FRIDAY. JANUARY 24, 1895.

THE National Democratic convention will be held in Chicago, on July 7, and go through the form of nominating a Presidential ticket.

THE remedy is to undo the thiDgthat created the difficulty. Repeal the Gorman law and substitute for it the McKinley law.

SENATOR FRYE says the only prominent champions of free trade to-day in the world are England and the Democratic party. Amazing co-partnership!

CHEMICAL fire engines are in high favor in Philadelphia as well as in Boston. There were 2,033 fires in Philadelphia last year, of which 506, or 25 per cent., were extinguished by chemical engines.

ST. Louis Globe Democrat: Sherman's reputation will not suffer from the attacks which Morgan and men like him make on it. The Ohio statesman has made some mistakes on the finance question, but the worst policy which he ever stood sponsor for was better than the best that Morgan ever favored.

WHEN the Republican Auditor of State of Kentucky entered upon his duties on January 6 he found just $169.78, with which to pay accrued obligations and run the State government until July 1, 1806. The accrued liabilities will amount to 81,250,000, and an .additional shortage is apparently inevitable. No wonder Kentucky went Republican.

IF silence is gold, ex-President Harrison carries enough around with him to take up the new bond issue.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

General Harrison's silence is worthy of emulation by other statesmen. Since his retirement from the Presidency he has conducted himself in such away that even his enemies cannot criticise. General Harrison is too great a man to be garrulous.

THE Indianapolis

Sentinel

jumps

onto E. H. Nebeker, who is a candidate for the Chairmanship of the Republican State Committee, and donates a column of its valuable space in personal abuse. The

Sentinel's

Smtinel

hostility

to Mr. Nebeker is the best of evidence that he is a thorough good Republican. If the

had a good word for

Mr. Nebeker it would be regarded as suspiciously, as a gift-bearing Greek.

THE sub-committee of the Ways and Means Committee intends to devote some time to an investigation into the effects of the reciprocitv provisions of the McKinley law upon the foreign trade relations of the United States. It is a well settled fact that those provisions helped very materially to promote the foreign commerce of the country. There can be no doubt that the results of the investigation will aid in the restoration of the policy of reciprocity.

NEW YOUK AdvcrtLner: To-day the solid South no longer exists. It has been shattered, not by outside impact nor by the operation of Federal election laws, but by the rising forces of intelligence, progress, and patriotism within its own borders. The younger generation of voters in the border Stites have become tired of the ignorance, stagnation, and mendacity of Democracy, and have given their allegiance to the grand old party of Lincoln and Blaine and Garfield. The result is full of hope and encuragement for the country at large, but most of all for the South itself.

A WARNING comes to Crawfordsville from Wilkesbarre^ Pennsylvania. In that town there are 250 cases of typhoid fever, all traceable to impure water and little or no sewerage. Pure water and good sewerage is one of the grave questions of the present and fu ture. As towns increase in population the impurities necessarily crease. This city is honey-combed with dry wells which are used as cess pools. Unless something is done to change the system of disposing of house garbage, an epidemic will come as a fire alarm in the night and wake the people up to a realizing sense of their great danger. What this city needs above every other improvement is a good system of sanitary sewerage. Upon this the people are more generally united than upon any other question.

THE CAMPAIGN OF 180G. The issues for 1896 are not yet made up, and it is not easy to foresee just what they will be but it is quite easy to foresee what they will not

be. Mr.

Cleveland -has once led the party to utter overthrow by his nariow-minded opposition to the whole doctrine of protection. Neither Mr. Cleveland nor any other man, nor any number of men, will ever again be able to lead the'Democratic party into an open warfare against protection. The truth is, and all politicians are beginning to see it, that the American peo pie are opposed—sternly opposed—to the British doctrine of free trade, and no National Convention of any party, could have the least hope of success if it should announce itself in favor of "a tariff for revenue only." The people want protection as the paramount policy of the government, and they are going to have it. The Democratic leaders now know that to construct a platform embodying the principles of the Wilson-Gorman tariff would be to throw away every vestige of a chance to arry the election. As we have sfaid, nobody knows what position will be taken, but it is certain that Mr. Cleveland and his free trade principles will be discarded. It is very doubtful if any resolution indorsing Mr. Cleveland's administration, even in the mildest form, can be worked through the convention. While the goldbug Democrats of the East stand by Mr. Cleveland in his battle for a gold standard of value, they are opposed to his free trade notions. The South, where the controling force of the Democratic party is located, is bitterly opposed to Mr. Cleveland's gold standard notions, and there is, in that quarter, a growing opposition to his tariff views. So, upon the whole, it is certain that no Democratic convention, honestly selected, can be made to indorse either the gold standard or unqualified opposition to protection. To say the least, the iDemocratic party is hopelessly divided on both these subjects.

The Republican party is far from being in such an unfortunate condition. There is some diversity of sentiment among its members on the silver question, but it will be found there is little opposition to the last declaration of the Republican National platform on this subject. Mr. Foraker, in his speech at Columbus on the occasion of his election to the United States Senate the other day, very clearly stated his position on the silver question, and it will be found to be the position of nearly all^Republicans—that is real bimetallism, with a real parity between the gold and silver dollar, so that there will be no disparity in their values. There are many Republicans in favor of the 1 to 16 ratio, but they are for this because they believe that the re-*taonetization ot silver would restore the old ratio of 1 to 16, and not because they want dollars of different values. If once convinced that silver and gold would not circulate together on the old ratio, they would no longer insist on it. So Republicans are all really in favor of the same thing. There is only a question among them as how to establish the gold and silver standard. They are all agreed, as Senator Foraker says, that the demonetization of silver, in 1873, was a great mistake, and the only ['question is how to rectify it.

As to the tariff, Republicans aire all of one mind. They all believe in a high tariff, both for revenue and protection. They believe in a tariff high enough to keep the treasury full and to keep all our mills and factories running and paying good wages to their operatives and a fair profit to their owners. There will be no troublej no miltiny, in the Republican camp, while the prospect now is that the Democrats will be knifing each other over both the tariff and the financial questions. Besides, the Democrats have no prominent man upon whom they can unite with any harmony at all. On the other hand, there are almost half a dozen Republicans, any one of whom would be satisfactory to the entire party. The conditions at present all favor a sweeping Republican victory in 1896.

THE Pension Appropriation bill pissed the House on Friday after a five day8' debate. It was announced by Mr. Stone, of Pennsylvania, that in this matter the present House is fifty days ahead of the last two Congresses, which were under Democratic control The fact speaks well for the Republican majority, and shows that they have a correct appreciation of the de sire of the country to have legislation advanced with as great rapidity as is consistent with due deliberation. A gain of fifty days over Democratic Congress on the important subject of pensions is certainly of more than ordinary significance.

IT is seldom that the Senate of tbe United States,can do the right thing with promptness, but in the passage of a joint resolution appropriating 875,000 for the expense of the commission engaged in fixing the boundary between Alaska and British America along the line of the 141st meridian, proved an exception to the rule. Peo' pie have ceased to look to the Senate with any degree of confidence for prompt and helpful legislation.

ONE PATRIOTIC DEMOCRAT. The debate in the House for the last two or three days on the Pension Appropriation bill has been interesting and spicy. The Commissioner of Pen sions has been hauled over the coals in a most unmerciful manner. The Commissioner has had no member to defend him except Representative Bartlett, of New York. The discussion arose over an amendment to the bill which forbids the dropping or decrease of any pension except on proof of fraud on the part of «the pensioner, established in any court of the United States. lion. Amos Cuminiugs, another Democrat of New York, created a sensation when in the name of the Democracy of the Empire Stato he repudiated the speech of his colleague, Mr. Bartlett. Among other things Air. Cummings said:

It is time that something radical should be done with the Pension OHiee. There is not a soldier's widow, there is not a veteran soldier to-day drawing a pension who is not standiug daily aud hourly under the apprehension that something cowardly may strike him from the pension rolls. After years of patient waiting, after examining board upon examining board has sat upon his case and he has received his pension, suddenly, without warning, it is withdrawn from hiui, no charge is made against him, und no opportunity offered him to repel any charge if made, and as the resolution of the gentleman from Illinois strikes at the root of the trouble, I will take that if I cannot get anything else to ascertain why it is that the Union veterans are stabbed in the back from the very quarter in which they should receive encomiums, encouragement and justice. Repeatedly instances have come to my attention where boards of examiners have steadily declared that the soldier was entitled to a pension, and yet it has been rejected in the office here in Washington. Now, sir, the speech 1 heard from my colleague (Mr. Bartlett) on this floor yesterday is not calculated to remove the apprehensions from the minds of the soldiers and their widows. Cold sophistry may be good, but you had better apply it to the Pacific railroads than to the pensioners. (Loud applause.) I repudiate that speech on behalf of the constituents which I represent, Republicans as well as Democrats. I repudiate the speech on behalf of the veterans of New York. I repudiate the speech on behalf of the Grand Army posts and the widows who are drawing pensions in the city of New York. Now, Mr. Chairman, I speak on behalf of every veteran on behalf of every widow on behalf of every orphan who draws a pension in the United States. They are all included in this work at the 'Pension Office here. One fraud ought not to punish forty innocent people, and I believe that the ratio would reach one to a thousand. I believe for every fraudulent pensioner who has been stricken from the list or suspended, at least a thousand who were receiving only their just dues from the Government have been punished. I shall vote for the proposition of the gentleman from Illinois with pleasure, and if it fails it will have one good effect. It will call the attention of the Commissioner of Pensions to the fact that the people of the country are watching him, and that in process of time we shall have a tribunal either there or somewhere else that will do justice to tbe men who fought in the Union armies in the great rebellion.

THE CUBAN SITUATION It is plainly evident that the mass of news printed each day concerning the Cuban situation is very unreliable. Enough can be sifted, however, to show that the insurgents have the best of the situation. Even although the Spaniards have complete control of all the points from which intelligence must cross the seas, they are not able to maintain the strain of professed exultation over achieved and expected victories, which tLey generally affect. The Spaniards, in fact, are in possession only of the seaport towns, and even in them the native sentiment is on the side of the insurgents. The Spanish troops suffer even more from disease than from the guns of the enemy. The strength of the insurrection is limited by the want of arms and ammunition, yet both are landed continually for the insurgents, in spite of the watch kept along the coast. The further fact that Campos, the Spanish Captain General, has been superseded is satifactory proof that the home goveanment is discouraged. It is believed that it is only a question of time until Spain must give up the contest and acknowledge the independence of the island. The Cubans seem to be as determined as the colonists of the United States in fighting for their freedom from the yoke of tyranny.

SENATOR JONES, the Nevada Populist, has announced his purpose that no financial measure can pass the Senate which does not provide fov

vhe

free

coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 Mr. Jones holds the balance of power in the Finance Committee, which is composed of six Republicans, six Democrats and one Populist. With the six Democrats and the one Populist voting for free silver, of course they will consent to np legislation which does not put silver to the forefront. Such a course can be of no benefit to silver. A question of greater moment just now is the tariff. Anything that stands in the way of tariff .legislation will meet with indignant impatience from the people, whether that thing be (President Cleveland or Senator Jones.

way. His manly attitude has won many friends. General Harrison has always had the reputation of saying the right thing at the right time.

A WRITER in Harper's Weelcly states that Cripple Creek, Col., embraces an area with a radius of not more than three miles. It contails, all told, perhaps eight or ten square miles of ground. This at the outside would yield six or seven full claims. On these three would be a possibility of finding veins rich enough to bear the cost of working. There are in the districts, so far, some twelve thousand located claims, from which one may judge of the probable value of most of them. Of these twelve thousand claims of course the many are merely fractional. About thirteen hundred are patented, and have title established, but only two hundred are shipping ore. "In other words, there are ten thousand odd claims in the district that so far as developed are practically worth nothing at all."

DR. GREENE'S NERVURA.

PHYSICIANS URGENTLY ADVISE USE OF DR. GREENE'S NERYURA.

Well Known Physicians Enthusiastic in Their Statements of the .Wonderful Curative Powers of Dr. Greene's Nervura.

DR. JOB SWEET.

One of the most noted physicians and surgeons is Dr. Job Sweet, of New Bedford, Mass. He makes the public statement that he has often recommended the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy to his patients who have been suffering from nervous troubles and he has learned that in a large number of these cases it has proven efficacious.

Dr. Willard H. Morse, F. S. Sc., of Westfield, N. J., the great expert on medicines, says of this grand discovery of Dr. Greene: "The true remedy for nervous diseases is Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It acts by affecting the organs of nutrition, and entering into the formation of new nerve tissue, which generates nerve force. This means the making of new nerves."

The well known Dr. Emil Neumer, superintending physician of the N. Y. Lodge aud Association Hospital says: "We are using Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy at this hospital for our patients with good success."

A COMPANY has been organized at Lexington, Ky., with a capital stock of 830,000 to manufacture a gas machine which, it is said, will furnish gas at thirty-five cents per thousand. When natural gas plays out the company should put in one of these machines.

UNDER reciprocity the duty on flour sent to Cuba was §1 per barrel an American flour took the Cuban market. Democrats denounced reciprocity as a fraud, repealed the law the duty on American flour sent to Cuba is now 86 per barrel and Americans lost that market, and Democrats say they are the friends of the American farmer.

THE Minneapolis Journal says that Cleveland was nominated twice at Chicago and elected. As many Democrats think he is the only available man, and Chicago means good luck for

recommend it to my patients. The fact that I have used it in my own casti shows that I know what I am talking about. As a tonic and invigorant it is the best of all to build up a person."

Dr. Rober W. -Lance, of So. Woodbury, Vt., says: "I have known about Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and the good results in cases, as a tonic, after hard sickness, and the cure of nervous females. They have received great good from its use. I do not hesitate to recommend it."

Dr. C. W. Cook, of Carmel, Ind., says:

"I have used Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy for my patients and have found the remedy all that was claimed for it. The results have been entirely satisfactory, I think it is worthy and I recommend its use."

Such enthusiastic endorsement by physicians stamps this remarkable medical discovery as the' greatest restoi^r of health and strength. It certainly cures more cases of disease than any other known remedy. It makes all who take it well and strpng. It is prescription and discovery of a well known physician,. Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New York City, who can be consulted without charge, personally or by letter.

Grover, they will try and nominate him for the fourth time at the Windy City. (The year 1896, however, isn't a good year for the Democracy or for Cleveland. Three years of Democratic suzerainty and accumulated evidence of Democratic blunderings have sickened the Nation with the whole Democratic tea party.

A Sunday Evening Marriage. Sunday at 6 o'clock p. m. the Rev. S V. Leech, of the First M. E. church, united in marriage Mr. John H. Dickerson, a wealthy ana well known farmer of Boone county, and Miss Elizabeth Henry, daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Williamson, at the William, son home on east Franklin street. Only the immediate relatives and neighbors were present. The couple left for Lebanon Tuesday, where they will make their future home. Both parties have a wide acquaintance and are general favorites in their social circles. Mrs. Dickerson moved to this city from Jamestown, w:th her mother about a year ago anil has made a host of warm friends, who bid her and her husband Godspeed on their future journey through life.

WHERE did I get this dreadful cough? Na matter the great question is, how shall I get rid of it? Use THE PINEOLA BALSAM, a soothing combinatiorw of the remedies nature has put in ffie pine and other balsamic trees. It cures the inilamation and tickling in the throat and if taken in time will prevent the spread of the disease to the lungs. Ely's Pineola Balsam is strongly recommended in cases of Asthma. Twenty-five cents is the price. Tell the neighbors about it.
