Messrs Editor

Our Legislature
now and at last seems to have gone to
work earnestly but rather late in the
day to do much good, certainly not
as far as the financial condition is con.
cerned; what ! predicted in my last is
inevitable unless the only and true
remedy Ii applied, increased taxation
and that, i. seems to me 10 not even
thought Of. 1t seems to me conven.
ton for that purpose with the Delegates
right from the people and elected on the
sole issue, increase of taxation or not,
would settle it, and the sooner settled
one way or the other, the better. Our
city politics are still very much muddled
and as vet it is not easy to foretell the
the result OF our spring election. For
although our city Conservative Com
lnittee is composed partly of gentle-
men in our last campaign opposed to
the regular ticket, the opposition or
Independents will bring out separate
ticket, encouraged by disaffection in
the ranks OF our adopted conservative
citizens it the primary elections are
persisted in and also the petty prose~
cutions OF the restaurant and saloon
keepers on sccoynt OF selling liquor TO
minors f..les8 two elements WELD
considerable influence in electionsand
can at any time control some 1870
votes.
l hope, however, our city committee
will not roughly treat the reasonable
wishes of our adopted German citizens,
but will try to propose and submit
compromise that will pretty much meet
the views of all parties. | should be
sorry 10 see, particularly this class es.
stranged from our party, as they are
among the best and most substantial of
our citizens, and in our dark days
staunch and true friends to our conserv-
alive party. They have never been
after the political loaves and fishes but
have as a general thing been satisfied to
have representation i'll our city council
and vote as good conservatives. l be-
lieve the sum total paid out of the city
treasury to employees, German by birth
would be covered by $1,000, and yet
they pay one-fifth of the total revenue
OF the city. This does not look like as
if they were for Office. However, all
this is talk and rumor, and of course
our Independents make the worst of it;
AL depends on our city committee, and
everything will go off well.
Who will be the candidate for
the next Governorship is among the
questions asked. Some say Gen. Fitz.
Lee, others say Major Daniel from
Lynchburg. l hope, however, the VAL
Icy, too, will have word to say. Spring
is breaking and l hope it may bring us
new lifs and hope. l..

Oil Capsules, stating that sometimes they cured
miracuI1usy. but that patient of his had taken
them without effect On being informed that several
limitations were sold, he inquired and found his pa
tient had not been taking Dundas Dick & Co.'S.
What happened to This physician may have happen
ed to others, and Dundas Dick Co, take sthis me-
thod of protecting physicians, druggists and them
selves, and preventing Oil of Sandalwood from COM
ing into disrepute.
Physicians who once prescribe the Capsules vii
continue to do for they contain the pure Oil in the
best and cheapest form.
Dundas Dick & Co. use more Oil Of Sandalwood
than all the wholesale and Retail Druggists and
Perfu1ners in the United States combined, and this
is the sole reason why the pure Oil is seld cheaper
in their Capsules than in any other form.
Oil of Sandalwood is fast superseding every other
remedy sixty Capsules only being required to insire
a safe ana certain cure in six eight days. From
no other medicine can this result be had,
Dundas Dick Cor soft Capsules solve the pro-
blem long considered by eminent ply sicians of how

some very interesting tablsaux and dia-

were delivered by Messrs. Smith, Milton

county and James Saum Of Lebanon Ohio,
after which the teacher distributed some
keepsakes among his scholars. The clos.
