TwENTY-THmD CORPS.
Reorganization Effected at the Reunion in
Odd Fellows Hall.

Reorganization Effected at the Reunion in
Odd Fellows Hall.
Comrade Chauncey Welton called together a
large meeting OF the veterans of the Twenty
third Corps. Not one of the officers elected at
the Washington Eucampment last year was
present, and, there being no records TO show
the proceedings of the last session, it was
thought best TO effect entirely new organiza-
tion. Ii was decided that veterans of the
Corps should become members of the Associa-
ton by subscribing their names to the Consti-
tuition and Bylaws, and by agreeing to con-
tribute 10 the treasury such sums as might be
necessary to delray the expenses of the Society
The veterans elected the following officers:
Pres. J. S. Mason, Medina, o.: Sec, T. J. Nc
Clure, indianapolis; Treas, CbaHncey Welton,
Madison, Wis. Some short speeches were made
after the organization had been effected, and
plans were discussed for corps history. The
speeches were all spTopos, everybody was III
good humor and with three rousing cheers the
Reunion closed.

DON CAMERON'S THUNDER.
The Famous Pennsylvania Republi-
can Shoots His Wad.


To the great surprise of the repeal
forces, Senator Don Cameron of
Pennsylvania came out on the side
of silver, giving speech which for
patriotism, brevity and logical sim
plicity will hold place among the
great speeches of the United States
Senate. His words were as follows:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: The Senate will
admit that l do not often occupy it's
time. Nothing but. conviction that
our action now is vital to the public
interest forces me to speak today.
l shall begin by calling your clos
est attention, not to my own views,
but to those of Mr.. GLADSTONE, the
prime minister of England, given Of
ficially by him in the House of Com
mons Feb. %, Of this year, when the
silver question was last debated. AS
far as l know, this is the latest, most
formal and most explicit statement
of the British government on the
subject. Mr.. Gladstone said:
"England is the great creditor of the
countries of the world; of that there can
be no doubt; and it is increasingly the
great creditor of the countries of the
world. l suppose that not a year passes
over our heads which does not largely
add to the mass of British investments
abroad. | am almost afraid to estimate
the total amount of property which the
United Kingdom owns in other countries.
But of this am sure, that it is not to be
estimated by tens or hundreds of mil
lions. One thousand millions probably
would be an extremely low estimate.
Two thousand millions OF something
more than that is likely to be nearer the
mark. l think, under these circumstan-
ces, it is a serious matter to ask this
country to consider whether we are 60
ing to perform this supreme act of self
sacrifice"
l will not trouble you further with
Mr.. Gladstone's remarks, although
he went on to develop his idea in
terms even more forcible than those
| have quoted. Senators can read the
debate for themselves. I have no
wish to excite angry feelings against
anyone, whether abroad or at home;
but you will observe that the ''su-
preme act of self-sacrifce," which
Mr.. Gladstone considers to be con ira
ry to the interests of England as the
great creditor country of the world,
is the attempt to restore and main
tain in silver it's function of serving
as money.
IT Is GROUND ENOUGH.
l am tempted to sit down and
leave this speech OF Mr.. Gladstone to
stand alone as the ground for the
vote ! shall give on the bill now be-
fore us. It is ground enough. To
my mind it carries conviction as to
the true course of an American; but
everyone cannot be expected to leap
at once across a gap which represents
a lifetime of my feelings and
thoughts; and not one lifetime only.
but fully two hundred years of Am
erican history. l trust the Senate
will have patience with me if l ex-
plain what seems to me self-evident
! want to carry with me their unani
mons assent

have heard the remark that the Uni
ted States are the greatest country in
the world. The sentiment is no
doubt patriotic and honorable, al
though | am not sure that it is per-
fectly in good taste; but if it is
true, or if it is even partly true, !
would like to ask Senators in what
consists our financial greatness.
Some will say it consists in the en-
ergy and numbers of our citizens; in
their virtues, their intelligence, their
education, their enlightenment; IN
the extent and resources of their ter
ritory, and it's unrivalled variety of
blessings; in its agriculture, it's min
erals, its rivers and it's lakes.
OPPOSITION TO ENGLAND's POLICY.
To all these titles to greatness |
will add another. The chief claim
of our nation to merit in the eyes of
us who have share in it's govern
ment and in the eyes Of every repub-
lican citizen, white or black, rich or
poor, whose opinion we regard, is
that from first to last, and on all occa-
sions, America has asserted the most
emphatic possible negative to the
policy and methods of the moneyed
power of England. From the day
when the pilgrims founded Plymouth
down to the day we passed the act
now under discussion, the chief in
terest of our history in the eyes of
America or Europe has been its such
cessful protest against the ideas and
interests of the monied power of En-
gland, whether that power was for
the moment embodied in church or
king, in landed aristocracy or a
trading monopoly.
On this point 1 imagine we are a.
greed. I will not argue it. You
will all admit it's truth, and | am in
haste to show its force. You know
that our statute books are crammed
with legislation which rests on direct
negation to British principles and
practices. Our form Of government
was itself devised on those lines.
We have framed our entire admins
trative system, down to minute de-
tails, in the same spirit. We have
fostered and protected the small land
owner; we have protected manufac-
lures; we have protected our ship
ping, our citizens and seamen; we
have, so far as we could, under any
and all our party changes, even
when we changed our methods, still
preserved the radical policy which,
whether under Federal or Republic
an, Wing or Democrat, has always
been to maintain negative on what
we thought, and still think, the
MISTAKES OF THE MONEY POWERS
of England.
Americans are sensible race, and
far from vindictive or narrow. They
have good reasons for all their acts,
and especially for their fundamental
principles. The reason for their at
titude toward England is that, ever
since America was discovered Eng
land has been controlled by its mon
led interests; and all Americans have
believed that the monied interests of
England were selfish, cruel and ag
gressive, as well as sordid, to a deg
rec that made them dangerous to all
the world and fatal to the weak.
If this point is clear, | will for an
instant revert to Mr.. Gladstone's s
speech in which he has laid down, in
explicit form, officially, the policy of
the money interests of England,
which was the same evening ap-
proved and adopted by large ma
ljority of the House of Commons.

SMALLPOX IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Disbelief In and Opposition to Vaccination
Manifested by Influential People.
About twenty years ago there was
severe epidemic of smallpox in England
and America In recent months the
disease has been causing alarm in many
parts of England and Scotland. Up to
the middle of January it was prevail
ing-though in general the cases are Of
mild type-in about fifty localities,
including Liverpool, Manchester, Edin-
burgh and Glasgow. In the last city
thirty-four new cases occurred within
ten days previous to the report. The
story is serious one at this especial
season Of the year. No newly impro-
vised hospitals can be expected to stay
the spread of the disease. England
contends with the pest at disadvan-
tage. Many persons of influence do
not believe in vaccination, write against
it and oppose it in every way they can.
The opposition has grown greatly dur
ing the long absence of the epidemic.
The vaccination laws are practically in
suspense. In some districts many chill
dren have never been vaccinated. Even
where the letter of the law has been
complied with vaccination has been
done in very lax and Enthusiastically
way, and there has been an almost Gu
tire absence of revaccination. Again,
the large class of tramps and the many
filthy lodging houses into which they
crowd at night greatly aid in the spread
OF the disease. At Manchester a man
was found suffering from smallpox ut
large lodging house. The inspector
made arrangements for his removal,
but as soon as the officers back was
turned the patient bolted from the
house, and when he was captured some
hours later he was believed to have in
fected a considerable number of his fell
lows. If the epidemic reaches this
country, we shall not expect it to spread
very extensively, for the laws respect
ing vaccination are intelligently car
ried out. Still, the large Immigrant
population will need looking after and
lodging houses will need rigid inspec-
tiol. Revaccination should be properly
attended to. The authorities also should
promptly provide means. for the isola-
ton of patients.

AN ENEMY OF THE SPIDER.

Tho 1chneumon Fly of Ceylon and It's
Strange Method OF Reproduction.
a writer quoted by Leisure Hour
gives an interesting account of the
curious habits of the ichneumon fly of
Ceylon, the natural enemy of the
spider. This insect is green in color,
and in form resembles q wasp, with a
marvelously thin waist. IT makes it's
nest OF well-worlzed clay, and then
goes out on a hunting expedition. It's
victims are invariably spiders of vari-
GUS kinds, but MI are subject to the
same mode of treatment. A scientific
sting injects some poison which effect
ually pnralyzes the luckless spider
who is then carried off to- the nest and
there fastened with dab of moist
clay. Another and another victim is
brought to this chamber of horrors.
Then the president mother ichneumon
fly proceeds to deposit her eggs, one in
one BODY OF eacn SPIDER; wnlcn can lust
move its legs in vague, aimless man
ner, but can offer no resistance. This
done, the fly returns to her work as q
mason. She prepares more clay and
builds up the entrance to this CHASTITY
cell. Then she commences q new cell,
which she furnishes in like manner,
and closes; then she adds yet another
cell, and SO proceeds until her store of
eggs are oil provided for, and her task
in life being accomplished she dies,
leaving her evil brood to hatch at
leisure. In due time these horrid lit
tile mhggots come to life and find them
selves; Graded in n larder Of fresh
meat. Each poor'spider is still alive,
and his juices afford nutriment for the
ichneumon-grub, until it is ready to
pass into its chrysalis stage, thence to
emerge as winged fly, fully prepared
to carry out the traditions of its anccs-
tors, with regard to spiders and fulfill
the purpose for which they have been
created, according to ichneumon be-
lief.
