FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1895.

THE party that hesitates and wavers in the matter of the enforcement of law forfeits the confidence of the people.

A -WRITER on foot ball says the game is not as rough as it seems. The same was true of the battle of Chickamauga, in which two-thirds of the men escaped without a scratch, the killed, wounded and missing numbering only about 30,000.

ONE good road in a county is the strongest possible argument in favor of other good roads. So one good cement sidewalk in a town is the strongest possible argument in favor of other cement sidewalks. The same observation will apply tocsewers.

INGERSOLL'S lecture on Shakespeare was almost free of any of his peculiar views of theology. He produced an audible smile when he stated that John Calvin died the day that Shakespeare was born and thought it a glorious exchange for the world.

E. T. LEE, who by some hook or crook has had the handle of Colonel attached to his name, is preparing to writf a book on Shiloh. He will give the cause leading up to the battle, a history of the engagement itself, including the number engaged, with the commanders, and the losses sustained.

JOHN SHERMAN in his book asserts that the defeat of Vallangham for Governor of Ohio in 1863 had an important influence in favor of the Union cause equal to any battle of the war. And so it did. Had Vallandigham been elected Governor he would have ordered the cessation of enlistments of soldiers in Ohio and probably ordered the return of those Ohio regiments at the front. The defeat of Vallandigham 'was indeed a glorious Republican victory and far reaching in its consequences.

SENATOR SHERMAN, in his book, takes decided grounds in favor of retaining the greenbacks, using the following language:

I am one of those who believe that a United States notes, issued directly by the government and convertible on demand into coin or a government bond equal in value to gold, is the best currency we can adopt that it is to be the currency of the future, not only of the United States, but in Great Britain as well, and that currency might properly continue to be a legal tender, except when coin is specifically stipulated for.

Secretary Carlisle and President Cleveland are in favor of retiring the greenbacks and issuing bonds in their stead.

THE business men of the country ever since the repeal of the reciprocity clause of the McKinley law have felt the effects of this foolish step. From the New York merchants who are engaged in the export trade come the cry for a renewal of the reciprocity treaties. Memorials will go to Washington from the chamber of commerce, board of trade, and transportation, produce exchange, cotton exchange, dry goods association ard other commercial guilds asking Congress to pass a resolution directing the President to renew these treaties. Manufacturers all over the country who felt the beneficent results of results of reciprocity, and who appreciate the need of an enlarged foreign market, will also join the* demand. ,,

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that' at the end of this month the new fiscal year will be one-third completed, and will have resulted in a deficit in the Treasury of something over 816,000,000. That is to say that the new tariff bill fails to meet the requirements of a satisfactory revenue producer at the rate of four millions a month. If this proportion should be maintained the deficit by the 1st of July, 1896, will have reached $48,000,000, which would make a total deficit for the Cleveland Administration of about $160,000,000. When it is recalled that something more than 800,000,000 of the one hundred and eighty odd millions received from the three bond issues has been applied to pay Government expenditures, it can be seen that at the ratio, by the end of the fiscal year, the Treasury would have been practically bankrupt had it not been for those bond iasueB.

THE NEW MADRID EARTHQUAKE.

Entire pages of great ne wspapersw re filled last Thursday with earthquake news, and fifty of the seventy millions of the population of the United States consumed the day in relating their personal experiences. Even in Kentucky and Ohio where political campaigns are onjin all their intensity the people stopped talk on politics long enough to say something of the seismic disturbance. It naturally set the people to talking of former disturbances of a similar nature, and the mind of the "oldest inhabitant," or the minds of his immediate heirs, at once reverted to the celebrated New Madrid earthquake, which consisted of a series of shocks, among the most extensive and destructive in the world's history. The St. Louis Olobe-Dcmocrat gives the following interesting account of that shaking up: The New Madrid series of earthquakes commenced on the night of 'December 16, 1811, and extended over half a hemisphere. In America, the center of these disturbances, both in point of violence and position, was near New Madrid, Mo., on the Mississippi river. The force of the shocks extended to the mouth of the Ohio river, sixty miles north, and south to the mouth of the St. Francois, and far into Arkansas and Tennessee. The disturbance commenced with a sudden shock which wrecked houses and forests, and rent great fissures in the earth, several hundred feet long and twenty or thirty feet wide. The surface of the earth rose and fell like a great body ot water, and men reeled and were unable to maintain their balance. The atmosphere was filled with a thick gas, which rushed from the crevices in the earth, and to this the light imparted a purple hue. The water in the Mississippi river suddenly rose several feet, and large tracts of land as suddenly sunk and were overflowed. Dry land was formed into lakes, and lakes were emptied, and became dry land. The most remarkable manifestation of these shocks still in existence is Reelfoot Lake, in Tennessee, which is twenty miles long and seven miles wide. A large extent of the country on the Missouii side of the river was sunk ten feet below its former elevation. Congress attempted to give relief by passing a law granting each proprietor who had sustained a serious loss a section of land in what was known as Boone's Lick country, on condition that he relinquished his damaged farm to the Government. These grants, which were called the New Madrid claims, conflicted with the other entries, and have been the source of endless litigation.

FOURTEEN MONTHS.

The new tariff law, the law that Grover Cleveland refused to approve, and which became an act without his signature, has been in operation fourteen months. In that entire period there have been only two months when there was not a deficit. Yet there have been many months when the Treasury has refused to pay overdue obligations in order that, for temporary political effect, there might be an apparent surplus. This was the case in the months of June and September last. June was the closing month of the fiscal year. It was deemed desirable, in order that administration officers and Democratic orators might not be so much emharassed by the failure of their predictions, and that the Democratic party might, as they thought, receive less injury. Expenses were withheld and a fictitious surplus made to appear for effect upon the campaign. The records of the Treasury themselves convict the authorities of this juggling of the figures. In the month succeeding the June "surplus" the deficit was $9,478,366, and in the month succeeding the September ''surplus" the deficit was $6,161,064. During the .fourteen months, in which the Wilson law has been in operation the deficit has been $70,236,391, or a monthly average of $5,016,885. A comparison of the operations of the first fourteen months of the new tariff with the first fourteen months of the McKinley law results greatly to the advantage of the McKinley act. The McKinley law took effect Oct. 1, 1890. The receipts from it for the first fourteen months were 3423,952,686, while in the first fourteen months of the Wilson law the receipts were only $347,100,247. The receipts under the Wilson law were $76,852,439 less than those under the McKinley law for the same period. During the first fourteen months of the McKinley law the expenditures were $395,863,717, leaving a surplus of $28,088,969, while during the first fourteen months of the Wilson law the. ^expenditures were $417,336,638, causing a deficit of $70,236,391. The average monthly surplus under the McKinley law in its first first fourteen months wae $2,006,282 per month, while the average monthly deficit in the first fourteen months of the Wilson law was $5,016,885.

CHICAGO Inter-Ocean: The sunshine and rain and fruitful fields and vines and orchards have done a full part to rescue the land from the ruin of the tinkers of the American Congress. But such a wreck will require time and patience to clear away the debris. But it will be done. The American people are not going to put up the shutters and close up business.

Here is what she says: "The fatigue attendant upon public appearances has often caused me to

OUR well meaning but erratic friend of the Argus-News announced in a double-leaded editorial last Saturday that John R. Bonnell had retired from the County Treasurer's office, and not only had retired but had been forced to retire, and had been succeeded by another Johnson from Walnut township. There is about as much truth in this statement as there is in the other portion of the paragraph, the whole of which might be called bosh. Mr. Bonnell has not retired from the Treasurer's office, and has no thought of retiring. A. W. Johnson has been employed for a few days to assist the Treasurer through the busy season of the payment of the second installment of taxes. Such deviations from the truth on the part of the Argus-News is the poorest kind of bad politics.

THE memorable earthquake at Charleston, S. C., in which ninety-six lives were lost and three-fourths of the eity was destroyed, occurred on August 31, 1886. There were seventeen distinct shocks at Charleston, which were felt throughout the United States, chiefiy in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. Subsequent vibrations were felt in the same section between September 3 and September 14, but finally ended on October 22, without further serious damage.

THERE is a growing disposition on the part of the average^voter to judge parties by their performances rather than by their professions. The performances of the Democratic party since it has been in power have not been such as to commend them to the judgment of the people. It promised the masses bread but instead it has given them a store. The Democratic party has been weighed in the balance and found wanting.

THE Chicago Inter-Ocean wants some enterprising road agent to cut the wire to Hot Springs and oblige a tired public.

BROWN county is at last to have a railroad. Th$n farewell to Democratic majorities in this benighted region.

PROOF, UPON PROOF.

THERESA VAUG HN,THE FAMOUS SINGER SAYS USE DR. GREENE'S NERVURA.

She Advises All Who Are Sick, Weak, Nervous or Ailing to Use Dr. Greene's Nervura, the Grandest of Medicines.

2HS3 THERESA VAUGHN.

There are few more beautiful women or popular singers than Miss Theresa Vaughn, whose refined and exquisite singing in the burlesque, "1892," will long be remembered in every ''community. Her address is New York City, but she is known, respected and admired from onu end of our country to the other, and her strong endorsement of the wonderful curative powers of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and her earnest advice for the tired out, the weak, the nervous, the run-down and debilitated, to use this grandest of all medicines, will be followed by everybody who needs a strengthening and invigorating remedy

She tells all to use it, because she shows it banishes ail pain, cures the aching head and dragging- bachache. restores the over taxed brain, nerves the weary limbs, strengthens the weak and shattered nerves, gives natural, refreshing sleep—in fact makes all who use it strong and well. The remedy is purely vegetable and perfectly harmless and may be given to infants, children or the weakest invalids with positive assurance of beneficial results.

suffer severely from nervousness, and I can truthfully say that I have found Dr. Greene's Nervura an infallible remedy. I was led into using it by seeing it in daily use in the families of my friends, and I can unhesitatingly recommend it, from my own experience, to all as a thoroughly reliable remedy for neuralgia and nervous diseases of all kinds."

It would certainlyr secm that after such an endorsement by a lady so popular and so widely known, no one who suffers in the least from ill health could hesitate for a moment to take her advice and seek the cure which is sure and positive by using Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy

It is not a pal ent medicine, but the prescription of the most successful specialist in curing nervousand chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New York City. He has the largest practice in the world, and this' grand medical discovery is the result of his vast experience. The great repution of Dr. Greene is a guarantee that his medicine will cure, and the fact that he can be oonsulted at any time free of charge, personally or by letter, gives absolute assurance of the beneficial action of this wonderful medicine.
