TUB foot bail fence promised to be an issue in the next oampaign.
THE New York Sun is hedging. It advises its readers "not to bet your all on elections, bnt save a stake for football."
THE safe thing for the saloon keepers to do is to observe the screen ordinance. A careful reading of the Supreme Court decision night save them several dollars.
WHAT has become of the free coinage of silver which the Democratic party promised in the Chicago platform? Safely hid away in the vest pocket of Grover Cleveland, where it will be seen no more. He iB a goldite and smashes platforms in favor of free silver without regard to what his party promised.
AN experiment, the resnlts of whioh will be watched with much interest, is that of shipping hay from Colorado to England, by the way of Galveston. A Denver firm has contracted to ship 5,000 tons in this way, and thinkB that it can lay the hay down in Liverpool for $12 75 per ton. if so, it has a profit in sight of at least 810,000.
THE proposition to adva&ce Arizona to Statehood is cheeky. It had lees than 60,000 inhabitants in 1890, and from the reports of the depressed condition of business in that quarter in the past sis months the population can not be far above 60,000 now. Arizona can afford to Btay in the territorial stage a few years longer. We have more than enough rotten boroughs already.

is lawful, but one that re
quires him to to take them down on Monday is not. So says the Supreme Court of Indiana. Bat it was the Supreme Court of Indiana that once decided that an indictment against a liquor seller was bad because it did not allege that a gill was less than a quart.
THE California grape raisers are making an effort to have Congress put a duty of two and a half cents a pound on all Zante currants imported, as a means of promoting the sale and use of lowgrade domestic raisins. We hope that this will be don?. In 1892 we imported 86,065,728 poundB of Zante ourrants, valued at $1,209,095. This would make a pleasant addition to the yearly receipts of the fruit growers of

THE Indianapolis Journal of Sunday remarked that— The country will bo relieved when Uie alliterative Joshua Jump, of Tcrre Haute, ceases to be served up for breakfast, dinner and supper. Jump should te appointed to olHcc und eliminated from public view.
Well, Jump was appointed on Monday and the country can now turn its attention to John G. Shanklin. Shanklie, like Hulett, was an original Cleveland man, but the o. C. m. doesn't seem to be anywhere near the public trough.
PROP. FELIX ADLER defines in the November Forum the gospel of the Ethical Societies which he founded. What they preach, he says, is essentially this: "That good life is possible to all without the previous acceptance of any creed, irrespective of religious opinion, or hiloeophic theory and that the way of righteousness is open and can be entered directly without a previous de tour through the land of faith or philosophy." This, he says, does not imply that belief in God or Christ iB denied.
HOKE SMITH seems to be still getting in bis work, as will be seen by the following press dispatch from Indianapo lis:
Saturday the quarterly payment of penalonB bcpaD here aud the veterans from all over the State Hooked to the city to receive checks for their money on the sub-treasury at Chlctgo. A (rreat deal of commotion was caused when It was learned that hundreds of their names had been dropped from the pension rolls and the excitement finally run so high as to almost ap" proach the nature of a riot. Many of the veterans frail paid railroad faro to the city and they in particular were very loud In their denunciations of the pension bureau when they handed in their vouchor* und were told that they bad either been dropped from tho rolls or their claims were under investigation in Washington. The officials of tho department here state that somo six hundredlpensloners have been dropped «lnce the last quarterly payment. instead of justice and liberality to disabled Union soldiers the Democratic policy has been one of absolute unfairness to our country's defenders. Hoke
Smith and his stool pigeon Commissioner have neither been actuated by common sense, justice nor patriotism, bnt simply by a desire to annoy and harrass Union soldiers who are in a measure dependent upon this pittance for support.

What's tho use of worrying. Of hurrying .• And Murrying, Everylwdy hurrying.
And breaking up their rest? When ovt'i ona is teaching U3, .V Preaching and bcgeechi&g us To settle down and end the fuss.
For quiet ways are best. The rain that trickles down In shower* A blessing brings to thirsty flowors Sweot fragrance from each brimming cup The gentle zephyrs gathor up.
There's ruin In the tempest's path There's ruin in the voice of wrath And they alone are blest Who early learn to-dominato Themselves, their violence abate. And prove by their sereue estato
That quiet ways aro best* Nothing's gained by worrying, By hurrying
And scurrying, Lsk With fretting and with flurrying Tho temper's often lost. And in pursuit of somo small prize We rush ahead and aro not wise, And find the unwonted exercise
A fearful price has cost. Tis better far to Join the throng That do their duty right along. Reluctant they to raise a fuss Or make themselves ridiculous. Calm and sereue In heart and nerve. Their strength is always in reserve.
And nobly stands each test! And every d&v and all about By scenes within and scenes without. We oan discern with ne'er a doubt
That quiet ways are best. —Pittsburg Commercial GazotU.
CURIOUS AMERICAN HOUSES.
The Strmnge Pile-Buildings of Villages In Venezuela. Among the sixty-five million people In the United States there aro probably not five hundred outside of the locality who are aware that at the mouth of the Mississippi there is a little village built upon wooden piles standing far out in the water. This village, which is called Balizo, Is reached from the mainland by canoes or boats, and its inhabitants have to climb a kind of pole-ladder to get to the
doorways
of
their homes. This is probably the only place in the United States in whioh "pile-dwelling's" occur but all along the Venezuelan coast and at the mouths of the Ornico and Amazon similar villages are frequently met with, many of them being inhabited by the Indian fishing tribes of the Amazon estuary.
These strange inhabitants were first discovered by Alonzo de Ojeda, who accompanied Columbus on his seoond voyage to this continent. In 1499 he undertook an independent voyage to explore the northern partof South America,and he took with him Amerigo Vespuoci, who wroto a graphic! account of the expedition. The following extract from a translation of Vespudci's work gives the origin of the name Venezuela and tolls of the connection between tho curious village discovered there and tho name Venezuela: "Proceeding' along the coast they arrived at a vast gulf resembling a tranquil lake, entering which they beheld on the eastern side a village the construction of which filled them with surprise. It consisted of twenty large houses Bhaped lllco bells, and batlt on piles driven Into tho bottom of the lake, which in this part was limpid and but of little depth. Each house was provided with a drawbridge and canoes.
From tho resemblance to the
Italian city Ojeda gave the bay the name of the Gulf of Venice (Venezia)." The country itself was afterwards called Venezuela, or Little Venice, the original Indian name being Coquibacoa.
In Lake Marcaibo, south of the bay of Venezuela, similar pile-buildings are still erected by the Goajoir Indians.
THE SLEEP OF FLOWERS.
Blossoms That Have Regular Hours tor Opening and Closing. Why should flowers sleep? asks Sir John Lubbock In "Tho Beauties of Kature and the Wonders of the World We Live In." Why should some flowers do so and not others? Moreover, different flowers keep different hours. The daisy opens at sunrise and closes at sunset, whence its name "day's-eye." The dandelion is said tojppen about seven and to close about five Arenaria rubra to be open from nine to three the white water lily from sevqp to four the common mouse-ear hawkweed from eight to three the scarlet pimpernel to awaken at seven and to close soon after two Tragopogon pratensis to open at four in the morning and to close just before twelve, whence its English name, "John go to bed at noon." Farmers' boys in some parts are said to regulate their dhmer-time by it. Other flowers, on the contrary, open in the evening.
Now it is obvious that flowers which fertilized by night-flying insects would derive no advantage from being open by day and, on the other hand, that those which are fertilized by bees would gain nothing by being open at night. Nay, it would be a distinct disadvantage, because it would render them liable to be robbed of their honey and pollen by insects which aro not capable of fertilizing them. I have ventured to suggest, then, that the closing of the flowers tnav have reference to tho habits of insects, and it may be observed also, In support of this, that wind-fertilized flowers do uot sleep, and that many of those flowers which attract Insects by smell open and emit their scent at particular hours thus Hesperus matronalis and Lychnis vespertina smell in the evening, and Orchisbifolia is particularly sweet at night.

Being a sufferer from chronic catarrh, and having derived great benefit from the use of Ely's Cream Balm. I can highly recommend it. Its sales are far in excess of all other catarrh remedies.—B. Franken, Druggist, Sigourney, Iowa.

Self 1'raUte.
Self praise is no recommendation, but there are times when one must pjrmit a person to tell the truth about himself. Wnen what he says is supported by the testimony of others no reasonable man will doubthis word. Now, to say that Allcock's Porous Plasters are the only genuine and reliable porous plasters made is not self praise in the slightest degree. They have stood the test for over thirty, years, and in proof of their merits it is only necessary to call attention to the cures they have effect ed and to the voluntary testimonials of thOBe who have nsed them.
Beware ot imitations, and do not be deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for Allcock's, and let no solicitation or explanation .nducc to accept a substitute.
