scoundrelism in connection with the New
York custom house. The committee who
have had the matter in charge have made
detailed report, showing the number of per-
sons employed in the various departments

report gives detailed exhibit of the condi.

the extent of the robberies that have been
practiced in one of the revenue strongholds,
and point unerringly to the fact that under
Grant dishonesty prevailed throughout
every department of the government. That
our readers may have the facts as presented
by the committee, we give the figures as they
appear In the report. The numerical
strength and annual expense of the New
York custom house, as scheduled by the
committee, is as follows:

"CANKER In THE BUD"

You watch its development with expect
ant solicitude-the choice, exquisitely-
moulded bud which promises to unfold with
the perfect flower. You perhaps think how
it woald adorn the drawing room vase, and
anticipate the pleasure of showing it to your
flower loving friends. Bat some morning
you ind its head dropping, fS fragrance fed,
and an ugly purple spot on one of the deli
cately tinted petals 1t is the poets ''canker
in the bud" How often the loathsome
canker blights the cherished Infant blos-
soms' in our household gardens-those hu-
man buds which give earnest of brilliant
future. The noisome canker, so long con-
cealed-scrofula-at length reveals its.
dreaded presence, and to our bright hopes
succeeds the most agonizing fear, for we
know the fatal sequel it portends-pulmon-
airy consumption. 1t IS estimated by emf
nent medical authorities that at least one
NTH of mankind are afflicted with this in
sidious malady. But its ravages are 50 secret,
that even its victims are unaware of its pres
ence until it suddenly discloses itself in
some of its myriad and ofttimes fatal forms.
A slight cutaneous eruption is often the only
indicator of its presence. The only means of
exterminating this disease from the system
is by thorough course of constitutional
treatment This treatment must fulfill three
indications, namely-promote nutrition, al
ter or purify the blood, and arrest disorgan-
ization of the tissues and the formation of
tubercles No more efficient Alternative can
be employed for these purposes than DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery While
imparting strength and tone to the digestive
organs, il cleanses the blood and heals the
diseased tissues. Test its virtues ere the
deadly canker has blighted the life you
prize.

speaker in the country.

1t is safe to say that for the past fifteen
years this scoundrelism has been going for
ward, and that the people have been swim
died out of S4,795. 800. The public believes
that the New York custom house illustrates
the depth of radical rottenness in every
thing. 1t was to correct these villainies, to
purify the government and introduce an
era of honesty that the people in November
last declared at the ballot-box by an over
whelming majority that the radical party
should step down and out. The figures given
above form part of the sum total of the
reasons for the verdict, and the infamous
crime perpetrated by that Louisiana return
ing board gives climax to the radical man
agement of governmental affairs which,
though to the last degree infamous and de-
plorable, is fitting jewel in the crown of
crime which the radical party must wear
forever

to the edifce of fraud, in the building of
which he had been chief architect, and in
the event he should fail as a benevolent
mountebank, the disaster would have far
reaching influences. But his friends at last
overcame the fears of the great conspirator,
and having concluded to forever set
tie the question for indianapolis
whether the strawberry, the oyster
or Morton had the strongest hold upon the
affections of the people, the next question
was a subject-a theme. The suggestions
were numerous. THE value of perjury in
elections was suggested and rejected.
"How to make fraud pay" also went by the
board. ''The future state of radical thieves"
was regarded too personal for Indianapolis,
and was laid aside. At last Morton was
allowed to have his way and discuss the
electoral college" business. Orphans were
selected as the beneiciaries of Morton's first
exploit. 1t was thought the orphans would
draw-whether Morton could or not. A
large house was engaged; the hours wore on.
The senator appeared and Iectured to about
sixty hearers, including dead heads. The
thing was a literary fizzle, was a financial
disaster. Morton hobbled out, and it was
the universal conviction that means of
raising money for benevolent enterprises
either a peck of strawberries or dozen
cans of Baltimore oysters were worth reg
iment of o. P. Mortons.

OF this vast amount the managers of the
radical party have regularly assessed a per
cent as a corruption fund, for the purpose
OF perfecting frauds upon the ballot-box and
in carrying forward such infamous crimes as
were consummated by the Louisiana return
ing board, by virtue of which Hayes, instead
of Tilden, is in the Office of president. 1t is
by no means certain that the country is
fully advised of the depth of the rottenness
existing in the New York custom house. and
that further exposure will come is generally
believed; but the committee, however much
disposed to shield radical viilainies, have
been compelled to let in upon them suf-
ficient light to show that the annual steal
ings have amounted to more than $500, 600.
This is demonstrated by the recommends
lions of the committee, which, if carried
out, will make an aggregate reduction in the
present numerical force of the custom house
of 2s7 persons and effect an annual saving
of 1919, 700, as will be seen from the follow
ipO supnD,ary.

THE radical papers, as a class, are full of
denunciatons of the south because violators
of the law are not caught and imprisoned or
hung within day Or two after the commls-
sion of the crimes. Our reading leads to
the conclusion that thieves and murders are
punished with about as much expedition in
the south as elsewhere in the Uniied States,
and we are quite willing to go upon the
record with this declaratiod.

THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE.

The general public very well understands
that the times are exceedingly hard, and
have been growing steadily worse since the
panic of 1873. Another fact almost uniyer-
sally accepted, and which forms one of the
chief factors of the hard times. is that the
financial and business interests of the coun-
try have been controlled by the radical
party, and it is truth established beyond
controversy that while there has been an
absolute necessity for retrenchment and re-
form in private and corporate expenditures,
growing out of the radical financial policy,
blunders and frauds, the government itself
has been both prohigate and Grim
inal in its use of the public
revenues of the country. This fact
has been brought to light in many ways
since the Investigations by the democratic

A YOUTHFUL Nebraska scientist in search

given. This would give for section of $40

THE fish in Passaic river, New Jersey, are
dying by thousands and tens of thousands.
The cause of the mortality is ascribed to the
condition of the water, which is poisoned by
the arsenical dyes of the print works stu
ated upon the banks of the river, and from
other similar causes. AS the case now
stands the probabilities favor the depopula-
ton of the Passaic, as from the description

SOME of the radical organs pretend they
do not believe that Morton had less than
sixty persons to hear his great lecture in this
city on the electoral college, and for the
benefit of the orphans. Those who doubt
should ask the Journal Its veracity may be
sufficiently elastic TO give Norton hundred
hearers. Beyond this, however, it will
break.

1t would appear to be something
like discounting trouble to apprehend
danger to the petroleum trade of this
country because tina toil has been dis
covered couple of hundred miles
interior from the Black Sea. The
existence of an intiammable gas and
oil in that region has been known for
centuries, and both have been used
to some extent. But the oil has never
been collected in understandable GUAM
titles, and the possibility of doing
this is yet to be ascertained. Penn
sylvania petroleum is now shipped
to that very sea. and. until there is a
railway built. can continue to be
shipped and undersell the oil of the
interior if that can be collected in
large amounts. Still. it is we'll to
recognize the possibility of rivalry
in an interest that brought 500 ,000, 900
into the country last year, and that
will bring 0.00O,O 900 this year, and
that this possibility exists in South
America and Europe as well as in
Asia.

EARTHQUAKE.

PANAMA, Oct. 25.-An alarming
shock of earthquake was feltin Lima
and in Calloa at about two O'clock on
the morning of the 10th instant. The
alarm created was less from the vio-
lence of the shock than from its long
duration. The undulation was clear
ly pereeptible from north to south
and many parties in Lima declare
that it lasted more than a minute.
The sensation created by this phe-
nomenon was not unlike that pro-
duced by the memorable earthquake
of the 9th of May last. According to
kilograms published by the Com
ercio" on the 9th instant, the earth.
quake on the morning of that day
was severely felt in Pisco, lea and
Chincha. There were two heavy
shocks which occurred at 30 a. M,
and they caused great alarm among
the inhabitants.

Mr.. A. Oakley Hall returns to this
country in an obfuscated state of mind
as to what mental condition he was
in when he departed. But he is
clearly OF the opinion that the plea
of insanity set up by murderers has
often more merit than is generally
supposed. Whether this peculiar
train of reflections has been set in
motion by the consciousness of his
own eccentricities, or with the idea
of pleading insanity himself if ever
arraigned for his alleged connection
with the Tweed ring, is more than
We can pretend to determine. The
circumstances of his departure from
the United States and his return
might be used as plausible plea for
his own deficiency of reason In case
he should ever be indicted for crime.
