The existence of Japan was announced to

an untimely grave. Shake off the feeling of
despair and hopelessness, so liable to come
upon the invalid. The plant born of the Sun
we place within the reach of all. We care
not what may be the specific form Of the dis
ease. The cause, the fountain Of the disease
itself, is impure blood, and through the diff
ferent channels of the lungs, the stomach and
the vital organs, JUDSON'S MOUNTAIN

blood, search out and grasp and then expel,
all hurtful poison that there is in it. Thus

Pills, and disease, in any form, will dissipate
and vanish. As the Sun, with its glorious
beams first causes the morning dew to rise as

UnEted States senator.

One Of the issues depending on the
late State election was that of a successor
to VIM. B.gler IN the L. S. Senate. We
did not at any time doubt Il at the Leg.
%islaturc would be largely Republican on
the contrary, we rather feared the major
ity would be too large Tor the welfare Of
the party. Too great success is apt to
relax the energy of a party though this
is less true of popular majorities than of
representative. We trust, however, that
the action Of the Legislature elect will
be such as to put it out of the reach of
reproach from this or any other point of
view, Many sterling men have been re-
turned by the people; while many of the
new members, in either House, are men of
prominence and good repute at home,
and will doubtless serve this constituents
with fidelity and honor, while preserving
their party fealty intact. The election
Of a Senator will test their party sincerity
and at the same time prove their repre-.
sentative sagacity. To select a man for
that post who will be an honor to the
body in which he is to set, and at the
same time a candid, firm and unfinching
representative of State interests and party
principles, is 40 light undertaking and
requires political sagacity, moral frmpess

What a sad history is thisl And yet, how
common! Ever, too, in one respect the same

mons he always obeys. There may have been
a foregoing nurderous intention, or not.
Hate and passion may have lifted the burning
glass to the lips, IL order that the hend wl'h-

ened to seize the dagger, the pistol or the
torch. Or there may have been nothing OF
this kind, and murder may have come only OF
the madness eugsndered by the bowl. In
either case, the stimulant is the working
cause of the crime. There might be piety il

The Popular Vote fOT Congress
HRCn.

Below we have carefully prepared from
the official returns a table exhibiting the
popular vote for Members of Congress IN
this State, from which it will be seen that
while some 10 ISL less votes were cast
for Governor, (total vote for Governor,
492,642), the popular majority for Re-
publican congressman, over all opposi-
ton, exceeds that for Governor by 1898
votes. This fact is significant of the
popular feeling in the keystone State
with respect to the great issue Of Free
uersus Slave labor. We are indebted to
the State Sentinel, a Douglas paper pub
lished at Harrisburg, for most of the
above figures, ourself correcting the fig
ures in this and the XXIVth district.

How Can a Free Pulpit be Sc
CIppI.

SA6kSAs
The following statement which we take
from the n. Y. Ere. Post, deserves the
serious attention Of all persons who desire
present sins to be fearlessly rebuked:
CAT the recent Unitarian Convention in
Massachusetts, Rev. Mr.. Pierront expressed
his sentiments on the free lom of the pulpit
with great boldness. No man who is a man
The sadly can stand in Il Unitarian pulpit and
speak out his whole mind. If he attempts it,
there will be found three men in his congre-
CATION who viii use their efforts with success
to unhorse him. One shall be a manufactur-
er or seller Of intoxicating drink, and another
a political trader, and the third interested in
some way in cotton. He alluded to his own
Iabors as a pioneer in the West; but maintain
ed that there is everywhere a want Of free
dom ON the part of the preachers. They can
not attack sin that now exists, but arc only
allowed to d~enounce the Scribes and Phari-
sees. He would thank anybody who could
see how there can be a tree pulpit to tell him
Of the way"
Mr.. Pierpont being a Unitarian, very
naturally spoke OF Unitarian pulpits but
the same difficulty is apparent in every
large denomination. Now and then a
minister is tco bold, and determined not
to be fettered in speech, wiU say what he
thinks the times require to be said. But
such a minister will meet with constant
persecution and trouble from the members
of his own church SO that all those min
listers who love ease, and quiet, and pros
perity in the church, simply preach
against the Scribes, and let rum-drinkers,
and baby-stealers take the front seats.
So long as this state Of things continues,
so long as laymen, and aven those making
no profession of religion, are terUent an
,corhiny for Temperance and other need
cd reforms; 1t will be difficult to induce
thinking people to increase their attach
ment for the Church. We should be glad
to see an immediate change in this respect
all over the country, aud especially in this
county, we should like to see the various
churches commanding the respect and
confidence of all the people, by their &C.
tivity in every practical measure for the
good Of community. To secure this de.
