FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 32, 1895.

DEMOCRATS in the Westare getting together—into two hostile camps.

THE official plurality for the Republican ticket in Ohio is 95,348. It is not as deep as a well nor as wide as a barn door, but it will do.

THE total railway mileage in this country at the close of 1894,115 reported a) 178,708. This is an increase of only 2,247 miles during the year.

CONGRESSMAN LIVINGSTON, of Atlanta, has said: "Georgia will go Republican also if this Administration lasts two years longer." And Congressman Livingston is not talking through his hat, either.

A DEMOCRAT may chance to be elected Senator in Kentucky, but Blackburn will not be the man. He is serving his last term. His successor will be either a Republican or a sound money Democrat.

THE question as to the next Democratic nomination for the Presidency is not one of choosing between several anxious aspirants, but one of finding some reputable person who can be coaxed to accept it.

A WORK BOUSE has been established on the county farm of Vermillion county by the board of commissioners, to which all jail birds will be sent to 6erve their sentences. Every county should have a work house.

LAST year the Republicans of New York State reached Harlem bridge with a majority of 137,000. This year they increased it to 143,000. American farmers are even more Republican now than they were in 1894.

DURING the first two years of General Harrison's administration the public debt was reduced 8200,000,000. During the first two years of Grover Cleveland's administration the public debt was increased 8164,000,000, a difference of 8364,000,000.

THE sympathy of the people of Indiana will go out to Governor Matthews in the lose by death of his only son, which occurred at Atlanta, Ga., last night at 8:30 o'clock. The young man had gone there a few weeks ago to attend the Exposition and soon after bis arrival was stricken with typhoid fever.

THE negroes of Georgia in 1880 returned 85,764,293 worth of property for taxation. This year the amount returned is 812, 941,230. The solution of the negro problem in the South is in the education of the blacks and in their accumulation of property, These two civilizing influences go hand in hand. The negroes of the South are rapidly acquiring both.

THE report of the commissioner of internal revenue will show that the total consumption of beer in the United States for the last fiscal jTear, ended June 30, was 33,469,601 barrels, which was an increase of 191,000 barrels over the consumption of 1894, but a decrease of 353,211 barrels from the consumption of 1893. Therefore it would appear that hard times have something to do with beer drinking.

IT is now stated on apparent good authority that President Cleveland proposes to dismount his high horse on Hawaiian matters and favor the annexation of the Islands to the United States. The form of government to be established in Hawaii will be that of a territory of the United States. President Cleveland must do something to redeem himself and his administration and the annexation of Hawaii will go far toward prevanting it going out in absolute disgrace.

BRADLEY'S plurality for Governor of Kentucky is fixed at '8,474 votes upon the official count. This is a State that has been reliably Democratic for the last forty years all the way from 25,000 to 60,000 is encouraging to say the least. The Democratic majorities in Kentucky have been growing smaller by degrees and beautifully less each year, until at last they have been wiped out. The same proportionate increase in the Republican vote and the diminution in the Democratic vote next year will give the State to the Republican candidule for Presi dent by 20,000.

THE statistics of our foreign trade for nine months of this year are very interesting. Comparing them with the figures of 1894, we have the following:

Exports of Domestic Products.

To September 30. 180 4 $562,288,207 180 5 546, '.27,889

Aincrlciin loss In 1895 815,860..'JGS Imports of Foreign Products September 30 Valiw 1895 $600,983,122 1804 503,500.047

Foreign gain In 1895 $97,483,045 Adding the American loss to the foreign gain, we find that this year's trade for nine months only, has cost us 8113,253,448 more than it did up to September, 30, 1884. The gold balance to be credited to us on account of purchases of American products is 815,860,368 less than in 1894. The gold balance charged against us for purchases of foreign goods is 887,393,080 more than a year ago. The total balance against us is. as aforesaid, 8113,253,448 more than a year ago. When will anew loan be necessary?

THE Argus News has declared itself in favor of the nomination of Grover Cleveland for a third term. The President stands a better show today for renomination than any other Democrat who has been mentioned. There are two factions in the Democratic party, but they will get together on this question. One faction is composed of the Cleveland worshipers, among which may be classed the Argus News. This faction believes in Cleveland as theMohammedon believes in Mohammed. The other faction look upon him as the incarnation of all that is evil, but at the same time the men composing the entire anti-Cleve-land forces believe that no Democrat can^be elected in 1896, and hence they are willing that he should be the sacrifice. In other words they will assent to his nomination. The combination of these forces, with entiiely different objects in view, places Mr. Cleveland along ways in the lead for a third term nomination.

TIIE concensus of opinion among Republican Congressmen so far as they have expressed themselves is that Congress will enact such tariff legislation as is necessary to give revenue to meet the expenses of the government,which is utterly out of the question with the existing tariff law. Whatever tariff legislation there may be will be in line with the Republican policy. The general revision of the tariff will be postponed until the Republicans have the President and both houses of Congress. If President Cleveland vetoes the legislation necessary to produce revenue to defray current expenses which will compel him to resort to another bond issue, tipon him will rest the responsibility. If he does this the recent election will be a whirlwind compared with the cyclone that will overtake and swallow up the Democracy in 1896. The elections of 1893, 1894 and 1895 have in effect given warning to the destructive Democracy what is in store for it.

THE city electric light committee expected a demand for about 2,500 incandescent lights. There have been 4,000 already connected up and applications for 500 more on file. The plant is exceeding the expectations of its most sanguine friends and will prove one of the finest investments every made by any city. Too much praise cannot be given the councilmen who secured for the city this institution whereby the annual expenditure of 810,000 for street lights is cut off and one-half more lights are furnished.—Logansport Journal.

The mistake that the Crawfordsvllle city council made was ia not providing for the demand for incandescent lighting. Provision was made for 2,500 and as many more could be connected to-day if the city was prepared to furnish the service.

WHEN the Democrats in Congress repealed the laws governing elections, popularly known as the "force bills," they builded better than they knew. They opened the way for the Republicans to gain a foothold in the Southern States. So long as these laws remained they were more potent than a rabbit's foot as a hoky bo, and all they had to do to carry the elections in every southern State was to raise the "force bill" cry. In repealing these laws the Democrats lost their hoky bo and the consequence is that several Southern States will likely place themselves permanently in the Republican column.

THE tie in the Kentucky Legislature has been broken by the discovery that one Democrat who was elected to the house is ineligible. At the time he was elected he was holding the office of councilman in Lexington. His Republican opponent will be seated without further contest. This gives the Republicans a majority of one on joint ballot and they will elect a United States Senator.

IN response to the demand of a lot of Democratic editors that it is time for all Democrats in Kentucky to "get together," the Louisville Times says, "as if we were not already together in the boiling pot of Republican burgoo." The Times thinks "the real, burning question is not how we can all get into harmony, but how we can get out of hades, and leave the mugwumps."

TENNESSEE has planned, end is now constructing, an industrial exposition of interstate and international scope to celebrate the one hundredth anni versary of her admission into the Union, to open at Nashville, the capital of the State, September 1, 1896, and to continue one hundred days. The plans call for twenty main buildings to be grouped around a lake, a military plaza, and a reproduction of the Parthenon at Athens, standing snow white and alone in the middle upon a high terrace. In the main exposition buildings Tennessee will present in classified form under appropriate departments the evidence of her resourceful mines, her fertile fields and her numerous manufactures. She invites every other State and foreign land to come aDd place its exhibits side by side with hers, and in the spirit of true Southern hospitality she will make no charge for the space occupied. The management to which has been entrusted the details of the fair desire only that the most unique and the most complete exposition possible may result from their labors.

SENATOR SHERMAN is a thorough believer in the McKinley law. In his book he speaks of it as follows: "While the McKinley law largely reduced the taxes and the duties under pre-existing laws, yet it furnished ample revenue to support the Government. The object of the act was declared to be to reduce the revenue. It was impartial to all sections and to all industries. The South was well cared for in it, and every reasonable degree of protection was given to that section. In growing industries in the North, which it is desirable to encourage, an increase of duty was given. In nearly all the older industries the rates were reduced, and the result was a reduction of revenue to the extent of §30,000,000. There was no discrimination made in the McKinley act between agriculture and mechanical industries. The Wilson bill sacrificed the interests of every farmer in the United States, except, probably, the growers of rice and of fruit in the South."

He closes the paragraph with these strong words: "The McKinley act. I believe, was the most carefully framed, especially in its operative clauses and its classification of duties, of any tariff ever' passed by the Congress of the United States."

FROM hints thrown out by the leaders of both political parties at Washington, strong probabilities seem to exist that a joint resolution will be offered upon the assembling of Congress providing for the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States under a territorial form of government. The case of Texas is referred to as furnishing a precedent for Hawaii. Joint resolutions providing for the annexation of Texas passed the House of Representatives on January 25, 1845, by a vote of 120 to 98. In the Senate the vote was 27 to 35. On the first of the following March the resolutions were approved by President Tyler. Dr. Anson Jones, who was the President of the Texas Republic, called

a

convention of sixty-one

delegates, who met on July 4 of that year, to consider the proposition for annexation. The (convention ratified the act and prepared a constitution for the Republic as

a

State of the Federal

Union, which was submitted to the Texas people and approved by them. On December 29 a joint resolution of Congress declared Texas admitted into the Union as

a

State.

CHICAGO has -under consideration a proposition from the National Republican Committee that if it will raise 854,000 to liquidate the committee's indebtedness and enough beside to pay the running- expenses of the meeting it can have the next national convention. The moneyed men of that city have taken steps to comply with the proposition, and it may safely be set down that the money will be forthcoming. Chicago never failed to do anything she started in to do except to nominate Gresham for President whom the balance of the country did not want. Her newspapers promise to be good this time and boom nobody.

BORROWING money is an expensive luxury. If the bonds already issued by this Administration run to maturity before payment, the Government will be compelled to pay not only the principal of $102,315,400, but interest amounting to 8124,778,480, making a total of 8287,003,880, The bond transactions since February 1, 1894, have saddled on the taxpayers of the country on account of 'interest alone an additional burden amounting to ($7,592,606 a year, or nearly $29,000 a day, Sundays included.

DR. SAMUEL F. SMITH, the venerable author of "America," the national anthem, died suddenly at a railway station in Boston last Saturday afternoon. At the time of his death he was 87 years old. His name has been made immortal by the fact that he was the author of one of the great national anthems of the world, and will live as long as this hymn is sung.

ADLAI STEVENSON, the Vice President, says: "I will not be a candidate for President in 1896." He furthermore adds: "President Cleveland will be accorded the nomination if he wants it." As Cleveland wants it and no other Democrat does want it, he will be very apt to be the nominee.

Sheriff E. \V. Howe, of North field, Vt., advises you in all such cases to use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. He t«lls the great good this remarkable medicine did him, and to show the high esteem in which he is held by his towns-people and that you can trust implicitly in every word he says, it is only necessary to say that Sheriff Howe has been Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff of Northfield for 23 years is Town Trustee, Street Commissioner of Northfield, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, Town Grand Juror, and -School oCommittee, besides being a prominent business man, well-known throughout the State of Vermont. The word of a man so highly trusted and honored should be taken and his advice) followed by all. "I was sick five months which left me with asthma and rheumatism. The asthma would take me most any time, especially nights, when I was obliged to get up and open doorsoand windows to breathe. It took me once on my

How the free trade press ridiculed the idea of producing tin plate in this country two or three years ago! They said the tin-plate liar was the biggest kind of a liar. But the McKinley act nevertheless created the industry, and to-day nobody disputes its enormous growth. In the four fiscal years since the act went into effect the production of tin plate has increased from nothing to 13,650,719 pounds in 1892, and to 193,801,073 in 1895. Says the Bulletin of the American Iron and Steel Association: "This pyramid of tin-plate production in four years forms as complete a justification of the protective policy as has ever been printed. In less than four years more—perhaps in less than two years—we will be able, with favorable legislatien, to supply all our own wants for tin plates, including exports, thus saving an annual payment of about $20,000,000 to foreign manufacturers."

THE recent massacres in Armenia which the Turkish officials have been unable or unwilling to prevent have naturally attracted the attention of the civilized world. These massacres have been continuous, and reports of fresh ones come over the cable day by day. The Turkish government itself is in a most demoralized condition.

home so bad that I was obliged

to have help to get home. I suffered greatly with this trouble. My rheumatism at this time was very bad, being so that for six weeks I did not leave the room and for five months I did not do a day's work. "f saw I)r. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy advertised and the cures effected by its use, and thought it might hit my case, and it did. The asthma is greatly improved, in fact, it is nearly cured, and the rheumatism is greatly helped. I think very highly of this remedy for it is good. I would recommend Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy for asthma or rheumattsm, for it is a good medicine. 1 deem it simple justice to a great remedy to write this letter. I never expected to do any more work again when I was sick, but the Nervura did me a great deal of good and I am now able to work again."

It is not a patent medicine, but the prescription of the most successful living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35 west 14th street, New York City. He has the lergestjpractice in the world and this great medical discovery is the result of his vast experience. The great reputation of Dr. Greene is a guarantee that his medicine will cure and the fact that he 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.

The Sultan and his present advisers seem to have the confidence of nobody, and are seemingly threatened by an internal revolution. What the outcome will be no one can predict, but it looks now like a general war throughout Europe. All the indications point to an end of Turkish rule on the continent, and the Powers will go to war over a division of the spoils.
