HENBY M.

Beads and baubles generally constitute the consideration. Four or five hundred years hence the heirs of Henry M.

KAISER WILHKIIM has lately done a very strange thiug. Major Hinze, of the German army, deolined to accept a challenge to fight a duel with a brother officer who fancied he had a grievance. He was tried by a "oourt of honor," composed of the staff offioers of the guard corps, and adjudged unworthy of the right to the title of major and to wear the uniform of the army. An appeal was taken to the Emperor, And he confirmed the sentence of degradation. And yet there is a clause in the criminal code^ of Germany forbidding challenging to a duel under penalty of six months' imprisonment. Assume that the Kaiser is the Devil and the criminal code is the deep sea, and it will be seen that the German soldier is subject to a peril hitherto supposed to be conficed to the marines.

THE next annual reunion of the Army of tho Potomac will ba held at Gettysburg on the let, 2nd and 3rd of July 1888. A cordial invitation has been extended to the survivors of the Army of the Virginia (Lee's army) to meet them as their guests. The firm of Fairohild, Tuttle & Co, wholesale and retail deal era in sectional animosities, will be likely to go into bankruptcy when they hear of this heavy drop in value of the commodity in whioh they deal and with which they loaded themselves up heavily on speculative aooount expecting to bull the future market into a sharp advance. And now oome these veterans of the Army of the Potomac and raid the late market until the bottom drops out of all animosity values. What business have they, the survivors of the

Union army, fraternizing on that bloody field of battle with the survivors of the rebel army that opposed them there a quarter of a century ago? Do they not know that the sort of a meeting they propose will put a premium on treason? Do they not realize that the only proof they oan give of their own valo and loyalty Is by beriding and denouncing the sur vivors of the army they vanquished? Oan they never ba made to understand that in order to be considered brave they mast adopt the manners of the bully and that to offer the olive branch of peace and good fellowship to former

fops is evidence of cowardice? Worst of all, will they never remember that these infernal fraternal gatherings mean the ruination of Faircbild, Tuttle & Co, and knock the bottom out of the value of their stock in trade?

ROBT. SCHILLING'S SPEECH. Believing that there oan be printed no more interesting matter in today's issue than a verbatim short-hand report of the Fourth of July speech of Bobt Schilling at the Fair (Grounds yesterday afternoon,- the GAZETTE surrenders a good deal of space for that purpose. It is not known whether this is the speech which Mr. Schilling meant to make, had he not been attacked. It may have been made milder by modification. He says his plan was changed by the assault ou him and that he had meant to make the "eagle scream."' Certain it is that a large portion of the speech is not objectionable, though wholly inappropriate on the Fourth of July. His definitions of both anaro'nism and socialism—whioh are exact opposites—are accurate. Discussed theoretically, as it is so often in the magazines and on the lecture rostrom, socialism has many advocates. Though logically defective and, in its ultimate tendency, destructive of personal liberty and individual development, its aim is to check individualism, and it is unfair to confound it in any sense with anarchism. And so, to many minds Schilling's speech, printed in this issue, will seem, though inappropriate to the Fourth of July and ill-tempered in some of its allusions, quite a good presentation of socialism and quite a just attack on monopoly. But this is not the kind of speech for which Mr. Schilling was indicted nor is boycotting anything like what he describes it to be. Boycotting is not simply requesting people not to patronize certain firms. We all of us withhold our patronage from people whom for any reason we do not like. Boyootting is an utterly different thing. The boycotter attempts to compel people to share his dislike for a particular firm on penalty of personal ruin. He says: "Agree with me that so and so is

YESTERDAY Col. Thomas H. Nelson delivered his fiftieth 4th of July oration, at Marshall, 111. Time does not wither nor custom stale the infinite variety of his eloquence. Within his bosom the fires of patriotism burn as brightly and he is as enthusiabtically for the old flag and all the accompaniments as he was a half century ago when, just after his admission to the bar, his maiden effort as a 4th of July orator was delivered on the sacred soil of Kentucky. Looking back over the long vista of years the patriarch of today finds that many of the hopefal prognostications of the youthful patriot have been more than fulfillbd, and he entertains the highest hopes for the perpetuity of our free institutions.

ALL. honor to Morton Post G. BA. R. for its prompt and decisive action in refusing to iudorseutterances which seemed likely, from the character and record of the chosen speaker, to be in denunciation rather than praise of the 4th of July. They fought to perpetrate the government which the men of 1776 founded and did not relish the idea of listening to a speech whioh by any sort of implication could be made to convey the idea that the work was not good.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.

During the fisoal year which ended on the 30th of June 8110,000,000 in roand numbers, of pabiio debt was paid. Once upon a time, and not BO very long a time ago either, an air of mystery was thrown about the payment of the national debt as if it was some great feat the secret of which was kuown only to the Kepnblican leaders. This great eecret seems to oonsist in im posing taxes which yield a revenue in exoess of the current expenses of the government and the application of the surplus to the payment of the debt. There is no trick at all about it. Cleveland's administration has been paying the debt with great rapidity and ease. It finds itself blocked now in any fur

for patronage or I will boycott you and get thousands of organized m6n to act likewise." It is a ruthless tramping on individual liberty. Its intent is to suppress independence—to inaugurate servile Slavery. It is hateful and hideous to every free man. This is what Mr. Schilling was guilty of at Milwaukee and i+ weighs for more than all the speeches red not or diluted he ever made. It was an overt act and speaks for itself. There are other men who have boycotted besides him, but seeing that it does not stop with t|he original party, who may possibly be unworthy of patronage, but injures other and iunocent people, they have become ashamed of it and have dropped it as a weapon. Schilling has not. He boasted yesterday in an office ia the city that he had boycotted and said he would do so Bgain. Such a man makes himself ridioulous by comparing himself to Galileo, Stephenson and other discoverers, who have been oppressed for their viewe, because people object to hif addressing them.

ther payment by a blunder left to the country as a legacy of that wonderful financier, John Sherman, who is trying to start a presidential boom for himself on the flood tide of his supposed superior wisdom in money matters. And yet the present dilemma in which the country finds itself, with a large interest bearing debt whioh cannot be paid, $250,000,000 of it until 1891 and the remainder until 1907, is the work of this John Sherman. Had he possessed a tithe of the financial wisdom of whioh he boasts, all of those bonds would have been payable at the option of the government now and every

ional indebtedness would have been paid by 1907 instead of seven hundred and fifty odd million dollars of it only falling due at that time. To liquidate any of that debt now the government would be required to pay to the holders of its bonds premiums varying from 10 to 13 per cent and that is utterly out of the question. The revenue laws oan, to be sure, be revised so as to produce only sufficient money for the current expenses of the government, and they will in a few weeks be not a dollar of debt that can be reached except by paying a premium. But in 1891 $250,000,000 will fall due and the revenue laws will then require another change to provide a surplus for its payment. Then there will be a break of sixteen years before the last of the debt can be reached and one or two more ohanges in the revenue laws will be required to meet the emergencies of that period. For all this the oountry is indebted to the overpowering wisdom of that wizard of finance, John Sherman, for whom the claim is made that in money matters and business affairs generally the oountry has never seen his like since the days of Alexander Hamilton and the first organization of the Treasury Department.

A Fiend Sets Fire To a Town Because He Could Not Get License. EBIE, Pa., July 6.—A special to the Dispatch says: At 9:30 o'clock on Monday evening fire burst out in severa places at Clarendon, seven miles east of Warren, on the Philadelphia & Erie road. A brisk southwest wind was blowing, and the fire swept over the frame bnildings like a whirlwind. Every effort was made to save the town. The area burned over is twenty acres the value o*the buildings destroyed is $350,000 insurance is small. Eleven huudrtd people are homeless tonight. Some are camped out at. Clarendon while some have been taken to Warren from which place the provisions was sent Rough lumber is being sent to Clarendon as fast as possible order that shelter may be provided for those burned out. It is well established that the fire was inoen'diery. Public rumor says that two weeks ago when the liquor licenses were refused to applicants in Warren county Mahoney, proprietor of the Weaver house threatened to fire the town if the decision of the court was not reversed in two weeks. This morning after the fire burned out the citizens looked about for Mahoney for one of the fires started in his room in the hotel, but he was not to be found. A warrant was thrown out, and searching parties scoured the country. He was found biding in the woods six miles from Clarendon. A charred skeleton found in one of the rooms of the hotel is supposed to be that of a hack driver named Sullivan who is missing. He was seen about early in the evening drunk.

Dr. McGlynn Formally Excommunicated.—The Paper Defending Him Suspends.

DRJ^GLYNN.

He Is Formally Excommunicated. ROME, July 6.—The Pope, through the perfect of the propaganda, has sent to Archbishop Corrigan, at New York, instructions to formally excommunicate Dr. Ed ward McGlynn from the Catholic ohurch without further delay.

MILWALKEE, July 5.—Mr. McGlynn says in regard to his excommunication "I will stick to my theoriee, even if they should roast me alive. My case is pretty near the same as that of Galileo, but I will uot give up my ideas. I will never recall What I have said once. Galileo was weak enough to retract before the inquisition I will never give up my principles. I defy the right of the Roman Catholic church to prohibit me to teach my principles and land theories I will continue to instruct the poor, the laboring people. I fulfilled my duties as a priest. I have not taught any doctrine against the rules of the church. I want everybody to enjoy life. I am today just as good a Catholic as the pope himself. I believe in all teachings and sacraments of the churoh bat I do not believe that the pope has any right to prohibit the teaching of my land theories."

NEW YORK, July 6—The position of Dr. McGlynn was the chief topic of conversation in Catholio circles yesterday. The prospect is that while the edict of excommunication will go formally into force it will not be the cause of any public ceremonial in any church. The fact of his notification and the fcrther fact that he is no longer a priest of the Roman Catholic church or a communi. cant of that body will be published in the newspapers. Concerning the tiue position of the Roman churoh with reference to Dr. McGlynn and all citizens of the country, a Times reporter, having heard that one of the most noted as well as most intellectually eminent of the .'local fathers bad been engaged in' succinctly setting forththe church view of the matter, yesterday called upon the priest in question and was informed that the rumor was true. Under the heading, "Tne citizen McGlynn and Rome's Aggression," the eminent gentleman leter furnished for publication his analysis of the situation from the standpoint of the churoh as follows: "There seems to be a lack of fairness in the charges whioh of late have been so recklessly hurled against the Catholio church ahd our Holy Father, the Pope, for disregarding or ignoiing or limiting or trampling upon the rights of citizenship. Some, as a matter of course, take up such a cry and shout it aloud, because they have grown to look upon American citizenship as a sacred treasure, enshrined with a palladium which enemiss or intruders are ever striving to foroe. Such as they, perhaps, unwittingly, imagine that] any chastisement which may justly fall upon a man on account df his own personal conduot or characin some other relation is an invasion or tampering-with his rights aft a citizen. Others, however, must know better, and the) cannot forget that the cry of assailed citizenship has been in the history of the past too often made the attractive subterfuge of the wrongdoer, who sought shelter from the penalty of an unlawful act by trying to throw around himself the mantle of the citizen and olaiming sympathy or protection on account of that garb' "It is well for ali alike to remember with thankfulness that the American citizen has a grand shield of protection thrown around him, aud that the stars and stripes iiy over him for safe guard and defense wherever he travels and wherever he calls for aid in the name of that flag against an uujnst aggressor. At the s&me time it must not be forgotten that whenever an American citizen becomes of his own accord a member of a corporation or a club or a company— civil, military or religicus—he is bound by the constitutions of such associations and must not, in the supposed supremacy of his citizenship, hope to violate with impunity the rules or by laws he freely pledges himself to obey. The' obligations are clearly distinct and separate and it would be utter destruction to any corporation or society within a state to admit that a member may violate its law and still retain honorable membership, because be is a citizen of the state and Buch is shielded from oensure of every kind by any society less than the state of which he is a citizen."

It is believed in the parts that Miss Munier, Dr. Carey and John R. Feeney are marked out by the Archbishop 'or excommunication on account of the defiant attitude which they have taken. It is an undoubted faot that there has lately been a gradual but sure return of worshippers to St. Stevens, and there is little doubt tnat Dr. MoGlynn's excommuuication will turn four fifths of the supporters still left him: among his old parishioners.

Misses Yerda and Nellie Wallace have returned from a short visit to L«ckport. Mrs. Milton Lance, of north welftb street, has recovered from a severe attaok of the quinsy.

ATLANTA, Ga., July 6.—Several features of the message Governor Gordon will send to the Legislature today are likely to attract the nation's attention notably the attitude he proposes taking concerning the Atlanta university. The institution is for colored students, but is taught by white professors, who mix their own children with the negroes. Governor Gordon's idea is to give state aid of 38.000 per annum to purely negro university, taught by negro professors, thus cutting off the offending whites.

ST.

Copies of the revised classification will be ready for distribution in a few days. Shippers will no doubt be glad to learn that most of the proposed changes are reductions in the classification. The advances made are for the most part on those classes of freight of which comparatively little is shipped. Ten days public notice is necessary before they can be put into effect.

Quite a Time at the Mining Town of Geneva—A Saloon Emptied of Its Contents.

At Geneva, a mining town about two miles north of Clinton, they had a very large, very noisy and hilarious Fourth of July. William Brophy, who owns a saloon there, desiring to spend the Fourth at Danville, left it in charge of a substitute, James Kelly. Early in the morning a large orowd gathered in to celebrate. They soon became very muob overloaded with lightning whiskey of a very rare quality and pandemonium reigned supreme. The bartender, not being swift enough for the gang, was deposed and one of ihe orowd elected in his stead. Fights were fought, warrants were sworn out that didn't warrant the life of aaybody who served them, and things were carried on generally in most unadmired disorder. They got through late in the evening, closed up aud repaired to a dance. At about 3 a. m. another crowd came along, broke in, captured about fifty gallons of whiskey, tobacoo, oigare, several kegs of beer, about $50 cash, eta, in all about $400, which is o! course lost to the proprietor
