MUSICAL.
The Grand Orchestra Concert.


The fourth concert of the season by
the Cincinnati Grand Orchestra took
place at Pixies Music-hall last night,
The audience was large and fashion
able one; but, what is more gratifying
still, it was one made up Of genuine low
ers of music. People who had attended
these concerts many times before,
knowing what was in store, came thor
oughly in humor tor real enjoyment.
The Cincinnati Grana Orchestra has
come to be regarded as our musical edu-
Gator, and it has taken the public along,
step by step, till it can now have a
hearty appreciation by its audiences of
music that few years ago would have
been far above their reach. Mr.. Brands
efforts never fail TO please because he is
a thorough musician and because he mas
perfect acquaintance with his audi
ence.
Miss Emma Heckle, who assisted, is a
local favorite. She always sings well,
and is always heartily welcomed.

State Binder.

We noticed in the Waterloo Courier
of last week well-written and appro-
priately expressed article bringing out
the name of Matt PARROT, of the Repor-
ter, of the same city, as candidate for
the Office of State Binder, to be elected
by the next General Assembly. The
Courier makes generous allusion to Mr.
PARROTS superior qualifications for the
position, his experience in the business
of book binding, his business ability, his
sterling qualities as man, his unbend
ing integrity and his record as a consist
ent Republican, all of which we can cor
daily endorse from our own knowledge,
and more. Mr. Parrot has every quail
fication for this particular position in a
marked degree. A better man for it
cannot be found in the State, on the
score alone of intimate acquaintance
with its duties, while on the general
ground of high principle, honor good
judgment and proper sense of response
bility, Matt Parrot is worthy of any
office within the gift of the State. We
cheerfully second the nomination of our
friend Parrot, and hope that the Legis-
lature will see it's appropriateness and
consult the public interests by electing
him.

Remedy for Diphtheria.

The Springfield Mass) Republican,
referring to the prevalence of the above
dread disease in that vicinity and gener-
ally throughout New England, calls at
tention to the beneficial effects attend
ant upon certain recently applied rene
dies which have in remarkable degree
Invested the disease of it's terrors. The
remedy especially mentioned by the
Republican is simply chlorine water di-
luted with from two to four times it's
volume of water. 1t asserts that we'll
known physician of that city has used
this specific exclusively for fifteen years
with complete success, having in that
period repeatedly eradicated the disease
in localities where all other remedies ut
terly failed. Previous to the adoption
of this method he lost, on an average,
one-half of the cases which came to
him, but during the period he has en-
ployed the above remedy, failure to cure
is extremely rare. This is certainly a
simple remedy, and the assurance of the
existence of an effective remedy against
the ravages of this frightful scourge
will be gladly welcomed.

THANKSGIVING.
Proclamation by the President.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 29-The
following was issued this afternoon:
The completed circle of summer and
winter, seed-time and harvest, has
brought us to the accustomed season at
which religious people celebrate with
praise and thanksgiving the enduring
mercy OF Almighty God. This devout
and public confession Of the constant
dependence Of man upon the Divine
Father for all the good gifts Of life, and
health, and peace, and happiness, so ear
ly in our history made the habit of our
people, finds in the survey of the past
year new grounds for it's joyful and
grateful manifestation In all blessings
which depend upon benignant seasons,
this has indeed been memorable year.
Over the wide territory of our country,
with all it's diversity Of soil and climate
and products Of the earth, has yielded
bountiful return to the labor of the hus-
bandman. The health of the people has
been blighted by no prevalent or wide
spread diseases; no great disasters of
shlpwreck upon our coasts or to our
commerce on the seas have brought loss
and hardships to merchants or mariners
and clouded the happiness of the com
munity with sympathetic sorrow. In all
that concerns our strength, and peace,
and greatness as a nation; in all that
touches the permanence and security of
our Government and the benefcent in
situations on which it rests; in all.
that affects the character and DISPOSE
ton of our people, and tests our capaci-
ty to enjoy and uphold the equal and
free condition of society, now perma-
nent and universal throughout the land,
the experience of the last year is con
spicuously marked by the protecting
providence of God. and is fn Il Of prom
Use and hope for the coming genera
tons
Under q sense Of these infinite obliga-
tons to the Great Ruler Of times, and
seasons, and events, let us humbly as
cribe it to our own faults and frailities
if, in any degree, that perfect concord
and happiness, peace and justice which
such great mercies should diffuse thro'
the hearts and lives of our people, do
not altogether and always and every
where prevail. Let us with one spirit
and with one voice lift up praise and
thanksgiving to God for His manifold
goodness to our land, and His manifest
care for our nation
Now, therefore, |, Rutherford B.
Hayes, President of the United States,
do appoint Thursday, the 29th day of
November next, as day OF thanksgiv-
ing and prayer, and | earnestly recon-
mend that, withdrawing themselves from
secular cares and labors, the people of
the United States do meet together on
that day in their respective places of
worship, there to give thanks and praise
to Almighty God for His mercies, and
to devoutly beseech their continuance
In witness whereof, | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed
Done at the City of Washington this
Goth day of October, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-seven, and of the indie
pendencc of the United States the
one hundred and second.
L. S. r. B. HAYES.

SOME of the anti-policy papers are
making allusion to recent letter of Sec
rotary Devens, excusing himself from
active participation in the Massachu-
sets campaign, as the latest interpre-
tation" of the civil service order; de-
signing thereby to convey the impression
that said order has been modified and
Modified; in short, that the President
has weakened in consequence of the
clamor of machine politicians, and by
later " interpretations is taking the
pith out of his civil service policy. This
assumption is not warranted by any
thing that has come from the President
or his Cabinet. Secretary Devens' let
ter conveys merited rebuke to Repub-
lican officials who are refusing to speak
and vote for the party under the pre-
tence that they are forbidden so to do
by the civil service order He calls the
attention of those sulky gentlemen to
the express terms of the order, which
distinctly states that the right of offic-
ials to vote and express their opinions
on public questions on the stump or
through the press, is not denied or
sought to be abridged, provided it does
not interfere with their official duties.
He says in conclusion:
If such gentlemen choose not to vote, or not
to express or enforce their views in support
of the principles of the Republican party, eth
er orally or otherwise, they at least should not
give q reason for such a course which Is not
justified by the order referred to, and which Is
simply perversiOn.

Deceiving the People.

The Inter- Ocean, which abuses the
President, ridicules the Administration
denounces the Southern policy, and
scorns any attempt at reform in the civ
il service, has adopted a new style of
dealing with the President on the civil
service question. After quoting only
the opening sentence of the order, which
reads: "No officer should be required or
permitted to take part in the manage
ment of political organizations eau
cuses, conventions, or election cam
paigns," and emitting that portion
which says that the right is not denied
to office-holders ito express their views
on public questions, either orally or
through the press" provided it does not
interfere with the transaction of their
official duties, it says that it has had a
communication from an occasional cor
respondent who is credited with speak
ing semi officially, and who now announ-
ces that the order is permitted to be
read by officials as not preventing them
from doing anything to promote the IN
terests 0nd secure the success of the 23olit
ical organization aoith 'chich he IS tdenti-
fed." And thereupon it proceeds to
deliver the President lecture, and to
announce that his views have changed.
That is the Inter- Oceanic style of
burying the truth when it is found
around it's establishment 1t is peril
nent to suggest in this matter that no
sane man believes that the 10. has re-
ceived any such communication, and
certainly not from semi-ofticial source,
The order referred to has not been mod
flied, by authority, though it has been
explained to set of office-holders in
Massachusetts too stupid or too malev-
client in disposition to understand a few
plain words of simple Anglo-Saxon.
The President has not weakened in the
matter and the 10. knows it. That
paper undertakes to deceive when it
states that the order has been ''unoffi-
cially modiied;" it misstates, to put it
mildly, when it announces that it has
information to that effect from any per-
son who, we have reason to know,
speaks semi-officially when abiding to
the Administration" 1t knows of no
person so speaking, who is so entitled to
speak 1t is trying to steal from the
public good opinion of the President,
when it declares without color of proof,
that he has unofficially modified that Or
der and is in this way trying to Save
himself the humiliation Of a back down"
The 10. has lectured on purely sup
posititious case. 1t cannot be believed.

THE expressions of the Republican
press in every part of the State more
than confirm our opinion, expressed
some months ago, that the people Of
Iowa had settled down to the conviction
that they cannot do better than to re-
tain Mr.. Allison in his high position in
the United States Senate. There is a
singular and gratifying unanimity OF
sentiment on this point in all sections
of the State AS yet, not ripple OF
opposition is excited. This general ac-
ouiescence in his return to the place he
has filled SO well, is all the more honor
able to him as it is spontaneous. APP
parently no figuring or wire-working has
been needed. The people, appreciative
of his honorable record thus far, salts
fed of his ability, integrity, prudence
and devotion to theis best interests,haye
already decided that he shall be his own
successor. His past services give as
surance that this confidence will not be
misplaced,

LAST Monday being the regular day
for the introduction of bills in Congress
perfect avalanche of documents were
offered in the House, loading the Speak
cas- table almost beyond it's capacity
No less than 945 bills were introduced
in the space of five hours, the largest
number ever before introduced in one
day in the history of Congress. A large
share of them relate to the subject of
finance, almost every western member OF
Congress seeming to have mission to in
troduce bill to repeal all or part of
the Resumption act: or to provide Tor
the reconciliation of silver No bills
upon the finance question came from
New England. 1t is evident that large
majority in the House favors the re-
monetization of silver and the repeal of
the date of resumption.

CHARLEY TALMADGE, OF the West
Union Gazette, and his estimable spouse,
upon the tenth anniversary of their
marriage, last week, were made the re-
cipients of quite an ovation. A large
number of the citizens of West Union,
without premonition of their purpose,
and burdened with tinware in infinite
variety and generous quantity, invaded
the editorial domicile, and, first reliev-
ing themselves of their shining gifts,
put forward Hon. S. B. Zeigler to express
their congratulations, which duty he per-
formed in felicitous manner, winding
up his speech by the presentation to the
bewildered quill-driver of an enormous
pair of tin shears, supposed to be typi-
cal and appropriate to the editorial
calling. A poem, written for the occa-
sion by c. c. Zeigler, was read by Hon.
W. E. Fuller 1t is printed in the last
issue of the Gazette, and is produc-
ton of rare poetic merit. 1t gives us
genuine satisfaction to note this grace
full and spontaneous tribute of appreci-
alton to one of the best editors and best
men in the State of Iowa. 1t shows
that the people of West Union fully re-
alize what his brethren of the press long
since discovered, that Charley Talmadge
is an honor to the profession Of journal
ism, and that it is becoming for them to
honor and cherish him for the good that
he has done and is capable of doing
among them.

The following extract from sentence
recently pronounced by Chicago Judge
upon certain liquor dealers convicted Of
selling liquor to minors, is the severest
arraignment Of the license system we
ever remember to have seen:
By the law you may sell it to men
and women, if they will buy You have
given your bond and paid your license to
sell to them, and no one has right to
modest you in your legal business. No
matter what the consequences may be.
no matter what poverty and restitution
are produced by your selling according
to law, you have paid your money for
this privilege, and you are licensed to
pursue your calling No matter what
families are distracted and rendered
miserable; no matter what wives are
treated with violence; what children
starve or mourn over the degradation of
a parent-your business is legalized, and
no one may interfere with you for it.
No matter what mother may agonize
over the loss Of son, or sister blush at
the shame of BROTHER you have right
to disregard them all, and pursue your
legal calling-yOu are licensed. You
may fit up your lawful place of business
in the most enticing and captivating
form that is possible; you may furnish
it with the most costly and elegant
equipments for your own lawful trade;
you may fill it with the allurements of
amusements; you may use all arts to
allure visitors; you may skillfully ar
range and expose to view your choicest
wines and captivating beverages; you
may induce thirst by all contrivances to
produce raging appetite for drink, and
then you may supply that appetite to
to the full, because it is lawful; you
have paid for it--you have license.
You may allow boys and children to fire.
quent your saloon; they may witness the
apparent satisfaction with which their
seniors quaff the sparkling glass;
you may be schooling and training them
for the period of twenty-one, when they,
too, can participation all this is law
full. You may hold the cup to their
lips; but you must not let them drink
that is unlawful. For, while you have
all these privileges for the money you
pay, this poor privilege of selling to
children is denied you Here parents
have the right to say, leave my son to
me until the law gives you right to
destroy HIM. Do not anticipate that
terrible moment when 1 can assert for
him no further rights of protection.
That will be soon enough for me, for his
sister, for his mother, for his friends, for
the community, to see him take the
road to death Give him to us in his
childhood at least. Let us have a few
hours of his youth, in which we can en-
joy his innocence, to repay us, in some
small degree, for the care and love we
have lavished upon him.
This is some which you, who now
stand prisoners at the bar, have not paid
for; this is not embraced in your license.
For this offense the Court sentences you
to ten days Imprisonment in the county
Jail, and that you pay fine of seventy
five dollars and costs, and that you stand
committed until the fine and costs of
this prosecution are paid

As our forms are being made up for
the press, the heavy intelligence reaches
us through the Dubuque papers that
Indiana's great Senator, Oliver P. Nor
ton, breathed his last at $50 yesterday
afternoon, passing away peacefully after
weeks of much suffering, with the words
upon his lips, " am dying. I am worn
out" It is difficult, at one effort, to
conceive the extent of the nations loss
in the death Of this great statesman and
intellectual giant. A great man has fall
len; great because of his ponderous
powers of mind great because of his pa
triotic record and great in his untiring
and determined championship of human
rights. The extent of the good inhu-
ence he might have exerted upon his
own party, and for the benefit of the
nation at this juncture Of affairs, cannot
be over-estimated. A score of lesser
men might better have been spared than
he. But after life's fitful fever, he
sleeps at last, and to his countrymen is
left the grateful task of enrolling his
among the names of the patriots who
have served their country with honor
and distinction.

The Adopting Business.
Detroit Free Press.

There is a grape arbor in front Of a
house on Macomb street, and the tempt
ing clusters of black grapes make more
than one pedestrians mouth water: A
bow about ten years old softly opened the
gate yesterday forenoon and passed in.
When he came out fifteen seconds later,
he was only sixteen inches in advance
of the family dog, and he seemed great
ly embarrassed. -,
Hello, bub, been in after grapes?"
asked a pedestrian. =,
"N-no, SIR stammered the lad; II
went in to see if they warranted to
adopt an orphan, but they didn't seem
to c-care much about it, -
II see they have grapes in there OBJ
served the man.
"Y-yes, sir, but grapes amt good this
time O year-they p-pucker the mouth
all up.
