AN ELEMENT NOT OWNED BY THE
NEGRO PARTY.

It is settled fact that the organized
labor element of the country will vote
in November for Samuel j. Tilden for
President. BY the organized element is
meant the labor unions. To explain this
prospective action OF very important
portion of the strength of the nation, it
unions Of New York sent accredited
nomination of Mr.. Tilden. What is the
significance of the action? 1t means
that the course adopted by the skilled
labor of the empire state will be fol-
lowed through the country in so far as
it involves the support of the Democrat
ic ticket. There is among the trade-un-
ions a species of free masonry which
makes their interests identical in char
acter, no matter how remote may be the
different branches from each other. The
eastern portion of the country has been
foremost in labor organizations. Itwas
there that over thirty years since. ten
hours OF labor was made the standard
time and this only after severe contest
with the capitalists. 1t was a grand
victory for labor, and it was in the di-
rection OF revolution which cannot go
backwards. II
Efforts have been made to still fur
ther reduce the hours of labor, and have
partially succeeded. This is referred to
nere, bcC.uso- /. tho "5rouufuu- wfzfUfr
preceded the reforms OF labor abuses,
the east has taken 4 prominent part.
From there, from the city Of Boston
| and New York, came the discipline OF
the trade-unions, borrowed in part from
similar organizations in the old world.
They comprise powerful constituency
viewed IN a political sense, and they are
distinguished by an intelligence which
repels the advance of radical dema
gogues. When the trades-unions o
New York support Samuel j. Tilder
for the presidency, they do so because
he is known as the friend Of the work
ingman. He has proved 1t in the les
sened taxation which has followed in hi!
own state as the result of his officia
term, and he has essentially proved it il
his veto of the convict labor bill. In thi'
latter action he defied the monopolists
and he has the satisfaction OF knowing
that his work is appreciated. Samue
J. Tilden is stronger in the support o
the labor element, than if the powe
OF great monoplists and an army OF OF
!. fice-holders supported him. All the is
sues of the present campaign may b
narrowed down to this-it is q struggl
between the laboring and commercis
classes, and the great monopolists an
otfice-holders Of the rotten coalition

TILDEN AS AREFORMER,

When Sam Tildel talks of admins
trative reform he means practical bust
ness. For example, when he sent his
first special message to the legislature,
showing how the safe has been swim
died by u combination of canal officials
and canal contractors, Jarvis Lord, the
leader of the canal ing, declared in the
senate that there was nothing new in
these charges, tina: they had been often
made before. and 50 on. But Til,ien set
forth the figures, got 4 commission to
take testimony, and the governor went
tor the plunderers, broke up their COM
bination, saved millions to the state,
and is now pursuing the corruptionists
to the penitentiary.
That is Sam Tilden's style of admin
istrative reform. There is nothing fam
ciful or glittering about it; not 4 bit of
SchurZ or Curtis. TiIden first gets nj
the figures and then goes for the rogues,
and he everywhere puts honest men in
power and establishes an honest system
and that is precisely the kind of reform
er the people want in the white house
N. Y. Sun.

A SIMPLE DIsINFEOTANT.

One pound of green copperas, costing
Z cents, poured down water closet,
will eifectually concentrate and destroy
the foulest smell, says an exchange. On
board ships and steamboats,, about hotels
and other public places, there is nothing
so efficaclous to purity the air. Simple
green copperas dissolved in anything
will render Il hospital or other places
for the sick free from unpleasant smells.
In market. slaughter houses. sinks and
wherever there are offensive cases, dis
solve copperas and sprinkle it about, and
in few days the smell will all pass
away If Il cat, rat or mouse dies about
the house and sends forth offensive gas,
place some dissolved copperas in an
open vessel near the nuisance and it will
purify the atmosphere.

THE LEGAL AGE TO MARRY.

Aninteresting report has recently been
presented to the British House of Com
mons showing the earliest age at which
marriages can be legally solemnized in
each Of the states Of the Continent Of
Europe. In Austria the age of discre-
ton, both for males and females, is
fourteen. In Hungary males cannot
contract their marriage until they have
completed their fourteenth year, nor fe-
males until they are twelve. In Russia
eig seen years for males and sixteen tor
females are the periods of lite at which
marriage may be legally contracted. In
Turkey there is no general law on the
subject. The Italian law fixes eighteen
years Tor males and fifteen for females.
Prussia sanctions marriage in the case
of males on the completion of their
eighteenth year and the fourteenth in the
case of the females. The law in France
states the earliestage at which marriages
can be contracted to be eighteen years
| in the case of males and fifteen in the
case of females, but powers of dispen-
sation are reserved by the code. The
Belgian code is the same as the French.
The law in Denmark fixes the age at
| twenty for the man and sixteen for the
girl. In Greece males cannot marry be-
fore fourteen years of age nor females
before twelve. In Hesse Darmstadt and
Baden the consent of parents is neces-
sary in the case of men until they have
completed their twenty-fifth year; in
that of woman until they are twenty
one. The completion of eighteen years
by males and sixteen by females is nee
essary in the Netherlands, and in Sake
Coburg Gotha no male is permitted to
marry before he has attained his twenty
first year. In Saxony the legal age for
males is eighteen; for females sixteen
years. According to the amended para
graph of the new German Civil Marriage
bill the ages would be respectively
twenty and sixteen years, instead OF
eighteen and fourteen as in the draft of
bill. In some of the cantons of Swift
zerland, the law as to the ages of the
contracting parties is as high as twenty
years for males and seventeen for fe-
males, and in others as low as fourteen
for males and twelve for females.

Advices from Washington say that so
against further pardons to whisky criIni-
nails that all applications for pardon will
for the present be suspended. This is
the result of Il cabinet meeting, it is said,
in which three members, Cameron,
Robson and Tyner voted for pardons
and four against. Cameron voted against
pardons, not because they ought not to
be granted. but because if they were
granted it would injure Republican pros
poets in the election, and we suppose
the same idea controlled those who voted
with him.

This Sarsaparillais combination of

the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are SO skilfully COM

as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so etfectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-

of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
