The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has issued circular to the United States
Attorneys in Philadelphia, New York,
Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee and other
cities, authorizing them to bring suit
against parties who did not pay the whole
or any portions of their income taxes. It
is believed that by such suits consider
able sum Of money will be secured for the
Government. There is story that in one
OF our Western campaigns, few years ago,
an ingenious commander strapped the how
itzcrs on the backs of mules and led them
up to commanding position in the face
Of the Indians, but before they could fire
the guns the mules began revolving, and
they soon had the field all to themselves.
This little story is here repeated for Mr..
Green b. Raum's consideration. Before
he sets the United States district attorneys
on to the income-tax dodgers he had bet
ter make sure that they don't make the
howitzer rcvolve too livcly.-Phila. Times.
What party has controlled the affairs Of
the nation for the past sixteen years
The Republican party. Who has levied
and collected enormous taxes, given away
millions Of acres of our public lands, plum
dered the National treasury, squandered
our revenues, paralyzed our industries,
closed our mines, rolling mills, FORCES and
workshops, and brought our people to star
walton, bankruptcy and ruin thrown thou
sands Of honest men out Of work and ban
ished them from their homes to tramp"
upon every thoroughfare and highway in
the land in pursuit Of employment Is
it not the Republican party that is respon-
sible for all this stagnation of business; for
all this misery and woe?
The last Republican House of Repre-
sentatives had one hundred and fifty three
places to fill the Democratic House had
ono hundred and twenty-three. The Re-
publican House had on its rolls eighteen
cx-Union soldiers, six ex-Confederate sol
diers and three colored men, The Demo-
cratic House had thirty-fye ex-Union
soldiers, ten ex-Confederate soldiers and
eleven colored men, Thus the Democrats,
in proportion to the places they had to gil,
appointed nearly three times as many
Union soldiers aud colored men as the
Republicans had appointed. If this sort
of thing is to be made test of loyalty,
the Republicans are the rebels.
General Dix having had his soldiers
convention to hurrah for Hayes, General
Hooker thinks he will have one, too,
to hurrah for Tilden. This "mass conven-
ton Of Union soldiers and sailors in favor
Of reform in the national administration"
is to be held at Albany next month. We
do no see that the Democratic soldiers
have not as good right as the Republican
soldiers to meet and hear speeches and
pass resolutions in behalf of their favorite
candidates.
The New York SIN says it was
pretty big explosion, and it is well over
with but, after all, it was nothing to the
explosion that Uncle Sammy Tilden will
touch off on the 9TH of next November.
On that day the dangerous reef of Grant
ism will be blown into smithereens, and
all of the hidden corruption Of the Repub-
lican party sent sky high. This explosion
will positively occur on the day specified.
There can be no postponcmcnt, for, as
Gen. Newton says, it is a work of "sheer
necessity"
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
dated Washington, September 26, says
A letter received to-day at the Sun bureau
from one of the most prominent Demo-
Gratis Of West Virginia says: "All looks
we'll with us. We will elect all three
members of the House Of Representatives
and oil our candidates on the State ticket.
The legislature is sure. Peter Cooper has
some following along the Ohio river and
may take off thousand votes or so, but
we expect to carry the State by from five
to seven thousand majority"
If Rutherford B. Hayes, year after he
had come into the possession of fortune
Of half million, could air himself among
the upper crust of Ohio in pleasure
carriage worth 1874 drawn by horse
worth $50, he was mean enough to avoid
the payment of his lawful taxes by every
device to which the ordinary tax-dodger
ever resorts.--,S Louis Times.
In the event Of the election Of Tilden
and Hendricks, new era will dawn upon
us, which will revive trade, set the indus
tries Of the nation in motion, giving EN-
ployment to laborers, mechanics and ar
tisians in every vocation and calling.
Vote for Tilden Hendricks and restora-
tiou ofour crippled industries and general
revival of business.
There is but one escape from our present
difficulty there is but one road which will
lead us out Of our fearful condition, but
one course left for US 10 pursue, and that
is to vote for Tilden aud Hendricks. Bus
mess and workingmen, shall we not do
this, and achieve victory decisive and
complete?
One of the many actions that induce
the working classes to anticipate good
