The Morning Star Mill cleaned up

There is q disposition among the

that they are prolific Of more rp@s

WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED TREA.
soN.-In on article published in the
San Francisco Flag, sweet-scented
negro. suffrage sheet, entitled "Let
him be Impeached," occurs the fol.
lowing paragraph:
"The headstrong course Of Johnson thus
far authorizes the assumption that there are
no bounds to his usurpatiDg audacity With
out any Of the higher attributes of Il states
man, destitute of prudence and impelled by
pig .headedness intensified by habitual in
toxication, he is capable of proceeding to
any extremity Of self-important folly 20
that With the belligerency peculiar to drunk
en- men, and with the self-conceit belonging
to ignorant mediocrity, he will scarcely hes
itate to charge upon the National Congress
with the beadlong recklessness of an angry
bull. The recent action of Congress shows
that the demented inebriate will be met and
repulsed with equal alacrity and determina-
ton, and that at the very first opportunity
he will be broughtto an accountability such
as has never been required Of an American
President. With reformation of his per-
sonal department and an abatement Of his
overbearing and tyrannical disposition, the
Presidential sot will not run through an
other year without a formal impeachment
by authority of Congress. He is already
impeached and stands arraigned at the bar
of public opinion as common drunkard, an
assoc ate of traitors, an enemy of Universal
freedom, thrall of enlightened legislation,
recreant to the principles which he hypo-
critically professed, and personal and Of
fetal disgrace to situation which was OBJ
tanned under the CORY auspices of assassina-
tion."
1t is good thing that the wretch
who penned the above is hot recog
nized by the Union party of Callfor-
mia. Indeed, such paper would damn
any organization to which it would
attach itself. The traitorous william
deserves to be incarcerated in the
darkest dungeon in Fort Lafayette.
Two years ago, had any paper dared
to call the President an usurper, this
same dirty whelp would have shouted
traitorI AlcatrazI Fort Lafayette
Now the table is turned. Because
President johnson will not be a party
to what he no doubt honestly consid.
ers infractions of the fundamental law
of tho land. be is vilifed by this mis-
cradle black-mailer who has just beer
released from the Sacramento county
Jail, whore he had been justly confn
ed by the California State Senate fol-
similar libelous articles.

II. Wade, who Is well acquainted with them-
n ~ -, WAsHINGToN, July 2, 1886.
DEAR SIR;-l am we'll acquainted with the stock
holders and mansgers OF he "Bahnemann, Life In
suiaDoe COMPANY" of Cley lud, OHIO, OF waicn
you are aotuarg, etc, and for which you are about
70 establish agencies in PeBnsy vanIa and several
othtr States. Most OF these gentlemen reside IN
Cleveland, and take pleasure in stating that they
are among the weathest and most reliable business
men OF our state. I company is organized in &C.

saer or better regulated insuuton can be found in

This company is the first in our country to extend
its lines, and to consider, among other causes tend
ing to increase or diminish the average period of
human life, the results of medical treatment.
1t Us surprising that ActuaIies of life insurance
should consider 1t necessary TO fix different rates of
premium for persons following one avOcatlon or
another, or travelling in direction or another,
while they pay no attention TO the effects of the
direct means employed to restore health and pro.
long life.
With an abundance of reliable statistics showing
the comparative results of different modes and
means Of medical practice, why should not Ithe
mathematician as readily calculate the difference
in risks arising from medical treatment as from
various avooations and aces Of trlvelS
This company, after collecting and examining the
reports of more than eighty hospitals in this and
other countries, and inoing the rates of mortality,
under Homeopathic treatment, less by fifty per
cent. than under the Ao athic, has had prepared "a
new table of mortality. by Professor Elzur Wright
of Boston. VI on this table the rates charged the
patrons of Homeopathy average from 6 to Is per
cent. less than those charged by the best old com
panies in the country. ..

thing?
There is new style of advertising that has
sprung up N late years. l refer TO the painted
signs that adorns ~ our fences, and stare at us
from every side in and out of the city. II our Dusi
ness men would only keep within bounds, aud
not allow their employees 10 deface and dlsfgnre
objects of natural beauty as thew so reckIessly
do now, they would be doing no more than their
duty. One cannot walk in our streets or drive
out on our roads without seerbe notices Of quack
medicines and goods OF fall kinds daubed on the
fences, or bridges, OF houses, with reckless
disregard OF good taste and decency. ..
II we are attracted by some beautiful and
picturesque rock we approach 1t more nearly,
only to see 1t daubed upon by some vandal with
a noticesot some bitters or clothing store. Even
into our public parks are these notices intruded.
Now we dare say that it is all right enough that
a business nan should keep O knowledge of his
business before the public; but still he has no
more right to plant hrs signs in the public parks
than he would TO hang his posters IN mans
parlor. There the public expects 10 put business
aside, and leave the hustle Of everyday life
behind. As to placing their signs in CONSPICUOUS
places in the most trequented roads around or
cities, that, we suppose sl)De OF their inaiienable
rights, and can't be denied them, even II 1t does
annoy passers by
In The foregoing article we have only attempted
to give a few general ideas on the subject OF
advertising. IL is theme which Is almost eX
baustless, both on account OF its Importance
and the great extent to whichit is carried at the
present day,
