THE WHITE WASHING COMMITTEE
Perhaps the most amusing part ofthe farce
lately enacted in the Democratic Conyen-
tion, was the appointment Of committee
OF Investigation, for the purpose Of white
washing the proceedings. 1t was apparent
to every intelligent man present, Democrat
or Republican, that the four townships Of
the coal region had returned three times as
many votes rs they had voters. How 10
got over that Gsct was q diAlculty that
would have staggered an Ordinary man Of
ihlr and honest intentions, Not 30, how.
ever with the lyaders Ia this convention.
They had encountered such difficulties be.

TIE late Democratic State Convention
adopted the following resolution in their
platform by a vote of 76 yeas to So nays.
''Ninth. That we recognize the binding
obligation of all the provisions of the Con-
stitution of the United States, as they now
exist, and we deprecate the discussion of
issues which have been settled in the man.
ner and by the authority constitutionally
appointed.
This is q most nauseous and bitter dose
for many of the party to swallow. To
those whose rallying cry for years has been
"White Mans Government or Fight"
the platform is too much. The bittcrest
anguish is marked upon their faces, but
theirs is nothing to that of the Republicans,
who went with the Democrats last year,
because of their opposition to negro suffrage
and the provisions of the Fifteenth Amend
ment. This year the Democrats march 10
the polls side by side with the colored citi-
zen, and next year we shall have the lead
ers of the party negotiating for division
of the oflices-dividing the spoils-if color
cd voters can be found willing to enter into
an alliance with the vanquished enemies
of the fifteenth amendment. Our readers
will not be surprised to learn that that en-
thusiastic endorsement of the platform
which is always accorded by the Demo
cratic press, no matter what is in it, is thi!
year wanting.

OUR neighbor of the Democrat perp

OUR neighbor of the Democrat perpe-
trates The following rich joke upon his
readers in his last issue
"a bill has passed both branches of the
Legislature, preventing changes Of books
in the public schools Of this State more
than once in every three years.
"Most of our so-called ''historics" are
nothing but Republican clectioncering doc
uments, and this change about once in
four years will enable them to fix them up
for each Presidential election"
AS the bill is known to have emanated
from one Of the most uncompromising
Dcmocrats.in the State, Mr. Bruce Petrkin,
it is considered rich joke. by all appear
anee these boks are being circulated now.
many are pcrplexcd, however, toknow what
kind Of an Arithmetic has been introduced

characteristic of winter Vegetation dies or tails
into q state of trance. The whole aspect OF IN
animate nature teaches us that there is paraiyZ-
ing influence in the air, and ought to teach us
that our bodies require an increase of vital power
to contend with il: Some of even, the. warm
blooded animals bury themselves in the earth
and remain in state of partial stupetactlon until
the season is over, and the elixir of tho spring
sunshine stimulates their stagnant blood, and re-
stores their vgor. But man, although ne feels
the influence Of tho season, can protect himself
against its inclemency. He has fuel to warm him
externally and can tone and strengthen his inter-
nal organization and cndow it with the extra
amount of vitality which the circumstances re-
quirc. OF all invigorants that have been recon-
mcnded for this purpose, Hostettcr's stomach
Btters is the pureSt and best. Fortified by the
daily use Of this wholesome vegetable tonic, the
human system may defy the chils and damps or
winter in any latitude. It's effect is to promote n
brisk and regular circulation Of the Blood, ana
activity in al the secretive organs Without the
slightest tendency to produce foyer, it imparts a
hcalthfu glow to tho surface, and stimulates the
exterior vessels to discharge, in the form OF gen,
tie pcrspiration, the useless matter eliminated
from the blood. Thus the system Is kept unclog-
ged. Fever and aguc biliousness, indigestion
and collie all of which are the common conse-
quences Of the searching dumps and low temper
aturc of winter, may be avoided las well rs cured
