The Democrats are claiming that Filz-
hugh is insane, and all because he purposes
to publish certain documents which show
Democratic representatives in an unfavorable
light. When Democrat begins to tell the
truth about his party associates he is looked
upon by them as lunatic. The idea of tell
ing the truth when one is not obliged to is by
them regarded as highly unreasonable one,
and sure indication of alteration of mind.

The other day we met a 'reformer" which
has come to mean a political growler. He
was very pathetic over the shortcomings of
the Republican party, and very positive in
his demands for new leaders. Imagine our
surprise when we learned that he had held a
sinecure revenue Office for twelve years
through the influence Of a high treasury Of
ficial who "held over" from the Buchanan
administration, and only discovered that par
ty managers were corrupt when they abol-
lshed his office and sent him out into the
world to earn his bread and butter. Having
cared for him twelve years the fellow had
come TO the conclusion that the party was
instituted for that sole purpose. Hence his
denunciation and pathos.

Mr.. MoREY of Louisiana was the most as
tonshed man in the country Wednesday. He
rose to make report from the committee on
public lands, but yielded the floor 10 the
chairman of the committee on elections, who
at once reported that Mr.. Morey was not a
member of the House and that his seat be-
longed to another man.

ALEXANDER DELMAR, the man who did so
much Democratic figuring in 1872, has been
hired by the Democracy to work up into pre-
sentable shape the facts, inferences, and fan
cies which have been brought out before the
investigating committees. His labors will
take the shape of campaign documents. Sift-
ing truth from that huge mass of lies will be
like hunting for Gratiano's grain of wit in
the haf.mountain of his folly, and the re-
suit will be as yaueess.

Mr.. Charles NJ. Ducasse died a. his resi-
dence in the I'd ward, Wednesday, June
l4th, 1876. aged 81 years. Mr.. Ducasse
came to the vicinity of Watertown about
80 years ago, settling on farm in the
town of Emmett, Dodge county. After a
residence of some years on his farm, he re-
moved to the city, and for number of
years past has held the office OF Justice of the
Peace for the LIST, I'd and 7th wards, giving
very general satisfaction in the discharge
of his duties. He was gentleman possess
ed of extreme urbanity an poiiteness, and
no man could be more missed in the circle
in which he moved. His death is deeply
regre'ted by large number Of friends and
admirers.

ST. Bernard,s Church.

The work on the new church of the St.
Bernard Catholic Society, is moving along
rapidly in the hands of the contractors,
Messrs. j. Bently 4 Son. Mr.. William
Strathearn, a gentleman of excellent taste
and ability as builder and architect, has
the management of the work, and under
his supervision the structure is assuming a
fine appearance. But few can realize The
extent and massiveness of the building until
they get inside. From what little we have
to judge from at present, the architectural
display and the style of finish on the in
side of the structure will be something
fine and grand. When completed st. Ber-
nard's church will be the largest church
ediice in the state, with but few larger in
the west, and the building can be well
pointed to with pride as an orname mt to
our city. @ ~

The EVIL Fruits of Weak Digestion

There is no pathological fact more clear
ly ascertained than that the most formid-
able phases Of nervous disease are directly
traceaole to imperfect digestion. Insomnia,
with its train of dreful consequences, pro-
ceeds more frequently from weak ness of the
stomach than from any other cause. Mere
sedatives are powerless to cure nervousness,
and soon cease TO pallate its symptoms.
The true way TO strengthen the nervous
system is to invigorate the digestive and
assimilative organs, upon whose unobstruc-
ted action its equilibrium is absolutely de-
pendent. The daily use of Hosletter's
Stomach Bitters will do more to brace and
soothe the weakened and irrita ed nerves,
and induce sound, refreshing sleep-nature's
grand catholicon than all the SO called
nervine to be found in the pharmacoreia
or out of it. wineglassful OF the Bitters
should be taken before each meal.

Death of George Smith.

We are panied to learn of the death of
Mr.. George Smith, for several years propri-
etor of the Empire FIGURING Mills of this
city. He died Sunday, June 18th, in Chi
cago at the residence OF his brother. His
remains will be taken to Beaver Dam for
interment. Mr.. Smith disposed of his
property here, and removed to DakotaL
Territory some four years ago settling on a
large track of land with the intention of
carrying on farming on an extensive scale.
But in this undertaking he was not success
full and his health failing him he removed
to Chicago about year ago. M Smith
will be remembered by our citizens as a
quiet and unassumine gentleman and a
thorough and reliable business man. His
death will be learned with deep regret by
our entire community. Mr.. Smiths age
was about IS years.

Newspaper LugEIery.

Our heretofore fair-minded neighbor of
the Democrat has been caught in one of
the cearest cases of newspaper thimble-
rigging that ever came under our knowl-
edge, and we are quite reluctant to be
obliged to speak IF a transaction hat is in
itself so highly dishonorable as to
justly cast discredt on tie press
The odium at present attached to the
Democrat is the result of it's own folly and
an endeavor on the part Of that paper to
play smart and double, at the same time,
and deal dishonesty with itself and tie
public. Of course, it need not be said how
excited our community was over the Sc
lection of steam FIRE engine and what
bitterness was engendered in some quarters
when the selection was made. With the
REPUBLICAN the Democrat published the re-
port of the committee in favor of the pur-
chase of the Silsby engine and showing the
superior qualifications of the Silsby steam
err over its competitor the Ahrens Cipcin-
natl steamer. This report so highly favor
able to the Silsby machine was published
in the regular edition of the Democrat of
the 9Th Of June. But presto change! an
other edition Of the same date, was struck
off with the report, so highly compliment
tary to Silsoy steamer, taken out, and
garbled account of the fine workings of the
Cincinnati machine inserted in the space
before occupied by the committees report
in favor of the Silsby In the Cincinnati
edition the tables were completely turned
against the Silsby steamer and undue merit
given to the Ahrens engine in the trials
which took place here. In fact the Silsby
folks were routed horse, Foote and dragoon
by the piece of newspaper ledgerdemain
practiced by the Democrat. Our communi
that after all it was the Cincinnati machine
and not the Silsby that had won at the
trials, and that the committee had la
boreo under strange hallucinaticn in
rendering what they did in favor of the
Sisby steamer. Each member of the COM
mittee as might be expected, as well as
every fair-minded and honorable man in
the community, is justly incensed,at SO dis
honorable transaction on the part
of the Democrat. 1t bears fraud upon
the face of it aud the act deserves the ut
Taking two sides on question of import
ance to the community in the same issue

tons of the public.

John Dillon.

That prince of Comedians, Mr. John
Dillon, who has on many occasions delight
ed Watertown audiences, will appear once
more before our citizens with Wallack's
Combination, at Turner Hall, next Satur-
day evening, June Oath. "Risks" is the
title of the play to be presented and from all
that is said in its favor, splendid ev ening's
entertainment will be enjoyed by those
who witness the performance. Nothing
Feed be given by us in praise of Mr.. Di Hon
az comedian of high order, and support
ed as he is by one of the best theatrical
combinations now travelling, our theatre
goers should require no pressing to give
him and his company full house.
The Omaha Herald of April 2lst. speaks
of the rendition of "Risk" By Mr.. Dillon
and troupe as follows:
A large audience greeted John Dillon
upon his appearance last evening. Those
who were prevented from obtaining seats
on the previous night were then accommo-
dated. "Risks," as performed by the Wal
lack Combination, takes front rank as a
domestic comedy. All the company from
Dillon down to Little Frou-Frou appear to
be naturally adapted to the character they
so we'll sustain. This is now one of the
finest combinations that has ever travelled
in the west, as those who have attended
their performances on either of the past
two evenings can well testify. 1t is but
seldom that company SO proficient in the
histronic art makes its appearance here, and
when they do their efforts are appreciated. :.
OF Dillon, especially, as the star, to much
praise cannot be given. His reputation
here is made. and but the mere announce
ment of his presence is sure to attract all
lovers of comedy. We believe there was
not q person present last evening but felt
amply repaid for the time and expense
spared in listening to him.
To-night's bill is a rousing one. "Mar-
ried Life" and "To Oblige Benson" will be
put upon the boards. In the former, Dill
Ion appears as Mr.. Henry Dove, an uneru-
dite husband, with a proper adaptation of
the others OF the company. The perform
ance concludes with the farce "To Oblge
Benson," which is roarer. and in which
the combination will be at home. Sew on
your buttons, fix your hustle, and prepare
for it. a
Seats can be scared without extra charge
at the: Postoai@ at any time. Apply for
them early, for there will be rush.

CIiHOrd's Theatre.

Mr.. Edwin Clifords Theatrical Troupe
opened at Turner Hall Tuesday evening of
this week for an engagement Of two nights.
The play of Nobody's Daughter and the
farce of Smith and Brown were presented
by the company. The audience was pain
fully small, but Notwithstanding the dis
couraging surroundings the pieces were
finely rendered and won the plaudits of
all present. Miss Fannie B. Price, the lead
ing artist with the troupe, is an actress of
no ordinary merit and combines force and
pathos in her roles, playing what
ever she undertakes with power
and effectiveness seldom equaled.
We consider her superior to any actress
who ever appeared on the WATERFOWL stage
and we only regret there was not larger
audience present to greet her on her FIRST
appearance among us. Tonight (Wednes-
day. the great drama of Griffith Gaunt will
be given for the first time in Watertown,
in which Miss Price appears as the coquette
and saint, and Kate Peyton. Mr.. Clifford
will also appear in his great character Of
Griffith Gaunt. No one should fail to see
this great play taken from the startling
novel of the same name by Reade. The
play is grand and exciting in the extreme,
ard finds enthusiastic admirers wherever it
is presented. We hope, for the reputation
of our city, to see crowded audience at
Turner Hall to- night, as Mr.. Clifford and
his troupe are well deserving of success in
their efforts to cater to our theatrical tastes.
Let US give them bumper tonight so that
the troupe will not leave US with impress
slons that We fail to appreciate true drama-
TIC genius, and care nothing for high order
OF stage talent.

College Commencement.

Tuesday of this week was commencement
day at the College of Our Lady of the
Sacred Heart and in. the afternoon large
number OF the friends of the institution as
sembled to listen to the closing exercises OF
the school. An interesting programme had
been selected for the OCCASION. The scholars
acquitted themselves finely in going through
the exercises and evinced high prof.
cheney of study in all departments. The re-
suit was very fatteriug to the faculty of this
Institution of learning and Indicated that
great care is taken with scholars left in
their charge.
