saving the people such q Large amount
Of taxes, why are they so timid and
backward in declaring themselves op-
posed to every measure that will defeat
the object of that law? The second
amendment will utterly annul that
law. Are the leaders OF the party OF

right out on the subject. Then why

THE Republican managers ars basing
their hopes of success at the coming
election upon dissensions and apathy
in the Democratic raaks. They know
fall well that If every Democrat is at
the polls on the 9th of October and
does his duty the party of jobbery,
bribery and fraud must step down and
out. Then let every Democrat be up
and doing and work earnestly from
this on till the close of the polls, and
the effort will be rewarded with glo-
rieus victory,

WAS the delivery of $50, 900 by Dor

purpose of securing fair vote and ar

be wondered at that Foster rushed t,
Washington to congratulate the emf

DURING Judge Foraker's rscen
speech at Xenia, James Campbell,
lifelong Republican, asked Judge For

Miners.

Miners as a class have a hard life
They constitute numerous body of
laborers-in Pennsylvania 10000, and
in mining districts elsewhere, the bulk
of the community. There is no body of
men who deserve more considerable
treatment. Cut off by the necessities
of their vocation from association with
the general mass of human beings, and
almost from the world, they dwell one
half their lives below the world, in
darkness, and when above ground as
sociate only with those of their own
calling. Witnesses before the Senate
Special Committee assert that miners
as class are inadequately paid for the
difficult and cherries labor, SO neces-
sary to society, they perform-and we
can easily believe it. The mines in
Pennsylvania are owned chiefly by
railroad companies, and this fact is I'M
fortunate for the miners employed in
them. What is called the ''truck sys-
tenn prevails there, and through it the
companies get back from the miner
nearly every dollar they pay him. He
is paid either wholly or in part for his
labor in orders on the company's store,
the goods of course being charged to
him at a high rate of profit. 1t is
stated that their situation is ''pitiable
and miserable in the extremes" they are
demoralized by the truck system, and
as a consequence 'spend at least half
their earnings in drink. st. Louis

New Costumes.

Polonaises and pelisses made in Sc
we're tailor fashion will be very popular
for autumn and winter costumes. The
polonaises may have plated fullness
added on the hips and the sides, drawn
backward to show the plated or
flounced skirt beneath. This simple
style is very pretty in the new tapestry
woolens that come in dull colors of
brown with green, blue with brown, and
blue with red; these figured stuffs are
used for the over-dress with plain wool
skirts that have gathered flounces Dor
dered with bands of velvet If the ma
terial is reversed, and the figured stuff
used for the skirt, the polonaise is of
plain cloth, and is so plainly made
that is, without draping-that it be-
comes a pelisse like those described for
wraps. Bison cloth, as rough as horse
covers, and of heavily twilled wool, is
the new fabric for these costumes. 1t
comes in plain colors and in stripes of
contrasting color, to be used in the
same dress; the stripes are of gray with
blue, brown with blue, red with green,
and red with black. The skirt is made
with boys kilt, with broad plain
front, and is laid in box or side plaits
back of this, the only trimming is n
narrow plating at the foot, edging the
foundation skirt, and the plated skirt
falls upon this, concealing its heading.
The plain bison cloth may be a single
coat, or else pointed basque and
pulled drapery without trimming, as the
edges of the drapery are turned under
meath quite out of sight. Lower skirts
are also made of pailasson, or straw
mat cloth, and q small shoulder cape of
this new cloth, which resembles Astra-
khan, is added for the street. Pipings
of velvet of one or two contrasting
colors are arranged as borders on new
wooden dresses. Maroon velvet is a
favorite trimming for gray, blue and
brown cloth costumes. There are also
bands of brocaded gray velvet used as
the trimming of gray cloth or cancels
hair suits. Blue cashmere suits have
bands of golden brown velvet around
the skirt, or else the skirt is nearly
covered in front and on the sides by
three gathered, hounces of the cashmere,
edged with ruby, maroon or golden
brown velvet 1t is predicted that
golden brown-not the dark seal brown
will be as fashionable as the new gray
shades for cloth, silk and velvet COS

GRATIFYING T SUITS.

Under date of May IA, Mr.. f. A. Thomson, the we'll
known grocer and provision dealer of IS Green street,
New Haven, Conn, writes follows: Several
weeks since was taken very i'll with kidney disorders,
and an examination of my urine showed a very dis
eascd condition of my kidneys, and had also symp-
toms of diseased state of my liver. The passing OF
my urine was accompanied with severe pains in the
small of my back and lons followed by burning SEN
saton and after having stood awhile in the vessel the
urine showed very heavy deposit of sediment SINH
lar TO ground dust and, in short, found that
was in such diseased condition require immedl-
ate medical treatment, and as was anxious to obtain
the best and mostspeedy remedy, looked and inquired
carefully, and became satisfied that Hunts Remedy
was an article of excellent merit and therefore con
cluded TO give it trial. and commenced taking It, and
before had taken one bottle found such great i'm
provement that decided to continue its USE and by
taking only two bottles the result has been most graft
flying in giving me restored health.
Il have ordered supply of Hunts Remedy for my
store and shall hereafter have 1t for sale as consider
it an excellent article for diseases of the liver and
kidneys"

Nails in Horses Feet.

At the invitation of the manager, Mr..
Hugh Patton, a number of gentlemen
connected with the city papers paid
visit to the extensive stables of the
Shedden Company, on William Street,
yesterday, for the purpose of Witness
ing }he effect of nails which some of
theNhorses have inadvertently trod upon
while doing their work. Besides the
press gentlemen there were also present
Veterinary Surgeon Baker, Mr.. Galley,
Inspector for the Society for the Pre-
Vention of Cruelty to Animals, and Mr..
Andrew Young, foreman of the She'd
den Company. 1t has been found that
the delicate internal structure of p
horses foot renders an injury in that
region no matter how Slight, extremely
difficult OF treatment; and any way
OF preventing nails and other sharp
articles from being thrown in
the way of horses feet is there
fore of considerable importance. The
habit prevails among many of the care
takers and others of our mercantile es-
adjustments Of burning the old broken
boxes which have been used in the
shipment Of goods, etc, and then
throwing the ashes, including the nails
which have hitherto held the boxes to-
gether, IN the streets and lanes in the
nelghborhood, thus putting them right
IN the way of the feet of horses used in
carting the goods from the warehouse
10 the station or steamer, and vice ver-
sa, and causing many of them incalcu-
laole pain. After being shown over the
stables yesterday in order to take
look at the fine horses, some 800 in
number, the party was taken to what is
known as 1.-THE hospital" where are
Kept all the horses which have been
disabled to such an extent that the
treatment of the veterinary surgeon is
necessary, and shown among other
things one horse which had been so Sc
yerely injured by nail entering his
foot that an abcess had formed above
the hoof, and in all probability the
animal will have to be shot in order TO
relieve its suffering, as the result is al
most certain to be fatal in the end.
Since the 1st of April the company have
had forty-four serious cases in which
the animals have been laid up from
one week to two months each, besides
about fifty less serious ones l1hat have
probably only required y few
nights rest and the application of
poultices. The following table will
show to some extent the Inconvenience
which the company have been put to
on account of this, being a statement of
The time when the horses were put I'M

and the date upon which they were dis
charged cured:
