FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11. 1895.

PEBU Republican: Every day brings & new sensation about the intentions of General Harrison. One day he is a candidate the next he is not. Then he is against all the other candidates and again he has a favorite. In the meantime the ex-President "saws wood and says nothing."

THE Indianapolis Sun asks this puzzling question: "While it is admitted that Rev. Hinshaw was found guilty on the evidence produced in court, the second degree verdict is what puzzles those who have watched the case from .start to finish. If guilty at all, why was he not sentenced to death?"

LAFAYETTE Courier: Col. John C. "New's recent interview, although he himself admits that he deliberately dictated it, was not fully comprehended until General Michener, at the Washington end of the wire, considerately explained what the colonel wanted to say. Now^ft is as clear as mud.

THE St. Louis Olobe-Democrat which has been and is an inveterate hater of General Harrison condescends to make this •statement: "Harrison may not, and probably will not, get the nomination, but he will be expected to make a few speeches for the candidate, and doubtless he will do it. Harrison is one of the most graceful and effective five or ten minute talkers in the country."

THE Goshen News says that Gov. Matthews will act as a judge in the cattle department of the Kendallville fair next week. This thing of taking the bull by the horns is not a new task for the Governor, but his political sagacity in this instance must be doubted. If he doesn't give every animal a first prize ribbon the effect will be apparent at the polls when he heads the presidential ticket.

LAFAYETTE Call: When a Governor with a backbone starts in to suppress a fighter with a jaw-bone, our sympathies are with the Governor, every time. It is a cause for congratulation to the State of Texas that she has a Governor and a Legislature who are possessed of the courage of their convictions. Texas stands several notches higher in the scale of public estimation to-day than she ever did before.

BLOODHOUNDS may have been an eminent success in pursuit of southern negroes before the war but they fail to establish the same reputation today in the pursuit of northerns criminals. Whether this is due to the difference in the game or the degeneracy of the breed of dogs we are not able to say. Your blood hound of to-day invariably fails to land his game, although he never fails to "strike the trail." There is a growing presumption that most of the trails struck are rabbits.

THE discovery of petroleum at Los Angeles has proved to be important, and there is talk of running a pipe line to the nearest seaport in order to load tank steamers with the oil for distribution along the coast. San Francisco has always Deen at a disadvantage in manufacturing on account of the cost of coal, but with a supply of cheap petroleum and electric power working toward it from the foothills of the mountains on the east the city in future will have no difficulty in competing with other cities as far as the fuel item is concerned.

THE organ of the hardware trade, Hardware, has solicited the opinions of the leading bicycle manufacturers of the country as to the number of bicycles manufactured in America during 1895, and the probable output for 1896. The responses, which are from the leading manufacturers of the country, place the output for 1895 anywhere from 400,000 to 750,000 and that of 1896 from 600,000 to 1,000,000. A fair average of these opionions would bring the prophecy for 1896 to near 750,000 wheels. The general opinion is that prices will remain about the same as 1895. The fear is expressed by some manufactures that the business will be overdone, more especially in the cheaper grades, although production will be restricted somewhat by the inability to obtain material. No fear is expresssed in ai.y quarter of there beingany falling off in the demand because vof a waning interest of the public.

THE HINSHAW CASE.

The verdict of the jury in the Hinshaw cases seems to be the sole topic of conversation among the people throughout the State. To say the least it was a most remarkable verdict, and is certainly a new departure ia criminal practice. The verdict has not settled the question in the minds of the people, and to the discussion rife before the trial the new question is added: "Was the jury influenced by popular opinion, and was its verdict in accordance with the instructions of the court?" Never in the history of the State, except possibly it was the Pettit case, has a crime elicited so much interest or the circumstances brought out in evidence been so closely studied. The Indianapolis News declares that in its opinion the evidence does not bear out the verdict. It is argued that the lack of motive in this case should have a controlling cffect. The instruction of Judge Hadley at Danville upon this point, was as follows:

While in cases where the fact is clearly established that one accused of murder, actually killed the person, with whose murder he is charged, it is not imperative that any motive for the crime should be established, yet in any case, evidence establishing or tending to establish motive upon the part of the accused to commit the crime with which he is charged, is proper and should be fairly considered by the jury. And inxa case where there is no direct evidence that the accused actually did the killing, but it is purely circumstantial in its character, the question of the absence of motive becomes of greater importance and may have even controlling effect.

It is conceded by those who vehemently declare Hinshaw guilty that the State was unable to prove Hinshaw's motive for the crime. The defenders of the convicted pastor also assert that the proof of previous good character was not duly weighed, and here again they cite the instruptions of Judge Hadley:

If the evidence discloses that the accused was a man of an unblemished reputation as a peaceable and quiet citizen prior to the time of the commission of the alleged crime, such fact stands as a factor in the case tending to fortify and establish innocence and where the evidence is wholly circumstantial and the testimony for and against him is nearly balanced, such fact of good character may be sufficient to create a reasonable doubt of his guilt, although no such doubt would have existed but for such good character.

Those who believe in his innocence assert that notwithstanding the conflicting stories told by Hinshaw himself there remained a reasonable doubt of his guilt that the entire lack of motive and the undisputed fact of good character were in themselves sufficient to create this doubt, in view of the entirely circumstantial evidence upon which the case rested. It is nowcharged that the jury observed the popular feeling against Hinshaw -and their verdict was influenced. In proof of this, the remark of one of the jurors is cited. A reporter said: "Your verdict expresses the sentiment of twothirds of the community." "We thought so," replied the juryman. In this case it seems that the jury assumed that Hinshaw was guilty and its verdict would seem to be an announcement that he failed to prove himself innocent.

THE South Carolina constitutional' convention has adopted an article making it unlawful for a white person to marry a negro or mulatto who shall have any negro blood. But this same convention refused to adopt an amendment which declared "that any white person who lives in or cohabit with a negro or mulatto, or person who shall have one-eighth or more of negro blood shall be disqualified from holding any office of emolument or trust in this State, and the offspring from any such living or cohabitation shall bear the name of the father and shall be entitled to inherit the same as if the father were legitimate."

ST. Louis Globe-Denujcrat: The story of the old soldier who fell dead at Pittsburg the other day when he received a pension of $8 per month after having waited for it for many years, has a touch of real pathos in it. There are probably some men drawing pensions who ought not to have them, but there are many others who fully deserve them and yet do not get them, because of the dilatory and unfriendly policy of the Pension Office under Democratic rules.

IT is proposed to introduce into the public schools of Canada regular inspection of the teeth of all pupils by experts appointed for the pwpose. The plan is a good one and worthy to be followed elsewhere. Good teeth are as important to the scholar, not only during his pupilage, but in his after life, as a -rod education, and only early attention and care, not always given by parents nor always possible to them, can assure their preservation.

THIS resolute action of the Executive of Texas and of the legislative department of its government will be the end of prize-fighting in the United States. It should have gone long ago. Exhibitions of this kind are a disgrace to our civilization.

THE man is narrow minded and foolish who asks industrial Protection only for his own products.

THE Washington Post, an independent Democratic journal, which is edited by ex-Congressman Beriah Wilkins, formerly of Ohio, and who is taking a part in the Buckeye State campaign in behalf of one of the authors of the iniquitous tariff law, Senator Brice by name, denounces the operation of the present tariff law in unmeasured terms, saying among other things: "No one can deny that it ha? put us in the position of buying more than we can sell and of turning the balance of trade against us to the constant and increasing peril of our gold reserve. Already we have had to buy S112,U00,000 of gold to keep this reserve intact and avert disastrous panic and paralysis in private business. It is a fact, not a theory, which confronts us. We have had a year of low tariff, and here is the account of its practical operation. Low tariff may be an approach to the academic dream of perfection, which is free trade, but we «know now that it is not good for the Treasury. We have yet to learn that there can be any substantial prosperity among the people when the bank account of their Government is unsatisfactory and insecure."

THE Louisville Times, Democratic comtemporary, of the Courier-Journal, thus notes Henry Watterson's retirement from politics: Mr. Watterson has announced that he is out of politics, but in the capacity of a private and patriotic citizen he has registered with a big and given assurance that he will put in an appearance at his precinct polls on November 5 and deposit a ballot bearing the regulation cross-mark right under the gaffed legs of the Democratic game cock. In the meantime, he will be out, as becometh a provident ex-rebel up against the gig-saw of an imminent deadly winter, on a little foraging expedition in the territory of the enemy, laying in goodly stores of money by means of a dissertation on morality of people in general and the inspiration of Abraham Lincoln in particular. Wherefore let us Democratic boys in the trenches refrain from casting clods at the phenomenal King Bee so long as he improves each shining hour in gathering sweets from every flower, but rather lay for him until he shall return, a soft snap loaded with sweets, to hive.

PUESIDEXT CLEVELAND recently said that "under no circumstances" would be ever pardon any one convicted of a pension fraud: yet he has assured the mother of Clyde Maddox, an Oklahoma "bad man,'' convicted of murdering a negro, that he will pardon the criminal Pension frauds are therefore worse than murder, according to Mr. Cleveland's scale of morality.

THE Republican campaign in Maryland is one of the most aggressive and enthusiastic that has ever been known there, and the probability of a decisive Democratic defeat grows stronger every day.

The Historic Koute.

The Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway, the model railroad of the South in equipment, roadway and service, is also the greatest in historical interest, more that, fifty famous battlefields and five national cemeteries being located on the various lines of this system. This is the preferred route to Atlanta for the Cotton States and International Exposition, open from September 18 to December 31, 1895, for which very low excursion rates have been made. Through sleeping car service from St. Louis to Atlanta, via Evansville, Nashville and Chattanooga. This is the route of the famous "Dixie Flyer" through sleeping car line which runs the year round between Nashville and Jacksonville, Fla. For further information address Briard F.

"There Is Danger in Delay.

Since 1861 I have been a great sufferer from catarrh. I tried Ely's Cream Balm and to all appearances am cured. Terrible headaches from which I had long suffered are gone.—W. J. Hitchcock, late Major U. S. Vol. and A. A. Gen., Buffalo, N. Y.

Ely's Cream Balm has completely cured me of catarrh when everything else failed. Many acquaintances have used it with excellent results.—Alfred W. Stevens, Caldwell, O. i'rice of Cream Balm is fifty cents.

Said Nature to Physic "what pity that we. Who ought to bo friends should so seldom agree. My strength is exhausted, my energy dead. From the volley of blue pills discharged at my head."

It is not strange that Nature should remonstrate against the use of those griping and drastic blue marbles, with which old fogies of medicine persist in dosing their patients. They are not only revolting in appearance.but often actually injurious in their effects. Yet Nature needs some help in overcoming obstinate dyspepsia, constipation and liver troubles, and fortunately she has a very valuable assistant in Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which, small as bird seed and sugar coated: never fail to act effectively though soothingly.

Dr. Greene's Nervura Gives Strength uuu Vr^or.

How many thousands to-day suffer from sleeplessness caused by nervous weakness. It is one of the incidents of American life, and you who read these lines are no doubt one of the gre throng. After the day is done and its cares ought to cease, you w'«sh that they might fold their tentb like the Arabs and as silently steal away. When night has drawn her sable curtuins and all nature seems in repose, your weary eyelids long for that tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep. What would you not give for the rest you had in the olden times. But it is denied you. The long hours are full of weakness and weariness, and the coming day brings only headache and heartache, impaired strength and e.xhaused nerves as you drag through its duties.

There is no burden so painful, and no loss so wasting. It wrecks the body and impairs the mind. It is the fearful harbinger of insanity. It has filled our asylums with its victims. You know-this and gloomily dread the future. Weak, nervous, and discouraged, the. least excitement prostrates you, and you are always worrying over anticipated trouble. Nothing goes right, and you often feel like despairing. You do not feel equal to the burden you once bore so easily.

Take heed while it is time. You are in a whirlwind of destruction You are in the very Niagara of our ne-vous modern life. Do not delay. Safety is right at hand, if you will but accept it. That loss of appetite, gas in the stomach, torpid liver, constipation, headache, etc., are but the first symptoms of the danger to come. It can be avoided, but only by acting at once.

Thousands! have stood where you now stand confronted by the same frightful consequences, and have been cured and restored to health and happiness by that wonderful enchanter of sleep, that marvelous restorer of nerve energy and physical strength, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It is purely vegetable and entirely harmless.

Mrs. L. L. Gumpricht, who resides at 1!)8 Blue Hill Ave., Boston, Mass., s&vs: "After having had an attack of the grippe I was feeling very weak and completely run down. I could not eat, sleep or work. I was so weak in the limbs I could not walk or work. I was very miserable and I thought I should die. I lost all interest in everything. 1 had great distress from the little food I could eat. "After taking three bottles of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy I was entirely cured of all these complaints. I feel like a different woman."

This grand restorative for the nerves Dr. Greene's Nervura, does not contain a particle of anything injurious, and can be given to restless and sleepless infants, nervous children or the most delicate invalid, with absolute assurance of beneficial results. Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14 St., N. Y. City, the most successful physician in curing nervous and chronic diseases, discovered it, and he can be consulted free of charge, personally or by letter.

MASSACHUSETTS TOWN HEARS AND WONDERS.

Wbat a Miracle was There I Twitted Zjlmbi and a Crooked Neclc Straightened. {From the Taunton, Mass., Gazette.)

Over in the town of Wrentham, Mass.. everyone Is agog with excitement. A child who had been physically deformed for four years, and who was the object of the pity of the entire town, has had her limbs straightened out, her head again made erect by the straightening of her neck, and is running about town now with the freedom and abandon of any child.

Mary S. Fuller is the name of the little cripple. Many of our readers will remember her. She is but a child of eight years, and has spent the past four years in bed, hopelessly crippled. Rheumatio fever four years ago attacked the nerves and cords of her lower limbs and neck, so that the former were drawn all out of shape and twisted and bent backwards in a pitiable manner and the cords of the latter were so tightened on one side as to draw her head down on her shoulder. Her arms, too, were helpless, and neighbor's hearts bled at the little one's suffering. The progress of the disease reduced her to a skeleton, and the poor mother has almost given her own life for that of the child, in her untiring watching at the little one's bedside. Four years of watching 1 four years of waiting! and at last the child began to mend, her cords relaxed, her nervous system gathered strength and power, and to-day, as stated above, she's running about the town a vigorous and happy child. Wrentham rejoices, physicians applaud, and new methods in nerve treatments have been successfully vindicated. Formerly the surgeon would havebeen called on in this case to straighten the limbs. Now the idea is to work in harmony with nature so far as possible, and to this end remedies are employed which assist nature, supplying to the weakened parts the chemical properties thev need. For instance, i? above case, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People were used, and effected the cure easily and naturally.

The mother of the child said: "She had been given up by four doctors, who were certain that they could not cure her. Whv, she couldn't open her mouth, and I actuallv had to force the food into it. Her mouth was all sores, and, oh dear, what a looking child she was, and such a carej ifobody but myself knows what a trial we both havebeen through for she was too young to realize it. If my statement will do anybody any good I shall be glad to have it published, and if those who read it will only come to me if thev are skeptical, I can convince them in very 'little time that I know what I am talking about. People around here say it was a miracle, and I believe it was."

Dr. •Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for 60c. per bo*, or six boxes for $2.50.
