JUDGE TAYLOR, Representative from
this Congressional District, has recent
ly made a speech against the Anti
Chinese Bill, which is highly praised
by the papers of his party in this re-
gion, who think there should be no
restrictions upon the free immigration
of these celestials who are flOcking to
our shores by thousands, seriously af-
fecting our laboring interests and con-
taminating the very atmosphere with
their filthy habits and dirty mode Of
living. The people this side of the
Rocky Mountains know little of these
creatures, but on the Pacific slope there
is an almost universal demand for the
passage of some law that will put a
stop to their landing upon our shores.
The opposition to the bill comes prin-
cipally from those who are loudest in
their professions of regard for the la
boring men and who are continually
prating about protecting American
labor from the pauper labor of Europe"
yet who would degrade the working
men of this country by compelling
them to compete with a race Of crea-
lures who can live on what any decent
white man or negro would abhor. The
sentiments advanced by Judge Taylor
are i'll complete accord with those OF
the forged Morey letter, over which
L, - l.,
last days of the campaign of 1880, and
if they are just right and proper, it is
difficult to comprehend why the Re-
publicans should then have manifested
so much indignation as was expressed
by the Radical leaders at that time.

A sure cure for Blind, Bleeding, Itch

covered by DR. William, IAN Indian
remedy,) called DR.. Williams Indian
Ointment. A single box has cured the
worst chronic cases of % or 80 years

minutes after applying this wonderful
soothing medicine. Lotions, instru-
ments and clectuaries do more harm
than good. Williams Ointment alb
serbs the tumors, allays the intense
Itching, particularly at night after
getting warm in bed, } acts as Il poul-
tice, gives instant and painless relief,
and is prepared only for Piles, itching
of the private parts, and for nothing
else.

THE action of the Democratic mem
bers of Congress last Monday in op-
posing all anti-polygamy legislation
proves conclusively that the Demo-
cratic party is not the champion of
morality. AS unit it fought, below
ed, and filibustered against the cOnsid-
Grafton of the Edmunds bill, and thus
placed itself on record as favoring the
perpetuation of the foul blot of Nor
monism.-[ Alliance Standard.
Does it now, friend Garrison? Then
by parity of reasoning, those MEM
bers of our Legislature who voted
against making chicken stealing a
penitentiory oftense are in favor of
chicken stealing. Oh, pshaw.

STAR ROUTE BRADY is required to
give bonds in the sum of 500, 600 to
answer to an indictment for conspiring
to defraud the Government; Dorsey,
who is the Secretary of the Republi-
can National Committee, is under
bonds for a like oflense, as are score
or more of leading Republicans. And
yet the organs of that pure, pious and
patriotic party say that all the rascals
of the country are in the Democratic
ranks, and that the party of Jefferson
and Jackson can't be trusted. OF
course these plunderers don't want to
trust the Democrats with the manage
ment of the affairs of the government.

Harper for September opens with beautiful
frontispiece entitled, ga Sunday Morning in
Surrey" from the picture of Alfred Parsons,

appears in this number of the magazine. Sew
eral other sketches are handsomely Illus
trated, notably York in Maine" and Med
iterranean Ports and Gardens" "a Doctor

story and Glove will Find the Way Out" is
another of equal interest. The novel, "Shan-
don Bells" illustrated is continued, and the
Easy Chair Historical Record, and literary
departments are full of entertaining matter.
DemoreSfs for September - The diversified
contents of the September number of DensorestS S

serial "The Admiral's Ward" is extremely
interesting, and among the charming short

Maker" and Esther's Love Story" The
biographical sketches of Carman Sylvia and
Frederick Froebel are admirable, and not less
so is Jennie Junes Girl of the Period" The

high merit of this popular monthly; one by
Mrs. NJ Sheffey Peters, "The Chain of HAIR
is particularly good; while Mrs. Stephens's
Love in Tangle" grows more and more
absorbing.

with great variety of light and entertaining
matter with pleasant mixture of solid read
ing The opening paper-"An Antwerp Print

inc and instructive and calls up to the memory
Of the old soldiers many thrilling incidents of
tbe late war. Its advocacy of measures before

FORGETTING THE CoUNTERsIGN.

An amusing incident of a soldier forgetting
the password occurred on Staten Island during
the early compaign of the First New York
Regiment Volunteer Engineers. A good ma
tured soldier of the Fatherland was on guard,
and the officer of the guard had taken consid-
cradle pains to instruct the sentinels in their
duty, SO that when the guard rounds were
made, everything would be in order In going
the rounds after midnight everything pro-
gressed satisfactorily until the inspecting party
approached a German sentinel. He halted us
correctly, but had evidently forgotten the
countersign, and in his quandary said "Ser-
geant, come here and say Something's"

place until near night. The rebel naval brigade
