FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1895.

THE G. A. R. encampment will be held at St. Paul. The railroads came down from their high horse and conceded the 1 cent rate.

THE Republican party is stronger today, on the protection issue, than it has been since 1885. Time has vindicated the correctness of its position.

EVERYWHERE it is conceded that McKinley is in the lead in the Presidential race, and the play of Piatt, Quay and Clarkson in pushing forward favorite sons will end on the first -ballot at St. Louis. It's McKinley against the field.

THERE are four active candidates for Congress before the Republican convention from the Ninth district. They are 0. B. Landis, of Carroll, R. W. Harrison, of Boone, and Dr. Tucker and Robert Graham, of Hamilton. And in addition Rev. D. C. Wolpert, of Tipton, is a reception. •§,

ACCORDING to the correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal, twothirds of Cuba is now under Republican rule, and there are 350 insurgent prefectos whose administration of the laws is everywhere recognized. He says also that several hundred Spanish soldiers have gone to work on plantations. These facts show that the republic is making headway, and that the revolutionists are not mere bands of armed guerillas, as the Spanish advices insist.

THE Democratic tariff law has been in operation for seventeen months. According to the official reports of the Treasury, this is the summing up of the national balance sheet for that period: Expenditures. ....$500,166,601 Receipts 428,323,234

Deficiency $ 72,843,307 This deficiency has been bridged over by

usiDg

the legal tenders paid in

to take gold out of the Treasury, thus compelling the issue of bonds to keep up the gold reserve. In other words, the government has been compelled to use, indirectly, the proceeds of the bonds sold for gold—in other words, to borrow money in order to pay running expenses. And this is called financial statesmanship!

CHICAGO Inter Ocean: Spain for a hundred years has been a snarling, snapping enemy of the United, States. When France sold the "Louisiana purchase" to Uncle Spain, Spain upbraided France because of the deal, seeming to believe that she still had a right to direct where this great territory should be owned. Spain had deeded it to France three years before, but would not have sold it to the United States for three times its value. The talk of -buying Cuba from Spain now is nonsense. The old dons would sit in rags and mumble over their poverty and bankruptcy for years before they •would deed an acre of it to the United

States. Spain has no love for the people in this country, and every day we live there will be less love lost for Spain in the United States.

DURING the year ending the 31st of December, 1895, the number of pounds of wool imported to the United States aggregated 248,989,217. This is far more than double the "quantity imported during either of the McKinley tariff]years, 1891 and 1892. The value of the imports for 1895 is 833,770,159. This is §16,518,583 in excess of the value of wool imports during a year of the McKinley tariff. That is to say, it is very nearly 817,000,000 taken out of the pockets of American farmers and transferred to the pockets of English, Australian, African and Argentine wool growers. It is a diminution, by nearly 817,000,000, of a fund that is used for payment of farm mortgages, or for improvement of farms, or for purchase of new ones, or for payment of debts in country stores, or for purchases in them.

IN none of his papers upon "This Country of Ours" has ex-President Harrison delivered himself with such vehemence and emphasis as he has in the one in the March Ladles' Borne Journal, "The President's Duties." Besides commending one of Mr. Cleveland's acts, and censuring Ambassadors for making political speeches he talks of Presidential appointments in a most feeling and an almost pathetic way. Upon the latter theme, in giving en­

dorsement tp Civil Service reform, he says: "In spite of all the difficulties that beset the question of removals and appointments it must be conceded that much progress in the direction of a betterment of the service has been made. The civil Service rules have removed a large number of minor offices in the departments at Washington, and in the postal and other services, from the scramble of politics, and have given the President, the Cabinet offi cers and the members of Congress great relief but it still remains true that in the power of appointments to office the President finds the most exacting, unrelenting and distracting of his duties. In the nature of things he begins to make enemies from the start, and has no way of escape—it is fate and to a sensitive man involves much distress of mind. His only support is in the good opinion of those who chiefly care that the public business shall be well done, and are not disturbed by the consideration whether this man or that man is doing it but he hears very little directly from this class. No President can conduct a successful administration without the support of Congress, and this matter of appointments, do what he will, often weakens that support. It is for him always a sort of compromise between his ideal and the best attainable thing."

THE Glasgow/Times, whose editor is one of the Democratic members of the Kentucky Legislature, takes a gloomy view of the Democratic situation in that State. In a recent letter to his paper he writes:

Not only have the Democrats foes within and without to contend with, but Providence appears to have taken a hand in the proceedings against them. Even death invaded the Democratic legislative ranks, and sickness we have had every day from the beginning. And all this is happening to Democrats, while the Republicans are as fat and healthy as pigs in clover. As "Bill" Thome, as his friends call Hon. W. P. Thome, the able and witty member from Henry county, says, "Here we Demo^rkts are pulling like mules in the mud every day of our lives. Occasionally one of us dies, and every day some of us are sick. And all the time we are pulling and sweating and sickening and dying, these d—d Republicans are sitting back eating and drinking everything in Frankfort. Not one of them has even sneezed since he came here, and I don't believe a pound of snuff up a Republican Legislator's nose would make him sneeze. Why, you might stand one of those fellows out in the river all day, and let chunks of ice iloat down from the mountains and melt against him. and he wouldn't take cold. And here we Democrats are dying and sick with consumption, and pneumonia, and every galoot of us with all ths skin off our noses from wiping them. It's disgusting, and if I wasn't a Christian I'd say damn the luck." A great many Democrats think and say just as Mr. Thome thinks and says.

THE Indianapolis Journal has dug up a little bit of history concerning the first apportionment act under the new constitution which is of interest. Under the constitution which was made in 1852 and ratified by the people in 1853, it devolved upon the Legislature of 1855 to pass a legislative apportionment act. This duty the Legislature failed to perform. Governor Wright was importuned to call an extra session, but he refused repeatedly and chaos was threatened. In this emergency the Governor in July, 1850, three months before the election, issued a proclamation calling for an election of members of the General Assembly, setting forth the districts in which they we^e to be chosen. Under this proclamation the election was held, and the Legislature elected met in January, 1857. The Governor in this proclamation recognized the right of the twenty-five hold-over Senators to their seats. If the law of 1885 is set aside by the Supreme Court Governor Matthews has the precedent of Governor Wright. He can refuse to call the Legislature together, and can issue a proclamation setting forth the districts in which the members are to be chosen. The fact is, the Governor has the Republicans by the short hair, and while they are excavating a hole for Claudy they should be careful lest by any means they will not tumble in head over heels themselves.

THE Republican national platform of 1860 containe'd this plank: Resolved, That, while providing revenue for the support of the general government by duties on imports, sound policy requires such an adjustment of these imports as to encourage the development of the industrial interests of the whole country and we commend that policy, of national exchanges which secures to the workingman liberal wages, to agriculture remunera tive prices, to mechanics and manufacturers an adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation commercial prosperity and independence.

That plank was writtep by Horace Greeley, and in all the platform literature siuce that day a more succinct statement of the economic policy of the Republican party has xiever been made. That position is the correct one, and it has steadily been adhered to throughout all these years, There have been a few weak-kneed men in the party ranks, as for instance Mr. Greeley himself wandered after strange gods, but the great apostle of protection while running as the Democratic candidate for President could not be severed from his old party faith on this question. Others have fallen

by the wayside, but the party year after year has affirmed and re-affirmed the policy that has made this nation prosperous, great and glorious. The Democracy on the other hand took up the free trade fallacy, and preached its glittering theories so well well that it won national power in 1892. The Democrats passed a low tariff bill, a measure which Mr. Cleveland denounced as a "bill of party perfidy and irty dishonor" because it contained too much protection, The people have found by bitter experience the fallacious nature of the doctrine, and are eager to return to the Republican policy of protection and sufficient revenue.

GOOD AMD BAD ROADS.

The JOURNAL has often urged that money spent in constructing good roads and keeping them in thorough repair is not money wasted, but money invested where it will yield a larger profit than any other possible disposition that can be made of it. When one builds a comfortable house to live in he does not fear that he is making a bad use of his monfey. When he pays cash for a buggy and horse, he fully expects a large return in solid comfort from the investment. Why then should he think that money spent to build roads and keep them in repair is not warranted? In Holland, where they have the best roads in the world, it is said that a farmer will haul, with a team, of large dogs as heavy a load as can be drawn over a bad road with a team of horses. This illustrates the real difference between a good road and a bad one. On a first class road it is not difficult for one to drive, with a good team, ten to twelve miles in an hour on a bad road four miles per hour is doing well. If time is money" here is an immense loss. While few, if any, counties in the State are as well off as Montgomery, it is a fact that there is not a firstclass road within its borders nor are such as we have ever kept in repair, so that we are getting little benefit from the money which we have spent in attempting to secure better roads. We had better add a little more to it and secure the end we had in view in spending what we have spent. The county is full of men who art seeking work. Had we not better levy a tax and employ them on the roads, rather than support them by charity? They would be benefitted and the whole county would be more greatly benefitted. If nothing else can be done the board of commissioners could devise and put in operation some method by which the makeshift roads we have could be kept in some kind of repair. In some of the counties which have numerous gravel roads the plan has been adopted of hauling gravel in the Fall and piling it in convenient localities by the roadside, to be drawn on for winter repairs, and it has been found to work admirably. Anyone traveling on one of our roads this wiater must have observed numerous chuck-holes and ruts which could easily have "been filled at a trilling cost had there been gravel near by and someone to put it on the road where needed. A little study, a little observation, and a little inquiry and experiment on the part of the county commissioneas would be exceedingly profitable to the people they serve. It is not necessary they should follow the example of the Irishman who went to mill with his corn in one end of the sack and a big stone in the other to balance it, for no better reason than that was the way his father did.

TJIE New York Tribune says that the "endless chain" of which President Cleveland speaks is composed of three links. These three links are deficiency of revenue, the result of a Democratic tariff excessive imports of merchandise and exports of gold, the result of a Democratic tariff and general depression of industries and business, the result of the severe reduction of wages which a Democratic tariff makes inevitable. The chain is not "endless," because the people will make an end of that tariff and of the Democratic policj' as soon as they can. When that has been done, borrowing of 8275,000,000 in three years will no longer be considered statesmanship by anybody.

T. C. PLATT, declining an invitation to attend a banquet at Detroit,thus explains the situation: "I have not married a wife or bought a yoke of oxen, but I have made an ass of myself by assuming certain political burdens which I must carry out at this time. I shall groan and weep while you celebrate." There are a good many Republicans outside of the State of New York who can see that there is as much truth as there is wit in the Boss' letter.

EX-GOVKRNOR MCKINLEY, in his Marquette Club banquet speech uttered these ringing words: "The whole world knew a year in advance of its utterance what the Republican platform of 1860 would be, and the whole world knows now, and has known for a year pist, what the Republican platform of 1896 will be. Then the battle was to arrest the spread of slave labor in America now it is. to prevent the increase of illy paid and degraded free labor in America. The platform of

1896, I say, is already written—written in the hearts and at the homes of the masses of our countrymen. It has been thought around- hundreds of thousands of American nresides—literally wrought out by the new conditions and harsh experiences of the past three years." i'

COMPARING the statistics of imports to this country for only the first ten months of the present year ••with the corresponding period of last year—under the McKinley tariff—we find that there have been great gains for the European manufacturers. The total loss to American manufacturers of all kinds has been 8118,490,294. The loss to American knitters, $2,443,163. The loss to the wool growers is enormous, and to the woolen manufacturers nearly 836,000,000. This is what has been done for the textile industries of the United States in ten months by a tariff bill of which its authors declare that domestic industry will benefit by it.

UNDER Republican rule the revenues of the government never failed to exceed the expenditures for thirty years, from 1865 to 1894. The highest surplus was 8145,543,810, in 1892, and the lowest was 82,341,074 in 1893. The excess of revenues over expenditures in 1890 amounted to 885,040,271, and in 1891 to 826,838,541. Then the McKinley bill went into effect. The duty on sugar was removed a»d the surplus dropped to 89,914,453. Then President Cleveland was elected, the Democratic 'low tariff" bill' was passed, and a Treasury deficiency has been the rule ever since.

THE New York Mail and Express unfeelingly but pertinently refers to an Indiana hypocrite: "When Mr. Voorhees, of Indiana, appears as the eulogist of Lincoln it is another proof that the war is over, and that times change with them. Thirty-five years ago uhe Indiana statesman could find no words which adequately expressed his contempt for the rail-splitter of Sanga-

School Closed.

School closed at Knowledge Point, two miles north of New Ross, Friday with a big dinner at 12 o'clock. All the patrons of the district came with well filled baskets and rushed in upon the teacher, Miss Mattie Johnson, to her great consternation. School was dismissed at once and the sturdy hand of the patrons soon had a table forty feet long made, upon which the wives and friends spread an elaborate collation. At 1 o'clock all partook of the dinner after which the celebration of Washington's birthday was observed. Numerous recitations and toasts were given. The patrons expressed themselves as well pleased with the school work and the entire district publicly announced that she be retained for next term. The teacher was presented with a silver cup handsomely engraved, by the pupils. Mr. Frank Bratton made the presentation speech. The day was one long to be remembered by all [present.

AT NEW ROSS.

The schools closed Friday with exercises. Numerous speeches were made as was previously arranged. The day was set apart for the observance of the 164th anniversary of Washington's birthday. The programme was carried out in an artistic way. A flag pole will be put up during the summer and at the beginning of school next fall thpre will be an American flag unfurled to the breeze.

Acute DyspepsL

SYMPATHETIC HEART DISEASE OFTEN ATTENDS IT.

The Modern Treatment Conxlita In Re moving the Cause. (From the Republican, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.)

Mrs. V. Cur'ey who has resided in Clarence, Iowa, for the past twenty-two years, tells an interesting story of what she considers rescue from premature death. Her narrative is as follows:

For ten yeafs prior to 1894, 1 was a constant sufferer from acute stomach trouble. I had all the manifold 6vinptoms of acute dyspepsia, and at times, other troubles were present ia complication—I did not kuow what it was to enjoy a meal. No matter how careful I might be as to the quality, quantity and preparation of my food, distress always followed eating. I was despondent and blue. Almost to the point of insanity at times, and would have been glad to die. Often and often' I could not sleep. Sympathetic heart trouble set in and time and again I was obliged to call a doctor in the night to relieve sudden attacks of suffocation which would come on without a moment's warning.

My troubles increased as time wore on and I spent large sums in doctor bills, being compolled to have medical attendants almost constantly. During 1892 and 1893, it was impossible for me to retain food, and water brashes plagued me. I was reduced to a skeleton. A consultation of physicians was uuable to determine just what aid ail me. The doctors gave-us as their opinion that the probable trouble wns ulceration of the coat3 of the stomach and held out no hope of recovery. One doctor said, All I can do to relieve your suffering is by the use of opium."

About this time a friend of mine, Mrs. Svmantha Smith, of Glidden, Iowa, told me about the case of Mrs. Thurston, of Oxford Junction, Iowa. This lady said she had been afflicted much the same as I had. She had consulted local physicians without relief, and had gone to Daveuport for treatment. Giving up all hope of recovery, she was persuaded by a friend to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The result was almost magical.

I was led to try them from her experience, and before many months I felt better than I had for a dozen years. I am now almost free from trouble, and if through eome error of diet I feel badly, this splendid remedy sets me right again. I have regained niv strength and am once more in my usual flesh. I sleep well and can eat without distress. I have no doubt that I owe my recovery to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I only wish that I had heard of them years ago thereby saving myself ten year# of suffering and much money?'

Dr. Williams11 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 box, or aix boxes fer $2.50.
