THE "RAscALs" WANT IN.

lHE hASCALb WANT IN.
They want in because they are out
They want in to disfranchise the
people and centralize the govern
ment.
They wantin because they filched
the Presidency in 1876.
They want in because they went
ten better in 1880 and paid $40O,0 900
to carry Indiana see Dorsey's state
ment), and no "nigging" among the
Radical agents who distributed the
money.
They prevaricate about the Uni
versity, to get in.
They prevaricate about the re-as-
sessment, to get in.
They misrepresent the taxing of
personal property, to get in.
They want personal property which
should be taxed, exempted by law, so
as to get in.
They want in, for change.
They want in because the Demo
Gratis demand the free schools shall be
under State ADMINISTRATION and not
the Federal government.
They want in on general principles
They want in because Democrats
demand the abolition of all internal
revenue and the vast horde of internal
revenue officers.
They want in because Democrats
demand the surplus revenue shall
not be squandered on, and by
powerful and corrupt Hobbies and
lobbyists, but shall remain in the
hands of the people, and thereby
avoid the expense and robbery Of col
lecting.
They want the State government
turned over to them because they
stoop to villify our State institutions
and our people.
They demand Office on the prin-
ciple that a lie can travel league
while truth is putting on his boots,
and hence the people will not likely
discover their falsehoods until after
election.
They seek Office by the most unscru-
pulous methods, daunted at nothing,
bending to all things.
Ne, the people will not let the "ras-
Gals" in. They had an experience of
their proscriptive and unrighteous
methods for over eight years. They
were weighed in the balance and
found wanting.
The people cannot be hoodwinked
by false bowling or deceptive yarns.
The ways and purposes Of the Radi-
cal leaders are as transparent as
the air that surrounds us; therefore
the good servant shall not be re-
moved, but the wicked ones shall be
cast out.
The "rascals" want in but the gates
leading unto the flesh pots of the State
shall not be opened unto them

The Saratoga correspondent of the
Chicago News interviewed Exon
gresham Page, Of California, who
had recently had free political talk
with Roscoe Conkling. He says that
Conkling cooled on Arthur, though
not quarreled, because he took Chan
der into his cabinet after he had
fought them at Albany, when Conk-
ling was working for reelection and
Arthur was helping him. He gave
this as Conkling's criticism of Ar
thurs cabinet:
He thinks Arthur should have had
a stronger cabinet He thinks Folger
an old fogy, Brewster an old fool,
Lincoln q worthy but uninteresting
young man, Chandler small tricks
ter, while with Teller and Gresham lie
finds no fault. Then Conkling thinks
the administrator thus far has
missed great opportunity. He thinks
well Of Secretary Frelinghuysen, but
regards it as. very strange that he
should have permitted England to
crowd our ports with the paupers
and suspects of the united kingdom.
The assisted Irish emigration affair
would be a very small opportunity
for Frelinghnysen. Conkling speaks
well on the first three members.
The reason he does not exclude Tel
Ter is that Conkling is attorney for
the Northern Pacific and the Gould
land grant railroads, toward which
Teller has soft side.

Too Late! Too Late!

Too late now for any one, whatev- CT may be his position or by whatev- CT motive actuated, tc attempt to throw any calumny or lnslnuate any thiug injurious to the far fame of The Louisiana State Lottery. which, incorporated by the State of Louisi- ana in 1868, gives to the world re- nowned Charity Hospital at New Orleans, La, the princely sum of $1,000,OOO and scatters millions broadcast from Nova Scotia to Pan anna. Its monthly drawings take place on the second Tuesday of each month (the l60th, on Sept. IL ), and Gen'is G. T. Beauregard of La, and Jubal A. Early of Va, attest over their own signatures the absolute fairness, strict integrity, and entire good faith towards all parties of the drawings which are conducted en- tirely and solely by them.

CIRCULAR NO. 26s.
Collection of Special Taxes from Manufacturers of, and Deal-
 CTS Tn, Compound Liquors.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

[ OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE, ! WAsHINGroS,sD C., July lG. 1883 l. lss3-Departmen No. s7, Internal Revenue. To Collectors of inssr::.a: nevenue
 There is upon the marke. at tho present time a great variety of alec holic preparations for sale under the name of cordials, bitters, tonics, etc which are claimed by the makers thereof to be medicinal within the meaning of that word as employed IT schedule A, following section 3431 of the Revised Statutes of the Unit ed State. Internal revenue stamps have heretofore been affixed to many of these pre- paratlons. Some of them have been submitted to this office and haye been here classed as medi- cines. Most of them, however, are either known or'believed to be simply compound liquors fitted for use as alcoholic beverages, and quite gen. erally sold and used as such.
 Persons engaged in the manufac- tu-e of such cordials, bittcrs, tonics, etc, should be regarded as rectifiers, if the bitters, etc, are suitable for and are usaally sold or used as alco- holic beverages, and persons who sell them or offer them for sale as beverages should be regarded as liquor dealers.
 The principal question likely to arise relative to tue liability of those who manufacture or sell these prepa rations is one of fact, VIZ: Are they beverages or are they medicines. The examination of this question belongs primarily, to the several col lectors of internal revenue. It is suggested that persons engaged in the manufacture or sale of such arti- cles should be deemed prima facie liable to special taxes unless the ar. ticles so made and sold have hereto fore been examined and pronounced medicines by this office, but those engaged in making or selling such of them as have heretofore been ex- amlned and pronounced medicines by this office should not be held lia- ble to special taxes for making or selling them, unless it shall be found that they are in fact sold or used as beverages.
 If they are made according to a prescribed formula, and If when thus made are, in fact, medicinal prepara tions, Of course they should be treat ed as such.
 In all cases where the collector has doubts as to the question, he should fully report the facts to this office for further instructions.
 It is not intended that special taxes shall be required for the man. ufacture or the sale of such of these preparations as were, Tn fact made and stamped prior to Jul l, 1883, if they were so stamped with the ap- proval of this office, or under the practice and policy then prevailing.

Large Fossil Bone Found.

Jackson (Miss.) State Ledger.
 Last Tuesday huge vertebra of some animal was dug up from the mari beds of Mir. H. F. Bailey, in this place. 1t was found about fifteen feet below the surface, and has been examined by several scientific gen tlemen, who pronounce it the verte- bra of some marine animal. It is solid rock and in form is perfect, except in one place, where small piece was broken of by the pick. The animal to which 1t belongs must have been a monster indeed. At the smallest place it measures twenty six inches in circumference, is nine inches in length, and weighs forty pounds. It will be presented to the Mississippi College at Clinton.

old Silver Cons in Poland.

. A very large quantity of rare sil- yer coins was found lately at Borzc- cice, in the Krotoczln district, in Prussian Poland. A farmer was having large stone removed from one of his fields, and the workmen founds deep beside it an urn with 530 silver coins of Bohemian, Ger man, Hungarian, and even Anglo Saxon miptage. With them were some silver ornaments and few silver bars. They were all taken to the Royal Museum of Coins at Berlin.

There is a constant effort on the part of that grim monster "Disease' to become master of mortal man. Only careful observance of natural laws can render his efforts unavail- ing. Yet too often injudicious ex- cesses, sudden changes, too great exposure, improper food or other abuses of nature open the gateway and Disease gains victory. Some tunes it's mastery is so complete tLat Nature of herself can never effect a dislodgement. In such instances re intorce nature with q judiclous use of Browns Iron B;ttcrs and we guar antee, iu short time, all disease will be vanished.
