Mr. Bryan has positively prom, ised to attend ths convention of bimetallic clubs in Indian polij, 6th nd 7th April next, and will deliver an address especially prepared for the occasion Umbrellas will last longer if, when wet, thev are placedfehandle downward to dry. As only delegates will be certain of good, seats at the great bimetals lie convention in Indianapolis, April 6th and 7th, every one sho’d go as a delegate if possible; and as every silver club can send Jfitty delegates and clubs can be organized in every township or even pre* cinct by the blank forms furnished by Parks M. Martin,f Room 11, Union Block, Indianapolis, {who must also be sent the list of dele, gates and $1 registration fee from each chb.

The joys o' anticipation are well illustrated in the profits the grocer makes on sales of new maple sugar that is placed on the marke pjfore the sap begins|to run in the maple trees... Boston Transcript Judge Healy’s is the plact for shoes—Genes', Ladies’ and Child*, ren’s. Don’t forget it. In an adjoining county town, while a ladies’ card club were er gaged in playing for a two dollar book as a prize, the sons of these same ladies, small boys, were arrested in a haymow while playing for fifty cents as a prize, they had organized a club like mother’s, they said Tne mothers cried, and said “what a terrible place town is to raise boys, anyhow.” Served the boys nght. They might I av-. known the difference between a haymow and a parlor, and between a two dollar and a fifty cent prize. Try Kennel & Abbett’s Vienna Bread. Mone better. In a recent sermon Sam Jones said: “When God gives a man a good wife and six children, He has done a great deal for that fellow. But when He gives him a society woman and a poodle,Hejhas thrown off od him. These society women look upon children as nuisances. 1 have had some of these society women shake hands with me. 1 would as soon shake a dead fish’s tail. 1 wouldn’t give one of your .rock darning women for all the society women in the country. Be-, tween cutting off the tops of their dresses for the ball room and the bott >m tor the bicycle, these society women have no clothes left. A man said to a society woman “I hope I’ll see more of you.” She said: “Come to the ball to-night.” Some people say you shouldn’t speak that way before a mixed au-. dience. You old sisters wear a high collar close around your ue ks .. that’s modest and comely. But deliver me from the society women who button their collars around their waists. You preachers don’t talk that way, do you? You talk about the sweet bve and bye. You ought to talk about the nasty now and then.”

It cannot be claimed by republic hcans that the Dingley law has yet burdened the Government with available cash. It yielded a small surplus during the month of February .. a surplus ot about $2,000,000 (which has no prospect of being repeated. But for every other month during which it has been in force, except November and December last, when there were very unusual miscellaneous receipts, (from the sale of the Pacific rail” wav) there has been a deficit.

The strike io the cotton industries in New England is on its last legs. The end is in sight, and victory, as usual, rests with the corporations. Numbers of workingmen have signified their readi* ness to go to work at the reduced pay which promoted the strike. In these blessed days of McKinley prosperity a half a loaf is ever so much better than no loaf at all — It vas choice between actual eta » vation and a partially satisfied appetite, and the cotton mill operas tives wisely chose the latter. The mill owners have won. They can now divide greater dividends and prepare for another demonstration of the splendid possibilities of protectionism.

There has been more or less boasting in republican newspapers over the fart that the $50,000,000 appro* priation could be made without increasi g the taxes. Of course, the impression desired to be made on the public mind is that the lepublican administration has a surplus in the treasury. It is a fact that there is plenty of money in the treasury, but it is also a fact that it is boriowed money. Grover Cleveland’s bond issue in time of peace has made it possible for McKinley to get along without a bond issue at a time when war is threatened. Congressman Gannon indulged in a little buncombe when he in* troduced his resolution appropii* ating the $50,000,000 He said that “we did not have to present with this proposition o .e to borrow money or to increase taxation; to which almost any other nation on earth would have been obliged to resort.”

This is true, but it is only true because the taxation was fevi d by Mr. Cleveland, thus-relieving the republican administration ot the necessity. Surely congressman Cannon does not expect that this expenditure of $50,000,000 will be met by rhe rev enue derived from the Dingley bilb wnich has rolled upthemagnifb cent defic’t of nearly $53,000,000 during the last seven months? If more monev is needed it will he lorthcoming, but the Dingley icvenue will not supply it. Good warm lunch at Kennel & Ab I ett’s restaurant and bakery, for 15 cents. Bring on that wooa.

All delegates and visitors to the great bimetallic convention in Indianapolis, * pril 6tfi and 7th next, will be given a railroad rate of one fare for the round-trip from all points in Indiana. Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky, tickets to be on sale April sth and 6th to be good r s tuning all the fest oi the week. Here is a demonstration in math ematics for the farmer and the bu - sin<.,3 man:

“ 1 ha assessed valuation of property i i the United States, as shown A7O l 1890 ’ Wn3 25 >" 4/o > <3,4! t ictual value estimated at UG,-.0,000,000. Ths was increased at least 10 per cent, in 1891 and 1892, but sin?e the res peal of the Sherman law there has been a decrease in the value of all krnds of property, the average being estimated at 30 to 15 per cent Say that the decrease has been only 25 per cent, and we find that it amounts to $11,068,750,000, or enough to Day,not only the national debt of the United States, but enough to.pay also the debts of England, Germany and Fra ce. lhe demonetization of silver and and its consequent substitution of gold monometallism f r the bimetallic system of the- country is responsible for this enormous depreciati nin values. The republican party is pledged to the perpetua“ou the single gold standard. And it appeals to the business men to sustain it! Will they do it? Are thej’ business men in ns me only?

No convention to be held this year will be fraught with greater interest or importance than the great gathering of the democratic hosts a, d their bimetallic allies of Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana in Indianapolis on Wednesday and Thursday, April 6th anti 7th, at the second annual convention of the League ot Bimetallic Clubs of the Ohio Valley.

To the promptings of Samuel J. Tilden, from whom the Presidency was stol n in 1877, is the United States indebted today for the splendid condition of our const defenses. To Grover Cleveland is the U* S- indebted for borrowing the mo ney which today meets the expen ditures of the recent $50,000,000 appropriation. •— - - To the republican Harriso ? administration for looting the treasury of its surplus and revenues, and Wm. McKinley for his tariff law a hich reduced revenues, and the republican billion dollar congress for increasing deficits is the United States indebted for making it necessary for Mr. Cleveland to borrow the money now so conveniently on hand.

The dispatches state in quite positive terms that President McKinley intends to throw the responsibility of recognizing the in. dependence of Cuba upon con gress. Senator Proctor has presented sented the case for intervention in a way that brings convictiou to ewy honest inquirer. Why not intervene and be done with it? It does not help the starving Cubans any to .alk about it. • Mark Hanna and Steve Elkins are clamoring for peace. Are the stock jobbers controlling the President’s Cuban policy? “1 fully expect to see the dav when the constitution of the United States will expressly declare the income tax to be constitutional and put ft b yond the power of any su preme court to thwart a measure of righ and jusHce...

BRIGHT’S DISEASE is the most dangerous of all human ailments because its approach is unobservable. Its symptoms are common to other diseases, viz., Severe Headache, Backache, Dizziness, Sleeplessness, Blurred Vision, Dyspepsia, etc. Once let it ret a firm hold on the system and It is difficult to dislodge. It is caused by inability of the kidneys to filter the Urea from the blood.

HOW TO FIND OUT. Fili a bottle or summon glass i\ith urine and let h stand twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of Ihe kidneys. Whtn urine stains hnen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

WHAT TO DO, There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder,and every part of the urinery passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bi d effect following use of liquor winy or beer, and overcomes that unplaasant necessity of being compel ed to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is scon realized It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need r medicine you should have the best.
