Editor Sentinel and Rspu6iieas-Sir, As
the time is drawing near when the Ropubli-
cans of Junia,a county will have to select a
candidate for Legislature, and as it is i'm
portan. that we should select a candidate
who combines fitness for the position with
personal strength, and knowing DO one who
possesses these qualifications in more en-
inent degree than JoHS s. Gs,rsuL, of
Mifiintown, we ask that his name be an
nounced as candidate for the nomination
for Legislature, at the approaching Primary
Election. In doing this we are aware that
Mr. Graybill has not sought political prefer
ment, but has devoted his time to the care
and management of his private business,
but hope that he will accept. We feel con-
fdent that he can, if nominated, be elected.

What Democracy Has Done. for
the Labofing Man.

Fns5. Before the rebellion, they
held 1000. 900 of laborers in slavery,
thus degrading the whole mass of
laborers in the country.
Second. They refused to pass the
homestead law.
Third. They went to war to per-
petuate slavery.
Fourth. They held that slavery was
the normal condition of the laborer
Fifth They enacted that all dues
to the Government should be paid in
coin, that Government employees
might be paid in superior currency,
leaving only deprecated State cur
rency for the laborer
Sixth They opposed the creation
of a Government currency for all the
people.
Seventh. Since their accession to
power, under the false plea of econ
omy, they have refused appropria-
tions of the peoples money for need
ed improvements, thus depressing
labor in a time of general distress,
while they squandered millions in
pro6tless investigation and payment
of rebel claims
Eighth. They have attempted the
reduction of the tariff, that American
labor might be reduced to competi-
ton with the half-paid labor of for
eign countries.
Ninth. They have refused encour-
agement to commerce, through which
our surplus productions might find a
profitable foreign market
Tenth. They have embarrassed and
retarded the public business by un-
wise reductions of the clerical force
in the Departments.
Eleventh. They have attempted
the reduction of the army below the
actual necessity of the country for
the protection of the frontier settle
ments, and with the view of throw
ing upon an overburdened market an
additional supply of unemployed
laborers.-Ner Republic

KISSING is time-honored practice,
and perhaps will never go out of
fashion; but they got too fond of it
in the Wisconsin Asylum for the Deaf
and Dumb, where the men and women
teachers indulged in it till great in
vestigation has grown out of the
habit. If the men had indulged sim
ply in the court practice of kissing
the hands of the women, there would
have been no investigation, but there
was nothing courtly about it; it was
genuine kissing. lip to lip service.

ACCORDING to the Philadelphia Times
a sensation was created few Sun
days ago, by an enterprising soap
dealer and patent medicine vender
having large number of fans dis
tributed by the innocent sexton
among the congregation of fash
ionable church about the time they
were settling down to their devotion.
Gradually the truth flashed across the
mind of the congregation that the
dealer had come into the church on
Sunday to advertise his soap and
bitters, the advertisement of which
WAS printed in large letters on each
fan. The enterprise spoiled the
whole service, for it put preacher and
congregation in fretful frame of
mind over the indignity that had been
put on them. The question has been
raised whether the flock sinned by
becoming angry at the enterprising
soap and bitters man, and ii they did,
whethsr he is not to a certain degree
responsible for the sin of the provo
cation.
