Compromising Frauds.

The Washington correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Commercial says the Internal
Revenue Department continues to COM
promise revenue frauds. The process is
much more simple than prosecution
through the courts. The Commissioner
and the thief get together and settle,
avoiding the interposition of juries, in
dictments and trials. Then it is less
expensive. The thief seldom pays more
than one-third his just dues, the revenue
officer being much more easily satisfied
than the Government. The author OF
the fraud, not being badly damaged, is
in condition to resume operations, and
can soon lay the foundation for another
profitable compromise. This, be 1t
nown, is the reform and retrench.
ment" policy promised by Ulysses and
carried out by his subordinates.

The Cincinnati Chronicle says that
"Washington city is suffering from the
retrenchment and honesty of Pres ident
GRANTS administration" The whole
country is affi icted with a similar com
plaint, only the Chronicle does not name
it as other folks do. However, if the
"loyap journals can find comfort in
styling BOUTwELL's policy of paying 90
per cent. premium on bonds payable at
par, "retrenchment and honesty" we see
no reason why they should not be allowed
to enjoy themselves. Words, after all,
are frequently used merely to conceal
ideas, and the financial ideas of the
present administration certainly need
concealment.

The Chic Ganynss


y
1t is now about seven weeks until the
election. The aspect of the canvass is
excellent. AS was expected, the nomi.
nation of Mr.. Pendleton excites the
lveliest satisfaction and the greatest
enthusiasm among the Democracy and
Conservative men. He Will poll vote
larger than any other candidate that
conld have been selected. The Demo
crat who will not vote and work for him
with all his might and soul is yet to be
discovered.
On the other hand, the meetings of
Governor Hayes have hardly been
worthy of the Dame. Indeed, they have
not amounted to the dignity of first
class fzzles. We know, from good au.
thOrity, that he is exceedingly mortified
and discouraged by the beggarly array
OF empty boxes to which he has repeated
his dull and prosy harangues. Other
Republican meetings, addressed by
Sherman and Bingham. have been simi.
larry feeble in numbers. All the efforts
which have been made to excite the
political bitterness that existed during
the war, and for three years afterward
have been fruitless. The people art
now in good disposition to listen calmly
and patiently, without much passion ol
prejudice, to the discussions of present
issues.
That something is going wrong they
have the best ocular evidence. Bust
ness Is dull, yea ! exceedingly depressed
labor is ill-remunerated and difficult t.
be obtained; money is exceedingly
scarce, and interest enormously high.
ln the mean time the taxes are kept up
to the war standard and are far more
difficult to pay in consequence of the
contraction and the depression of in.

Care Of the Feet.

Concerning this subject the ccie''y'e
american very truly says:
"Many are careless in the keeping ol
the feet. If they wash them once
week they think they are doing well.
They do not consider that the largest
pores of the system are located in the
bottom of the foot, and that the most
offensive matter is discharged through
the pores. They wear stockings from
the beginning to the end of the week
without change, which become COM
pletely saturated with offensive matter.
"Ill health is generated by such treat
ment of the feet. The pores are not re-
pellants, but absorbents, and this fetia
matter, to a greater or less extent, is
taken back into the system. The feet
should be washed every day with pure
water only, as well as the arm-pits,
from which an offensive sdor is also
emitted, unless daily ablution is prac-
ticed. Stockings should not be worn
more than day or two at time. They
may be worn one day, and then aired
and summed and worn another day, if
necessary"
