UNITED STA TES SUPREME
COURT.

Since tho Republican party has beel
in power il has so deteriorated the Su
prone Court Of the United States tha
great intellects no longer honor Ia,
places of Marshall, Story, Taney, Nc
Lean and their compeers, and il there
fore perhaps makes little diiferenc,
what class OF men they add to it now
as no reform will occur until grea
men are once more put into the Presi
dency and the Democratic party agair
assumes power. The success of Stan
ley Matthews, who was confirmed
few days ago by n Senatorial vote o
22 to 2l, is not to be especially regret
ted, even though it was brought about
by the influence of railroad monopo
lists who expect through him to chcaI
the Government out of millions, and
by the over.anxlety of Southern Dem
ocratic Senators TO secure protection
Tor their section even through a dis
reputable bargain with the President
of The United States and the nominee
whose confirmation was thereby con
trmed. Such bargains rarely, il ever
result in general public good, and are
a blot upon the fair lame of the coun.
try ind deep disgrace to all who par
ticipatc in them. However the evil
OF the success Of Matthews is not an
unmitigated one, as it rids our National
politics of dangerous, talented and
unscrupulous demagogue-.the inventor
and beastly leader of tho informal frauds
that cheated the people ont of Presi
dent they had elected and imposed the
imbecile Hayes upon them as the
chief Magistrate of the Nation, a posi-
ton for which he had no more legal
claim than had the meanost rascal who
voted for him.
And there is another mitigation Of
this vicious appointment. Besides be.
lpg contaminated by the votes OF the
Southern Senators, it was opposed
vigorously by Edmunds, of Vermont
perhaps the ablest and most malignant
Of the ultra Radicals in tho Senate
upon the ground that Matthews enter
tanned and had frequently strongly
expressed very decided States rights
doctrines, which must ultimately save
our Federal Government from destrac.
Iion, II it be saved at all. While Mat. !
lhews Is not man who is distinguished |
Tor Roman frmness of character, the
circumstances of bis appointment,
gratitude to the men who saved him
from defeat, and the usual regard of
such men as he for consistency of
opinion in the more important of those
hey have expressed, will probably
lold him faithful to these great patri.
'tic and essential doctrines.
The great evil in the appointment of
is in the fact that he is not
man OF greatness in any form, and
las for years been the attorney ana is
he oppontee of Jay Gould, the mill.
onaire railroad monopolist, who was
hoked from the Treasury which be
lad despoiled of millions, by a Demo.
ratio Senate and an honest decision
f the Supreme Court. Gould now has
lis confidential and most trusted at
orney on the Supreme bench ITSELF
nd he will no doubt be able to fill va.
ancies upon it in the future as he did
his one.-C Clinton Democrat.

THE DISGRACE OF IT.


IL Senators Conkling, Cameron an
Logan, acting as agents OF the Reput
lican party, had approached Senate
Malone in open Senate, and bargaineI
with him for bis vote and his pledg
to transfer his faction in Virginia 4
the Republican party; and if in con
clusion of that bargain, Senator Cam
eron had drawn his check for $4,000
payable to William Malone, the ooun
try would have taken the trouble to ge
excited, and we suspect that all th,
Senators openly concerned in the trad,
would have been openly expelled BY
"a constitutional majority"
But if such a bargain had been thu
openly made, and thus brazenly haunt
ed in the face of the Senate and peo
pie Of tho United States, If all the pIo
prieties of the place and occasion bac
been thus insolenty outraged, il dc
cency had been discarded, honor ig
nored and undisguised corruption bold
ly set up as il il were the rule anC
pattern of Senatorial conduct-if al
this had been done, and with rs much
indifference to public opinion as if the
thing bought had been a red herring
or pound of mutton chops, the trans
action would have been identical, in
its moral elements, With what has ac.
tually happened.
Or, if differing at all in its moral as.
poets, the public purchase of the Sen.
ator and payment for him in cash
would have been less reprehonsible
than the vile scheme that was adopted.
For the criminal who does his work
openly and in daylight is less dan.
gerous public enemy than the mid.
night marauder.
And man who corrupts a public
official with bis own money is less dis.
honest than the scoundrel who uses
the honors and emoluments of the pub.
lie service as q fund wherewith to
brbe officials and botray their trust.
1t is the intention of this journal to
put this loathsome thing before the
country in its true colors, nothing ex.
tenuating nor setting down aught in
malice. 1t IS not with the eyes of a
partisan that we view it. ltis of com.
little moment that the Dem.
ocratic party is in q minority in the
Senate. Upon the whole we are rather
pleased than otherwise that the De.
nocracy are freed from responsibility
md put in position to make capital
)ut Of the mistakes or sins Of the Oh.
position.
But we cannot be Indifferent to the
tanning disgrace which this unexam. |
lied corruption has brought on the
senate and the country. For the first
ime in our history a Constitutional !
majority has been secured by a gross,
'ulgar bargain and sale. For the first
ime in our history the United States
'enate has become the theatre Of and
have become the actors in.
lama that can only be fitly described
y this one word-lniamous.
Where is the traditional dignity of
be Senate-a Senate controlled by
be terms Of a vile trade, that an anna.
eur base ball club would blush TO be
Inspected Off"
Who, hereafter, can cherish An am.
ition to be chosen to seat in the
-merican Senate--a Senate "read by
ample of sickening corruption as was

a positive force. He came within q
hairs breadth of receiving the Presi.
dental nomination in 1875. He came
pretty near it again in 1880. Both
times Conkling was the man who de.
feated him. But for Conkllng, Blaine
would be President to-day. Conkling
declines to have any personal relations
with Blaine. Their feud is one of those
that are irreconoilable and last for
life. Conkling never makes up Blaine
has concluded that if he cannot be
President that the next best thing is
to be the power behind Garfield. Men
are human, Politicians with disap.
pointed ambition are human. TO get
even is as natural desire with jim
Blaine as with Jim Smith. Blaine,
thinking of '76 and 80, is enjoying the
rare luxury of getting even with Conk.
ling But it is the biggest split that
ever afflicted the Republican party.
Blaine and Conkling are the leading
bosses, and if their quarrel destroys
the party, there are thousands of Re.
publicans who will join the Democracy
in hailing its downfall as a millennium
for tho country" Statesmen, instead
of demagogues, will come to the front.

Malaria, Whisky and Quinine.

In some parts of the West and,
South it is customary to mix whisky
with water to destroy the poison, bu]
those who do it simply take two pod
sons instead Of one, and they do not
counteract each other. The whisky
rather helps the malaria poison along.
It has been question whether quinine
has power to combat malaria. 1t has
the power of averting the generation
of malarial poison for a time, but
tit will not cure. 1t is. however, the
only thing that can combat malarial
poison, and hence I'm an advocate of
quinine. You can do harm with it,
but it will be hard work. I don't
believe in eonstandtly taking quinine
even if you dwell in an affected dis
trict. Take a does whenever you
need relief. 1t will relieve you for
time. If you have neuralgia and
headache and sometimes get bilious,
and have a nun,bness that makes you
apprehensive Of approaching paralysis,
you are very likely in chronic con-
dition of malarial affection. Quinine
will relieve you temporarily, and if
you 90 to the seaside or to the mount
aims you will be freed.-Profssso

Volume XXXVITI.---No. l,
Listen to This, Girls.

DIR. Carbally, an eminent physician
and chemist, testifes that the cosmt
tics which the fashionable bellies of
the present day are SC fond of of u.s.
ing aad deem SO indispensable to their
beauty, are the most deadly enemies
to their vital system. Paralysis that
fatal and frightfnl form of b div in
firmity, is said to be the result of the
continual use of the paints or washes
used for enameling or otherwise arti-
ficially whitening the skin.
Chief among these fearful auxiliar-
les of the toilet is that white horror.
"Laird's Bloom of YOUTH" which is SO
extensively used by the ladies of socie-
ty, married and single, for "making
up" their compilations. The salts
and lead contained in this preparation,
which is the means of producing that
pearly white, polished appearance of
the skin, on applying it, is the active
agent OF paralysis, and any person
who uses it, or any other lotion or
powder containing these salts, is
tampering with her life.
DR.. Darbally further tells us, SER
iously, that the peculiar droop Of the
hands sarcastically called the exam
garoo style" and which was supposed
by the community to be mere freak
of fashion, really and truely had its
origin in a partial paralysis of the
exterior muscle Of the forearm, pro-
duced by the use of those outward
poisons. Some fashionable belle, MOI
doubt, had suffered in this terribj
way for her folly, and all fashionable
geese of her acquaintance followed
suit by crooking their wrists ar :
dropping their hands, like so mar
hens with their wings broken.
We learn also that all powder, pain
and liquids which impart polished,
scintillating whiteness to the skin,
contain metallic poisons, and are
extremely perilous, The more beauti-
full the more dangerous.

White House Shares.

A new Yorker was seated in an Of
fee in Gunnison City, COL, one day,
when a grizzly looking old chap en-
tered and asked if that was the place
where they sold shares of the White
House Silver Mine. Being assured
he was in the Office of the company
he observed:
81 have heard the White House spo-
ken of as being q likely mine"
"It certainly is. We took Sic, 900
worth of ore out in one day."
"Phew! She must be just told rich
ness! How many men have ye got to

'sOh, about three hunkred."
"Have ye, though! Are the sheers
going off purity lively?"
"Shares are selling like hot cakes,

"What are sheers worth to-day?"
81 will sell you at ninety-five, though
| know they will be worth face value
to morrow"
"No! You don't really mean ninety
five?
81 do"
"Well, that's better; there's hum
dred sheers which you sold my pard
yesterday for twenty dollars. | went
over to the mine, found nothing but

"Pass ont the cash!" said the old
man, as he rested the end of his
shooter on the edge Of the counter.
The company had left his revolv
in his otercoat outside,'and he didn
believe the New Yorker would sho
for him.-After look around, he
gan counting out the money with
bland smile, and as he made the q
change he said:
"Certainly, sir-greatest of pleasure
sir. Sorry you didn't hold them one
day more, and get the full face Yalue!'
