1t is proposed that the govern
ors of the thirteen original States
shall meet at independence hall in
Philadelphia, October Is and IL
next to arrange a plan for celebrat-
ing the centennial of the surren-
der at Yorktown. The surren-
der took place October 10, 1871, so
that there is time to prepare for its
commemoration in fitting manner.
Il would seem that some of the
other States might profitably be
invited to share in the festivities
as they certainly have an equal in
heritance.

Gen. Walker, superintendent OF
Census, will have the census dis
tricts defined on or about the 18th
day of October. The appointment
Of supervisors and other officers
will not be made, however, until
after the meeting of congress, and
probably not until after the holiday
recess, as it is the desire of the
superintendent to consult with con-
gressmen before making these ap'
pointments.

Of respect in the city OF San

gratifying to General Grant by the
fact that they are not intended 10

are the free offering of independ-

effect. The proposed Grant boom
which was projected by shy
politicians and time-servers seVera'

one which he can accept wlthou,

The Political Outlook.

The next Presidential campaign Will
have one important feature-it will vlr-
tually express the peoples verdict upon
the questions at issue between the lead
ing political parties. For behind our
government, behind our politicians, be-
hind all the legislative machinery, rings
and petty partizan organizations, is the
real ruler and director OF our govern
ment-the sovereign people. Every
official will be brought before the IN,
QUESTION of the peoples tribunal, and
all proved unworthy will be ignomini-
Ouslv sent home to tend their farms and
their own business. The people will
endorse nothing whatever, be it a Pres
ident or pill, that has not proved itself
a genuine article. That the American
people have SO long ACKNOWLEDGED, by
both word and patronage, the genuiness
and value of DR.. Pierce's Family Rene
dies, is proof conclusive that their use
fully justiiies their discoverer's claims
for Thorn. No other proprietary medl-
cines sell so largely. The Golden Medi-
cal Discovery is a sovereign remedy for
all scrofulous, blood and skin diseases.
1t has pretty thoroughly superseded the
old-time sarsaparillas. The Favorite
Prescription has no equal as a remedy
for those chronic weaknesses and painful
affections peculiar TO women. Pleasant
