truth Of the announcement that ne
gotiations have been completed which
will enable the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company to advertise for con-
tracts to build the road-bed early
next Spring. As all applications for
a subsidy have been resisted, it is by
private means alone that this formid-
able undertaking will be carried out.
Surveying parties will be put in the
field at once, in order to determine
the shortest and most practicable
route between Lake Supanbr and Pu-
get Sound. The work will probably
be commenced either in Minnesota or

A writer in Putaoan's Monthly says
that all the men who became rich,
that have passed under his observa-
ton, with one exception, had pecu-
liarly shaped ears:
That rich mans ear must have been
rather a heshy, largeear of a healthy,
not too pale color; not sIanted back

close, but not too close to the head
symmetrical and we'll developed In
all its parts, and inclined to be some
what hairy as age advances. Mark
you, it is a large ear, but not q large,
round ear, as the top Of a blaeking
box clapped to the side of the head
would be. No; it is a longish ear
vertically, aud more of an ellipse than
a circle in shape. Yetit is not a mar
row ear. 1t is developed equally in
all directions. impresses you f%avora-

The Three Remedies, "SCHENCH'S Pun
nosIc syRUP." for the cure of Coughs,
Colds, Bronchitis, and every form OF Con-
sumntion. The peculiar action of this med
ic,ne ripens the ulcers in the lungs, pro-
motes the discharge of the corrupt matter
nv expectoration. Purihes the blood. and
thus cures Consumption, when every other
remedy fails.
"schenck's Sea-Weed Tonic" for the
cure OF Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and all
diseases arising from debility. This tonic
~invigorates the digestive organs, supplies
the place of the gastric juice when that IS
deficient, and then enables the patient to
digest the most nutritious food. 1t is a
sovereign remedy for all cases of iudiges-
ton.
"schenck's Mandrake Pills" one of the
most valuable medicines ever discovered,
being a vegetable substitute for calomel,
and having all the useful properties ss-
crtbed to that mineral, without producing
any of its Injurious effects.
To these three medicines DR.. j. Fl
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his un-
rivaled success in the Treatment of Pull
monte Consumption. The Pulmonic Syrup
ripens the morbid matter, discharges 1T,
and purides the blood. The Mandrake
Pills act upon the liver, remove all OBJ
structions therefrom, give the organ q
healthy tone, and cure Liver Complaint,
which IS one of the most prominent causes
of Consumption.
The Sea-Weed Tonic Invigorates the
powers of the stomach, and by strengthen
ing the digestion and bringing it TO a nor
NAL and healthy condition, improves the
quality of the blood, by which means the
formation of ulcers or tubercles in the
lungs becomes impossible. The combined
action of hese medicines, as thu ex-
planned, W lcure every case Of Consump-
ton, If the r medies are used in time and

clared that all laws regulating or IN
terfering with mems moral ideas
are despotic and %unwise, and the peo-
pie have endorsed that sentiment.
Why am [ prosecuted for accepting
and acting upon the declaration In
good faith?' The reply would be
logically unanswerable.
But the Democratic resolution does
not stop with denounciDg laws simply
regulating " moral ideas as despotic
ana unwise. 1t also denounees all
laws regulating or interfering with
mems oppettfes. The Courier says
ibis refers only to /" natural appetites
act depraved and debased ones"
Among the natural appetites it class
ifes the appetite for spirituous and
malt liquor-a classification that is
not sustained by the scientific men of
the world. But the term appetite is
used ii a general sense 10 the resolu-
ton. Turning to Webster's Diction
airy for its meaning, we find the def
milton In general to be: The desire
of some personal qualification. either
of the body or of the mind" Sup
pose, now, we paraphrase the Demo
cratic resolution, substituting the
meaning Of the word for the word
itself, as follows:
ResolUed, That any attempt TO reg
ulate the moral ideas, the desire of
some personal qualification, either of
the body or of the mind, or innocent
amusements of the people by legisla-
ton IS unWise and despotic."
Now, if the so-ca,led social evil
is not embodied in the elegant phra-
seology Of the sentence included
within tie brackets, it can be found
no where on earth. What is it but
the qualification of animal desire, and
if all laws regulating or interfering
with the qualification of appetite
are unwise and despotic, then The
laws against prostitution are unwist
and despotic.
The opponents OF the resolution
have not placed respectable saloon
keepers on a par with prostitutes
They have insisted, as we have proven
that the resolution is peculiarly ap
plicable to the so-called social evil
The Courier says it is intended par
ticularly for the saloon-keeper The
classification of the saloon keeper
with the harlot is the work of the
Courier, and not our own, or that o
our correspondent.
The truth of the whole matter Is
the Democratic managers at In
dianapolis didn't dare to assail tn,
Sunday Laws directly, and still
thought they could manufacture
resolution that would humbug a few
Of the more ignorant Of the saloon
keepers. In this attempt they mad
a most ridiculous blunder, onl.
equaled by hat in another resolution
demanding that shares of bank stool
be taxed for school purposes, a thinl
that has been done for the past TIVE
or three years. In the meantime, W
presume that the Democracy hav,
made certain of the support of tn,
: friends of RIGHTEOUSNESS and indie
eency, who correctly understand tn,
meaning of the resolution.
