A WILD Texas steer sauntered down
Chestnut street, Philadelphia, and made
things lively there until he received his
Quietus from the policemen's revolvers.
The Philadelphia papers editorially de-
nounce the steers proceedings, which, as
the owner has not appeared to claim his de-
funct property, is the only object that can
be reached. Your true Quaker City citizen
hates to have his serenity disturbed; and
when it is done by the horns of a perni-
ciously active Texas steer, we cannot blame.

War. He organized Company |. of the Thirtieth
Indiana Infantry. and went into the late war with it
as First Lieutenant. He captured at Cbicka-
Inauga and taken to Libby Prison. His life there
and the hardships attending his escape shattered
his health, and notes in his manuscripts indicate
that death was not unwelcome. He had been for
some time preparing sketch of his prison life,
but falling health forced him to abandon 1t. Cap

An Entertainment for the Benefit of cay
Hurseries-Ths Social Gossip.
Among the excellent beneflcent societies
in Allegheny, special praise should be given
to the "Day Nurseries, of which. there are
three in the city. They have been estab-
lished by ladies in Allegheny and Pittsburg
for the benefit of mothers who have to
leave their children while they work by the
day, and who have to trust them to the ten
der mercies of neighbors to young children,
or without any care at all, but for these
nurseries. The charge for caring for the
little ones is nominal-only 10 cents per day,
with cents for each additional child of the
same family. For this, three meals are
given, and the children are washed and
given as much attention as thev would re-
ceive from their mothers-more, in some in
stances. Children under 6years of age re-
ceive one hours instruction in the morning
and one in the afternoon. When they are
over 6 they are sent to the public schools.

Society is to give entertainment for the
benefit of the nurseries, that is expected
to be unique as well as entertaining. The
children will wear colonial costumes, and
adults will be attired also in the dress that
obtained when George Washington was
fighting for American liberty. Prepara-
tions have already commenced, and the
ladies anticipate q successful occasion,
financially as well as artistically.
THE ladies' committee of the Hospital
Saturday and Sunday Association met yes

lections from different sources. The sums
received from the public schools netted $500.
The amount from the seven extra churches

Hon. Sylvester Pennoyer, the present
governor Of the state Of Oregon, elected
a. q Democrat, has written the following
for the the press:
"The wonderful shaking Of dry bones,
and the more wonderful appearance Of
that exceeding great army which the
prophet Of the Almighty beheld about
twenty-five centuries ago, after the soft
breath Of the four winds had passed over
the open valley which lay at his feet,
have almost been rivalled by the sudden
appearance Of q new party within the
national political arena; with this differ

bones did not preCede, but will follow
its advent. It ls an instructive study,
not, however, embraced In the purpose
Of this article, to trace the origin and

terest into prominence; and yet neither
party has had the courage to voice the
public conscience upon such questions,
while both parties, with ears deaf TO the
popular demand, have been labOriously
engaged in their old and tiresome game
Of battledoOr and shuttlecOck upon the
the tariff.
There has been popular demand for
an income tax, heretofore almost unwrit-
ten and unspoken, and yet as widespread
as the national limits and as universally
entertained among the masses Of the
people as is the demand for right, for the
reason that there Is not one single citizen
Of this republic whose sense Of justice
does not impel him to declare that the
wealth Of the country, now entirely ex-
empted from taxation by the federal gov
ernment, should bear its just proportion
of the public burden. And there has
been equally as strong protest against
the fragrant injustice Of our financial
policy by which a favored class, enriched
at the peoples expense by the operation
Of statute laws, has been allowed, unre-
strlcted by law, to use its ill-gotten
wealth to still further fatten upon the
public. Both the demand and the pro-
test have been entirely unheeded by the
present political parties, and hence the
new organization.
There have been, are now, several
otoer governmental abuses and derelic-
tlons for which the two old parties are
responsible. Among them are the grant
ing to private corporations the loan OF
millions of money and vast empires OF
land for the building OF railroads, which,
when built, are permitted to exact excee-
sive charges from the people; the usurps-
tiOn OF a governmental function by private
corporation In the transmission of intelli-
gence without restrictions Of law upon Its
charges against the government itself, as
well as against the people; the usurped
interference by the federal judiciary
within the states with their laws and
tribunals; the depreciation OF one OF the
precious metals and the denial Of It's free
coinage by Congress, thus imposing an
unexpected hardship upon the states, to
which under the constitution is denied
the privilege, while they are restricted, at
the same time, to the use of gold and
silver aS legal tender; but far above any
Of these in importance are the entire
exemption of part of the wealth OF the
country, as such, from federal taxation,
which can be remedied by the imposi-
tion Of graduated income tax, and the
faulty and almost criminal financial
policy Of the government, through which
the wealth of our people has been trans
ferred from the pockets Of the many to
the vaults of the few, and the federal
treasury controlled and used In the In
terest of bondholders and stock jobberS.
The present financial system OF the gov
eminent Is the worst Of existing national
abuses, and to remedy this Is justly the
rAllying cry Of the new political party.
at is, indeed, most probable IL the

for new political party in our govern
ment at this time? The answer Is plaiE
and It it will spring simultaneously from
the lips Of every honest man. There Is
necessity for new political party il there
be fragrant governmental abuse which il
unnoticed and popular demands for jus
tice which are unheeded by the existing
political organizations. Are there such!
Let The records answer.
'"The existing political organizations
have been engaged for several years In
chlvalrlC contest over the per cent. Of
tariff taxes which should be laid upon
certain articles Of import, and attention
has been closely Eiveted TO such warfare
having thereby been adrOitly led away
from the consideration of much grayel
abuses.
ain the last presidential canvas, fol
instance, the discussion was cunningly
confined to the tariff, while other abuses
tenfold more baneful in their results
upon the national prosperity, were en-
tlrely unnotiCed. Neither party opposed
the inequitable tariff system Itself, the
most unjust and unequSled mode OF taxa
ton ever devised by the ingenuity Of man,
and neither psrty opposed that most per-
niclous adjustment of the system by
which the great masses of the people are
taxed, by the levy Of protective duties,
for the benefit of one or more particular
industries. Both parties were pledged to
the tariff system and it's protective fea-
ture; the one by It's record and It's plat
form, and the other by the bill then
pending in Congress. The sole issue
which engaged the attention Of great
nation Of more than sixty millions OF
people was whether, In the distribution
OF fsvors by protective tariff, the pro-
ducer should share in the spolls with the
manufacturer; one party claiming that
the robbery Of the consuming public BY
the tariff should be shared by the pro
ducer as well as the manufacturer, while
the other party claimed that public inter
est demanded that such robbery In be-
half Of the producer should cease, and
ID
that it should be sanctioned alone for the
benefit OF the manufacturer.
And thus the ability Of our statesmen
and the attention Of our people were cen
tered exclusively upon the particular
amount Of the mint, anise, and cummir
extorted by tariff taxation from the over
burdened taxpayer that should 90 to thu
government and upon the particula
amount that should go 10 the favored In

clous tariff system itself, as well as

The great cormorants Of aggrandizeC

are now preying upon the very vitals o
all Of the industries Of our national com

when public attention can thus be di
veEted from their wholesale plunder o
our people to the far smaller plumber In

our people, and calculated 10 place the
business of the country within the control
of Consecrated money power and above
the laws and will of the peoples" ''that the
separation of the money of the government
from banking institutions is indispensable
for the safety of the funds and the rights of
the people,"
"Thus 1t will be seen that if that party
had adhered to the faith Of its founders
il would have answered the widespread
demand for the sbrogation of the present
financial policy of the government, and
II, In obedience to It's instincts, It had
moved forward, defiant as Of yore, of the
money power, in support Of the fiscal
system now demanded by justice, reason,
and the popular will, of basing the re-
quired paper currency of the country
upon Its tangible and imperishable real
property, for the benefit Of the many, in
stead of on the national indebtedness, for
the enrichment of the few, it would be
to-day what it was for more than half
century of its existence-the faithful
tribune Of the whole people.
"lt is upon the trend of Its financial
policy mainly that the new party re-
spends to the necessity Of the times and
complies with the demands of the people,
and it is therefore of the most urgent i'm
portance that such policy should be en-
tirely unassailable both to its justice and
it's practical operation. The demand for
an entire change in fiscal system Of gov
ernment Is widespread. It has been
occasioned by the Asgrant injustice OF
the present system, and by the impover-
ishment Of the many for the enrichment
of the few, which is the legitimate result
Of its operations.
"The mutteringS of discomfort, although
heretofore disregarded, have been uni
versal. They could find no expression In
the platform of any existing political
party, and therefore have been condemned
as we'll as unheeded. These mutterings
have at length found voice in new poll
tical organization, and their long pent-up
expression will undoubtedly be the great
slogan of the coming presidential con-
test. Hence 1t is Of the most vital concern
to the party itself, as we'll as to the peO-
pie whose interest it would subserve,
that its financial policy should be one
that can be defended upon the ground OF
justice, of public necessity, and OF busi-
ness principles. If such policy can be
formulated, the your G stripping Of party
will win to It's following the honest.
hearted yeomanry of the whole country,
and may achieve political victory un-
rivalled in this country for more than
half century past.
ain the first place, therefore, the cur
rency which is proposed to be issued
should be based upon perfectly secure
and imperishAble foundation and should
be legal tender for all debts, public and
and private. Such q basis can only be
furnished by the real properly Of the
country. To accept personal security, or
any other security than the improved
real estate of the country, would be to
hazard the loan, which the government
in the interest of the whole people, poor
as we'll as rich, cannot justly do. There
can be no better or safer security for gov
