The Huntingdon Journal. J. K. DURBORROW, - HUNTINGDON, PENN'A APRIL 5, 1878 FRIDAY, - - Oircalation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata Valley. Committee Meeting. The Republican County Committee will meet at the Court House, in Huntingdon, on TUESDAY, APRIL 16th, at one o'clock, P. at., for the purpose of electing one Senatorial and two Representative Delegates to the State Convention ; and to attend to other matters of importance. A full attendance is requested. W. A. FLEMING, Chairman. R. McDIVITT, Secretary. THE BIRTH OF PARTIES. It is a significant fact that what has now bees named the "National Party," and has heretofore been known as the "Labor Reform Party," "Currency Reform Party," and so on, bas been quietly carry ing elections. The party has attracted just enough attention to be despised and ridiculed by tne leading newspapers of the great money centres, but has developed strength enough among the people to carry elections even in some places against the combined strength of the two old parties. In his recent speech, Blanton Duncan gave some interesting facts bearing upon this topic. In Colifornia, the "Nationals" are carrying everything before them. In Alameda they elected a State Senator by a large plurality ; in Santa Barbara they elected a Representative ; they elected the Mayor of Sacramento, the capitol of the State, on the 12th of March, and on the same day elected the city ticket in Oak land ; and finally their leaders are not without hopes of carrying the State in the coming election. California has made millionaires—twenty men have nearly all the wealth of the State, and the result is the formation and success of the Labor party. From the extrme West let us turn to the extreme East. The Labor Reformers had forty votes in Maine in 1875; in 1876 they had 500 ; in 1877, 5,000, and they now claim to have 25,000. In our own State the Reformers, or Nationals, have won victories in Corning, in Utica, in Oswego, in Binghampton and Auburn, and they were only beaten in Syracuse by 1,000 votes by the Republicans. In Pennsylva. nia, ,though they can hardly be said to have carried any conspicuous elections, yet they have thoroughly frightened the leaders of the old parties, and the chances are in their favor of carrying Pittsburgh at the next election. In Illinois they have been successful in Centralia, Elgin, and other minor places. In the recent town elections in Michigan the Nationals have been successful in a number of places, such as Reading, Pawpaw and Jonesville. This movement is too widespread to be ignored, and, indeed, so fall of possibilities of danger to the old parties is it that astute politicians are even now taking the measure of what the party newspaper is pooh-poohing. It is clear that this move ment could have never had birth if it were not for the general distress. If times were good and labor employed, founding a new party would end in talk. The great exten sion of the distress of the laboring classes may be accurately measured by the success ful foundation of a new party and by its ability to carry election. For observers of political and social movements in this country to-day the sig nificance of the "National" movement has not so much in what it can and will do directly as its power to effect changes indi rectly—its power lies not so much in ac tion as in modification. We-have now no real "Democratic" party. We have no party of progress properly so-called. Both parties are led by lawyers whose one great maxim is to stand by custom, usage, decid ed cases, precedents. They are always groping in the dust of the past for chains to bind the present and finger-posts for the future. The lawyer is naturally a con servative, and very few lawyers would agree with Lord Mansfield that law changes with the manners, customs and wants of a people The National party is by no means a party of prescription. So far the lawyers do not take kindly to the move meat., and, indeed, it must be acknowledg ed that some of the leaders of the new movement have not scrupled to assert that our lawyer legislators are many of them intent on furthering the interests of them salves and the class to which they belong rather than the interests of the people. The new party platform does not refer to the "Resolutions of '98." On the other hand, it boldly asserts the duty of the Government to do something. It is right in regarding the Government as founded and sustained by reason of its ability to do certain things for the people which the people in their individual capacity could not do for themselves. The National par ty is able to exist and win victories because neither of the old parties have any distinct ive principles which are vitally important. Every indication now is that we are on the eve of the formation of a great liberal progressive and national party, which will be suited to the present condition of the country, which will offer a distinctive po litical creed to struggle for, and which will drive all opponents of that scheme into a great conservative party. One of the prominent points of the new creed will be the power and the duty of the Govern ment to intervene in great commercial crises, when private credit breaks down and the laborer is thrown out of employ ment, by prosecuting vigorously at such times needed works of a national character. In a word, the central dogma of the new party of progress must be the need of a more energetic Government than we now have. The Government mast become more paternal in the sense of working for the general welfare—New York Graphic. THE prospects of an immediate war be tween Russia and England are alarming. Both nations are hastily preparing, and the war fever is running high. England will be obliged'to fight single-banded.— Her selfish policy has made this necessary, but when the sword is once drawn there is no telling when the trouble will cease. All Europe may eventually be involved. Aud it mirairinci in . bOmbast. A SPECIAL dispatch to the Harrisburg Telegraph, dated Washington, April 2nd, says: - - EDITOR The Republican leaders are rapidly per fecting their plan of campaign so far as the Administration is concerned. The Republican caucus of Saturday developed the fact that the majority of the leaders were in favor of detaching themselves en tirely from the President and of conducting their political operations independent of assistance from that quarter. On Saturday night, Mr. Hale, of Maine, gave a dinner at his residence to about twenty Republi cans, amongst whom were Zach Chandler, ex-Minister Pierrepont and Senator Blaine. Conkling was not present. It is possibly for the reason that the relations between Senator Blaine and the New York Senator are not of the most harmonious character, or iemight be for another reason, which according to Senators who admire the greatness and the attainments of the Sen ator, may ere long prove a repetition in American political life—a parallel to that interesting historic event enacted in the days of the Caesars upon the banks of the Nile. The gentleman who partook of the cheer of the Main Representative were of one mind, that the salvation of the Repub• lican party in the coming campaign rests solely in its efforts unaided by Government patronage. The Caucus Committee appointed to determine upon . a line of policy to be pur sued by the Republicans in the Senate, both as regards the Administration and political measures to be submitted for discussion, expect to be able to report in a few days. There is no question of one fact, and that is that earnest work is contemplated amongst the Republican leaders to give the party something to rally upon in the way of issues. A later dispatch to Cie same paper says. It is proposed by the Republicans to have another interview with the President on the political situation before taking definite action respecting the proposed adoption of a party policy independent of executive co-operation. They say this would throw the responsibility of disagree ment on the President. THE National County Committee of Blair, met in Hollidaysburg, on Saturday afternoon last, and elected H. L. Bunker Senatorial Delegate and John Gingery and George W. Amheiser representative dele gates, with John Tomlinson, Thos. Lloyd and E. C. Bell alternates. The delegates were instructed for Hon. S. R. Mason, of Mercer, for Governor and Judge Bentley, of Lycoming, for Supreme Judge. THE Chairman of the Nationals has decided to hold the State Convention of that party, in this State, on the Bth of May, in Philadelphia. They are the first in the field. MADAME RESTELL, a New York abor tionist, worth over $1,000,000, committed suicide, on the Ist inst., by cutting her throat with a carving knife. THE English lion and the Russian bear promise to make things lively across the water. AGENTS are in this country buying up horses for the English army Who Losses the Eight Cents. Seventy or eighty persons have come to hand this week, inquiring in a pathetic voice who it is that losses the eight cents when a laboring man takes a ninety-two cent silver piece for a dollar and passes it on his butcher for a dollar and the butcher passes it on the shoemaker for a dollar, and the shoemaker passes it on the landlord for a dollar, and the landlord passes it for a dollar on the State tax es, and the State passes it for a dollar on a mason for work on the new State House, and the mason passes it for a dollar to a merchant for a silk dress for his wife, and the merchant passes it for a dollar to the custom house offi cer for import duties, and the United States Treasurer passes it as a dollar to a soldier, and the soldier passes it as a dollar to the• same carpenter hereinbefore previously mentioned, wo are unable to see who has lost the eight cents. Happy thought ! perhaps the loss fell on some man who did not get it ! Seriously the same Lan lost the eight cents who loses sixteen cents every time he takes four silver quarters that have only eighty-four cents' worth of silver in them. But, even then, the five cent nickles puzzle us. In a dollar's worth of these there is only nineteen cents' worth of metal. Now, will some of the editors who lie awake at night to figure such things out please to inform us who it is that loses the eighty one cents every time a dollar's worth of nickel is passed ? Who loses four cents every time a five-cent piece is paid for a glass of lager or a car ride ? The little copper cents are even greater robbery. We have not the heart to go into a calculation as to how many million dol lars are wrung from the horny, handed bond holder every day in the passage of this debas ed cent, but it is inconceivable how an oppo nent of the Bland Bill can pass one of those fraudulent tokens—even at a distance—with out blushing for the perfidy of his race.— Graphic. Daniel O'Leary, the Irish-American pedes trian of Chicago, wou the six days' contest in London last week, having walked 520 k miles from one o'clock Monday morning to eight o'clock Saturday evening. Harry Vaughan, of Chester, his principal competitor, walked 500 miles, and withdrew about forty minutes before O'Leary, deeming it useless to continue ttie contest. O'Leary receives the champion belt worth $5OO and $2500 prize money. Vaugh an receives $5OO, and Brown, who walked 477 miles, receives $250. On Sunday afternoon, while John Connelly, of Brooklin, was playing with his little son, aged 14 months, who was in his lap, he play- fully blew .a puff of tobacco smoke into his face. The child coughed, gasped for breath and fell back unconscious. In a few minutes it died from suffocatioa. The physician who was summoned said that the child bad proba bly sucked the smoke into its throat and had been unable to discharge it. The father became almost wild with grief. The New Brunswick (N. J.) Fredonian, in speaking of the railroad bridge over the Rari tan says : "Taking the history of the matter in brief, the old bridge burned down in just forty-four minutes and the trestle structure was built up in sixty-seven hours. The one point shows remarkable rapidity in destruc tion and the other astonishing skill in con struction. Oysters, it is said by a statistician, furnish fifty millions of the seventy-five millions of the products of American fisheries in 1876. This must be a mere approximation ; but as an English traveler has observed that the leading occupation in American cities is eating oysters, it is probably as near to the truth as oysters are near to the heart of the people. A. T. Stewart & Co., of New York, have resumed specie payment in earnest and gold and silver are paid out in change on all pur chases. One day last week they purchased $4.5,000 gold, the dollar of 1873 predominating among the gold coin. Secretary Sherman says the rush for office is so great that hardly had he beard of Regis ter Allison's sudden death before over twenty applicants put in appearance for the position. The Southern representatives were especially numerous and clamorous. Last year there was a net loss by fire of $196,000 in Pittsburgh, which is twice as much as any one of the six preceding years. Myths are But Symbols of Truth. As the scholar sees in the vain but beauti ful mythologies of the ancients the embodied expressions of the hungry human soul, blindly groping after the Infinite, so the physician sees in that popular myth of the sixteenth century the fountain of perpetual health and youth—an expression of the longings of suffer ing humanity for a remedy that should forever prevent the incursion of disease. The wilds of Europe were ransacked for this wonderful fountain, and Ponce de Leon sought for it in the cypress-swamps and tangled everglades of our sunny Florida. Men have searched for it everywhere and anywhere but where it really is—in the human body itself. The blood is the real fountain of perpetual health and youth. When this source is corrupted, the painful and sorrow-producing effects are visible in many shapes. The multifarious forms in which it manifests itself would form subjects upon which I might write volumes. But as all the varied forms of disease which depend upon bad blood are cured or best treat• ed, by such medicines as take up from this fluid and excrete from the system the noxious elements, it is not of practical importance that I should describe each. For instance, medical authors describe about fifty varieties of skin disease, but as they all require for their cure very similar treatment, it is of no practical utility to know just what name to apply to a certain form of skin disease, so you know how best to cure it. Then again, I might go on and describe various kinds of scrofulous sores, fever sores, white swellings, enlarged glands, and ulcers of varying appear ance ; might describe how virulent poison may show itself in various forms of eruptions, ulcers, sore throat, bony tumors, etc. ; but as all these various-appearing manifestations of bad blood are cured by a uniform means, I deem such a course unnecessary. Thoroughly cleanse the blood, which is the great fountain of life, and good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength, and soundness of con stitution, will all return to us. For this pur pose Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets are pre-eminently the articles needed. They are warranted to cure tetter, salt-rheum, scald head, St. Anthony's fire, rose rash or erysipelas, ring-worms, pimples, blotches, spots, eruptions, pustules, boils, carbuncles, sore eyes, rough skin, scurf, scrofulous sores and swellings, fever sores, white swellings, tumors, old sores or swell ings, affections of the skin, throat and bones, and ulcers of the liver, stomach, kidneys, and lungs. Dyspepsia ! Dyspepsia ! Dyspepsia ! Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all human ailments. Its symptoms are a'most infinite in their variety, and the forlorn and despondent victims of the disease often fancy themselves the prey, in turn, of every known malady. This is due, in part, to the close sympathy which exists between the stomach and the brain, and in part also to the fact that any disturbances of the digestive function necessarily disorders the liver, the bowels and the nervous system, and affects, to some extent, the quality of the blood. E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron a sure cure. This is not a new preparation, to be tried and found wanting, it has been prescribed daily for many years in the practice of eminent physicians w!th unparaleiled success. It is not expected or intended to cure all the dis eases to which the human family is subject, but is warranted to cure Dyspepsia in its most obstinate form. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron never fair to cure. Symptoms of Dyspepsia are loss of appetite, wind and rising of the food, dryness of the mouth, heartburn, distension of the stomach and bowels, consti pation, headache, dizziness, sleeplessness and low spirits. Try the great remedy and be convinced of its merits. Get the genuine. Take only Kunkel's which is put only in one dollar bottles. Depot, North Ninth Street, Philadelphia, Pa. It never fails.

The past week bas been a busy one in the Legis lature, especially in the Senate, where work has progressed rapidly, and at the same time quietly The House as usual has been a bedlam. Even the immortal "J. N." was disgusted with their unruly oonduct, and refused to address them on Monday night. The Senate is, at least, a month ahead of the House in work, and on the principle that the good boy may go out and play while the bad one must stay in and work, it has gone home for a vacation of ten days, and has left the House to work in its absence, so that the work of the lower branch may be reasonably well finished when the time for final adjournment arrives, as it must, at farthest, on the 30th day of May when the constitutional limit expires. Sessions of rapid routine work were held in the Senate on Wednes day night and yesterday so that the Senate cal endars have been almost entirely cleared of bills. If the House works as it should during the absence of the Senate, something may be accomplished. As fixed by resolution the Senate spent Wednes- day afternoon in pay;ag tribute to the memory of the deceased Senator Hon David A. Nagle.— A ppropriate resolutions were adopted and eulogistic speeches were delivered by several Senators. The seat of Senator Nagle is appropriately draped in mourning, and a buuquet of fresh cut flowers ap pear upon his desk every morning. Bullard, the absconding member from Delaware county, Las at last received the merited punish ment which the House had the power to mete out to him. On Tuesday Mr. Jackson, of Mercer county, reported from the Judiciary General committee the following preamble and resolutions which on Wednesday morning were adopted, with but one dissenting vote, and that one was cast by mistake: Whereon, 0. F. Bullard, a member of the House, was lately arrested and detained in the j.til of Delaware oounty to await a trial for the offense of embezzlement, wherewith he etood charged, and Whereon, This House did proceed to inquire whether in the said arrest and detention any breach of the privileges of the House had been committed; and Whereas, The said Bullard was by the order of the House, and upon his own request, delivered from the custody of the keeper of the jail of Dela ware county, and produced before the committee of the House of the judiciary system general, and Whereas, This House did, on the 29th of Jan nary 1878, order and direct, that the said Bullard be remanded to the custody of the keeper of the jail of said Delaware county, and Whereas, The said Bullard did afterwards make his escape from the custody of the sergeant-at arms of the House to which custody he had been committed that the order last above mentioned might be carried into effect, therefore, Resulted, That 0. F. Bullard be and is hereby expelled from his seat in the House of Represen tatives of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The House was very anxious to know something about the fugitive Bullard, and called on the ser geant-at-arms Gains to tell what he knew of him. The Sergeant said that he had heard of Mr. B. away in Dakota Territory, and had no doubt that by this time Pennsylvania's legislator was striking for San Diego or some other seaport of the West. The Sergeant was disgusted with the matter and expressed his determination to withdraw the re ward of $5OO offered, unless the House took some action by means of which he would be relieved of personal pecuniary responsibility in the matter. After a second trial the House has again de feated the bill requiring engineers of steam engines and boilers to take out a license. Thus protecting the public from incompetent employes in this line of business. The House has been further amusing itself by tinkering at the present salary system. Two re form bills are before the ouse. One which forcibly reminds us of the sacrifices which Artemus Ward was willing to make for his country's sake during the late war. The bill proposes to cut down the salaries of the clerks and employee of the legislature, and leaves the salaries of senators and members at their present figure. Another bill proposes to cut down the salaries of depart ment clerks. These bills amount to nothing for they are merely gotten up by puny statesmen, (who shrink from entering the field of true political reform) to make a little wee bit of political capital. Yet there is certainly room for reform in the mat ter of departmental salaries. It however lies not in the legislation above mentioned, Eliminate the drones from all of the departments, raise the salaries of the working clerks 25 per cent. and it will be found that the gross amount paid by the commonwealth for department salaries, will be decreased at least 25 per cent. After one of the moat disorderly meetings of the session the House adjourned yesterday evening until neat Tuesday evening. B. CLARKE'S TOOTH ACHE DROPS cure instantly New To-Day. FOR SALE.
