A HOSPITAL NEEDED.

Before our ommcrce reached IFS
present huge proportions, we had III
our midst a marine hospital, and il
was seldom without Inmates, but, I'M
fortunately, for political reasons, the
manage ment of it was changed aud
1t fell into the hands of those who
we're not Trustworthy, or some wholly
incompetent TO take charge of it, and
the result WAS that The marine Off
cials discontinued it and what little
there was left OF il was carried TO
Mobile. Now, it a sick or disabled
seaman is landed on our coast he has
to be sent to Mobile or New Orleans.
II he should he pennilcss, which is al
most sure TO be, aud unable to pay his
passage TO either OF these places, he
is either liaole to slarve, or die of ex-
posture, or become a tax on the kind
ly and literally disposed people of the
place. This is not AS it should be.
The marine hospital fund is full TO
overlooking, and why cannot a por-
ton of it be spent in this place,
where there is so much need of il?
Our people are always chariIably in
cliucd, but they cannot afford to take
INTO their families and treat every
sick or disabled anna or stranger
that is thrown upon them, particular
~ when they know that they should
be cared for out of The funds on hand
for that purpose. We have no insti-
tuition of the kind on the whole Mis-
coast. But why we have not
is hard to tell, unless IL is from pure
neglect, which we would not like To
admit. What say you, one and all,
about putting our shoulders to the
and seeing what can be done
to bring about the building of a ma
rIne hospital at this place?

An lMpuRE PuRlrAN.

Emerson the wise, pure and good phil.
osopher, said that no man could teach a
young girl behavior. she is inately limo
cent, sweet and altogether lovely.
Girls carefully and tenderly reared are
person ifcations Of purity.
Boys brought up among such girls with
equal care of more robust kind have all
the respect and love for their mothers
and sisters that distinguished the knights
of the age Of ehivalry. The one class is
too honorable to hRrbor an impure
thought, the other too innocent to be
conscious Of one.
Ii is of such girls and boys that the
Kirmess dances are composed, and yet
the Morning News prints, under the
thin disguise Of Josiah Puritan, this
shameful and unwarranted indictment
and innuendo;
Men and women clasped in each others
embrace went around and around to the
music Married men, with devoted wives
and sleeping infants at home, with thor
arms around fair young girls, who sub
mitted without blush of shame. Men
who were not married and women who
we're not married, girls who ought to
have be at home and boys taking this
first step in social license, all indulging
In what | will presume TO call the
American dances.
In the first place, it Is not true that
they were Sin each others embrace
The support that two dancers give
each other, is no more an embrace" in
spirit or ia effect, thqn the deforential
assistance which man offers to his
weak and infrm mother, to his aged
father, or the gallant tenderness with
which he escorts girl to church at
night.
The man who saw anything beyond
that gallantry and necessary support in
the Kirmess dances carried 1t there in
his own false, impure and unholy mind
He wrote from his thoughts and not
from his senses He did not see any
thing not true, graceful, beautiful and
good. He made a shameless and un-
truthful Indictment with his pen, under
disguised name, against tho purity and
innocence Of young girls and honorable
men which be would not dare to speak in
the presence Of manly man.
There is nothing impure In the Kirmeas
dances; the impurity was in the Purl-
tan's mind and in his letter

That Is as vulgar as it is untruthful
But it serves to show to what low tone
the practical politicians OF Pennsylvania
have depressed the Republican party
1t is one part sneer and one part lie,
mixed in a cup Of malice to an unwhole.
some compound Of vituperation.
1t is shameless that d respectable
jonrnal-the only one now representing
the Republican party in its present
position in the city Of Philadelphia
cannot at least be dignifed and truth
full. This item is neither,
During the late unpleasantness Mr..
Bayard's position was shat Of sensible
and conservative man and patriot. He
did no. agree with the blood thirsty
abolitionists, who were anxious TO com
init robbery arson and murder TO bestcw
freedom on Christianized slaves, but lately
emerged from savagery and cannihalism.
No matter how great an evil slavery
was he would not have babe others to
stand the loss OF property and bear the
whole blame Of slavery, that the
country was equally responsible
for, or take the dreadful alternative Of
war. he did not agree with the rabid
secessionists who said that the election
of Lincoln was an endorsement of the
John Brown infamy and tantamount 3
declaration OF war.
Mr., BaYard was just, generous, con-
sentative and patriotic. He would have
ayerted war and emanclpated the slaves
by holy and peaceful methods. He
would have done good thing in good
way, not rad thing in the worst pos
sible wsy.
He was not bloody, unthinh ing. reck
less Of life, Of property, and OF vested
institutions with one party, or hot
headed, independent and impulslve will
the other he was neither a fool nor /
hypocrite; he is not now, and he nevel
will be.
He is ? statesman.
Everybody recognizes now, what Mr.
Bayard knew then, that the slaves eoul,
have been emancipated by peaceful, JUS
and advantageous methods. Everybod
recognizes now, what he knew then
that war was barbarous, costly, crue
and unnecessary-the resort of fools
fanatics and generally reckless, mis-
guided men.
Mr.. Bayard stood between the tw
extremes of political frenz ~ and retalia
/ tory and apprehensive indignation. H
f stood where all wise, kindly, good an
, patriotic men stand now.
/ Il is, ofcourse, too late now to revers
{ the past, but wise and good men 0

SENATOR GRAY would wipe out from
our statute books the whole chapter
concerning the elective franchise aud
trust TO the civic virtues and courage
and manhood and honesty Of free
people to perform this great function. {"
That reads nice on paper, but 1t would
not do in practical politics. Chester
Times.
Not as practiced in Pennsylvania and
Indiana by the Republicans, but Senator
Gray means Jeifersonian, pure, Demo-
cratic politics, such as the republican
form Of government demands, not
such an anomalous class legis-
lative era as inaugurated BY the
Republican party, which is
neither a monarchy nor popular
government Senator Gray advocates
the principles on which this scheme o.
government was founded--a government
Of the people, by the people, for tn,
people. The Republicans would turn II
into an anomaly Of government Of til,
Office holding class for the benefit Of Thu
manufacturers in which the people are
minor consideration and entitled to only
what they could obtain by hard fighting
and nothing at all If they do not fghf
hard for it. Senator Gray believes thaf
the people are capable Of lf-government
and that they should not be deprived O
it because Of the exigencies Of the Repub
lican party. In short Senator Gray is
scholar, statesman and patriot-not
narrow spoils-hunting Republican politi
clan. There is world Of difference be
tween the two.

JUST as has been intimated the Bacon

expenses Of the committee were

In fact they began the cry Of ''stop thief

suspected that they knew more about
theivery than they were willing to tell

suspicion against the men who could do
the ugly work that was done by that
committee and that suspicion will remain
till the books are examined to ascertain
just what they did with the money re-
ceived from Tunnel and others. The
receipt states that it was $4,000 but the
explanation published by the Milford

held its tenth annual reception in its
armory in the Masonic Temple last sven.
ing The reception was a decided sus-
cess and reflects great credit on the com
mittee which carried it through.
Nearly all the members Of the
company were present and at s 80
o'clock they formed in line for a
full-dress drill under Captain William
Condor. The drill was excsllenuy per
formed, and the company won many
plaudits from its admirers. The
company drilled for nearly an hour, and
as soon as II had finished the grand
march began. Refreshments were
served at late hour. Corporal Michael
Golden won the gold medal for being the
best drilled man in the company.
