Office OF sheriff we have. as candidates,

responsibility and not Of profit and fol-
the office of coroner, we have no candl
dates. Messrs. Saup and Robinson are
mingling quite freely among the soycr

the other wins the prize he shall work
tor it with great industry. Reeve and
Hartman are exceedingly clever, but il
view OF the hot weather and the months
that must intervene before voting

coats on. Mr.. w. +. Pitcher -
who, at stated intervals, can be beguilet
into a conversation on the subject of lit,

outstanding his energies for brlIlian
dash on the home stretch. And such is III
present status of our local canvass. Mr.

sheriff, may or may not be candidate
for reelection. He has not yet final,
indicated his purposes in the premises
and until he does there can be found al

lN a few days. at farthest, our con-
gresham, Hartzell, will be among his
constituents. He has performed his
whole duty as public servant, and de-
serves an unmistakable endorsement
at the polls in November. There
is but little doubt that such an en-
dorsement will be given; but we must
not, through the influence of such be-
lief, be lulled into inactivity. More than
three thousand voters Of the district failed
to vote, in 1872 and leading Republicans
claim that large majority OF these stay
Always belonged to the Republican party.
Upon this belief they build their hopes of
success this tall. We concede the cor
rectness of neither the premises nor the
conclusion, but we must, nevertheless, be
| on the alert. Thorough and compact
organization must be effected; our can
| dldates must visit every town and pre-
| cinct in the district, and through a gen
| erOus circulation of Democratic news
papers, the people must be informed OF
the shortcomings and excuses of the
party in power, and OF the wholesome
reforms the Democracy propose to i'll
auguratc. DO this, get every Democratic
voter to he polls, and Mr.. Hartzell will
be returned 10 his seat by majority OF
| two thousand votes.

tains an unusual variety of reading mat
ter. Book VII OF George Eliot's "Daniel

one of the strongest dramatic situations
that George Eliot has ever portrayed.
"A Woman-later.' of which the third
part is given in this number, is published
anonymously in Biactpood and Harper;

beautiful story, "rhe Laurel Bush" has
reached its fourth part: and Julian
Hawthorne's Garth" is still continued.
In addition to the four strong serial
stories already mentioned, there are in
this number five excellent short stories.
Ut. Trowbridge contributes another
of his characteristic domestic stories in
verse, "Tom comes home," beautifully il
lustrated by Sol. Eytinge. Poems are also

DURING The six years intervening the
years 1866 and 1872, the public debt was
reduced S525 ,0O0. 600: or an average OF
Ss7. 500, 600 year. Within the past tour
years 1t was reduced only $4,000. COO
being an annual average Of only $751;
100000. Thus it Will be seen that the
average annual reduction has been re-
duced $5o.OOo.OOo or more than one-half
This could be borne by our heavily taxed
people with some degree OF patience
were 1t not for the now palpable fact that
the increase In the public expenditures has
corresponded with the decrease In the
pay scents upon the public debt. These
are hcts from Official sources, and worthy
OF the most careful digestion.

DEAR SIR am one of the class now

SIR Having received of late several

down in the Democratic platform, and in
the letters of acceptance of Iildcn and
Hendricks, are in accordance with the
views which on many occasions | have
expressed and defended privately and
publicly. | should be faithless to my
self by not unfolding and defending
them now, in the hour of trial. and there
tore shall give my support in this election
to the presidential ticket adopted by the
Democratic convention.
In taking this step, desire, however
to add that | shall not rcnounce indepen
dent action in political matters relativ,
to our town, state and city, whenever
questions of national policy of paramount
Importance are not involved.
By publishing this card you will oblig,

THE MONEY MUDDLE.

The muddle about finance is fast be-
coming quite serious. The fractional cur
rency is rapidly disappearing and the sill
yer intended to take its place does not
make its appearance. Already currency
is at premium in Philadelphia, and if
something is not speedily done by Con-
gress we will see once again shinplasters,
postage stamps, and all sorts and kinds Of
tokens. This is matter about which it
were wise for business men, in every Con-
gressional district of the United States, to
write to their Representative, plain let
ter, telling him to fool no more:-or play
the role Of statesman, but to vote for any
measure that will ensure to the people
enough Change" to enable them to trans.
act their business, and to save them from
brokers and shinplasters.

OBsTRUCTING FOOTWAYs AND SIDE
WALKS
CONTEMPTIBLE LEGISLATION.

The hatred of the Californians for the
Chinaman is so very great as 10 cause
them to do very contemplate things. In
order that the superior race might have
undue advantage in order to enable it to
vanquish its interiors; a tax Of fifteen cents
was put on every twenty five cents charged
by the Chinese laundrymen and women.
The Supreme Court Of California has had
the honesty and firmness to decide, in
spite of great public clamor, that this piece
Of petty legislative persecution is uncon.
stitutional. The law was mean endeavol
to force an odious and most unjust dis
elimination against class of persons
who do certain kinds of work best and
cheapest in order to favor another cla>s
who cannot do it as we'll or cheaply. The
edict was one against fair play, and an
abandonment of the noble American motto
"a fair field and no favor" The object o
the law was to prevent "Mongolian' com
petition from driving white men and wo
men out of the business of washing clothes
which if it had been enforced would have
made washing about 60 per cent. dearer il
the Golden State than it naturally woulc
be. 1t was the most contemplate piece
of legislation ever passed by an American
legislature.

BOOK NOTICES.

The Sanitarian for May is on our table
The first article "May Good Digestion
Wait on Appetite" is more pedantic thar
learned. DR.. Fox, of London, discusses the
causes of Typhoid Fever, which appear tc
be local. Most epidemics can be traced tc
defective drainage and over crowded, badly
ventilated houses. The article on "a new
system of House Drainage" is valuable
"The Kentucky Shower of Flesh" is shown
to he fungus named Nostoi { N. cameum
Of the botanist), thus exploding the foolish
notion that flesh had been rained down
from the clouds.
