The terrible heat at the West was
relieved somewhat on Wednesday. The
mercury Hanged from 95 to los through
out the West during the heated term.
The number of deaths from heat at St.
Louis up to Tuesday night was AS, and
the number of prOstrations from 1900
to 2OOO, many of which were not ex-
pected to recover. All through the
West business and labor were largely
suspended in consequence of the ex-
IRENE heat. 1t is a noteworthy fact.

fOur-tifths were men or women either

from the heat, with 20 doubtful cases.

breeze came to the relief of the over

What a Democratic Congress Does.

Senator Window has been interview
ed recently and what he said will not
be very likely to support democratic
professions of retrenchment and reform.
The senator is chairman of the senate
committee on appropriations, and his
position gives him power to speak ad-
visably on this subject. 1t appears
from this statement that the public
expenditures were reduced by the re-
publicans from 1868 to 1876 over seven
ty-three millions of dollars in the ag-
gregate, the annual average being over
nine million. The expenditures of 1876
were reduced by the republicans nearly
fifteen million dollars. The taxes were
reduced by republicans from 1868 to
1875, over 5O,00O,00O. Mr.. Window
carefully compared the appropriations
made by this congress with those of
last year and found the result to be us
follows: The total for last year was
Sl43,OOO,O 900; the total for this year,
S172 ,OOO, 900, an increase of $29, 200, 900
over that of last year. He says this in
crease is not chargeable to the extrava-
gance of the present congress, but to
the demagogueism of the previous con-
gress, in making pretended Savings
ioi PoiiOiCdI eIlecC Wneu Un6y were only
creating deficiencies" Their boosted
reductions in 1876 were effected by de-
nying appropriations indispensable to
the public service; by postponing nee
essary public works; by Iepudiating
national obligations, and by withhold
ing large sums for deficiency bills. Mr..
Window closed his remarks by saying
that the democratic plea of economical
reductions based upon the comparisons
of mere appropriations" without TAX
ing into account the sums respectively
carried to the surplus fund are absolute
" meaningless or else a sham and
fraud. During the three years of DEM
Ocratic domination in the house no bill
reducing taxes has passed that body ex-
cepting the reduction of some eight
cents per pound on tobacco. The de-
crease of expenditures by republicans
meant decrease of taxes; the reductions
by appropriations" by the democrats
meant only deficiencies, and postponed
national obligations.

Many a Dollar formerly spent on expensive
Sulphur Baths is now saved by substituting there
for GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP, which is just as bene-
fetal but infinitely cheaper. Local diseases of the
skin, rheumatism and govt all relieved by this
standard remedy. COmplexional blemishes are
eradicated by it, and it imparts to the cuticle a
Pearly wilderness and velvety softness which great
ly enhances the effect of female charms Its sooth-
ing. antiphiogistic action constitutes it a prime
remedy for sores, ulcers, cuts, sprains, scalds
bruises, and in fact every abnormal condition of
the cuticle attended by Inflammation, swelling OF
itching. Ladies moving in our best society speak
OF its identifying properties in enthusiastic terms
and give it a decided preference to cosmetics
which merely conceal but do not, like GLENN's SUI
PHUR SOAP, eradicate defects of the complexion
The use of ointments for eruptive complaints is to
be deprecated because of their having a tendency
to clog the pores and in some cases to aggravate
rather than remedy the disease They are besides
seldom thorough enough in their effects to prevent
the recurrence of eruptions of an nveterate type
and have the disadvantage of soiling the linen of
persons who use them. GLENNs SULPHUR SOAP
on the contrary radically cures the diseases to
which it is adapted and still further recommends
itself on account of its cleanliness 1t is besides
an admirable disinfectant of clothing which has
been worn by persons afflicted with diseases of a
contagious nature. As a specific preventive and
promoter of the general health it presents adyan
tages of the most unequivocal description Sold

Midsummer Madness.
TGeO. VIM Curtis1

The chief and vital objection to the
republican party in the minds of many
most patriotic and intelligent citizens is
the conviction that it has come to re-
gard itself as the country and the right
full government, and to consider opposi-
ton to itself as treason, if not wrong
offered TO human nature, and that con-
sequently it holds all means of per-
petuating its power to be permissible, if
not Imperative. The conviction is i'm
mensely strengthened by the ground
taken by republicans for the nOmina-
ton of Gen. Grant. The ground is,
that he alone can save us from destruc-
ton. Every honest, honorable and
patriotic American rejects with scorn
such an assumption. We have laughed
at democrats who argue that Gen. Grant
has the ambition of Louis Napoleon,
and enjoys royal dinners because he
wishes to be king. But here is re-
publican paper which says of his nom
nation, "We have reached point
where firm, steady hand is needed to
guide the nation" That is the tone of
Louis Napoleon's toadies. The duty of
an American president is to execute the
laws, not to guide the nation firmly.
Those who vociferously, and upon such
grounds, demand the nomination of
General Grant, are doing their utmost
to extinguish all hope of republican
success.

Charley Kellogg's five-year-old boy,
got up quite an excitement one day
last week, while visiting at his grand

the lines. He soon succeeded in start
ing the horses across the field into a
corn field, where they found the boy
and team in rather mixed condition.
1t was hard telling which was which,
but when righted it was found that the
boy was all that escaped uninjured.

Congressman HuntOn of Virginia has
challenged Columbus Alexander of
Washington to a duel. The trouble
grows out of bill which Mr.. Hunton,
as member of the committee on District
of Columbia affairs, pushed through
Congress at the close of the session,
legalizing some assessments made by
the old and corrupt board of public
works, which Mr.. Alexander has fought
long aud earnestly. Mr.. Hunton finds
his course bad electioneering argu-
ment, and in trying to defend it claim
ed that Mr.. Alexander had favored the
bill. Mr.. Alexander pronounced the
charge lie; Mr.. Hunton insisted that
he should retract Mr. Alexander re-
fused, and the congressman thereupon
sent him letter asking him to indicate
a place "where demand for the re-
paration which Virginians accord in
such cases can be made of you" Mr.
Alexander says he doesn't know what
the result will be, but it is against the
law of Virginia to send either a chal-
lenge or an acceptance, and he never
knowingly violates anv law. Mean
while the congressman is threatened
with prosecution under the statute
which renders person sending or re-
ceiving challenge ineligible to hold
any office.
