[Congress bring sugared by the Sugar Trust, imposed a tax on German Sugar, ^otqcJ?ag- tWo Amorloan saceharlno h, whereat Germany and Austria Belgium imposed a duty on Autor in boef and perk. And now the great ?oat barons of the Wooly West want jo duty taken off sugar coming from Germany. Birds usod to be caught by throwing salt on their tails; every in ?rc8t in this country needs must be .? ?fared over." '?Sweet is revenge?ospcoially to wo men, [Plllago to soldiers?prize money to seamen." Thore has been some diacussion going on for Homo wooks in tho groat dailies concerning the composition of tho coming Constitutional Convention. sggestlons have been mado that tho several factions of the Stato should avo representation proportioned tp their n.umer-Wal strength, other sug gestions, and mostly looking to har 'mony, have been mado. There is no question but that there should bo peace; it is to the interest of all; fur thermore, we believe there is poaco. Nobody is making any to-do now ex cept an occasional blind tlgor fellow, who when caught kioks against the of ficial snags; now and then a follow with ,a sore head may bo found, who failed to get office or w,as dofoated and ho ought to bo allowed tho poor privilogo of kicking a little; but opposition, with proper criticism and stirring up things by the Press will keep the fountain of Government clear and pure. Lot the wrangle proceed with decency and order. Hut as to tho convention and its composition. Thojtophould <bo no partisanship in tb/?choice of its mem bers. To be^a"nTomber of it is a matte** orf^wMwrrosponslblllty. The questions we have been and are still quarrelling over aro as transient and fleeting as shadows?light as air, nothing liko those that struck terror to the soul of Gloster. Upon tho fundamental law to be enaoted by that Convention will assuredly to our immediate posterity involvo moro than lifo, liberty, and property,?tho pursuit of happiness In peace and quiet. Tho ques tion of partisanship based upon present and past political propositions in this Stato thereforo should not press. No conscientious and wise man will be in a hurry to undertake tho formation of a government for a South ern State under conditions as ours. To a sober thinking man it must "give him pause." Wo boliove tho pooplo will be very dispassionate in selecting gj^ti to mako 11 constitution for their ^^mTldreh, and grand children. # * * Mr. Slbley, calling himself a Penn sylvania democrat, in Congress tho other day, made a villainous, vicious, and vulgar attack upon tho President. He said: "It has come to a tlmo when to be the government of this people re quires something moro than a combi nation of brains, holly and brass." There may bo something in tho honor able gentleman's suggestion. Here wo have in our section a surplus of cot ton; in tho Wost, in Phil Armour's bailiwiok, a surplus of meat; a little farther West a surplus of horsos, w^erothc^j'^^'fco.OO per bead: hero they^H Bfl!W ^'i)VX n>m Hoston a surpHHB By: in Congross n sur plus of fools^Hnn tho municipal do-j partmouts of Now York a surplus of naves. We don't think tho difficulty lies at the door of tho Prosidont. Mr. Slbley might with advantago look nearer homo. There is no lack of brains, don't you see, in this or any other age. The trouble llos in a lack of common honesty distributed to n \ "general avorago" throughout tho world. With a proper distribution of tho last quality things may bo ovoned up upon a fair and equitable basis. * It would seom that the last hopo of eurrenoy reform was killed as doad as a hammor by a preliminary vote on tho Carlisle Bill had on Wednesday ?lost. The chances of its passage or any relief bfll are dismal for this ses sion and we aro In tho clutches of tho money power?tho Old Man of tho Son has us by tho neck?for an indoflnito time. McLaurin, Talbot, Strait, Lati raor, Shell all voted with the republi cans, Izlar alono of this Stato voting with his party. Those gontlemen will of course claim that tho roliof was not all thoy wanted?didn't go far enough ?they wanted freo silver. If you can't get pudding don't take pie. Thus by ( the a'djQf these gentlemen tho repub licans have us in their grip for this century and with such material In Con gress, for that matter, for tho next. A fool hoaring that a crow would live a hundred years, purchased ono and caged it in ordor to test the ques tion of longevity.

Why Was It that Aycr'rt Karsaparllln, out of tho groat number of similar preparations manufac tured throughout tho world, was tho only medicluo of tho kind admitted at tho ?World's Fair, Chicago?

According to Kri.n is?"Articles that are in any way dangerous or offensive, also patent modlcinos, 0| nostrums, and oinpivical prepara tions, whose ingredients are con- o] coaled, will not be admitted to the oj Exposition," and, therefore? ?3 necmite Aycr's Sarsuparllln Is not a o; patent medicine, not a nostrum, and not a sooret preparation.
