fer high rates of interest. Railroad bonds
granted by companies that have not paid up
capital stock and the railroad bonds granted
by towns and cities of the West for various

How DO Won Feel s

The fervid heats of summer are now over In
what condition have they left you? Is your liver
torpid OF disordered, your appetite feeble your di
gestion imperfect, or painful YOUR nervous system
shaky, your mind lethargic? This is the state in
which the autumn finds tens of thousands of us, and
this state we ripe for the malarious fevers and
bowel complaints, and bilious diseases, which the
heavy dews, the vapors and the vast difference be-
tween the temperature Of night and day are apt to
engender. Rouse yourself from this condition with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Wake up the latent
vitality of the body, which only requires the stimu-
latng, strengthening and regulating agency of this
mighty vegetable restorative to enable it to resume
its activity and potency. Indigestion biliousness,
miasmatic fevers and disorders of the bowels, are
the usual sequences of long heated term. Prevent
or cure them with the Bitters You can do either,
but prevention is best.

"Political and Social Ceurtesies. ,,

Several weeks since when President Grant
was in Maine, class of unreconstructed
Maine Bourbons who entertain all of the
class bitterness of their Southern masters
without any of their courtesy, criticised the
conduct Of leading Democrats. Any civility
shown to political opponent is regarded by
them either as an evidence of treason to his
party or''a social slop over" Under the above
heading, the Belfast Journal, one Of the best
papers 10 Maine, aside from its politics, makes
the following sensible suggestions on the sub
ject:
1t is to be hoped that the time will never
come in this country when social intercourse
will be controlled by the opinions which men
or women NAV hold on any subject, more es-
pecially in matters of politics. Certainly the
plan of our government means that, while
mingling freely and socially with those with
whom neighborhood or the chances of travel
may bring us in contact, we may agree to disa-
gree on matters of opinion and practice in 9TH
er respects. If Mr. Representative Hale opens
his house and invites his friends to meet him
socially, it throws no suspicion upon his party
fealty that his invitation includes democrats; it
affects not the party standing of any democrat
who accepts When Mr. Speaker Blaine who
with the chief magistrate as his guest, invites
to his. house, he would be indeed churl who
should refuse such courtesy for the reason that
his political opinions are not in accord with
those of the host and his principal guest. Such
an occasion is one in which a gentleman will
sink the politician, and be only the American
citizen. When Que whom the democratic par
ty has honored with its confidence and sutfra-
ges, does graceful and acceptable act of cour-
tesy to the head OF the nation during his tour,
it should not be made the text for inuendoes, or
published as "a social slop over" 1t would
scarce have been thus characterized had the re-
cipient been the Prince of Wales or the Grand
Duke of Russia. Why not then be courteous to
the head of our own nation, as well as to the
prospective ruler of another? Let the day be
far distant when walls of exclusion shall be
erected against social amenities between those
whose theories of government policy do not
happen to agree.
The Maine Standard joins the Journal in
administering a deserved rebuke to those who
would make an honest difference in political
opinions the cause of hurtful social distinc-

Outside Bonds,

To the Editor Of the Press
was pleased to see in your issue of yester-
day the remarks on the western bonds afloat in
this city and state.
1t has been in my way to see many of these
unknown bonds; 1t is surprising the quantity
owned in this immediate vicin ty, the holders
of which being entirely ignorant of their intrin-
sic value, and when asked what they know of
their investment their answer is; nothing on
ly that the man that they purchased them of
said they were good and would pay 10 per cent
interest" l understand that most of these
bonds are refused at our banks as collat-
eral for money. What do our people, or any
one know about the value of the Northern Pa
cfc Railroad bonds?-who knows how much
stock was ever subscribed and paid in as a basis
for the bonds? 1 understand that the only ba-
sis is the land granted by Congress. If this is the
case, where does the money come from to pay
the interest on the bonds? From the money re-
ceved from the sale of bonds, of course; and
when the bonds are all sold what then? 1t will
be long time before the land will sell to pay
the interest," to say nothing of the principal.
1t will be long time before the enterprise will
be completed,
1t is not my object to iujure the credit of any
security ahoat in the Market but being aware
that hundreds of people of small means are induc-
ed to scrape together few hundred dollars to in
vest in securities of doubtful character because
OF their high rates of interest, think it right
to warn people to look out how they buy bonds
of Western railroads, cities and towns which
promise to pay extravagant rates of interest;
for the higher the rate of interest, the greater
the risk of purchasing 1 am pleased that you
have alluded to this subject and trust you will
not stop with one article. PORTLAND.

MANY is for the Government to build four

who shall own their own rolling stock. New
