No Whiskey!
Brown's Iron Bitters
is one of the very few tonic
medicines that are not com
posed mostly of alcohol or
whiskey, thus becoming a
fruitful tiource of intemper
ance by promoting a desire
for rum.
Brown's Iron Bitters
is guaranteed to be a non
intoxicating stimulant, and
it will, in nearly every case,
take the place of all liquor,
and at the same time abso
lutely kill the desire for
whiskey and other intoxi
cating beverages.
Rev. G. W. Rice, editor of
the American Christian AV
viav, says of Urown's Iron
Bitters:
Cin.,0.,Nov, ifi, iSSi.
(Jenls : The foolish wait
ing of ital force in Imsineas,
pleasure, ami vicious imlul
gence of our people, makes
your preparation a necessity;
and if applied, will save hun
dreds who resort to s.ilooiu
for temporary recuperation.
Brown's Iron Bitters
has been thoroughly tested
for dyspepsia, indigestion,
biliousness, weakness, debil
ity, overwork, rheumatism,
neuralgia, consumption,
liver complaints, kidney
troubles, &c, and it never
fails to render speedy and
permanent relief.

sue with Mr. Garfield's exultant boast
that the influence of Jefferson is on the
wane in our political system.
Young Black was admitted to the
bar of Somerset, but never practiced
mueli. showintr earl v inclination toward
journalism and other forms of literary
work. P rom tlio tuncot ucir.imincr his
law studies he wrote for various journ
als on a wide- range of topics, doing a
vast amount ot etiecttve political work,
for which he had trained himself by
profound study of the fathers of the
Kepublm. Jcltcrsou found in mm an

and tho Hamilton'mi thcorie encount

Study of the constitution aud of the
discussions .over its adoption and con

lacy, and with the growth of ideas lie
recognized that they who had founded
our institutions had buildcd wiser than
they knew, formulating a system which
could be practicably and profitably ap
plied to every question that arose.
HIS I.AI10HS IK JOUItNAI.laSI.
Sinco 1873 Mr. Black has been more
closely and continuously identified with
the journalism ot the country with
drawing temporarily from it since his
candidacy and nomination for lieiitcn
int governor. In this period he has
been uninterruptedly an editorial con
tributor to the Now Yoik Sun and
other prominent journals of the country,
his facilo pen beinir devoted to
no special ratigu of subjects, and often
wandering into the more graceful linen
of literature, in which his creations are
as delicate nnd his fancies as tender as
his fitlininations are vigorous and ef
fective when hulled at political evils.
The geniality and native humor of his
tcmperamdnt, which mako him a social
favorite wherever he is known, unmis
takably manifest themselves in his liter
ary work, but the sturdy Anglo Saxon
and virile thought of his editorial ex
pression make it recognizable through
almost any disguise.
Against the evils ot mouoiiolv ami
the pretensions of corporations to be
above, the law of the land, to the ser
vice of the common people aud a just
appreciation of the rights and dignity
ot labor, to the extirpation of bossism
and the overthrow of the spoils system,
against eoiruption in administration,

foe, nnd for frugality in public expeudi-
UK'h, his pen has always been enlisted

AT iiomi:.
Ill 1803 Mr. Black was married to
tho daughter of tho late Hon. John L.
IJawson, whose home was at 1'iiindshiji
Hill, Fayette county the former resi
leuce ot Albert dallatiu, ami the pres-
ut residence of Mr. Dawson's widow,
which is still in the ownership of Mrs.
Black's family. Mr. Dawson repiesent
tho (then) XXI district in Congress'
with great distinction. Ho was in
reality the father of the Homestead law
low in torce. Ul tlio lour children at
'Willow ihidges," the threo hoys illus
trato their distinguished lineage by the
names Jeremiah Sullivan, John L Daw
sou and Chauncey Foi waid, oud Mr.
Black's eldest child and only daughter
is growing into stately womanhood.
Possessed in eminent degree of tlioe
ti reside virtues which aio tlio best quali
ties of public mou, Mr, Black has so
cial accomplishments which make him
extremely popular with his acquaint
ances, upon his nomination he leeeiv
ed tho hearty congratulations of his
neighbors and assurances of their sup
port regardless of parly, because of the
warmth of feeling which his pcisoual
characteristics havo awakened for him.
No local interest fails to engage his
sympathy and his farmer friends and
neighbors nro accustomed to count him
among thoso who regard their agiicul
tural concerns with community ot inter
eat. He was ono of tho charter mem
of .Springettsbury Grange, No. 79, or-
gamzed in Spring Garden township,
ork county, Pa., January I, 1871, by
It. H. lhoinas, hioto Secretary. He

IN POLITICS.
Mr. Black, though a student of noli
ties, lias never fdiletl to take a labor
ing oar in tlio practical woik of cam
migiis. jJCBiuci i ne engagement ol
lis pen for effective work in many
quiii ters, ho has been heard upon the
stump year after year, aud a number
of the later platforms of tho Democrat
io State Convention aro accredited to
DAY, SEPTEMBER
his authorship. In 1879 he represented
York county in the State convention,
and in 18 SO he was one of the dele
gates from that Congressional district
to the Cincinnati convention, voting
on the first ballot for Judge Field and
on the second for General Hancock.
Pi ior to the late State convention, from
the time his nomination for Lieuten
ant Governor was first broached, tho
suggestion was received with popular
favor, and he was chosen by a largo
majority on tho first ballot. The se
lection was ratified most heartily not
only by the Democratic press of
Pennsylvania but bv many journals of
large inlliiencc outside tho Statu.
IMS POLITICAL PltlNCU'IXS.
From his youth up Mr. Black has
been a supporter of those Democratic
principles which he comes to by inher
itance and holds by intelligent convic
tion. With ready pen and eloquent
tongue he has steadily maintained them
for over twenty years. In all his ut
terances and writings they never found
abler nor more fitting expression than in
hisreeent successful effort to revive the
Jeffersouian societies and extend tho
study of Jeffersouian principles. To
this patriotic task ho has applied him
self not because of any retrospective
tendency of his mind, nor by reason of
any failuro to profoundly appreciate
tho spirit of true progressiveness and
to adapt himself and his political priu
ciples to the wonderful development of
our national lifo. He holds that in the
Jeffersouian philosophy aro tlio germs
of all political progress.
In the system originated and declar
ed by thosu illustrious men who settled
our free institutions and founded the
Democratic party to preserve them, ho
discovers ceitain fundamental princi
ples by which all later day issues may
bo fairly tested, and departure from
which can only be safely ventured up
on when it has been determined to
subvert the principles of the fathers.
Till: JIU'FiatSONIAN SOCIUTIKS.
It w'll bo remembered that in secur
ing their rights from British tyranny
anil afterward in preserving them from
insidious enemies at home, Jefferson
and his compatriots of the revolution
always trusted in the power of popular
association, in committees of vigilance
and libei ty clubs. The evils which
they wcru organized to uproot aud the
dangers which they averted aro thus
graphically pointed out in an address
of the Jeifersonian Society of York, j
Pa., of which Mr. Black is President :
"How did tho Republicans of that
day faeu and avert tho first grand con
spiracy to destroy tho republic T By
tho establishment, wherever possible,
of what wero called 'Democratic So
cietiis,' in which tho people met, dis
cussed tho designs of their enemies.con
trivt'd the means of defeating them,
encouraged each other in the good fight
for liberty, and directed and concentra
ted public opinion so as to make it
most effectual. Thoso societies wero
mighty engines in tho politics of that
gloomy peiiod. Their iiitlueuce was
widespiead and irresistible. They
spoke the voice of tho people and made
ii respected. The result was tho com
plete overthrow of the federal party j
the sullen abandonment of the dark
schemes of the 'monocrats;' thu election
of JelTcisnu and thu putting of the
'ship of statu on her Republican track
again.' They 'saved thu constitution,'
to usu the expiession of Jefferson
at the last gasp.' "
APPLICATION TO MODKliN POLITICS.
Am', applying thu same remedy to
existing conditions, this address, writ
ten by Air. Black proceeds :
"W ill not the siimo means bo equaljy
elfeetive now f There can bo no doubt
of it. Imagine Jefferson Democratic
Associations established at convenient
points in every district, wherein intelli
gent Democrats might meet to discuss
tho affairs of tho country, to express to
each other iho dangerous character of
tho measures with which we aro threat
ued, and to notify by resolution, by
adduss, or by deputies, to their fellow
Uumociats and to tho public, their
opinions and their will I What power
ot perverted government, of patronage,
of monopoly, of eoiruption, however
combined o'r inaiiieuvered by greed
and ambition, could withstand thu
thunders of the popular clubs 1"
Again : "It is beyond measure im
portant that tho Democratic party, bu
ing tho party of tho peoplo, should bo
Managed for the people, and not by

THE .TI'.lTllltSON AND HAMILTON SVSTP.MS.
How admirably thoso Jeffersouian
principles may bo npplied to modern
politics is illustrated by tho following
extract from Mr. Black's famous paper
entitled : "A Conttast JelTnrson and
Hamilton Demncrauy and Federalism
1800-1881 The Same Parties and
the Simo Principles A plain Question!
Shall the Peoplo Rule, or shall thoy be
ruieuf puijiisiieu in iNowsork on
July 4, 1881. In that ho says:
"Mr. Jefferson's sovereign cure for
all tho ills of the Stato was tho intro
duction of the most rigid economy; a
irugai government is seldom coirunt
and never oppressive. "He cut down
the great military and naval establish
ments bequeathed by the Federalists as
rapidly as the law permitted, and final
ly, wi,h the aid of Congress, reduced
the army to about threo thousand men.
which wcro all that an honest govern-
nient had anv use fr. Ho reduced tho
diploma ic force to tho threo Ministers
at London, Pans and Madrid. Ho
dismissed unnecessary officials as fast
as investigation disclosed their ex
istence. Ho directed Gallatin to sim
plify the Treasury statements and
accounts, so as to render them in
telligible to the plainest citizen, and
invited every aid in the work of re
form. The whole system of internal
taxation, including three-fourths of tho
whole civil list, was abolished at a
blow, and tho deficiency supplied by
Jefferson's invariable oxpedient, econ
omy. ' When ho had exhausted his
discretion he appealed to Congress for
authority to make further reductions,
and tho curious spectaclo was present
ed of an Excutivo petitioning tho Leg
islature for permission to surrender
power and to give up patronage. The
result was tho rapid decrease of tho
public debt, which tho Federalists had
regarded as a 'national blessing,' and
the rise of a now question, now, indeed,
in every part of the earth, 'What
should bo dono with the surplus." Of
this government, in truth, tho peoplo
knew nothing but tho blessings ; its
burdens wero imperceptible. This
was 'the system of Jefferson.' It was
faithfully continued under his lineal
descendants, Madison and Monroe,
and has never, for an instanl of time,
ceased to command tho deliberate ap
proval of the American people. If it
has been displaced by corrupt adminis
trations, thoy have never yet dared to
go to tho country upon their Federal
ist principles. They have uniformly
disguised their measures, denied their
purposes, and ridden into power upon
false pretenses."
110SSISM AND THU SPOILS SVSTHM.
At a time when relief from tho boss
system and tho enforcement of admin
istrative reform aro thu ruling political
issues, what more fitly meets popular
wants than these principles from the
Jeffersouian system, as expounded by
iur. DiacK :
"Supremo confidence in the virtue
and intelligence of thu people, and im
plicit obedienco to their will when
legally oxpressed.
'An honest administration of tho
government, which implies not merely
a just application of the publio moneys
to the public service, but a faithful ob
servance of the limitations of tho Con
stitution. Of applicants for ofiico
three questions only need bo asked; 'Is
ho honest?' 'Is ho capable?' 'Is ho
faithful to tho Constitution?'
"A number of officials sufficient for
tho transaction of tho public business:
n. supernumeraries to cat out tho sub-
slauce of the people."
I.UIKKAI, AND AU01IESS1VH DKMOCKAOV.
His close study of this Jellersonian
ystem necessarily makes Mr. Black au
uncompioniising opponent of excessive
legislation, extravagance, corruption,
neeiuess taxation ana expenditure, ring
government, bossism and tho spoils
system. All of his journalistic work
lias been directed against these evils
which independent and thoughtful
men of all parties now denounce and
condemn.
His broad and liberal viows of the
present canvass aro tho natural out-
cmio ot his political training. These
lews were expressed in the following

A Rabbinical Legend.
1. And it came to pass when Solo
mon, the son of David, had finished
the Temple nt Jerusalem, that he pre
pared a feast for his chief Craftsman
and artificers, and spread the tables
with the fatness of the land, and with
the wino nnd coro and oil thereof.
2. And the seat of tho King was
apart on a laised dais facing the head
of thu table, and the two famous pil
lars of broiizo with their beautiful cap
itals of lillies, pomegranates and deli
cate network stood, one on his right
hand and the other on his left, nnd tho
lintel thereof was as.a canopy over tho
head of tho King.
3. And Solomon had also prepared
a seat of honor, and set it on his right
hand, ready for thai Craftsman who
might bo pronounced most worthy
among all who wrought in building the
house ot the J.ord.
1. And when all was ready ho call-
ed unto his chief architects and master
overseers, and tho head artificers, who
wero cunning workers in gold and sil
ver, in broiizo anil ivorv, and in wood
and stone, yea, all who had labored in
building the Temple of the Most High,
and he said unto them :
"Come now with me and partako
of the feast which 1 have prepared.
Stretch foith your hands. Eat, drink
and bo merry. The skilled artificer is
worthy of honor. Is not tho laborer
worthy of his hire ? Muzzle not tho
ox that treadeth out tho corn upon the
threshing lloor.
0. And when Solomon and his
guests had arrived at tho place of tho
feast thoy beheld a man clad in the
garb and covered with tho soil of labor
eated in tho chair of honor not yet
awarded. And tho King waxed wroth
and said :
"What manner of man art thou ?
Why cotnest thou thus unseemly and
unbidden to our feasl, whero nonu aro
invited savo the chief workers on tho
Temple ?"
And tho man answered and said :
"Please you, I came not unbidden.
Was it not praclaimcd that this day
tho chief workmen of the Temple dine
with tho King. Therefore am I
come.
And when the man had thus spoken,
the guests talked with each other, and
ho who carved the cherubim spako
aloud and said :
"This fellow is no sculptor. I know
him not.'"
And ho who inlaid the roof with puro
gold said :
"Neither is ho ot those who work in
fined metals."
And ho who wrought in raising the
walls said:
"He belongs not with thoso who are
cutters of stone."
And ono who labored in shaping the
timbers for the roof said :
We who are cunning in cedar wood,
and know tlio mystery of joining
strange timbers together, know him not.
lie is not of us.
Then said King Solomon :
"How sayst thou now? Wherefore
should I not have thco plucked by the
beard, scourged with a scourger and
stoned with stones even unto death ?"
Rut tho man was nowiso daunted,
and he rose from his seat, and came to
where the wine was set, and took a cup
of the wine and raised it high and
pako aloud, saying : "O King! live
forever !'' Then ho drank long until
the cup was emptied."
tin now returned to the seat and
pako to llu; guests who hail rebuked
uui, ami said unto the chief ot thu car
ers of stone :
"Who tnado the instruments with
which vou carve?"
And ho answered : The Blacksmith."
And to the chief of tho workers of
wood ho said :
Who made the tools with which
you felled the cedars of Lebanon and
shaped them into pillars and roof for
the Temple?"
And he also answered : "The Black
smith." Then ho spako unto the artificer in
gold and ivory and precious stones,
saying:
"Who fashioned tho instruments
with which you wrought beautiful orna
ments for my lord tho King?"
And he, too, made answer the same,
"The Blacksmith."
Then said tho man to Solomon :
'Behold, 0 King ! I am he whom,
when men deride, they call Blacksmith,
but when they would honor me, thoy
call mo tho Son of the Forge. These
Craftsmen say truly that I am not of
them. 1 am their superior. Without
my labor first, their labor could not be.
lhe great 1 ubal Cam, whom all men
honor, taught thoso who in turn taught
mo my handicraft, and thu mighty Vul
can, who wrought in lire and smoko
and sweat as I do. Was it deemed fitt-
ng ho should have even the Queen of
Beauty to wifo ?"
"boil ot tho Porge, said Solomon,
I, too, honor thee, thou worth v succes
sor of the great maBter, Tubal Cain.
Take thou this Kuat at my right hand,
prepared ior the most woithy. U is
thvdue."
Thus it came to pass at the feast of
Solomon, tho wise King of Israel, and
from that tune forth tho Smiths wero
leid in nigh esteem, and greatly
in-
creased and multiplied in nil lands.
