Reliable Testimony.

Where testimonials give the residence OF
the parties it is an easy matter for any per-
son to verify them. Thousands of people
from all parts of the Pacific Coast can and
have expressed the opinion that there is no
other article in the world equal to PHOS-
PHATE SOAP for common toilet use. A
great many people have tested this soap for
skin diseases. Among others we give the
following from parties who have thoroughly
tested PHOSPHATE SOAP:

Some two or three months ago, had boy
about tive years old that had suffered for
year with a severe eruption on the head and
face. caused by teething. The child was in
such misery that it would orten be awakened
out Of sleep by the severe itching. He
would then scratch his head and face until
the blood ran from the scabs. We tried
everything We could find, but nothing
we tried PHOSPHATE SOAP Before we
had used one CAKE, the child's head and face
were entirely healed, and there has been no
appearance Of the disease since.

False Reasoning.

Suppose machine should fail to perform
its work, and the owner, instead of trying to
ascertain the cause of failure and remedy it,
should conclude to run right along, and
argue that as the machine had heretofore
come around all right it would soon be SO
again. If general and permanent break
down ensued, could anybody be blamed but
himselfs Now, precisely this way do people
act and argue when the "human machine"
is cut of order. When the liver is 'torpid"
and bowels constipated every one knows
that DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets
afford prompt and permanent relief. Yet
some guess the machine" will come around
all right, and do nothing. Could any system
of false reasoning be more pernicious! Sup
pose the blood be out of order and there be
pimples, ulcers, or running sores with scrof-
ulous tumors. swellings and general debility,
and those thus affected should refuse to use

guessing that the blood would purify itself,
could anybody be blamed but themselves, If

A Ridiculous Plea.

At the county convention here last
week, there was plea made by some,
perfectly proper in its general applica-
bility-for unity and peace IN the RepuO-
Kcan ranks, but as it looks to US, a
ridiculous and silly one under the cir
cumstances. This plea, for most part,
was made by those who had axes to
grind, and it was evidently done to
impress the audience how virtuous and
loyal they were, so they could more
easily carry their ends. From this the
inference could be drawn that inhar-
mony in our county politics would en-
danger Republican success in the state
and nation.
1t was as much as to say, "unless we
can have our way about the doings
here to-day, we will flare up, and this
fall vote with the Democrats OF
course harmony in the party is desir-
able but who under the sun believes
that any would abandon their party
principles, just because they might
not get their choice in county officers
We repeat, it was a ridiculous plea,
and unworthy of men who believe in
Republicanism. And then again, that
they had come there expecting to follow
the old road-the good old beaten path
of the past, and to be switched off now
would be too bad, for it would create
inharmony, and endanger the success
of the Republican party!
Well, we do declare we are sorry
that there are any Republicans in this
county so tender, and SO easily dis
turbed, as to be thrown out of gear
when anything new chances to come
up! Of course every Republican wor-
thy of the name will vote for Garfield
and Farnham this fall, whatever may
take place regarding county nomina-
tions. AS regards this terrible dread,
that some new feature may appear in
our politics, or anywhere else, to create
inharmOny, and invite destruction, it
is all nonsense! Our greatest trouble
in this county, comes from half doz-
ell machine politicians who want to
rule the roost, and a few respectable,
but tender footed old gentlemen who
are always seeing lions in the way.

We, The People.

There has never been better time
than now, when there is crisis in DO
litical opinion, for every one to study
the significance of the above phrase. 1t
does not mean /, the king, the monarch.
the single ruler, but the sovereign body
of freemen. This voice that speaks
comes not from titled aristocracy. or
hereditary absolutism, but from DOW
er greater than these-that of national
intelligence. Since time immemerial
men have seen the star of liberty in the
east, and have longed to reach it. In
every instance where the people have
had the semblance of liberty, or have
gained any considerable foothold for it.
there has stood the frowning power of
absolntism to discourage it, to beat it
back, and to destroy it.
Free America has fought through fire
and flood to establish and maintain
popular rights, and thus far has been
successful in remarkable degree. But
ever since we have had national con-
stitution, there has been an ugly power
menacing it,-one ready to destroy it,
and to bring the people back into alb
solute political subserviency. This
power is at work to-day, both secretly
and openly, to undermine and DESTROY
our liberties. But fortunately for us,
"We, the people," have thus far been
enabled to maintain the true balance OF
the country. And thus we believe il

all the time. On land fires of unusual
magnitude and severity have been
raging. There is perfect epidemic OF
CONGREGATIONS among the Hunters Point
oil works, rope factories, &c.
Some time ago a brave little boy,
Oswald MorTissey, saved the life of a
baby at great risk of his own life, and
at the expense of great personal suffer
ing, by rushing into a burning building
for the little fellow when strong mon
were running away from the fierce
flames, because he "didn't want the
baby's mother to feel bad" A sub
scription to educate the promising
young specimen of a true American has
been started, George Wilkes, of the
Spirit Of the Times, leading of, from
Paris, where he is staying, with gen
erous amount, which is rapidly growing
to something very considerable. 1t
might be we'll to have every body
throughout the country "chip in" a
penny to help the youthful fellow along,
and then try to beat his record.
l don't often touch on politics, but
piece of gossip has been started that
may have considerable influence on
events this Fall, and it is worth noting.
Strenuous efforts have been made to
keep it quiet, but, like murder, it will
out.
1t is gravely declared that Chester A.
Arthur, the Republican nominee for
Vice President, is ineligible in that he
is an Irishman by birth. This, if true,
and it is stated as an incontrovertible
fact, will make good deal of an upset
in some peoples arrangements. Amer
lea is the only country, so far as
know, where it is held that man must
be horse if he is born in stable, and
that even the child of American born
citizens, if he comes to light in con-
sulate or missionary station abroad,
notwithstanding the American flag may
officially float over him, is debarred
from the inalienable right of every
American born boy to aspire to the
Presidency. 1t seems inconsistent in
view that some of our brightest intel
lects had foreign birth but the best of
native blood, while the third and fourth
generations of some of our settlers are
as much strangers to-day as when their
ancestors first came over. just fancy

Words of Truth and Soberness.

Gen. Woodford told the freemen OF
Vermont that a Republican majority of
10000 in September meant the cleo
ton of Hancock in November; that a
majority of over $4,000 in September
meant the election of Garfield. Gen.
Woodford understands that Vermont,
being the first state to speak, will re-
fleet the popular Judgment. If she
keeps up her Oldtime majorities, the
enemy will be discouraged and sur
render at discretion. If she fails to
falls three or four thousand short of
her usual figures, the fact will tell
against the Republican cause in all the
close states.
Let every Republican in Vermont
come out the first Tuesday in Septem-
Der and vote according to his con-
science and freeman's oath, and we
have no fears as to the result. They
will all vote for FaInham, in that case
but they will not vote for unfit men
for local offices. And if they will only
go to the polls and vote as they wan
to vote, Col. Farnham will have more
than $4,000 majority. But if they keel
away from the polls because they dc
not want to vote for Objectionable loca
candidates, we fear his majority will
fall below those figures.

A New Political Feature.

We notice by the late papers that the
Irishmen in different sections of the
country are denOuncing the Democratic
party, as disappearing American
ideas, and keeping them down and in
the background-as a servile element
for Democratic political purposes. Such
feeling has already been aroused, that
many Irishmen are becoming Republi-
cans, and clubs are being formed in
many places, whereby they can work in
unity and to the best advantage. These
clubs are made up of intelligent men
who are in earnest, and who mean bust
ness. This new feature is, to quite an
extent, being inaugurated by Judge
Morrison of Chicago, Chairman of the
Irish American Association, and who is
at this time making speeches, and tell
ing his brother Irishmen some pretty
plain truths. He says that the Irish
are going to make change, and one
that they want the people to know all
about. The Irish have long enough
been considered as cattle, and he wants
this stigma removed. He knows what
he is talking about, for as an Irishman
he has worked with the Democrats I'M
til everything has become intolerable.
An Irish Republican club has been Or
ganized in Burlington, and recently
they held large meeting there, which
was addressed by Judge Morrison and
Senator Edmunds. We have heard OF
nothing for long time that appears
more sensible than this. We hope our
Irish friends everywhere will take this
matter into serious consideration. 1t is
solid fact that the Irish are seeing
that Democracy is no help to them, but
positive hindrance to progress. They
have only been servants to this party,
and if they stay in it they will never be
anything else. No wonder that Judge
Morrison says his countrymen are con-
sidered, and have been treated as ''cat-
tle." We invite our Irish friends here
and everywhere, to organize Republi-
can clubs among themselves, or vote
that ticket that will recognize theil
manhood and their Intelligence thing
as yet the Democratic party has refused
to do.

Political Drivel.

When party managers get ticket
nominated by questionable means, or
secure the nomination of incompetent
or unfit candidates, their favOrite
method, is to shout the importance to
the "cause" of voting the straight tick
ct. As Mr.. Calvin Morrill, grandilo-
quently expressed it in his post-con-
vention speech last week, ave are APP
preaching one of the most momentOus
contests since any of us have been on
eaIth.n 1t was ever thus. We never
knew the time when bad men were up
for Office but what the pending election
was the most "important" for many
years. And the singular thing about all
this is, the managers by such nonsense
cause many honest and conscientious
men to believe it and to falsify their
freeman's oath and cast votes which
they ever after regret. In the good time
coming, when every intelligent and
conscientious man observes his oath and
votes what he believes to be right re-
CARELESS of ring managers, this will be
changed nor will the "party" be in
jured if it is worth preserving, but rath-
er strengthened by such voting.
Take our own county for instance.
Suppose, just for argument, that unfit
men had been put in nomination. The
Republican cause would gain votes il
every man felt free to go to the polls
and vote as he felt. This way has not
been popular, however, and many per-
sons will probably still dodge the polls.
Some will be very busy harvesting.
Others will be i'll !; while perhaps some
others will necessarily (q) be called out
of town. Perhaps there is not Repub-
lican in this county who would not
cheerfully vote for Farnham and Gar
field, but they won't vote for some To-
cal officer, nominated against their best
judgment perhaps, and thus the Repub-
lican vote for Governor will be reduced
