audience with a specimen of its
vocal powers. Edwards was en-

no practical experience in reference
to real bAbies) was disconnected,

ANOTHER RADICALPLUN

The New York San is of the
opinion that the fourteenth amend.
ment of the constitution of the
United States is the only sure and
reliable protection against the re-
establishment of slavery and
moreover that the said fourteenth
amendment is not sure and reli-
able protection. This may seem a
little inconsistent. If the fourteenth
amendment does and does not es-
tablish a sure and reliable protec
ton against the establishment of
slavery, what does it establish ?
The San shows that it establishes
nothing. ODD l-u --..l -.
The thirteenth amendment pro
hibits the existence of slavery, and
provides that Congress shall have
power to enforce its provisions by
appropriate legislation. The four
teenth cOnfers the right of citizen
ship upon call persons born or
naturalized in the United States,
and subject to the jurisdiction there
Of" and declares that. no State
shalfabridge the privileges or i'm
munities of citizens nor deprive
any person of life, liberty or prop
erty without due process of law
and that Congress shall have power.
TO enforce its provisions by appro-
pirate legislation. The Supreme
Court has decided in respect to the
thirteenth amendment that, in con-
sequence of the enforcement clause,
the amendment is imperative, until
the appropriate legislation has been
enacted. Apply the same rule to
the fourteenth amendment, and that
becomes imperative without appro-
pirate legislation. In other words,
these two amendments are laws or
dead letters according as Con-
gress shall act or not act to give
them vitality. Under one Congress
they may be laws, under another
dead letters. .a-.-I.anH cd.
People, when they try very hard,
says the st. Louis Republican, are
apt to oyerdo. Ifthe clauses giving
the enforcement of the two sections
to Congress had been omitted, it |
would have been the duty of the |
Court to put them in force on all |
proper occasions. Congress, how
ever, hating, and protesting to dis
trust the Court, inserted the pro-
visions, special y reserving the en-
forcement to itself. Correctly, it is
to be presumed, the Court holds
that it has nothing to do in the
premises until Congress has acted.
Upon this, the Sun insists that if
this decision islands as law, all the
fruits of the war which have been
planted in the constitution are
plucked out Now, if Radicalism
has overshot the mark and defeated
itself, let Rsdicalism put on the
sackcloth. The facts seem to be
that by attempting to kill two
birds with one stone, il missed them
both no uncommon casualty. But
as there is no limitation as to the
time when Congress may enforce
the provisions of both amendments,
perhaps the fears of the San may
yet be averted. ...

PRE-RAPHAELITISM In THE
THEATRE.
Realistic Effects with a Vengeance

Realistic Effects with "a Vengeance
Genuine Babies Vs.. Rag Rabies
From the San Francisco Chronicle Msy l6.
The management of the CalifOr-
MIA theatre are evidently strong
pre- Raphaelites in theory, and they
have of late been most faithfully
carrying that theory into practice.
They now go the entire animal on
realistic effects" Mr.. Manager

empty shams as bogus vituals or
making believe champagne. The
scenic feasts are substantial and
satisfying to the appetite, instead
of being mere aggravations and
tantalizing mockeries,
Like dead sea fruits that tempt tho eye
But turned to ashes on the lips"
Well, the realistic theory has
been carried to such a degree of
perfection at the California, that
the enterpribing manager will no
longer tolerate dummy babies, but,
where the plPy calls for an infantile
specimen of\humanity, a genuine

The most Efficient, Comfortable and
Secure Truss in use, con-
strueted upon an entirely
New Principle.

TT is ENTIRELY DIFFERENT IN PRIN
i ciple and action from any other now in use
and has every desirable advantage. viz: aa
lsE 1t is light clean and easy; no pressure
on the back with motion inward and upward.
I'D. 1t has no Springs or Iron Bands. thus
Avoiding all Injurious Pressure on the Back,
al the same time supporting the AbdO-
men and relieving the aperture of all Undue
Sd. The Button is so formed that the pressure
is equal on all the parts of the Hernial Aper-
tare. without infringing on the Spermatic COrds
l4th. The composition Of which the Button is
made, renders il ImperVi0u5 to Preparation.
and produces rapid absorption of the deposits
in the simultaneous cellular tissues, which per-
mits the Button to act Immediately upon the
tsndinous canal. thus efectually closing the
neck and obliterating the Hernial Sac by
adh ssiye Inflammation.

TIE LAW OF ApvERr1s1NG.-In New York
the other day the law of advertising was well
elucdated. The publisher of daily paper
sued the Standard Life Insurance Company
in the Supreme Court, before Judge Fithian,
for bill of $773 on account Of advertising.
The company resisted payment on the ground
that they had authorized but one insertion.
There was no proof, however, of this. There
was no order to that effect on the bill, and
the company did not attempt to deny that
they saw the advertisement continuing in
the paper and failed to countermand it.
When an advertisement is received in pub
lication Office without the number of inser-
tions marked upon it, or the cost of the in
sertion paid for at the time the publisher
can know nothing the wish of the advorti-
ser respecting the number of insertions de-
sired and as he can do nothing until advised
by those whose business it is to attend to
the matter, he can charge for every insertion
given the advertisement until ordered out

TIE RIGHT SrIRTT.-In his speech before
the convention, where he was renominated
Gov. Geary said:
II will not recognize divisions or factions
in the party, but will from this time forth
look upon it only as united, harmonious, pa
triotic ard enthusiastic in the development
and determination Of great principles and
measures of progress for which it was organ
lied "
This is the right spirit and should prevail
throughout the entire party; No divisions
no factions, no faltoring in support of the
men who have been chosen to represent the
party in the State. No candidates have
ever been nominated with such unanimity.
None have been truor to the principles which
have triumphed in war and peace, under the
guidance Of the Republican party. There is
no room for honorable division. All dvi-
sion within the party would be mere faction.
Let every man then work as if it were his
particular business to see the whole ticket
triumphantly elected
