Is it true that Northern soldier, although
a Democrat, can not pass the rebel guard
into the House of Representatives at WASH
ington2 Perhaps our neighbor can answer.
Republican.
We can. The rules of both Houses OF
Congress prevent the intrusion into the halls,
during the sittings, of any persons not privi-
legged by the rules. If the doorkeepers obey
the rules they are to be commended rather
than blamed
We would inquire of our cotemporary,
however, why it is that strict observance
of the law by the Democrats is so distasteful
to the Republicans. Is it because so many
of them are coming to grief?

Previous to the Lancaster Convention we
advocated the selection of Capt. McClelland
as Chairman of our State Central Committee.
He was selected, and now it is time he went
to work. No man knows better than he
that complete organization wins battles. 1t
is about time to organize, and prepare for
the November contest. 1t is folly to wait
for the st. Louis Convention, because it is
fair to presume that we are to make fight
whoever the candidate may be, and our
lines might as well be formed now. At
least the muster roll should be called, and
the wounded missing" and deserted"
noted, as well as the "raw recruits"
Captain, we expect energetic work from
you.

OUR ANSWER.

The appropriation bill has been finally
reported by Chairman Randall in the House
and taken up by sections for consideration.
1t proposes a sweeping reduction of all SAL
aries of ten per cent. In this the Demo-
Gratis again prove themselves the enemies of
the laboring cass.-RepuJlican.
Yes. The Democrats have an idea that
there has been too much stealing about
Washington, and they are trying to stop it,
and "let no guilty man escape" OF course

We see no reason why Grants salary should
have been increased from $4,000 $4,000.
We do not see that Hartranft makes a bet
ter Governor because a Republican Leg
islature increased his salary from $1,000 to
$4,000.
We call the attention of the ''laboring
class" to the following facts, as to the num-
ber of employees

"Ihave employ ed the PERUVIAN SYRUP
successfully in cases of dyspepsia, chronic
darrhea, nervous debility, neuralgia, erys-
pelas, boils and diseases of the skin also,
chiorosis, leucorrhea, prolapsus uteri, and
in females complaints generally. As an al
teratye tonic, the syrup ought to be used by
clergymen, editors, cashiers, clerks, lawyers,
and others who use their brains more than
then muscles; as well as operatives, printers
tailors, shoemaker, seamstresses, and al
those whose occupation confines them in
ill-ventilated and over-heated rooms, who
are liable to suffer more or less from ner vous

There must have been some Blaine sem
timent in the Harrisburg Convention to
judge by the speech of Gen. W. H. Koontz,
the temporary chairman. 1t was genuine
"bloody shirt affair with touching illusions
to the 'Confederates" in Congress, the''reb-
ei yell' and similar original and highly
elaborate illustrations ofthe danger of Dem
ocratic success.
1t would have pleased Blaine nightly
but it didn't cause any great autter in the
crowd of hardened political sinners whom
he addressed.

A New York correspondent states that
Gen. Grant is very poor and that his paper
is not uncommon on Wall Street. We
have little faith in Grants poverty. Wait
until be gets out of Office and if there is any
of his paper ahoat, We fancy the holders
will find enough property to pay them. II
is incredible that man so fond Of money
and who has received so many valuable
gifts should have squandered his fortune
and reduced himself to poverty.

We insis. that Randall is right in knock
ing off the barnacles that clog our ship of
State. Sinecures should be abolished and
useless officers discharged If the employ
ees do not like the reduction of salaries
they can resign. A host of competent
men are willing to take their places. Go
on Mr.. Randall reduce extravagant sala-
ries, discharge useless employees, and the
"laboring class" who are benefited by it will
not be your "enemies."

strolliDg about in the foothills north Of
town, he found in a small gulley, where
il had been laid bare by the action of
the water, a petritisd human skull Of
very peculiar shape, the interior of
which was filed With crystals Of
beautiful green color. The peculiar
shape of this skull shows beyond n
doubt that its owner belonged to
prehistoric age, or at least race long
extinct. The space between the eyes
is at least three times rs great as IN
the average human head, and tho sx-
treme flatness OF the upper portion
(shere the organs Of generation are
supposed to exist causes it to more
closely resemble the Uranium of gi-
gantic ape, or q member of the Cal
ifornia Legislature than that of the
modern honbre. A portion of the
front part has been broken out 10y
contact with some hard substance, but
enough remains to stamp it undeniably
human skull. and one of the greatest
wonders ofthe age. 1t is now on ex-
hibition at the depot in this place,
where it can be seen at any time. The
discoverer, Mr.. Waite, thinks of send
ing it to the Smithsonian Institute bat
will leave it where it is for the present
in order to give everybody chance to
inspect il. w. II. s.
