The House of Representatives O,

The House of Representatives on
NJ onday adopted a resolution to APP
point committee, to sit during the
recess of Congress, to investigate
the causes of the present depressed
condition of labor and industry, and
to recommend remedies therefor.
They have big job on hand, and as
regards the conclusions to be arriv~
ed at, it will depend altogether on
the peculiar prejudices or proclivi-
ties of the committeeman. Should
they be political Greenbackers, they
would absurdly report that short
age of currency is the cause, and ILL.,
imitable issues of irredeemable pa
per money the remedy should they
be Socialists, they would report that
the fact that some people are more
fortunate than others is the cause.
and that an impossible leveling pro-
cess, by which everybody who has
something shall be compelled to di-
vide it all with those who have moth
ing, is the remedy. But, Oh the
other hand, should the committee
be wisely constituted-not of ignor-
amuses and blatherskites, but ofmen
of brains and solid sense, good might
come OF it. The probability is, how
ever, that before congress shall re-
assemble next Winter, the "Hard
times" will in great measure have
disappeared, and that nobody will
then care what caused them.- Chi

Minister Noyes Explaines.

New York, June Is.
Hon. E. f. Noyes, u. S. Minister
to France, arrived in this city last
night by the steamer City of Rich
mond. General Noyes was met on
landing by General Knapp. who was
Adjutant General of Ohio during his
gubernatorial term, and by several
other friends. In conversation with
representative of the Associated
Press, touching the matter that
brought him back at this time, Minis.
ter Noyes said: 81 went to Florida
for no purpose on earth, except to as
certain the vote of the State, and to
see whether or not the popular vote
had been cast for the Republican
electors. stated to the two Repub-
lican members Of the Canvassing

cific, as it would perhaps be in bad
taste, considering that | am soon to
give my sworn statement" In the
course OF further conversation, Minis
ter Noyes said that while he did not
care at this time to be interviewed, he
had nothing whatever to conceal; he
also expressed the hope that every
politician in the North, whether Dem
ocrat or Republican, who had visited
Florida on this business would be
subpgnaed, as that would be only fair
TO all parties concerned or interested
in the matter. 1t was certainly due
to him, since he had been SO conspic
uously named in Potter's resolution.

We alluded, several days ago, to
tae fact that three Democratic treas
urers, Traynor, Ehlers, and Senior,
representing the three strongly Dem.
ooratic counties of Dodge, Milwau-
kee and Washington, had proved
defaulters to the aggregate amount
OF $4,000. The Fond du Lac Com
naonaoeatth adds to the list the name
of Maurice McKenna, of Fond du
Lac county, whom it reports as de-
faulter to the amount of S., 900. The
Oshkosh Northeastern recalls the
fact of defalcations by Democratic
treasurer of Brown county and o
Democratic treasurer of Green Bay,
amounting to $50, 600 or more. That
is pretty fair showing for five coun-
ties, and must suggest to the dullest
mind the superior honesty of the
Democratic party, and the great
need there is for the universal prev
alence of democratic principles"
and democratic reform" What
might de done if there were only
Democratic treasurer in every coun-
ty / Wisconsin.

The Art of Prolonglng Life.

People generally desire long life and good
health. Sickness and premature death are
almost always due to violation of the laws that
govern our physical being, and of which the
masses are ignorant. If men knew better they
would do better; but how can they avoid an
evil that they know not of? While efforts are
made through tho public sClIovls TO give each
child a so-called common English education,
yet the children are permitted to grow up and
enter upon the responsible duties of active life,
profoundly ignorant of the structure of their
own bodies, and the laws of physical being up
on which their health and lives depend They
are sent to school and crammed with arithme-
tic, grammar, and geography, by teachers who,
in many instances, have never studied physiol-
ogy and hygiene. They are taught to locate
the mountains and trace the rivers of foreign
countries, but are never taught to locate the
vital organs and glands of their own bodies,or
to trace the veins, arteries and nerves, in their
various ramfcations. They are instructed in
the flow of the tides, and the course of the
ocean currents, and the philosophy of winds
and storms but they have no correct concep-
ton of the relative effects upon their health of
breathing pure or impure air, nor has their
attention ever been called to the Importance
of keeping their bodies clean and healthy by
regular bathing. The criminality of such neg
iect IN teaching becomes apparent wnen we
consider that the masses, ignorantly violating
the laws OF health, bring upon themselves
suffering and death, that might 9TH
erwise be avoided. In this condition ofthings
we welcome into being any work that IS cal
culated to impair 10 the masses knowledge
of the structure o. heir own bodies, the laws
of health, and the Importance of observing
those laws. We find DIR. Pierce's Common
Sense Medical Adviser to be just such work.
1t is physiological and pathological, and the
major part of it should be converted into a
text book for the use of common schools Its
careful study will enable the healthy to pre-
serve their health, and the sickly to regain
health Every parent should read it, and as
their children become of proper age instruct
them in the all-important truths it contains, |
We're this done, much suffering and premature
death would be prevented, and many youth
saved from a life of shame and Righteousness |
The book contains nearly one thousand pages,
is profusely illustrated with colored plates and |
wood-engravings, and can be had by address

Healthy Influence Of an Aroused
Public Sentiment.

The revolutionists in the house OF
representatives have already come to
grief Some weeks ago they passed q
resolution by $50 votes, or only lack
ing two of majority of full house,
ordering an investigation into the
presidential election Of 1876, which
tended so clearly to impair the title
of Hayes and Wheeler that it excited
profound alarm throughout the land.
Every business interest felt that il
was touched at the vitles by this
attempt to Mexicanize our institutions
and at once arose in all sections of
the republic in opposition. This
uprising created such q fame of
indignation that the Democratic
representatives, have been compelled to
quail and come down, and the reso-
luton of Mr.. Burchard, of Illinois.
declaring that this or any subsequent
congress could not impair the presi-
Dental title of r. B. Hayes, and that
any attempt in that direction was
revolutionary, and met with the
disapproval OF the house, was carried
by an emphatic vote of nearly ten
to one-215 yeas to 81 nays. Among
the nays were Bragg, of Wisconsin,,
and Hewitt, Of New York, TiIden's
right bower.
subsequently the house committee
on judiciary reported similar re.
solution, but not worded quite so
strong as Burchard's. That was car
ried by the still more decisive vote
of ga ayes and IA nays, Bragg and
Hewitt not daring to vote nay. Black
burn, of Kentucky, Cox, of New
York, and Springer, of Illinois, Lead
ing Democrats, are recorded among
the nays, thus showing that if party
tactics required they would not
hesitate to introduce the Mexican
revolutionary element into our DO
litical system
We record this expression of the
mouse OF representatives, as an evI-
dence that the people are practical
and full OF common sense, and that
even the most partisan representa-.
tives are compelled to listen to their
voice when it is uttered with no nm.
certain sound. The expression will
exert good effect in producing feel
ing OF stability and tranquility among
all business interests, and thus tend
to encourage industrial enterprises.--

the article of ] A. Coombs, ESQ.,, and
also, remarks by the Editor in q
former number. upon the sale, by
certain r. Il, Cos. of lands in Ne
braska and northern Kansas to which
they have no valid title. That cases
of the kind have existed, and do ex-
list, there lie no doubt, and those re-
marks should be warning to all
persons wishing to purchase land in
the West, to have nothing to do
with foreign agents, in the purchase
OF land. IL is usually the case when
people come to Kansas or Nebraska,
as it was with Mr.. Oliver aud Mr..
Coombs. They are delighted with
the appearance of the country, and
they want a chunk of it right off.
No inquiry about the sale or title, no

But TO buy land, or contract for it, of
agents at distance without seeing
it and learning the character of soil,
and condition OF title, | should think
entirely too fast. But with ordin-
airy discretion. | think there ia no
need of any one being swindled by
the r. r. Co.'S. However, if there
are those too cautious to buv land in
the district referred to, who wish to
come West, | wiIliaviter them to
visit Southern Kansas where the
people have settled the land question
with the r. Il. Cos. through the
courts, years ago, and the title is
now no longer questioned. | do not
puff this country, nor blow for any,
body, but, simply invite all good cit
liens to come and see, and if pleased
with the country buy homes that are
not plastered with mortgages, and
then go to work with honest hands
and fear no evil. With the excep
ton of the month of April, it has
been very wet since last November,
and is still raining. Our wheat crop
has been injured considerably, and
most likely much Of it will be more,
for there are thousands of acres
now dead ripe and no hope of get
ting into the fields with machine
for some days yet. | will send you
