Why will you suffer violent pain, or be made
uncomfortable distressed in mind or body, when
you can be instantly relieved and quickly cured
by Benson's Capcne Porous Plasters. The or
dinary Porous Plaster is an article OF merit,
yet its action is too slow, requiring days and
weeks of continuous wear to effect a cure Ben
sons Capcne Porous Plaster, being great i'm.
provement over them, relieves you instantly
and cures you quicker than any known plaster,
liniment or compound.
Their action is more powerful than electricity
and more certain. They are purely vegetable
contain no mineral or metallic peisons. Their
composition and properties are founded upon
true medical skill, and are in no sense a patent

The Luzerne Union remarks disparagingly
on the recent vote in Rhode Island not to ex-
tend the right of suffrage to foreign born citi-
zens who had fought in the Union cause and
been honoraby discharged, whereupon the
Plymouth Inder holds forth as follows:
In the above article the Luzeyne Union inti-
mates that no foreigner can become voter in
Rhode Island, while if the editor Of that paper
knows anything about the subject, he knows
that the naturalization law is United States
law, and that any foreign born citizen, can be-
suing the course laid down by that law, wheth-
er it is through Ignorance or pure devilishness
that certain democratic papers throughout this
land try to propagate wrong ideas we are ur-
able to say.
1t may be news to the Inder but it is never
theless fact, that the United States have no
voters. The States decide as to the quaitica-
tions of voters within their respective limits
and no United States laws can reverse their de-
cisons. For instance, in this same state of
Rhode Island there is a property qualification
in the laws of the state and naturalzed for
eigner has no more right to vote without pos
sessing the required amount of property, than
a native born citizen. Whether this opinion
Of theInder is based on Ignorance or pur
devilishness we cannot say"

Beckley thinks that the great Democratic
gain in Beaver township is accounted for by
the fact that no ballots were numbered there.
This simply means that the election officers OF
that township stuffed the ballot boxes with
Democratic votes. What think you OF that
gentlemen of Beaver? A nice charge to make
against reputable citizens, and one of which the
decent Republicans of that township and OF the
county will hardly be proud. The fact OF the
matter is that Beckley was so badly scared at
the first election news, and showed it so plain
ly,that he feels it ircumbert upon him now to do
something TO show that he has recovered his
courage. Who's aiearedY
