THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1893.
SUUJVAK'S name has been changed to that of Valkyrie.
CALEB S. DKNMT carried a rabbit's foot. A pointer (or candidates in the future.
MANY Democratic Senators defend that "miserable makeshift," the Sherman law, with a good deil of vigor and eloquence.
DIMOORATS at Indianapolis Bay they had too many wagons in wbioh to haul voters to the polls. One philosophio Democrat over there said if his party had had forty more wagons Denny's majority would have been 10,000. He said that Democratic wagons oonldn't haul Republican voters to the polls fast enough.
PKESIDKNT CIJ£VBI»AXD ssj s: "I want a currenoy that is stable and safe in the hands of the people." Then why not let the currency alone? No people ever before had a more "stable onrrenoy." The Chicago Inter Ocean pertinently asks why should the President seek to carry out the wild, visionary financial schemes of Watterson, Neal A Co., made Bt the Chicago wigwam in 1892? The fear that he and his party will carry out wild schemes has already robbed the nation of hundreds of millions of value, and it has only begun its mischief.
Now
THAT
the clouds have rolled by
the Indianapolis Sentinel gives Sim Coy this parting kick: Tho Stntiiicl congratulates the people of the Niuth ward on the defeat of the notorious Sim Coy for Councilman. The dimensions of his opponent's majority demonstrate that the Democrats of that Ward, as well as that of the remainder of the city, has no eymputliy with Coy or his methods.
For weeks before the eleotion the Sentinel spent all the force of its great ability in advocating the eleotion of the ^entire Democratic ticket. Is it not somewhat ungrateful to the man who has done so much tor Democracy in Indianapolis?
THE
great party of Jefferson will never be a gold standard party. It Is not so Inscribed In its articles of faith.—Frankfort Crescent.
The Crescent evidently does not know that Jefferson, when President, peremtorily ordered the ooinage of the silver to be stopped, and it was stopped. This was in 1805. There was free coinage of silver at that time, and had been Bince 1792, but under the ratio of 15 to 1 then prevailing silver was not worth quite so much as gold, therefore debts being paid in the cheaper money, gold was being driven out of circulation. Jefferson, in order to keep gold in the country promptly closed the mints to the silver dollar, and they remained closed until long after he was dead, or until 1835. Gold was apart of the material of the house that Jefferson built.
NKW YOBK Press:—Honest elections are the only basis of republican government, the only security (or human freedom, the only safeguard against the fatal corruption and the personal ambition which have wrecked the republics of history. The free ballot is the high est and most potent expression o( that individual liberty of action and opinion that is a cardinal tenet of Republican faith. It was in behalf of this liberty that Sumner thundered in the Senate, that Lincoln wrestled in the historic debates with Douglass, that Seward ap pealed (rom statutes of injustice to the higher law. The Republican party has been inseparably identified with the freedom of the ballot box from the hour of its birth. The Press calls on every Republican in Congress to maintain by every legitimate means the right of the nation to protect the source of all government authority from the invasion of violence and fraud.
THE bill to revoke two amendments of the constitution, by repealing the acts providing for their enforcement, have passed the Hoose by a strict party vote. These laws were passed for purpose of protecting the integrity the ballot box and seouring an honest expression of the popular will. It nut true, as the Democrats assert, that they authorize the employment of mili tary force. They provide (or the sp pointment of supervisors o( elections representing both parties by the United States Circuit Judges upon petition ten reputable citizens. These supervisors may challenge voters, inspect count of ballots, and make Brreets disturbances of the peooe. This can
the of
the for be
done only at elections where Federal oilicera are voted for. They are to be repealed not because they signify bayonet rule, but because they stand the way of election frauds in the north such as New York, Chicago, Cincinnati and Philadelphia. This is the pluin truth ubout the whole mutter.

Restoring Lost Articles Through the Medium of the Press.

The professional finder is a feature of New York city not found elsewhere. The most successful man following this profession is described by the Journal as a well-known but silent figure around the cafes and hotel corridors of the nineteenth precinct. This finder has the eyes of a hawk, and as he walks along the avenues he scans every inch of sidewalk, including- the gutter, the latter being a rich place for finds. But he does not ply his trade by chance, and anything he finds in his unprofessional strolls he looks upon as the results of pleasure, not of business. He listens at tables of the popular cafes and pioks up many an odd job in this way, as gentlemen telling of IOSK.5 are referred to him as the man of all others most likely to find the missing article. When Introduced to the unfortunate loser this man is particular to ask every detail about the loss, on which street the loser was walking when he discovered his misfortune, and the course he had taken from the time he was last oognizant of still having the article in his possession. After he has obtained all the data possible he wishes the party farewell and goes forth to find. If the stone or purse, or whatever it may be, has not been picked up as accidentally as it was lost, the professional will get It and a fine present for delivering it up to its owner. The professional finder is an honest man, as honesty is his best policy. Nobody, to see the finder at work, would know that he was scanning the ground for treasure. He walks erect, but not even a pin on the sidewalk from house line to curb escapes his graze.
The finder gets his news tips principally from the morning newspapers. He Is one of the first to buy the papers, long before the break of day, and he turns only to the "Reward" and "Lost and Found columns. The other news in the paper is nothing to him. A president may have been elected, an island annexed or a cabinet named—he cares not. Whenever the article advertised has been lost going from one point of the city to another, the finder starts at the first mentioned place and travels to the terminus. Oftener than would be supposed he finds the prize and realizes enough in the way of reward to keep him In excellent style for a week or more. He pays attention only to the most valuable advertisements. His eye is trained to look only in the most likely places in which a ring would roll or a diamond pin would drop. Perhaps a foot has trodden upon the article and crushed it into the color of the sidewalk the merest hint of gold or stone suffices to attract his attention. Broadway is his best promenade. and Fifth avenue comes next, closely followed by Sixth avenue. The park Is also a fruitful source of income, especially the drive, and on the walk which skirts the fashionable drive the professional finder takes many a summer stroll, not alone for pleasure, but often to his profit. When there is no clew to an owner the finder is entitled to his find, but he watches the newspapers for advertised rewards, and keeps advertised himself. He says his good name Is of great value to him.
A
FORBIDDEN SONG.
The Osly Tune It Was Mot Permissible to Play In the Oanoe Hall. I recall an interesting Bcene in Arbor's old dance hall in Silver Cliff, In the winter of 1878-79, writes a Denver correspondent of the New York World. The Silver Cliff excitement then ranked only second to that of Leadville, and thousands were rushing to the new Eldorado.
The great dance hall was crowded with miners, prospectors and tenderfeet. Two sets of dancers had been on the floor all the evening. Two long rows of gaming tables had also been running at full blast, and at' midnight there came a lull in the .dancing for lunch. Some of the boys took posession of the platform, and a young fellow dressed in jacket and overalls threw his slouch Jiat back on his head and struck up some familiar tune on the piano. There were about a dozen in the party who joined in the singing. Suddenly one of the boy* started up "Home, Sweet Home." The young man at the piano struck in with an accompaniment, and that old-time song of loved ones and home association began to fill the great hall. "Pop" Arbour was soon seen running towards the orchestra platform. He had no objection to gospel hymns, but entered a protest at "Home, Sweet Home." "Don't, boys don't sing that song here." "Why not?" asked one of the boys. "You will make all of the girls homesick and break up the dance hall. Sing any song want to, but not 'Home, Sweet Home,'"
A Plucky Boy Soldier.
In the recollections of "A Man of Letters Under the Empire and the Restoration" a story is told of a French poet, Marquis de .Saint-Marc, which would do credit to some of the military heroes of history. When Saint-Marc was fifteen years old he was ensign of a troop of cavalry in the French army and took part In the battle of Fontenoy. The first charge of the English columns scattered and overthrew the first line of Saint-Marc's regiment and the boy, seated on his horse and unharmed, was left alone. "In that terrible moment," he said, speaking of it afterward, "I remembered nothing except that I had been told not to flinch and always to hold my standard upright. I did that with all my strength. Then the second line rushed forward. Before I quite understood it I was surrounded with friends, who wrapped me up in my flag and carried me to Louis XV., who embraced me and made me a lieutenant then and there.'

A Deadly Tree.
The cannibal tree of Australia grows in the form of a gigantic pineapple, seldom reaching a height exceeding ten or twelve feet. Its height, however, is not a criterion to its diameter, as the reader will imagine when told that one eight feet in height may be five feet through at the base. The "leaves" resemble broad planks and are frequently fifteen feet long, twenty inches broad and one and a half feet thick at the base. These board-like leaves all put out at the top and hang down so as to form a sort of umbrella around the stem. Upon the apex of the cone around which these leaves concentrate are two concave figures, resembling dinner plates, one above the other. These are constantly filled with an intoxioating honey. A bird may light upon the edge of these or a man or an animal may walk up the leaves to indulge in stolen sweets but death is the penalty for such rashness. The instant the honey receptacles are touched the leaves close like a trap and squeeze the life out of the meddler. After awhile the leaves will relax their vise-like grasp, the horrid tenacles will slowly unfold and nature has set her trap for another victim.
TroubUsome Neighbors.
The wild Cossacks, living away down in the southernmost part of the Russian empire spend most of their time harassing the Turks. They are peculiarly savage in appearance. Their uniform is the Cossack coat, full trousers, scarlet undercoat hooked up to the neck, big boots, and as an overcoat thev wear a bourka, a circular cloak made of coarse felt with long, shaggy hair on one side of it. This cloak is big enough to cover the rider and much of the horse. The most distinctive point in their dress, however, is the cylindrical hat of black astralcan which they wear at all seasons. The top is of cloth or velvet. They form part of the Russian cavalry and live principally on plunder, stealing during their raids into Turkey anything they can find, from a chicken to a child.
People Who Ought to De Swimmers. The seemingly strange. suggestion is made and strongly pressed in England that the mdn who man the navy should be taught how to swim. Ordinary sailors are Instructed and expected to qualify in swimming, but the marines, firemen and engineers are not, and it is a fact that a large portion of the latter large body of man who serve on warships cannot swim. It is said that many more men would have been saved from the Victoria but for this fact also that many sailors who were good Bwimmers were undoubtedly dragged down by the men who were not. .The matter has been taken up in parliament, and it is probable that swimming will be Insisted on as a part of the training of every man serving aboard ship.

The hornet was the first paper maker and holds the original patent. The paper it makes is about like that of the newspaper, nearly as firm, and made of essentially the same material —woody fibers scraped from old rails and boards.

Headache anil Dyspepsia. William E. Rockwell, No. 512 west 57.th street, New York, says: "I have been a martyr to bilious headache and dyspepsia. Any indiscretisn in diet, overfatigue or cld, brings on a fit of indigestion, followed by a headache lasting two or three days at a time. I think I must have tried over twenty different remedies, which "were recommended as certain cures by loving friends, but it was no use. At last I thought I would take a simple course of purgation with Brandreth'a Pills. For tho first week I took two pills a night, then one pill for thirty nights in that time I gained three pounds in weight, and never had an ache or a pain since."
Disease one part of tho body will eventually fill the whole body with disease Every vear or two some part of the system grows weak and begins to decay. Such part should be removed at once, and new matter be allowed to take its place. There's no need of cutting it out with a surgeon's scalpel. Purge away the old, diseased and wornout parts with Hrandreth's Pills.

Put Up and Put Itown I want a word to rhyme with Ills, I have It now I'll putdown pills Excuse mc, though—than put down pills. 1 rather suffer, some big ills. To put down the old-fashioned, huge, bitter pills, that griped so and made such disturbance internally, is more than a wise man will do. He will uot put up with such unnecessary suffering. He uses Dr Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. As a Liver Pill they are unequaled. Smallest, chea|est, easiest to take. Put up in vials, hermetically sealed, hence always fnpsh and reliable, which is not true of the large pills. In wood or pasteboard boxes. As a gentle laxative only one Pellet for a dose. Three to four of these tiny, sugar coated granules act pleasantly and painlessly as a cathartic.

The Epitaph.
Alas! another Doctor's epitaph, Now enree his woee and ills, Death came to him by telegraph,
And stopped his selling pills.
He had a coating on his tongue, His teeth went long ago, From taking calomel when young,
As all the people know.
Now do not think it suicide Which cured so many ills, He simply took more calomel,
Instead of Smail's Liver Pills. G. A. B. Oil Externally.
