VISITORS AT THE LAKE.-On a reporto-
rial trip around the Lake, Sunday, We
met at Yank's, Judge Hawley and family
who were packing up, yesterday, pre-
paratory to leaving for home, having
made a call at each Of the notable places
around the Lake, first. At the same
place we met Mr.. Harry Peters and wife
who, after visiting Cascade Lake and
Falling Leaf Lake, in the immediate
neighborhood, returned to the Glen
brook, and will probably return to Car
son this evening. There are a number
of Carson people at the Glenbrook,
among whom is Geo. L. Gibson, whose
health is very poor, but little better
than when he left town several days ago.

not the best. He is still building, how
ever, and by the next season there is no
reason why his stopping place may not
be the most attractive on the entire lake
shore.

The N. Y. Mail says that the working peo-
pie of the peaceable and quiet city of Phila-
delphia seem to be in earnest. At meet
ing held few nights ago one of the speakers
proposed that they wait on the Common
Council and demand employment at So a
day, and lift was refused to hang the mem
bers' the Council summarily. Here now is
a practical proposition emanating from a
meeting of workingmen, 1t was not adopted
however.
The Maiden Tribune in discoursing of the
Spanish question sensbly observes that I'M
principled men, spectators and others, who
see in foreign war those opportunities which
times of peace happily afford less frequently,
may avail themselves of this popular feeling
to serve their private ends. In crises like
these the danger is not that the people will
not be sufficiently aroused to redress prof.
fered indignity, but that they will be forced
by designing men into false position; and
he is the statesman therefore and most de-
serving his country's thanks who stands up
against the current, resists the demands of
the unthinking, and replies to the buster of
the demagogue with an appeal for reason and
justice.

comparisons illustrating the relative powers
of wooden and armored vessels of war. We
quote: 1t was in wooden ship, for example,
that Admiral Tegethoff, in the famous fight
Of LISA, ian down and sank the finest iron
clad in the Italian navy-One of the finest,
| indeed, that was ever built. And this re-
| markable achievement the Austrian COM
mander accomplished with scarcely any loss,
| and with only trif1ing damage to his vessel.
1t was with wooden shi;.s fer the most part,
that our own Farragut ran the gauntlet of
forts and batteries at New Orleans and Mo-
bile. 1t was wooden ship. the Varuna,
that in the former engagement destroyed two
Or three iron clad rebel rams before she her
self went down, while in the latter it was an
iron-clad, perhaps the strongest in the fleet,
that had the curious fate Of being destroyed
by torpedo, which her wooden companions
had passed in safety. 1t was with fleet of
WOODEN ships that Admiral Dupont silenced
the batteries at Port Royal, while iron-clads
were repused at Drewry' s.Bluff. If the rec
ords of Mississippi campaigns were carefully
colated, additional proof might be found
that armOr alone does not contain the secret
of naval superiority. And if we recur to
| the first great naval battle which brought
armored and wooden vessels into collision, it
will be seen that it was the Merrimac's power
as a ram, and not her invulnerability that
gave her the victory over the Cumberland
and the Congress. The little Monitor easily
beat her back, crippled and disabled, into
Norfolk, there to be eventually sunk as hope
less OF escape.

Pernfcious pnr.aa;ye..

The brilliant idea of half a century ago that the
weak and aiing could be bled bstered and salivat-
ed uto condition of health and vgor is happily
rloded; but violent and prolonged purgaton is STILL
to some extent in vogue. We have imposters who
are daring enough to offer to the world t0nics and
restoratves the most destructive catharics, unmod-
ifed by single stimulating, soothing restorative
element. Compare the operation of of thes ter
rble nostrums with that of Hostetters Stomach Bit
ters in which combined the three great curative
elements-a touie, an Alternative and an aperient.
The former completely paralyzes the vital forces so
that nature can make no resistance to disease the
latter sustains the strength of the patient, while it
restores the suspended functions of the secretory
gans and relieves the bowels without violence pain
1t is simply choice between restoration and pros
tratiOn.

A New COMPLICATION FOR ENGLAND.-The
Sultan of Atchin having intmated an nten-
ton of calling upon England for aid in his war
of resistance against the Dutch, the British au-
thorites have examined into his claims upon
their material support, and have been rather
startled to find that treaty is in existence be-
tween Great Britain and Atchin which really
justifes the views of the Eastern potentate.
This forgotten treaty bears the date of 1919,
and was made by the East India Company with
former Sultan of Atchin. 1t includes defen-
sive alliance. The Sultan on his part grants to
the company free trade with all his ports, prom
ises to exclude all Europeans and Americans
from fixed habitaton in his dominions, and
agrees to refrain from entering into any treaty
or negotiation with any other power unless
with the knowledge and consent of the British
government. For all these concessions Great
Britain is to extend its protection to Atchin,
getting in return practical monopoly Of trade
with that country.
This treaty has ne yer been annulled; and if
the Sultan of Atchin should claim its enforce
ment, and demand the protection of Great Brit
ain as against Holland, unpleasant complica-
tons might ensue unless, as is most likely,
some legal bubble would relieve the British
government of the obligations contracted by its
agents in 1919.

A gentleman who recently visited Albany,
New York, and was shown over the new
State House being constructed from Hallow-
ell granite, represents the work as presenting
a fine appearance. The building covers more
than three acres, the main building being 140
feet high. The towers on the corners and
sides are 200 feet high, while the main tow
er is 365 feet high and sos feet above the
level of the river. The site is admirable,
affording capital view of the surrounding
country and also of the river for miles.
New York could well afford to wait for so
fine State building.

GEN. BUTLER, his clacquers and organs
are attempting to foment such public feeling
ag inst Messrs. Dawes and Garfield that the
Speaker of the House cannot sustain himself
in re-appointing them to the chairmanships
of the committees, which above all men in
that body they are conspicuously fitted to fill.
The reason assigned Isl that these gentlemen
were connected with the Credit Mobilier scan
dial in such way as to render them unwor-
thy of the confidence of the country. The
purpose of this assault is to break down Mr..
Dawes whom the Butterflies regard as one of
their most formidable opponents. Henry L.
Dawes has been member of Congress for six
teen years, during which time he has been con-
spicuous for his fidelity to the interests of the
nation, for his efforts to introduce economy in
the expenditure of public money and tor his
patient labor to render the burden of taxation
as little oppressive as possible. During all
that time the only charge that can be made
against him is that he held for a short
time some of the Credit Mobilier stock, re-
turning it when he learned its character and
the purpose for which it was sold to him by
Mr.. Ames. He received no profits. He did
not hold it at time when any votes were
pending His associates in the last House in
the opposition, took occasion to declare that
they did not believe that he bought or held
the stock with any improper motive and one
went SO far as to say ''if there was an honest
man in the House, it was Mr.. Dawes" This
clamor comes with i'll grace from the general
in chief of the salary grab and the counsel of
the Credit Mobiler swindlers.
1t is to be hoped that the gentleman who is
to be the Speaker of the House will not be
driven by the clamor of such doubtful friends
of public virtue as Gen. Butler to deprive the
country ofthe experience and ability of such
men as Mr.. Dawes by Tot placing them at
the head of the Committees on which they
have served with so much credit and ability.
