A Sad Death.

In Philadelphia recently at coroner's
inquest over the body Of child the jury
returned verdict that death was caused
by the administration Of patent cough
syrup, containing mor2hia. Dr.. Samuel
X. Cox, of Washington, states that not one
cough medicine in ten is free from this oh.
lection. After careful analyses and practi.
cal tests he endorses Red Star Cough
Cure as being purely vegetable, absolutely
free from opiates, poisons and narcotics.
tie regards 1t as most happy and valua
bic discovery.

larity In their methods aud aims. II remains
to be seen, however, whether the American
people will be content to be ruled by this
combination Of corruption in the north and
intimidation in the south.
The NATIONAL REruBLtcAShas unbound
ed faith in the future of this nation. The
past Of our country justfes this confidence
in its future. Neither brutality nor rascally
craft aud cunning, nor all combined, can
govern the people of the United States. A
party that depends on Tammany tactics
and Mississippi methods must go down.
We expect TO witness the election Of a Re-
publican Congress in less than one year

that victory complete we have no doubt
that the Free Lance and the Republican
party Of the Old Dominion will bear an
honorable part.

Tie Future of Parties.

The Free Lance, an excellent newspaper
published at Fredericksburg, Va, and
edited by Mr., John W. Woltz, who was
one Of the sold Guard" the famous 3O6 at
Chicago in 1880, has the following in its
issue for the 10th instant;
That intensely Republican advocate, the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, In its issue OF Saturday,
gives It's readers long dissertation on parties
in France" Just now the condition OF 'par-
ties in France" exctes less interest in the
minds of the readers of our esteemed oontcm.
poTary than does that of "parties in New York
and Virginia." Tell us, Brother REPUBLICAN,
the future outlook of parties in the states we
have named.
1t may be true that most Of the REPUBLI-
CAMS readers care more for domestic than
foreign politics, but It is fair assumption
that they are interested, to considerable
extent, in the politics Of European nations.
The recent elections In France and the
pending campaign in Great Britain involve
many questions that appeal strongly to
American sympathy. The great republic of
Europe is not stranger to the great re-
public Of the western hemisphere, Gnd the
destiny of Ireland is theme which touches
the American heart almost as closely as any
Of our home concerns.
As TO the future Of ''partics In New York
and Virginia. We are not at all troubled.
This republic is too great, its people too
intelligent, its interests too vast to be ruled
by Tammany aud solid south. Inthls cou-
nection we submit for the encouragement
Of our Fredericksburg contemporary the
remarks of the leading republican jouna
Of the Keystone state;
The chief satisfaction the southern Demo,
cratic papers derive from the Democratic VIC
tory in New York state is that 1t was won by
Tammauy Hall The sympathy between this
oIgGuIzalion and the solid Democratic south
has long LcGn apparent Their political
methods are precisely similar. Tammauy has
kcIt IOwcr only by brute force aud the cor.
luUt usG Of patronage, and the means by
which the southern Democratic leaders have
gained control are bulldozing, ballot-boS stuff

War in the Bay State.

The appointment of the Hon. Leverett
Saltonstall, a gentleman Of prodigious re-
spectability, to the Boston collectorship has
caused intense excitement in the Hub and
vicinity.
The Bay state Democrats are, like their
brethren W some other states. divided into
two distinct varieties known respectively as
"swalow-tailn and ''short .haired.n Mr..
Saltonstall was the candidate Of the former,
while the latter supported Mr.. Peter Butler,
who is said to be worthy man, and quite
competent to the discharge OF all the duties
devolving on the collector Of customs for
the port of Boston, albeit he does not sport
n crest nor boast of pedigree that tackles
the MayAower.
1t is highly improbable that any human
creature on this terrestrial ball could
truthfully say word against the character
of the Hon. Levorett Saltonstall, Of Boston.
lie is gentleman Of the old school, cult
waited, refined, aesthetic, and OF double
turreted integrity. He Is a model Of de-
pertinent, q unique combination Of Chester
field and Turveydrop. 1t is understood
that he and Mr., Secretary Endicott have
acquired by inheritance about all of the
vast stock of respectability that was left by
the old Wing party when it died from the
effects OF collision with Knownothlng-
ism.
But what does all this amount to in the
estimation Of the "short-halredn-the
yirile, working, aggressive element of the
pmty? They know very well that respecta-
bility has not helped them to win any Of
the victories which they have scored in re-
cent years They know that the ''swallow-
tails" have no sympathy with their polIti-
cal methods, are inclined 10 Mugwumpan
ways, and to straight-laced notions of re-
form.
We put 1t mildly when we say that the
"shorthairedn are mad. They are In n
towering rage. The air is full of epithets
aud things that they are hurliug at the adj
mlnistration. They even repent themselves
that they voted for Mr.. Cleveland, and

But the Massachusetts, Mugwumps are
happy and are pointing with pride to the
appointment Of saltonstal on the heels OF
the New York election as showing either
that the President does not regard the sue
cess Of Gov Hill as a rebuke administered
by the partyt to the civil service policy of its
head, or that he cares nothing for the rep.
rimand, and is resolute in his purpose Of

The Electric Lights.

The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the United States Electric Lighting Company
was held at the Office of the company Tuesdly
afternoon. Mr.. Samuel Nornent, presiding,
made the following remarks:
"Genilemen, the circumstances and sur
roundings under which we meet to-day afford

cess is absolutely phenomenal This is always
the case when pluck, perseverance, and energy
are vigorously put forth in the accomplishment
Of any important undertaking. The outlook in

future population, wealth, and beauty of the
national capital is no longer matter of sur
the spirit OF the times. This Is the focal staud-
| ing from which emanates statistical informa-

Gen. Raum's Army Pay Account


The second comptroller OF the Treasury has
disallowed an item of $500 in the accounts OF
Green b. Raum, late brigadier general of vol
unteers, which amount he received as the full
pay and allowances of brigadicr general from
March 2 TO March 81, 1865, on the ground that
while he was nominated and confirmed as
brigadier general In February he did not Rc-
until March 81, 1865. The claim made on be-
hall of Gen. Raum Is that he accepted his com
mission ns brigadier general March or 3, aud
is, therefore, entitledto compensation for the
81. The comptroller says he finds no proof to
sustain this claim, and he holds that even If 1t
is shown that Gen. Ruum accepted the ap-
pointment March g. 1865, he wOnld not then
be entitled to compensation for the period
named, because OF the fact from that date un-
Ill March ~ he was absent without leave and
performed no military service. He, therefore,
concludes that Gen. Raum is ohargeable with
the amount in question.

A LIMERICK telegram published yester-
day states that sowing to the recent civilian
attacks upon soldiers, large party Of the
Kings Royal Rifles broke out of the bar
racks, armed with bayonets, and made an
indiscriminate attack upon people residing
in the vicinity" Nothing can be said in
justification of such an outrage as this.
How long can the people of Ireland be ex-
pected to submit to a government whose
soldiers make indiscriminate attacks on
