A Queer Proceeding.

correspondent writes us calling a.ten-
ton to a very remarkable proceeding on
the part of the Board of Street Commits.
sioners. The statement is that after ad :
journment at a late meeting, the members
met in the Clerks office and Informally
arranged with Messrs. Mulberger & Gardner
to make an investigation as to the legality
of the railroad bonded Indebtedness of the
city, and report at some future time
whether in their opinion the same cannot
be successfully overthrown in the counts
That the Board should have met in secret
session, and by the aid of dark lantern
transacted business of this nature in a clan
destine manner, is not calculated to impress
the public favorably. If there is any merit
in the proposition, or if the Board thinks
that the undertaking is a judicious one,
why should the business be done in this
ex traordlnary manner, and the people kept
in the dark about it? In matters of this
kind, the public Lave right to know what
their representatives are doing, and the fac
that the Board has departed from this OBJ
viOusly wise course in the present instance
shows clearly that it has been doing some
thing of which it has good reason to feel
ashamed.

Regular Secretion Essential TO Health

reg u1af SeCfeG1On ESS enLh8I 20 Hedi II
The regular secretion and flow of the
gastric juices and of the bile, which the use
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters promotes, are
effects which conduce materially to the res
toraton of health, when the system is dis
ordered. Food is not digested in the dys-
peptc stomach because the gastric fluid is
deficient, superabundant or vitiated; the
liver becomes congested and the bowels
constipated because the supply of bile is in
adequate or misdirected. The Bitters rec
THY all this and removes every ill-conse-
quence of non-assmilation and bilious
irregularity. furthermore, it stimulates
the action of the kidneys, by which impur-
titles are, SO to speak, strained from the
blood, and any tendency in the urinary
organs to grow sluggish and disordered
counteracted. Whether it be used as a
means of regulating gastric or bilious secre-
ton, and relieving the overloaded bowels,
or to promote complete and, therefore,
healthfu urination, Hostetter's Bitsers may
be relied upon with confidence to accom-
plsh the end in view.

h. Il. HrOOk Henrd From.

Else where will e found a card from F.
p. Brook in reply to the charge Of the Wat
ertoWn Democrat that the publication of
Earl Newion'S agreement to not appoint
Joseph Giles Deputy Sheriff was a breach OF
faith OF the custodiaus Of the doc lment 1t
is in all respects cor roborative Of the view
we have heretofore taken that Newton has
played the game of a political desperate,
and that his pathway to the Sherf's Office
is strewn with broken promises and blasted
friendships. 1t was a matter of public
notor'ety last fall that he Pledged himself
in conven ton to not confer any appoint
ment upon Giles; and every man Of sense
at all conversant with politics knows that
his nomination was obtained by means OF
that pledge. But for this promise he would
have been defeated, for majority of the
delegates were outspoken and determined
in their demand that the barn acles should
be thrown overheard. Newton announced
himself as the 'anti-ring candidate" and
solemnly promised to inaugurate a new
policy and Install new men in the manage
ment of the Sherffs office, if nominated and
elected. He secured his nomination and
subsequently he renewed this pledge, putting
the same in writing, and so completely won
the confidence of the anti-ringsters that
they supported and elected him. Mean
while the friends of Giles had not been
asleep, and they, too, were driving Newton
into corner and extracting from him a
vow directly in conflict with that given to
the other faction. The final denoument,
whereby Giles carried off the prize and his
enemies were discomfted is what has now
arrayed the chic ftans of the clans. 1t is
very cl ar that Brook and his followers
have the best of he argument, but Newton
and Giles probably care little for this while
they are perm tilted to enjoy the sweets of
office. Meanw lille, we commend TO Newton
and Giles careful perusal Of Brooks letter,
in which they will find much food for re-
Election. 1t will not hurt the Democratic
rank and file, also, to ponder the facts
there presented, and behold an exposure OF
the tricks by which their party leaders
manipulate conventions and deceive the
people.
