to the dominions of the "Stars and

100000, mostly Indians. According

No Pill IN THE WORLD ever had
anything like the circulation of AVER S
PILLS. Throughout these States,
Mexico, and the Central American re-
public, down the slopes of the Andes,
and across the pampas Of South Amer
lea, in negro villages, amid the iervid
wilds of Africa, throughout the jungles
Of India, and the steppes Of Interior
Asia, over the continent OF Australia
and the islands Of the Pacific, these
PILLS are known and everywhere used
as family remedies for diseases. With
distant nations, their wonderful cures
attract more attention than they do
at home for the sentiment Of wonder
takes a far deeper hold on their minds
than the results of higher scientific
skill with us. The amount consumed
requires seventy-fve thousand doses a
day to supply it. An inspection of
the mandatory showed up how this
enormous demand is made and sus
tanned. Added to the consummate
skill of their composition, is an eX-
IRENE care in their manufacture which
at once secures the most perfect ma
terial and their most accurate combin-
alton. The consequence is power
and certainty in controlling disease
which other remedies never attained

Sneaker Blaine. il appea

Speaker Blaine, it appears, has
been talking over matters with the
Mormon Prophet in the forlorn pre-
cincts of Salt Lake City. 1t appears
that Brigham Young was particularly
DESTROYS Of impressing the Speaker
with the idea that Congress had no
right whatever to interfere with the
local affairs of the Government Of the
Territory in any respect; that any at
tempt at interference was breach Of
faith, and that they should be left just
as the organic law left them, and have
full power to do all legislation without
let or hindrance. The Speaker re-
piled in an authoritative tone, as
though acting in the capacity of a
special commissioner, by reminding
the Prophet that Congress had gained
the right TO control the domestic in
stitutions OF the Territories that the
organic act Of Utah was by its terms
subject to amendment, alteration and
repeal. and that no enactment of the
Territorial Legislature was Of the
slightest validity if Congress choose
to annul. In answer to the Prophets
suggestion that if that was the doc
trine Of the Government Utah might
demand to be admitted as a State, the
Speaker became emphatic and said
that Utah could never be admitted as
q State so long as the institution of
polygamy is upheld and practiced by
the Mormon Church. This mode of
looking at the matter appeared to net
tie the Prophet, but he kept his temp
er and proceeded to long disserta-
ton on the relative purity Of the NOR
ais of the Eastern cities in comparison
with the morals Of utah, contending
that the superiority was on the side of
the latter. The interview was CON
cluded by the Prophets suggesting
that if Congress was gong to do any
thing about the matter, it had better
go to work and not be always worry
ing over Utah and attempting to legis-
late without accomplishing anything,

SPIRIT OF THE AGE
Thursday June 5, 1873.
RepubIicanism and the Country.

On the 4th of March, 1861, the So
called Republican party of the country
was installed in power over National
Government. Since that unfortunate
event-for we cannot truly designate
it otherwise-over twelve years have
passed away, and now in casting about
for the results or rather the fruits OF
said Administration, we ask what
have they been Z? And if the country
is in any better condition to-day, all
things duly considered, than it was at
the time this selfsame spolitical party
took the "Ship of State" In 1861
when that party assumed the reigns
Of government, our country, except
4 slight ruffie in some Of the Southern
States, was at peace within self, and
with the world, and all mankind and
general prosperity and satisfaction pre-
vailed among the people and through
out the Union.
In 1860 we had African Slavery in
these United States-an institution
which we never considered just-but
tolerated under certain unavoidable
circumstances the Civil War abolish
ed it, and upon its expensive and
bloody funeral pile the Radical party
have secured for the country an over
whelming national debt--a centralized
power, wherein our State and other
Local Authorities 0,etst YIELD to the
Federal Government, against the re-
quirements Of the Constitution Of the
United States. The Judges Of the
Federal Court have been recently re-
modelled Git is thought to dispense
partisan fayors rather than to perform
their old fashioned Constitutional
duties Of dispensing law justly with
out fear or favor" Our country is not
at peace. Some Of the Southern
States are in most woetjll condition.
in chaos and contilsion-all for the
purpose Of keeling the 'power' of
those States in the hands Of the
dominant political party. Look at the
crime the corruption high-handea
robberies, and the lawlessncss that is
now being carried on by the powers
that be- at Washington, unmolested.
Need we name these disgracetul trans
actions, these outrages, these uslwpa-
tons, for they are many and cannot
well be blinked out Of sight. These
are the legitimate fruits Of twelve
years administration Of the counter
felt Republican party. Are the people
Of the country satisfied with them .
This is now the all-important question.
That was beautiful and instluc-
tive speech made by General Grant at
his old home in Galena He said, in
his usual touching and pathetic style:
"Although it is probable that I never
will live among you, but in the future
be only a visitor as ! am at present,
yet I hope to spend some days with
you every year and remain longer
than | have been able to this time,
and | expect to cast my vote here al
ways. | repeat my thanks for this
cordial reception" Now Of what use
are laws? Here is the President of
the United States deliberately announc-
ing that he does not propose to take
up his residence in Galena but that he
will always cast his vote there when
every school boy in the United States
very well knows that aman cannot
vote where he does not have his resi-
dencc. What giant and vigorous
intellect this man has!
