FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1894.

4 Mb. linooKsniRK lias discovered that Henry U. Johnson is not tongue-tied.

TIIK Democratic party is so much opposed to protection that it will not protect the treasury from bankruptcy.

THK income tax measure proposed will be unnecessary. If the Wilson bill passes there will be no incomes to tax.

NITIM'RKSSINO petitions from constituents is not a good method to obtain votes, as Mr. Urookshire will discover when the time rolls around for the people to have, their say.

THE Chicago Tribune, which is a protective and free trade paper by turns, says to be blistered by the Wilson bill and bled by the income tax is a little more than the body politic will stand.

CONGRESSMAN UROOKSHIRE will have occasion to rememder Representative Johnson, of Richmond, so long as he remains a member of Congress, which will be one year from the -Itli of next March.

AT least 32.000,000 has been invested in machinery in Louisiana since the McKinley bill was passed, upon the supposition that the bounty was going to continue, and the beet sugar lias grown from nothing to an important industry.

TIIE ''cuckoos" want to drop the Hawaiian business, but Representative Hoi man and other Democrats in Congress propose that the Administration shall be rebuked. Like Hanquo's ghost the Cleveland policy will not down. -1

In regard to the threat of Queen Lil to sue the Government of the United States for damages, the Toledo Commercial advises her to sue Urover for breach of promise, and opines she will have a sure ease. for. says" the Commercial, "Did't drover promise to give her back her throne? Did he do it?" y.

In 1S8"» tins country impoi'lecl 100 bales of Egyption cotton. Knell year the number ol' bales imported has steadily increased until in 1 81)3 nearly •40.000 bales were imported. As Indian wheat is driving American out of European markets, so will Egyptian cotton drive us out of the foreign market. American labor cannot compete with Indians and Egyptians working for eighteen cents a da v.

THE Ways and Means Committee has agreed upon an income tax bill. All classes of incomes are included in the measure, and the uniform rate of 2 per cent, tax on incomes of S-l.oooand over is fixed. The tax is to go into effect January

1.ISU").

and the first collection

is to be made July 1. lS'.ifi. It seems the Democratic party is determined to commit hari kari. It is safe to say. however.?! hat the light against an income tax will be more bitter than it has been against the Wilson bill. The Ways and Means Committee may propose but Congress disposes.

RICHMOND Hem: Representative Johnsoil is still running his buzz saw into knotty Democratic timber with much force and effect. Mr. Urookshire. of the Crawfordsville district, was his victim yesterday. Johnson charged him with suppressing petitions from his constituents in opposition to the Wilson bill while he was taking particular pains to bring forward—even to the point of having them read before the whole House—petitions in its favor. Urookshire tried to dodge, evade or escape any way, but the buz/, saw had him. "cause he didn't watch out.

ANOTHER steamer has arrived from 'Honolulu and brings the intelligence that Minister Willis wants his apple "back. He called upon President Dole after receiving that gentleman's re fusal to surrender to the ex-Queen and endeavored to have returned to him all thecorrespondence on the subject of the restoration and expunge from the rec ords everything pertaining to the subject. It is needless to say that the plucky President declined with thanks.

When persuavive words failed he then threatened to remove the American war ships and break off diplomatic re ations between the two countries. This had no effect and Willis returned to the legation a sadder but wiser man. The best thing Willis can do is to come home. Cleveland. Gresliam, Blount and Willis have made themselves the laughing stock of the world.

FA IH Kl'KESKN TATI OX. Proportional representation is a legislative reform which proposes to make representative bodies reflect accurately the sentiment of the people. It applies to the National House of Representatives, State Legislatures and City Councils. These bodies are now miscalled representative. In nine cases out of ten they do no not contain members of the different parties in proportion to the strength of the parties as shown by the vote of the people. Proportional representation is accora plislied by doing away with congressional districts in the States, in legislatures by making the legislative districts large enough to have about eleven representatives, and in cities by wiping out ward lines. All candidates would be voted for at large and each party would elect the number of candidates its vote showed it to be entitled to.

Proportional representation is not a theory only. It is successfully practiced in three cantons in Switzerland and will probably soon be adopted in several other cantons. The details are simple and can be easily adapted to the Australian ballot law. Proportional representation would be fair to all parties, would reduce the influence of the boss and cut off the power of the venal voter to decide elections of representatives.

Proportional representation would bring the best men of both parties to the front and relegate the nonenities to the oblivion where they belong.

Proportional representation is so fair and just on the face of it, so practical in its workings, so beneficent in its results and is a remedy foi' such a generally recognized evil, the gerrymander, that when once the majority of the people in one State understand it they will have it. When one State adopts it, there will be an epidemic of proportional representation as there was of secret ballot laws a few years ago.

AX EXl'EXSIVK LUXURY. Speaking of Secretary Carlisle's call for bonds the Chicago Intcr-Occan says:

The amount of bonds to be issued is 850,000,000. drawing 5 per cent, interest and running ten years. That means an interest burden of $2,500,000 annually, or for the entire time §25,000.000. In other words, the election of drover Cleveland and a Democratic Congress in 1892 means, up to date, according to the figures of the Democratic Secretary of the Treasury, §75,000.000. Assuming that the debt would be paid at maturity, this would mean an annual burden,interest and sinking fund. of'§7,500,000. This loan is only a makeshift, and must therefore be set down as the first installment of what the American people will have to pay for the luxury of Democratic restoration. How many more similar issues of bonds will follow no prescience can forecast.

The §50,000.000 bonds that the Secretary has proposed to sell will not cover the 878,000.000 deficiency which he estimates it will be at the close of the fiscal year. The 'Wilson bill if it passes will further reduce the revenues by §75,000,000. The income tax and the increase of internal revenue on whisky and cigarettes it is estimated will amount to §10.000.000, so it does not require much figuring to show that there will be more than §100.000.000 to be provided for. It means another issue of §50.000.000 of bonds, and still another. If the Democratic administration runs behind §150.000.000 during the first year of its existence it means an increase of the bonded indebtedness of §(100.000.000 during the "four veavs more of Urover."

WHEN Harrison became President lie found a treasury full of money—when lie left it. it was empty.—Review.

Republican legislation put the money in the treasury, and Harrison used §290.000.000 in paying off interest bearing bonds. When he retired from the Presidency he left §120,000,000 in the reserve fund. This §120.000,000 has been reduced by the Cleveland Administration to less than §70.000.000. liesides bonds to the amount of §50.000.000 are to be issued to cover a deficiency of §78.000.000 which will accrue at the end of the fiscal year. It is useless for you to attempt to saddle your incompetent management of public affairs on the Harrison administration because it is yet fresh in the minds of the people that during that Administration. and especially during its last years, the country was never in a more prosperous condition.

AND SO Gresham is to be made the scapegoat in the Hawaiian business. The Atlanta Conntitution, which is Democratic of course, fires it into Walter Q. in this fashion:

The Hawaiian business is the most awkward and unnecessary tangle that our Government ever got into at any time in its history. After recognizing the Provisional Government, established by Americans in self defense for the protection of their interests and the interests of civilization, the Administration made the mistake of yielding to Secretary Gresham'sidea of reinstating the immoral negro Queen whose oppressive conduct caused her overthrow.

MANY, very many Republicans, are with us if we but select good material for councilmen and other officials. They desire a change, and are with us. —Review.

The people voted for a change in 1892 and it has been pretty well demonstrated that they are very tired of what they got. Democracy would run the city like it runs the State and nation—deeper and deeper into debt.

AX INDEKEXSIBLK COXSPIRACY. Some of the most scathing denunciations of the President's Hawaiian policy are from the Democratic newspapers. For instance here is the Chicago Times, which shows as little mercy for the Administration as Queen Lil exhibited for President Dole. The Time# says:

The Time* does not envy 'the subservient Democratic Representatives and Senators who have undertaken to defend Cleveland through the thick and the thin of his Hawaiian policy. If he had not been in possession of Willis' dispatch of November 1( when he sent his December message to Congress he might have been accused of a lack of foresight. As it is, he stands convicted of a most indefensible conspiracy. Minister Willis' own letters now prove the folly and criminality of the Presidents course. Never before has an Executive of the United States been forced to lay before Congress such complete material for his own overthrow. Out of the mouth of his own minister he is condemned.

Although the conspiracy has been defeated it is none the less the duty of Congress to probe the infamy to the bottom, and to hold to strict responsibility those who have been guilty of violating the constitution and the laws. All the truth has not been told. The verbal instructions to Willis are still a secret, and the orders to the naval officers have not been made public. Turn on the search light.

CIIAIRMAX WILSON'S ADMISSIONS In the course of his speech on Wednesday Chairman Wilson in advocating an amendment offered by himself to his own bill, providing that the wool schedule should not go into effect for a year, said that Arnold,Constable & Co.. of New York, and other large merchants, were waiting to see to whom they could give their orders, to home or foreign manufacturers, and that if his amendment were not adopted they might give their orders to foreign manufacturers, taking the chance of getting them at low duties. In this speech Mr. Wilson gave his whole case away. The object of the bill is to throw this country open to foreign importations, and if the bill is g'ood at one time it is good at another. If it is a benefit it should go into effect as soon as possible. If free wool is a good thing for the country, this year should receive the benefit. But Mr. Wilson's admissions would imply the contrary.

JI'DGE BRADI.EV, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, has overruled the decision of the commissioner of pensions in the case of Judge Charles 1"). Long, of Michigan. Great interest has been manifested in this as a test case. The court holds that "the power to suspend the payment of this pension is not given by statute: that if the power to withdraw or withhold it does not exist, the power to suspend the payment as a step toward withdrawal does not exist." The Judge concludes that he is of the opinion that the commissioner in suspending payment of Judge Long's pension was unauthorized by law that it is the duty of the commissioner to revoke such order and to see that the payment of the pension is continued to Long. Judgment for costs was entered against the commissioner.

THE Review attempts to place the responsibility of the present hard times at the door of the Republicans and thus utters a.lielp-me-Cassius-or-I-sink-cry in this.

After placing the country into a deep sea of financial trouble they have not the decency nor the honor to help extricate it from its perilous position, but glory in seeing it in its desperate struggles seeking to reach a liaven of safety, but will offer no friendly hand to rescue it.

Why call upon the Republicans in yonr dire distress? You have the President. the Senate by a majority of six and the House by a majority of ninety, and you have thus had the power for nearly a year. Why then appeal to the "decency and honor" of Republicans to "help extricate" you from your "perilious position?"

THE February Forum will contain an impartial review of the whole Hawaiian controversy by the eminent historian, Mr. James Schouler, of Boston, who as a student of international law has gone over the whole matter especially for the Forum—to make it plain, without an}' partisan purpose to serve.

BUSINESS waits just as it has waited for many months. Men continue idle just as they have been for half the year. But Congress is in no hurry. The honorable members draw their pay regularly and are having a jolly time.

THE Democratic party just now is marching on double quick time through Waterson's slaughter house to an open grave.'

THK process of '"untaxing" the people has begun by adding §2,500,000 to the yearly interest of the public debt.

WILLIS could not have made a worse failure of it if he had been as "paramount'" as Blount.-

DON'T the people wish that Cleveland was a candidate for President in 1894?

MILL SPRINGS ANNIVERSARY

Observed By Co. B, Tenth Indiana Regiment—Twelve Ladies Sur ^ised.

January 19, 1894, was the 32nd anniversary of the battle of Mill Springs, in which Company B, of the 10th In diana Regiment, took part, and where the regiment lost her first three men by rebel bullets, two. Carpenter and Misner, dying on the field and Ocheltree passing away in a few days. In honor of this anniversary quite a number of the survivors of Co. met at the residence of Charles Bratton, one mile east of Maee. The wives of most of the boys present were with them and enjoyed the meeting. A magnificent dinner was served at 12 o'clock to which more than forty persons sat down. Mr. Bratton and his estimable wife had left nothing undone to make the guests feel welcome and have an enjoyable time. Two large banners floated to the breeze in front of the house and the reception and dining rooms were tastefully decorated with bunting and smaller flags. After dinner the guests were entertained by short talks by Rev. G. P. Fuson and others. Gen. M. D. Manson, while making a short address, presented Mr. Bratton with a beautiful gold headed cane in token of the esteem of his comrade. This is the twelfth gathering of this company in the last three years, the first being held at Jacob Swank's, Jan. 19. "91. Charley was not surprised in receiving this token of esteem, but expressed himself as very thankful for it, saying he would preserve it as a memento of the struggles of the veterans for the preservation of the Nation. The boys have been censuring themselves for neglect of duty to their wives for some time and had decided that on this occasion to acquit themselves as becomes good soldiers President Wm. Stonebraker then called the attention of the ladies to the fact that the veteran is not altogether unmindful of his better half at these meetings and as a token of this fact he presented each of the ladies who had had company reunions with a beautiful silver butter dish neatly engraved. Those present express themselves well pleased and their surprise was unmistakable. Those receiving presents were Mesdames Jacob Swank. Jos. McDaniel, M. V. Wirt. Ios. Stubbins, Wm. Stonebraker. Sam Nicholson, Sam Bratton. A. C. Switzer. Harry Custer, Charles Bratton, Gilbert (fray and M. D. Manson.

Anniversaries That Synchronize. Last Sunday at the home of Loren Brition. in New Market, occurred a triple anniversary of the most enjoyable nature. Mr. and Mrs. Britton celebrated the first anniversary of their marriage, while Mrs. Britton's parents. A. J. Royalty and wife, and Mr. Britton's parents, Jasper Britton and wife, celebrated, each couple, their silver wedding. Both the parents of Mr. and Mrs. Loren Britton had been married just twenty-four years on the day that Loren and Miss Royalty were married. The triple anniversary was most pleasantly celebrated and the affair was one long to be- remembered.

Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous membrane the remedy used must be non-irritating. Nothing satisfactory can be accomplished with douches, snuffs, powders or astringents, because they are irritating, do not thoroughly reach the affected surfaces and should be abandoned as worse than failures. A multitude of persons who had for years borne all the worry and pain that catarrh can inflict testify to radical and permanent cures wrought by Ely's Cream Balm. Your druggist has it.

THK persistent cough, which usually follows an attack of the grip, can be permanently cured by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. W. A. McGuire of McKay, Ohio, says: "La grippe left me with a severe cough. After using several different medicines without relief, I tried Cliamberlain's Cough Remedy, which affected a permanent cure. I have also found it to be without an equal for children, when troubled with colds or croup. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye & Booe, druggists, 111 north Washington street, opposite court house.

A Hriirlitpr Outlook Than tin- World llus Kvci H-iforc Known

Changes are constantly taking place which tend to make the world happier and to cause a feeling of joy and contentment to pervade our lives. One of the greatest blessings which has fallen to mankind and which is indeed the dawning of a new era of life, has just taken place in the family of Mrs. Albert Blanchard. residing at 358 Webster Ave., Chicago. 111. She writes the following interesting letter: "My health has been very poor for several years. I would have sinking spells and was so weak that I could not hold my hand up to my head. 1 would have to lie down on the sofa and was so very nervous that I could not sleep nights. "My stomach troubled me all the time and my food distressed me so that I was afraid to eat. I had chills most of the time and sometimes chills and fever with trembling and shaking. I was also troubled with catarrh.

I was so dizzy at times that I nearly fell: 1 would grab at the chair and dark spots appeared before my eyes. I could not begin to tell now I suffered. I was so sick 1 did not enjoy life and was told that I would not live Ion"-.

MRS. ALBERT BLANCHARD.

"T took many remedies and employed several physicians but received no permanent benefit. I was induced to take Dr. Greene's Xervura blood and nerve remedy, and after using six bottles 1 found it had done wonders for me. I now feel real strong and well and can walk a couple of miles. "My stomach does not trouble me and 1 am not chilly. My catarrh has entirely disappeared. I am now so well that I am assisting my husband in the ottic? and help mother when I go home. 1 hope any one that is not well will try Dr. Greene's. Nervura blood and nerve remedy. "My little daughter. Helena, has also been using this remedy with great benefit. She was very delicate and nervous. After taking this wonderful medicine for a short time she gained three pounds and is not near so nervous as she was. do not feel afraid to recomment Dr. reene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy for I know what it has done for me and my little girl and I would advise any one who is suffering to take it."

MISS HELENA BLANCHAIU).

What a beautiful awakening, indeed, is this great discovery from j,the darkness of disease and the failures to conquer it. What a blessing to all humanity. How grateful must Mrs. Blanchard feel for the cure of herself and child. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy will do for you all that it has done for her. If you are suffering from any form of nervous or blood disease, indigestion, weak stomach. kidney or liver complaints, take this wonderful medicine and jt will cure you. Dr. Greene, the noted specialist in the cure of all chronic and nervous diseases, can be consulted at his oftiee, 35 West 14th street. New York, free, personally or by letter.
