How do you like the reign of plutocracy? The latest news is that the president has gone to Hog island and the country is rapidly going to the devil. More gold going out, more bonds talked of, more ignorance manifest, the supply of fools on the increase. Now what are we to expect next. Dan Voorhees dubs Dave Hill, a political footpad, and Dave Hill says that Voorhees is a political nincompoop, and everybody is wondering how it happened that these old duffers happened to tell the truth just once. It is now confidently predicted that Dan Voorhees’ “liberal silver legislation” will come howling along in the short space of two or three. You needn’t be in any hurry, Dan, for no one believed you.

Repeal the Sherman law, confidence will be restored, gold will come out of its hiding place, gold shipments will cease, every wheel and spindle will be set in motion, every idle man will be employed. Whew! didn't they miss it? When the late storm struck the country, the first impression was that it was the business boom promised the country when the purchasing clause of the Sherman law was repealed, but later on it was learned to be a Dakota blizzard finished up by Labrador. Billy Owen said in his Rensselaer speech that threatened tariff reduction caused the present hard times. Didn’t suppose from the number of “cullud gemmens” that Billy had to cook his grub, care for his silverware and stand at his back while he filled his stomach, that Billy had heard of the hard times, but then Billy is the working man’s candidate and must talk of hard times and the great distress of us working men, caused by the rascally Democrats. How us apples swim.

The Washington correspondent of the Chicago News says that Aldrich, Hoar, Gorman, Brice, Vest and some other old duffers are having oceans of fun over the tariff gag. We are not surprised, for Nero had a jolly good time playing “Old Dan Tucker” on his fiddle under sim ilar surroundings. The mere fact that four millions of men are out of employment and ten millions are starving, and all business prostrated and bloody revolution is imminent, doesn’t in the least interfere with the joyous time that these old roosters are having at Washington. We believe that Belshazzar had a rollicking old time at one period of his life, and had not Cyrus and Almighty God interfered it is not certain how long the old bum would have run on with his hilarities. But when the fun was at its height an armless hand came out of the darkness and wrote a message on the wall that ended their revelries forever. An experience not unlike Belshazzar’s may be theirs. That many of them are drunken, and nearly satiated with plunder almost every one believes, but but how they can laugh, joke and foolishly throw away valuable time amid such awful threaten ings, seems incomprehensibe.

It cures blood and skin disorders. It does this quickly and permanently. Is there any good reason why you should not use DeWitt’s Sarsaparilla*? It recommends itself. A. F. Long & Co., Druggists. Sam Yeoman has a car load of the celebrated McCorrriick Reapers and Mowers, and in offering them at prices that cannot be equaled by any other machine. If you are thinking of buying, it will be to your interest to see him.
