Post Once Editors.


This class Of editors are just now sorely
troubled. For years they have ibesn in
the majority and believed in the divine
right Of maiorities to make and unmake
laws, and any OPPOSITION from the minority
was promptly met with the cry sof cop
perhead" and I''traitor." They INDUCED
sometimes, in lofty ideas lof constitutional
liberty and gloried in the wisdom Of num-
bers. Under sixteensyears of such teach
ing it may well be supposed the American
people would be competent to conduct theil
elections without the aid of federal soldiers
and that they had SO engrafted the love o.
freedom and Of fair counts into the Amer
can people that they could do with
out the dictation Of federal super
visors and deputy marshals. Doe
this wild cry of revolution" whicl
comes up from all these posto-fic
editors mean that their lofty ideas an
boasts Of the prevalence of God an
morality in their party have all been j
vain2 Surely when the people deman
these things, these post-of6ce editor
instead of crying out against them, should
the first to say YES, Yes 1t is the n
suit of our teachings.

The friends-and they are legion--of
William R. Morrison, one OF the ablest
men In the House of Representatives, will
regret that that gentleman's name has
been placed SO far down the list Of COM
mittees by Speaker Randall; though his

Department. will probably be afforded
opportunities for Distinguishing itself in
keeping an eye or John Sherman; and
Bob Morrison's optics are said to be good

This placing of Morrison's name $50
far down the list, is not unintentional or
the part of Speaker Randall. In taking
Mr.. Morrison from the committee where
he was placed by Speaker Kerr, sand il
ignoring Mr.. Morrison as far as possible
since that time, is an insult to the greAI

Some very curious examples of spontane-
Gus combustion were recently brought to
the notice of the Academy of Sciences,
Paris. NJ. Cosson, the eminent bOtanist,
mentioned that few days previously the
floor OF his laboratory spontaneously took
fire. a year before the flooring around
the aperture of the hue which heats his
laboratory took FIRE. He then removed
FLEETWOOD and surrounded this aperture
with marble This year the wood around
the marble took FIRE. This is all the
more remarkable because the hot air from
these hues is rarely of a temperature above
40 or so degrees cent, and it req uires a
temperature of 200 degrees cent. to pro-
duce even q superficial carbonizatiou Of
wood. The phenomenon is due to another
cause. Wood constantly heated dries and
undergroes a change of structure at com.
parRtively low temperature. In this
change of structure its pores dIlate, and
rapidly absorb the oxygen of the air. This
condensation of oxygen raised the tempe.
nature; the wood slowly carbOnizes, assumes
somewhat the structure of Ignite and may
instantly burst forth into flames as Goa
does. NJ. Dumas took the floor after Nj
Cosson and stated that one frequent cause
OF confagratlODs in theatres is the tendency
of rags stained with oil TO burst sponta-
neously into flames. He mentioned thai
an artist, after rubbing a canvas severa
times with rag saturated with oil, threw
the rag from him; the rag took FIRE in it.
flight and fell all in flames on the
floor. 1t is notorious that old can
non-balls which have remained long under
water grow hot sometimes when brough
to the surface. Cast-iron cannons fsheC
from the sea after prolonged immersion
have been known to become red no
when exposed to the air. The water ha
rusted the metal; the rust makes tht
metal porous and it rapidly absorbs Oxy
gen Of the air, and enters into spontaneous
combustion,

Immediately to some druggist and get a
bottle of ''HALE's HONEY OF HoREHoUND
AND TAR" an article which, we under
stand, was used for years in the private
practice of DR.. HALE, celebrated physi-
clan of Europe, to the entire satisfaction
of his patients. This article, we under
stand, is now manufactured, according to
the original recipe, by G. n. CRITTENToN
of No. Sixth avenue, New York, who is
now sole owner and proprietor, he having
paid very large amount of money for the
right of same, and from what we hear he
is selling very large quantities. In fact,
he has had to enlarge his laboratory and
increase his help to supply the constantly
increasing demand, which is good evidence
of how the article is appreciated. Every
mother is we'll aware of the medical quail
ties of HONEY and HoRERoUND in sooth-
ing and scattering all irritations and infa-
nations, and that the TAR BALM cleanSe'
and heals the throat and air passages lead
ing to the lungs. FiUe additional ingre,
dents in this article keep the organs cool

vice is. let no prejudice keep you from
trying this medicine of a famous doctor
who has saved thousands of lives with il
in his large private practice. 1t is sold BY
