One Of our exchanges says that
the selection of Chicago as the seat
of the next Republican National
Convention was Blaine movement.
Perhaps it was, as Mr.. Arthur is
said to have preferred Saratoga.
But this was fully offset by the fail
ure to change the basis of represen-
tation. The New York Tribune is
Mr. Blainc's national organ. 1t
says on this point:
''It Is matter for regret that the
COMMITTEES lid not adopt the proposition
Of Mr.. FRYE for a change in the basis ~
representation. Ii met with the gener-
al approval Of the Republicans of tn
North, a. q its adoption would have
added strength TO the n II Conve tiOn >
The defeat of Gorham may be set
down as highly pleasing to Mr..
Blaine. So he scores two victories
and one defeat.

THE KORRISFOWN GAZETTE
wEDsEsDAY. DEC. 10. 1888.

In conformity to an agreement IN
caucus, a joint resolution was intro
duced in both houses ofthe Virginia
General Assembly, last Thursday
declaring that the people of Virginia
have accepted the act of February
1882, known as the "Riddleberger
bill. /" ms the ultimate settlement OF
the debt of the State; that sit IF
their unaIterable purpose that thai
settlement shall DO final, and any
expectation that any other basis will
ever be made or tolerated by the
people of Virginia is absolutely illu-
sorry and hopeless" And this actor
of the legislature beyond a Perad
venture fastens Virginia in the list
OF Democratic States.

The Republican National Execu'
tive Committee met at Washington
last week for the purpose Of desig
mating a place for the meeting o.
the next National Convention, to
nominate candidates to be support
ed for President and Vice President
at the next election. Without muel
ola contest, Chicago was selected
and Tuesday, June Sd, 1884, wa
designated as the day of meeting.
The committee lodged the Malone
issue by adopting a stalwart advance
plank of the next platform, throw
ing the mantle of the party over all
organizations who believe in "frce
education, free suffrage, and the
protection of life and property to all
citizens" This is supposed to make
the Readjusters good enough Re
publicans till after election.

sliberal movement" Senator Ma
hone meant to designate the eoali-
ton between Republicans and Re
adjusters in Virginia But the ex-
boss, having been showed under in
the late Virginia elections, found
his influence less potent with bis
Republican colleagues than former
ly. His friend and the friend OF
the "liberal movement" was defeat
ed on the first formal ballot The
fact is that Malone as a protested
Republican cannot hope to WELD the
influence in the Senate that he did
as a Readjuster ally. ''Time at last

The composition of the Commit
tee of Ways and Means by Mr.. Car.
Isle, and the work they cut out
will soon tell tho story of revenue
reform" fever there was 4 time
when politicians should make haste
slowly" that time is now, and "rev
enue reformers" in Congress should
ponder well their course before they
commit the Democratic party mex
tricably to a policy that may prove
suicidal, and postpone its return to
power indefinitely. While we do
not hesitate to declare that tariff re
form in needed and that we have no
more sympathy than others with a
policy that tends TO build up moneP-
olies to the detriment Of the masses.
yet we can still perceive that this
subject il environed with difficulties
and must be dealt with in a conserv-
alive way. Sudden or violent re-
forms viii not serve the purpose,
but will overthrow the party com
mitted to them, and defeat the very
end that all should keep in view.
Let the Democrats in Congress, we
repeat, "make haste slowly in deal
ing with this matter. In the Ian
guage of the editorial correspondent
of the Augusta Chronicle, Revenue
reform was a good enough slogan
TO defeat Randall, but it does not
sound quite so well as an invitation
10 party suicide"

firm of Stevens Brothers visited
MorristOwn with a view to the Sc
lection of a site for a large WOODEN
factory. He had interviews, We

men, and wo trust will determine to

able or desirable place than Morris
town could be found in the State.
Our railroad connections are good,
and, with the completion of the Car.
Dina, Cumberland Gap and ChIca-
20 railroad, will be superior to any
other point in the State. Besides,
Morristown is the center of n very
extensive grazing and farming ceun-

are assured that our business men
will subscribe literally to the enter
prise. Let it be inaugurated and
Stevens Brothers will grow rich,

The City AttOrneyshfp

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER It is stated, and thus far without contra diction, that the appointment of asuccessor to Mir. Pickett has already been made and vii soon be announced In advance of such an nouncement may I ask for space in your journal to state how some-many, as I be- Geve-of the more intelligent and thoughtful among our citizens regard the proposal to substitute another for the present city at- torney? Briefly, they hold that such action is in direct opposition to the principles of Civil Service reform, which the platforms of both parties and the late Congress advocated and endorsed. That 1t will be recognized as concession to the politicians, who prize votes above principle or the impartial enforcement of law. That it will be construed-not un- reasonably-as rebuke of the fidelity which is not deterred by threat or bribe from exc cutting unpopular statutes That it will be gratifying, chiefly, to the law-breaking ele- ment of the community and to such as are, more or less consciously, in sympathy with them.
 Mr. Pickett may feel an honest pride in the fact that citizens whose names are known beyond the bounds of the State and carry weight approve his course and ask for his retention in office while the motives and methods of his opposers, so far as they are revealed, are an indirect but strong testim O.
 
 We publish the above, as we do many other communications, out of spirit of fair ness. We do not know who is to be Prose- cutting Attorney for the next term, but we cannot agree with our correspondent in his opinion that Mir. Pickett ought to be. In our opinion he is not fit for the place, and our correspondents idea of him and his work as Prosecuting Attorney does not seem to us correct. We do not believe that the Claw breaking element of the community" will have reason to rejoice if he is not appointed, and we know that many who are not even ''more or less consciously in sympathy with law breakers are very strongly opposed to his reappointment. Furthermore, we can assure our correspondent that the motives and methods of many of his opposers are not an indirect but strong testimony to his worth. ED. COURIER

In view of the approaching coronation of the Czar the court jewellers of St. Petersburg are now busy cleaning and repairing the in signia of the crown, the value of which is es. timated at six and half million dollars The crown itself, valued at 5000, ,O0O, is adorned with magnificent diamonds, ffty-four enor- nous pearls without flaw, and ruby of ex- traordinary size; it is of exquisite workman ship. It was made by Pauzie, the Genevese jeweler, and was first used at the coronation of Catherine the Great. The sceptre, which was made for the coronation of Paul l., is tipped with the famous Orloff diamond, which, like the Koh-i-neor, came from the treasury of the Grand Mogul. It remained for centuries in a rough state, and passing through various hands it was at length pur- chased for paltry sum by an Armenian of the name of Lagorew, who had it cut in Amsterdam, where Alexis Orlof bought it for 45O, 900 roubles, in order to present it to the Empress Catherine. The Orloff is eight carats heavier than the Koh-i-noor.

The blood is the foundation of life, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible. If disease has entered the system the 0nLy sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood.
 These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that nokktng but iron will restore the blood to its natural condition; and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause head ache, and are otherwise injurious.

 Gents Upon the recommenda- ton of a friend I tried BROWNS IRON BITTERS as a tonic and re- storative for my daughter, whom was thoroughly convinced was wasting away with Consumption. Having lost three daughters by the terrible disease, under the care of eminent physicians, was 10th to believe that anything could arrest the progress of the disease, but, to my great surprise, before my daugh- ter had taken one bottle of BROWNS IRON BITrERs, she began to mend and now is quite restored to former health. A fifth daughter began to show signs of Consumption, and when the physician was consulted he quickly said "Tonics were re- quired;" and when informed that the elder sister was taking BROWNS IRON BITTERs, responded "that is good tonic, take it.
