Entered at the postoftice in Petersburg for transmission through tho mails us sceoudclass matter. FRIDAY, MARCH 9.1894. i ■ I CONGRESSMAN HALL Of Mi880II •who is on the sub-committee of the committee on banking and currency, to which Congressman Cooper’s bill to tax greenbacks has been referred, says he believes the bill will become a law. “Our sub committee, consisting of Mr. Warner of New York, Mr. “Henderson of Illinois, and myself, have made a favorable report on the bill to the full committee on banking and currency,” he said. “A resolution is now pending iu the full committee instructing me to make a favorable report on the bill to the Jloose. The resolution will undoubtedly pass, probably at tjie next meeting of the committee. X have talked With both the Easteru and Western Democratic Congressman, and they ill favor it. It is my opinion that ii will pass the House by a strict party vote, and I believe it will pass the Senate E also and be signed by the president. Congressman Cooper is yery much interested in the passage of the bill. Now that the Bland bill for the coinage of the seiguidrage has S asset! the House, there is considerate speculation as to the probable fate that awaits it in the Senafe and at the White House should .it pass the Senate. Congressman Tracy, of New Tork, who is closer to the President on financial matters, perhaps, than any other qian in Congress, expresses the opinion that the President will veto the bill. ! Said a doctor of Petersburg the other day, “I am a projectionist. I believe in letting the foreigner pay the runuiug expenses of our government.” That, is certainly one of the brightest remarks that we have heard for many a day. There is not a pupil In the city schools, over the age of ten years, but what knows that the consumer pays the duties on all imported goods, and not the foreigner. This is au age of the world where the citizen should be informed and not make such raw breaks. The foreigner pays nothing. Remember that. But said the doctor “I am in favor of a high internal revenue on whisky.” Who pays the tax on whisky the distiller or the consumer.? One question can be answered just the same as the other. There Is not a particle of difference, yet some people pliug to the theory that the consumer pays nothing.

Events now stirring the blood of the great Democratic masses are too momentous to admit of a hearing for anybody’s personal grievances. The battle-cry of Freedom has been sounded. The flag of Democracy has been advanced to the front of the reiorm . hosts; individuals with selfish ends count for nothing. The sore heads must throw away their vinegar, apply the arnica of party loyalty and party discipline vigorously and take their places in the ranks of th® grand army of reform will sweep by on its victorious march leaving them to be gathered in bv the enemy. Out* young friend of the Press would 6eek to convey the impression among the old veterans that the editor of this paper is against them and the pensioners of this country. It is the ifierest folly for the young man to utter such untruths wheu he remembers that it has only been a very few weeks since the editor gave his tfews very fully on the question and , Vii*. .... ... .

which the Press never answered, neither did it attempt too. Hence it is not necessary to again go into delails. The people are beginning to find out the whole cause of the suspension of pensions and now lay the blame when it properly belongs to the medical examiners who sent in the reports a year or so ago. further discussion is not necessary on this point, for it is as clear as tne noonday sun. Say! wait and the tun is coming on lively. Richard Selby is a candidate for the republican nomination for trusty of Washington township. Then Ras Johnson, chairman ot the street committee of the city council of Petersburg, is also in the field. There are now four candidates, Joseph Patterson, Matthew MoMurrav, and the two aboVe mentioned. From remarks made some of the boys, have it in for a few of the numerous caudidatos, but for what reason we are unable to saY,

The present hard times is caused by Republican legislation and Republican mis-administration. Not simply Sue administration but by a succession of administrations has the result been brought about year after year false theories of economies has been applied and from extreme to more extreme false ideas of protection have advanced until paternalism has borne its fruits; no work, no pay, no protection to home ; Republican soup houses; ragged clothes and empty stomachs. And had it not been for this Democratic interval of reform and repairs all the principles upon which .the government of this republic was originally founded would have been] uudermiued, this nation bankrupted aud revolution would hjtve followed. How Is This? Attention is called to the fact that notwithstanding, the Republican oalamity'howl that the country is going to ruin by reason of business depressed caused by feat of the Wilson tariff bill, business aud manufacturing interests all over the country are on the boom, and yet the Republican press which has been the channel for the dissemination of false and damaging reports are too cowardly and pat tisau in then* method to note editorially the present rapid change for the better. Leaving all politics out of the question every citizen of the United Stales, and every newspaper having the -best interests of the country in view should be only too glad to note the present remarkable change for the better. The proof of this improvement is contained in the daily press telegrams, and yet while republican papers are forced to publish this information in their news columns as a matter of news they are not run on broad enough guage to comment favorably on the rapid return of prosperity, but cull oat here and there a few exceptions to rule of improvement and make a general application. Read the following telegrams, all published in the news columns of republican newspapers: Vineland, N. J.—The shoe manufactory of John R. Potts & Sou commenced operations last Monday morning with orders enough to keep the place running for some time. Stroudsburg, Pa.—The Stroudsburg Woolen Mills, the leading industry in this county, will resume in a few days. The mill closed on account of repairs about two months ago. Owing to improvements, a large number of men that formerly had work will hereafter be employed. Reading. Pa.—The anthracite blast tornace at Macungie has been out of blasrwf some tine, aud a Philadelphia syndicate lsJbegotinting for its purchase, in which evt nt it will resume at au early date. Lewisburg, Pa.—The extensive rolling mills here have been started by Mech & Grei-1 singer. There is a marked improvement in all other industries in this section. Reading, Pa—Lap weld Furnace No. 1 and Burwell Furnace No. 3. in the pipe mill of the Reading Iron Company, were lighted last Monday morning and 75 men were given employment. The sheet mill also resumed aud the different departments are beginning to work as fast as necessary repairs are completed. '

Millville, N. J —The large Eastlake Woolen Mills, of Bridgeton, resumed operations last Wednesday, after being idle six weeks. Elizabeth, N. J.—Notices were posted on the gates ol the big Singer Manufacturing Company’s works announcing that they would start on Wednesday, which they did, after being shut down a month. The works employ 3,500 hands. Hammond.. Ind.—Feb. 19—The Lakeside Nail Mill commenced operations today with a fall force of rollers. The nail cutters will go to work on Wednesday, About250 skilled workmen will be employed in the cutting department. < The East Chicago Iron and Steel Works also began operations today after an idleness of six months. Both plants will be run seven days a week. Racine, Wis,, Feb. 19.—The J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company, which has been closed for five months, started up today with a full" force of 600 men, Enough orders have been received to keep the works in operation for several months. Kokomo, February 22.—Plans will be completed to-day for the establishment of a mamoth tin-plate factory in this city on the site of the Kokomo.Wlndow-GlassCompany’s plant, recently destroyed by fire. The controlling stock will be held oy local investors aud the remainder by practical tin-plate fnen from abroad. The new enterprise will receive free fuel from the Enterprise free sras line, which has been built for the especial use of manufacturers. Tbfee are only a few. The wires are loaded every-day with announcements of business revival, and the country will soon experience an era of prosperity never before reached.

GEN. JOHN C. BLACK His Famous Speech m the Pension Questioi. One of the Best Addresses Delivered in Many Years. He Defends, the Democratic Policy Toward Deferring Pensioner. Every lane Should be Bead and lieread by the Old Vetera na

General John C. Black, of Illinois, who was pension commissioner during the first Cleveland administration, In a strong speech on the pension bill in the Uousb last Saturday, made an eloquent defense of ihe democratic party’s policy toward deserving pensioners and stirred up the republican side by his repudiation of the partisan assertions that the present head of the pension bureau was hostile to the old soldiers. Gen. Black’s speech was one of the strongest that has beeu delivered on the subject in many years, and his eloquent description o£ the heroic part which Commissioner Lochren played at Gettysburg aroused great enthusiasm ou the democratic side. He also presented some interesting facts, showing how the democratic administration of the pension bureau had been even more friendly to the j old soldiers than had the previous republican administration, lie showed that during the eighteen years tine republicans were in control of the house they originated bills which appropriated $676,000,000 for the payments ot pensions, and that during the years the democratic party was in control bills were originated which carried appropriations of $95] ,000,000. Mr. Grout of Vermont, who is the leading republican ou the pension committee and who is in charge of the republican side during the debate, smiled when General Black declared that these figures demonstrated more conclusively than any amouut of argument that the democratic party in dealing with the federal soldiers has followed a magnanimous and noble policy. General Black took notice of Mr. Grout’s, derisive 6mile and retorted, amid general democratic applause, that “the hollow laughter of baffled anger or malice canuot wipe out the nearly one thousand millions that democratic cougresses have appropriated for the support of the pensioners.” General Black told how one regi meut of 1,040 enlisted men bad gone to Tennessee in the closing days of the war to guard some railroads. He said that the regiment never saw a hostile force aud its silvery flag had no trace of the baptism of war. “Yet to-day,” said he, “there are oti the peusion rolls of that regiment 614 men, with two companies not accounted for.” Republicans pressed General Black J to give the name of the regiment, but he”referred them to the pension offloe, where he said the facts could be easily established. General Black, in replying to the charge that Commissioner Lochren was unfriendly to the soldier, described in graphic language the charge made at Gettysburg of the First Minnesota volunteers, of which Mr. Lochren w|s a member. He told how in the charge, which had been ordered by Uaucock, 215 ot the £62 members of that regiment had fallen under the fire of Wilcox aud Early. He said:

‘‘I want the geirtlemen to go back with me for a little while o a scene that will start the blood tingling through hearts on this side and the other alike. It was the 2d day of July, 1863, and this capitol crouched terror-stricken because the invading legions ol Lee had alread} sounded the opening thunders at Gettysburg. On the second day of that great con* test to whdck the world stood wituess —on that second day the corps of Sickles, that gallant crippled veteran who sits there [pointing] durit)J|our deliberations, was being massecFat Peach Orchard in front o Cemetery Hill. It was charged by Wilcox and by Early. The lines were broken. Who could stand the serried assault of that superb army of g-ay-coated, slouch-hatted veterans, when they were on the run ? Our tr tops broke, IheD came . apcc^cle w * ,».t «.«y

in the history of war in proportion to the numbers involved. Our troops, passing back through the second time, found lodgment and safety there under the protection of their comrades of the same blood and faith aud strength as those that assailed them, and in the very center of where that vast controlling mass moved for- ! ward the First Minnesota Regiment stood with the man Locbren in.its line [applause] with his fellows, 262 in number, with whom he had won distinction aud houor, because until he marched to the flaming death of Antietam ho had been nothing but a private and a sergeant iu 'he ranks. It was there the hand of reward huuted him,out and made him a petty officer in that command. On that day with the remnant of his command he stood on the crest of Cemetery Hill *nd looked where Sickei’s columns were in retreat, looked where the victorious forces of Early and Wilcox were coming ou and then with the 262 he waited for the results. At that moment there came op that man whose wild observant eye, whose great deeds, whose noble heart, whose superb soldiery have made him known to history as ‘Hancock, the Superb.’ [Applause]. Riding from the rear, he came to where this group stood crouched. ‘What command is this?’ asked. ‘The First Minnesota,’ was the reply. /Charge those columns,’was his command. I give you the facts as history has recorded them. At the word, this

little array, in which Lieut. William Lochren stood (as a file closer, if you please), steadied themselves for an onset as hopeless as the stand of the Greeks at Thermopylae. Here was the broken fragments of a glorious army; there came the onrush of a victorious foe. Those 262 men arraved themselves in line at the command of the colonel. That command of 262 started dowrr the hill toward the front of the conflict. They pushed forward ; they increased their double-quick to a ruu; they brought their bayonets down ; ihey made a break in 'he center of that line, which checked the advance of those victorious veterans and gave time for the reforming of the Union commands, and saved the day at Cemetery Ridge for the federal army. [Applause] And in the center of that column was this man Loohren,[jHii| applause] today an honored memberoTtlui-iioyal legion of the United States, to-day beariug his comrades cause in his heart as faithfully and as clearly as wheu 215 out of those 262 fell, killed and wounded in that single charge only 47 remaining, and he was one of the 47. He had been a private si Idier, a non-commissioned officer, an officer. For three years the tap of the drum and the voice of command summoned him on 40 battlefields. To tell me to-day that because he observes the laws of his country, because he honors and regards his oath that man paying out everything that he can and reserving only that which he most, is unfriendly to the federal soldiery, stamps the whole vast procession ol slanders with the character which they deserve.” Cheer upon cheer from the gallery and the floor followed the speaker's brilliant peroration and his colleagues crowded around and congratulated him again aud again.
