THE breach among the Democratic brethren in the Senate Beems to be widening.

TUB Democrats have the power. Why don't they come to a vote on the repeal bill in the Senate?

RETCBLICAN watch-flree are brightly burning in every oonnty in Ohio. The battle cry is "50,000 for MoKinley."

THE publio debt increased during the month of August $8,000,000. Everything is "going Democratic" theee days.

OCT of sympathy for the workii gman "now oppressed by the robber tariff" Democratic statesmen propose to lax his tea, and sugar, and coffee.

THE encampment being over the Indianapolis News can return to its thrusts Bgainst the pensioners by copying the unfavorable comments of the soldierbutiug press.

IT has been asserted, timet without number, that Attorney General Olney "will move against the trusts." But "nary" move. He's the attorney for too many of theee institutions.

CCUBEXCY is said to be much easier in the East. This may partly be acaounted for by the reason that so many mills have closed down. They have no payrolls to make up and consequently require lees currency.

IN

the tariff article by "Citizen" last week the writer used the word "egoism" as the antipode of altrusion. It appeared in print "egotism," but the "I" should have been omitted. Intelligent readers will discern the difference

THE Congressional Record of September 10 shows that it was private bill day in the House. The bills run from No. 417 to No. 2330, a total of 1913 introduced on that day. Of the 1,913 at least 1,500 are for Sonth9rn war claims, involving probably $2,000,000. It any one doubts that the South is in the saddle let him glance over the fifty columns of the Record beginning on page 1,282.

TnE New York Sun asserts, evidently after much research, that the purchasing power of the American farmers in 1893 is one billion, five hundred and sixty-three million dollars less than it would be than if they were receiving the same prices they received for the same products from 18G6 to 1870. As agriculture is the basis of business the question arises, has not this depression cut some figure in the present panic?

TUB Chicago Post, speaking of the Indiana building at the World's Fair has this to say: "The Indiana folks have probably done the right thing more completely than anybody. A great, cool room that takes up half the third story of the Hoosier building, has been fitted up exclusively for luncheon parties. The room has a clean linoleum iioor, its many windows are white curtained, and it is tilled with broad white tables,where whcever comes in may eat. There are polite servants in attendance and big pitchers of ice water are scattered everywhere. Hundreds of people come to this room every pleasant day. From 11 o'clock until 2 it is a merry place. The lunchers here are quite different from the dejected people who perch on steps, lumber heaps and piles of staff and munch dry food in the lower end of the grounds."

UP to this time the Republicans in Congress have been inclined to assist Mr. Cleveland out of the cavity into which his own party has plaoed him. But the threatened onslaught on the l-»w providing for fair elections will probubly arouse bitter partisan feeling, and the future course of the Republicans cannot be foretold. Repeal Democrats are nervous over the situation, especially at this time when the President is almost wholly at the mercy of the liepublicans in the Senate. Most of the Republicans in the Senate ,do not believe that the Sherman law is the cause of ihe present panic but are willing to vote for its repeal that the country may see that the underlying oause is something else. Should, however, the Democratic forces enter upon extreme partisan legislation, such as the destruction of the laws whereby it is made possible for every man to vote and have his vote counted, the Republicans may deoline to go farther in support of the President.

The situation for the repealers is critical to say the least.

TUB counters and shelves at Bischofs TiUBt be oleured for the new stock with in the next three weeks. Now is time to get bargains.

THE QUEEN'S CHAMPION.

An Official Whose Duty It Is to Throw Down a Glove.

A Chivmlrle Title Which U11 Urea Meld by the Dyuattk* Family Kver Since the Dftji of Richard 11.—Scott**

Description of the Challenge*

The death of Francis Dymoke, the queen of England's champion, which occurred at Ilorncastle recently, has reminded the world that even In the midst of the present prosaic and utilitarian age one knightly office, at least, is in existence, to contradict the assertion of Edmund Burke that "the age of chivalry Is gone." The late holder of the office was a Lincolnshire magistrate and an officer in the local militia the two previous onos were clergymen. The office is not, as It has often been stated, hereditary to the Dymoko family, but is attached to the lord of the manor of Scrivelsby, which is held by the ancient tenure known as grand serf can try—i. e., where one holds lands of the soveroi#n by service which he has to perform In person. The service by which Scrivelsby is held is thus quoted by the New York World: "That the lord thereof shall be the king's champion."

The championship has np salary attached to it, for, though the Dymoke family hold Scrivelsby on the feudal tenure of performing this duty, they have been owners of that manor for upward of five hundred years, and they obtained it, not by royal grant or out of the public purse, but by marriage with an heiress, the last of the proud line of Marmion, granddaughter of Philip de Marmion, a name which recalls memories of chivalry and of the poetry of Shakespeare and SO" Walter Scott. There is no record of the office under the Saxon kings, but, according to the late Sir Bernard Burke, its duties were appended by William I. as an honor to the old baronial house of Rlarmyon, or Marmion, the ancient owners of the manor of Scrivelsby. This manor, together with the castle of Tamworth, had been conferred, soon after the Norman conquest, on one Robert de Marmyon, lord of Fontenoy, in Normandy, on oondition of performing the office of champion at the king's coronation.

The name of Dymoke is Welsh. The Dymokes, or Dymocks—for the name is spelled both ways—claim a traditional descent from Tudor Trevor, lord of Hereford and Whittington, and founder of tho tribe of the Marches. The chief himself had three sons, the second of whom, marrying a daughter of the prince of North Wales, half a century before the Norman conquest, became the ancestor of one David ap Madoc, who, in the Welsh tongue, was styled colloquially Dal Madoc, the word Dai being the short form of David. HiS son and heir wis David ap Dai Madoc, or David Dai Madoc, and by the usual abridgement Dai Madoc came in the course of time to bo pronounced as Daimoc or Damoc, the transition from which to Dimoc or Dymoc, and again from that to Diinos or Dymoke is easy andoobvious.

The first, then, of the Dymoke family who fulfilled his office as champion was Sir John Dymoke, knight, who married Margaret Ludlow in the reign of Edward III., and was present at tho coronation of Richard II. Ilis claim was disputed by Baldwin de Freville, the lord of Tamworth castle, but after deliberation it was found that the right: belonged to the manor of Scrivelsby, as the caput baroniae or head of the barony of the Marmion family! and, as it appeared that the late King Edward III. and his son, Edward, prince of Wales, known as the black prince, had often been heard to say that the office was held by Sir John Dymoke, the question was settled in his favor.

The Gentleman's Magazine for 182] contains a picture of the royal champion, Henry Dymoke, in the act of riding on his white charger Into Westminster hall, and throwing down the glove or gauntlet of defiance, supported on either side by the duke of Wellington and the marquis of Anglesey, also on horseback, while two heralds stand by on foot with tabards and plumes. The performance of the champion on this occasion is thus described by Sir Walter Scott in a letter to one of his friends: "The champion's duty was performed, as of right, by young Dymoke, a fine looking youth, but bearing perhaps a little too much the appearance of a maiden knight to be the challenger of the world In the king's behalf. He threw down his gauntlet, however, with becoming manhood, and showed as much horsemanship as the crowd of knights and squires around him would permit to be exhibited. His armor was In good taste, but his shield was out of all propriety, being a round rondache, or Highland target, a defensive weapon which It would be impossible to use on horseback, Instead of being a three-cornered or leather shield, which in the time of tho tilt was suspended round the neck. Pardon this antiquarian scruple, which you may believe occurred to few but myself. On the whole, this striking part of the exhibition somewhat disappointed me, for I would have had the champion less embarrassed by his assistants and at liberty to put his horse on the grand pas, and yet the young lord of Scrivelsby looked and behaved extremely well."

The last time the ceremony of the challenge was carried out was at the coronation of George IV., wheD Henry Dymoke, the deputy of his father, a clergyman, threw down the gauntlet in Westminster hall. This flenry Dymoke, soon after Queen Victoria's accession, was created a knight as a recompense, it was said, for waiving his claims to discharge the duties of his office at the queen's coronation. Sir Henry was succeeded by his brother, Rev. John Dymoke, and he by his son, Henry Lionel Dymoke, whom Francis Seaman Dymoke, just deceased, succeeded In 1875. The present "champion" is his only son, also namod Francis Seaman Dymoke.

DEFENDING THE LAZY MAN.

A

Harmless Individual Who" Is Too Often Abused by the Dugjrbodies, It is the custom of this world's busybodies to speak slightingly of the lazy man. This custom is due primarily perhaps to the fact that the energetic soul is ever on the lookout for objects upon which to expend its superfluous force, but it is also largely referable to the inability of the active temperament to see matters from the lazy man's point of view. This looking down upon the indolent is, after all, but a matter of convention, and no doubt if the truth were known—for the slothful mind is not given to bragging —it would bfl found that the lazy man has as good reason for contemning the busybody as has the busybody for pointing the finger of scorn at the lazy man. The Boston Transcript sees reasons for thinking that the indolent man is actuated by motives pure and altruistic in refraining from undue exercise of body or mind, and if he had his due the record of his virtues might ever be clothed in the most eulogistic language for, like the lily of tho valley, he toils not, neither does he spin, and there is Scripture warrant for believing that even Solomon in all his glory was never rigged out like the lazy lily.

The attributes of the inactive man, even of a negative quality, are a help and blessing to his energetic contemporaries. By refraining altogether or doing as little work as possible, he thereby creates a scarcity in the labor market, thus giving others an opportunity to earn their bread whereas, if all the lazy men were to turn to and work, thousands now regularly employed would have nothing to do, and unprecedented misery would be the consequence. But it is not just to decide off-hand that the lazy man's attributes are negative. Very likely he aims to be what he is, a friend of humanity. lie perceives undoubtedly how eager the majority of his kind is to be ever busy about something, and in the goodness of his heart and with a disinterested devotion which is deserving of the highest praise, it is fair to suppose that his only concern is to increase the happiness of those about him. Ho not only gives others an opportunity for physical labor by his amiable Self-denial, but his persistent and consistent idleness furnishes all who know him with perennial mental exercise. His laziness gives others the means whereby they can earn a living, and it also and at the same time makes those others happy and in love with themselves by having him as a sort of antithesis, which by contrast adds force and luster to the qualities which in their self-conceit are regarded as superexcellent.

The lazy man, therefore, not only does no harm in the world, but, on tho contrary, does much good. This fact never will be appreciated unless tho lazy men should all at once forsake their laziness and become workers. But lack of appreciation does not worry the lazy man he \s not given to worrhnent. In his unselfishness he is willing others should monopolize that as well as the cark and care of this world, the exercise of body and of mind.

The liest in the World.

Senator Henry C. Nelson, of New York, writes. "On the 20th of Fobruary, 1SS8, I was taken with a vipient pain in the retrion of the kidneys. I suffered such agony that I could hardly stand up, As soon as possible 1 applied two Alcocli's Porous Plasters, one over cach kidney and laid down, In an hour, to my surprise and delight, the pain had vanished and was well. I wore the plasters for a day or two as a precaution and then remove them. 1 have been using Allcock's Porous Plasters in my family for.tho last ten years, and have always found them the quickest and boit remedy for colds, strains and rheumatic affections. From my experience I believe thoy are the best plasters in the world."
