Hayes and pil6on.

Tho Democrats have discovered
that General Hayes is an "obscure'
man. In point of obscurity, however,
he compares favorable with Mr..
Tilden. General Hayes has served
in Congress, and won the cordial re-
speot of all who knew him there.
Mr. Tldcn has never been in the
National Legislature or had the
slightest practical acquaintance
with the business of the Ma
tional Government. General Hayes
has been three times elected
Governor of the great State OF
Ohio, and has during his entire SER
vice compelled the admiration even
of his opponents, who could not lay
their fingers on q dishonest or weak
act in his official conduct.
Governor Tilden has been once
elected Governor of New York, and
was recently pronounced humbug
by large majority of his own party
friends Previous to his election to
the post, Mr.. Tilden was conspicuous
solely as the fgure-head of the Tam
many party, of which Tweed was the
actual manager. While he was scrv-
ing in the capacity, General Hayes
was figuring faithfully, bravely and
with distinguished success in the
Union Army.
The character of the two men
correspond to respective careers
Mr.. Tildon is called Familiarity by his
political intimates, "Slippory Sam,
and though the cpithet is an endear-
ing one to the average Democratic
politician, it is not attractiy to hon-
orable men, nor is the character
which has won IT, General Hayes,
on the other hand, is clear-headed,
sensible, straightforward man, whose
word is as good as his bond, and who
never was accused Of doublc-dcaling
or was guilty of false pretenses.

Stop Your Cough !

The wonderful results and immense sale of
IIalc's Cough Cordial the past season, ought to
convince the most skeptical; still we are 60
ing to continue the same liberal offer that we
have heretofore, viz. Any person suffering
with cold, cough or sore throat, who will
call at W. b. Bakers Drug Store and pur-
chase bottle of Hale's Cough Cordial, use
one>half of it, and if they then conclude that
it is doing them no good, they can return the
balance and receive back their money. Who
would not test this medicine on such liberal
terms? No medicine ever sold in this vicinity
that produced such wonderful results. ALI we
ask is that YOU will try it. 40m6

CATHOLIC ToTAL ABSTINENCE
AssocIATIoN.-On Tuesday evening
of the last week Rey. George L.
Willard, of Fond du Lac, President
of the G. T. A. A. Of Wisconsin, adj
dressed a large audience at St.
Joscph's Church upon the subject of
Temperance. Father Willard is an
eloquent speaker, and an earnest tom
peronoe worker, and we are glad to
know that his visit here was pro-
ductive of much good.
At the close of the lecture twenty
three of his hearers stepped forward
and took tho total abstinence pledge,
and this number with about twenty
pledged some time since by Father
O'Malley, formed the nucleus for the
Berlin Catholic Total Abstinence
Association. On Sunday morning
last Rev. Father Scott, of St Joseph's
parish, delivered an eloquent dis
course, which is spoken of as equal,
if not better, than that of Father
Wizards on Tuesday evening. At
its close he administered the pledge
to eighteen more OF his Pensioners,
after which the organization of the
Association was projected by the
election of the following officers:
ProsidoAt-Fathcr r. J. Scctt.
Vice observation-disclosures G'Gonnors
Sergent-at-Arms-Patr Burns.
Troasurer-Michael FitzmorTis.
Secretary-Patrick R0ddy.
Observation-Disclosures Davln.
The Association now has mem
bership OF sixty good and true men,
who will exert an influence for good
hitherto unfelt in this community.
We are glad that Father Willard
came here, and are doubly glad that
the Association has been formed;
that it will increase i'll membership
and do noble work for the temper
ance cause, there eau be no doubt, Us
each seems deeply in carncrt in the
matter. May the highest antlcipa-
tions of its founders be more than
realized. - Berlin C0udnt.

THE conviction OF Lee, the Mormon
monster who perpetrated the murder of
women and children and of unarmed
men under flag of truce at Mountain
Meadows nineteen years ago, is but one
more step in the Utah mystery. 1t is
quite commonly supposed that Lee was
purposely "given away" by the Mormon
leaders as a scape-goat tor the sins
of more important personages in connec-
tion with that ruthless massacre, under
the supposition that with his conviction
prosecutions would cease. Since his
conviction, however, Lee has been CIV
ing out that he will reveal more than has
yet been told about that bloody busi-
ness, If he is not relieved from the
penalty OF his crime. How much of this
may be merely bunkum can not be told
But it Will strike people as very strange
that only one man can be found as con-
nected with that slaughter. Referring
the matter to Indians under the lead OF
Lee is too thin disguise for any COM
mon sense. 1t seems now that, though
DO long concealed, this murder will out
at last.
