A Hollow Lio.
From 18‘4 to 1871, ns well as for
some years before and after, the Re
publicans enjoyed full control of both
branches of Congress, B'ehuylcr Col
fax, of Credit Mobilier notoriety, was
Speaker of the House from December
7, 1868, to March 3, 186!*, and was suc
ceeded by James G. Blaine, who held
the office until March 3, 1875.
From 1861 to 1876' these successive"
Republican Congresses voted away
296,000,000 acres of the choicest public
lands as subsidies to railroad corpora
tions. Does the reader realize the
magnitude of t s ne figures? New York
is an extensive State, its area being 80,-
800,000 acres. Nearly ten such States
could be established from the public
territory bestowed—most of it corrupt
ly on favored rings of speculators by
the representatives of the grand old
parly of Colfax and Blaine.
It was on account of his ruling which
saved one of those grants at a critical
moment that Blaine wrote his memora
ble letter to Fisher, reciting his services
and claiming his compensation therefor.
Ostensibly the public domain was
thus squandered in order to hasten the
development of the West and to open
up markets for the hardy agricultural
pioneer. The first grant ot all was cer
tainly voted to assist in the completion
of what was then deemed a military
necessity for the preservation of the
Union; but the subsequent large grants,
almost without exception, were palpable
steals which were carried through Con
gress by wholesale bribery. In many
instances the bribe of votes was paid in
stock or bonds of the embryo railroad
whose capital was to be furnished
wholly from the sale of the lands
sought for.
These lavish subsidies so stimulated
railroad construction as to make it the
prime factor in precipitating the panic
of 1873. The completion of some of the
lines was checked; others were never
begun at all. Consequently, under the
saving clauses inserted in the grants
through the efforts of Congressman
Holman and a handful of faithful col
leagues, many millions of the misap
propriated acres have become forfeit to
the Government. During the past four
years, Representatives Holman, Cox,
Payson and others have labored
zealously to make the forfeitures ef
fective, but the Republicans have had
recourse to every subterfuge and even
fraud in order to keep the unearned
lands in possession of the corporate
beneficiaries. We say “fraud” de
liberately, for no milder word is ap
propriate to the action of Jay Gould’s
puppet and Blaine’s henchman Reed, of
Maine, who with the aid of Keifer,
smothered in the last Congress the com
mittee report, recommending the for
feiture of Gould’s Texas Pacific 13,400,-
000-acre grab, which it was his duty as
Chairmen to present to the House.
, By dint of tireless agitation of this
subject for live years, and the publicity
given to it by honest newspapers, the
people have now come to appreciate its
importance, and we find the Chicago
Republican Convention unblushingly
adopting the subjoined resolution:
The public lands are a heritage of the peo
ple of the United States, and should be re
served, as far as possible, for small holdings
•by actual settlers. We are opposed to the ac
quisition of large tractß of these lands by cor
porations oi individuals, especially where
isuch holdings are in the hands of non-resident
aliens, and we will endeavor to obtain such
legislation as will tend to correct this evil. We
demand of vongross the speedy forfeiture of
all land grants which have lapsed by reason
of non compliance will) Acts of incorpora
tion, in all cases where there has been no at
tempt in (rood faith to perform the conditions
of such grants.
Of whttt value is such a promise ema
nating from such a source? It is the
pledge of the fox to restore lint chickens
it has eaten. The last Republican Con
gress voted down every forfeiture re
sol tion submitted to it. We see the
Republicans in the present House ab
senting themselves and preventing a
quorum when a forfeiture bill is called
up. We see the Republican Senate
smothering the more important for
feiture bills which the Democrats in the
House have contrived to pass We see
the Interior Department, with the
sanction of the President, issuing bush
els of patents for railroad lands never
lawfully earned. Does anybody im
agine for a moment that Blaine would
introduce a different policy?
The Gouhi-Huntington (Texas Pa
cific) land grant alone, for which not a
sol tary mile of rail ha-t ever been laid,
is valued at $40,000,000. It is not then
surprisipg that the corridors of the Cap
itol are over-run with lobbyists zealous
ly striving to defeat the forfeitures. De
nouncing them openly in the House,
Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, Chairman of the
Public Lands Committee, said: “ 1 have
no doubt that, had 1 so desired it, I could
| have secured one million dollars for con
verting my committee to a non-forfeit
ing policy!"
Where hundreds of millions are at
stake, the land-grant grabbers will not
hesitate to provide ample “soap” for
the election of Blaine. They know him,
and they know that the platform pledge
is a holiow lie.— N. Y. Star.
A Recalcitrant Republican Newspaper.
James G. Blaine has at length cap
tured a Presidential nomination from
the Republican party. After having
been rejected twice, he is now accepted
at the demand of the “Eurrah boys”
of the West, and by the active com
bination of the jobbing elements in
the community. Mr. Blaine is a man
of attractive and showy qualities which
appeal strongly to popular feeling, but
there are few men who have spent
careers of equal length and eminence
in the public service who could not
show a better record of worthy achieve
ments. What great measure has he
originated or championed, and with
what great cause has he identified him
self? Apart from the war questions,
on which he could not well go wrong,
where has he stood in the later issues?
He invented the word “Stalwart,”
and vaunted a stern policy toward the
South until the Haves Administration
swept it ail away. He is for the main
tenance of the high tariff and the
ridiculous distribution of the surplus to
the States He has always opposed
Ciril-Servioe Reform, which was
adopted in spite of his act ve hostility
and acrid sneers. The most prominent
features of Mr. Blaine’s parliamentary
and diplomatic career are the succes
sion of celebrated scandals compromis
ing his character as a legislator with
corporation interests: the policy of in
tervention between Chili and Peru in
behalf of the latter country, and his
general disposition to advocate startling
and showy schemes, awakened the dis
trust of the business classes. The Re
publican party, dazzled with the quali
ties which please the mob, have placed
this man in nomination, thereby giving
to the Democratic party the greatest
opportunity it has ever had to recover
power by nominating some clean, able,
safe and progressive statesman like
Grover Cleveland or Thomas F. Bayard.
New York is the vital State, and the
nomination of Cleveland, with his views
in favor of revenue reform and Civil-
Service reform, his conservative regard
for moneyed interests and his efficient
administration, would undoubtedly win
the support of the Independent vote.
If the Democrats, on the other hand,
make a doubtful nomination, then it
will necessitate a third party nomina
tion. But if the Democrats will only
rise to the magnitude of their oppor
tunity, they will make a strong appeal
to the plain people, who prefer an un
sullied, honorable and safe leader to
a demagogue of the speculative school
of pretended statesmanship.—Spring
field Republican.
Blaine.
The Republican National Conven
tion has nominated Mr. Blaine for
President on the fourth ballot. Re
fusing to adopt any less conspicuous
and less objectionable person, turning
out of doors all the dark horses and the
petty schemers, the Convention gave
itself and committed the waning for
tunes of its party to the only conspicu
ous leader now remaining who figured in
the history of its earlier, its better, and,
alas, also of its later and worser days.
A great many Republicans are op
posed to Mr. Blaine. Some of them
would reject him on account of the
stains upon his public career, as exem
plified in the transactions of the Mulli
gan letters; but there are others, and
their objection is of greater pertinency
and effect in the present condition of
our affairs, who repudiate him on ac
count of his crazy notions and Quixotic
policy when he was Secretary of State.
But those who imagine that, because
of such disaffection, the country is now
to witness a spiritless canvass, and an
easy triumph for the Opposition, are,
iu our judgment, very much in error.
Mr. Blaine is a fertile land sensational
politician, and he will force the fighting
from the start. Moreover, a party in
power is always hard to beat;
and the Republican party can out
do in this respect all others that
ever existed outside of Mexico. As Mr.
Tilden said years ago, the opposition
can not elect its President with less
than a majority of two-thirds; and this
wise observation is as true now as when
it was first uttered. It will not be
enough to defeat Mr. Blaine at the
polls; it will not be enough to have
against him- an immense majority of
the people; it will not be enough to
have a majority of the Electoral Col
leges. Fraud and force will be brought
into play by the Republican officehold
ers in 1884 just as freely as they were
in 1876. Mr. Blaine is a man of des
perate expedients. His party is a des
perate party.
So far as the Republicans are con
cerned, the issue of the election is fixed,
and it remains to be proved whether
the Democrats have the wisdom to meet
it successfully. The sins of the Repub
lican party are so great, the corruption
of its rule is so extreme, its history for
these many years has been so revolting,
that, with prudent councils, a good
candidate, and a judicious and patriotic
platform, the Democracy may now win
a great victory for the country. But
we warn theni that it will be no holi
day task, that every point will be hotly
contested, and that every advantage
they may gain will have to be fought
for in tremendous earnest.— N. Y. Sun.
Damn ‘d with Very Faint Applause. J
The nomination of James G. Blaine
for President unquestionably gratifies a
large majority of the Republican voters.
In forcing that nomination, however,
while his friends have displayed a
fidelity and courage which must extort
admiration, we fear that they have
acted at the same time with a reckless
ness which may not only bring defeat
to their party, but political ruin to their
beloved leader and fearless champion;
for, while representing, without doubt,
a very large majority of the Republic
ans of the whole country, Mr. Blaine
does not represent, has never repre
sented, and probably never will repre
sent that considerable portion of his
party which is governed by principle
rather than sentiment, and without
whose votes no Republican candidate
for President cau be elected. If this
election can be carried by dash and en
thusiasm and splendid leadership, the
event may possibly justify the audacity
of Mr. Blaine’s friends at Chicago, but
the chances are fearfully against him.
His character has been so malignantly
blackened and distorted by the news
paper organs of the present Adminis
tration during the strife for the nomina
tion, and it i s apparently so Impossible
for the indiscreet and unscrupulous
friends of Mr. Arthur to support him
that the fight for Mr. Blaine must be a
sort of forlorn hope at the best, a fight
only to be won by sheer desperation aid
ed by wonderful luck.—Bu (July Express.
An Indecorous Defeat.
With Arthur as the candidate the
party would probably go to decorous
defeat. But with Blaine either success
or failure will bring disgrace. His elec
tion, is the improbable event of his be
ing able to pull through, would pass
from Arthur to himself the unenviable
distinction of being the last of the Re
publican Presidents. The party could
not survive a Blaine Administration,
even if it triumphed over a Blaine nom
ination. If, however, the Democrats
should improve the opportunity offered
in Blaine's candidacy by nominating
Bayard or Cleveland, a “respectable
winding up” would be denied to the
Republican organization. It would go
down in the smoke ami smell of a fail
ure made disgraceful not by the defeat,
but by the occasion of the defeat.—Bos

TIIE STAGE-DRIVER'S STORY.
Hew General Scott’s Life Was S»»rd and
Hew His Driver Twice Escaped
Death.
The traveler of the present day, as he is
hurried along by the lightning express, in
its buffet ears and palace sleepers, seldom
reverts in thought to the time when the
stage coach and packet were the only
nveaus c£ communication between distant
points. It is rare that one of the real old
time stage drivers is met with now-s-dsn
and when the writer recently ran across
Fayette Haskell, of Lockport, N. Y., he
felt like a bibliographer over the discovery
of some rare volume of “forgotten lore.”
Mr. Haskell, although on* of the pioneers
in stage driving (he formerly ran from
Lewiston to Niagara Falls and Buffalo) ia
hale and hearty and bids fair to live for
many years. The strange stories of his
early adventures would fill a volume. At
one time when going down a mountain
near Lewiston with no less a personage
than General Bcott as • passenger, the
brakes gave way and the coach came on
the heels of the wheel horses. The only
remedy was to whip the leaders to a gal
lop. Gaining additional momentum with
each revolution of tho wheels the coach
swayed and pitched down the mountain
side and into the streets of Lewiston.
Straight ahead at the foot of tho steep hill
flowed the Niagara River, towards which
the four horses dashed, apparently to cer
tain death. Yet the firm hand never re
laxed its hold nor the clear brain its con
ception of what must be done in the emer
gency, On dashed the horses until the
narrow dock was reached on the river bank,
when by a masterly exhibition of nerve
and daring, the coach was turned in scarce
its own length and tho horses brought to a
stand still before the pale lookers-on could
realize what had occurred. A purse was
raised by General Scott and presented to
Mr. Haskell with high compliments for his
skill and bravery.
Notwithstanding all his strength and
his robust constitution the strain of con
tinuous work and exposure proved too
much for Mr. Haskell’s constitution. The
constant jolting of tbe coach and the neces
sarily cramped position in which he was
obliged to sit, contributed to this end, and
at times he was obliged to abandon driving
altogether.
Speaking of this period he said:
“ I found it almost impossible to sleep at
night; my appetite left mo entirely and I
had a tired feeling which I never know be
fore and could not account for.”
“Did you give up driving entirely?”
“ No. 1 tried to keep up but it was only
with the greatest effort. This state of
things continued for nearly twenty years
until last October when I went all to
pieces.”
“ In what way?”
“Oh, I doubled all up; could not walk
without a cane and was incapable of any
effort or exertion. I had a constant desire
to urinate both day and night and although
I felt like passing a gallon every ten min
utes only a few drops could escape and
they thick with sediment. Finally it
ceased to flow entirely and I thought death
was very near.”
“ What did you do then?”
“What I should have done long before:
listen to my wife. Under her advice I be
gan a new treatment.”
“ And with what result?”
“Wonderful. It unstopped the closed
passages and what was still more wonder
ful regulated the flow. The sediment van
ished: my appetite returned and I am now
well and good for twenty more years wholly
through the aid of Warner’s Safe Cure
that has done wonders for me as well as
for so many others.”
Mr. Haskell’s experience is repeated ev
ery day in the lives of thousands of
American men and women. An unknown
evil is undermining the existence of an in
numerable number who do not realize the
danger they are in until health has entire
ly departed and death perhaps stares them
in the face. To neglect such important
“'matters is like drifting in the current of
Niagara above tho Falls.
She Was Artless and She Was Rind.
He was a married man, blessed—or,
the opposite, as the reader may deter
mine—with an extremely jealous wife.
One evening not long since he seized a
chance opportunity to do escort to a
charming miss of sweet sixteen, whose
blue eyes and dark drooping lashes
exercised a glamour over every man
who happened to come within range of
their charm. At last her home was
reached, and as they paused at the gate
the maiden turned her lovely orbs full
upon him and said:
•‘I am so grateful for your kindness,
sir!”
‘‘Don’t mention it, I beg of you,” he
ejaculated, gallantly.
Very likely t he unsophisticated maiden
misunderstood the motive of his re
mark, for she quickly answered, in a
reassuring tone:
“Oh, I certainly won't, sir, as long as
I live, if you don’t wish me to! ” —Low

as my only family medicine, and my doc
tor’s bills have not amounted to five dol

dreds of boxes of Brandreth’s Pills;
with thorn I have cured my boys ani girls

Mumps, Diarrhoea and Constipation. I
have recommended them to hundreds of
other families, and never knew them to
fail where ever they were used for
disease of any kind. When my wife
was seventy-three years old she was
troubled with a very bad Cough, and
it looked as if she would die
with Consumption. She would not call in
a doctor, but commenced taking Brand
reth’s Pills, two and three every night.
In three weeks she was completely cured
of her cough, and her general health is very
good. I am sure that Brandreth’s Pills
have preserved and prolouged our lives.

KENNEDY’S FAVORITE REMEDY,
which had worked so successfully in the
father’s case. Mr. Hicks, who had been
assured by the local physicians that they
could do nothing more for him, tried FA
VORITE REMEDY. After two weeks’ use
of it he passed a stone X of an inch long
and of the thickness of a pipe-stem. Since
theq he has had no symptoms of the return
of the trouble. Here is a sick man healed.
What better results could have been ex
pected? What greater benefit could medi
cal science confer? The end was gained;
that is surely enough. Dr. Kennedy as
sures the public, by a reputation which he
can not afford to forfeitor imperil, that the
FAVORITE REMEDY does invigorate the
blood, cures liver, kidney andbladder com
plaints, as well as nil those diseases and
weaknesses peculiar to females.

“WHAT HON. J. C. BURROWS SAYS.”
For more than five years past a member of my fami
ly has been afflicted with Hay Fever, culminating late
In the fall with a hacking cough, which would Increase
in severity until the return of warm weather. Every
remedy proved futile, and relief was only found In a
change of climate. There was a recurrence of the dif
ficulty last fall, attended with the usual rough and
violent protracted sneezing. Not half a bottle of Pap-
Illon Catarrh Cure had been used before the cough en
tirely disappeared, ami general relief followed. It la
simply wonderful! Don't fall to try It.
