Let the work 60 braveiy on.

A long, strong, and steady pull is what
brings the boat through the breakers.
Steady, united, and firm resolution to win
is the spirit which paves the way to success.
Let no opportunity pass which can be
made available for more perfect and
thorough organization in the democratic
ranks of this county. Oftentimes the
very boldness of undaunted action accom-
plishes the desired end, when less deter
mination and vigor would have resulted 10
utter rout. The prospect of democratic
victory at the polls this fall, in this county
is more than hopeful, it is truly encoura-
ging. The contest is triangular, and the
democracy thus far have apparently the
best of it, But there must be no relaxa-
tion of vigorous and persistent effort;
democrats must clasp hands with
victory and yield never an inch.
In every township make careful and
exact canvass-know your men get out
the voters-encourage the wavering-se-
cure the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the workers
-enlighten the people-and do every
thing for the ticket which is legitimate
and honorable. Among the many things
favorable to the democrats at this time is
their unity and harmony. lin this county
we have good sound ticket, each man is
an acceptable and suitable candidate for
the Office, there is no factious opposition
in the party towards single man on the
ticket, they are singly and collectively
men whom the party can willingly and en-
Enthusiastically work for, whom they can
support zealously. whom the people can
confide in as worthy and we'll qualified.
Democrats, perfect your organization
thoroughly. and labor as increasingly as
your pponents-resolve that victory shall
be won, and show by your actions and your
interest in behalf of your candidates that
all will be done which it is possible for the
party to do.

The Liver is the imperial organ of
the whole human system, as it controls
the life, health and happiness of man.
When it is disturbed in its proper
action, all kinds of ailments are the

the action of the brain and nervous
system, are all Immediately connected
with the workings OF the Liver.

The Outlook.

Ono of the last acts of Grants admins
tration was to acknowledge that federal
interference in the south had been failure,
and in his refusal to interfere in behalf Of
Packard and Chamberlain as against
Nichols and Hampton. Mr.. Hayes at the
very outset found himself confronted with
condition Of affairs in those states which
he could not very we'll alter, even if he had
beenso disposed, 1t may have been, and
the testimony being elicted by the Potter
Committee of Investigation goes to show.
that Hayes realized the fact that the logic
of events had carried the southern states
beyond any further carpet bag domination.
and yielding to the necessities of the situ-
alton he sought to avail himself of the de-
sire in Louisiana and South Carolina to
secure their state governments against
further carpet bag rule, to corruptly gam
the presidency by an intrigue which not
only covertly but in express terms granted
the existence and supremacy of the
Nichols and Hampton administration.
The action of Hayes failed, however, tc
carry with him the majority of the party
which had supported him fol-
presidency, and though at the
moment there was little open
opposition, the dissatisfaction was
none the less existent and widely felt. /,
has continued to increase from that time

Making Money.
(Galva Democrat. }


In making answer to statement by the
Union that the constitution makes gold
and silver the money of the country" the
Rock Islander says:
The constitution does nothing OF the Sort 1t says
"Congress shall have power to coin money but II
nowhere says it shall coin 1t OF 'gold and silver "
1t Gays "No state shall make anything but gold
and silver coin tender in payment of debts," but
the constitution nowhere forbids congress from
making money out of anything it pleases, or max
ing anything 1t pleases legal tender.
Editor Danforth must feel strangely pro-
mitigating such a doctrine as that after
being engaged for two score years in
teaching sentiments directly the reverse of
those expressed and implied above. We

stitution which declares that "the powers

The Bottom Of The Ocean.

Mr.. Green, the famous diver, tells
singular stories of his adventures when
making sketches of what he saw on the
silver banLs, rear Hayti:
The banks of the coral on which my
divings we're made are about forty miles
in length, and from ten TO twenty in
breadth On this bank of coral is pre-
sented to the diver one of the most
beautiful and sublime scenes the eye ever
beheld. The water varies fIom ten to
one hundred feet in depth, and is 60
clear that the diver can see from two to
three hundred feet while submerged,
with little obstruction TO the sight.
The bottom OF the ocean in many
places on these banks is as smooth as a
marble fOeI; In others it is studded
with coral columns, from ten 10 one
hundred feet IN height, and from one to
eight feet in diameter The tops of the
more lofty support myriad of Py ramid-
icaI pendants, each forming a myriad
more, giving the realty to the imaginary
abode Of some water nymph. In other
places the pendants form arch after arch.
and as the diver stands on the bottom
of the ocean and gazes through those into
the deep, winding avenues, he feels that
they fill him with as deep an awe as ifhe
were in some old cathedral which had
long been buried beneath cold oceans
wave" Here and there the coral ex-
tends even to the surface of the water,
as if those loftier columns were towers
belonging to those stately temples now in
ruins.
There were countless varieties of di-
minutive trees, shrubs, and plants, in
every crevice of the coral, where the
water had deposited the least earth.
They were all of faint hue, owing to
the pale light they received, although of
every shade, aud entirely different from
plants l am familiar with that vegetate
on dry land. One in particular attracted
my attention; it resembled a sea-fan of
immerse size. of variegated cOlOrs, and
of the most brilliant hue.
The fish which inhabit those banks
found az different in kind as the scenery
was varied. They were of all forms,
colors, and sizes, from the symmetrical
goby to the globe-like sunfish; from
those of the dullest hue to the change
able dolphin; from the spots of the 1eOp-
ard to the hues of the sunbeam; from the
harm. ess miDnow to the voTacious shark.
Some had heads like squirrels, others
like cats and dogs; one of the small size
Iesembled a bull-terrier. Some darted
through the water like meteors, while
others could scarcely be seen to move.

A NEGRO stepped up to a lunch
counter and called for a cup of coffee.
A Caucasian standing beside him OBJ
jected to the presence of the negro at the
counter. They quarreled, and the white
man snatched up a sandwich and hurled
it at the Africans head. 1t fractured
the mans skull and killed him instantly.
The murderer was arrested, and his only
defense was that he didn't know it was
loaded" These lunch counter sand
witches are terrible weapons, and thestate
