Our greatest inconvenience here is, mail
only once a month, and sometimes that
fails to connect. So you can easily per-
ccive we are an isolated community. and
although our climate is not nearly as
cold and harsh as many believe it to be,
still it would hardly compare with Los
Angeles for sunshine and fruits. Ger
tainiy We can't complain about lack of
rain, and n fair supply Of snow, but at
no time last winter was the mcrcury

the past six weeks we have had as pleas

Harpsr's Weekly denies that 1t has ever ed
torialiy credited Tilden with the exposure of
the Tweed Ring, aud says its opinions on that
subject have undergone no change. 1t holds
that, while Mr.. T lden undoubtedly despised
Tweed, yet, as a Democratic politician and
for the sake of the Democratic party he prac-
tically gave his countenance to him, and in
stead Of openly and manfully opposing. him,
and seeking to rally around himself the better
elements Of his party, Mr.. Tilden, during
Tweed's ascendancy, was content to denounce
the Republican party and Capitalization,
which was what Tweed desired that when
public opinion, without regard to party, was
Indignantly aroused, and good citizens every
where were combining to overthrow the Ring,
Mr.. TiIden hesitated and delayed that he de-
clned to attend the great meeting at which
the Committee of Seventy was appointed to
head the movement against Tweed, just as nc
declined, when Sumpter was fired upon, to
join in the great meeting to pledge New York
to the support of the Government and that
he did not heartily and unreservedly engage
in the crusade against Tweed until he saw
that he could do so without injury to the
Democratic party or to his standing IN it. =
It adds ssAnd we have always said that
when he thought that result secure he work
ed zealously and efficiently for the exposure
of Tweed"

Mr.. Congressman Whitthorne, of the Naval
Committee, accuses everything he does not
understand, and spends more time in accumu-
knowledge. He reported to the House that
81, OOO, 900 remained unaccounted for in the
Naval Bureau of Clothing. To him, with
his knowledge of bookkeeping, it was unac-
countable, but as matter Of fact there were
two transfers, one of 100000 and one of
$500, 900 from the clothing bureau to the sur
plus fund, which closed the transaction. 1t

tB- The Trenton True american publishes
the following
Wanted Immediately, for the use of the
Republican press:
a biography of Hayes which does not omit
the only noticeable act of his political life,
namely the voting for and pocketing the
salary grab.
Tie True American and other Democratic
papers utter wilfpl untruth when they make
this assertion. Hayes was notsa member of
Congress when the salary grab /" was passed
and therefore neither voted for 1t nor pocketed
It.
Perhaps the True american and other
sheets ave forgotten the fact that fifty
three Democratic members Of Congress voted
for the salary grab" and only Mirty-seren
against it, while majority of the Republicans
voted against the increase.

We three
Reformers be,
Tilden, Tweed,
Aud Morrissey.

Tilden quotes at considerable length from \
speech he made in 1868 to show what dismal
picture lie drew of the finaacial state of af-
fairs at that time. The Cincinnati Gazette
SAYS that he does not go back far enough -
!" He could reproduce still more pictures
which he drew in 1864, 1868. 1869, 1861, and
how he pronounced the defense Of the Uni' n
against secession the destruction OF the Con-
stitution and liberty, and how he called Lin
coin and his shirelings murderers, and every
Confederate soldier whom they made to turn
nm his toes a martyr. Indeed, Samuel has
been saying very bad things about our Gov
eminent for many years. The worst were
said in the war, when his Southern masters
were getting hurt. If he goes back to repre-
duce himself, In the despairing view he took
Of tho country, he should go back to his
strougeat and blacklist pictures, when he was
prononncng the war of defense nnconstitu-
tional, and was encouraging draft riots in New
York city"

AN ALLIGATOR IN THE DELAWARE
Wissinoming, on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
about five miles from Philadelphia was stirred
IN. few days since, by the capture in the
Delaware, at the mouth Of the Wissinoming
creek, of an alligator six and a half feet long
Mr.. 4. b. Hellings, one of the captors has Sc
cured his alligatorship in tank. The rep
tile seems to be only half grown. 1t ia
thought that 1t either escaped from some
travelling show or is one of the sixteen or sew
enteen alligators recently stolen from Eight
and Filbert streets. An exhibitor of alliga-
tors stated that he lost one ON his trip to Tren-
tor. Itslipped out of the box into the Delaware.
There has been no swimming in the Delaware
since. The boys will be glad the animal has
been captured.

A BAD ExAMPLE.-The Democrats of the
House of Representatives have set bad ex-
ample. They have stopped public improve
ments at the very moment when the laborers
and mechanics of the country were most in
need of work. Public buildings needed for
the convenience of the service must be fin.
ished, sooner or later. To turn men out of
employment in dull times, when their labor
is actually required to complete what has
been commenced, is, to say the least, mis-
taken policy, and one that will react on the
party that is responsible for it.
The very time to push forward all neces-
sary Improvements Is In the presence of a
general business depression. 1t encourages
labor it sets good example to capitalists !;
it does much toward reviving confidence and
restoring industry. But for the Government
to plead poverty and act as if it was on the
verge of bankruptcy is to invite business de-
preston and to contribute to the widespread
suffering which always follows enforced idle
ness among the working classes.
The practice of economy does not call for
acts of injustice. To allow men to starve
under the very shadow of an unfinished pub
lie building may be called economy, but it is
not for though the suspension of work may
retain few thousands of dollars in the Trea-
sury, it has entailed upon hundreds Of honest
men who kno,o that their labor is needed an
amount of misery which cannot be justified
on any grounds of public necessity.
In their insane idea to go before the people
with an imposing array of figures which shall
represent so many millions saved by Demo-
Gratis the House of Representatives have
cut down tho wages of the laborer and turned
out of employment, not only thousands who
were at work upon necessary improvements,
but indirectly other thousands who were en-
gagged in the manufacture of material used
Thus the suspension of work upon public
building not only affects those engaged in its
erection, but the larger number who depend
upon the money expended for their daily
bread.
Instead of building up confidence, the pres
ent House of Representatives have been stu
diously engaged for the past seven months In
tearing it down. It is possible that on its
ruins they may ride into power, but it is
hardly probable. In our opinion, they have
aroused storm OF indignation which will
sweep from them the brief authority they OBJ
tanned under false pretenses, and replace them
by men of wisdom, who will legislate for the
good Of the country, and who will regard the
interests of the working man above the sell
fish interests of party.--The Republic.

The most Remarkable RemedyEever dis
covered.
Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster

At no time in the history of true medicine
has an article appeared which has met with
greater approval and success than Benson's 8
Capcine Plaster. Why they are preferred to
all other porous plasters, is owing to their
improved composition; they act instantan-
eously. cure speedily and effectually.
Physicians and the general public who
acknowledge the great benefits derived from
ever, maintain that their action Is not sufci-
emily prompt, requiring time. patience and
continuous wear to effect q cure. Benson's
Capclne Plaster Overcomes this difficulty Ivy
accomplishing in q few hours, that which it
takes any other Plaster as many days
Although recent discovery-Capcine
has been thoroughly tested by physicians,
and IN each instance has been pronounced
the most remarkable, safe, certain and thoro-
ughly eifications remedy ever discovered.
Incorporating Capcne in an improved
Porous Plaster has been accomplished after
repeated solicitations from the medical fra
ternity and is now prescribed by them with
unprecedented success; especially IN Rheu-
matism, P!eurisy, stubborn Colds, Kidney
Complaints and all diseases for which a
Porous Plaster has been used.
Its marvellous influence over the clrcula-
ton, and general effect on the system Is al
IN ST incredible; from the moment of its APP
plication to the affected part, it operates with
astonishing NcOr-brIngs relict and cures
more efectually than any known Plaster,
Liniment or Compound.
1t is genuine pharmaceutical prepara'
ton of the highest order of merit; its ingrc'
dients are entirely vegetable and free from
Mineral or Metal POisons. One trial will
convince the most skcptical OF its superiority
over the ordinary Porous Plasters. When
you desire prompt and immediate relief, ask
your Druggist for Benson's Capcinc Plaster
