On its face this does not present
a very creditable showing for Mich
igan business men, but 1t is to be
said in their favor that the unpre-
cedented number of failures is
largely attributable to causes over
which they had no control, and
could not therefore be prevented
by the exercise Of ordinary bust
ness prudence and sagacity. Three

most subject of any to the depres-
sion of 1873 and the subsequent
years and the disastrous effect upon
them was necessarily several felt
by the business men in close rela-

the potent causes existing, that the

What bradley Confesses.


Il must be admitted that what he BRAD

virtual confession Of his weakness as man
aud incapacity as a Judge. He says he

Tut he does not explain how it came about
that he voted with the democrats TO hear
evidence on the eligibility of Elector Hum
phreys, whose eligibility was never really
doubted, and refused to hear it 10 the case
of the Louisiana electors, whose ineEgibil-
ity was abundantly capable of proof.
Here was an inconsistency which the vacil-
lation to which he says he was subject does
not at all explain, for it is impossible that
he could have honestly believed that the
principle of law was not the same in both
cases. since both were identical. Mr.
Bradley sitting on the supreme bench,
would never dare to commit such an
a:surdity.
The truth of the matter is that, what
ever his secret relations to the republican
conspirators may have been, Mr.. Bradley
displayed from the first, not desire to get
at the truth, but to discover some plausible
pretext for shutting it out; and it was the
difficulty OF doing this which gave him so
| much anxiety. 1t was because he found
the arguments of the democrats so terribly
straight to the mark that he wavered-
that he wrote and rewrote the cousidera-
tions. This was not the yacillation OF
! ignorance. but the adroitness of partisan.

leys action which aroused the indignation
of Judge Black. aud which he denounced
with such withering scoru. 1t is this, too
which the country refuses to forget, and

NATURES TRIUMPH. Nature, in her
luxuriance, has clothed the hills and the
dales with herb and shrub, whose occult
natures merely require the earnest appli-
cation of the scientific and inquiriDg mind
to reveal their curative properties, for in
the vegetable world a kindly providence
has placed healing for all nations. The
only specifics for any disease yet discovered
are vegetable IN their nature, and while
quinine has been accepted as the only re-
me6y for one class. the extract Of the bu
chu plant is rapidly taking its place as soy
ereign remedy for other of those ills aff1ict
humanity. The type of disease to which
it is remedial is broad one, and its mani
festatlons are legion. but it may be started
in general terms that all diseases of the
urinary organs, whether caused by climate,
irregulsrity. or self f-generated, submit at
once to the operation of its power. Helm
bold's Buchu for all such complaints, is the
result of long research, and is acknowledg-
ed superior to all other preparations.
