The President and the House.

The President has in sufficiently polite
phrase told the House to mind its own busi-
ness, and the Country applauds the rebuker.
1t was piece of gross impertinence on the
part of the House to interfere as it did in a
matter solely concerning coordinate branch
of the government, impertinence that called
for much harsher rebuff than it got. The
resolution of inquiry was made solely for par
tisan effect, and has proved to be, like many
other recent Democratic inquiries, of the ma
ture of a boomerang. If precedent can be
any justification President Grant certainly
has justification enough in the conduct of his
predecessors. With two exceptions, Harr-
son and Lincoln, all the Presidents have been
absent from the Capital more or less during
their terms Of office. So long as no Injury to
the public service results it is not clear on
what grounds objection can be made to the
practice. That injury has resulted is an ac-
cusation that even this House cannot bring
itself to put into form, and one which has
no foundation whatever. When it is re-
membered that Washington's proclamation
in regard to the Whisky Insurrection vas
made from Mt. Vernon, that Monticello was
the residence of Jefferson during more than
quarter of his term of Office, that Jackson
signed while in Boston the famous order for
the removal of the deposits, it cannot be
brought as a reproach against Grant that he
passes portion of the hot summer months
by the sea shore, from which ride of few
hours will carry him to the capital.
The House will do well to rebuke some OF
its own notorious absentees before it again
attempts to regulate the discharged the func-
tions of distinct and equal branch of the gov
ernment. Some of the members of
the majority even do not hesitate to
condemn its impudent course and ap-
prove the response of the President.
Reagan of Texas, thinks the message a
proper and dignified reply to an improper in
qiury and valuable as historical paper. Ex-
Gov. Thomas of Maryland, thinks the Demo-
cratic side deserves the rebuke so ad-
mirably administered for permitting the
inquiry to be made. The thoughts of
Blackburn of Kentucky have not yet
been made public. Outside Of the House
the Democracy are divided in sentiment.
The Connecticut Democrats are about to
show their opinion of absentism by sending
to the Senate Mr.. Barnum, the champion
absentee of the country. In Maine the
Democrats have no opportunity to send any
body anywhere, and so can afford to be very
strict in profession. They condemn the
President.

TEXAS now has greater Democratic ma
jority than Kentucky. The State has practi-
cally abolished its school system and the De-
mocracy of that State long since begun to
burn negro school houses and frighten the
teachers. Large Democratic majorities fol-
low the burning of school houses and the
banishment of teachers whether by refusing
to hire them or making it too hot for them.
The Democracy will carry every state that
has no school houses every time.

Taking into consideration the character OF its
vouchers, the history of its cures and the immense
increasing demand, VEGETINE may be fairly en-
titled the leading medicine of the age.
For scrotula in the blood, VEGETINE is an in
tallible remedy, and no person need suffer from
humors, ulcers, and all diseases arising from impure
blood, if VEGETINE is used according to directions.
There is not case Of scrofula in existence that
VEGFTINE will not cure, provided, however, the
vital functions have not lost their power of action,
all that may be SAID to the contrary notwithstanding
fuence and absolute in its action on disease as the
following unquestionable evidence will show.

Dear Sir: When about six months old was vac

The disease finally settled in my head. 1 remained
in this condition about twenty years, troubled all
the time with sores breaking in my head and dis

small kernel appeared on my neck, gradually in

for my blood without any substantial benefit.
then went to prominent physician in Boston,
who during his treatment of six months, lanced the
tumor eight times, which cost me nearly $500. This
left me with rough, aggravated sore, without at all
diminishing the size of the tumor, and in a sickly,
feeble condition. consulted another physician in
Natck, who, after considerable time, succeeded in
healing the without reducing the size At this
point I commenced to use VEGETINE, through the
earnest persuasion of a friend. After l had taken
this medicine about one week experienced wonder

going radical change until finally, the tumor broke
and discharged fightful quantities. From this time
it decreased in size until the bunch disappeared but
