Universal Medicine
Of the British College Of Health.

WEE have the pleasure TO announce
w to the public, that we have just re
ceived large supply Of the above named
medicines. These medicines have oh.
tanned, both in this country and in Eng
land, most astonishing reputation -
They have been used with great success
in almost every disease to which the hu-
man system is subject. The leading
principles of the Hygeian or Morrison
theory Of disease. are contained in the
following propositions.
LIST. The vital principle is contained in
the Blood. Cd. Every thing in tho body
is derived from the Blood. Sd. All dis
eases arise from the impurity in the Blood.
4th. Pain and disease have the same orr
gin, may therefore be considered synoni
nous terms. 9th Purgation by vegeta.
b,es is the only effectual mode of purify
ing the blood. and eradcating disease.
We have sold these medicines in this
county for some time. and can give the
testimony of some of the most respect,
bic citizens Of the county, as to their good
qualities. We confidently recommend
them TO the public as good article in
common diseases,

THE CHARACTER OF THE EDITOR OF
THE GLOBE-THE PROOF.

.
In the official organ Of the 22d inst,, the
editor said,
They, (Mr. Wise and his frends,) Judged right
W seems, IN supposiag that Mr.. WHITNEY, as agent
q NE banks eas piliag 10 bring their money and an
Faenes 10 bear on politics"
AT the very time the editor gave utterance
to the above, il appears he had in his posses
sion letter written to himself by Mr.. Whit
ney, in which he took the ground contained in
the following extract:
81 have already stated to you, that am deter
mined opponent to increasing the number OF the de-
posite banks unnecessarily. will now 60 farther
and state that think the deposite system should be
kept aloof from politicshat there should be per-
feet reciprocity between the Government and the de-
posiie banks upon this subect-tha while the latter
should rigidy require from all the depose banks
ever to abstain from meddling with politics parties
in any way, il should be equally scrupulous in
keeping itself disconnected entirely with those banks,
excepting for its fiscal operations. | consider it
would be derogatory 10 its character to permit the
public money to be employed In building up new
banks, or in establishing the credit OF those already
in existence. Equally detrimental to the whoesys-
tenn would consider il to be- IL banks should, al any
time, be selected when not called for for the conve
nience Of the fiscal operations Of the Treasury, and
al popularity or individual an bition."
The letter was dated January 18th, 1896.
These facts speak for themselves, and re-
quire no comment. to- r."

BITING TRUTHS.

We take the following from the old Demo-
cratic paper, the American Sentinel, which,
for many years, carried greater influence with
the old fashioned Democratic Republican par
ty than any other paper published in the Key
Stone State.
We think, tina, the case of the Bank of the United
States does, in most striking manner, prove that
the majority of the democratic party is not only liza
BILE to error but has erred, in case in which the
right could be known and determined at the time
when the decision was made as well as at any other
period. If the establishment of National Bank is
unconstitutional now, which is the ground assumed
by many democrats, it was unconstitutional in 1916.
And yet the administration, with large majority of
the democratic party, incorporated Bank Of the
United States, which few years before they had
refused to do, and which they now refuse to do And
it is more than probable judging from the signs of
the times, that before many years elapse, another
change will take place, when all good democrats
will be required, on pain of expulsion from the
ranks of the party, to be clamorous in favor of
National Bank as some OF our leaders were few
short years ago. or as they are now in opposition to
such measure. The democratic party has erred,
is not free from error, and never will be, until
men differently constituted; and TO insist that
every individual in il shall believe precisely what
majority in convention or town meeting shall declare
TO be right expedien is in our judgment, absurd.
Such party never did exist and never will. We
are as great Sticklers were for an adhe-
renee to party usages and party men-and have
shown our sincerity, by uniformly sustaining by our
votes for more than quarter of century, the prin-
cpes and the candidates Of the democratic party;
and too old to change, although we some
times find ourselves in strange company, and hear
strange doctrines advanced, orthodox democracy.
Among these doctrines the infallibilty OF the party
and the duty of believing in all things as the majo
rity of the party believes, not the least strange.
But this is the age OF Improvement; and we do not
know why Jefersonian democracy may not be inn
proved as well as every thing else
We agree with the Sentinel, and have al
ready expressed our belief that the time is not
far off "tchen all good Democrats ,ciH be re-
CURED, on pain Of erpulsion from the ranks Of
The party, 10 be clamorous in .taror Of Ma
tioaai Bank"
We have expressed the belief, and now re-
peat il, that will be the case before the next
Presidential election. hat is the reason
that they make the issue National Bank or
snb'treasury. If The party find by the result
OF the elections the approaching fall that they
cannot carry the Sub-treasury, we believe it is
their present intention then to come out for
National Bank. They are already passed
"the half way house" in making the United
States Bank of Pennsylvania the fiscal agent
Of the Government.

In addition, it says. "Mr. King resides on his farm
out Of The village where he intends to make his re-
sidence permanent and, Of course, the Office must
continue as it has been, 10 be confded 10 clerk
lie furthermore remarks, and properly too We think,
THAI Il was never designed that Deputy Postmasiers
should be permitted 10 farm out or sbeontract their
Offices TO individuals unknown 10 the Department,
else the appointing power would be virtually taken
from the Department, and lodged in the hands Of its
thousands Of subordinate officers"
Is not this part OF the Sub-treasury sys,em1 We
suppose Il must be as that is in full operation

THE POST OFFICE AND THE PRESS

The Ohio Star, published at Ravena, says, that
Mr.. King, the Postmaster in this town, is also the
publisher and proprietor if not in part the editor Of
party newspaper His paper is devoted to the in
terests of the administration We believe il is con-
trary 10 The uniform practice Of the Department, to
give the appointment Of Deputy Postmaster 10 the
editor and publisher of party party, unless such
editor or publisher sewers his connection with the
party press. Instance the of the Postmaster at
Detroit. Sheldon Midnight, the Postmaster in that
city, was formerly editor of the Detroit Free Press,
an administration paper, but when he received the
appointment Of Postmaster he resigned his connec-
ton with the paper"
