promise and Performance

The proprietors Of HOstetter's Stomach Bit.
ters promise nothing in behalf of this famous
tonic and regulating elixir which it will not
perform. No pretensiOns irrecOncilable with
common sense are made in reference to it, but
evidences of the most positive nature has been
accumulating for over a quarter Of a century
in its behalf which proves it to be a reliable
preventive and curative of malarial diseases,
an efficient and genial tonic and general cor
receive. and specially valuable in cases where
the bowels. liver, stomach or urinary organs
are affected. Debility, the source from whence
so many bodily evils spring, is entirely rene
died by the invigorative action Of the Bitters'
which arrests premature decay and repairs
losses of nervous and muscular power while
improving the appetite and rendering diges-
.tiOn easy.

about is best. Even when prepa-
rations shall have been matured,
the exact date would have to be
chosen with reference to the then
existing state of trade, and the
credit sheet of operations in our
country, the course of foreign COM
merce, and the condition of our
exchange with other nations. Spe-
cifc matters and actual date are
matters of detail. They belong to
the domain of practical admins
tratiye craftsmanship.
Resumption at the time fixed by
Congress is impracticable. Coin
has decreased in the Treasury and
the revenues are failing faster than
appropriations, and expenditures
are reduced. The public mind will
no longer accept shams. Resump-
ton must be gradual and by safe
processes.
In regard to civil service reform
Mr.. Tilden approves the plank of
the st. Louis platform, and even
goes further. He is eminently
sound on that question and severe
on greedy oficeholders. The road
to reform is to elevate the standard
by which appointments are made,
weed out incompetents and abolish
all unnecessary offices.
No reform of the civil service in
this country will be complete and
permanent until its chief magis-
trate is constitutionally disqualified
for reelection. Experience has re-
peatedly exposed the futility of self
imposed restrictions by candidates
or incumbentS. Through this
solemnity only can he be effectually
delivered from his greatest tempta-
tion-to misuse the power and pa
tronage with which the executive
is necessarily charged.
Governor Hendricks letter is
quite pointed, and not SO long. He
is in full accord with the st. Louis
platform and Mr.. Tilden upon the
questions of reform of finances,
taxation, etc. These two letters,
taken all in all, are perhaps the
ablest that ever emanated from
Presidential candidates. We are
enabled to-day to give in our tele-
graphic columns copious extracts
from the editorial columns Of the
New York papers.

order Of Prince Milan, describes a double
execution which he witnessed A SOL
der who had deserted his post, and a
cinsy woman accused Of being q spy,
were ordered TO be shot. The soldier
demanded that he might be executed
musket in hand, and his request was
granted. He walked quietly up to a
large tree and leaned his back against 1t.
The firing party took up its position at
ten PAGES distant, aud we're about to
level their arms, when the condemned
stretched out his hand and cried, Michel
Branicovanowitch, forget not that you
promised my sister q silver chain u
remember, and will keep my word, an
swered the man in the firing party.
THANK you. Render me also another
service, and cut my throat before | am

Ger gave the command to fire, and Jo-
blinowitch fell, but only wounded, A
man stepped forward to finish him, but
he cried, Not that one-Michel. And
Michel Branicovanowitch approached
aud blew out the wounded mans brains.
Then came the turn Of the Zingara,
whom the soldiers hung to the branch OF
a tree. She never uttered a word while
the preparations were being made, aud
merely followed the movements of the
executioner with her glittering eyes.
