VOL. ZXV. NO. 86.
In a survey of the year 1879 and
the progress made by our country
daring that period, the Baltimore
Sun shows us how Europe suffers
from the present system of keeping
large armies, a policy begun by Bis
marck to the serious detriment not
only of hia own country, Germany,
but of all Europe. The Sun says:
"But the United States are at peace to
day, and have converted all their swords
into plow-shares and pruning-hooks, while
Europe groans under an annual "burden of
$1,000,000,000 spent in the maintenance of
armies and navlea. Since 1880 'the peace
of Europe has cost $27,000,000,000 in mo
ney to maintain it, while from 6,000,
000 to 8,500,000 men are annually
withdrawn from productive industries in
order to be trained in the arts of de
struction. If these men could earn by
the labor of their hands an average of $300
a year, as able-bodied men do in this coun
try, the losses to Europe by its prodigious
armaments since 1860 will have exceeded
thirty billions of money, equal to the entire
valuation of the United Slates, according
to the census of 1870. These figures afford
a clue to the sufferings and distresses of
Europe aa soon as an unprosperoua year
visits that- continent, and to the anxiety
with which crops and seasons are watched
there. The United 8lates have no need to
feel these anxieties."
Some of the Republican papers fa
vor Senator Bayard as the Democrat
ic candidate for the Presidency. The
Baltimore American appears to be
writing to that end. It closes a long
editorial by saying:
"The strongest man that the Democratic
party can present to this constituency is the
Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, and if the parly
can for once escape the fatality for blun
dering that pursues it, and of which the
Maine case'is the latest instance, his name
will be placed at the head of its ticket."
Why do Republican papers favor
Bayard? Of course they do not be-
lievo him strongest, or they would
not be anxious for his nomination.
And now Hayes is actually con
demning the "oad blunder" of Gar
celon and CouncU. He goes so far as
to say the poople-Qf Maine will not
stand it. May be he would like to
put his finger in the pie. What an
amount of cheek a fellow must have to
talk about "such a perversion of the
people's prerogative," when; allthe
time lie holds office through gigantic
frauds, and appropriates annually
$50,000 that of right belongs to
Samuel J. -Tilden. But why waste
words over such a brazen fraud ?
A young South Carolinian, son of a

Washington, Dec 30. There is
noticeable weakening among the Re
publican leaders regarding the use of
force to seat the alleged elected lie
publican members of the Legislature
in Maine next week. The violent
talk of a few days ago is no longer to
be heard, except among a few extreme
men, who would be glad to see the
country in a state of turmoil and ex
citement all the time. One of the
most prominent Republicans Senators
now in the city expresses the opin
ion that the Garcelon Legislature will
assemble unmolested on the 6th of
January, aad that the Republicans
will then demand that immediate
steps be taken to correct the alleged
wrongs berore an election is had for
Governor. The Republicans seem to
have discovered that Gov. Garcelon
cannot be fnghtened from the line of
his constitutional duty, and they will
now abandon their threats to resort
to force unless their demands are
complied with. It is understood that
such Republicans as Senators Antho
ny, Burnside and Edmunds have ad
vised the Maine Republicans not to
take any step which might look like
appealing to force, but to submit un
der protest to their alleged wrongs,
and endeavor to make the Legisla
ture, by legal manner, carry out the
spirit of theiaw under which Gov.
Garcelon has been acting.

worthy representatives of the business
community did ample justice. The occa

bered, and each and every one
present agreed that the affair was a credit
to Norway, Sweden and Denmark. It may
also be said that, though the "fluids" which
helped to crown the festive board were of
the most tempting character, the guests par
took of the same with that degree of mode
ration so characteristic of the members of
the Exchange on such occasions.

Professor James A Sewell, A. M. M., of Medical
Faculty, Laval University, Quebec, states: "I have
found Colden's Liebig's Liquid Extract of Beef and
Tonic Invigorator particularly useful in advanced
stages of Consumption, Weakness, Dyspepsia, and
all Nervous Afflictions. In pregnant women it has
been retained while every other article of food was
rejected.' I can recommend it as convenient, pala
table, aad easy of digestion."

GUILTY OF WRONG. Some -people have a
fashion of confusing excellent remedies with the
large mass of "patent medicines," and in this they
are guilty of a wrong. There are some advertised
remedies fully worth all that is asked for them, and
one at least we know of Hop Bitters. The writer
has had occasion to use the Bitters in just such a
climate as we have most of the year in Bay City,
and has always found them to be first class and re
liable, doing all that is claimed-for them. Tri
bune. A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT, having passed
several sleepless nights, disturbed by the agonies
and cries of a suffering child, and becoming con
vinced that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
Just the article needed, procured a supply for the
child. On reaching home and acquainting his wife
with what he had done; she rof used to have it ad
ministered to the child, as she was strongly in favor
of Homoeopathy. That Bight the child passed in
suffering, and the parents without sleep. Returning
home the day following, the father found the baby
still worse, and while contemplating another sleep
less night, the mother stepped from the room to at
tend to some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child. During her absence he administered
a portion of .-the' Soothing Syrup to the baby, and
said nothing. That night all hands slept well, and
the little fellow awoke in the morning bright and
happy. The mother was delighted with the sudden
and wonderful change, and although at first offend
ed with the deception practiced upon her, has con
tinued to use the Syrup, and suffering crying babies
and restless nights have disappeared. A single trial
of the Eyrup never yet failed to relieve the baby,
and overcome the prejudices of the mother. Sold
by all Druggists. 25 cents a bottle.
