The Cincinnati Gazette, in the course of some
comments on the scene in the house on Monday,
says
1.-THE brilliant stroke, by which Mr.. Blaine took
the III after out of the hands OF the committee, and
then put it on the defensive, quite diverted aten.
ton from the main question, which IS with regard
to the ownership of the 49, 900 10 bonds of the
Little Rock and Fort Smith II ,ilway, which were
| unloaded on the Union Pacific Company. How
| far Mr.. Caldwell could exonerote MIR. Blain 10
| this, and how far he has done it, we shall know
| further along. Meanwhile, we have to admire the
| brilliant maneuvre Mr.. Blaine practised yesterday
and to see if he can dash through all in the same
| manner"
The "main question was disposed of long ago.
The charge arose out Of private conversation
| between Mr.. L. II. Rollins and Mr.. Harrison
of Indiana. There is to support it moth.
ing but the impression or suspicion of some gen
tlemen who are unable even to say how it came to
them. On the other side we have the sworn testi-
mony of Mr.. Blaine that it is not true; the sworn
testimony of Thomas Scott to the same effect,
with statement that he bought the bonds of
Caldwell; and the despatch of Caldwell declaring
that SCOTS testimony is true. The modern theory
| that is to be believed guilty until he is
proved innocent, does not satisfy the Gazette,
which would believe him guilty after he has
! proved his innocence.--Boston Daily 1dUertiser

EOL/TfydL.

A FREUD Who has just returned from Western
trip reports Mr. Blaine's popularity throughout
the West as immense. ave like his pluck and
we believe he is honest" is the Western idea.
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer is truly plain
dealer, when it says it is bound to stand by the
nomination of the St. Louis convention, whether
or no." 1t has the following flying at the head of
its columns:
For PRESIDENT,
THE NOMINEE OF THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.
That's our platform! Sink or swim, survive or
perish, we will stand by it! LET us have peace.
Mr.. Blaine is constantly receiving letters con-
tanning assurances that the proceedings OF Mon
day have produced a lively sympathy for him
among the people, and his friends arc full of en-
enlargement
The Lewiston journal says The latest inven-
ton against Blaine is the most amusing. 1t is
now charged by the democrats that Blaine has
only been acting part That his anxiety to OBJ
tain the letters from Mulligan only feigned;
that from the outset he planned the campaign
against the Boston witness, intending to have
matters reach their climax in personal explana-
ton and the reading of the letters in the House
This theory is democratic concession that there
is really nothing in the eighteen private letters
which ought to make their author blush, but the
idea that the whole matter was prearranged by
Blaine is ridiculous. The charge reminds us of
story about some young men who were out
catching, and after one breaking of the sea over
the deck one was seen busy leaning over the taf-
rail. As his companion came up and saw him,
he capped him on the back, exclamng "Why,
no, Bob you don't mean that you are in earnest :"
to which Bob responded, "Do you think | am
such fool as to do it in fun y
The New York Herald says: Mr.. Blaine has
constituted himself committee for the investi-
CATION of the Confederate House, and will soon
make a report.
The Waterville Mail, in speaking of Mr.. Blaine 5
triumph, says "since which. by general admission,
the victorious candidate of the republicans has
stood before the public with his foot upon the
necks of his sandefers."

From the howl made in some quarters.
it might be judged that it is an absolute
sin to be the owner Of bonds. TO have
bonds of any kind in ones possession is
enough to invite the most rigid and care
full investigation. We should like to
know how many ministers of the Gospel,
how many widows, and children, how
many honest and Woodworking farmers
and mechanics, would then come under
the ban And we should like to be told
what would have become of the country,
if in the darkest hour of the nations credit,
the men and women of the country had
given heed to democratic predictions of
disaster, and refused to invest their money
in government bonds? We suppose. as is
the theory of some people, that it is worse
for member of Congress to be the own
er of government bond, for then he is
directly interested in legislation that might
affect the value of his property

one of Mr.. Blane's letters, goes on and
garbles them, publishing extracts inter-
larded with Mr.. Pillsbury's high, toned, I'M

ment of its readers? Having asked that
question, we will answer it. Because af-
ter reading the letters, every honest DEM
ocrat would decide at once that Pillsbury
in his comments only suslains his well

STEERING UP THE MONKEYS.


Mr.. Blaine was denied his rights on the
floor of the House of Representatives, on
Friday. as was shown in our des-
patches of Saturday, by the snap Judg-
ment and decision of the presiding officer.
On the day previous, the Speaker pro tenn.
had given Mr.. Blaine the assurance that
by then passing the matter under consid-
Grafton over till Friday, Mr. B. should not
be deprived of his opportunity of calling
nd his motion TO reconsider. But on FIJI
day. when Mr.. Blaine was about to take
the floor, on his question, right which
had been faithfully promised him, and to
which he was Justly entitled, the acting
Speaker choked him off, thus placing him
self upon record as a liar. twas the only
way they could curb the bold and dashing
utterances of Mr. Blaine, and even before
this humliating situation OF presiding
officer wallowing about in falsehood was
fully carried out, Mr.. Blaine had oppor-
tunty to ''str up the monkeys slightly,
and this he fully improved. The fact is,
the democrats fear Mr.. Blaine. lie steps
into his place in the House. and all the
rebels quail before him; he lifts his arm,
and they topple over each other like
frightened children. Oh if they could
only get him down on his back. and then
every rebel in the House mount him and
bind him as did Lilliputs hosts the giant,
with multitudinous threads, how gladly
they would do it. But with single effort
he breaks the threads; a breath from his
nostrils sends the rats to their holes.
There has been some dancing in Congress
the present session, and Mr.. Blaine has
furnished the music.
But, seriously, the latest exhibition OF
unfairness of the presiding officer is mean
est and least dignified. During Mr..
Blaine's long service as presiding office
of the House, the universal verdict was,
that he treated every member, regardless
of politics or position, with the utmost
fairness and impartiality; but when a
democrat is placed in the chair. and the
late Speaker takes the floor, in return for
his fair dealing with the democrats, he is
submitted to the treatment received or
Friday. But, on the whole. we are rathe
pleased at the turn of affairs, because i
gave the ex-Speaker another opportunity
to stir up the monkeys.

The Standard has backed out entirely of
the controversy concerning the city tinan-
ces. 1t was badly beaten, but didn't have
the manliness to say so. 1t simply remains
silent If it can be awakened from its
morose sleep, we should like to ask how
a debt of SGS.000 can be paid with 364,-
900? 1t needn't answer suddenly, but
may take time to pcnder.

Which shall 1 take.

This is often a serious question with the invalid.
lie finds the market flooded with proprietary med
cines, scores Of which are recommended as GER
tain cures for his peculiar ailment. He reads the
papers, circulars and amanacs, and finds each sus-
tanned by plausible arguments setting forth its
virtues and specific action. The recommendations
are as strong for one as for another. The cures
claimed to have been wrought by one are as Won
derful as those claimed to have been wrought by
another In his perplexity and doubt the suffer-
er is sometimes led to reject all. But II should be
borne in mind that this condition of things is one
that cannot be remeded. In a land where all are
free, the good-the truly valuable-must come in
to competition with the vile and worthless, and
must be brought to public notice by the same in
strumentaty, which is advertising. In such a
case perhaps the only absolute proof that a rene
dy is what 1t claims to be, is to try it. The test
OF pudding is the eating of it." "Prove all
things hold fast that which is good" is the apos-
tolic injunction. There may, however, be strong
er presumptlve evidence in favor of one remedy
than there is in favor of another, and this should
be allowed its due weight. A due regard 10 this
useless outlay of money. As presumptive evil
dence in favor of DIR. Pierces Family Medicines,
the Proprietor desires to say that they are prepar-
ed by new and scientific process by which the
virtues of the crude plants and roots are extracted
without the use of a particle of alcohol. Not a
particle of this destroyer of our race enters into
the composition of either his Golden Medical Dis
covery Favorite Prescription. This considera-
ton alone ought certainly 10 rank them hlgh
above the vile compounds saturated with alcohol,
Jamaica rum, sour beer, vinegar, which ev-
erywhere offered for sale Again, they are of uni
form strength, and their virtues can never be i'm
paired by age. They are also made from fresh
herbs and roots, gathered in their appropriate
son, when they are flush with medicinal proper
tics. In support of these claims, the following
testimony is offered;
