Benson's Capciue 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
Capclne 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
the use of the ordinary porous plaster, how
ever, maintain that heir action is not suffici-
emily prompt, requiring time. patience and
continuous wear to effect a cure. Benson's
Caprine Plaster overcOmes this difficulty bs
accomplishing in O few hours, that which it
takes any other Plaster as many days
Although a recent discovery -Capcine
has been thoroughly tested by physicians,
and In each instance has been pronounced
the most remarkable, safe, certain and thoro-
ughly efIicatiOns remedy ever discovered.
Incorporating Capcine 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 q
Porous Plaster has been used.
Its marvellous influence over the circula-
ton, and general effect on the system Is al
IN st Incredible; from the moment OF It's ap-
plication 10 the affected part, it operates with
astonishing vigor-brings reliet and cure
more efectually than any known Plaster
Liniment or Compound.
1t is genuine pharmaceutical prepara-
ton OF the highest order of merit; its ingre-
dients are entirely vegetable anu Tree from
Mineral or Metal POisons. One trial will
convince the most skeptical OF its superiority
over the ordinary Porous Plasters. When
you desire prompt and immediate relief, ask
your Druggist for Benson's Capcine Plaster.

Farm Mortgages.

Almost everyone who has had &C.
casion to buy farm and to have lie a
potion of the purchase money on
mortgage, must have felt the injustice
of being taxed for what he does not
really evn. A man buys farm for
say $4,000, and $4,000 remains, he
pays taxes to the full value Of the
$4,000, besides paying $500 in this
state or $3.50 in the west for the use of
the $4,000 remaining unpaid on the
land. But the government not only
makes him pay tax on the whole
$18,0e0, supposing the farm to be as.
sessed at the full value, but it comes
the second time and taxes the holder
of the $5, 700 he has out at interest. "
Now the man who has money at inter
est is determined to make six per
cent. at least. on his money. He
must do it to make it worth his while
to have money out at all. And SO he
looks about to see how he can so fix
things as to make it fall ON the holder
of the land, So he either takes it into
consideration in fixing the price of TIE
land, if he is selling, or if he is mere
lender on land he extracts a heavy
"bonus" or buys mortgage at dis
count in order to make him whole;
and in this way the one who is so un-
fortunate as to owe anything ON land,
pays taxes twice on his indebted por-
ton to one only when it is clear Of all
membranes. This is a curious an.
omaly in law, Ususally it is thought
to be the genius of good laws to favor
the honest, industrious, struggling
debtor; but in this particular case of a
tax on mortgages this law is made tc
operate in just the other way.
1t seems remarkable that any tax
should have ever been imposed or
mortgages under the head of property
If there be any tax on income, the
money derived from mortgages might
have there a legitimate place. But as
property tits clearly absurd ,as a mort
gage is simply the evidence Of debt. Il
is no more property then is duly at
tested receipt for mo ley paid. 1t II
indeed nothing but promise to give
property in case certain stipulations
are not carried out in manner and form
as aforesid. 1t is in no sense property,
yet as property it is taxed, although
the property which it covers is already
taxed in the hands of the one to whom
it has been decided.
IL came,up before the supreme cour
of California recently, by the objec
ltion of some mortgage holders to pay
this sort of property" tax. and th'
court decided in favor of the holders
And now what do other states say il
which this anomaly exists? Ger man

GENERAL CUSTER, who was before
the Clymer committee Tuesday, ex-
planned satisfactorily why army OFF,
GERS like himself who knew Belknap's
corruption did not expose him. He
called attention to an order of the War
Department dated March 10, 1878,
which; If not especially designated to
shut the mouths of all officers with re
gard to the thrifty Secretary's huck-
stering of sutlerships and other crook
ed operations, was certainly well
adapted to that purpose. This order
prohibited officers from suggesting or
recommending action of any kind to
members of Congress, and required
that all petitions to Congress by off,
GERS should be forwarded through the
Secretary of War. Itfurther required
every officer visiting Washington du.
ring session of Congress to register
his name at the Adjutant Generals
office upon his arrival, and address to
the Adjutant General letter stating
fully the purpose and proposed length
Of his visit, adding the significant in
junction that he should attend strictly
and solely to the business thus report
ed. No order could have been more
cunningly framed to prevent. .hsnora,
BILE and high minded officers who
would not willingly wink at bribery
and fraud, even on the part of their
superiors, from reporting to members
of Congress any of the rascalities of a
corrupt administration. General Gus.
ter bluntly testified that if officers had
petitisned Congress for redress of the
post leadership abuses their petition
would have been pigeon-holed, and
probably the officers would have been
pigeon holed too. 1t required courage
to speak thus plainly, even with Belk-
nap in disgrace, for Grant, who has
sustainedj his dishonest Secretary all
these years, is still Commander in
Chief of the army. But Custer is a
brave man,-Ehsla, Times.

The Smallest Feet In Washington

(Miss Grundy in Washington Okronicle)
The Championship for the honor of
possessing the smallest foot in Washing
ton is still being contested. 1t is said
that Mrs. Mullett, the wife of the late
Supervising Architect of the Treasury
Department, No. IL misses size. Mrs.
Grant has n very small foot; and wears,
it is rumored, No. l. A boot maker in
Brussels has written to customer in
Washington, requesting her permission
to make some shoes on her last for eIhi-
tion at the Centennial. He says that he
prefers this request not only because she
has the smallest foot of any of his custo-
mers, but also that he had never seen
another foot so perfectly proportioned.
He proposes to make four pairs of shoes
representing the four seasons, for. the
Cent ennial. One will be pair for even
ing wear, and will be trimmed with Val
encennes lace. As these shoes will fit no
one else but the lady whose last is to be
used, the artist in boots hopes that his
customer in Washington will retain
them after they are exhibited at Phila-
dalp hia

The Old Outrage Mill.

In short speech on the Mississippi
investigation resolution Senator Bay
ard refers to the expenditure of large
sums Of money by the Department of
Justice in the manufacture of KuKlux
reports from the South. Senator Bay
ard does not give particulars, but he
evidently knows whereof he speaks
The facts upon this subject, when they
appear in full, will probably astonish
the country-unless indeed, the coun'
try has lost the power Of being aston
ished, its sensibilities in that direction
having been deadened by the recent
discoveries of fraud in high places and
on every side. A committee Of the
House are getting testimony about the
working and cost of the outrage mill
which was so long run at the South by
Administration agents. Confessions
thus far made by persons engaged in
the business reveal state of corrupt
ion IN the Department of Justice as
shameless as that found anywhere else.
One man, Colonel Whitley, formerly
chief of the Secret Service detectives,
had the ending of about $3.50, 900 in
two States alone, his occupation being
to "work up" KuKlux cases. He was
assisted by a corps Of detectives distri-
buted at various psiDts, whose sole
work was to furnish information, to be
telegraphed to the North. of KuKlux
atrocities in their sections. Other sets
of spies and romancers were sent from
Washington for the same purpose; and
besides these, the United states mar
! shals of all the Southern States re-
| ceived large sums for hunting up and
reporting items that would tend to
show an insubordinate or rebebellious
spirit at the South. Being lavishly
paid for this work, the detectives did
their best to crafty the Administration
and filled the Radical organs with
blood curdling tales of KuKlux doings.
These came most thickly about election
time, or when amnesty bills or mea-
sures of military interference at the
South were under discussion in Con-
gress. Their effect was undoubtedly
great upon credulous people, and was
worth all the money paid for 1t as an
electioneering trick, and also q means
of justifying the dominant party in its
course towards the South. At the time
these horrible stories were SO abun
dant, we denounced them as mostly
inventions; for it was impossible tt
get corroborating proof of them. They
were news" to the agents of the AS
sociated Press scattered all over the
South. Private correspondents at thu
places where the KuKlux outrage
were said to have occurred never hearG
