BACKING DOWN IN CERTAIN MATTERS

If we have held our peace toward the
tax resisters for little while, it was be-
cause we thought the matter was disposed of
by sort of voluntary Offering, on the part
Of Mr.. Hugh McCloskey, to become the
sacrifcal lamb Of the new rebellion. We
discussed this subject somewhat at length
a few days ago, in order to prevent the
poor people from being cheated into litiga-
ton that the rich men might well afford to
conduct at their own cost. There is no
use for thousand suits when one will
serve the full purpose And as Mr.. Nc
Closkey rushed into print and declared
that he was ready to perish financially in
resisting the taxes, we felt that our anxiety
might subside for time, since the deci-
sion in the matter Of Mr.. McCIoskey could
be made to protect all his poorer fellow
citizens.
Alas that our reliance on the atoning
devotion of MeCloskey should have re-
suited in a bitter disappointment. He re-
fuses to be led to the slaughter He is no
Isaac for the emergency. On the con-
trary, he joins with a number Of other
parties in calling upon the people to rally
with their contributions in behalf Of the
lawyers who are to be paid for their vol
untary services in defeating =" odious and
unconstitutional taxation. We are
ashamed of our innocence and confidence
in this matter We might have known
that there was to be a shearing on hand,
and that in order to save the flock our
eyes should be on the shearer all the
while.
Now, what We have to say to the people
is this; that they ought to hold McCloskey
to his word, to test the tax laws at his own
expense, and above all, they ought to
make the lawyers who promised to work
for them free gratis stick to their engage.

GETTYSBURG AS A HEALTH
RESORT.
To the Medical and Invalid Public.

To the Medical and Invalid Public.
On inviting the attention of the invalid and med
ica public to the great reduction in the prices Of
the Gettysburg Kataly sine Waters, which we have
effected by the introduction of new packages it is
proper to submit a few additional testimonials to
its medical efficacy.
The fact that thousands, perhaps millions, of the
American people are suffering from distressing or
fatal maladies for which the waters Of the Gettys
burg Spring have been pronounced a sovereign
remedy by the highest medical and profession
al authorities in the land, is lamentabe it is
instructive. 1t affords striking and terrible
mentary upon that policy or criminal neglect Of
our government which permits the unlimited pro-
mitigation Of falsehood upon all medical subjects,
and the abuse Of the freedom of the press as a
means of fEauduleutly obtaining money from those
who most need its protection. How else are we to
explain the fatal ineredulity which rejects the
highest and most abundant evidence of truths so
deeply interesting. except that the invalid mind
has been so dem0rahzed by the instrumentation
and by the various forms of medical impOsture
pTacticed upon it. 10 be incapable Of distinguish
ing the true from the false upon this subject.
We have endeayOred to dsabuse the mind of the
oft-deluded invalid public of the suspicion which
attaches to every alleged new medical discovery
in these corrupt and evil times, by extensively
publishing the strictly medical test imOny of the
extraordinary curative effects of the Gettysburg
Katalysine Water. Whatever may be thought Of
the ability Of physicians to cure our diseases no
intelligent person doubts their credibility wit
nesses to medical facts. Indeed, they properly
the only competent as well as credible witnesses
70 sucn facts. But as many people are OF many
minds, and as class OF evidence which would
have weight with one might not have weight with
another, 1t is duty which we owe to humanity,
as well as to ourselves, to publish all the various
kinds Of testimony which prove these facts. We
will, therefore, invite attention to the written
statements of distinguished citizens who have
regulations to lose by bearing false testimony, or
becoming parties to so gross and stuperdous i'm
posture as the Gettysburg Katalysine Water and
Spring would be if the representations made were
false. Those who find it impossible to credit the
testimony Of physicians may yield credence TO
that of their leading and Representative men in
church and state.

Next year the great Worlds Fair will be

is being made to fit the enterprise with

Tennessee is certain to go for Horace
Greeley, whatever the Baltimore conven-
ton may do The Bourbon Democrats Of
this State may paste this announcement
in their hats for reference, notwithstand-
ing that their party has that State written
down on its slate. The fact is, Tennessee
has taken the new departure so deeply
and firmly that she can not be cut loose
from it before November. The disease
fell upon the people while their political
doctors were consulting about the symp-
toms Of the future, and now the physicians
are following their patients, seeing that
they can not cure them. 1t is a bad case.
At the State Convention, the Democracy
came up to the scratch beautifully. It
not only urged the Baltimore convention
to desist from nominations, but it actually
Endorsed Greeley and Brown as its first
and last choice, to be supported against
the field. Governor Brown, who is SO
popular that he had no competition for
the Gubernatorial nomination, says Ten
nessee will go for Greeley by forty thou
sand majority. Mayor Heiss says the
Democracy is taking to the honest old
farmer like bees to a sugar hogshead. All
the Democratic papers have put his name
at their heads, and every prominent Demo
GRAFT in the State is adhering to him as the
