A medical correspondent of an

suffer with rheumatism are cured in
a few days by feeding on this deli

cases are much relieved, especially
if the patient avoids all acids,
whether in food or beverage.

They DIDN'T GET MARRIED.-A few days

to Detroit widow, each having two or
three children, and both being well of, de-
ter;nined to test her love for him and at
the same time discover if she was actuated
by mercenary motives, as some OF ms
friends had asserted. He called upon her
at the usual evening hour, and after while
remarked:
"My dear, you know have two chill
dren, and to-day l had my life insurance
for $4,000 changed to their sole benefit IN
case of my death"
"You did quite right, my darling" she
promptly replied. az have three children

gagged had every dollars worth of my

NEWSPAPERS COST MONEY.

A great many people seem deternn-
ined not to understand that newspapers
are published as business enterprises,
for the purpose Of furnishing
livelihood for their propdetors. Such
people seem to think newspaper is
public property, to be used by whoever
wishes its space or influence. Many men,
considered intelligent and honorable,
will walk into newspaper office and
request the publication Of worthless srti-
cles from fifty lines TO five columns long.

There was also an appropriation for pub.
lie works in 1876 of Sl6, 755, 900, in ad-
dition to the civil list, which, In that
year, exceeded $40, ZOO, 600. An exami-
ination Of the above table will show
that The expenses increased from year to
year. An additional appropriation of
SCI 900, 600 was asked by the secretary of
the treasury for the year 1S76-77. In
Ex-Governor Shepherds last report to
his friend Grant, in his capacity of pres
ident of the board of public works, the
report bearing date November !, 1873,
that model exponent OF Grantism COM
planned that, "while, since the year 1902,
the citizens of the District have expend-
ed, for the improvement OF streets and
avenues, and for sewerage, $1S,148,-
AS 50, the total appropriation granted
By congress for these purposes reach the
comparatively small Ssna of 81 49,
7O6 49," 1t follows from this that Grant
ism takes in one gear 81, 1856, PSI IL to do
what previously cost only s., 476, 7O6 40
in seventy gears. Up to Grants time,
by Shepherds figures, Washington and
the District cost the people $64, 600 a
year. Since Grantism uas been inaugu-
rated it costs the people $4,000, 900
year, while the citizens of the District
suffer from oppressive taxation besides.
We will let this suffice for the present.
In future articles we will show how the
cost of public printing has increased
since the advent OF Grsntism, and also
bow much it has cost to collect the rev.
enue. Our object is to prove, beyond all |
csvil, that the Republican party, of
which Hayes and Wheeler are the ex-
is not the party of reform.

pOmp Of virtue they budded and bloomed
above the feculence Of the party papers,
sud tossed purer moral fragrance into
the sir which they had purified. They
chirruped as merrily together as the blue
birds in early spring. They looked down
upon the. party-organs with as much
disdain as the lap.dog, riding in the
chariot Of its mistress, looks down upon
the unfortunate mastiff, tTudging through
the mud and rain. These papers scolded
the two old parties, and turned their
noses up in naughty contempt for their
organs. But the syndicate has bursted
gone into bankruptcy. The bloom OF
purity has faded. One by one of the
independent journals have fallen away,
bsckslidden and dropped off to the
demnitlon bow.wows. The Chicago
Tribune was the fret to descend
from its lofty eminence, and plunge in
to the filth and mire OF partisan
politics. The st. Louis Republican,
Chicago Times and COarierJ Journal are
bowling for Tilden. The Springfield
Republican and the New York Tribune
are blatant for Hayes. All the lovely
flowers in the garden Of independent
journalism have withered, faded and
gone. If there is now a Journal profess
ing what these papers professed short
time since, it is like the last rose Of
summer blooming alone. The course OF
these journals is really no change,
for we have noticed that the
papers which SO loudly boast Of their
independence are the narrowest, most
virulent and the bitterest Of all partisan
newspapers. Their professions Of indie.
pendence is all hypocrisy. Their indie
pendence consists solely and wholly in
uucompromising and inscriptions an
tsgonikm to those who incur their petty
hates and dislikes. With all their pro-
fessiOns they are servile lickspittles in
pRndering TO the behests Of their party.
La America an Independent in politics
is a misnomer. 1t is position which
cannot be long occupied, SO the course
OF the journals above named demon
strates. When a Republican refuses 10
cooperate with his party, and pirates
about bis independence, he will sooner
or later join the enemy. When Demo-
crat becomes disguised with his party,
and repudiates its organization, he will
become a Republican, inspired
by all the enthusiasm which makes new
converts noisy; but his open apostacy
will be Gratifying to his former COM
rades, who prefer an oFen enemy to
deceitful friend.
