How many wretehed homes in our landi How
many heart broken invalids! Life with many sig
mites mere onerous existence. All are subject
to disease, but when health is removed the hope
is nearly gone out. Sickness is usually incurred
through exposure or csrelessness. Especially is
this true with those diseases peculiar to woman
Through her own imprudence and folly she is
made to drag out miserable existence-a source
of annoyance and anxiety to her friends, and any
thing but a comfort and pleasure to herself. Ex-
posure to the cold at times when she should be
the most prudent, and Overtaxing her body with
laborious employment, are both fruitful causes
of many of the maladies from which she suffers.
Gradually the bloom leaves her cheeks, her lips
grow ashy white, her vivaeity departs, she con-
tinually experiences a feeling of weariness and
general languor, and altogether presents ghost
" appearance. What does she need. Should
she take some stimulating drug, which will for
the time make her ''feel better.n or does her en-
tire system demand reparation' She requires
something which not only will restore to health
the diseased organs, but will tone and invigorate
the system. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
will do this. 1t imparts strength to the diseased
parts, brings back the glow of health, and re-
stores comfort where previously there was only
suffering.
Every invalid lady should send for " The Peo.
ple's Common Sense Medical Adviser" in which
over fifty pages are devoted to the consideration
of those diseases peculiar to Women. 1t will be
sent post paid, to any address, for Sl.50. Ad-

RISING TO ExPLAIS.-Quite a number Of pa
pers in the State are just now busily engaged in
explaining that they are Republican papers, and
always have been so. Is it possible that their
readers are not aware of the fact, without long
arguments to convince themi The very fact
that they find it necessary to explain, shows
that there is gronnd to doubt it. The truth is
the Republican Conventions failed to nominate
the pets of some of these papers, and therefore
they opposed the tickets. Some of them sue
ceeded in defeating portion of the tickets, and
some of them didn't. Now they want to argue
the question, and prove what good Republicans
they are. The Holton Recorder is trying to ex-
plain. The Hiawatha Herald, after doing all
that a paper could do to defeat the Republican
party in that County, and throw the offices into
the hands of Democrats, now says that it always
has been Republican, and hereafter will be an
outspoken Republican paper. There is paper
in this County, that was misled by little stink
and great expectations to take the independent
reform ehnte. 1t will be trying to wiggle back,
in due time.

"STRAIGHT AS A GoUGE."-We take pleasure
in referring to the vote of Highland, on the Office
of County Clerk. For years, there has been a
feeling of jealousy or spite-we do not know
exactly which-existing between the two places,
that generally exhibited itself in the vote at
elections-more especially the Republican vote.
When there was a candidate on the ticket from
White Cloud, he would receive but a meagre
vote at Highland; and when a candidate was
from Highland, White Cloud scratched him.
There was only occasional lull in this striking
back, in exciting Presidential campaigns. This
year, White Cloud had a candidate, and it was a
remarkable year, too, for slashing tickets. As a
rule, the Republican ticket was in the minority
at Highland, this time; but it will be seen that
Mr.. FOrncrOok ran very nearly up with the aver
age ticket There are votes that cannot be con-
trolled straight under any circumstances, and
the wonder is that there were 80 few of this kind
Mt Highland, on this particular candidate. High
land has certainly done the "clean thing" this
time; and if White Cloud does mot return the
compliment when the next occasion offers, she
will be to blame for future throat-cutting.

A ANUIsANCE-That is what the law is, fixing
County and Township elections on the same day.
The only atonement the men who passed the law
can make, is to repeal it, the very first opportu-
nity 1t causes only bother and confusion, and
seriously interferes with a proper expression of
public opinion at the polls. The most important
points st issue are made subservient to the most
Insignificant. In Township elections, the most
important fellows lin their own estimation,)
and the most active and noisy, the Consta-
bles. They woald trade off a vote for President
for one for themselves They do most CT tn
electIoneering and bumming. They care not
snap what ticket a man votes, that it has
their name upon it. We think We may safely
say that scores of voters in this County, at the
late election, voted for County officers that th ey
did not intend to, or did not know for whom they
did vote, simply by being snatched about and
worried by excited candidates for Township Off
ees. This thing should be remedied. Give these
overshadowing Township candidates day to
themselves, and leave the people free to vote un-
derstandingly at County, State and National cleo
tions.

Do AWAY WITH ThE NATIONAL BANKs.-Not-
withstanding the public well know the fact, we
repeat here again that while we hold that the
present national bank notes make better cir
cnlating medium by far than the issues of the
old State banks, we do Rot favor their contin-
uance, as they not entirely satisfactory cur
rency.
The greenback is very much better-although
it is as yet only partial legal ltender-inasmuch
as it has all the virtues of bank note. and saves
to the people interest to the amount of about
twenty million dollars annually, which would
otherwise be added to a like amount now unwise-
ly paid to the banks on bonds pledged for the
security of national bank notes used by the peo-
pie, and which are about equal in volume to the
greenbacks.
We oppose the issue of currency by banks, for
the reason that no benefit can possibly accrue to
the people therefrom to balance the cost by way
of interest paid by the people on the bonds pledg
ed for its security. This bank circulation ought
to be replaced by national paper money tokens.
thus saving the interest on these bonds, held as
security for the payment of bank note currency.

P4AYFUL WAYs.-The Wathena Reporter says
it has feeling of malice toward any of the late
Republican candidates in this County, but
the contrary has friendly feeling for them.
We suppose it was with feelings of the purest
good will that it charged them with being in
league and partnership with horse-thieves; with
committing perjury in order to defraud the
County out of their just share of taxes; with
having design to swindle and rob the County |;
with being sports and nincompoops; and with
every species and manner of villainy imaginable.
These were only terms of endearment-it is a
way the editor of the Reporter has of comph-
menting those against whom he holds no malice.
That Watbena stink has perverted all the
faculties of the editor of the Reporter that he is
in about the same fix as the Dutchmans son
Yawpy. The old gentleman took great pride IN
the youths intelligence and politeness one day
a visitor at the house, and the old man, as
usual, was dilating upon the smartness and man
ners of Yawpy. But be was not satisfied with
talk-he must give the visitor an illustration.
Calling to the boy, who was engaged out doors
at play, he said
"Yawpy, COON right in here, and show de
shentleman vat you knows"
"Go to h-ll, you d-d old fool, and show him
yourselfp' came back in reply.
"Ah!" said the Dutchman, turning to the visit
or, lyon must oxcoose Yawpy. He's got such
bad cold, he's almost fool"

The UNCONSTITUTIONAL Amendments.

The Constitutional Amendments submitted at
the late election are undoubtedly adopted. Some
cpr;ons results have been revealed in different
narts of the State In some Counties there was
,carcely any vote given on the propositions; in
otbers the vote was almost unanimous in their
favor. Init IL almost invariably appears that
where the propositions have been fairiy discuss
ed, there are large majortIes against them.
1t must long ago have struck every observing
person, that the submission OF Constitutions and
Constitutional Amendments to the popular vote
is a stupendous farce. A Constitution is the
very foundation of State and of all its laws.
Yet, in voting upon snch propositions, not one
voter in ten knows what he is voting for, or
cares to know. They either neglect to vote at
all upon the question, or conclude that it is a
measure of reform, and they will go for it, and
try it. 1t is almost an utter impossibility, that
in any County, where any question is thoroughly
discussed and understood, there can be an una
nimity of opinion, or even an overwhelming ma
jority. Even in the matter of party politics, the
Counties giving what may be termed overwhelm-
ing msjorities are comparatively few, and in a
majority of these, some unusual influence is held
over the voters. But on grave Constitution

with hip and hurrahi and cast almost unani-
nous votes for them. In the recent election on
the adoption of the new Constitution of Missouri,
there was but light vote polled, and that was al
most unanimously for the Constitution. 1t is folly
to claim that the vote was given understandingly.
They simply knew that the Constitution was to
be voted upon, and voted yes, Without knowing
or caring why. But when a would-be leading
lawyer Of Kansas, when solicited for his candid
opinion, for the guidance of voters, replied that
the people would adopt the amendments and the
Supreme Court would decide upon their validity,
what could be expected of the unthinking mass
es, who know nothing of Constitution or lawi
Thus we go on, year after year, patching and
botching the Constitution of our State, with lit
tie or no effort to enlighten the voters who de-
eide these questions, or even to understand them
ourselves, We guess that it is pretty good
thing, and well try it-and so we are getting
patchwork Constitution that cannot COM
prehend, and that it will soon be impossi bic for
the Supreme Court to understand.

a The week before the election, we made
statement relative to the amount allowed Mr..
Rappelye for making up the tax books of last
year, and said that Mr.. Forncrook could have
done the work in less time, without hiring extra
help. While Mr.. Rsppelye admits the correct
ness of our figures, he thinks we did him injus-
tice by leaving the impression that somebody
else could have done the work for less money.
He says the work was paid for by the folio, not
by the day, and that the price for it would have
been the same, had it been done in one month or
three-by one person or a dozen; but instead of
earning all this money himself he paid portion
Of IT to others, while the County was none the
loser by it. We had intended giving this expla-
nation of Mr.. Rappelye last week, but in the
hurry incident to the election, forgot it. 1t was
not our aim to do any candidate injustice, much
less one of Mr.. Rappelye's high standing for hon.
esty.

THAT DEPUTYsHIP.-Mr. Bridges requests us
to say to the numerous individuals who are just
now making themselves unhappy with the
tion that he is to be Treasurer Flickinger's dep
uty, that Mr.. Flicknger has never rendered or
promised him the deputyship; that he has never
applied for the deputyship, either personally or
through any friend; and that he does not want
the deputyship. As it will be almost year be-
fore Mr.. Flickinger takes charge of the Office, it
is not worth while to borrow trouble on such
long time.

Y The Wathena Reporter sees in the result
of the election in this Commissioner District,
terrible rebuke of Cy. Leland's ring, because,
notwithstanding there was almost 100 majority
against him in Wayne Township, he is still cleo
ted by over 100 majority. Those who cannot see
the point of this logic, must recollect that the
editor of the Reporter possesses powerful brain
and takes time to grapple with and thoroughly
master all such intricate questions.

- Peterson's Magazine for December, is ahead

1t has two splendid steel plates one of them, "a
Little Tot" as cunning as possible; mamoth
colored fashion plate; a superb colored pattern
for a slipper; and nearly-6fty wood-cuts of fash
ions and patterns. The stories are by the very
best authors, all powerfully written. For 1876,
in addition to the 100 shorter stories, five copy
righted novels are annoupced: one of them, ''The
days of '76," by Mr.. Ann 5. Stephens, is just the
thing for the Centennial year. Certainly, all
things considered, this Magazine has no equal at
its price. The terms are astonishingly low, viz:
Two dollars year, the postage prepaid by the
publisher. The prices to clubs are cheaper still
postage also pre-paid), viz: Three copies for
$3.50, with a superb Mezzotint, (21 inches by 26)
"Christmas Morning" the finest and eostliest
ever offered, to the person getting up the club I;
or six copies for $1,000 postage pre- e-paid), and
both an extra copy aud the premium engraving

clubs the prices are even lower Specimens of
