A Word to Clergymen.

Friend stop that cough DO not neglect com
mon cold even for day. II may end in consump
ton and death. REV. y. II. DOWNS ELIXIR has
cured thousands, both old and young; and ii will
cure you, if taken freely and in season. This
ELIXIR has been before the American people
forty six years, and has never failed to give relief
to all who have used it. II has won It's way by
actual service, until it has become n household
friend in thousands of our best families Regular
physicians use and recommend it. Clergymen
and all public speakers are its best patrons. Rail
road employees, much exposed to colds, coughs
merchants and everybody, old and young, speak
highly in its praise.

The passage of tho Silver bill has
made II new vault necessary in the
Treasury Department, and Congress is
asked to vote $4,000 for this purpose.
Secretary Sherman has decided TO pay
no salaries in silver dollara until there
are enough coined TO pay all alike,
without discrimination. lie has also
decided TO Use none in payment of the
interest on the public debt until enough
silver is coined TO enable him to do Sc
impariially. The silver certificates
will soon be ready for use; they are
engraved in the form and style of bank
notes, and are TO be printed on bank.

UF Secretary Sherman thus states
what is the trouble in this country, in a
letter TO a friend in Canton, Ohio:
"Thc extract which YOU quote from
kcllcy's speech Chat there were $780,
100000 of grcenbacks to redeem, and
only S65,000,000 in gold TO redeem
them WITH is but n part of the dia-
tribes which such men MS Kelley have
used TO excite the popular mind and
create a war between capital and labor.
The amount of United States notes to
be redeemed is less than $3.50, OO0, 900.
of which more than 100000, 900 are
constantly in the Treasury in some
form. Tho sos .00O, 900 available are
now nearly 90.000.0 200, with some
months further 10 accumulate. The
Silver bill, in one respect, makes
resumption easier by broadening the
basis of coin resumption. What is
driving the people to pauporism, etc,
is the insane warfare upon capital,
which DESTROYS confidence, and pre-
vents prudent men from embarking in
new enterprises. Could any one
expect sensible people, having property
or money, 10 embark il in the hazards
of trade in the face of such appeals as
are now quite common, and of which
this is a specimen? At this moment
our country is moro prosperous than
any in the world, though many arc idle
and ont Of employment. What is need
ed most is confidence in the stability of
values, and this can only be secured by
a resumption of payment in coin.
There is more sense in the above
than can be found in all the speeches OF
the whole crazy silver and initiation
crew in Congress during the present
session.

this way:
Some Of the oldest inhabitants are
scratching away hard at their heads TO
try and remember a winter like the one
just closed The hair comes, but the
recollection does not. One very
remarkable feature of the past winter
was that we did not have one day of
clustering. snowy weather, and spring
comes not with the roar of the tradi-
tional lion of our fathers, nor the whis-
tie and jerk of the average mothcr-in-

steals into your unlocked doors and
meekly searches for the doughnut jar

I8r There is much foolish criticism of
President Hayes, because of his inabil-
ity to control legislation, as shown by
the futility of his veto of the Silver bill.
1t is said he has no influence. Now,
President Hayes is either in the right
or he is in the wrong on any given
measure. His civil service reform
views have the cordial approval of the
people. His silver veto message was a
ringing plea for simple honor and hon
esty in the relations ofthe United States
10 its creditors. The entire demeanor
of President Hayes since his election
has been that of Il man devOting him
self to his duty, and to the carrying out
of measures which are for the good of
the country. That he has not succeeded
is not his fault. The sole difficulty is
that Congress has set itself against him.
The Congressman does not want civil
service reform. lie wishes TO retain the
patronage of his district for selfish ends
The president has undertaken TO break
up this universal prostitution of the civ,
il service. Subjected to the cajolery and
Aattery of Congressman to whom civi
service reform is but joke, or mean
ingless abstraction TO put into politica
platforms to catch votes, the presiden
has shown comprehension OF the grea
evils of our politics that could not b.
Outwitted. His firmness has enrageC
those who have sought by force an,
threats to bend him to their ends. tn,
consequence is that the position of Con
gress TO the president is one of absolut,
hostility. And the great journals al
over the land, Influenced by Congress
men or corrupt politicians, are dcclaim
ing against him and trying to put hin

RThe Congressional Record is a
fine institution. The issue for March 3
contains the speech of Hon. r. 7. Crit
tenden, of Missouri, in the House of
Representatives, Thursday, February
%, 1873, on the veto of the silver bill.
This speech abounds in extracts from
the New York daiies, printed March l.,
the day after the Hon. Crttenden's
speech was delivered. Just because of
this remarkable instance of foresight
on the part of the Hon. Crittenden,
some persons will insist that the Hon.
Crittenden had no remarks prepared
when he obtained "leave to print the
speech he was bursting to deliver, but
waited until he could get some ideas
from the newspapers before writing it..
This opinion may be mistake, but
nevertheless, All overburdened people
would like to see the Record confined
to the publication of remarks really
made.

IF An exchange says that petition
is circulating in Bristol for the pardon
of John Ring, sentenced by Judge Pier
point, in 1871, to state prison for eleven
years, for the murder of Noah Thomp-
son. 1t seems hardly possible that the
people of Bristol can desire the pardon
and the presence among them once more
of man of Rings character. The skill
of his counsel alone saved him from the
gallows, and the testimony at the trial
showed plainly that he was dangerous
man to have in the community. A par
don for Ring is simply premium on
murder.
Since the above was written, the Rut-
land Herald and Globe has published
an earnest and vigorous protest against
the pardon of Ring. 1t says:
There was no moral doubt that Ring
committed murder, that he intended
from the very inception of the quarrel to
kill Thompson, and nothing, as we have
said, but the skill and tenacity of his
counsel, Hon. K. j. Phelps, saved him
from the gallows. TO pardon such a
desperate before his time is up would
be folly, for his punishment at best
seemed inadequate to his offense, and he
is about as comfortable and reas-
surfing ncighbor as Bengal tiger
would be to Hindoo mother and a
large family of careless children. Ring
from youth up was man of ferocious
and vindictive spirit, and we earnestly
hope the humanity of Governor Fair
banks will not get the better of his
judgment.
