Who has the right to sell the privilege"
Of selling sheer" (which doubtless means in-
toxieating liquors Of all kinds), on the cen.
tenuial ground, next year? Fifty thousand
dollars for that privilege! And fifty thous-
and more profit, without doubt And this
fact is to characterize the great Centennial
American celebration, before the world Is
it honorable to exhibit the drunken element

increases even beyond the generous
limit OF the law. Kellogg aud bis
crew grow rich while Louisiana is
ruined.
There, gentlemen Of the United
States Senate is q picture OF
your; doings, drawn by three Of the

not imagine that you can humbug the
people by throwing the blame of this
shocking state of affairs upon VIII
liam Pitt Kellogg. He is nothing but
your creature. You allow the Pres
i.lent to trnst him into the place he
abuses. You have refused to turn
him out when You have had the pow
or, though you have known for more
than two years what he is. You sus~
tanned him ia spite of the disclosures
of the Senate Committee in 1873;
and you mean to sustain him now, i'll
spite Of the revelations of Messfs.
Foster, Phelps, and Potter. 1t has
been Il Verse crime than negligence
or servility on your part; for you
have done all this with your eyes
vide open, that you might use Kel-
losy to control the vote Of Louisiana
for the Administration. Go on, if
you choose, and complete the outrage.
Sanction all that the President
has done. Seat Pinchback and thank
Sheridan. The people will settle
with Kellogg and all the rest Of you
by and by. Meanwhile the Report
of the Sub, Committee passes into his

WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 1876

The approach ol. the Presidential e]ec-
ton gives unusual Importance to the

faithfully, and trarlessly.
THE WEEKLY Sun has now attain
Ell a circulation OF over severity thou
sand copies. It's readers are toun,i III
every State and Territory, and its quail
ty is we'll known to the public. We
shall not onl y e,ileavor to keep it fully
up to the old standard, but to improve
and add to its variety and power.
THE WEEKLY Sun will continue to

1t will he full OF entertaining and ap-
propriatc reading Of every sort, but will
print nothing to offend the most scrupu-
Ions and delicate taste. 1t will always
contain the most interesting stories and
ro,aances Of the day, carefully selected
and lcgihly printed.
The Agricultural Department is a
prominent feature in the Weekly Sun,
and it's articles will always be found
fresh and useful to tho farmer.
The number of men independent in
politics is increasing, and the Weekly
Sun is their paper especially. 1t belongs
to no party, and ol"Ts no dictation, con-
tending for principle, and for the election
Of the best men. It exposes the c"rrup-
ton that disgraces the country and
threatens the overthrow Of republican
institutions. 1t has no fear of knaves
and seeks no favOls from their support.

The Saturday Evening Post.
The Oldest and Best Story Paper Pub
lished. .
Founded August 4, A. D. 1921.

For more than half century the
Saturday Evening Post has been the
GREAT LITERARY WEEKLY
of the Country, and has ever borne a
widespread and unbltmished reputation
for the unsurpassed purity, refinement
and excellence Of the Serials, Sketches
and Miscellaneous reading matter.
It is pre-elninently
The Best Family Paper
that is published in this country, from it's
never containing anything that would
offend the feelings Of any one, either in
religious or political sense, or that
could not be read at any tiresi'le without
objection from the most fastidious.
The circulation Of the Saturday Even
ing Post, through not quite 50 large
perhaps, as its younger contemporaries,
il not, like that of some of them, tluctu-
ating, and too often short lived, but
SURE, SOLID AND SUBSTANTIAL,

per itself and not dependent on any en-
| ttAllcOlS luuuChCcos SuCA do tAC i'opuAAlI~
ty Of individual writers, &c.
Good, however, us the Saturday Even
ing Post has been in the past, it is our
intention to make it still better in the
future, and with t,his object in view We
will effect a marked Improvement in eve
ry department. Of the paper, and vii
call to our assistance writers OF admitted
ability AID known reputation.
By Increasing its former attractions
and adding many judicions and pleas
ing novelties, hy studying how to pleas
and cultivate the popular taste, by in
creasing industry and enterprise, and b.
enlarged facilities, We hope to make ne'
friends with each and every issue. an
t continue to maintain the claim Of Il,
r Saturday Evening Post to its title Of Tn
OLDEST AND THE BEST Of Family StOr
Papers.
