The order of President Grant for
bidding federal officials from interior
ING in State elections, or holding State
offices, has finally been issued. BY n
happy combination of sagacity and
prudence, it was omitted until after
the late canvass was over. Now comes
the important point-will it be enfor-
ced? Many Of the party editors in
Minnesota hold post office or other
lucrative government positions, and
we are anxious to see. whether. if
they take a part in local politics, they
will be dismissed, The order is either
a farce, or has been issued in earnest.
ifthe latter, the public will not have
to wait long for occasions TO test it,
If the former, it is a piece of unneces-
sary deception and folly. The issue is
plainly defined. Will it be met when
the emergency arises p The people
will do well to watch the result

The intention of certain South.
ern Republican members of the House
to oppose the reelection of Mr. Blaine
to the Speakership attracts more than
ord nary comment in political circles.
1t Is charged that their refusal to en-
ter into caucus combination is
equivalent to a coalition with the
Democrats. Only q few of the dis
affected members are very ardent in
support Of Mr. Maynard, and in fact
they are unable to concentrate upon
any one candidate. 1t is probable,
therefore, that owing to lack of
effort the 'Hbolt' will
fail.

CUBA.-Tho New York Uer0ldS
commissioner" to Cuba, who found
in the shape Of Spanish military squads
sundry distractions to his work of
learning about the real condition Of the
rebellion, has nevertheless traversed
a considerable part of the island, and
seen q good deal to interest him. He
was much impressed with the richness
of the tropical scenery, rs he journey
ed inland by rail from Matanzas. Rich
cane fields spread far and wide; there
was wilderness of tropical shrubs
and trees; and at many points the eye
would be arrested by the sight Of a
towering, solitary palm. The natural
capability Of the island seems almost
boundless But the fair land is cursed
by mistaken and costly Spanish
rule. Soldiers are met with at every
point, all over the island; a non-pro-
ducing and very expensive class. The
military and semi.milita,y officials en-.
rich themselves out OF the toll of the
slaves, and the revenue Of the island
is no doubt diverted to considerable
extent from the government exchequ-
er. This correspondent laments the
physical weakness and degeneracy of
the native Cubans. The negroes are
much more powerful; and the Spanish
soldiers are also physically better men
than the native Cubans.

g',>, and freshness Of youth. Thin
har is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the folliclcs are de-
stroyed. or the glands atrophed and
lecaycl; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that n new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of iouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the torma-
ton of dandruIt, which is often so un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
dcleterouS substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it, If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
