branches OF productive industry, the direct ope-
ration Of each, when not preve nted by unjust
monetary laws, being to benefit all the others
by the production and distribution OF
the comforts and necessaries Of life; and
that the adoption by the national government
Of the financial policy set forth in this platform
will put au end 70 the oppression Of working,
women, and 10 the only mesas Of securing to
them, as well as to workingmen, the Just reward
Of their labor.
Resolved, That we pledge our individual
and undivided support to the sewing women
and daughters Of toll in this land and would

we do, that no class OF industry is so much in
need OF having their condition ameiorated al

Of the system OF convict labor in our prisons

Resolved, That We would urgenty call the
attention of the industrial classes to the subject
Of tenement houses and improved dwellings

REMEDY FOR INSUFFICIENT WORK
Resolved, That this Labor Congress would
most respectfully recommend to the workingmen
Of the country, that, in case they are pressed
for want Of employment they proceed to the

ing that if the industry Of the country can be
coupled with its natural advantages, it will re-
suit both in individual reiiet and national ad-

WHAT CoppERHEAD Is.-The Tribune
styles Col. T. Lyle Dickey, recently ap-
pointed Assistant Attorney General Of the
United States, "a Copperhead.
Now we may learn exactly what Cop
perhead is. Col. Dickey has been an hon
ored citizen of Illinois fol- thirty years.
For many years he was Circuit Judge in
the Ottawa district. When the war broke
4out he went to Washington and asked Mr..
Lincoln for authority to organize cavalry
regiment. Mr.. Lincoln wrote to the Sec
rotary of War concerning the said Cop
perhead, thus: "This man is my f. lend
Wants to raise cavalry regiment. He
won't lie. LIE ,con't steal. A. LINCOLN"
Receiving his authority, he returned
and put in the field the Fourth Illinois
Cavalry Regiment, and commanded the
same till Grant made him Chief of Cavalry
on his staff, which post he filled with dis
tinction.
Three sons and son-in-law Of this
"Copperhead" entered the army. Of two
Of these sons, both privates. one was killed
and another severely wounded in the Red
River Expedition. His son-in-law, Gen
eral, was killed at Shiloh.
Now we know what the TriJane's "Cop-
perhead" means.-N. Y. World.

In the Immediate presence Of national
election the Radical Prosecutors dare not
carry out their programme of oppression,
and therefore all the indictments against
liquor dealers ut McGregor in this State
were allowed to slide. Don't be deceived,
this is no repentance, it is but the expedi-
ency Of Radical warfare. AS soon as the
election is over Maine LAVISH will demand
their bond.
There are two important county Offices
pending in their county and fines or con.
victions would have imperiled them. Be
good little Dutch boys, vote for the Radi-
cal ticket and get your beer stopped imme-
diately after you have returned their men.
That's Radical gratitude oil oyer.-Frank
Jeruis.

According to Radical reports, there has
been expended since 1861, the sum of ST.
900, 100000 for expenses growing out of
che war, and during that time there has
been collected from the people Ito say
nothing of the stealings) S2,25O, 900, 900.
Enough to have paid, as we went along,
all but $3.50, 600, 900 of the war debt.
Radicals also tell us tn t.they Lave used
less than SlO0,00O,00O for ordinary ex-
penses per annum, a total of $780, 100000
for the seven years. Now add this sum to
the $3.50, 100000 war debt, and we have
81 1856, 900, 900, and estimating accruing
interest on these amounts ut $3.50, 900 600,
and it shows that the total debt should
now be only 81 600, OOO,O 900, instead of, as
it really is $2,630,0OO,O0O. Taking the
Radicals own figures for it and here is
over billion Of dollars which they have
squandered, and of which they fail to give
any account during the time they have
run the government. An amount large
enough to have paid for all expenses un-
der Democratic rule for over fifteen gears.
Tax payers how do you like the showing?

If you don't know how to use bone,
muscle and brains, you would not know
how to use gold. If you let the capital
you have lie idle, and waste and rust out
it would be the same thing with you if you
had gold /; you would only know how to
waste it.
Then don't stand about idle, a great
helpless child waiting for somebody to
come and feed you, but go to work. Take
the first work you can find, no matter
what it is, SO that you do it well. Yes,
whatever you undertake, do it well al
ways do your best. If you manage the
capital you already have, you will soon
have plenty more to manage: but if you
can't or won't manage the capital God has
given you, you will never have any other
to manage. DO you hear, young man?

SENATOR DooLlrrLE.-There will be a

Court House will be crowded with persons

Doolittle.
Mr.. Doolttle is the same United States
Senator elected to Congress by the Rcpub-
iicans of Wisconsin. The last time he
spoke in Prairie du Chen, he addressed
the people in the cause of the Republican
party.
Now, Senator Doolittle declares that the
leaders of the Radical Party are destroy

the people and he is urging all men to
do as he has, leave the Radicals and
try to save the Union from its enemies.

q ueen lisa bella Of Spain.

Queen Issb -llh, Of Spain, is thirty years
OF age, but she looks a great zeal older.
Her face is round, her features are coarse,
her nose slightly retrousse, her eyes small,
blue. and her hair chestnut. Fortunately
she did not inherit the extraordinary nose
Of her father, who was indebted to it for
unpleasant nickname Of "Narizotal."
but unfortunately she does not possess Ell
Their the graceful Clearing or the manner of
her mother, Queen Christina. She bears
no resemblance to either of her parents,
and does not look ut all like a Spanish
woman. Her physognomv is dcvoid::of in
telligence. Her voice is strong, somewhat
hoarse, and decidedly masculine. Her
manners are vulgar, and destitute Of maj
esty and refinement. Her mother is pro-
iicient in painting and embroidery. Queen
Isabella feels no inclination to occupy her
self with needle-work, nor does she like
literature and the fine arts. She dresses
richly, but her costumes never look cle-
CANT her mother in her youth gave TO a
certain blue color the name Of Christina
blue, but no stuff, no article Of female at
tire, no color in Spain ever bore the name
of Isabella the Second The life which
the Queen leads is an easy ole, but by no
means conducive to her health she pro-
longs sweets of repose beyond rational
length, and takes a very hearty breakfast
between one and two, and frequently hears
mass not until four in the af,ern BON, which
renders the position Of her almoncrs deci-
dedly unpleasant, inasmuch as the poor
fellows cannot touch any food until that
late hour. Toward night-fall she takes a
walk in the Enclosure of the RETRO, and
sometimes in the frcquented parts of the
Madrid promenade. At nightfall the
queen returns to the palace and generally
eats more than is good for her. She somo-
times attends the performances Of the roy
al opera, whittier she repairs, accompan-
led by a number Of curiously dressed
servants. After the performance she re-
tires, presides at the cabinet council, con-
suits with her secret Camarilla, and finally
INDUCES in those pleasures to which she is
so rsssionately addicted. The officers and
dign;siries who, according to the Spanish
court etiquette, have: to kiss Queen Is
abella's hand several times in the course
Of the year, are greatly to be pitiel. To
kiss pretty female hand is something
which few men will dislike, but to press
ones lips upon a swollen, misshaped, red
hand covered with yellowish scales is quite
another thing. These scales Isabella s
hand proceed from disease with
which she is afflicted. The Kings brother,
the Infante Don Enrique, has expatiated
on this subject in his letters, published in
Paris. If the queen has the manners and
bearing of man, those Of her husband,
the king, are decidedly feminine. Her
voice is contralto, his voice soprano; she
likes exercise, he is afraid of riding on
horseback. The prince of Austria and
he princesses bear no resemblance to
heir parents whatever. The prnccsses
are handsome, though badly educated, and
often behave with shocking naricte.

In the chair.
Mr.. HENRY MURRAY moved tha. resolution which was

railroad companies TO remove the snow and ice ahosg

Mr.. HART said that the railroad companies acted -
II they swned the streets OF the city, and he beieys1
tha, some should be adopted TO prevent then
