SiXth-Ihe revolutionary movement
under cover of Investigation,
but really as an attack upon the Presi-
dents title, calculated as it is to Mexican-
ize the affairs of this country, to cause
general distrust, to PROSTATE our indus
tries and aggravate and prolong the dis
tresS of labOring and industrial classes.
we unqualifedly condemn. President
Hayes having been duly elected, and his
title subsequently settled under the Con-
stitution, by the highest tribunal and by
the act of both political parties, it can not
be questioned; and we recognize in his
administration the highest integrity and
patriotism; the most sincere effort to pro-
mote political purity and harmony, and
to rescue general business prosperity
throughout the whole country.
Seventh-The present Legislature is a
warning to the people of the State, and a
proof of the dangerous character of the
Democratic party. The majority of that
body, in an unusually long session, pass
ed no laws for the benefit of the people OF
the State, but they revolutionized every
State institution to make places for Demo
cratic paFtisans. They subordinated the
welfare of the insane, the blind, the mute
and the orphans to the interests of the
Democratic party.
Eighth-Hhe Constitution having never
contemplated more than one Congress
sional districting of the State during {
term of ten years between the taking OF
| the censuses, we condemn the recent out
| rageous and unjust redistricting of thC
State by the Legislature, in violation O.
usage, and at the dictation of Speaker
Randall, by which. on the basis of the
vote of the last Presidential election
| when majority of the votes was Repub
lican, the Democrats would be enabled tt
carry fourteen out of twenty Congress
men.

Had the pen of ready writer, such as
is welded by EtIren8us," 1 think my first

refer to the prominence given even
by what is called the respectable press
to all the scandals and immoralities of the
day. With what sickening minuteness
does the modern reporter rake over and
bring to the surface and spread before his
readers every morning the filth of the
wicked dOings of such a Sodom as New
York. And with what sensational and
catching headings is the attention of our
sons and daughters drawn to these impure
"pictures of life.'' Take, for example,
my daily paper of this morning, and it is
only fair average sample of the kind of
literature to be found in any of the daily
papers. Let me copy the titles of some of
its news items: s''Intidelity and Murder;"
''The Heuser Outrage Mystery;'' ga De-
ceptive Servant Girl - ''The Jersey City
Murder;'' Romance of a Fast Young
Man, stDavid Elbrich's- Wife Eliza .
GA Case of Brother-in-law - Chow Mrs.
Kimpton eluded a Detective" And then
the private history of the principal char
acters in each particular drama is gone
into in detail, especially if there is any
thing of an immoral nature to be shown
up. Why this minuteness? Is not the
bare recital of the facts sufficient without
the establishment of the reporters ex-
uberant imaginationP 1t is simply pan
dering to the depraved tastes of the peo-
pie, and creating a thirst for unhealthy
literature in the hearts of the young.
This style of light reading is of quite. re-
cent growth, and, before it takes deep
root earnestly impIore you, Messrs.
Editors, in the name of all that is ''honest
and true and pure and of good report, to
think on these things" and lend the aid
of your powerful advocacy to eradicate
the evil. Yours respectfully,

since April, 1872. The tumor grew very,
rapidly and caused her great alarm.
She had been using a great many differ

it still continued to grow. She called on
me and gave her the bottle of Lacupia

swelling was going down and the pain

was surprised to find her well in so short
time. Lacupia is certainly a great rem

Diseases of the Scalp, OF Pityriasis.
Letter from E. t. Murray, Esq, Trenton,
New jersey

New Jersey.
1 was over 16 years affected with ads
ease of the scalp. The doctors called it
Pityriasis. 1t was constant annoyance
to me, being not only confined to my
head, but often spread over other parts Of
my body. 1t commenced by a scalv sub
stance, resembling dandruf, gathering
at the roots of the hair. On removing
this scaly substance the skin appeared as
though it was infiamed, and the spot was
soon covered with new crop like the
first. Often kind of scab would form
which sometimes extended down over my
forehead. l tried great many remedies
for it, and went to New York and con-
suited a prominent physician there. He
prescribed for me, and told me the only
remedy that would ever do me any good
would be one that would remove the dis
ease from my blood. Ispoke to him of
your Lacupia, as L had seen it advertised
He said should try his remedy, and if it
did not cure should then try the Lacu-
pia. l used his medicine, bat it did no
good, and concluded to buy bottle of
Lacupia. used it according to the di-
rections, and soon found that the scales
were drying up and the dandruff depos-
It's stopped forming, and after the sixth
bottle am happy to say that my head
was clean and well. 1 can with pleasure
recommend your Lacupia as being a val
liable medicine.

What the Doctors say of Laoupia.
sCROFULA.

OC4SOG ~ AA1As
The following letter is from A. X. Ro-
berts, NJ. D., Philadelphia, Pa:
The Lacupia is a most valuable remedy
and the best have ever used for Scrofula
and diseases of ascrofulOus nature. Ihave
lately had under treatment a little girl,
Fannie A., aged five years. For the last
three years she has been suffering from
very sore eyes; was scarcely able to see
anything, the light causing great pain,
the lids were often glued shut with mat
ter. She had quite a number of hard
Jumps on the sides of the neck, the glands
being swollen, some of which We're open
and discharging pus. The child was very
weak and pale, lost all appetite, and was
rapidly sinking. prescribed your La
cupia, did noC allow her to eat greasy
food. In short time the sores in the
neck stopped discharging and were soon
healed. The eyes soon got well, and she
was enabled to bear the light and see per-
fectly. l told her parents to use the La
cupia even after the eyes and the sores
had got we'll, so as to purify the blood,
but being poor, they stopped the Lacupia
too soon, and being exposed to all kinds
of pFivations, the disease showed symp-
toms of returning. Her father then got
bottle of Sarsaparilla and Iron, but it
did no good. I was called again to see
her, and at my own expense bought her

She had been suffering with it for thir
teen years. After six months treatmen
with the Laeupia the ulcer was healed

Attention Veterans

The people of the great State of Ohio
had kindly provided home for the chll-
dren of those of her gallant sons VINO
,,,av,t to the rescue of our Government
,,bep traitors sought to destroy it, and
orr soldiers' and Sailors Orphans Home
,vas nointed to as one of the most substan-
tfal evidences of the patriotism and kind
ness of a grateful people. But the same
spirit, in the same party that opposed its
establishment in the first place, found it
self in the aseendency in the Legislature
last winter, and an act known as the in
famous O'ConnOr law was passed, which
virtually wipes out the home thus pro-
vided for your children.
1. This law provides that none but the
children of men who died while in the
service, or who have since died of wounds
or of disease contracted while in the line
of duty of such service, shall be admitted
to said home, while the old law provides
that the children of all deceased, INDECENT
and permanently disabled soldiers and sail
ors should be received.
2. That no child can be received while
the mother is alive, under the age of II
years. Or, in other words, after the
mother has struggled along and support
ed her child until it is capable of assist
ing her in providing living for herself,
this law kindly proposes to take it off heI
hands.
8. If man is so unfortunate as not tC
be on the pension rolls of the Govern
ment, his children, no matter how pOOl
and destitute they may be, are excluded
from the Home by this cruel and outrage
Gus law.
4. No child will be admitted unless thu
guardian or mother agrees to pay to the
Trustees the money received as a pension
on account of the death of its father
That is, the State of Ohio will meanly
rob the poor widow of the little mite sht
so much needs to buy bread for herself
under the pretense of charity to he
child, after that child is old enough tx
earn its own living.
Now remember, comrades, that thi
outrage was conceived by the notoriou
John O'Conner, who was not only a de
serter and a bounty-jumper, but an ex
J penitentiary convict, and that it wa
passed by the unanimous vote of tn
Democratic members Of the present Leg
islature at its last session. In it you Sc
, cropping out the same old COpperhea
spirit with which you had to contend a
, every step during the war.
But we will give you the old law an
! the new, that you may estimate this Out
: rage for yourselves, and determine whett
? Sy,f ~
terests of your children in such infamou!
ly treacherous hands. We quote as niue
t of the two laws as bears upon the impol
4 tant points alluded to above:
