The Career OF a Great Remedy.

Twenty summers have elapsed since il was
briefly announced that new vegetable tonic
and Alternative, bearing the name of Hostetter IS
Stomach BiNers, had been added to the list Of
preventive and restorative medicines. The
modest advertisement which invited attention
to the preparation stated that it had been used
with great success in private practice as cure
for dyspepsia, bilious comp aints constipation
and intermittent fever. II was soon discovered
that the article possessed extraordinary merits as
found that its effects more than fulfilled then
hopes and expectations. From that time to the
present its course has been upward end on
ward, and it stands to-day at the head of ali
medicines of it's class, American or imported, in
the magnitude of its sales and its reputation as
n safe, agreeable and potent invigorant and re-
storative. For languor and debility, lack OF
appetite and ,gtstric disturbances 30 common
during Summer months it is absolutely infalla.
BILE. Indigestion, bilious disorders, constpa
tion, nervousness, periodical fevers. and all the
ordinary complaints generated by vitiated and
humid atmosphere. vanish under its renovating
and regulating influence. This is its record
avouched by volumes of intelligent testimony
extending over period Of fifth of century
and comprehending the names Of thousands o
well known citizens belonging to every clas
and calling. In Europe il is thought grea
thing to obtain the patronage Of royalty for
patent medicine, but Hostetter's Et,ers has
been spontaneously approved by millions o
independent sovereigns, and its patent consists
in their endorsement.

Ems. HEaAiD:-
Az harvesting and politics seem to draw the
attention OF our citizens mostly nowadays,
thought would let you knew how we are GET
ting on in that direction.
Our farmers are mostly done heading, and are
now busy threshing their grain. Grain crops
are turning out better in this section than we
expected a couple. Of, months ago, and il the
grain merchants and freight moncrolies are not
too greedy this year. orr farmers may recover
from their poor circumstances, caused by light
crops and starvation prices last year.
The Republicans seem to be quite lively here
in leading off the contest i'll the field of politics
1t is really amusing to see how many candidates
there are for Assemhynen 1t seems as though
almost every other Republican wants to repre-
sent " Western Placer in the. coming Assembly
The contest, however. lies. between Andrew Las
well and i. L. Chamberlain. But enough Of
this. They. are on, the wrong side, and Liberals
and Democrats want nothing to do with them.
The election isdrawng near. in which the peo-
pie Of the State of California, after being fully
awakened to their condition, must decide
whether they will be the slaves Of monopolies
and capitalists or, throw off the yoke of OF
preston, and be free and Independent people
The sovereign power is in the hands Of the peo-
pie, and we dare not trust it in the hands of men
who belong to party which has so long de-
ceived US. The political parties of to-day are
the monopoly party and the peoples party. The
old-line Republican party composes the former,
and the Democrats and Liberals the latter Let
every honest citizen prepare for the coming cri-
sis, and go forth TO the polls determined to cas-,
his vote for men who will represent their con-
sttuents in the coming Legislature and not the
monopolies.

FArALLr SrABBED.--He see from the Sacra-
nento Union that a man by the name Of Tankn
was stabbed and killed, in bar-room at
st. Lawrenceburg, in El Dorado county. about
10 O'Clock on the night Of the fourth by man
named Williams. The cause which aggravated
this dark deed is not given. Williams stepped
into the room where Tankin was, with others,
placed his hand on his shoulder. and, without
the exchange of word, plunged knife into
his side. Tsnkin fell but his falling attracted no
attention for some time, when it was discovered
he was lying in pool of blood, and on exam
ination found he was dead. The murdered
man has two brothers residing in this county,
one at Roseville, and the other at Newcastle.
At last accounts the murderer was at large but
the officers were on his truck. -

see that the Argus processes TO be in favor of
Booth for Senator, and opposed to the railroad
and other monopolies. Ther are good many
Republicans up this way that remember how
the Argus started and remember how it
supported Page, and rene mber how quiet it has
been for long time, and we can't help but
doubt its Booth and anti-subsidy professions
now. And when we remember how it is sup
ported by the party, and by our Republican Of
fcials, who tax the county for its support, by
giving it the county printing at higher prices
than you are willing to do it for, We cant help
thinking that majority of the Republican par
ty are in the same boat with the Argus, and that
their anti-subsdy is mere pretense, intended
to pull wool over our eyes, and get our votes.
But there one or two ways of testing the
matter, and the Argus has influenza enough with
the men who are likely to be in the convention,
to persuade them to prove the truth of what
they say, II they are in earnest. Let me re
mind the Argus and the Republican Conven-
top that Mr.. Lee, whose name is published as
u candidate for denomination for the Assembly,
voted against the resolution which declared il
ipexpede nt TO rede Goat Island to the Railroad
Company. Mr.. welty voted to pass the sono-
ma subsidy bill over the Governors veto. Mr.
Neff was one Of the Senators that telegraphtd
to our Congressman in favor of giving Goat Is
land TO the railroaders. II the Arpts and the
Republican party are in earnest in what they
say abont subsidy, they must eond, mn thes,
acts of Neff Lee and Welty, and if they con-
denim them they opght to come ont and say
in the Argus ana in the, convention. If they
don tive must understand that they endorse
them, and il they don't condemn these acts Of
Neff, Lee and Welty, /, for one, wouldn't give
much for their anti-spbsidy. professions
should like to have the argus and the conven-
ton tell us what they think on these subjects. !
should like to have them show their hands. ]
should like to have them come right out and
score those who have done wrong. while they are

but that they will not abide by the decision of n

4 KORLUS CONFLUENCE.

1t was but short range of vision and
limited view, though prophecy sat upon his
eyelids and inspiration moved bis lips, that
was opened to the reluctant son of BeOr when,
standing "On the top of Poor that lOOketh
Coward JeshimOn," from amid the smoke
of the seven affairs of burnt offering,
his entranced sight wandered over the
camps of Israel below ont toward the shore
and the sea, and gathered in the future of the
chosen people and the thought of the AL
mighty concerning them. How goodly are
thy tents, o Jacob, and thy tabernacles, o
"Israel !" was the exclamation that burst from
him as the curtain was lifted to his unwilling
gaze and he began the wonderful prophecy of
Israel's glOry-of the "Star" that should
"come out of Jacob" and the "Scepter" that
should "rise out of Israel" That prophecy
reached it's fulillment and the world passed on
beyond it. A more wonderful prophecy, sim
pier and grander. and as much larger in its
scope as humanity is larger than family or
people, was that in the presence of whose full
fillment the world uncOvers reverently to-day.
"And /, if be lifted up, will draw all men
"under me-" Representatives of the Christian
church gathered from almost all lands and all
peoples to the metropolis of Christian land
unknown when the church was founded, bear
abundant testimony to the truth and the full
fllment of what from any other lips would
have been audaciOus assumption, but in the
mouth of Him who spake as never man spake
was the simplest and the grandest of prophe;
cies.
The learning, the piety and faith, the 10y
atty to truth, and the self-denying and self
sacrificing devotion Of the Church, are repre-
sented here in a Universal Congress, whose
aim is the promotion of the Kingdom of
Peace and the Brotherhood of Man. Higher
motives or purer purposes cOnld not be in
vOked. For however men may differ upon
the controverted points of Christian doctrine,
however they may disagree even upon what
may be esteemed the fundamental truths of
Christianity, no one will deny that through
Christian progress and Christian civilization
the whole world has been lifted to purer and
better living. If the Christian religion
is delusion, mankind, that has been
so profted by it, may well say as
did Cato of the doctrine of the Immortality
of the soul, 1T is deusiOn that love-" In
any view this convOcation of the representa-
tives of the Christian Church in an Evan
eelical Alliance is most marked event not
only in the history of our country but in the
progress of religious thought in the world.
Even though the theses and essays TO be read,
the addresses delivered, and the discussion
ipdnlged in should add no important contri-
buttons to religious literature, still the min

will find prominent and wealthy citizens COM
peting, to whom the salary Is a matter OF no
consequence But in such cases it Is not I'M
usual that the successful candidate buys out
bis most dangerous competitors with sums
often equal to years salary. NOW,
every dollar added to the pay
of members of Congress increases the
swarm of asprants. The number of men VINO
would rather vote themselves money than
work for it is very large, and that class of
men regard the life of a Congressman as
nothing more than this. They often have
considerable powers of intrigue and cOmbina-
ton and their natural talents are sharpened
by their hunger aud their avarice. Every
increase of salaries brings more of that sort
of men into public life. They are sustained
and encouraged in their fight for nomination
and election by the thought that $500 is a
good safe income TO have anyhow, and when
they get into Congress there may be other
chances. If the salary were $4,000 they would
work twice az hard to be nominated, and steal
twice as much if elected.
1t is the idle talk of ignorance to say,
as Butler and Carpenter do, that small sala-
ries are aristOcratic in their tendency. 1t IS
impossible to show where any frst-rate man
has ever been kept out of Congress by the
insufiiciency of the salary. The experience
of the world shows how false and foolish IS
the cry that if high salaries are not paid, tho
Government will fall into the hands OF the
rich. The leaders in the Spanish Cortes are
almost without exception poor men. Figueras,
Pi MargaI, CASTELAR,, are all dependent on
their professional labor for their bread. Half
the members of the Austrian Reichsrath are
of the same kind. The French radical cir
subscriptions rarely elect rich man.
It is not too much to say that
no man whom the nation really requires
ever did or ever will refuse to sit in Congress
for $4,000 a year-and then consent to go for
$500. The truth is, that the former sum Is
enough for a decent and modest living in
WASHINGTON 1t is more than is paid to the
Assistant Secretaries of the Departments, or
to the Army and Navy officers IN charge OF
Bureaus. Yet these gentlemen do twice the
work of Congressman, sustain a respectable
position in society, and dispense a cordial and
unpretending hospitality to their friends. Half
the men who pOcketed the back pay this year
have regularly saved half their salaries since
they began to sacrifice their private interests
"tO the public service"
