltz.

Quite a new method OF waltzing has
sprung up recently. The Boston
Courier says it is more. curious than
graceful, consisting of spring into
the air, a quickly executed double
shuttle, and another spring, the pro-
gress being repeated until exhaustion
ensues. 1t is very fine exercise for
warm evenings in crowded rooms, and
is found exceedingly conductive to
brilliant complexion. Much skill is
necessary to avoid rapid descent upon
partners toes, an accident not provo
cative OF good humor, and frequently
trying to the best manners.
This waltz will be in vague here in
the city this fall and winter and the
boys are now practicing jumping over
chairs, boxes and such things.

was silent regarding the Lodge bill,
and all or nearly all the prominent
Republicans of Texas have hereto
fore expressed themselves as opposed
to the measure, this resolution
is somewhat remarkable. Dur
ing the progress of the convention a
Republican OF considerable promi-
nence asserted that the Republicans
were doing more than others to build
up the State by inducing capital and
home seekers to come hither. Is it
not trifie strange that the Repub-
licans should be industriously seeking
to induce their Northern and Eastern
friends to migrate to land where
they will be subjected to outrage and
political persecution? Is it not a
trife strange that men who are strug
Cling to build up the State should pro-
claim to the world that here life and
property are unsafe; that in
"various parts of the State" the
shotgun dominates at the ballot
box? Is this resolution in har-
mony with the work done for the State
by the Texas delegation to the Grand
Army encampment at Boston? 1t is
claimed that the resolution was put
through in the. rush and hurry pre-
ceding adjournment, and that the
great body of the delegates knew
nothing of it until afterwards; that,
in fact, majority of them are unal-
terable opposed to it. Be that as it
may, it was passed, is a matter of
record, and has gone out to the world
to be used, not only as a campaign
document, not only to push the Lodge
bill or kindred measure through
congress, but to turn the tide of cap
ital and immigration that is setting
this way into other channels. The
resolution was not passed because the
bulk of the Republican party in Texas
favor the Lodge bill; it was not
passed because Republicans in any
portion of the State need the
protection of the National gov
eminent. 1t was rushed through by
little coterie anxious to curry favor
with the Federal administration by a
little clique anxious to ingratiate
itself with the National bosses by the
manufacture of a little campaign
thunder. 1t was dark lantern trick,
but, capitalists and home seekers OF
the North and East not understand
ing this, it will work incalculable
harm to the State unless the better
element in the party takes steps to
counterfeit it. This it should imme-
diately do. Republicans and demo-
Gratis who have the best interest of
Texas at heart are alike interested in
branding this gratuitous SANDER as
such. The good name of the State
and her material welfare should ever
be paramount to the interest of any
political party whatever.

heart responded to every call of SYM
pathy and distress.
Resolved, That we recognized in
Mr.. Joe H. Stewart, brave and
gallant soldier of the late Southern
Confederacy, Loyal friend and an
unselfsh donor to every man, woman
or child whose want or distress was
brought to his attention. That his
heart was in touch with the great
throbs of humanity and philanthropy,
that his impulses were noble and that
he was earnest and active in every
scheme to relieve distress and elevate
and ennoble his kind.
Resolved, That the Hood Camp of
Confederate veterans has lost one of its
founders and one of its best and eff
cient friends; that in his zeal to build
a home for disabled veterans he ex-
bibited his patriotism and care for
his old Confederate comrades and
that Texas has such a
home is largely attributable
to his zeal anda ctive effort in that be-
half in cooperation with his surviving
associates and comrades.
Resolved, That in all the relations
! of life our late comrade and friend
was governed by a high sense of duty,
AS soldier he was unwavering in the
discharge of his duty, and that when
peace proclaimed her sway over re-
united people his heart was large
enough to embrace the whole Union,
and that his voice advocated peace
and good will between the sections.
AS citizen he was progressive and
public spirited, and in the social rela.
tions of life he was cheerful, affection
ate and kind, genial and happy in his
disposition, and as friend he was
true and honorable. In the latter re-
spect we delight to remember him.
Resolved, That we sincerely sympa-
thize with his stricken wife and
children, and point them to "Him
who doeth all things well" for conso-
lation.
Resolved, That an engrossed copy
of these resolutions be sent to his
family, and that they be spread upon
the records of the John B. Hood Camp
of Confederate Veterans and copy
published in the Austin STATESMAN.
