"I WISH YOU HAD SOAP THAT WOULD FLOAT,"
a lady said to a clerk in a large grocery store. "You have no
idea how ordinary soap is wasted. The 'servants let it remain in
the bottoms of the wash-tubs, dish-pans, and scrubbing-pails, and
when the water is poured ofT, the soap has the consistency of mush,
and a new bar must be taken from the box. If the soap would only
float, they would see it, and take it out of the water when they were
through with it." 4
The "Ivory Soap" floats, replied the clerk. Oil will float;
and, as the "Ivory Soap" is made of oils, and is 99 per cent,
pure, as a matter of course it will float.
A WORD OF WARNING.

WASHINGTON LETTER-r
(From our Iwgular Correspondent.)
Wasiiinoton, D. 0. Oct. 8, 1888!
Representative Campbell, of Now
York, says: "Wo nro going lo carry
Now York. Tho Republicans can't do
anything to proont it. ihoy can t
stop it. They don't know wbat I am
talking about when I say that but I
know. Wo don't intend that they
shall know it. Wo will carry tho itato
easy. It wilt bo much mora ngrcenblo
and pleasant if wo can havo a union

City. We can pavo about 200,000 by
it, and that raonoy can go into Indiana
or somowhero clso. 1 think wo shall
unite on tho mayor, but I don't know
who it will bo.
Tho Republicans aro certainly hard
up for campaign material when thoy
attompt, as they aro doing, to mako
tho tmblin bellevo that Gen. Bcnet,
Chief of Ordanco U. S. Army, has
been violating tho oivil-scrvico law by
issuing a political circular. The circu
lar in que-.tion was Bent to tho com
mandants of arsenals and armories in
1880, and was strictly in tho lino of
civil service reform, ai it instructed tho
various commanders to so reculato cm
ploying and discharging of employes
as to divulo them about equally be
tween' tho two parties, in other words,
Gen. Bcnet wanted tho employes of
the War Department to bo non-partisan.
Tho army officer in chargo of tho
Washington aqueduct, which has been
so fraudulently built, is a hold-over
from tho Arthur administration. Mr.
Cleveland had nothing to do with his

Chandler proposing an investigation
into the lato Slate election. Mr. Gib
son called attention ro tho fact that no
citizen of Louisiana had over petitioned
to have this invest gation made. He
also alluded to' tho fact, which has be
come notorious, of there investigations
always being proposed just bofore an
important Congressional or Presiden
tial election is to be held. In tho last
allusion the Senator struck at the heart
of tho bloody shirt business. It is al
ways brought to tho front just bofore
election time in tho hope that it will
help to arouse sectional feelingin tho
North and mako votes for tho Republi
can party.
Tho House Judiciary Committeo is
considering tho subject of trusts with a
view of taking all the various bills
which have been introduced on tho
subject and perfecting therefrom one
bill so framed as to avoid Constitu
tional and other objections. It is a big
task, but tho members of the oommitteo
hopo to bo able to accomplish it.
Tho House has bad no quorum for a
week, and it is extremely doubtful if it
has one again before election. No
business can be done without unani
mous consent.
Senator Sherman's Canadian resolu
tion has been reported to tho Senate
and plascd on tho calendar, and a state
ment mado that it would not bo pushed
to a vote at the present session. This
statement by Sherman will bo made an
excuse for choking off tho Houso
Canadian Retaliation bill.
Representative Stahlnecker, of Now
York, was honorably acquitted of tho
charges preferred against him by R"p
resentative Kelley in connection with
tho new Congressional Library Build
ing. The vote of tho committee was

by Representative Blount, of Georgia,
in a speech last week on a bill to in
crease tho salary of tho Superintendent
and providing for an assistant superin
tendent. In 1870 mails wero carried
over 70,000 miles of railroad; in 1887
they weio carried over 107,000 miles.
In 1870 the number of pieces of mail
matter handled by postal clerks was
2,059,000; in 1887 it had increased to
5,851,000.

Owing to tho conditional illness of
ScnatorBeck, there has been some de

The Republican Parly Hauls Down It
Dag.
Tho announcement officially made,
as wo print clsowhcre, that tho rcnub
lican party will not discuss the Tariff
bill at this session ot Congress. "Tho
demand for a mcasuro of somo kintl
from tho republicans," wo aro inform
cd, "is a just ono and will bo met by
tho Scnato. At tho samo timo that
legislativo body will frankly say to tho
pnblio in their report that more timo is
needed and raoro testimony solicited.
In this way tho proposed mcasuro can
uu mouuieu nua injusiiuo to cituor la
bor or capital avoided. The renubli
can party cannot afford to act hastily
in this matter." "Let a tentative bill
bill bo presented and then refer tho
whole matter back to tho Financo
Cbmmittu.
Smco swindling and falsehood havo
beoomo depraved forms M human in
genuity thcro has been no exhibition
so marked as tho republican course on
tho tariff. Almost a year has elapsed
Binoo tho i'rcsident called tho attention
of Congress to tho surplus as an evil
threatening tho nation s credit. Tho
democrats worked out a remedy in the
Mill bill. Tho country expected tho
republicans to lollow tucir example
and Congress decided between tho
plans. When tho rumor oamo that no
serious discussion of tho tariff was in
tended by tho republicans, that Mr.
Blaine and Mr. Quay had so advised,
this was denied with indiguation. But
rumor was well informed.
If tho republicans wero in earnest
their tariff bill should havo been ready
as soon as tho Mills bill. Thoy bad
as much timo as tho democrats, and
knew their own mind quite as well.
But they wished no bill, and so, after
falsehood, delay, promises, misropro
sentations, pretending to examine, lako
testimony and inquire, we aro officially
told thero will bo no bill. "Tho re
publican party cannot afford to act
hastily in this matter."
Why should tho republican party
act hastily? Tho monopolists are in
power. .Labor bears tho burdens.
Die drnegics amass mammoth incomes,
tho result of oppressive imposts. The
tariff suits tho oppressor. It is a vest
ed interest, liko tho land; sacred, like
tho Crown and tho Established
Church. If ton years aro to be con
sumed in "discussing" a new tariff meas
ure, it will mean ten more fof tho mou-
opolisls to enjoy their plunder.
So on this tariff question tho repub
lican party hauls down its flag. There
is an end of that comedy. And on tho
business of retaliation against Canada
Mr. Sherman likewise hauls down tho
flag. Retaliation might hurt Port
land, Me., as "Canada's winter port,"
and that would nover do. For under
this blessed republican domination tho
wholo country may shiver or burn pro
vided no harm comes to the slightest
Yankee interest.
Tho flag is hauled down. Mr.
Blaine's orders havo been obeyed.
Tho pretence which has held Congress
together nntil autumn namely, that
thero would bo an honest voto on tho
tariff was a fraud. The republicans
never meant to act-
But tho people may have something
to say, and tho more clearly they und
erstand tho natuio of this barefaced
fraud tho moro emphatio will bo tho
response in November. Neie York

Big Checks for New York Taxes.
October 1 was tho last day for pay-

GENESIS AND GEOLOGY.
When wo find that In noturo and
Scrlpturo that does not seem to corre'
spond, wo must reconcile nature lo
Scrlpturo. Wo must accept tho Biblo
as tno umno word, and in case wo find
that which wo cannot possibly reconcile
wo must bo satisfied to know that it is
boyond our comprehensions. It is not
proposed to explain tho wholo subject
ot uencsis, out Bimply to show as well
as may be, tho agreement between tho
account of the creation, by Moses, and
the testimony given by tho rocks. God
created the hoavens and tho earth, and
all that therein is, in six days. AVo aro
not to supposo that tlitBO days wero
only twenty-four hours long. Thero
was then no division of timo, and if
thcro had bscn, as thero is now, whore
aro thoso days to bo measured ! At
tho poleB, whero thoy aro six months
long or at tho equator whet o thoy aro
but twelve hours in length t It is
generally held by scicntifio men that
tho word day as uod here, means
period, and judging from tho forma
tion of tho different rocks and strata
that enter into the composition of tho
earth, thoy hold that these periods
wero from 1900 to 4000 years in length.
Ono of tho strongest proofs of this
fast is, that many of tho shells which
live on tho sea coast, and not a few of
tho species of wild animals that still
roam over tho land were In oxistonco
many thousands of years beforo the
creation of man.
DESCUIITION OK THE GEOLOGICAL FOR
MATION OK EAItTII.
Embedded m tho cruet of tho earth
aro frequently found animals belonging
to oxtinct species. Most of these ani
mals aro remarkable for their immenso
size. During this ancient timo tho
Northern Mammoth lived in great
abundance, also tho hippopotamus, and
two species of rhinoceros, and though
they have all ceased to exist, wo know
that the descendants of somo of their
cotemporaries, (.uch as thd badger, the
fox, wild cat, and red deer, still livo
amid our hills and brakes. Tho trees
t' o under which thoy roamed, and
whoso remains wo find buried in tho
samo crust wero of speoies that still hold
ineir place as aboriginal trees of the
country. lor many ages must tho old
extinct elephant havo roamed amid
these trees. From ono limited tract of
sea-bottom on tho coast of England,
mo nsnerman engaged in dredging
oysters, brought ashoro in 13 years no
fewer than 2000 elephants' grinders,
besides great tusks, and portions of
skeletons. Remains of this anoient
elephant occur all around tho globe, in
a oroad belt, about au degrees in width,
(t must havo taken ages to procure bo
many oi iuuho mammotn ammais. y e
will speak of tho animals of this period
again. l,ot us now glance at tho
question as to whether the revelations
of the scienco of Geology may be
reconciled with tho Scripture account
of the creation. It has been already
explained that tho days referred to aro
periods of long duration. There are
six of these periods, but Geology is
callod upon to prove but three of them,
viz : The period of plants, of great sea
monsters and creeping things, and tho
period of cattle and beasts. Of the
poriod during which light was created,
of tho period during which a firmament
was mado to separate tho waters from
tho watois, or of tho period during
whioh tho two great lights with tho
other head bodies became visiblo from
tho earth, tho rooks will give,us no in
formation. Tho principal geological
divisions aro tho first, or oldest fossil
bearing division, tho secondary, or
nuauie, ana mo tertiary, or latest. In
tho first wo find corals, fishes, a fow
reptiles. But that which gives the
leading characteristic to this period i
its vegetation. It was tho period of
plants, "of herbs yielding seed, after
their kind." In no other ago was thero
ever such a flora. The youth of tho
earth was peculiarly a green and shady
youth. A youth ot dark and tangled
forests, of hugo pines, tho tall tree-fern
and many others. Every foot of tho
dark and steaming soil was covered
with tho most rank and luxuriant
herbage. Of this extraordinary age of
plants wo havo our cheerful witnesses
iu tho flames that was in our chimneys
when wo fill up the winter fire, in the
gas that lights our .cities, in tho glow
ing furnaces that smelt our metals, in
tho long dusky trains that, witli shriek
and snort, speed rapidly across our
continent, and iu tho great vessels that
rush in foam over tho ocean. This is
tho period of tho coal formation, tho
geological ovidonce is completo na to
tho fact that the first gnat period of
organized being was peculiarly, as de
scribed in tho Mosaio record, a period
of plants and trees. Tho middlo period
possessed, liko ttio tirst one. Us herbs
and plants, but not nearly of so luxur
iant a growth. Tho grand existences

Thero is another period called tho
Azoic, beforo animal life was created,
when tho temperaluro of tho earth's

This is tho lowest stratum found.

the earlier, part of this period of ox
ccssive heat, tho waters of tho ocean
had stood at the boiling point oven at
tho surface, and farther that tho half
molten metal crust stretched out over
a molten abysj, was bo thin that it
could not support, savo for a short

which waves of enormous bulk would
roll outwards, to moot in conflict with
tho gtant wavos of other convulsions or
return to hiss and mutter against the
heated mass, whoso violent upheaval
had first elevated and sent them abroad.
Such would bo tho probable state of
things during tho times buried deep in
that chaotio night whioh must havo
continued to exist for many ago- after
that beginning of things in which God
created tho heavens and the earth, and
which preceded tho first day. Within
the cloud spoken of all would havo
seemed thick darkness to a human oyo.
At length, however as tho earth's sur-
faco gradually cooled down, the steam
atmosphere becamo loss denso and at
length tho rays of tho sun struggled
through in obtdienco to tho divine
mandate, "Let thero be light." But
space will not permit us to take up
each day separato'.y. Tho work of tho
second and third days as given by
Moses aro confirmed by tho testimony
of the rocks. On tho fourth day tho
sun moon and stars appear. Thoy
wero probably created before. Tho
fifth and sixth days that of great sea
monsters and winged fowl, and that of
oattlo and beasts of tho earth belong
ia mm Bituuuury punuu, ann tno ter
tiary, in which the gigantic mammals
possessed tho earth. Man belongs to
tho closo of this latter period. It was
for him that the earth had been under
going through so many ages tho
changes that had come over it. All
theso were to fit it for man's habitation.
In cither of the previous periods mail
ooulj not have lived. The atmosphere
that surrounded the globe would "have
been instantaneously fatal to him. But
it was ready to receive him, and he
was created by God, in his own imarru
cieated ho him, and with man's appear-
ance ou too soeno tno days ot creation
ond, and the Divine Sabbath begins,
that Sabbath of rest from creation
labor of which tho proper work is tho
moral development and elevation of
tho species, pnd which will terminate
only with the full completion of that
Bublimo task on tho full accomplish
ment of which God's eternal purposes
and tho tendenciea of man's progressive
nature aro aliko directed. The sixth
day of creation is thus described by
Hugh Miller, a celebrated writer on
tho testimony of tho rocks.
"Again tho night descends, for tho
5th day has closed, and morning breaks
on the sixth and last day of creation.
Cattle and beasts of tho fields graze
on tho plains, the thick skinned
rhinoceros wallows iu tho marshes ;
the squat hippopotamus rustles among
tho reeds, or plunges sullenly into the
river, great herds of elephants seek
their food among the young herbage
of tho woodp j whilo animals of fiercor
nature tho lion tho leopard and tho
bear, harbor in deep caves until tho
evening, or Ho in wait for their prey
mid tangled thickets, or beneath somo
broken bank. At length as tho day
wanes, and tho shadows lengthen,
man, the responsible lord of creation,
found in God's own image, is introduced
upon tho sccno, and tho work of creation
ceases forever upon tho earth. Tho
night falls once moro upou tho prospect
and then dawns yet another morrow,
the morrow of God's rest, that Divino
Sabbath in whioh thero h no moro
creative labor, and which "blessed and
sanctified'' boyond all tho days that had
gono beforo, has as its speoial object
the moral eloyalion and refinement of
man, and oyer it no evening is repre
sented in the record as falling, for its
special work is not yet completo:"
Suoh seems to have bron tho sublime
panorama that passed beforo tho vision
of "The shephard who first taught tho
chosen seed in tho beginning how tho
uuavens ana oartn rose out of chaos."
And rightly understood, it seems
that thero is not a Binglo scientific
truth that, not only nccords with, but
confirms tho minutest of tho details of
tho creation as given us by Moses.

Dyspepsia-
Makes tho lives of many people miser

Wo know of no remedy for dys

Satsaparilla, It acts gently, yet sure

feeling, creates a good oppetite, cures

trial. It will do you good.
The Whlteohapel Murders-
i For somo weeks past tho city of
London lmi bcon in great consternation
oyor a rories of rctnarkablo murders
that havo taken placo in what is known
as Wliltchap,el, ono of tlio lowest quar
ters of tho city. A number of women
havo bcon found with their bends and
arms missing, and their boweU pro.,
trading from cuts in tho abdomen.
All bear tho samo maiks and tho mur
ders aro evidently porpotrated by tho
samo person. A recent dispatch fro.ii
London says,
Sinco last Sunday tho evening papers
havo been busy conlr dieting stories
of tho morning papers about tho
Whitoahapel murders, and tho next
day's morning papers havo returned
tho compliment in kind. Except that
mutilated bodies havo been found anil
identified no fact throwing light upon
tho deed or tho murde'reiH has trans
pired. Tho Jieming Newt which has
been tho greatest manufacturer of in
cidents, rumors of arrests, eta, is com
pelled to say this ovening:
"Matters stand now, as far as tho
murders aro concerned, just whero thoy
did on Sunday last, and it is safo to
stato that not tho faintest evideuco
likely to lead to detection and arrest
has bcon forthcoming. At tho present
moment thcro is not ono person unler
detention."
Doubtless somo of the sensational
and groundless talcs havo been cabled
across tho ocean. Nevertheless, thoy
aro tho rumors and' concoctions of fan
ciful reporters.
lhe reign of terror that has held un
disputed sway iu tho East End sinco
Sunday oontinncs with unabated force.
Popular excitement and Indignation as
timo goes on seems to bo intensifying,
and tho public and police aliko aro bo
ooming more and more determined to
unearth tho miscreant, who doubtless
still haunts tho scenes of his Dondish
deeds.
Exasperation pcrvados all classes of
society in the East End, and should
tho murderer fall into tho clutches of
tho Wt itechapol crowd it will result
in an outburst which it would bo dilll
cult for the polico to control and per
haps givo Englishmen no longer a
chance to arraign American vigilantes
or .mage juyncii.
iho JSow York World says:
Tno fact that all tho victims of tho
Whlteohapel murderer aro abandoned
women who prowl in tho streets at
night indicates that his maniacal rage
is directed against them as a class, and
against them only. He may havo
suffered through one or moro of them
griefs that havo taken away his reason.
His wife or his daughter may havo
found her way to their ranks. Or ho
may havo fallen through his . own dis
solute courses ano havo boen strippod
of fortune, respectability and health
until all hopo vanished and a consum
ing crazo tor revenge took its placo.
It oaunot bo supposed that anv
rational being would undertako such ,a
career of murder and mutilation as "is
pursued in this case. It may bo that
tbo deep cunning involved in escaping
detection could not bo exercised by a
man in tho full possession of 'sano fears
and hopes. Tho unfaltering determin
ation evin cd could only co-exist with
an absolute indifference to conse
quences which is not compatible with
sanity. And the mama of tho murder
er must conuno itself to one vent,
othorwiso ho would Bpeedily bo run
down.
Tho London police como in for much
censuro and derision for their failure
to arrest tho culprit; but thero aro men
in Scotland Yard who aro far from be
ing fools. It would be well to suspend
judgmont concerning them until this
strangest of chapters in tho history of
crimo is closed.
Log Cabin Logic.
Brawn and Brain !

The main thing in keeping tho hu

to keep tho regulator all right. "Tho
