Pectoral will relieve you Try it. Keep it inthe house. You are liable to have a cough at any time, and no oilier remedy is so effect ivo as this worldironowned prepara-

I tion. No household, with young children, should be without it.

Scores of lives are saved every year by its timely use.

Amanda B. .Tenner, Northampton, Mass., writes Common gratitudo im pels me to acknowledge the great benefits I have derived for my children from the use of Ayer's'niost excellent Cherry Pectoral. I "had lost two dear children from croup and consumption, and had the greatest fear of losing my only remaining daughter and son, as they were delicate. Happily, I find that by giving them Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, on tlio first symptoms of throat or lung trouble, they are relieved from danger, and are becoming robust, healthy children." "In the -winter of 1885 I took a bad cold which, in spite of every known remedy, grew worse, so that the family physician considered me incurable, supposing me to bo in consumption. As a last resort I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and, in a short time, the cure was complete. Since then 1 have never been without this medicine. I am fifty years of age, weigh over 180 pounds, and attribute my good health to the use of

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral."—G.W.Youker, Salem, N. J. Last winter I contracted a severe cold, which by repeated exposure, bocame quite obstinate. I was much troubled with hoarseness and bronchial irritation. After trying various medicines, without relief, I at last purchased a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. On taking this medicine, my cough ceased almost immediately, and I have been well ever since."—Rev. Thos. B. Russell, Secretary Holston Conference and P. E. of the Greenville District, M. E.

INCKKA^IC OF OKI K.

It would seem frniii reading of the news(viitcrs that crime of almost nil kinds in this country, is greatly 011 the iiHTease. Of course I tlisre is a constant liioren the facilities fur leai ninir of such tliiugs are I vastly greater than a half century ago, but, mitwitlistanding, it is iloubtful if the different phases of crime were -ver more rampant tlian now. Take, for instance, that branch, if 1 it may be so termed, of crime known as emI bezzlement. It is remarkable the number of scoundrels that get away with other people's 1 money. The amount is astonishing. The I grand total of money embezzled from corpor1 ations, private tirins and the United States I Government during the year 18K9 was $8,582,1 753. The annual appropriations for the United

We have become entirely too fast, too reckless, too dishonest. We require entirely too much. Our income will not admit of such expenditures. Fortunes are acquired too quick to remain. Slow honest toil does not suit us 111 this day and age. But reaction sets in. It always does. A halt is demanded. Remorse, flight, suicide fallow, the sure results of fast living and a quick downfall.

Embezzlement is not the only crime that appears to grow with our growth. Every day almost, murders of a most horrible nature are recorded in some part or the other of the country until with many they attract but little attention. It has to be a blood curdler, indeed, now, if it receives more than a passing thought. Where some villain succeeds in taking the lives of two or three persons he can attract attention. This seems to be about the way we regard it now-a-dayB. Crime in other directions would seem to lie on the increase.

OKAWI'ORD'S 11) I. AN I). The two Btreaks of rust knowu as the Midland railway, running from Anderson to Hrown's Valley, in this county, seoi^is to be having a sorrowful time of it. Crawford, its owner, is in constant trouble concerning it, and although the U. S. Court at Indianapolis decided a few days ago that the appointmeut of a receiver was not necessary, some of the bondholders are again after him aud will give him no rest. The truth is the original organization of the Midland, eighteen or twenty years ago, was conceived and born in fraud the first incorporators, or most of theui, Were frauds, aud the whole thing a swindle. The original incorporators had little money and less responsible financial reputation. They aimed, it seemed, to get as much money from greenhorns along the line as possible iu the way of subscribing for stock, and put none in themselves. The line began and ended no where. There was little business for it to do, and never has been. Crawford is only acting like the fellows who gave birth to the thing, that is, to get all possible out of it,but put none iu when it can be avoided. If he can gt some truuk line to take it oil bis hands we doubt uot he would do so at once. In the hands of some responsible corporation the

of population and

I States Navy Department are less than double I the amount stolen, while it would meet the expenses of the War Department for three months. It is about equal to the total value of e.ither the living animals, fresh ami salt beef, lard, leather, petroleum, woods or cheese exported from this country to Great Britain in a year. It is more than equal to the combined annual exports to Great Britain of iron, copper and sugar, and two-thirds as great as the total volume of tobacco or maize annually exported to the same country, those being the most important items of America's impor trade. Here are the amounts and names of a few only of the criminals who have embezzled funds, gj other people and escaped:

H. W. Davis, Cincinnati. *100.0D0 Treasurer Benson, of Barns City, N. Dakota, $110,000 Joseph A. Moore, agent of the Conneticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, Indianapolis, $500,000: .John K.

The daily papers of this ciiy have reduced the size of their sheets from 28 to 21 columes. The proprietors very sensibly concluded that the former size was too large aud expensive for the amount received per week from subscribers for it. Tho fact is newspapers all over this country are entirely too cheap. There is entirely too much competition iu the publishing business. Rates are cut down both in advertising and subscription below living prices. If publishers aro to pay their debts they cannot give their papers away, as in many instances seems to be the case. The reduction in size is likewise an indication of the continuation of stringent times, scarcity of money and lack of euough business, seen and felt all over the country. It is the the Harrison boom we are now witnessing—the good times that were to immediately follow after his inauguration. It's protection we are now hav ing, and its effects are seen in numerous business failures in many parts of the West. CraW' fordsville publishers, however, are not alone,

The dull times seeui contageous.

STUIKE AMONG It. K. KMPLOYKES. A strike among employees 011 the lines of railway known as the "Mackey system" was inaugurated several days since, and haB been having the usual bad effects of such occurrences. The Mackey system embraces 800 or 900 miles, with principal headquarters at Evansville, this State. The men desire increased pay, we be'iove. This they cannot get, as the business will not justify it. The strikers number several hundred persons, and business during last week was entirely suspended with the exception of tho moving of a few passenger trains. The final result will be that the strikers, or most of them at least, will be hunting for work elsewhere. In this day of scarcity of money and labor, a man having even a half situation had better retain it than engage in the uncertain results of a strike.

THE CRAWFOKDesVlLLE WEEKLY REVIEW

TIIK I"AST VEAH'S F.VJLl'RES. liradstreet's reports 11,719 failures in the United States for the year 18S9, with liabilities if 8110,359,490 and assets $70,699,769. This is a larger number of failures nud greater liabilities than for any other year in the past five. The increase in the number of failures over 1888 is 1,182 increase in liabilities, $20,117,088 increase 111 assets, £8,599,858. New York City had 673 failures in 1889, with liabilities of assets $4,086,739, against 529 failures in 1888, with liabilities of $17,022,886, and assets of $7,078,870.

Hradstreet's table, giving failures, with liabilities and assets, for the past five years, shows that the number of failures in New York City has nearly doubled since 1885. In that year there were only 372 failures, but the liabilities, $16,122,515, against the $10,539,600

of 1,1,9 year The a89Hts were $ti 620 02R 80

that the proportion of assets to liabilities was not greatly changed last year in comparison with 1885. Throughout the couutry last year the Middle States had the largest number of failures—2,912—and the Western States came next with 2,756.

THERE are two commissioners to elect tbis year, and it is said there will be quits a number of candidates for the positious. The place just suits some meu of lazy dispositions who love to hang around the court house, besides there is more money in it than formerly. The law contemplates that Commissioners' Court shall uot average over nine days in each term and four terms in a year, making 36 days in a year. The commissioners in this county will average 65 to 75 days every year in atteadance. They are paid $3.50 per day, and although the day's business may not consume over an hour still they draw pay for a day's work. This is the way these fellows have of doing. They never object, it is noticed, to a called session, and never fail to make their own allowances. It's a soft place for mnuy of the honest grangers who are not blessed with an inclination to work hard. It's pleasant, you kuow, to sit down in a warm room aud look wise toward people having business with you.

THIOT are still wraugliiig over the post master at Lafayette. It is is a contest, it seems between the superlatively pious led by a sort of preacher kuowu as B. Wilson Smith, (he's one of those fellows parting his name in the middle) and a former saloon keeper known by name of Craiginile. This administration of many prayers, desires probably to appoint Smith, while, on the other hand, the majority of the citizens aud tho Congressman, Cheadle, prefer Craigniile. The contest for the place among the brethren has been going on ever since Harrison's inauguration. It's the "spoils" they want, and between the grandly pious and the side not so much so, is becoming very interesting.

IF those of the republican press of this state, who champion the cause of the Yau Antwerp school book monopoly are not subsidised, why do they object to parents of school children paying 50 per cent, less more for books than under '.he old mouopoly system? Surely no honest uewspaper can oppose honest competition aud a reduction in any of the necessities of life which may be brought about by legislation. However, as the months pass by, tho new school books and their popular prices are rapidly growing in favor, aDd the hold of the Van Antwerp gang becoming weaker, and those purchased newspapers are finding their work useless.

CANDIDATES for various offices are beginning to be named for places on the democratic state ticket to be nominated this year. We kuow of no candidates for any position in this part of the state, but would suggest that for the oftices of Secretary of State, Fed. McGiuley, the present Mayor of Lafayette, would be an excellent inau for the place. He is a hustler in politics, is a live democrat, and would bring up bis end of the ticket iu first-class style. We know nothing of Mr. Mc's inclinations in the matter, don't know that he has ever given it a moment's thought, but believe it would be an excellent nomination,

IT pays very handsomely to be an "artist/' such as Madam Patti, who has been singing at Chicago lately, aud has received, it is stated, $4,000 per night. It also indicates what fools with money many of the American people are. While thousands around them may aud are suffering for the commonest uecesities of life, those fools will pay $1,200 and SI,500 for seats for a few nights to hear this woman sing. So long as there is so much misery and starvation close to them, they have no moral right to show such extravagance.

DAVIS, of the Newport Hoosier State, the man who doesn't like ex-Sheriil Harper, came all the way from his village to attend the Keating-Cory prize fight. This best Illustrates the appetite of the man. No wonder he does not liko any peace officer. He was, 110 doubt, best suited in the crowd that made up the audience at the prize fight. —q

OCT in Kansas—bleeding Kansas—me farm ers are burning corn for fuel—running opposi tion to a coal mine as it were. Kansas gave Harrison 80,000 majority, thereby perpetuating a war tariff aud thus securing "home market." Oh! how those Kansas farmers must rejoice over this glorious "home market."

True Farmers' Alliance, Grangers and Knights of Labor, of Kansas, have formed an alliance, and will take a prominent part in the political movements of that State this year. The Prohibitionists do not nave, it appears, much strength iu that State, and if they ever did have it appears to be melting away.

A FOKT WAYNK paper announces that Munson, of that city, who has twice been a candidate on tho democratic State ticket, will uot appear this year for any position. It is a wonder that that county can consent for one campaign at least to go by without having one of its citizens on the ticket.

Arn Wc American Citizens or Iiritigh Subject* A statement is published by a distinguished Englishman that British subjects have twelve billions of money iuveited in foreign enterprises. This statement leads us to look more closely at the enormous investment of English capital in lands and the protected industries of the United States. The first thiug is the millions of acres of our best grazing lands that had been donated to railroad corporations, which have passed over to British capitalists, and to-day two-thirds of these donations, together with the reserved intermediate sections, are covered with cattle growing and fattening for the English market, to be shipped ou these railroads at rebated rates, in defiance of the Inter-State Commission, to a new range of shambles oh the coast of New Jersey and Long Island, where a line of steamers tako them to the European markets. These cattle grow up on lands that are untaxed, and cost the Euglishmen a mere triile, and their shipment on railroads mortgaged to aud virtually owned by British subjects, puts the market price of cattle so low that the farmers of the Mississippi valley vylio grow but a few head for sale, on lands that are worth from $30 to $60 per acre, are beiug compelled to abandon cattle growing altogether. The entire cattle business will be transferred from the formerly prosperous farmers of this valley to actual British subjects, aud the consumers of beof will be compelled to pay as much for the meats consumed in the Uuited States as it is retailed for in England and the Continent.

The next thing that affects the farmers of this valley is the grain product. All kinds of cereals have been produced greatly in excess of home consumption, and a foreign market has to be sought for this surplus. But here comes tho British capitalist, with part of the twelve billions referred to above, aud purchases all the extensive mills and elevators in the grain growiug sections ef the Uuited States. Now, what is to be the outcome of this? The surplus grain will be bought and stored and ground by foreign British capitalists at a price so low that the producer will be bankrupt, But what about the consumer in the United States? What is the result at this time? With wheat from the farmer at 50 or 60 cents per bushels these big mills are supplying the United States with flour at $5 to a barrel. They fix the price, and all the small mills throughout the whole country are controlled by it. Four and one-half bushels of wheat at 60 cents is $2.70, being the cost of a barrel of flour, but the consumers pays $5 to $6 for it. Now, can you see why British capitalists come here and purchase all our mills? The surplus of flour that cannot be sold to consumers in the United States is shipped to New York on railroads mortgaged to English capitalists, aud from tliero on English steamers to Liverpool and distributed to the interior aud sold to consumers. Money iu England is only worth two or three per cent., butluvest in cattle and grain in tho Uuited States it brings from 20 to 50 per cent., while the foreigner evade- nearly all taxation.

All the leading breweries and distilleries are beiug bought up by English syndicates. All the iron and steel manufactories are being bought up by them. Many of the cotton aud woolen factories, and I see they are on a deal for the Gaar farming implement factory at Richmond, Ind. Why does English capital seek such exteuded investment in American products and American enterprises? The re publican system of protection is the groundwork for all these schemes. There is nothing that Ainericau citizeim could do that would please the British subject more than to continue our protective system. When he has got all our leading enterprises into his hands he can run thein at a cost to citizens of from 40 to 75 per cent, aud put the profit in his British pocket. Aud the American citizen is so bliud that he fails to see the point, aud goes on voting for protection to homo industries that are owned and run by British capital. You see that these protected interests are being investigated by a Congressional committee every day, and parties are pleadiag for more protection, while the English syndicate is closeted in

Restlessness, a feverish feeling, sleeplessness, periodic heartaches, dizziness, dimness of vision, ringing in the ears, (iifliculty 111 thinking, trouble iu remembering names and the laces even of friends. The victim of 1'aresis is often shocked or annoyed by little noises and trilling things.

The nervous system is often in such condition that very slight causes, or even no cause at ail, may excite to sudden outbursts of anger. A feeling of pressure upon the brum is frequently followed by seasons of despondency, mentiil depression alternating with periods of wild, illusive hopes. When tho brain begms-to consume or decay, many of these syinptons become aggravated. The world seems strange or different from what it was in the past, thought becomes a posit ivo cflort and life an intense burden.

The system needs soothing, toning, and building up. Something unusual is demanded. And here is where the great difliculty has always been— to find something pure and yet positive in its results. The Into Prof. Phelps, of Dartmouth College realized this when he !egan hisI investigation which resulted in the discovery of Paine's Celery Compound. IJo knew men Ond women required something heretofore unknown to the world, and his great discovery has furnished it. This compound checks I'areBis, even after it has secured a foothold in the system. Taken 011 tho approach of the first symptoms, it will positively prevent their increase. Its hi|th endorsements by the medical fraternity and the cures it is a fleeting easily account for its wonderful popularity aud the unusual stir It has caused in this community.
