Trust what Time has Sanctioned.
The maxim that the voice of the people is the
voice of the divinity may in some cases, be open
to doubt, but the testimony of honest and en-
lightened witnesses extending through series
of years, and all to the same RFrport, is worthy
of credence admits of no question. Upon such
testimony the reputation of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters as an antidote and cure for many
ailments is based. During the twenty years
that it has been before the world, innumerable
preparations intended to compete with it, have
gone up like rockets, and come down the ex-
tinguished sticks. Meanwhile the progress of
that Incompatible tonic has been swift and
steady-always upward and onward like the
eagles fight. It's introduction produced a re-
volution in therapeutics, and it proved to be
one of those salutary revolutions that cannot
go backwards. To-day Hostetter's Bitters is
one of the most popular remedies in christen-
dom, and commands larger sale than any 9th
er medicinal preparation, domestic or import
ed, on this side of the Atlantic. AS cure for
dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous affections,
general debility. and as a preventive OF cpl
demic fevers, it takes precedence of every other
remedy. This fact should teach the ambitious
country dealers who endeavor to foist their To-
cal abortions on the public in its stead, how
futile their small attempts to cajole the COM
munity must necessarily be. Where the game
fish have failed there is no chance for the
"suckers."

A Republican Paper Den0uncing the Ku.
Klux Proclamation.
The New York Sun, whilst not doubling
that outrages are committed at the South,
land we might add everywhere else,) by law
less bands Independent of any political organ
ization, and like ourselves, the Sun is unwill-
ing to shield desperadoes from punishment.
But the sam says:
at is certain that entirely innocent people,
who, from personal malice or other cause,
should be wrongly accused of participation in
such offences, taking the North Carolina trials
as an example of the way in which the law is
to be administered, would have very little
ground to hope that their innocence would
save them from conviction aud punishment
"Whst is popularity known as the Ku-Klux
law was passed for partisan purposes, and it
is administered in partisan manner. While
its ostensible object was to suppress the Ku-
Klux organization, it has been SO framed as
to render it an instrument under cover of
which General Grant may use the most rev.
dictionary means to force his denomination
and election; for 1t can be applied to the
North as we'll as the South, and its terrors
may be brought to bear against political So
ciet:es 10 our own State, organized for patri-
otto purposes, as effectually as against the
members of the Invisible Empire, and kindred
associations in the South. Wholesale and
Understandable arrests have been made, often
without warrant people, on mere suspicion,
have been carried hundreds of miles from their
homes, denied bail, and kept for months In

Fires I'm the Northwest.

The dispatches from the Northwest STATE
that tremendous fires are now raging in The
forests of northern Wisconsin and Michigan
The loss of life is placed at from ten to twelve
hundred by the various accounts, and the Loss
Of material wealth by the destruction of The
timber lands is enormous. The destitute
people are flying in throngs from their homes
to the larger towns, and each successive re-
port increases the extent of the calamity
All through the whole length of California
forest fires are also breaking out. 1t is
thought by some that mere accidents could
not explain sufficiently such great and wide
spread CONGREGATIONS, ard that there must be
some meteorological or geological causes al
work.
