An Insult to Decency.

The making of the Capitol of the United

sentiments that prevails among temperance

in, drink, carouse, befuddle each others
ideas, demoralIze legislation, debauch just
ice and make themselves and others indie
Gently drunk.
These political bar rooms are kept up by
men who swarm about Congress, spending
money in liquor to infiame the minds o
men they operate with. The practice S {

after the stone work was completed before
they got the bridge on the ground ready to

and a majority over the Republicans in
twenty-one counties, and in Webster coun-

upon the street corners, and tramps went
not from door to door. The soldiers boys
came home, and resumed their various pur-

all channels of business. In September,
1865, il official reports are to be relied up
on, the volume of circulating medium was

They could not bear to see the masses pros

has paralyzed commerce, driven merchants
and manufacturers into bankruptcy and
ruin, and brought the working classes to
poverty, to crime, to destitution and to
starvation. The circulating medium in
1865 had been cut off from both ends and
sliced out from the center urtil twelve years

ror THB PREss.
IL seems that some one near Somerset
takes great interest in the welfare Of Bob
Sanders, and tries to get the people Of this
County to think that Bob managed his
work well and did good job Of stone work,
and that he did not get the right measure
ment. Now il is only waste of time and
material in trying to accomplish that
which 10 impossible for the citizens Of
Somerset and vicinity know very we'll that
he could have managed Il better, put up 9
better Job and that he received full pay.
What does that correspondent of the Her.
aid know about old rule of measuring
stone work? Bob was too drunk when
the work was measured, and that correspon-
dent was not much better. He also says
that Bob took the work at too low mar
gin 10 make himself safe and that he would
be likely TO lose money. He did not take
Il too low, neither did he lose anything on
the lob, but some Of the hands lost over
SIS. others $50, others from 81 TO $25. Now
Bob is an shonest lad, but who can be-
lieye IL. At the fnalI settlement Mr..
Bob drew 5000 and paid Gallagher and
Davis $28 Of what was due them for labor
and board, yet he Isl fine fellow as long as
he will furnish the drinks for that corre-
spsndent. You Mr.. Correspondent Of the
