MAKING Watches,

Defective watch cases are one of the chief
causes of so many watches not being good
time pieces. The cases being thin and not
fitting well, admit dust and dirt to the move
ment, which soon interferes with tho running
parts of the watch, necessitating cleaning, re-
pairing, &C., and the amount thus paid out if
applied toward buying a good case in the
beginning, would have saved all this trouble
and expense. We have recently seen q case
that meets all these requirements, it having
been carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD CASE, which has
become one of the staple articles of the jew
e!ry trade, possessing as it does SO many
advantages over all other watch cases, being
made Of two heavy plates of solid gold over
plate of composition, and we advise all our
readers to ask their jeweler for card or cat
alogue that will explain the manner in which
they are made.
It is the only sttffened case made with two
plates of gold, seamless pendants, and center,
solid joints, crown pieces, &C., all of which
are covered by letters patent. Therefore buy
no case before consulting a jeweIer who keeps
the JAS. BOSS PATENT STITFENED GOLD
CASE, that you may learn the difference be-
twee n it and all limitations that claim to be
equally as good.
For sale by irresponsible jewelers.. Ask to
see the warrant that accompanies each case,
and don t be persuaded that any other make
OF case is as good. apr20-1y

AUSTIN, MINNESOTA;
Let Him be President.

During the last few weeks the play Of
American politics has become one Of
absorbing interest. That which was
looked upon with quiet amusement is now
watched with curiosity bordering upon
anxiety. The supposed within of the
President is developing into principle,
and the certain death of this principle, or
of Roscoe Conkllng, Will change the
comedy into fine political tragedy.
The actors are James A. Garfield, Pres
ident Of the Z. S., and Roscoe Conkling,
Senator from N. Y. The former repre-
sents the Executive department Of the
government. and in the play is simply
performing his sworn duty. The latter
represents Roscoe Conkling, a synonymous
name for bossism, political despotism,
aud ring rule. 1t seems that the Presi-
dent appointed one Robertson, for Collec-
tor Of Revenue at New York, and that a
withdrawal of the appointment is de-
manded by Senator Conkling to whom
it is rather unpalatable. On the refusal
of President Garfield to comply with this
most highly reasonable (D demand of the
N. Y. Lord, the latter Immediately
threatens the President with the wrath of
the Senate. The President, unwilling to
have his policy dictated to him by man
who enormously believes himself to he
the Republican party, positively declines
to obey, and insists that the appointm
be confirmed or rejected by the Senate.
The turning point Of the play then, is,
shall the President exercise the power
conferred upon him by the constitution,
or shall it really tall into the hands otthe
Senate and be welded by representative
Of single state.
In view Of the fact that the legislative
branch has been steadily encroaching on
the other branches of the government,
and thereby Threatening US with the evils
of centralized administration, this fight
between President Garfield and Roscoe
Conkling is one Of paramount importance.
On the part Of the former it is not a per-
sonal fight He has merely taken the
step which it has long been foreseen that
some President must take to preserve the
dignity and powers attaching TO his office
1t is disgraceful spectacle which is
offered to our view. Our chief magis-
trate is asked by tyrannical ring politi-
clan to withdraw an appointment which
it is the duty Of the Senate to reject, if
the appointment be an improper one.
Conkllng's conduct points unerringly to
the absolute power which he was striv-
ing for under Grant administration
President Garfield has met him boldly,
and in the interests of his office and of
true government The President will
win; he has the constitution to support
him, and also the sympathy and aid Of
the best men of all parties. Aud he
ought to win; for it is only by observing
strictly the boundaries of each depart.
ment of government, and leaving each
officer to the performance of his own
duty and the responsibility Of his position
that our principles of government can be
maintained. We, the people of the U. s..
elected Garfield President, and we say
let him be President.

then run into some advertisement that we
