General John A. Logan’s letter o'i .Wf
eeptance, coming from the man who is
supposed to be a leading Republican
statesman, is a remarkable document.
It is a lumbering, awkward, cumber
some affair, reminding one of a freight
car bumping on cross-ties, and weigh
ing at the least calculation twenty
pounds to the inch. Its ideas are the
platitudes that have been oozing from
the country papers of the West for j
twenty years, and its style is that of a
school-boy who has never discovered
the difference between sound and sense,
lienee, we have the spectacle of a can
didate for Vice-President put forth by
the party of culture talking of those
who “have been welcomed to a home
in our midst,” and of a “stroke of
finesse.”
The Logan letter is a diluted para
phrase of the Republican platform, and
the dilution is weakened by a pro
miscuous use of words. From begin
ning to end there is not a spark of indi
viduality in it. We merely have a
glimpse of a tangle-haired man wander
ing in a bewildered way through amaze
of words. One can imagine the beads
of perspiration standing out on Logan’s
upper lip as he vainly attempted to ad
dress himself to the understanding of 1
those whose support he covets. The 5
fact that he had completed his letter '
several weeks ago was telegraphed at
the time, and one can well believe it
after reading the document. We
have no doubt that a kitchen edition of
this curious epistle was in circulation a
a few days alter the adjournment of the
Republican Convention; indeed the [
flavor of the letter suggests that it was
composed somewhere between the
kitchen and the horse-stable. It is
crude, coarse and rank, but these qual
ities do not redeem its essential weak
ness. Mr. Blaine’s letter is feeble be
cause ttie policy of those who stood at
his elbow placed, him under restraint,
but Logan is feeble because Logan is
feeble in his intellectual equipment.
A feeble man intellectually is gene
rally a rash man, and Logan’s reputa
tion, such as it is, is based on his rash
ness. He declares, among other things
(to take an example at rSbdoml, that
polygamy is a Democratic institution;
but so serene a philosopher as Emerson
claims it as an offshoot of Puritan. It
is almost sacrilegious to couple the
name of Emerson with that of the
coarse-grained political freebooter Lo
gan. and we have hardly the excuse of
necessity in this instance; for Logan’s
fulminations are of no more importance
than those of a cowboy on the Western
border.
His description of the condition of af
fairs in the South is amusing, though it
is strictly on the line of argument em
ployed by M. Halstead, of Cincinnati.
We judge from Logan’s terrific remarks
that there are States in the South'—
Commonwealths in fact -where the
negroes are -o numerous that they are
hanging over the edges, clinging by
their eye brows and holding on with
their teeth. Logan is doubtless of the
opinion that he is the inventor of the
theory that all the ‘negroes vote the
Republican ticket at every election, and
he is inclined to lift the bloody shirt on
high on that issue; but the theory was
invented by Eli Perkins to pad out a
summer almanac. If Logan desires to
get the negroes interested in voting, as
thby were when freedom was a novelty,
he should come down and loctuie them.

A Republican Campaign Document,
Mr. Blaine’s letter accepting the Re
publican nomination for the Presidency
will be a disappointment to those of hfs
Republican admirers who expected an
admixture of dash and brilliancy in the
composition, for there is nothing in it
that is especially or ginal or strking.
It is evidently designed a- a Repub
lican campaign document, and to the
protectionist element who consti
tute much the larger portion of the
party, will on the whole be satisfactory.
The tariff reformers who still linger in
the Republican camp can not, however,
fail to feel uncomfortable at the promi
nence given it and stress laid upon the
doctrine of protection, which the Presi
dential candidate seems to regard as the
great issue of the campa'gn.
The views of Mr. Blaine on the tariff
are set forth at great length, but an ex
amination of his utterances shows that
on this great question he has merely
strung together a lot of cheap protec
tion platitudes. He states in the
course of his letter many facts, the ex
istence of which he attributes to the
beneficial influence of the policy of pro
tection; although there are many better
reasons to account for the condition of
things than that winch he holds up as
the true one. In this respect, however,
he but adopts the protectionist line of
argument. He talks of free-trade soph
istries, yet uses all of the protection
sophistries - sophistries which there will
be ample time to expose and explode
during the campaign.
Mr. Blaine speaks of the Republican
method of tariff - red iction, and con
trasts it with the Democratic, after the
manner of the Republican resolut on on
the tariff’. The party and the candidate
alike forgot the Republican method of
tariff reform a dozen years ago, when
the scheme of a horizontal reduction of
ten per cent, was adopted as the best
available means of reducing the then
surplus and lightening the burdens of
the people.
There are other features of Mr.
Blaine’s letter which will re eive atten
tion from time to time. For the pres
ent it will be sutficent to say that the
Democracy a e quite willing to accept
the gage of battle on the tariff question,
though they will not permit their posi
tion to be misstated by their adversaries.
They will show that the condition of
labor is not as depicted by Mr. Blaine;
and that the sc-called protective sys
tem has led to the starvation wages in
many parts of the country. They will
show not merely one, but scores of tariff
abuses whose effect has been to pamper
and troteot monopolists and to crush
labor. They will show how millions
are unne essarily wrung from the peo
ple in taxes —milli ns which only go to
pile up an immense surplus in the
Treasury and are available for no pub
lic purpose, for there are ample re
sources without them. They will show
in short that the so-oalled protective
system is a pretentious fraud.— Dtlroit

Unless Mr. Blaine vio'ates good
taste bv taking an active part in the
present campaign, his letter may be re
garded in the light of a Farewell Ad
dress — Baltimore Day.
The Mulligan letters show that
Mr. Blaine marketed his rulings as
Speaker at a valuation of hundreds of
thousands of dollars to a wild-cat rail
way company—and got the money.- -
Albany Argus.
Blaine was active in turning tba
Republican party over to the Know
Nothings when the cry of down with
the foreigner was raised. Still we are
informed by certain fools that the Irish
will vote for Blaine.
There have been two or three
prominent Republican oflieials in the
past twelve years who have proposed to
turn the rascals out, but in the end the

Nothing in this campaign has
been more amusing than Elkin's vouch
er. “ Mr. Blaine knows all about the
proprieties.” Belknay should match it
with a certificate about the “equities,”
and Kellogg with one about the “seraci
ties.”—Exchanqc.
The New York Tribune, under
its present editor, in the winter of 1873,
denounced Blaine “as a bribe-taker and
a bully.” The change wrought iu it
since was not a change of heart, and
William Walter Phelps, who made the
change, knows just what did it
As poor Logan reads the com
ments on his letter of acceptance he
must not fail to rememi er that it was
the New York Tribune winch drew at
tention to his eminent claim to the Irish
vole, based on the allegation that he
was uot even on speaking terms with
the English language. 7 'he Argus.
By setting up a veto shop in the
White House Mr. Blaine could treble
liis salary every month Congress was
in session, and lie is just the man to do
it. But the approvals that can be
bought and the vetoes that can be 6old
are not the kind the honest men of tho
United States desire.— Exchange.
Mr. Blaine’s long-delayed and
much-labored letter of acceptance is at
last before the public. The lengl hof the
document is inordinate, and if it is an
example of what he will be capable, in
the way of elaborate composition, when
lie becomes President, we are a raid the
newspapers will at once cool toward
him.— Ltica Press.
Black Jack Logan addressed a
post of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic at Minneapolis, Minn., last week,
and having inadvertently delivered him
self of a grammatical sentence, an en
thusiastic admirer was so struck by the
fact that he could not tvait till the
speaker was done to congratulate him
on his success, but blurted the fact
right out in meeting. —Richmond To.,
State.
Mr. Blaine de dares that “he is
not one who proves a deadhead in any
enterprise;” in other words, lie is “on
the make.” The Presidency could be
made the source of more entirely infa
mous wealth to a man who could venal
ize it than any other place in the coun
try. A man who will administer it hon
estly, not one who would market the
patronage aud its powers over legisla
tion, is desired by the people. — N. Y.

The Independents.
The Independents have gone to work
like a very earnest, sincere and prac
tical body of men, and show a disposi
tion not to pursue one candidate with
any venom born of disappointment or
bestow upon the other superlative
pra se to justify their own course, but
simply to treat both sides and their pre
tentions strictly upon their merits. Tha
Independents are in a position to em
phasize, even more than the Demo
crats, the glaring unfitness of the Re
publican candidate on the point of
character alone for the high position to
which he aspires. The obj< ctions that
these men present to the gratification of
Blame's ambition, can not be whisked
aside as “Democratic lies.” They are
not manufactured as campaign capital,
but have existed so long and so
definitely that these men are for the
time being, at least, driven from the
party with which they have almost al
ways acted. There is one issue, that
Blaine, his organs and def nders try"to
avoid, and that is the very issue which
the Independents will press home.
Moreover, it is the issue that must be
settled before the self-respecting citi
zens of this country can consider any
thing else. He may be smart: he may
brilliant; he may be magnetic; but is
lie honest? The overwhelming testi
mony of wjjat has already been made
public concerning his transactions is to
the contrary. He has med high official
trust for private gain. He has solic ted
the recognition that attacks to valua
ble consideration for certain official acts
in the interests of corporations or indi
viduals. He has cariied his country to
the venre of a broil with a’friendly re
public in order to advance private
claims. As in the case of the Northern
Pacific, he has “kept his eye skinned”
for opportunities that he could make
special use of as a high official with
large authority. All this is not only
popularly bel eved of Blaine, but it is
believed by men of the keenest intelli
gence and the most careful methods in
both political parties, and upon the
strength of extensive evidence. This
belief is strengthened by the pains that
he and liis supporters are taking, not to
demolish it wi h stronger counter
evidence. but to laugh it down or ignore
it—at all events to dodge it. That is
the condition of things that is at the
bottom of the Independent movement,
ml so it becomes more particularly the
udepinder.t issue. It is large enough
of itself to conduct the campaign to
Blame’s defeat. If he is a pure and
honest man, then he is one of the most
unfortunate, but, in that eveot, he
should not run away from the issue,
for it will pursue aud" have it out with
him before the campaign is ended.—

Productive Powers of a Hen.
The productive powers of a hen de

hen has a certain number of germs of
ovules in the ovary at birth and that
these mature during certain periods of
her life, is simply b sh. It is a base

ovules exist, at what time were they

This is a paral el misstatement k> that
in regard to the hen. The at stfali.y is

it, and one s absurd as the other. The
fact is, ihe hen at birth has no appar

the chick grows and increases in age
and si/.e, from the ordinary ceil growth,
by wli ch the bone, muscle and other
parts oi the fowl are produced from
the blood, which is made from the
food. Iho food is eaten and digested
and changed into blood; the blood lorms

tissue of the animal is built up. If the
food is not sumcieiit l'orall the dt mands

then its sustenance is added to, b t its
reprod naive, fund ons are not com

not lay eggs unless fully fed, simply
because the ovules in the ovary can not
be iormed without the necessary sub
stance, which must come from the
blood; and these ovules are formed by
an abundant growth of tissues in pro
portion to the supply of food. The bet
ter a lien s fed and the more, judicious
care bestowed upon her, the more eggs
she will produce. As some hens have
been known to loy over ,oOU eggs in

that a large numoer ot ovules must

Balm of '(Snead is a plant of the genus
amyns. Its leaves yield, when bruised,
a strong, aromatic scent. From this
plant is obtained the Balm of Gilead of
the shops, the balsam of Mecca or of
Syria. This has a yellowish or green
ish color, a warm anil somewhat bitter
taste, and a fragrant smell. It is valued
as an odoriferous ointment or cosmetic
by the Turks, who possess the country
in which it is produced, aud from its
scarcity and value often adulterate it
for the market. The amyris is a low tree
or shrub growing in several parts of
Abyssinia aud Syria. It has spreading,
crooked branches, small, bright green
leaves growing in threes, small white
flowers on seperate footstalks. The
petals are four in number, and the fruit
is a small, egg-shaped berry, containing
a smooth nut. To obtain the
juice the bark of the tree is out
with an ax at the time when its
sap is in its strongest circulation. Aji
the juices ooze through the wound*
they are received into small earthen
bottles, every day’s produce being
poured into large bottles and corked.
When fresh, the smell of the balsam is
exquisitely fragrant, but if left exposed
to the atmosphere or in a bottle un
corked, it loses this quality. The quan
tity of balsam yielded by one tree is
said never to exceed sixty drops in a
day. It is, therefore, very scarce, and
can with difficulty be procured in a pure
and unadulterated state even at Con
stantinople. Its stimulating properties
upon the skin are such that the face of
a person unaccustomed to use it be
comes red and swollen after its applica
tion and continues so for several days.

Dear Sir: I think It Is due to you that I should
make the following statement, and 1 make It volun
tarily and willingly; Onthe4th day of June, 1881, I
was taken with what was called paralysis of the
bowels. The seizure was unexpected aiid terrible.
The stomach and other organs seemed to sympathize
with it and to have lost all power of action. Fora
long time my life was despaired of, but at length Ire
covered so far as to he able torideouf. By the advice
of my physician I visited Poland Springs (Vt.), hoping
.to benefit from the waters. But they did me no good.
Neither were the best physicians of Lowell and Bos
ton, whom I consulted, able to afford me more than
transient relief. I gained no strength audmy ease ap
peared almost hnprless. In the Fall a friend advised
me to try KF.V.VKI, Y’N FAVOItITi: KEME
-1»V, and although opposed to patent medicines, I
made the trial. To make a long story short—FA
VORITE IS EM Ell V, in my opinion, saved my
life. I consider It *6» best orenaration In the world
for stomach difficulties, as well'as of the Liver and
other organs. lam glad to say it Is In general use

Hardened Liver.
Five years ago 1 broke down with kidney
and liver complaint and rheumatism.
Since then I have been unable to be about
at all. My liver became hard like wood;
my limbs were pulled up and filled with
water.
All the best physicians agreed that noth
ing could cure me. I resolved to try Hop*
Bitters; I have used seven bottles; the hard
ness has all gone from my liver, the swell
ing from my limbs, and it has worked a.
miracle in my case; otherwise! would have
been now in my grave. J. W. Mobey,
Buffalo, Oct. 1, 1881.
Poverty and Suffering.
‘I was dragged down with debt, poverty
and suffering for years, caused by a sick
family and large bills for doctoring.
“I was completely discouraged, until onO
year ago, by the advice of my pastor, I com
menced using Hop Bitters, and in one month
we were all well, and none of us have seen
a sick day since, and I want to say to all
poor men, you can keep your families well
a year with Hop Bitters for less than one
doctor’s visit will cost I know it” —A
Working max.
