Chambers McKibbin's death recalls the
line of heroic sons he gave to this country.
Joseph G. was one of the 10 adventurers
in California; where he remained until he
returned as Congressman in 1857, after
having served two terms in the California
Senate. He was the devoted friend of
Broderick; ran with him on the anti.La.
compton ticket in 1858, when both were
defeated, and he was Broderick's second
in the Terry duel in which Brodcrick was
killed. When the war broke out he vol
unteered at once, and rose to be Colonel
on the staff Of Rosecrans, and was one of
the conspicuous officers in the battles of
Stone River and Chickamuuga. He is yet
living in Washington and actively Ell
gagged in business.
General David b. was in the regular
army when the war began and started in
the strife as a captain, but he was soon
promoted to the command of a regiment,
later to brigade and was retired on ac-
count of wounds after reaching the rank of
brigadier-general. He died recently in
Washington from a cancer in the throat,
the same atliiction that conquered Grant.
Captain Robert was Law student
in Chambersburg when the war be.
gan and he was among the first
to volunteer. He soon rose to the
rank of captain, winning his pro-
motion by special gallantry, and was
among the severely wounded at Gettys-
burg. He was so highly appreciated as q
soldier that he was promoted to u cap
taincy in the regular army after the war,
and few years thereafter he died in
Texas.
Captain Chambers, the youngest of the
family, was boy hardly half through his
teens and serving as a suffers clerk on the
Peninsula when Mcclellan was attacked
and driven back to the James River.
When the sudden attack was made no
didn't bother about his goods, but picked
up the first dead mans musket he saw,
entered the ranks and fought until he fell
seriously wounded. He was promptly
promoted for his gallantry, and IS now
one Of the senior captains and one Of the
most respected officers of the Army. The
Roman Cornelia pointed to her chillrcn,
saying, These are my Jewels" and
Chambers McKibben could well point to
his warrior boys, saying, "These are my
heroes,n

INvEIGHING AGAINsrINTEMpERANcE



Editor Critic: There is commendablc
effort on the part of the labor organiza-
tions to secure the passage Of the Eight
hour Law bill before the close of the pres
ent session of Congress, and III the letter
to Senator Plumb, portions Of which were
published in the Star of the 25th, several
things are stated that certainly look fcasi.
BILE, and, viewed from workingman's
standpoint, must fput in practice result
i'll good to many who otherwise would
not secure such benefits under the present
system.
But there is another very important
question that | am sorry to see SO little
said about by labor organizations. That Is
the great detriment the liquor traffic is to
the happiness and well-being of the work
ingmen of the present day. The latest
figures estimating the loss to the country
is simply appalling, and 1t is stated thus
Loss TO labor by drinkers, 500, 900, ,000
loss of labor to non-drinkers in conse
quence, Si0,0O0,000: pauperism, -, ,0000 900;
insanity and disability, Sl7,000,000 crime,
S37 7,0CO,0OO sickness, S100,00O,000. And
yet very little is said by labor organza-
tions against this waste, and worse than
waste. While l am not charging this
waste to the working classes alone, yet
what lknow as workingman enables me
W suy tbht IL tiitlT snulc VI tulS WuSIt
was turned into the proper channels and
the portion of their wages that now goes
into the liquor dealers pocket was used
to make their families more comfortable
there would soon be a better state of
things.
Instead of allowing themselves to be
made tools of, and casting their votes for
the one that gives the most whisky, they
would play the man and Withdraw their
support from this monster of evil. In-
stead of having this country ruled by its
worst enemies, largely in the interest of
this pernicious traffic, they would cast
their votes for sober men who would dare
legislate in the interest of honest labor.
II would not be long before the working
classes could demand (not petition) OF
Congress the closing of the gates of Castle
Garden against the influx Of pauper labor.
Then the time would soon come when the
tramp would be missed from the road, the
aims house empty of its inmates, the jails
and pcnitcntianes deserted, the police dis
charged, and the petty lawyers that hang
around our police courts and fight for the
little bones thrown to them by the poverty
stricken victims of this rum iend would
find their occupation gone.

A Denial from stuart Robson.


MEMPHIS, Feb. 2I.--Telegrams were re-
ceived last night from New York, Chicago,
st. Louis and other cities, inquiring
whether there was any truth in the rumor
that Stuart Robson was engaged to be
married to Miss Waldron of his company.
Mr.. Robson, who is playing an engage
ment in this city, said last night; This
story has been started by some theatrical
scandal-monger. Ny wife has only been
dead eight months. / am old enough to
be Miss Waldron's grandfather. lido not
care us far as |, myself, am personally
concerned, but regret exceedingly these
false and malicious reports out of regard
for my daughters as well as Miss
Waldron's feelings. Miss Waldron is a
mere child as compared to myself. My
married life shows how dear to me was
my late wife. | desire you to deny eau
phatically the existence of any engage
ment between myself and Miss Waldron." !"

the French Government owed our
citizens certain amounts on ac-
count of seizures. deprcdations, etc.
These debts the French Government
promptly acknowledged and declared its
readiness to pay. The United States Gov
eminent, however was under pecuniary
obligations TO France, though on an en-
tirely different score, and proposed to the
latter to offset one claim with the other
and to assume the payment of the private
claims which France had acknowledged.
II was in violation of the Constitution to
take private property for the payment of
public debt, but Our Government did IL
and has ever since persisted in the outrage
by refusing to make restitution. The at
titude of the United States toward its
creditors is always and essentially dis
honest, but never before has this shame
ful delinquency been so Ilagrant or so
monstrous.

WHO rLRTED WITH THE PREACHER ?
A Remarkable Incident mt a Covcnanter
Church Gathering.

Special 10 he Neio FORK World.
KINGSTON, n. ". Feb. 27.-Thc Rev.
Mr.. Miligan of Pennsylvania, who is
candidate for the pastorate of the Cow
ennnter Church in the little hamlet Of
Coldenham, in Orange County, and who
was invited to deliver trial sermon there
last Sunday, startled the congregation in
the midst of the delivery of the sermon
by saving:
II regret to state that am an exceed
ingly nervous man, and am annoyed by
young lady in the congregation who has
been endeavoring to flirt with me this
morning. have neither the time nor in
clnation to return the compliment at this
time, but may do so later"
These words fell like thunderbolt upon
the Covenanters, more especially as this
departure from theology was made while
the eyes of the pastor were steadfastly
fixed on those of bl,ishing young lady,
who is noted for her good looks and is re-
garded as the belle of Coldenham.
When the services were finished there
was lively bustlng of dresses down the
church aisles and out into the country
road and more than one fair Coldcnham
damsel was willing to accept the pastors
rebuke as n personal allusion. Neverthe-
less the episode has had tendency TO
popuarizc Pastor Milligan, aud the
chances point toward his becoming the
permanent preacher at the little Orange
County Covenanter Church.

IT WILL INTEREST the colored people to
bridge, Westchester County, n. ", over
the marriage of ELLA TIcE, white, and
JAMES RANDOLPH, colored. Our colored
friends are constantly assured that the
south is consumed by hatred and preju-
dice toward them, and that only in the
Northern States can they find justice. 1t
appears, however, that this beautiful and
heavenly quality gets very vigorously
strained when the colored people make a
requisition for it. In fact, there is more
real, able-bodied, savage prejudice against
the negro personally to one square inch of
the North than to any given square
mile of the South. The Southern people
are not willing to have the negroes con-
duct their local governments. The latter
had, until 1865, lived among them rs
slaves for centuries, and they do not think
twenty-five years time enough to fit them
for the responsibilities of government. It
is safe to say that the whites of the North
share this feeling in equal force and
would rebel with even greater violence
against an arrangement of the same sort.
so far the North and the South are IN
perfect sympathy. But when it comes to
n question of the colored man himself,
does any intelligent human being doubt
that the South likes him better than
The North does? Not one, we solemnly
believe. The South knows what the
North does not-that the negro is faithful,
amiable, affectionate and kind-hearted.
Southern people are used to the colored
folks, understand them, retain grateful
recollection of their fidelity during the
war, and are bound to them by associa-
tions reaching back to infancy. No one
ever saw negro starving in Southern
community. No one ever saw o negro
suffering for want of medicine or human
care or friendly ministration. No one
ever will. And when colored man
living South is in trouble OF any
kind, in need of help or counsel
OF sympathy, he turns by instinct to hi,
white neighbor and he is never disap-
pointed. But JAMES RANDOLPH, the young
colored man who married Miss ELLA TIcE,
white, at williamsburg last week, is not
finding mucha aid or countenance or tolera-
lion from his Northern neighbors Just
now. The village is in ferment. He is
threatened with tar and feathers and other
forms Of violence. 1t is said in the Herald
report of to-day that he has been discharged
by his wealthy employer and that he was
not allowed to attend his church last
night. The inhabitants swear that he
shall not live there and, in brief, he could
not be more bitterly denounced and saw
agely prosecuted If he had violated every
injunction of the decalogue. These facts
are worth looking into by those who are
SO fond of asserting that the Southern
whites are cruel and intolerant, and by
those colored people who are so foolish as
to believe it.
