The Farnhrm Post Resolutions.

Concerning Farnham Post, of the
Grand Army, about whose resolutions
denouncing the pension system so
much has been said, the Brooklyn
Standard Union says:
"Farnham Post, it has been pointed
out, was largely composed of men,
bers Of the Eleventh New York (Fire
ZOuaves), which regiment was dis,
banded after ten months service, the
government finding that it was IN,
serviceable, being incapable of disci-
pline, insubordinate, and unsoldierly.
Its duty had been confined to garri-
sons after the first Bull Run battle,
and even there pfoyed worthless.
Many of the members are now pen
sioners on the city of New York, or
actual off1ce-holders at good salaries "
The indianapolis Journal thinks
that men with that sort of record
are just those who should denounce
veterans, who served in organizations
making an honorable record, as
coffee coolers, bummers and camp
followers"

ture, regardless Of whether the clerks re-
turns were honest or dishonest. Last
fal dishonest county clerks enthroned q

The supreme court said no such thing
and DR.. McLallin knows It,; knew il
when he penned the internal lie ''the re-
publican supreme court decided that
those certificates entitled the holders to
seats regardless of whether the clerks
returns were honest or dishonest"
If there had been any charges of
fraud by returning boards the supreme
court would have compelled the return
ing boards to reconvene and correct
fraudulent action. and the supreme
court said as much in its decision, but
there were no charges of fraud before the
court; neither has there ever been any
specific charge of fraud made in this con-
nection, nothing but the frothings of
allipop orators and papers which are all
and always generalities.
But, right here it is discovered that
the language used is taken by the Adyo-
cate from the Ottawa Journal. It is all
the same, however; Snow lies and Nc
Lallin copies it prominently, and with
evident approval. 1t is all the same be-
cause they are all liars and depend upon
lies and lies only to sustain their posi-
lions before the people. Let evidence of
fraud in election returns or certificates
find its way to court, any court in Kan
sas, and see how quick action will be
taken.

Pop papers are assuring us that there

to tell only the truth they need not go
to the trouble and expense of publishing

the truth about the matter. They
learned that during the progress of the

heroic idea Of overriding the will of the
people and controlling the state by force
and they failed for want of sand. The

the truth the republicans will be well
satisfied. But they won't tell the truth.

Unjust Taxation.

1t is unjust to tax the stomach with
burthens that it can not bear. Many silly
people thus tyrannize that faithful servi-
tor until it rebels and Furnishes them as
they deserve. Dyspepsia is usually the
child of gastronomic folly, but whether
this or the natural associate of inherent
feebleness from childhood, it is surely
and pleasantly remedlable with Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. the finest and most
highly sanctioned gastric tonic in exist
ence. As a result of the tone impaired to
the stomach, and the increased activity OF
its digestive and assimilative action, in"
sured by the persistent use of this benign
invigorant, general stamina is augmented,
the nerves strengthened and tranquiized,
and tendency to insomnia and hypochon-
driasis defeated. Biliousness, chllls and
