A CHAPTER FORMED AT Mt. YER
MONA number of ladies of this city
on Saturday last went to Mt. Vernon
for the purpose of organizing a new
chapter of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, to be known as the
Mount Vernon Chapter. BY many
this will be considered one of, II not
the most honorable of ali the chapters
OF this society, as its sixteen charter
members are representatives OF those
otthe highest social as we'll as military
distinction in revolutionary annals,
such as Washington, Lee, Powell, JET
i,erson, Simms, Marshall, Mason, Sell
den, &c. Miss Hetzel, of Fairfax coun-
y. was chosen presiding officer, and
Miss Rebecca Powell, historian. No
other officers or members beyond the
sixteen originators were elected, as the
society was incorporated rather hur-
aedly to forestall an intention on the
part Of the enterprising city of Chicago
10 send delegation to Mount Vernon
10 usurp privilege to which the ladies
above named considered themselves
most Justly entitled.

THE PHILLIPS CAsE.-As has hereto
fore been surmised in the GAZETTE, it
is not generally believed that Jefferson
Phillips, whose term of Imprisonment
in the penitentiary has been fixed at
eight years for killing George S. Smith,
will ask for a new trial. Mr. Brent,
one of his counsel, called on him Il is
morning and asked him what he pro-
posed doing. Phillips informed Mr..
Brent that he would impart to him his
intentions Monday. The convicted
man will probably be brought into the
Corporation Court early next week,
when the formal sentence will be pro-
nounced, and a few days later he
will be taken to the pcnitentiary.

DEATH oE DIR. ANTHONY MCLEAN.
This weli-knowned and esteemed gen.
tleman, whose critical illness has been
noticed in the GAZETTE, died at his
residence in Fairfax county to-day.
Mr.. Mclean for many years was
familiar figure in Alexandria, having
for long time been Auditor of the

years ago, after a long and useful
life of close application to business, he
concluded to spend the evening of his
allotted days in quiet home, and re-
moved to Iona, in Fairfax county, a
short distance below this city. Mr.. Nc
Lean was a gentleman ofthe old school,
kind, courteous and friendly. He was
for years vestryman of st. Paul's
church, and lived as q consistent
christian, finishing his course with a
conscience void Of otiense toward God
and toward man. He was in his SD

Condemns Vaerancy Laws,

TOPEKA, Dec 5.-Governor Lewelling
rose from sick bed today in opposition
to the advice of his physicians and this
afternoon sprung a highly sensational
document in the shape of an executive
circular addressed to all the boards Of
metropolitan police commissioners. The
letter is of about 1900 words and in
very fowery language pictures the dis
trets existing in the United States and
Europe, all leading up to an order from
the governor to the police boards to ar
rest no tramps on the charges usually
brought against this class; namely, rid
ing on freight cars, vagrancy, begging,
etc. The governor says the ordinances
filming tramps and compelling them to
work on rock piles are unconstitutional
and opposed to liberties guaranteed by
that instrument.
He declares that the tramp is arrested
and made municipal slaves" that the
fines cannot be paid, and the tramps are
put onto rock piles and into bull pens;
that these are merely instruments to OPP
press the poor and unfortunate.

hundred hundred Millions maybe, altogether

Sixty millions of people, the most ac-

and want the law to compel the other fellow to

Il believe that every ounce of silver that is

81 do not think the few should have the
right to combine to increase the value of what
people call money as against the debtor and in
favor OF the creditor. I want the free coinage of
all the silver that you win from the mines of
America, and if foreign countries do not want our
silver we will not trade with them.

Il said l would say one or two words to-
night such vulgar things as gold and silver. l
am as satisfied as am that I live, that the few
the few who control the debts, the currency,
the money of the world-have combined, either
consciously or unconsciously, to make the debtor
pay more than the creditor has a right to ask.
1.-The tendency has always been in this
world to put the burdens upon those least able
to bear them. In barbarian countries the women
have to do the work simply because they are the
weaker-that is all And the Others being the
stronger, do not expend their strength in work
ing, but exPend their strength in making the
weaker do their work.
This is precisely the in civil
lied society today. Between the rich and the
poor, if the burden is to be borne in this coun-
try it is borne by the Poor-always.
They are the first to suffer. Let the blast
of war blow in this country, who goes to the war?
Who goes to the front? The millionaires? Not,
one. Who goes? The great presidents of cor
porations? The bankers? The men who preside
over great vaults OF gold? Not much! The poor
go because nine times out of ten the poorer the
man is the more patriotic. The poor bear the
burdens of this country and of this world.
"Only a few years ago our money was gold
and silver-money that had been the money of
man for thousands of years. Our silver was de-
monetized and gold made the standard
'There is no man IN the United States with
ingenuity enough to account for the demonetiza-
ton of silver in 1873. There is not one We
