Nothing I'm II.

Notwithstanding the amount of talk about
project for reOpening the presidential question
we doubt if there is much in it. 1t was given
out with great pOSitiveneSS that Gen. Butler
was to engineer resolution of investigation
in the House concerning corrupt bargains af-
fecting the electoral vote, but he is out in
card making an unqualified denial of the re-
port. He declares further that no person has
communicated to him. nor has he cOmmuni-
Gated TO anybody anything in regard to such a
resolution, and that in fact he knows abso-
lutely nothing about it," Within day or two
it has been stated in the same positive way
that Mr., COnklng is to take the leadership of
this investigation movement in the Senate, but
We suspect that it will not be many hours be-
fore Senator C.. is heard from in a denial
quite as pointed as that made by Gen. Butler.
Hon. Montgomery Blair has, it is true. really
introduced in the Maryland legislature a reso-
luton calling for Congressional enquiry into
President Hayes title, but his movement does
not seem to gain sympathy from any quarter
The press there of all party leanings throw cold
water upon it. The Sun declares that the
general drift of democratic feeling and Opin-
ion is against reOpening the presidential ques-
sion. The Gazette says that Mr.. Blair's me
mortal does not present the only valid rea-
son for demanding reOpening of the electO
raj question, which is that the electoral vote
was falsified, but that unfortunately it is
burdened with the reiteratiOn of stale ru-
mOrS, which. whether they are true or not.
cannot affect the real question at issue, and
with Mr.. Blair'S personal differences which
are rs ridiculous as they are unfOunded.'
The american says that Judge Blair might as
well try his hand as a resurrectiOniSt over the
material grave of Greeley as over the political
grave of Tilden. We have no idea, however.
that Mr.. Blair really expects to eject Mr..
Hayes from the presidential chair. He was all
original Tilden man, and doubtless he is max
ing this move to keep Tiden in front as the
democratic candidate in 1889. The possibility
of making little capital for himself at the
same time in his candidacy for the Maryland
SenatOrShip may have been an additional in
centiye. But the democratic South and West
do not banker particularly for Mr.. Tilden as a
standing candidate for the presidency, aud
they will not be likely to take part i'll any agita-
ton of the question of the legality of Hayes
title merely for TildenS benefit. Nor will the
republican irrecOncilableS be likely to get any
leadership of prominence enough to give them
a standing.
Whatever may be the views of the poll
ticians however, the people of the country
will be likely to make themselves heard in OPP
position to a renewal of the presidential
wrangle, when the business interests of the
country are in their present PROSTATE cOndi-
ton, and demand the thoughtful undivided
attention Of Congress and the Government.
And our public men understand that it will
not be safe TO trifle with this feeling on the
part of their constituents.

RHEUMATISM Is A DISEASE OF THE
BLOOD.

The blood in this disease. is found to contain an
excess OF -fbTfn. VEGETINR acts bv converting
the blood from its diseased condition to healthy
circulation. FEGETINE regulates the bowels
which is very important in this complaint. One bot
tie OF NEGETINE will give relief, but to effect a
permanent cure it must he taken regularly, and
may take several bottles especially in cases of long
standing. VEGETINE is sold by all druggists. Try
it, and your verdict will be the as that of thou

our millionaires are only working for
their board and clothes arc all toilins
for a salary. The rich man is unfor-
tunate to have children, or, what is .
better form Of expression, the children
are unfortunate TO have wealthy
parents. We mean of course, the bows.
for girls are always nice; we like girls
and we hate boys-we mean boys from
fitteen to twenty-five years Of age, and
It Is curious fact that this is just the
age at which girls are most lovsble.
The man who has only money is not
rich, aud those who have no money
may be wealth beyond the dream OF
money kings. While We were writing
there came into our sanctum q vailed
woman. She was Q lady, had seeu
trouble, was in deep affliction. Her
mission was to ask our intervention
that She might get . position in the
Mint. She desired US TO use our in.
fiuence with Superintendent Dodge.
A widow two children, and even in
the recital of her woes the mention of
these two sweet, beautiful girls called
up in her eyes an overflow Of greatful
emotion. Stocks had been her ruin.
Furniture gone; gaunt, hollow-eyed
poverty stood staring her in the face
Alone, unknown and frien dless, there
were none so miserable as she. When
we assured her she was happy wo-
man and would not exchange her situa-
ton with any living creature. she gave
US a look Of Woeful curiosity; and in
reply to our enquiry, If she would ex-
change places with any woman who
was not the mother of her girls. replied
with a resolution and immediate. No,
sir If we do not get her in the Mint
remembering our words she will strug-
gle in better heart, thanking God that
she has loved ones more precious to her
than the wealth of mining shares. If
We were rich as we wish we were: if
Providence would only make the
blunder of hesping riches upon US; if
some fool luck would strike us with
a fortune-say fifty or sixty millions
wouldn't we make all the widows and
orphans happy There should not be
an unhappy old maid nor an unem-
ployed school marin. Every woman
should go into the Mint, if we had to
coin our bullion over every month. We
would give every honest man. who is
willing to work. employment. We
would build technic school for boys.
We would improve the parks, drain
Washerwoman's bay. loan money at
five per cent per annum to aid families
to acquire homesteads. We would
reduce the price of water, gas, meat
and ice by healthful competition, We
would add sixteen pages to the Argo-
naut, put colored cover upon it for
advertisements. and patiently give it
away till all our money was gone. and
the Good Master sent down Elijah's
chariot for Us. And then-well, we
would take our opera glasses up with
US. and from onr safe position on the
golden ramparts look across the impas.
