VT 1 1 ittsis ior eacn iumoer 01 llie j MAGIC CITY I Senator Hill, catering to the most powerful political and financial in fluence of this country, declared upon the floor of the Senate that the in come tax feature of the tariff bill is intended to make the Democratic party the tail of the populist kite. Whether Democratic prospects are benefitted or injured will depend more upon what is said and done by the party as a party than upon the length or brevity of the present session of Congress. We might also add that tilings left undone that should be done, and things done that should not be done, may seriously affect Dem ocracy for better or for worse between this and next election. It seems that Coxey, the pious captain of the Commonweal army, has a continuous fluctuation from feast to famine as he goes marching on. If subjected to harsh treatment at one point he is reported as being feasted and in a measure lionized at the next. Its pretty hard to tell just what the effect of the Coxey move ment upon the Capitol will have until the advance guard gels out of jail. THE AMBIQUuUS BAKEK BALLOT LAW. Among the ill effects resulting from the ambiguity of the 36 sections of the Baker Ballot Law are the many misunderstandings fron the opening of the polls clear through to the re turn of the judges from making their returns at the county seat. At McKeesport, for instance, the sovereign power wanted to witness the count of the votes, and being denied this sacred privilege, they proceeded to assert their power by breaking the door down while the election board was in executive session piously count ing off. Upon being prosecuted for this undue outburst of patriotism, the grand jury ignored the bill and inform ed all concerned that these sovereigns were acting entirely within their rights as citizens ; that they had legal right to be present (outside the guard rail) and within sight, and hearing of the election board, until the very last vote was counted. This right is not only clearly conveyed by the law, but it should be fondly caressed by the sov orign power, ih its zealous care for a secret ballot and an honest count. Considering the fact that you can screw the whole top off of the Baker Ballot box when it is loaded and sup posed to be locked and securely seal ed, it is all the more imperative that somebody watches the ballots go in the refrigerator. We mention this fact because we want to advertise it in the interest of the sovereign power. Up through the centre ot the Baker ballot-box runs an innocent iron rod upon the end of which a thread is cut. Just turn the top of the box so that the thread on this rod catches on, or uncatches just as you wish and you have it locked or unlocked at pleasure. You can do all this without touching a lock or breaking a seal, for thay only lock and seal the little apertute through which the ballots are dropped into the box The whole top of the box, locks and all, may be unscrewed and taken off at any time by any body, by a simple turn of the wrist. That's the kind of secret ballot this particu lar ballot-box contains. And the ambiguous terms of the law in regard to what shall be returned by the Judge of election and what re tained in the ballot-box causes further confusion, even to a well-meaning and patriotic judge. The confidence that people have in Ayer's Sarsaparilla as a blood medi cine is the legitimate and natural growth of many years. It has been handed down from parent to child, and is the favorite family medicine in THE NEW PUBLIO P KIN TEE. Thomas E. Benedict, of Albany, New Yotk, the PiiWi.: I'rin'. r n:l.r Prcs'n.l'.'tit CliVclaivl's former idirtiiis tiation, seems to have filled the office so wci! tint t'w Preider !:as a-ain app.jii.lcd hi; out of a last of other anxious applicants. The a.uLly of the applicants for this particular place is because of the lusciousnes3 of the plum, so tJ speak. There was a time wh this office was among the best cms wiinin me hands of tlie President, because of the heavy purchases a-.d contracts within the control or sanction of the Public Printer. Whatever of value may since have been taken from his control by the House and Senate committees on printing, there are still some perqui sites besides a snu sa.ary attaching to the ofnVe, and hence ths anxiety of applicants. ror prudential reasons, no doubt. the President deferred his mming of the man foa this important office until just recently. I here being some 3,000 employees engaged under the Public Printer, at rates somewhat higher than printers make elsewhere, and not being under the jutisdiction of the civil service laws controlin: the clerical departments, the office requires no doubt discrete and conservative handling on the part of the Tubiic Printer who ivould serve his country and his parly well. THE TA.R1IT TALK. It is intimated that there may be tariff talk continued until June next On the 3d instant Senator Allison opened the obstructive side of the de bate. It is said, however, that the Democrats may cut it short. Should they do so at once it would still be long enough. In fact the tariff has been an open question as far back as we can remember, and it is likely to continue as much longer spasmodic ally, just for want of something better upon which our statesmen and stu dents of political economy can fight their battles tor power and pelf. How ever, we think the growing tendency, i or abiding effect of the everlasting tarill discussion, is to brake down sel fish barriers, whether of a national or international character, and that in the fulness of time much freer tiade will prevail, under some other name perhaps, in spite of all persistent effort towards monopoly, and all so-called patriotic argument along these lines. We predict that the farmer will figure more extensively and more im portantly in politics in the future than in the past, and as a happy result of this, more equitable laws will be pass ed in his favor, both of a national and international character. And such laws will be apt to encourage a more general leveling up of profits at home and abroad. This surely is a consummation de voutly to be sought at a time when the general out-cry is against our pre vailing monopolistic commercial con ditions. If high protective tariff is indeed the desideratum, then the voice of the people (which is frequently called the voice of God) spoke very loud'y and very wrongly against the wicked old champion of high protection the ousted Republican party. High pro tection cannot therefore be the thing altogether lovely with the voters. VIGILANCE THE PRICE OF LIBERTY. It would seem from recent events in South Carolina that the individual dealers in liquors rather object to State dispensaries. In view of the money there is in the business, this is quite natural. So also does the West em Union Telegraph Company ob ject to the Governments taking con trol ot all telegraph wires. And like wise.Jwe presume, the railroad com panies would make a fight for their rights and individual proper y if the Government were to attempt to rectify abuses by taking charge of all rail road business in the countryt Just what power belongs of right to the executive force of our free institutions and what should under the Constitu tion be reserved and vigilantly guard ed by the people, the writer is obliged to leave in the hands ot our Constitu tional lawyers and statesmen, white re serving the personal right of hist indi vidual opinion. Some one well up in statesmanship has said "They are governed best who are governed least. . That s about our notion. Straight From Tne East.

At times I would raUior have died than lived, but now I am thankful that I began taking flood'! Raraapa rllla for I am now as sound ot a dollar. I was Afflicted With Typhoid Fever, and an abscess formed on my right side above the fourth rib. TI10 strange part about this was the fact that It did not open for sli months after It appeared, although It pained mo continually. After It broke It became a running soro and I was compelled to wear a bandage all the time. The doctors told me that the only way It could be cured was to have an operation performed Sarsaparilla CURES and have the rib taken out, claiming mat I had bone disease, Inasmuch as four pieces of bone had been discharged from the sore. Before giv ing myself up to the doctors I decided to give Hood's Sarsaparilla a trial, although I had but little faith that It would do me any good. I used It strictly according to directions, and be fore 1 had used three bottles I Began to Feel a Change, and by the time I had usod the fourth bottle the sore on my side had honied. It Is now nearly three months since the eruption closed and I have not the least fear of It evor bothering me again. Hood's Rarsaimrllln Is oortuinly a gem among medicines.
