Manufacturing so far as it has been en-
gagged in here has been triumphant sue
Cess. We have several concerns engaged
in manufacturing whose accumula-
tons OF wealth ought to be argu-
ments potent enough to induce capitalists
to engage in various branches of manu-
factory. The field is large and the door
wide open for grand achievements in that
direction. With one OF the best railroad
centres in the state, surrounded by an ag-
ricultural country second to none in the
West, with living and rents cheaper than
can be found any where else in the whole
broad Union, we ought, and can, manu-
facture cheaper than any where else. Our
people have been slow to realize our ad-
vantages, but they began to cast off their
Rip Van Wrinkle slumbers year or more
ago and the awakening shows itself in our
increased activities and buildings. With
three excellent Water powers, healthy
climate, and Industrious and frugal p0pu-
lation, who know but little of the vanities
and extravagant Injuries of the East, we
can more than compete with the East in
manufacturing the staples and aecessariss
of life and drive them out OF the market.

A Health-PrOmOti Stimulant

Physicians, who certainly ought to be
the best judges of such matters, declare
that wholesale stimulation is not only de-
sirable bat essential in many instances
When the temporary good effect of sound
Stmulant is confirmed and rendered per
manent, as in the case of Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters, by the action Of tonic and al
tentative principles combined with it, it be-
comes infinitely more efficacious as r emo
vent of physical energy and a corrective OF
those conditions of the body which invite
disease. The btters have received the en-
phatc sanction of medical men who have
observed the effect of that popular stimula
tive CO dial as a remedy for weakness, ner-
vousness, dyspepsia, constipation, iDactlvi-
ty of the liver, malarious feyers and many
other disorders. It, basis is SOUND Old rye.
the pureSt liquor known to commerce, and

Redeemfng Itself.

ms place was doubtless named Wa
tertown, because of the splendid water
privileges which Rock river afforded in
early times. But of late years the old river
has degenerated, and the mill owners have
had to place sentlnels along its. banks to
prevent their valuable motive power from
being carried off in pals. This year, however
is an exception, the heavy rains which we
have had tbs summer, having aroused tse
stresm 10 some of its former grandeur.
There has scarcely been day since the
break up last spring that the water has lot
flown over The dan1-something almost I'm
precedented this time Of the year. All the
mills and shops on the river have steam
engines, but they have done little but rust
so tar this season.

In Washington the weather is oppressively

The First TiIden Fizz.s.

The attempt to form Tilden aud Hen
bricks club in this city last Sa turday even
ing, was az ignominious failure. The pos
tiers calling for action among the fearless
democracy in this hour of the par tvs trial,
brought together moth ing but warning ee-
ments and lamentably tactious spirit was
shown by those who promise to allay All
differences in the management of our ma
tional affairs, and Tho favor fraternal feel
ing peace and good will to all men who
will pin their faith to the mammoth re-
former, Tilden, and the pure and consisten
statesmen, Hendricks. Some way we had
the notion that everything was not alto
gether lovely with our democratic brethren
since the St. Louis convention, land here
we have the proof That there was some
foundation for our surmises. The fact is
the rank and file of the party are disguised
with the straddling position on the 6nan-
cisl question, and the unblushingly free use
of Tilden's "barrel of money" among the
del ega,es at ST. Louis. Some of the demo-
cratic leaders here expressed themselves
strongly in favor OF the nomn ton of Judg e
Davis, believing he could retain to the ar
ty the Greeley republicans, but fancy their
s'feelinks' when it was discovered that he
did not get single vote, and the Greeley
ties snubbed and left to SHIFT for
themselves AS a natural result, nine
:enths of the Liberals are now doing service
for Hayes and Wheeler. A truce of a few
days, however, has been arranged amoag
the contending democratic elements, and at
the end of that time desperate effort
will be made to patch up things in the house
divided against itself, to the end that some
sort of descent show may be made in this
naturally democratic stronghold for the
Sham ReformD Democratic Confederate ticket.
But tbs already apparent that the Confeder-
ate leaders have lost their opportunity and
they will encounter very uphill work in
firing the hearts of the democratic masses
during the present Presidential campaign.

g The popu lar notion that people suffering
from dyspepsia or predisposed to that dis
ease, should not eat biscuits, has grown out
OF the fact that the common saleratus has

But light and healthy biscuit, such as dys.

Aliens New York Spectacular and Bur-
lesque Company under the management Of
Mr.. William l.. Allen, gives an entertain
ment at Turner Hall, Thursday evening
July 10th. This company comprises a
grand array of talent, and present what is
undertaken with great magnifcence, the
costumes and properties being from the
famous firm of Worth & Company, of Paris.
We take the following notice of the troupe
from the Cincinnati Enquirer, of April
22d, 1876:
This com bination of beautiful, blonde,
burlesque artists and talented variety actors
will hold the boards at the Opera House on
next Tuesday evening. This is the best
vaudeville company travelling, and the bal
let dancing of the beautiful ooryphees is
truly wonderful. The Pittsburgh Post
says: ''Allen's New York Spectacular
Combination closed their engagements at
the Opera House last evening, to one of the
largest audiences Of the season. 1t is no
wonder that this well known New York
City troupe attracted such large crowds
during their weeks engagement in this city,
as their programme embraced the best tai
ent and most varied sketches that could be
produced. The st. Felix Ballet and Spec.
tally Troupe have always been warmly ap-
preciated by our show-going citizens every
time they appear in our city; also Messrs.
Chace, Davis, Hight and Allen, and four
talented end men and comedians. The bal
let and other attractive artists with Manager
Aliens company have also been well re-
ceived."

Pierce said he had provided for the amuse-

invited company of negro Ministries, i'm

pleasantly. Mr.. Pierce is in correspondence
with Edwin Booth, 10. Jefferson and Anna

The three or four days preceding Monday
last, were oppressively hot, the thermome-
ter ranging in the nineties. A shower
Sunday evening had cooling etfe ct on the
weather, and on Monday the heat was quite
hearable, bat as we write Tuesday it
would seem as if another heated term had
commenced its mission. Under the in.
huence of the extreme hot weather, corn
which has been back ward all the season,
has come along rapidly and there is now a
fair prospect of good crop in the country
hereabouts. Complaints are made that
wheat will not turn out as we'll as expected,
the great amount OF wet weather having
had tendency to rust it, and in many
fields grubs are working badly. But pot
withstanding these reports, We look for
more than an average yield in this section.
The hay crop is excellent, but considerable
trouble las been encountered to save il,
owing to the continuous wet weather.

THE TICKET.

The action of the Cincinnati Convention yes
terday was something of a surprise, but it will
command the approval of large majority OF
Republicans, and the ticket will have the cor
dial support of the whole party. Gov. Hayes
is a man of whom it is impossible to say a
word of evil. Personally he is not only above
reproach, but above suspicion. There are no
dark corners in his history which need inves
tigation or have ever set the tongue of scan
dal wagging. He has been distinguished
soldier, an incorruptible Congressman, an able
and popular Governor. Outside of Ohio he has
been almost unknown until very recently; but the
high regard in which nc is held by his own
people Is the best testimony to his private
character. THE TRIBUNE certainly, which sup
ported him so strenuously when he was fight
ing his gallant fight for hard money against
the Allen and Cary madmen last year, can
find no fault with his nomination now. The
Liberals and Independent Reformers who lent
all their strength to his canvass in 1875 will
sustain him in the trials of broader but
easier field. The reform element of the party
will feel that its just demands have been con-
suited in his nomination; and those who be-
lieve in good money will see in his name a
better pledge for speedy resumption than any
resolutions of Convention could give, and an
ample compensation for the vagueness Of the
platform.
Mr. Wheeler, like Gov. Hayes, is sound
Republican from conviction and not from the
love Of Office Like Gov. Hayes, also, he is q
thoroughly and conspcuously honest man, to
whom investigation can bring no embarrass-
ment, but only brighter credit. While he is in
full accord with his party, he is remembered
with honor by the Independents for his admi-
rable conduct in the Louisiana investigation
and the dignifed and temperate report in
which be rebuked the errors of the Admins
tration in dealing with that unfortunate State
His name is the very strongest that could have
been chosen for effect upon New-YOrk.
The combination indeed is one OF the most
formidable that have been suggested on either
slde and although 1t cannot be said that the
course 10 entirely clear while the Democracy
