FRIDAY, MARCH 17. 1809.
THE latest counterfeit silver dollars put in circulation are worth more as bullion than the genuine. With a margin of over one-half operators in bogus money are disposed to be careless.
THERE is one consolation about the failure of the legislatures of Delaware and Utah to elect a United States senator and that is that these states do not deserve more than one senator apiece, anyhow.
ITALY'S ultimatum to China is backed by five cruisers, with 100 gune and 1,500 men. The force is sufficient to overawe a nation of 400,000,000 people
who expected to get along without a good army and navy.
GOVERNMENT revenues for March are estimated at $45,000,000, which is probably enough to meet all expenditures. Such a condition at the winding up of a war is in the highest degree creditable to the party in power.
THE United states has five battle ships in Bervice, five launched and under construction, three in the stocks and three provided for at the last congress. When it comes to the solid work of naval warfare the battle ship iB still the main reliance.
GEN. BROOKE, military governor of Cuba, and General Otis, military governor of the Philippines, have each been authorized to enlist a battalion of natives for the regular army if they consider it wise to try the experiment. The officers will, of course, be Americans.:'
LOUISVII.I,E Times: (Dem.,) Those noisy Democrats in the Indiana legislature who are clamoring for a new newspaper at Indianapolis are enraged because Editor Sam Morss, of the Sentinel, arrays his person and his paper in clean raiment. Some Indiana Democrats refuse to tolerate a low-cut vest or high-grade politics.
THE navy department has no information that Admiral Dewey's health is in a precarious condition. Months ago Admiral Dewey was given leave to come home whenever h6 desired to do so, and he has since remained at his post from choice, and because he desired to complete the work in which he Is engaged. This is strictly official.
TIPTON Times (Dem.): Joseph B. Cheadle, of Frankfort—the name is doubtless familiar to many of our readers—has been granted an original pension of $17 per month. This recognition of his services as a private during the war and valor in shooting Democrats is rather tardy, coming aB it does a third of a century after the heroic acts were performed.
THE old story of the Republicans beiDg divided into Reed and anti-Reed men has once more been given a start by those who would enjoy nothing more than to see the Republicans split into Buch factions. There is no more foundation for the story now than there has been for its numerous predecessors. If Speaker Reed lives, he will be elected speaker of the next house, unless he positively declines to serva BB such.
OBSTACLES were interposed to our purchase of Chilian warships at the beginning of the recent war, tut now Chili is willing to sell, and bends its gaze persuasively in this direction in search of a customer. AB congress was so laggard in providing for the building of new warships, those of the South Pacific republic may come in hanay if the price is found to be within our means, and the privilege of renaming them accompanies the sale. We have never yet run a warship with such a name as O'Higgins, and are not going to begin now.
No such general advance in wages has occurred in the United StateB at any previous time sincetthe rehabilitation of the industries of the country in 1879 by the enactment of the Republican gold resumption law, whic'i went into operation that year. Now, as then, the workers in all fields share in the advance. Now, too, as then, the advance comes after along period of •business stagnation. A general quickening of the pulses of trade is reported from the south as well as the north, from the east as well as the west. No important industry and no locality iB shut from the returning tide of prosperity.
IK a statement just made public concerning the work of the last congress, Chairman Cannon, of the houBe appropriation committee, gives a more detailed statement of the appropriations madeithan was possible for him to make earlier, and says: ''During the whole of the four years covered by Mr. Cleveland's second administration, the material and industrial condition of the country fwas calamitous, and its contemplation does not bring satisfaction to any American citizen. But the fifty-fifth congress, beginning with the administration of Wm. McKinley and promptly called in extraordinary session, as promptly enacted legislation which has yielded the additional revenues needed to pay the ordinary expenses of the government, and has at the same time protected American labor. With the enactment of that legislation, hope and confidence struck hands and the condition of the whole country improved and has continued to improve from that time to the present. Labor is now universally employed with increased wages, and with such employment the means are supplied for increased consumption. The vast increase of the navy, and the creation of an army of a quarter of a million men, together with the increase of taxation, have not in any appreciable degree checked our industrial advance, which began coincidentally with the incoming of the present administration and the fifty-fifth congress,'*
Now that Gen. Lawton and the reinforcements he carried with him have joined General Otis at Manila, It is expected that a rushing campaign will at once be set in motion against the Filipinos, and decisive results are looked for very soon. In late dispatches, General Otis says he has information that the whippings already administered have made the rank and file of the Filipinos anxious to give up, and that it is all their leaders can do to keep them in the field. As the campaign against them is likely to consist largely of bush fighting, Gen. Lawton's extensive experience in Indian fighting will make his service invaluable. The sort of a man Lawton is may be judged by one of the names given to him by hostile Indians in the west some years ago—"Man-who gets up and fights-in-the-middle-of-the-night." The war department has not required Gen. Otis to submit his plans for the campaign against the Filipinos, believing it to be better to leave him free handed to carry out the campaign in his own way, doing exactly as he may think best to Bcatter Aguinaldo's forces and, if possible, to capture that slippery individual.
GOVERNOR MOUNT scored a strong point with the people of Indiana when he expressed a determination to take ample time to examine the school books offered for adoption in this state and to likewise scrutinize closely the bids thereon. This is a sad eblow to the hopes of that house which, for a book it ofiierB for 18 cents in Kansas, is asking Indiana to pay 35 cents, doubtless feeling assured that the difference judiciously expended in "influence" will land the contract. Gov, Mount is right and the people of Indiana rejoice in the assurance that no fraud will be perpetrated while he is is charge of affairs. From time immemorial Indiana has been a prey to the school book sharks and the promise of relief is hailed with joy. It is a crying Bhame that this matter is not exempt from the machinations of small bore politicians and whitewashed Pecksniffs of larger calibre. In his determination to select the best books at the best possible price for the state Gov. Mount has the endorsement of all good citizens.
BRYAN, it is said, has just snubbed ex-Gov. Hogg, of Texas. The Texas legislature recently snubbed Bryan. Scarcely a week passes without some Democrat or Democratic body snubbing Bryan, but the worst blow which has recently been dealt him was that which Tammany gave when it refused to invite him to its Jefferson day gathering, to take place next month.
BRYAN'S reply to Perry Belmont's invitation was characteristic of a small fry fanatic. If Bryan has to be satisfied that every man who 6iis at the table with him is a silverite before he will eat, the day is not far distant when he will either eat alone or starve.

Harve Linn had a lively episode last Friday night. His horse, which was hitched at T. A. Armstrong's store, laid down as usual. The animal was loosed from the post and after floundering in the mud some time regained his feet. The damage was a broken
Bhaft
and harness.
A serious accident was narrowly averted Sunday. Ora Armstrong was hitching up his match team when suddenly one of the animals, which has an ungovernable temper, became frightened, overturned the buggy and demolished one wheel. Otherwise nothing was injured. Ora, however, did not go to see his sweetheart.
Two prominent young men of this vicinity had a very serious quarrel and word fight last Friday night over their common sweetheart. They would like-. ly have come to blows but were separ ated by the crowd. The quarrel is one
of long standing and will probably be settled by another word duel. The diffieulty so far has been that one iB a coward and the other doesn't want to fight.
The school»house was packed la&J, Friday night with a large audience which listened to one of the best debates in the history of the society.

A letter received by Joe Rickey from tbe manager of the Marsden cellulose company requesting the Eva Stout house to be vacated and to find out the cost of repairing the junction house and asking the condition of the cornstalk ricks. The company evidently intends to do something soon.
A person claiming to be an inmate of the Marion soldiers' home, was here a few nights ago and was fired out of the depot at 3 a. m. Any such tramp who would claim the hospitality of a comrade and leave vermin on the nice bed he occupied, should be given but little sympathy.
On account of the dark night and the bad roads there was no I. O O. F. lodge organized last Saturday night as had been arranged, but Saturday night, the 18th, New Richmond will be full of Odd Fellows to do and help to start the lodge there to work.

WE have saved many doctor bills since we began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in our home. We keep a bottle open "all the time and whenever any of my family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to UBB the Cough Remedy, and as a result we never have to send away for a doctor and 'cur a large boctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never fails to cure. It is certainly a medicine of great merit and worth.—D. S. MEARKLE, General Merchant and Farmer, Mattie, Bedford county, Pa. For sale by Nye & Booie Druggists.
EVERY family should have its household medicine chest, and the first bottle in it should be Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, nature's remedy for colds and coughB.

"Your Medicine is a Godsend" Writes Mrsm Phillips*
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—I
Since taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, Liver Pills, and using your Sanative Wash, I do not feel like the same person. I am so glad that I wrote to you, for you have helped me very much. My nerves are stronger and more steady than ever before in my life, and my backache and all those terrible pains are gpne. Before taking your medicine I weighed less than one hundred and thirty pounds. I now weigh one hundred and fifty-five pounds. My friends say I look better than they ever saw me, and I know that I feel better than I have for a good many years. I think your medicine is a godsend to poor, weak women."—Hrs. Carrie Phillips, Anna, Illinois.
want to thank
you for what you have done for me. When I wrote to you last June, I was almost a total wreck from female weakness. I was troubled with irregular and painful menstruation, leucorrhoea, bearing-down pains, soreness, and swelling of abdomen pain at right and left of womb headache, backache, nervousness, and could neither eat nor sleep well.
feel
it my duty to express my gratitude and thanks to you for what your medicine has done for me. I was very miserable and losing flesh very fast, had bladder trouble, fluttering pains about the heart and would get so dizzy and suffered with painful menstruation. I was reading in a paper about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, so I wrote to you, and after taking two bottles I felt like anew person. Your Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me and I cannot praise it enough." —Mrs. J. O. Barnard, Milltown, Washington Co., rie.

Mrs* Cobb Cured of a Great Affliction* "I think it is my duty to write you what your wonderful medicine has done for me. I suffered with itching of the external parts for six years, and was in misery day and night. I lost flesh and became weak. I tried everything I could think of. My husband wanted me to see a doctor, but I could not consent to that. He then wanted me try your medicine, and this I agreed to do. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, also used the Sanative Wash, and am to-day a changed woman. I am free from my misery, and can go to bed and sleep like a baby. I can work with comfort, and it does not tire me as it did to walk. Your remedies have done wonders for me, and cannot be praised enough. I would not be without them. They cured me of a great affliction, and why should they not cure others I would advise every suffering woman to give them a trial.rirs. J. S. Cobb, Bridgeton Center, fie.
