to speak; that is to say, they are close

STIRRED HER UP.-Virginia Trespass
tells this:


A miner, stopping at one of the boarding
and lodging houses, between Taylor street
and the Divide. was troubled a good deal
by bed bugs, and resolved to start the land
lady after them. She contended that there
were no bugs in the house-she had never
seen one in her room, nor felt one; but that
didn't satisfy our lodger, as he didn't occupy
the same room, and was positive there was
at least quart OF bugs in close proximity
to his bed. He procured a small bottle, and
began to catch and bottle bed-bugs He
persevered until he had caught and corked
up several dozen ofthe pesterifereos inescts;
and after keeping the poor things cooped
until they were nearly starved, slipped into
the landlady's room one evening and de-
posited the contents of the bottle under the
old woman's pillow. 1t is unnecessary to
say that she made it " mighty hot for bed
bugs about that house the next day. The
miner says he never saw such relentless war

among the people, may be such as to leave
no margin whatever for the extinguishment
of the least part of national debt. This is
unquestionably the case under Radical rule
in the United States After furnishing the
revenue demanded for the support of the most
profigate government on the face of the
earth, the people at large barely get of with
their skins, while thousands upon thousands
of them are not even so fortunate as that,
growing worse off as they do from year to
year.


The Commercial concludes its argument by
saying "When we are warned by partisan
spokesmen that our people have got fastened
to their necks a milestone so heavy that it will
crush the labor and the capital Of the country,
we desire that the plain facts as to the rela-
tive amount of our debt and credit should
appear" Nothing is clearer than the relation
established by Radical policy between the
national debt and the national credit The price
of United States bonds, II cents on the dollar,
is an infalhble index. In other words, Radical
policy causes the national debt to be about
thirty per cent. in excess of the national
credit, . and to that extent the government is
| reduced by Radical policy to insolvency.

debt is not in itself heavy burden for such a

within the last few days. 1t is no passionate

of wrongs hitherto patiently suffered and of
anxieties and perplexities which at length
