Congress in April, 1876, added a
section to bill providing for defic-
iency in the Bureau OF Engraving
that authorized the Secretary of the
Treasury to sell United States bonds
bearing per cent interest, and with
the proceeds purchase silver to be
coined into smallmoney and used to
retire the fractional paper currency
then in circulation. About &2O, 0OO,-
600 of bonds were disposed Of for that
purpose. Now, il those bonds are
drawing interest at the present time,
and continue until 1907, when the 4
per cent bonds must be declared due,
this transaction, put through Con.
gress without proper debate or suf.
ficent understanding, will have cost
the wealth producers Of this nation
fully $50, 900, 900. Imagine the patriot
ism and duty to the people that
would entail an expense Of $50, OOO,'
600 to retire the best small currency
we ever had, and against which nc
complaint was ever made. -[Nationa

TO stiffen the Republican vertebrae.

A so-called temperance meeting
was held i'm Lyric Hall last Sunday
evening, at which incorporate talk
largely predominated. But single
thought suggested by Rev. Mr.. Ba-
bin, had more practical truth than
is contained in full volume OF such
farrafonade rs made up most Of the
talk of the meeting. The farce Of
holding Republican meeting on
Sunday night, to stiffen the backs of
weak Representatives, attracted a
few Democrats. but kept away more
Republicans.
The Democrats went there as they
would 60 to n menagerie or q circus,
as spectators and curiosity seekers.
The resolutions (lnachine made were
adopted without dissenting vote by
the small number Of Republicans
voting. But if the criterion the Re-
publican leaders have set up for de-
Gliding elections in the South prevail.
then the great mass of the party hav-
ing staid away from the meeting, the
resolutions were defeated more than
two to one. Inasmuch as it was not
our meeting, the republicans can re
port them either way. as suits theii
interests. and we won't object.
Rev. Babin's idea that intelligence,
education and self government over
mems desires and appetites was the
best thought Of the meeting. Our
present so-called temperance legisla
ton, is as void of oil these elements
as the Cavalier piety Of Cromwell
was destitute of the true spirit O
Christianity.
Young men should be made to un
derstand that it is in the line of bust
ness; of employment where larg'
trusts are involved; to be temporal,
and sober; that there is always al
opening for one who has moral cour
age, education. integrity, competence
and of unexceptionable habits. Tn
pride of name, the love OF family an,
friends, the ambition to serve one
country, if properly presented, Gr
stronger incentives to temperance
morality and virtue than any Law
which would put them under re
straint while ignorant Of these bette
reasons.

We learn from the Dubuque Herald
that Reuben L. Taylor, was burned
to death ut Suinit Point, South Caro-
lima, the gath Of Dec. Mr.. Taylor with
his wife and daughter were occupy
ing rooms over a store where the fire
originated, and when discovered the
flames had made such progress that
Mr.. Taylor could not get out, while
Mrs. Taylor and daughter jumped
from the second story, both being
badly burned and Mrs. Taylor get
ting broken leg.
The Taylor's will be well remem-
bered by the old settlers of Howard
county. In 1858, they calne from
Vermont to New Oregon, purchasing
the Henry Allen house, next west
from the Elder Windsor house, now
occupied by Walter Mintey. The
Taylors brought with them q large
amount Of solid cash which was loan
ed out at from 20 to SO per cent, up
on real estate in Howard and adjoin-
ing counties. More than 20 years
ago they removed from this county
to Hopkinton, Delaware county,
where they took an active interest in
educational matters. In New Ore.

He Sent Eighty Miles for It.


Milo Page, of San Bernarnino, CAL,
on Sept. Z, writes as follows:
In 1868 was taken with bilious col
ic, being then seventeen years old.
Yearly attacks followed, and at
length they became more frequent.
In 1872. while residing in Oakland, l
suffered severely from this disease,
and was informed by DR.. Pinkerton
that it was chronic and incurable.
While FRUSTRATED by q severe attack
friend induced me to take a large
dose of Walkers Vinegar Bitters,
Old Style. probably four wine glasses
full. In less than half an nour was
free from pain. / followed this up
with three wine-glasses day-oLa,
half au hour before each meal-until
l used up the bottle.
For over seven years | was perfect.

fall of 70 was engaged in mining In
Nevada, and the coarse food | ate

far from any drug store, but ! dis.
patched a courier eighty miles for q
bottle of Vinegar Bitters.
When he returned was unable to
speak, but put the bottle to my lips,
took two swallows, and in twenty
minutes the pain left me. finished
the bottle az before, taking three
doses daily, and for nine years after.
ward / was perfectly free from the
dreaded disease.
A month ago it returned, but try.
ing the old remedy, Vinegar Bitters
was cured, as before.
write this because you do not es
pecially recommend Vinegar Bittert
for bilious collie. Only those who
have suffered the agonies Of this dis
ease, can understand what boon Q
sure cure is, and in Old Style Vinegar
Bitters yon have the best, and per
haps the only real remedy known.
| In reply to Mr.. Page we will say
that Vinegar Bitters cures hundred
of diseases; we have not the space tt
catalogue them, and perhaps if W,
published them those unacquaintet
by experience with our valuable rem
edy might doubt its efficacy still. q
SO many worthless preparations ar,
thrust on the market and pulled il
SO many entravagant ways.
The fact remains, however, tina
those who have been accustomed I,
take Vinegar Bitters for any length
Of time, are hale and hearty. whethe
they are young or old. Those VIII,
doubt and fail to take it are likely t,
fall into all manner of ailments, grca

and New Styles, keep those who tax
them fresh, fair, healthy and young

THE BIBLE IN LITERATURE.

It's Influence Upon tho Home and the Lam
guage Of scholars.
It Is safe 10 say that there Is no other
book which has had 50 great an intlu-
ence upon the literature OF the world as
the Bible. And it is almost as safe-at
least with no greater danger than that
OF starting an instructive discussion
to say that there Is no other literature
which has fe.t this influence 40 deeply
or shown 1t 40 clearly as the English.
The cause Of this latter fact 10 not
far to seek. 1t may be. as q discon-
tented French critic suggests. that It 10
partly due to the Unborn and incorrigi-
Bile tendency Of the Anglo-Saxon mind
to drag religion and morality into
every thing But certainly this tend
ency would never have taken such u
distinctly Biblical form had it not been
for the beauty and vigor Of our COM
mon English version OF the Scriptures.
These qualities were felt by the people
even before they we're praised by the
critics. Apart from all religious pre-
possessions, men and women and chill.
dren were fascinated by the native
power and grace OF the book, The
English Bible was popular. In the
broadcast sense, long before 1t was rec
ognized as one OF our noblest classics. 1t
has colored tho talk Of households and
the street, as we'll as nodded the Ian
guage OF scholars 1t has been some
thing moro than "a we'll OF English un-
defiled;" 1t has become . part Of the
spiritual atmosphere We hear the
echoes of its speech everywhere. and
the music q its familiar phrases haunta
all the fields and groves Of our hne lit.
erature.
1t Is not only to the theologians and
the sermon makers that we look for
biblical illusions and quotations We
often find the very best and most vivid
Of them in writers proiessedly secular.
Poets like Shakespeare. Milton and
Wordsworth; novelists like Scott. and
romancers like Hawthorne; essayist,
like Bacon. Steele and Addison; critics
Of life. unsystematic philosophers. like
Carlyle and Ruskin-all draw upon The
Bible Us treasury OF illustrations. and
use 1t as book equally familiar tx
themselves and to their readers It Il
impossible 10 put too high value upoG
such universal volume, even as /
purely literary possession. Rev. DR.

Com bined for . Common Purpose.


The National Farmers Alliance
and the knights Of Labor, two Of the
strongest labor organizations in the
United States, numbering fully two
million voters, have united upon q
common platform OF principles for
the benefit and relief OF the laboring
and producing classes Of the country.
What they demand is embodied in
the following reasonable measures.
That we demand the abolition Of
national banks and the substitution
Of legal-tender treasury notes in lieu
of national bank notes, issued in SUI
ficient volume to do the business of
the country on cash system: regu-
lating the amount needed on per
capita basis as the business interests
Of the country demands; and that all
money issued by the government
shall be legal tender in payment Of
all debts, both public and private.
III.
That we demand that Congress
shall pass such laws as shall effectu.
ally prevent the dealings in futures
Of all agricultural and mechanical
productions, pursuing stringent
system Of procedure in trials as shall
secure the prompt conviction, and
imposing such penalties as shall sc.
cure the most perfect compliance
with law.
That we demand the free and un.
limited coinage Of silver.
".
That we demand the passage Of
laws prohibiting the alien ownership
Of land and that Congress take early
action to devise some plan to obtain
all land owned by aliens and foreign
syndicates; and that all lands now
held by railroads and other corpora
tions in excess of such as Is actually
used and needed by them be reclaim
ed by the government and held fol
actual settlers only.
v.
Believing in the doctrine Of equa
rights to all and special favors K
none. we demand that taxation, Ma
tional or State. shall not be used *
build up one interest or class at tn,
expense of another. We believe tina
the money of the country should b
kept as much as possible in the hand
of the people, and hence we demand
that all revenues-National. State o.
/ county-shall be limited to the nee
essary expenses Of the government
economically and honestly admins
| tered.
".
That Congress issue O sufflcien
amount Of fractional paper currenc.
to facilitate exchange through til,
medium of the United States Mail.
i VII.
That the means of communication
and transportation shall be controlle,
by and operated in the interest Q
the people, as il the United State
postal syetem.
