FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1895.
THIS Administration has added Sl(2.000,000 to the bonded debt, and it may have to increase this sum $50,000,000 or ^100,000,000. No party in this country which increases the debt in time of peace can win in the next election.
Gold is going out again. aDd the Treasury reserve is below the limit. The New York Tribune pertinently asks: Why not try the experiment of increasing the National revenue until it equals the expenditures? People and nations that spend more than they receive usually do get into trouble.
CHICAGO Inter-Ocean: Times and conditions change. If Republicans had been in power the McKinley law •would have been amended. But the great principle of protection would have remained intact and there would have been no deficit and no sale to English gold bugs.
THE Philadelphia Times, a Democratic paper, says it is a public disgrace that the gold reserve in the Treasury is to-day dependent upon a syndicate of Wall street bankers, but it is so because the laws which the Administration must execute make it impossible for the Government to maintain itself in any other way.
ST. LOUIS Globe TJciiwcrat: There is a constitutional amendment pending in Louisiana, which imposes an educatioal requirement in the matter of the suffrage. Its object, of course, is to disfranchise the negroes but, strangely enough, a large proportion of the negroes favor it as a stimulant to education, while the opposition to it comes mainly from white men who object to the taking of the franchise from illit-erates-'Of their own color. The situation is a surprising one, and the politicians do not know what to do about it.
THE Democratic Louisville Times has this mixture of fact and fiction: Ex-President Harrison is conducting his campaign with his usual skill, and there are few as skillful politicians in the country as that same Ben Harrison. He has the advantage of an army of ex-ofliceholders, and those who recall the campaign of 1SU2 know what a potent factor such an army is in a national convention. Harrison also knows when to use and when not to use his tongue. The bosses will have their hands full to beat him. Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland were three times contending candidates for President, and to the list maybe added the name of Ben Harrison in 1SDG.
CHICAGO Tribune:- It will probably be found necessary for the Administration to make another bond issne as the only means left for maintaining the party and avoiding the National dishonor of semi-repudiation, with the industrial and commercial paralysis which would follow swiftly upon the announcement that the parity was no longer to be preserved. Already nearly $180,000,000 have been obtained in this way since she Democrats undertook the direction of affairs, the fact being a standing monument to the folly of the pig-headedness which was not content to let well enough alone.
AT the reunion of the Army of the Tennessee at Cincinnati Col. Fred D. Grant made a very entertaining address, in which he related Gen. Grant's plan of crushing the Confederacy. The plan was to make a general advance all along the line from the Atlantic to the Mississippi with overwhelming numbers, strike the already paralyzed Confederacy and crush it. The advance was made and it was completely successful, but at a frightful cost of life. However, it was a real economy of blood, for had the Halleck-plan been persisted in the South could have fought several years longer.
THE story goes that Governor Matthews in preparing for the dedication of the National Park at Chickamauga found himself hampered for want of funds. The law provides that none of the §40,000 appropriated by the last legislature to erect monuments to the memory of Indiana soldiers at Chicka mauga shall be used for military or other ceremonies at the dedication Being thus handicapped the Governor announced that he would bear the ex pense himself. As other states were making preparations for a patriotic showing he determined that Indiana should not be behind. He took, 700 tents out of the state house and shipped them together with a forqe of men to arrange the camp, and paid for it out of the pocket of his striped trousers,
In taking a train load of people there •were various items that required mon ey,»and the Governor supplied it. this is true Indiana owes Governor Matthews a debt of gratitude. A1 though of opposing politics THE JOUIJ KAI, is generous enough to say that such a Governor is an honor to the State.

News Briefly Told from Various Towns in Indiana.

1

It is understood that ex-Pres-ident Harrison will be asked to piu sent the case for the organization.

WABASH, Ind., Sept. 17.—William Scliaffer, of Packerton, who was arrested and fined in a justice court for kissing Mrs. Charles Brown, of that place, and who appealed to the circuit court, has been acquitted.

She kept the secret until August, when she informed her husband, who caused the arrest of Schaffer for assault.

YOU LACK STRENGTH.
Weak Nerves, Tired, Exhausted Bodies.
THE COHPLAINT OF THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS.
Health and Strength are Within Your Grasp.
1)11. (JKKESE'S XEKVUKA MAKES TOl'. STRONG AND WELL.
It !h the 4rrat Kcstor.ilive of Xene and Body.
The world is fillen with people who, while not exactly sick, yet lack strength. They are weak, tired, languid and nervous, especially at this season of the hear, and have.lost their old-time vigor and energy, and go about their work in a listless manner, without ambition, and feeling dull and dispirited.
In this connection we publish the cure of Mrs. B. B. Graves, of Middlefield, Mass.. in the lady's own words: ••I have been sick for two years, and have been a great sufferer during all that time. I was fearfully nervous, and could get but little sleep. I was constantly worrying oabout someting. My head ached nearly all the time so that I could hardly endure it. My stomach was in a terrible condition, and I could eat but very little. I suffered awfully from the little food I did eat. "I was frightfully weak and exhausted all the time, and could do almost no work at all. I was troubled with rheumatism. I was in a fearful condition from all these complaints, and thought I should never get well. I

took medicines and employed doctors but jrot no better. '•Finally I began the use of Dr. Greene's Xervura blood and nerve remedy. and immediately there was an improvement. I gained rapidly in health and strength, and everyone of my troubles soon left me. I was entirely cured of them all bv that wonderful medicine. Dr. (ireene's Xervura blood and nerve remedy. There is no other medicine in the world that will do what that will. I advise everybody to use it.''
Use it—it will make you strong and well—eive you back your snap, energy and ambition to work.
It is not a patent medicine, but the prescription of the most succcessful living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 34 Temple Place, Boston. Mass. He has the largest practice in the world, and this grand medical discovery is the result of his vast experience. jThe grand reputation of Dr. Greene is a guarantee that his medicine will cure, and the fact that iie can be consulted by anyone at any time, free of- charge personally or by letter, gives absolute assurance of the beneficial action of this wonderful medicine.
