Then and Now.

The practice of running men for
office because they have money and
are willing to spend it is n of the
most pernicious and alarming symp-
toms in u modern system of poll
tics. We do not admit that this is
the case, as has been charged, with
Mr. Bookwalter. But il it were. q
contemporary remarks, honors would
be- easy between him and his oppo-
nent,i Both have displayed sense
enough to make money and keep it.
MI. Foster, to be sure, has had con-
siderable experience in public life,
but it was experience Of a very dis
creditable kind, as we shall prove by
quotations from that reflex of Re-
publicanism, the S~andusky Register.
To beginowith, while a member of
Congress he betrayed the Southern
Republicans in what is known as the
Louisiana Report" respecting
which the Register of March 3, 1879,
said: m
"We could support Foster, but we
should alUays do it with the mental
reservation that his Louisiana re
port. his vote on the Silver bill, and
his support of the anti Chinese bill
were simply contemplate"
The eitalics are our own. and are
used simply to lend force to the Reg
~sster's remarks. Again, the Regis
ter of February 81, 1879, had the fol
lowing:
"Nlr. Fosters support of the infa
nous and undemocratic measure is
of a piece with has surrender to the
| Louisiana intimidatorS qohen he Wenl
to NeqO Orleans. We fancy that the
people of Ohio will have no further
use for men who could so easily sur.
render to Kearneyism as did Mr.
Cox and Charles Foster"
About the same time the editor o.
the Register urged the nomination o.
Judge Taft for Governor by the Re
publicans of Ohio over Foster, de
claring that he "could vote for hin
CTaft) without blushing," the infer
ence being very plain that he couldn'
vote for Foster "without blushing.'

Let the nurse take her charge out

use a tepid salt bath, which refresh

/. A great many persons are in the
habit OF looking upon and speaking
of printers devils in a manner that
reflects no credit on themselves.
Those same printers devils, in nine
cases out of ten, are three times as
well posted on the issues of the day
as the person who Sights ntlspeaks
lightly of them. There is no class
OF boys for whom we have a more
profound respect than WelI-behayed
printers devils. They know some
thing and are practical, which is
more than you can say of all classes
of boys. In that respect, we place
the boys who work in a printing of
fee, head and shoulders above
most boys. Young woman, before
you again elevate that delicate n oSe
at the approach of a printers devil,
get some one who knows something
of history to tell you the names of 4
few characters that were once Iprin-
terS' devils. For fear that you dis
like to show your ignorance, we
will give you short list of eX-dev-
lis of printing offices. If you have.
heard Ofany of them, quit your flirt-
ing and all nonsense in general, and
go to studying. Did you ever hear
of Benjamin Franklin? Ben was
once Il printers devil. He was also
one of the signers of the Declaration
of Independence. Hannibal Hamlin,
Vice President under Lincoln, was
once a poor printers devil. Schuy-
Ter Colfax, who has been Speaker
of the House of Representative for
number of years, was ''nothing
but devil in printing Office'' at
one time. Horace Greeley, who
was one of the first journalists on
this continent, and an ex-congress-
man, was a printers devil. Ex-
Senator Simon Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, was a "devil." Thurlow
Weed, one of the wealthiest and
most influential men Gin New
York, and editor of the Commercial
-Adrertisey, was a penniless devil in
a printing Office. Ex-senator Ross,
of Kansas, commenced his successful
career as u printers devil. Two
thirds of the editors in the United
States were once printers devils.
Permit us to tell You that the men
who once did duty as printers, have
done more to advance the interests
and sustain the good name of Amer
lea than any other class.

DIED For His Brother.
St. Louis Republican.

One of the saddest drownings out
of the many which have occurred
during the summer was that by
which two little fellows, brothers,
lost their lives yesterday afternoon.
The elder of them, james McHugh,
sat on the bank of the river, at
about o'clock in the afternoon,
watching his brother John, a boy
of nine, who was swimming near
the shore between Convent and
Chouteau avenues. Suddenly the
little fellow went under, and his
brother, who was only two years
his senior, jumped in to rescue him.
Heidi not stop to pull off his clothes,
and being thus incImbered, his eff
forts to save his brother were not
only fruitleSs, but he lost his life
in the attempt. Both were swept
down stream together in view of
half dozen witnesses until finally
they sunk the third time. The riV-
er was dragged and Johns body re-
covered in about an hour after the
occurrence. Two hours Later his
brothers corpse was found and both
were carried together to the resi-
dence of their father, James Nc
Hugh, an employee of gas-wOrks,
who lives on Third and Convent
streets

The sun Cholera Medicine
Now York Journal of Commerce.

More than twenty years ago,
when it was found that prevention
OF cholera was easier than cure, a
prescription drawn up by eminent
doctors was published in the Sun,
and it took the name of the Sun
cholera medicine.
Our contemporary never lent its
name to ii better article. We have
seen it in constant use for nearly
two score years, and found it to be
the best remedy for loOseneSs of the
bowels ever yet devised.
No one who has this by him, and
takes it in time, will ever have the
cholera.
We commend it to all our friends.
Even when no cholera is anticipa-
ted, it is an excellent remedy for or
binary summer complaints, collie, di-
arrhga, disentery, etc.
Take equal parts of tincture Of
Cayenne pepper, tincture of opium,
tincture Of rhubarb, essence of pep
permint and spirits Of champion.
Mix well. Dose, fifteen to thirty
drops in little cold water, accord
ing to age and violence of symp-
toms, repeated every twenty min
utes until relief is obtained.

Dropping down the silent tear.

Would that in our silent sorrow
We would call 1t back again.
