UU to the hoar ot going to preae no new ball had been issued by the President of the United States.

THERE are 7,783 drinking places in New York, which are tor the most part lJemocratio campaign bureaus. They are the recruiting stations for Tammany Hall.

I'BBKK is no oaose for alarm because a number of small banks throughout the State have gone to the wall. Banks that have a good financial basis and which have been doing a legitimate, careful business are just as strong as they ever were.

THE prioe of wool is now 20 oents. The prospective redaction of the tariff has brought the prioe down five oents. The removal ot the tariff entirely will cause a further reduction of ten oents. How do wool growers like the outlook?

COL. HENBT WATTERSON says that it cost 81,000,000 to nominate Cleveland and $5,000,000 to elect him. Democrats all over the country are clamoring for the dividends on this $6,000,000 investment. This statement explains why the Orawfordsville contingent is still out on the cold, oold world. Instead of contributors they were beneficiaries ot the boodle.

IN tfheee days of injunctions against everybody and everything, the Toledo Blade wants to know why don't some impatient Demoorat who has his eye on a fat federal offioe get out an injunction to forbid the present Bepublican in cumbent from performing his duties, on the ground that the Republicans were defeated last fall, and that to the viotors belong the spoil?

AN attack is to be made on the na tional banking system by Congress when it meets. An attempt will be made to repeal the ten per cent, tax on State bank issues. This accomplished will ring the death knell ot national banks. A currency will then be be issued on State and county securities. Everybody will go to bed at night rioh and get up in the morning poor.

CHABLES U. BROWN has made a proposition to the City Council of Frankfort that he will design a complete sewerage system for that city, and get everything in readiness, to let contract, famishing form of contract, form of proposals, specifications, rules and regulations for governing the system for the sum of 81,000. Or he will act as consulting engineer for $400. Frankfort is getting down to business on the sewerage question.

THE statements showing the condi tion ot the First National and the Citizens' National Banks of this city are exhibits that will inspire confidence in the people of their soundness and solvency. Their surplus reserve is in a most healthy condition. The individual deposits subject to check in the two banks are nearly 6700,000. The deposits in Elston Bank it is presumed are proportionately large, so that it may be siiid that the three banks contain nearly, if not quite, a million belonging to the people with ample reserves for any emergency that might arise. The banking institutions of Crawfordsville can challenge comparison with those of our financial centers.

THE revision of the Presbyterian creed will fail. The New York Indejendent says the additional returns from the presbyteries emphasize this fact. Out of twenty-two presbyteries then reported only thirteen approved entire and twenty-eight in part, while twenty-eight disapproved entire. Sinoe then they have heard from fiftv-siz presbyteries. Of them seventeen approve entire and eighteen in part, and fourteen disapprove entire. To sum up, the vote ot one hundred and thirty-eight presbyteries shows that [forty-two disapprove, twenty take no action, forty-six approve in part, thirty entire, and fifty-seven ask for anew creed. In order to oarry the overtures ninety-two of these one hundred and thirty-eight presbyteries should have approved. The vote falls far short of this. 5"Revision is doomed," says the Independant, "but the idea of anew creed gains in favor."

00LLEGE NOTES,

A Philosopher's Opinion. Voltaire said to a beautiful young lady with whom he was dining, "Your rivals are the perfection of art you are the perfection of -nature." This could not haye been said if the young lady was suffering from disease, and pain had left Its signs on the features. Women who want to keep beautiful, and be the "perfection of nature" should use "Favorite Prescription" to assist nature when needed, to correct irregularities, aid circulation and digestion, and thereby clear up the skin, rendering it soft and beautiful. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the only medicine for woman's peculiar ills, sold through druggists, and guaranteed to give satisfaction in every case, or money refunded.

A Ten Dollar Gold Piece For a Vent. Sometime ago, a gentleman bet that if he stood at the corner of Broadway and Fourteenth Street, New York, and offered gold Eagles to the passers- by for a cent each, he would find no purchasers. The experiment was tried, and it turced out just as he said. No one would believe that the coins were genuine. It seemed too good to be' true. An equally remarkable offerJis that made by the proprietors or Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the sovereign cure for consumption. Think of it! restoration to life and health for a mere song. There is not a case of Lung-scrofula—in other words, Consumption—that will not yield to it, if it is taken in time. It is the greatest blood purifier ever known, and is guaranteed to benefit or cure mail diseases of the threat and lungs, or money refunded. Only extraordinary curative properties could warrant or sustain its makers in selling it thus, on trial!
