A Vexations Pilymna.
Tt appears from Republican sources
sf good repute, be it said, that their
party’s Congressional Committee is con
fronted with a vexatious dilemma, and
much anxiety is expressed as to which
horn it will employ to reach dry ground.
When that unselfish and exemplary set
of statesmen gathered at Washington'
the othe, day, one of their number read,
for the edification of his fellows, the fol
lowing extract from the Civil-service
law, it being Section No. 11 of that act.
It provides that “no Senator or Repre
sentative or Territorial Delegate of
Congress, or any officer or employe of
either house, and no executive, judicial,
military or naval otlicer of the United
States, and no clerk or employe of any
department of the Government of the
United“ States, shall, directly orj indi
rectly, solicit or receive, or in any man
ner be concerned in soliciting and re
ceiving any assessment, subscription or
contribution for any political purpose
whatever, from any officer, clerk or em
ploye of the United States, or from any
person receiving compensation from any
money derived from the Treasury of the
United States ”
Then, to emphasize this, the reader
followed with setftion 14 of the same
law. It is, in substance, identical with
the above, but applies to Congressmen,
who are prohibited from receiving
money or any valuable thing from any
officer or employe of the Government.
The Committee received these disclos
ures with astonishment, but the climax
was reached when the next clause was
made known. This “section 15,”
makes the penalty for the violation of
these sections five thousand dollars line
and imprisonment in the penitentiary
for five years.
Profound gloom followed these preg
nant revelations. The Committee was
not ignorant that such a measure had
occupied public attention for some lit
tle time, but few had the positive
knowledge that it had become a law,
with the usual provisions appended.
The disposition to tri fie with the meas-.
ure was extinguished by the portentous
section 15, and the committeemen un
consciously put their clenched hands
deep down into their pockets, at the
same time indulging in a little mental
arithmetic as to how many days, hours
and minutes were contained in the
space of five years.
The exhumation of the law, for the
benefit of the Committee, was per
formed, very properly, by its secretary,
Mr. Ed ward McPherson, and as that
body is composed entirely of Senators,
Congressmen and Federal officials, its
sweeping effect will at once be ap
preciated. One of the Committee is
reported as tersely remarking that the
full significance of the Civil Service law
did not appear to have been entirely re
alized by his party, when the measure
passed Congress. According to the
Strict letter of the act, therefore, an
official who demands money to abet
iris party, can safely be housed in a
penitentiary. This fate may be in
store forthe members of the Republican
Congressional Committee unless they
return to first principles.
The province of the Democratic Com
mittee has been confined to the collec
tion and distribution of Congressional
documents, while their opponents have
been devoting their time, exclusively,
to the collection and distribution of
t hat persuasive little joker which Presi
dent Arthur has dubbed “soap.”
The case of General Curtis, the first
Republican victim of the rigors of civil
service, is at once a warning and a men
ace. If the measure be carried into
force, the Republican National, as well
as the Congressional, Committee will
have to be turned out, and in their
places private citizens will be ensconced,
and if this is done what will become of
the coming campaign if these important
duties are entrusted to uninitiated indi
viduals? But Senators and Congress
men are not only those who are con
cerned, for the law also applies to Fed
eral officials who are members of State,
county or township political or township
political organizations. —Albany Argus.
The Reason Why.
A Washington writer has discovered
a change in the political aspect favor
able to the Democratic pat ty. While
there has been no recent doubt that the
issue of the coming canvass will be
favorable to the Democrats, the change
which is noticeable to.all may be at
tributed to the recent business disturb
ances. The Republicans are invoking
the aid of business men, representing to
them that the interests of business are
dependent on their success in the elec
tions, yet such transactions as have re-
I cently convulsed the business centers
are directly traceable to the business
methods developed under Republican
administration.
Recommendation and advice in
regard to the elections from a class
which has manifested such an inclina
tion to run into excesses of speculation
and stock gambling, however zealously
they may endeavor to boom the Re
publican cause, will have rather the ef
fect to repel than to enlist popular favor
in behalf of the Republican ticket of
whatever material it mav be composed.
The people have learned that unsound
business principles are nurtured by a
corrupt political policy.
It is recognized that the business
methods which led to the recent dis
graceful failures have come into vogue
since Republican administrations have
directed the policy of the Government.
They have become to be regarded by
the people as the offspring of the loose
and dishonest political habits of the
dominant party. The knowledge of
this fact will powerfully aid the Demo
cratic cause in the present contest. The
people see so little to induce them to
aid in promoting the interest of a class
which has made its millions by monop
oly and speculations that have been en
couraged by tbe Republican party; that
when the typical business men of tly?
period, the speculators, monopolists and
stock lobiers rally to the support of the
party under which they have flourished
and fattened, the popular impulse is to
take the other side. This is a reason
why Democratic prospects are improv
ing every day, in addition to a deter
mination on the part of the people tnat
the war taxes and the tariff' tor surplus
and plunder must go. Harrisburg

The Republican Gang Doomed.
The Republican party which has
robbed the country for nearly a quarter
of a century, and which has raised up
a gang of bold plunderers and dirty
tricksters, is at last about to run its
craft in the whirlpool of destruction.
There is a feeling of uneasiness among
the most blatant members the party,
and all who have their eyes open see
defeat written over the length and
breadth of the great corruption party.
Reform was the cry in 1876 and Reform
elected Samuel J. Tilden. Unfortunate
ly for the people, the Democrats were
not allowed to seat their President, but
the spirit of reform will not rest, and
now more than ever that spirit will
make itself felt.
There is not a man in the Republican
party who represents anything like re
form. VVe do no tknow who the Dem
ocrats will nominate, but we are con
fident of one thing, that whoever the
candidate may be, he will be a strong
man—a man that will in every sense
represent the people. And above all
he will be a pure man and one that will
command the high respect of the whole
country.
In 1882 there was a great political
upheaval. States that were known as
Republican gave Democrat
ic majorities, It was a tremendous
Democratic tidal wave, a victory for the
people. The press and the people read
ily explained the upheaval by pointing
to the desperate methods of the Stal
wart Republicans; and every one saw
that the people meant to rebuke boss
ism. That very year Mahoue xvas vic
torious in Virginia, but every where else
Boss rule was overthrown. And as the
Democrats swept the country in 1882,
so they bid fair to sweep out Republican
corruption in this year of our Lord 1884.
The Republicans had much iniquity to
answer for in 1882, but since then the
Star-route cases have been added to
their foul record, and those terrible
scandals, covered up by the “grand old
party,” should alone be sufficient to de
feat any partisan gang. The old idea,
held by a few, that the Republican par
ty fostered business enterprise, and kept
Wall street in equilibrium, has been ex
ploded this year. The fallacy believed
in by timid business men that a change
of party in the Administration would
derange trade, is now having a startling
set-back. For could a Democratic Ad
ministration make business any more
unsettled and depressed than it is? This
is a question that thousands of finan
ciers and manufacturers who have here
tofore voted the Republican ticket for
the sake of “expediency” are asking;
and the answer is in favor of the De
mocracy.
The truth is, no party that has set
such an ugly example in morality as the
Republican party could have other than
an unhealthy effect on the public inter
ests of the country. With a gang of
thieves under the shadow of the White
House; with corruption in every de
partment of the Government; with
treachery rewarded where it should be
punished, the present Administration
has made a record that no party could
carry.
There is an easy remedy for the cor
ruption of the times, and that remedy
is clearly seen by the business men of
the country and the masses. The Dem
ocratic party will reform the Govern
ment; will reform business; will reform
public morals.
The Republican gang is surely
doomed. —liichmond State.
Remembered In Platforms.
When Abe Lincoln, President of the
United States, issued a proclamation
emancipating the slaves, it seems to
have given the Republican party a bill
of sale to the negro vote. Until a very
recent period the Republicans have bad
a fee simple title to them, and but few
of the negro voters seem to have dared
assert their political independence.
However unreasonable it may appear to
suspect that the negroes will go on vot
ing blindly as directed by the Repub
lican party for all time to come through
a mere sentimental fact that gratitude
requires they should make themselves
political vassals, it seems to be the pre
vailing idea among Republicans.
The spirit of unrest among the ne
groes on political quest : ons shows how
affairs are drifting. They have grown
tired of being mere voting cattle, and
the only thing to satisfy them seems to
bo some acknowledgement that they are
a part of the Republican party. Every
Republican leader knows that it would
not do to give the negroes a fair share
of the offices, and it will never be
done. They attempted, however, to
allay the disquiet by electing a few
negroes from the South as delegates to
the Chicago Convention, but this lias
added fuel to the flames. The negro
is not satisfied with such empty honors.
He has so often been told that lie is
just as good as a white man, that he
begins to want to see tbe Republicans
act upon that political principle. Alas,
he will never see it!
That there is room for complaint on
the treatment they have received from
the Republican party, is very true, but
they have no one to blame but them
selves. They fare much better in the
South than they do in the. North. The
census of 1880 shows that jfi the ten
Northern States named, there are male
negroes over the age of as
follows:
Connecticut .'!,522
Illinois 13,686
Indiana 10.739
Kansas 10.765
Massachusetts 5.55 H
Michigan 6,130
New Jersey 10,670
Ohio 21,706
Pennsylvania 23.892
New lork 20,059
Total 127.125
In at least seven of these States the
negroes hold the fate of the Republican
party in their hands. In only Kansas,
Massachusetts and .Michigan is the Re
publican majority sucb as to enable that
party to let the negroes go. Without
the colored vote they have scarcely a
fighting chance in several of thes<
States, and yet not one of the teP sen
a negro delegate to the Chicago Con
vention. In not one of the ten is there
a negro in a desirable elective office.
The greed for place will not permit the
blacks to have even a nubbin out of the
public crib. There is. however, one
thing tbe colored voters may count, on
—they are remembered iii the plai
forms. Columbus (o a.) Em/uirer.

Blankets Made of Cow Hair.
“Have you any cow hair to sell?” a
wandering buyer asked a tanner in the
presence of a reporter, a few days ago.
The tanner did have some of the curious
commodity asked for, and submitted it
to the would-be buyer’s scrutiny. The
latter critically examined the lot and
offered the owner four cents a pound
for it.
Wondering what use cow hair could
be put to, the reporter sought to sat
isfy his curiosity by questioning the
buyer. “What do I do with it?” re
plied that individual. “I’ll tell you. I
first ‘blow’ the hair by a peculiar pro
cess which separates the long hairs from
the short ones. The long hairs are
then woven into fabrics with other ma
terial which, upon completion, becomes
the genuine all-wool blankets which
Uncle Sam presents to the Indians.”
“And the shorter hairs?”
“They are worked into felting.”
“Do you ever pay more than four cents
a pound for the hair?”
“Oh, yes. White cows’ hair is worth
eleven cents a pound.”— N. Y. Mail and
Express.
Rig Words.
It is never well to use big words
when small ones will express the same
meaning. A lady who was making a
call on some acquaintance observed
that the furniture had been changed,
and remarked to the lady: “You have
been metamorphosed, haven’t you?”
“Y-e-s,” said the other hesitatingly.
“You mean cakdmined, I suppose; it
looks much better, doesn’t it?”
“What caused your little boy’s sick
ness?” asked a plain mother of a mother
whoso little son was very ill. “He was
climbing a ladder,” said the lrdy, “and
lost his equilibrium.” “Poor littlofel
low,” said the sympathetic woman; “do
buy him another; he’ll be more careful
next time!” “Did you find the people
indigent?” asked a clergyman of a
wealthy member of his church who had
been calling on some very poor families.
“O, dear, no,” answered thelady; “they
were respectable, but as poor as pov
erty.”—A'ew York, Observer.

CURE OF RHEUMATISM.
No. 45 Fulton Market, \
New York City, Jan. 30, 1884. (
I have been a martyr to Inflammatory
Rheumatism for thirty years. lam a pro
vision dealer in Fulton Market, and the
dampness of the place caused my trouble.
Standing on the stones, my feet used to
swell up almost as big as cushions, then
the rheumatism would affect my shoulders
and arms. I have tried almost everything,
but without avail, until I began using
Brandreth’s Pills. The most I ever took
was six pills at a dose, and soon as the
medicine operated, the pain would begin
to pass off. I then took two pills rvevy
night for a week, and would be entirely
cured for some months, until I had another
attack; then the same treatment always
cured me. Brandri?th’B Pills never have
failed me once. I have been using them
for upwards of thirty years. I daily recom
mend them, and I lately cured my clerk of
rheumatism; he took the pills the same as
I did. lam now 72 years old, strong and
vigorous, and I am sure Brandrkth’s
Pills are the cause. Anybody afflicted
with rheumatism can come to mo, and if
they will take Brandreth’s Pills, I will
surely cure them. C. W. Dyer.
No. 3 Fulton M arret, >
NjffhVOßK Cite, Jan. 26, 1884. j
I have been using Brandreth’s Pills
for t>ne last 10 years. They are a wonder
ful medicine. There is nothing equal to
them as Blood Purifiers and Liver Reg
ulators. But I wish to state how remark
ably they cure Rheumatism, and how
easily: I was affected by Rheumatism of
the legs. My business (wholesale fish
dealer) naturally leads mo to damp places.
I was so bad I could not walk, and at
night I suffered fearfully/ I tried Bal
sams, Sarsaparillas, and all khuk of
tinctures, but they did me no good, tnd I
was afraid of being a cripple. I ( uilly
commenced using Brandreth’s PhLs. I
took two every night for ten sights, then
I began to improve; I continued taking
them tar 40 days, and I got entirely well.
Now, when ever sick, I take IdßAWDßimi’e
Pills. They never fail.

HER SECRET TROUBLES.
The loknown Trials Which a Woman
Cndured Without Complaint-
Why They Vanished.
Near the close of one of the most trying
of the few hot days of the present year a
pale, care-worn woman might have been
seen at thp window of her dwelling appar
ently in a condition of. complete exhaus
tion. Her efforts to meet the accumulated
duties of her household had been great but
unsuccessful, while the care of a sick child,
whose wails could even then be heard, was
added to her otherwise overwhelming
troubles. Nature had done much for her
and in her youthful days she had been not
only beautiful but the possessor of health
such as is seldom seen. But home and
family duties and the depressing cares
which too often accompany them had
proven greater than her splendid strength
and she felt at that, moment not only that
life was a burden but that death would be
a grand relief. This is no unusual experi
ence. It is, in fact, a most common every
day occurrence, and a great prayer is con
stantly ascending from thousands of homes
for deliverance from the deadly power
which is enslaving so many wives, moth
ers and daughters. And yet these duties
of life ihust be met. No woman can af
ford to turn aside from the proper care of
her home and the ones who are committed
to her care, although in doing these duties
she may sacrifice her health, and possibly
life itself. The experience ot' one who suc
cessfully overcame such trials and yet re
tained health and all the blessings it brings
is thus told by Rev. William Watson, Pre
siding Elder of the Methodist-Episcopal
Church, residing at Watertown, N. Y. He
said:
“My wife became completely run down
through overwork and care of a sick mem
ber of our household, and I entertained
serious apprehensions as to her future.
She was languid, pale, utterly exhausted,
without appetite, and in a complete state
of physical decline. And yet she did not,
could not neglect her duties. 1 have seen
her about the house, trying courageously
to care for the ones she loved when I could
tell, from the lines upon her face how
much she was suffering. At times she
would rally for a day or two and then fall
hack into the state of nervous exhaustion
she felt before. Her head pained her fre
quently, her body was becoming bowed by
pain and all hope or enjoyment in life
seemed departed. What to do we could
not tell. I resolved, however, to bring
back her life and vitality if possible and to
this end began to treat her myself. To my
great relief her system has been toned up,
her strength restored, her health complete
ly recovered and wholly by the use of
Warner’s Tippecanoe, which I regard as
the greatest tonic, ifivigorator and stomach
remedy that has ever been discovered. I
was led to use it the more readily as I had
tested the health-restoring properties of
Warner’s Safe Cure in my own person and
I therefore knew that any remedy Mr.
Warner might produce would be a valuable
one. I have since recommended both Warn
er’s Tippecanoe and Warner’s Safe Cure to
many of my friends and I know several
Doctors of Divinity as well as numerous
laymen who are using both with great
benefit.”
If all the overworked and duty driven
women of America could know of the ex
perience above described, and act upon the
same, there can be little doubt that much
of the pain, and most of the depressing in
fluences of life might be avoided. Such
truths are too valuable to remain unknown.

ONE MODERN TERROR
Increasing in Frequency and Danger—
What Can be Done to Stop the Progress
of Kidney and Bladder Complaints?
There is no more agonizing class of dis
ease, and none more certain “ not to get
well of itself,” than the disorders of the
kidneys and bladder. Physicians too fre
quently fail to recognize what they are,
and even if knowing tlvora, lack the skill
for their proper treatment. So that they
are liable to be allowed to progress until
they are almost unendugable, and their
victims are made to undergo the most
frightful tortures of a surgical operation.
The only medicine that does afford speedy
relief and permanent cure of such affect
ions is DR. DAVID KENNEDY’S FA
VORITE REMEDY, (of Itondout, N. Y.)
It is not a mere soother, temporarily, of
pain; but by its alterative action purifies
the blood, restores a healthful condition to
the diseased organs, and even dissolves
and causes the expulsion of gravel and
stone from the kidneys and blaftlder. The
testimony of hundreds who have been
cured by it vouches for this. If you have
weakness, or pain in the back over the kid
neys, or if your urine is dark colored, do
not delay treatment for a single day, but
hasten at once to arrest the progress of the
disease by the use of Dr. Kennedy’s FA
VORITE REMEDY. Dr. Kennedy as
sures the public, by a reputation which he
cannot afford to forfeit or imperil, that the
FAVORITE REMEDY does invigorate the
blood, cures liver, kidney and bladder com
plaints, as well as those diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to females.

“A SEVERE CASE OF CATARRH CUR9D.”
Mr, Asa B. Rowley, of the firm of Pierce & Rowley,
Druggists and Apothecaries, cor. 35th and Indians
Ave., says: “ I was afflicted with a very aggravated
form of Catarrh, several physicians predicted that It
would soon end In consumption. Wc have sold Paph
lon Catakrii Curb for nearly two years and hoard
such good reports from our customers, that I was In
duced to use the remedy for my own case; the reault
wasunprecedent -d. I commenced to get well after
using it the first time, I continued using the remedy
for several weeks, and am now entirely cared. I will
bo glad to give any one calling upon me further particu
lass. Papillon Catarrh Cure we are confident is the
ouly sure cure for Catarrh —acute or chronic. Hay
Fever or Rose Cold. ”
"A REPORT FROM HOME.”
Last winter I was afflicted by a carbuncle, followed
by several bolls on the back of my neck. I tried your
remedies, and by keeping the inflamed parts saturated
with Papillon Skin Cure, I was entirely cured. There
lief obtained from the BOroness and i nflammatton was
immediate and effectual. I have used the Skin Core
upon styes, and found it the most, satisfactory remedy
for that trouble I ever tried; it gives immediate reiiet
from inflammation of theeyeltd, and effects a speedy
cure. Wallace DkWolf,
Chicago. April 7th, 1884. 184 Dearborn Street.
