We rather guess the Republicans vii
conclude that the Independents know how
to run their party, after all, as they have
made no trades with anybody, and have
absolutely dictated the organization OF both

The Independents say that they main
tanned last night their determined attitude
of non intercourse with the Democrats, and
by sheer force Of inertia refused all over

A VALUABLE BLOOD REMEDY We
take pleasure in calling attention tc
CRUMBS PERUVIAN Alternative, which
may now be had at our Drug Stores, as
certainly the most wonderful remedy ever
used for Scrofulous, Venerial, Rheumat-
tic and all Chronic Blood Affections We
insert an extract from letter written to a
gentleman in Buffalo, N. Y, reciting the
cure of a Scrotulous Skin Eruption. which
completely covered the face, and had for
years baffled all the medical skill that
could be employed, 1t runs thus:
Dear Cousin-The first thing that we
propose to do is to express to you our
sincere and unbounded thanks for your
kindness in sending to us CRUMBS PERU
WAN Alternative. We used it accord
ing to directions, and the results are most
gratifying. We had learned to have faith
10 nothing, as we had tried everything,
besides raging hundreds of dollars to doc
tors. as you are we'll aware-all to no
avail The, Peruvian Alternative seems to
have effected complete cure. Her com,
plexion is not yet clear-it looks brown
where the eruption stood, but we think she
will outgrow it. 1t is now six years
since the eruption broke out, and we had
began to despair of ever getting her cured
We feel that your sending the Peruvian
Alternative was providential and her cure
almost a miracle. -.-

This suggestion to Gen. Sherman is
made by the Springfield, Mass, Repabli-
can: "On occasion, Gen. Sherman has
shown that he can write as good letter as
the next one-and little better. Suppose
he should take this occasion to write one to
President Grant, resigning his commission
as general, and putting his resignation dis
tinctly upon the ground that he cannot
reconcile it with his honor as soldier Or
his duty as citizen to connive, even by 81
lence, at the systematic prostitution of the
army to partisan and personal uses, and
still less its use to violently remove the old
land marks of constitutional liberty. He
would, be the most popular man in the
country. Nothing but a special interyen-
ton of Divine Providence could prevent
himIfrom being the next President"

Nor SURPRIsED-When we consider the
little attention which is paid to the laws
of health, by the citizens of this country,
we cannot be surprised at the indifference
manifested by them in relation to the pur.
ity of the articles that are used 10 their
daily food. If all articles put upon the
market were like DR.. Prices True Flavor
ing Extracts and Cream Baking Powder
this indifference might answer, their per
feet wholesomness wouldfnsure US against

When you want favoring extract or a
baking powder ask for DR.. Prices, you
will soon be convinced that for strength

An Honorable Protest Against the
Outrage.

From the New York Times. Republican,
The use which was made of the United
States troops seems to have been an ex-
treme exercise of power and one for
which the President. who is primarily
responsible for it. mnst find it very diff
cult to show adequate authority. The
United States guarantee to each State a
republican, form Of government, and,
on requisition, protection against domes-
tic violence. In this case there was no
recent requisiIlon, and there was no actu-
al violence. The Governor called in the
troops in anticipation of his own HELPLESS
ness, aud engaged their commander in
acts which have never yet been performed
by United States Army officer. The
troops did not aid the State forces. They
replaced them. We do not believe the
country will regard such procedure with
approval. If it does, the consequences to
our system of government cannot be cas-
lily foreseen.

The independents and the Bourbons


Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Jan, 8.-The hide
pendents have made the most of their situa-
ton. They dictated the organization OF
both houses. They can claim with as
much truth as commonly obtains in party
politics that they have secured the oreani-
z.fion in both. In fact they have captured
the house. The Democrats have captured
the senate. At least it is but the fair
divide" that was insisted upon by the
bourbons. But the Democrats only Sc
cured their share on that divide by forcing
the bourbons to take back seats. On the
back seats, too, the indications are, the
bourbons will be kept during the session.
OF necessity the leadership must be as
signed to tie enlightened Democracy.
There has as yet been no fusion. The
Independents have thus far carried out
the fair divide fairly, and have succeeded
in so doing without the least appearance
of any such thing Throughout, however,
they have maintained intact their organi-
cation. All their nominations have been
made in separate caucus. The allotment
il. the divide has been dictated by ths M.
/ is within their power to carry out re-
forms which they promised before the
election. They have told what needed re-
form. Now, if they he not cheats, they
can effect reform. They can retreneh.
They can reduce taxation If they under
take not too much, they can accomplish
enough in the way of practical business
legislation to warrant their coming here.
THERE'S vast deal more which, if they
leave untouched, will entitle them to the
respect if not the gratitude of the people

The Chemistry Of the Stomach.

As in the more delicate processes of the labora-
tory it is essential that the reagents employed to
produce chemical changes In matter should be un-
contaminated SO also it is imperatively necessary
that the fluids of the stomach, which act chemically
upon the food, should be perfectly pure. When the
stomach is acid it is because these fluids vita
ted or diluted SIMILARLY, other forms Of indges-
ton arise from a deficiency of the chemical prop
critics of the gastric juices. The most direct and
agreeable way TO restore their purity and improve
their quality, is to take before each meal q wine
glassfull of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
corrects acidtv, render digestion complete and
painless, and overcome the constipation which il
produces. The nervousness and weakness result
Ing from chronic dyspepsia, also disappear unde
its influence.

Will Nothing Make Them Pause ?

The New York Times, for ability, char
acter, and influence, is the principal news
paper which represents and advocates the
principles and policy of the Republican
party in this country, and here is what it
says VI the present condition of things in
Louisiana:
Such dispatch as that which Gen.
Sheridan sent to the secretary of war on
Tuesday is not warranted by any facts
known to the public-could scarcely be
warranted under any conceivable circum-
stances. We have never published such a
document before, and we must say that
nothing like it has ever been seen in eoun-
try under constitutional government. 1t
almost induces one to believe that the
world has gone back two or three hundred
years in the theory and practice of govern
ment, Cromwell did, indeed, serve Ire
land pretty much as Gen. Sheridan pro
poses to treat Louisiana but most of US
were under the impression that that sys
tenn Of government had been defnitively
abandoned. We are at loss to make out
what are Gen. Sheridan ideas of the con-
stitution under which he lives, or of the
functions of congress, or of the powers of
the executive, to say nothing of the pow
ers which may rIghtfully be exercised by a
lieutenant general in the army. He first
of all suggests that congress should pass a
! bill declaring certain class of the people
of Louisiana, Arkansas. and Mississippi
'banditti How many he would include
in this class does not appear, nor res he
explain since what date in our history it
has been usual for officers in the army to
presume to dictate to congress as to the
legislation it should adopt. But moment
atterward still better idea strikes him,
and he says, 1t is possible that, if the
President would issue proclamation de-
claring them banditti, no further action
need be taken ercept that achach acOuld de
uOlUe upon me. 1T this means anything.
it meass that Gen. Sheridan would forth
with proceed to hang or shoot as many per-
sons as he chose to bring under his own
description of 'banditti' We have then a
plain proposal that the President should
declare an indefinite number of citizens
'banditti, and that Gen. Sheridan should
then deal with them without benefit of
judge or jury. This would certainly be re-
solving government into its primitive ele
ments, but there is shorter cut still which
1t is for the President to declare the con
stitution and all its amendments annulled,
shut up congress, put down all the news
papers, and then proclaim himself dictator,
with Gen. Sheridan as his sole minister
and chief executioner If Gen. Sheridan
had advised this course at once. he would
scarcely have shown a greater Ignorance
or disregard of law than he has done in
his most extraordinary, and we must add
disgraceful, dispatch of Jan. s.
If Gen. Grant and his wild and deluded
| tollowers-for advisers he has none-were
not as mad as the men who in 1861 pre-
| cipitated the war of the rebellion upon the
country, they would listen to warnings like
these, uttered by the most important or
gans of their party, and abstain from the
crimes they are committing.
The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1875-01-11

There are three things which congress
may do. One is to declare Louisiana to
be in state of war Ia fact patent to every
body,) and thus inaugurate a genuine and
undisguised military government in place
of the monstrous sham of pretended civil
government now existing only as thin
disguise of military rule. Another is, to
order the withdrawal of every soldier from
Louisiana, and let the political barbarians
have full swing to disembowl and extermi-
nate each other, The third is the step
proposed by Mr. Hale, which implies a
recognition of the fact that no constitution
al government is now in existance in Louis
lana, and proposes an election for calling a
constitutional government into existence.
One or another of these three courses it is
piainly the duty of congress to adopt and
pursue, without delay Chicago Times.
The only thing congress needs to do is to
order every U. S, officer and soldier to
cease meddling with the affairs of that
state, and the people will then restore
peace and equitable and honest govern
ment without 'disembowelling' anybody.
