A Pen Worth EecOmmen ding.

We have been favored with samples
of the celebrated Spencerian Double
Elastic Steel Pens, and after trying
them feel justified in highly com
mending them to our readers. They
are made of the best steel, and by the
most expert workmen in Europe, and
have national reputation for certain
desirable qualities which no other
pens seem to have attained in so
great perfection, among which are
uniform evenness Of point, durability,
hexibility, andquill action. 1t is thus
quite natural that the. Spencerian
should be preferred and used by pro-
fessional penmen, in business colleges,
contingencies, government offices,
public schools, and largely throughout
the country. Indeed, so popular
have they become, that of the "Num-
Der One" alone, as many as eight
millions are sold annually.
The Spencerian Pens may be had,
as rule, from any dealer; but when
not thus obtainable, the proprietors,
Messrs. Ivison, Brakeman, Taylor &
Co., the well-known publishers, 13S
40 Grand Street New York, will
send for trial, samples of each Of the
twenty numbers on receipt of twenty
five cents.

There is dissension in the Demo-
cratic ranks in Congress, on account
of the crazy fnanciers in the party
trying to force the passage of the
Warner silver bill, which becoming
a law would make silver take the en-
tire place of gold and greenbacks.
Senators Bayard andikernan threaten
to leave the finance committee and
back out Of the Democratic pro-
gramme if the party persists in its
dishonest silver policy. The result
will probably be the defeat ofthe bill,
as the Senators are worth more to the
party.

We regret very much that some of
our good Democrats have expressed
an intention TO substitute another
name, for the Legislature, in place of
our excellent candidate, II. NJ. Hun
ter, because, it is alleged he voted for
placing liquor license in the county to
one thousand dollars. Now this is a
mistake. Mr. Hunter being president
ofthe board, was not entitled to vote
infcrs there was a tie, and there being
majority in favor of the measure, he
did not vote at all. We understand,
however, that he was in favor of the
high license, and hcsitatcd not to 20 cx-
press himself. This shows his honesty
and candor. And it is II most com
mcndable feature Of his character; for
we can always know where TO find
him on all public questions. We real
iy think more of Mr.. Hunter than ever
because of his honest strright forward
cousre in this matter. lie will make us
good representative, rnd nndcr ne
circumstances should his name bt
erased from the ticket. Vote Tor Hun.
ter, no matter whether you are allow OF
high license man, for he is us trne ~

we could send to the Legislature.

The Mississippi Plan.

We have very little respect for the
sincerity of those gentlemen who, cry
out against the Mississippi Plan" of
carrying elections, and yet consent to
wear the honors and accept the profits
which resulted from the SUCCESS of that
plan.
a bulldozcr and u ballot-box suffer
is not worse than the man VINO accepts
an office to which he is elected by such
practices, just Us the receiver of stolen
goods is rs base AS the thief. If gen
tlcmen are too virtuous to take part in
elections, they should be too virtuous
to accept office given to them by 9th
or workers. If they honestly disap-
prove of election practices they can
wash their hands of the whole matter,
and in the quiet of private life enjoy
the security won for them by the labor
of others.
We know of such and our suggcs-
ton TO them is to hush up or step out.
