FRIDAY, JANUARY 31. 1895.

IF there was a surplus in the treasurp there would be no need of more 'bonds.'

THE translation of Ben-Hur in Arabic was the last work done ,by Dr. Van Dyck, who was the oldest American missionary in Syria.

THE bulk of American gold nas oeeri sent abroad to pay for imported goods which should have been made in American factories.

SPAIK has even acknowledged thai 'the Cubans are belligerents. Why should the United States hesitate ~when the mother country has Bet the -pace?

«, A KING of Indianapolis Democrats seems determined to run Tom Taggart for Governor. Taggart maybe a big man, intellectually, for Indianapolis, .but spread out over a whole State of the fiextent o( Indiana, the shrinkage oi gray matter would be frightful to be? -,hold. ::niy:

I THE destination tof that English" fiying/squadron.has T^een .wrapped iip.in mystery, and wiseacres have indulged fin all sorts of' jjrejiictions as to the point it would p.ull up. The supposition now is tliat it is bound for th^ •*5 -ir -l 1 1 '"United States,' the object' oeixtg to, take aboard the remnants of the Democrat^

ACCOBDING to recent statistics, 549',042 of the! farms-of the 'country 'arei "occupied by negroes/and 20,738 are owned by siich occupants. The negro ^race has not made much progress in commercial of manufacturing vocations, but its showing in agriculture is certainly creditable, anil that is prob-j ably the line in which it is most likely to succeed.

.. THE Democrats declared that under free trade we would "capture the mar-, kets of the world." Sales of wool in three principal markets of the United

States during the last week have amounted to 5,018,300 pounds, of which 2,445,000 were'domestic, arid 2.573,300 foreign wool. This shows how the foreigner is' capturing the American market under free tride.

IN spite of the protests of the administration, the first great need of the country is more revenue. The absence of that revenue is back of all the •trouble in the Treasury Department to-day. We may keep on borrowing money every month to maintain the .gold leserve, but the cure will not. come until the monthly deficit in receipts is a part of past history. ,U

AN interesting reminder that the Behring Sea question should not be lost sight of in the discussion of the .Venezuelan boundary is furnished in a paper, by' Henry1 Loomis Nelson, on ''The Passing ot the Fur-Seal," in the

February Harper's. This article is a history of the indiscriminate killing of American seals by Canadian hunters, and tho neglect of the British Government to:abide by the decision of the Paris Tribunal.

•, THE belief is growing that the bond bill will be amended in the Senate so as to provide for the free coinage of silver and pass that body in this shape,

These amendments will the cerements for its burial. The free silver Senators it is said will.be content to thus show their strength and will permit the tariff bill to pa6s substantially as it came from the House. It is estimated that the bill will add about 84 00, 000 to the revenue. On the grounds that it is a measure of relief it is stated that the President will'not interpose his vote

IN an interesting article on "The Function of the New York Clearing House," the current number of Harper's Wceldy says that the statistics of the sixty-one clearing houses in the United States show the inadequacy of money—coin and paper—to do the world's business. The total transactions of 1888 aggregated over $50,000,000,000, or more than thirty times all the money—bank-notes included—in the country at the time. The total amount of exchanges effected in'the United States in the year ending September30, 1893, was 858,880,682,455— less by 82,002,889,983 than in 1892 in 1894 it was 245,017,900,736—less by 913,865,721,719 than in 1893.

SENATOR DAVIS' RESOLUTION. The resolution \},of fcGleiiator Davis which has precipitated such an animated discussion ik the Senate, practically declares that the ^United States will not [regard with indifference the action ofHiny European power in attempting to acquire new or additional territory through force, purchase, cession, occupation, pledge, colonization, protectorate, or by control of the easement in any canal on the American continent or any island adjacent thereto. The resolution mends the defective place in Mr. Cleveland's Venezuelan message. He declared that any adjustment Venezuela and Great Britain might agree upon {between themselves the United States could not object to. That was to say, if Venezuela saw fit to transfer its entire territory to the British flag the Monroe doctrine would not be infringed upon. In that particular Mr. Cleveland abandoned the doctrine laid down by President Monroe. The adoption by Congress of the Davis resolution will correct that mistake. It is contended by those opposed to the resolution that it is unnecessary, and that its effect will likely be irritating to other nations without in any way changing or strengthening our own position. There can be no question as to whether it is right, but its adoption just now, is a question of expediency. Europe already under: stands the attitude of the American peoplei* s'

THE reciprocity clause of the McKinley law was repealed by a Democratic Congress simply because it was Republican legislation. Prior to the adoption of the policy of reciprocity our sales of flour to Cuba amounted tp abouttS6,000,000 a year. During the last year of operation of -the reciproci: ty clause they were worth 821,000,000. At present, with reciprocity:abolished they practically are worth nothing! Meanwhile we are buying as much sugar and' coffee from. Cuba as ever. Ber fore we used. the reciprocity clause as a commercial menace Cuba imposed a di^ty of $4.75 on every barrel of United States flour. When we told heir that .exorbitant duties on American farm products .would, provoke us to retaliatory duties on,her sugar and, coffee she reduced her :tariff to $l,per barreh

As soon as the reciprocity: clause was repealed Cuba, or rather Spain, reimposed the 84.75 rate -pf duty for all flour importedjto the island from the •United' States. Cuba has to import iron. Before the enactment of the reciprocity clause she imposed a duty of §24 per ton on our exports of this metal. Under reciprocity she admitted them free. Upon repeal of the reciprocity clause she restored the $24 rate. Such are some of the beauties of Democratic statesmanship!

A bill has been offered in the House making it unlawful for the sleeping car porter to receive tips. The bill provides that all sleeping and parlor cars shall come under the regulations of the interstate commerce act, and shall be operated under regulations fixed by the interstate commerce commission. Under this bill no berth or seat shall cost more than 81.50 for twelve hours. In sleeping cars the cost of an upper berth shall not be more than two-thirds the cost of a lower for the same period. In every case where an upper berth is unoccupied it shall remain up if the lower berth in the same section is to be occupied by a passenger. The bill provides that the- interstate commerce commission shall make an investigation of the cost of operating the sleeping cars on the various railways of the United States and shall fix an equitable price for berths, and that they and sleeping car companies shall be governed by these prices, which must under, no circumstances be more than 81.50 per berth per night. Under this bill when a man pays for his berth he pays for everything, and a porter asking or accepting a tip for shining his boots or brushing his coat is liable to a fine of from 8100 to 81,000. This will compel the sleeping car monopoly to salary its porters.

ADVICES from the new Fifth district are that Hon. George W. Faris will probably not have any opposition for renomination. Mr. Faris has not been a noisy member, but he has been industrious, and his course thus far has been entirely satisfactory to his con stituents. Altogether he appears to have clear Eailing before him. All of which is certainly gratifying to the numerous friends he made in this county during the last campaign.

GENERAL WAT HARDIN, of Kentucky, has just recovered from a bad attack of malaria. In speaking the other day of his defeat in the last election, he said: "I am too proud to whine, and too good to curse and as my re marks would have to come under these heads, I pass." Wat Hardin is a philosophical politician. His example might be imitated by some politicians whom we know with profit.

IN 1895 we sold almost6,000,000 bushels less wheat and 1,680,000 barrels less flour to foreign' countries than in 1894. The money loss exceed 810,000,000, notwithstanding the fact that the average price of wheat was about 9 cents a bushel higher last year than in 1894.

THB.16 to'l. silverites held a meeting in Washington the other day. and resolve^ to cjut loose from the Democrats land Republ^cans, ,hold a national convention and put a Presidential ticket-in the field. The convention will ie held in St. Louis ori Jhly 2d, the Same time the Populist convention meets. There probably will be a fusion of these two parties. A union of the silverites may result in a readjustment of party lines in tbe Rocky Mountain States. Even should this be done Republicans have nothing to fear. They can safely count on the electoral votes of Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin, 229 votes. It requires 224 to elect. In addition to these certain States may be added the doubtful States of Kansas, Kentucky, North Dakota, Tennessee, Maryland, West Vir ginia, California, South Dakota and Delaware. Whatever the silver combine may do they cannot defeat the Republican ticket at thei next election.

IN the Indiana Senate there are twenty-five hold overs. Of these twen-ty-five Senators nineteen of them are Republicans. With the advantage the Republicans will have in the hold* overs they stand more than an even show in securing a majority on joint ballot in the next Legislature. For the Democrats to secure a majority there would have to be a revolution in the State as great as the Republican revolution of 1894. This is hardly probable, as the tide toward Republicanism seems to be as strong, if not stronger, than it was' at the last election. Even .if the present apportionment is set aside by the Supreme Court and the election is held under the old law it will not be possible, in view of the dissatisfied state of the public mind, for the Democrats to succeed in securing a Legislative majority. The pilots and schemes of the Voorhees-Lamb faction of the Democracy for Voorhees to succeed himself in the Senate will, therefore, all come to naught.

1

ONE of the first things that the "Republican party should do when it returns to power,! as it will on the 4th of March, 1897, should be to return to the principle of reciprocity. American diplomacy has had but few triumphs to its credit, but the reciprocity treaties made by our government under the jMcKinley act were genuine diplomatic triumphs, of which. every patriot should be proud. While reciprocity was not given a fair chance to show what it could do for manufacturers, yet th.e volume of foreign trade undoubtedly increased largely, and this increase would have gone on indefinitely with growing profits to our manufacturers and merchants. Notwithstanding the value of our home market, the time has arrived when we may with propriety look to other fields for the absorption of the surplus production of our labor. Reciprocity stands among the highest kinds of commercial legislation which the interests of manufacturers of the country demand.

ASIDE from his Populistic notions and his whiskers, Senator Peffer, of Kansas, has some good ideas of legislation. His attempt-to cut off all unnecessary expenses of Congressional funerals meets with popular approbation. However, there is not much prospect that he will be successful. The weakness common to humanity for a great display over our dead bodies finds a place even among Congressmen and Senators. Even the humblest desire a costly casket, a long line: of carriages at 84 each, and a profusion of flowers. Congressmen are made of the same clay with which common people arecreated and it is not expected that they will consent to less expensive and more tensible funerals. They prefer to go to heaven like everybody else, on flowery beds of ease.

THERE has been no dearth of diplo matic incident during the last month or two, but no more striking occur rence has been presented for the consideration of publicists than the re ported Russo-Turkish alliance. This is said to be»an alliance offensive and defensive, and to be based upon the lines of an agreement giving Russia a large degree of control over the international action of Turkey. A treaty is said to have been already signed This is all that can be said about the matter with the information at present at hand. In diplomatic circles in Europe generally ignorance of the existence of any such agreement is professed, but recent developments in the East have rendered the news less sur prising than it would have been at any other time during the last two decades.

THE main issue of the coming campaign will be the incapacity the Democratic party to administer the affairs of the Government. Protection and free trade, the financial question, and foreign affair?, will figure to some extent, but thrsj^ questions will be merely incidents- to the main issue.

THB shrinkage in tbe value of live stock Bince the Wilson bill became a law has been 3664,000,000. Of course the farmers are enthusiastic in its praises. Nothing pleases a farmer more than legislation which decreases the value of his live stock.

GEN. BUZZELL, DEPARTMENT COMMANDER OF NEW HAMPSHIRE G. A. R.

The Famous Commander Writes to the People to Use Dr. Greene's Nervura—It Cured Him—It Will Cure You.

GEN. CHAKT.ESl E. ^UZZET.T

Gen. Charles E. Buzzell, of Lakeport, N. H., Department Commander of New Hampshire G. A. R., has something of interest to say to the people in regard to the remarkable curative powers of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Few men are more widely known than Gen. Buzzell, who is Street Commissioner of Lakeport, and the most prominent builder and contractor in the' State.. The Genera! says:— H'T"I was terribly run down in health and, as a result of overwork, became nervous, weak, tired and without my old-time energy and ambition. I grew so fearfully nervous that I could not rest or sleep nights, but would be obliged to get up and walk about several times each night. 1 would get tired and .nervous so easily and quickly that it became almost impossible for me to attend to my business. At the same time I had most severe and is re in a a he "T took Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and it helped me right away. My nerves were so strengthened and invigorated that the nervousness left ire, and I could againsleep soundly nights, and wake mornings feeling strong and vigorous. The backache is completely cures. I am now perfectly well and better able than ever to attend to my business. I have recommended this wonderful remedy to several others and it has cured them all. I urge people to use

an

it, because I know it will make them well,'' Gen. Buzzell's case was like thousands of others.

People from overwork, strain upon brain and nerve or other cause break down in health, feel that they are physically weak and that their nerve strength, energy and power are great ly diminished. Just so sure as night follows day, will prostration and debility, the wreck of nerves, brain and bodj-, follow if a cure is hot immedi ately sought.

Neglect is the fatal thing. Never allow the first symptoms—that tired feeling, the weakened nerves, the loss of power of endurance, the lack of snap and energy—to drift you into total loss of health. Take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy now, and it will cure you as it cured Gen. Buzzell, as it has cured thousands upon thousands of others. It is the great curer of diseaase, the great strengthener of nerves, the great builder up of blood, the great in vigorator of brain and body. It will make you well.

Do not class this"most valuable'remedy with patent medicines. It is a physician's prescription, and its discoverer Dr, Greene, of 35 west 14th St., New York City, has the largest and most successful practice in the world in nervous and chronic diseases, and can be consulted free of charge, personally or by letter.

Death of Grace SfcClainrock. Grace .McClamrock, youngest daughj ter of B. McClamrock, died Friday ght at 8 o'clock, after a short illness.

Poisons engendered by food fermenting in a dyspeptic stomach are the direct cause of_ rheumatism, gout bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints, asthma, pneumonia and many nervous ailments.

These results are prevented bv the use of the Shaker Digestive Cordial, a remedy discovered and prepared by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, N. Y. It is in itself a food and has power to digest^, other food talcen with it. Thus it rests the diseased stomach and finally masters the worst cases of dyspepsia. It acts promptly and fresh strength and increase of weight soon follows. The first dose taken immediately after eating, abates the pain and distress so dreaded by dyspeptics. Trial bottles—enough to. prove its merit—10 Cents.
