N, Y., have daring the past two years been systematically robb«d. At least ose-halrof the bodies interred have been stolen. I^Here Is a point which Illustrates ' the [ ractlcal failure of the eight hour movement: The employees of Feather- atones foundry at Chicago, recent) v •truck for eight hours, and gained | their poiut. Monday thvy asked for a : return to the ten-hour system, which : was denied them, and they at once > struck again. These men should devote •ne day ot their idleness to flodlng out exactly what they do waut, before do" Ing anything else. Meanwhile, the woodworkers of Chicago have decided to return to the ten-hour system. H0TDacy, the cold blooded mur­ derer, did not succeed In making a Jury of twelve intelligent men believe, last week, that he was Insane, and consequently be will pay the penalty of his crime on the 13th of July, by being banged by the neck until he is dead. At least that is the wish of all law-abiding citizens. He showed his pure cussedoess on Saturday last by setting fire to the beddding in bis cell, and come near hitneelf being smothered in the smoke. This red- banded villi an has already cost the county too much. His crime is undis­ puted. Let him pay the penalty. The quicker the better. 10*The Chicago Times, In repre­ senting that decoration day is not now observed in its spirit, but kept up by politicians to perpetuate Northern hatred of the South, totally misrepre­ sents tlie facts as tbey appear to us. rolls on It seems as if the ce was more solemn, appro- nil sentimental than in its on.

Resolved, That we express our hope and belief that republicans tliougliout the country will make one t>rave and determined eflort at the coining elec tion to regain the control of th* lower bouse of congress and thus practically secure the control of cur national ar­ ums. and to ti>at end recommend that In all congressional districts there be a more thorough and complete organ­ ization. hesolved, That we regard with deep loterest the labor agitations now cou- vulBlng the country and declare our belief that while law and order should be resolutely preserved, labor should be secured its full reward. Resolved. That we heartily endorse the course of the member from this district. Hon. A. J.

It has pladd in nomination for the various county offices men ot undoubted ability, and of unquestioned Integrity, and t do uot tnlnk, Mr. Editor, you or I ever saw a county convention composed of 184 delegates present a finer appear­ ance. Earnest thoughtful men. and most of them bard handed, bronze faced tillers of the soli. And the good feeling, the perfect harmony prevail­ ing. both among candidates ami dele gates, from commencement to the end. WAS and is especially gratify ing. and argues well for 1886 and 1888. While the committee were out performing duties assigned them several gentle men were, one after another, called to make short speeches, and the remarks of these gentlemen all tended to strengthen the assertion (often made of late) and making assurance doubly sure, that tho Republican Party was never in better condition to fight a battle or run a race than now. But I think some of tbe remarks made by the Judge and many of the leading articles in our Republican papers are wrong, and misleading and will, in many instances, caule men to arrive at erroneous conclusions. The Judge, you will remember, somewhat severely arraigned the Democratic party, the party now in power, for not doing something grand, noble and benl.lt- Cent; for not originating some great measure of National importance, de­ vising ways and means to build up our Merchant Marine, to lncrea6eour com­ mercial facilities with other nations, and thus fiid near and increasad markets for our surplus products, both of the mill and tbe soil; to increase and Ifacilitate inland navigation and means of transportation; to Institute a National system of common schools and place within reach or every boy and girl means to obtain 011 English education; to Increase our army and make possible the protection ot the settlers on our western frontier; to bui.d coast defences and prevent our sea coast fortifications from becoming utterly worthl-ss. Tlie6e and a hun­ dred other measures and things the Republican speakers and <p*Pei> charge the Democratic party With not originating or doing. Now Mr. Editor, 1 think this is jUI wrong, all nonsense, to ask the Demo­ cratic party to originate any great measure that should, when put ln practice, rebound to the glory and honor of the Natiou,or that,the people should derive material benefit there­ from. If the Democratic party should attempt to do anything of this kind or nature disintegration would com­ mence at once; Its doom be sealed. Its days numbered. Tbe Democratic Party was, is, and while It lives, breaths and has a being, it always will be, tbe great do nothing party. 1 mean tbe democratic party of to-day. The democratic party since tiie days of Calhoon, Benton, Silas Wright, Cass, Douglas, Marcy and other dem ocrats who acted with these leaders. 1 mean that party which would do nothing to put down armed rebellion, which denies the right of the Repub­ lican party or any other party to do anytbi ig by force of arms to preserve the life of tbe Nation. The Democrat Ic party would not do anything to provide the means to pay the loyal soldier his wages, to buy his bread or put a coat on his back, fought the greenback, aud declaring It unconsti­ tutional to issue necessary promises to pay and would do nothing to provide means to redeem the greenbacks promise to pay. The Democratic party would do nothing to protect the Freeduien in his rights as a citizen or to educate wards of the nation, Is op­ posed to internal improvements, ex­ cept it ba t'.ie -creek or bayou that passes It is door, aud law and- measure originating in and advocated by tne Republican party of National impor­ tance has bt en oppose", deuounced and sat down upon by the Democratic party. Now and then, here and the re. an individual of that party, has assert­ ed his manhood, rose above his party and tried to do something. Thurman undertook to bring the Union Pacifie Railroad Co, to a sense of its obliga­ tion to ithe government. Pendleton stretched out his hand, and raised hi* voice in favor of earnest work to put Civil Service reform Into active op­ eration. For this utter disregard ol party usages and Instincts they were at the first opportunity politically knocked on the head, the one perma nently laid on the shelf, the other, who still had the audacity to use hi6 voice as a citizen in favor of reformatory measures in tbe civil service, was banished and is now laid up to dry rot in Europe. A warning, sad sad warning. *0 all, to every Democrat that if by any possible accident their brain should give birth to an Idea or should exhibit a disposition to do something it would be their death knell. Why Sir, can you point your finger on a more complete and un qualified specimen of the genius do nothing, from boyhoods days to mans estate, than Grover Clevelaud; and who was the most absolute negation in the democratic party and hence the most available candidate for the Presidency? The slogan of tbe Dem oeratfe party is do nothing and the most honored man In the party to day Is the man who lias never done any­ thing except to devise ways and means of how not to do. It Is said there are exceptions to all general rules. So one hare viz: The Demo, cratic party exerted Itself to its ut most to coax Repabllcans to pay Fitz John Porter in greenbacks for doing nothing. What folly then to waste time drawing Indictments against the Democratic parly for doing nothloi It Is their pabulum, It is their natura. state and condition. To do otherwise Is death. Let us iben. as Republicans close up our ranks, work earnestly and harmoniously to place men In power.wbo are by nature tbe euemies of the great Do Nothing. Do SOMETHIMQ.

By its w light or red hair may be darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not alwaya, cured. It checks falling of the hair, and stiara- lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It prevents and cures scurf and dandruff. Mid heals nearly every disease peculiar to the scalp. As a Ladies' Hair Dressing, the VIOOB is unequalled; it contains neither oil nor dye, ronden the hair soft, glossy, and Silken in appearance, and imparts a deUCTte, agreeable, and lasting perfume. MR. C. P. BRICHEK writes from Kirby( O.. July 3, 1882: " Last fall my hair commenced falling out, and in a short time 1 became nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of AYEB'S HAIB VIGOR, which stopped the fall* lng of the hair, and started a new growth. I hare now a full head of hair growing rigor­ ously, and am convinced that but for the *»e of your preparation 1 should hare been entirely bald." J. W. Bo WEN, proprietor of the JWeJrtkmr (Ohio) Enquirer, says: " ATEB'S HAIR VIQO* is a most excellent preparation for the hair. I speak of it from my own experience. Its use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. The VIOOR is also a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction." MR. ANGUS FAIBBAIBW, leader of the celebrated "Fairbairn Family" of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Bottom, Matt., Ftb. S, 1880: " Ever since my hair began to gire sil­ very evidence of the change which Seetlng time procureth, 1 have used AYKB'S HAIB VIOOR, and so have been able to maintain an appearance of youthfulness--a matter of eongiderable consequence to ministers, ora­ tors, actors, and in fact every on* who lives la the eyes of the publle." MBS. O. A. PBESCOTT, writing from 18 Elm Bt„ CharUitown, Mcut., April 14, 1882, says: " Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair came off. It thinned very rapidly, ai fast growing bald. On using AY KB V I GOB the falling stopped and a nen commenced, and in about a month i > years i came off. It thinned very rapidly, and'l was bald. On using AYEB'S HAIR i new growth nth my head was completely covered with short hair. II has continued to grow, and Is now as good as before it fell. I regularly used but one bottle of the VIOOB, but now use it occasionally as a dressing." We have hundreds of similar testimonials to the efficacy of ATXB'S HAIB VIOOB.
