Lock the Door Now

The New York Express commenting up
on the determination of the republicans in
congress to retain the power to use the
federal troops at the polls says, I'VE do
not know that an attempt will be made to
steal the horse. But we do know that
horse was stolen in 1876. and the thieves
are at large, and have their eyes on the
stall; aud the only safe thing is to lock the
stable door before it is too late 10 do auy
good" What they have done once there
is every reason to believe they will attempt
again. Does Hayes expect to fool the
people into a state of security by saying
that he does not believe il is lawful to use
troops at the polls and by promising that
he will not do it, that it is wrong to steal
horses and that he won't steal? Every
body knows that his party does not know
how to walk and that all his appearance of
honesty is that the stable door will nos be
locked. Oh, mol Mr.. Hayes, we feel a
great deal more secure with the door
locked and bolted. We lost q valuable
horse once and TO loose another would be
to 60 on foot the balance of our lives. 1t
is not at all likely that party that resor-
TED to the. basest frauds to carry elections
In 1876 and 1873 will scruple to use force

men they are. They cannot be trusted

ssaator Davis Response.

The following is the letter OF Senator
David Davis 10 response to the resolution
passed by the dem ocrats of the 3lst gen.
eral assembly:
UNITED STATEs SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, May II, 1879.
GENTLEMEN: have had the honor to
receive your letter of the Sd instant cover
ing resolutions of "a Joint caucus of the
democratic members of the general assem-
bly, of the state of Illinois" 1t is hardly
necessary Cor me to say, that am 10 favor
of the perfect freedom of elections, from
the interference or the presence of any
part OF the army at the polls, because that
opinion was emphatically expressed on the
floor of the senate.
This IS a government of civil authority,
founded on the constitution and the laws
made in pursuance thereof. One of the
grievances Of which our forefathers COM
planned was that the king had quartered
troops on them and sought by military
power TO coerce them into submission.
1t is little less than public scandal,
after century of national existence, that
any party could venture to ask the peoples
approval of series of tyranny that is for.
hidden in England aud wherever else the
parliamentary principle is respected.
Very truly,
DAVID DAVIS.

Why Submit to the Discomfort, and
humiliation entailed by local disease
of the skin, when GLENNs SULPHUR
SOAP will rid you of it with certainty
and despatch? 1t is remedy which
never fails to relieve cutaneous disease
and, as means of banishing defects OF
the complexion. it is equally reliable.
The Benefits arising from the use of
Sulphur Baths, in cases of skin disease,
and of rheumatism and govt, are well
Known. but the cost is too heavy to
be incurred by many persons who
would otherwise take advantage of
them. GLENN's SULPHUR Soar answers
the same purpose, and is both ineXpen-
sive and convenient. No one need stir
abroad In search Of sulphur bath who
has this admillirable means of prOvid-
ing one indoors. 1t is incOmparably
the best deodorizer and disinfectant of
clothing and bed linen in use, and pre-
vents diseases of an obnoxious nature
caused by contact. Sores. ulcers,
bruises, soalds. cuts, and sprains are
promptly remedied by it; and its clean
| ly. healing and soothing properties
constitute it far more desirable RENE
dy for scOrbutic ailment than ointment
of any description, since such greasy
compounds soil the clothing, often ag-
gravate, and very rarely indeed do any
permanent good.
