Between the cable man and General Graham Osmam Digma has been driven to the hills and his adherents dispersed. Just how much of this rout is due to the man sending the news and how much to General Graham can not be definitely known for several days.

"Harmony be d," said Mr. Frank Hurd, the ultra free trade member of the ways and means committee. While Mr. Hurd's views are not very sound on the tariff question, he is un doubtedly possessed of correct views regarding the situation of the Democratic party.

The control of the office of township trustee has been with the Republicans for several years and there is no question as to the good stewardship. The Republican candidate, Mr. Reichert, is undoubtedly the man for the place and the people, we are satisfied, will see to it that he is elected.

Wiggins has broken away from his keepers, and is making predictions. He claims to have predicted the storm of Tuesday, and says its twin will arrive this afternoon, at 2 o'clock. Along the Atlantic coast there are to be hurricanes, and a tidal wave. Cyclones anil earthquakes will occur in divers -. places.

The Indiana Christian Temperance Union at its seventh annual session day before yesterday adopted a series of resolutions among which was the following: "Resolved, That If neither the Republican nor the Democratic party should In the coming state convention pledge itself In favor of the statutory and constitutional prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage within the state of Indiana, then we Instruct the president of the Temperance Union to call a state convention of Prohibitionists for the purpose of adoptiag a platform favoring the same and nominating a ticket pledged thereto. But 5f either of said parties in said convention pledge Itself, then to the support of that party we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."

The Democratic state central com--mittee, realizing the significance of the township elections this year, has directed the attention of the leading men of the party in different parts of the state to the necessity of electing Democrats to the trusteeships. It is the first of several elections in a presidential year. The result encourages the party that carries the day. It

is moreover good news to the party in other states. The township elections have been given more political significance than they hava heretofore possessedby the letter from Mr. McDonald, the chairman oft he Democratic committee. It should also serve as a warning to the Republicans.

If other cities would do as Terre Hsntedid with Mrs. Langtry we would soon see the end of extravagant prices for ordinary theatrical attractions. The foreign artists have been coming to this country and making independent fortunes in a single season. They have been enabled to do this becaase the people have submitted to extortionate prices. In the case of Mrs. Langtry's appearance here the other night it was shown that the public was being asked to pay

as there was any

twice as much

grounds for de

manding and it was also made evident that when the public refuses to submit the price will be reduced. There had been a very poor advance sale and late in the afternoon it was announced that the price of admission would be seventy-five cents exactly one half of what had previously ruled in the sale. The result was that there was a large attendance. The house would have been crowded had the announcement been made a day sooner. The time is coming when 75 cents will be considered sufficient for the best seat at the best performance. The well advertised attractions will then be compelled to work two years to make what they are now receiving for one year's service. Perhaps, also some of the luxuries, such as a palace car, a corps of high salaried aids and flunkeys may have to be dispensed with, but still the artist will not be subjected to any great distress.

An Inaccessible Editor.

Edinburgh Letter to Philadelphia Press. The newspapers of Scotland are far behind us in enterprise and news their forte is heavy leaders and long speeches. The offices are conducted in a manner which is novel to an Ameri can. Having occasion to visit the office of the Scotsman, I was met by a female dragon, who guarded the approach to the sanctum. Ber brilliancy startled me from my usual composure. I have not been accustomed to see in newspaper offices women at all, but more especially one wearing diamonds in her ears and pearls around her neck, with an eye-glass tipped gracefully on her nose, out of which—the eye-glasses, not the nose—she viewed me suspiciously. In a voice not sweet but strong she demanded my business. "I want to see the editor," I answer ed. "The editor is never seen," was the reply. "Never seen!" I exclaimed. "Never seen except by those know him," was the answer. "What's his name?" I asked. "His name is never given to people who don't know it," she said. "How can I communicate with him "By letter," replied the fair Cerberus. Such was my experience 'in the office of the Edinburgh Scotsman.

The Russian Minister's Wife. Washington Letter. I have often mentioned the Russian minister and wife as charming people, sensible, hospitable and friendly. Although a stranger to Mrs. Bingham, who is suffering with cancer, Mme. de Struve sent to the afflicted lady a remedy which She knew had been successfully used in cases like that of Mrs. Bingham's. The first application caused a paintul swelling on Mrs. Bingham's neck to subside, and the pain was lessened. Since then Mme. de Struve hns become almost a nurse to Mrs. Bingham and taken charge of the case. She is a graduate of a foreign medical school of homcepathy. Mre. Bingham had been kept under the influence of morphine to render her unconscious of suffering until death came to her relecse. Mme. de Struve has discontinued the use of morphia, and her patient is improving. Mme. de Struve is a deciple of Dr. Mattei, of Bologna, Italy. He has made some marvellous cures, especially of the cancer.

A quarrelsome husband and wife signed a treaty of peace in a Brooklyn court the other day, in which they agree to live together, but never to speak.

PRAISE FOR THE PRESIDENT.

The Leading New York Evening Paper Sams Up Arthur's Good Points. Special to the Chicago Daily News.

NEW YORK, N. Y., March 26.—The Commercial-Advertiser, the leading Republican evening paper of New York, which parsed under the control of Parke Goodwin yesterday^jmnts a long editorial to-day on President Arthur, saying among other things:

Mr. Arthur came into power under the most trying circumstances, such as might well have appalled the stoutest heart, and he has confronted them with a dignified and conscientious sense of his responsibilities, and, as it seems to us, with remarkable firmness and sobriety of judgment. His earlier associations and methods as a politicians were widely regarded as not likely to be creditable to him in his more elevated position, but from these he worked himself away gradually, but effectively, and regardless of all sinister influences he has devoted his time thoughtfully and impartially to the discharge of his duties. If the performances of the administration have not been signally brilliant (which is a good thing for the country, since brilliant executive display is apt to be dangerous,) they have been judicious, well considered and creditable. Nothing important that ought to have been done and could be done has been omitted, and much has been accomplished toward the maintenance of peaceful relations abroad and of assured prosperity at home. In one respect, indeed, the admlttiBtmtion has been unusually successful, and that is in securing the confidence of the business interests of the nation. Mr. Arthur, as an old New Yorker thoroughly conversant with the needs and usnages of finance, on which so much depends, and he may be trusted to see to it that no improper tamperings with the currency and no wild schemes of interference with the proverbially cautious politics of commerce shall be permitted. Mr. Arthur has 6,-hown, moreover, by his timely and able veto of the river and harbor appropriation bill in the face of a strong congressional sentiment that he is a determined enemy of extravagance, and courageous enough to rebuke it even when his political friends are accomplices in the wrong.

It may be objected that President Arthur has evinced less energy and zeal in the enforcement of civil-service reforms than he ought to have done, and we could wish that he had been more strenuous, but he has accepted the principles embodied in recent legislation, and his riper experiences fortif ed as they will be by a growing public sentiment, will impel and con firm him more and more in the right direction. Yet admitting, for the nonce, that he had been more remiss than he really has been, have we any reason for expecting better service from his prominent competitors for nomination The formost of these is unquestionably Mr. Blaine, despite his coy disclaimers, who is a man of brilliant parts and accomplishments as well of brilliant ambition—qualities which are safer on the floor of a legislature than in the executive chair, as his brief eiplomatic career abundantly proves. Another of them who is creating a consi'derable stir at this time is Senator Logan—a chaser of popularity, not a statesman, who is radically unsound on all financial issues, and whose legislative course is chiefly characterized by the urgency with which he introduces and commends penBionpaying schemes of the most questionable and injurious precedent.

It seems clear to me that as Mr. Arthur has deported himself so weli in his place it is incumbent on his party not to reprehend him for it by dismissal, but to reward him for it by hearty and unanimous approval.

BLAINE THE STRONGEST MAN

A Pennsylvania Editor's Enthusiastic Tribute to the Flamed Knight. Special Dispatch to the Chicago News.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn., March 25.— Senator Cooper, chairman of the Republican state commi ttee, has written an article which appears to-day in his paper, the Delaware American, in favcr of Blaine for the presidential nomination. Among other reasons which he assigns for his position are these:

Blaine can best succeed, because no other candidate is so strong in the Pacific states. No slander like the Morey letters can rob him, as Garfield was robbed of California aird Nevada, which are absolutely essential if New York should fail. Neither fraud nor slander can successfully assail Blaine. Enthusiasm will run over every de,vice and trick. A grand life-record, 'against which these things have always been vainly aimed, cannot be injured when love and interest conspire for their rejection. Blaine can best succeed because the magic of his name will enthuse Ohio's October canvass, and

swell

the Republican majority there that its influence will reach and control Indi ana and New York. We regard Ohio's October battle as one of the pivots upon which November's grand result must turn, and no man of less prom inence and popularity can produce the enthusiasm needed to render the money of Payne and Bookwalter useless. Blaine can best succeed against the accidents incident to every canvass because he is the one man of all that are named who can be elected without New York. Ohio's October result will settle Indiana if Blaine be the nominee.

Ja'dge David Davis.

Special Telegram to the Inter-Ocean. BLOOMINOTON, 111., March 26.— While the possibility exists that exVice President David Davis will be selected to head the Illinois Bepublican delegation in the Chicago conven tion, it is altogether probable that the venerable and respected gentleman will have domestic business upon his hands that will require his personal attention at the Davis mansion in this city. The Inter Ocean's representative has good authority for the statement that anew source of happiness and parental interest is ere long to appear the Davis household. The genial and even-tem-pered judge and ex-senator, since his marriage amid the vineyards of Tokay, in the sunny south, has exhibited the splightliness of youth, and a jovial sociability that is something notable

even in his characteristically amiable and happy life. His old friends here anxiously await the opportunity to extend to nim and to the fair Mrs. Davis the customary congratulations.

POIilTICAIi NOTES.

Samuel M. Dixon, local attorney for the Cnicago and Northwestern Road, has been nonunated for mayor of Milwaukee by the Democrats.

The Nevr Hampshire state Republican convention for the selection of delegates to the Chicago convention, will be held at Concord, April 30.

The New York Herald finds that a majority of Democratic senators and assemblymen of the legislature of that state are for Tilden, if he will accept

The Seventh and Eighth Districts of Pennsylvania, including Lackawanna and the adjacent counties, have elected delegates to the state convention in favor of Blaine and Lincoln.

According to the Auburn (N. Y.) Advertiser, William H. Seward predicted in 1860 that there would be no more eastern presidents. The west has become the seat of empire.

The Piatt county (111.) delegates to the Republican^ state convention are instructed for Oglesby for governor, Rowell for congress, and V. S. Ruby for representative in the legislature.

The Boston Herald believes that when the Democratic national convention meets next July the nomination of Grover Cleveland, of New York, will be found a necessity. That is a belief that gains strength day by day, provided Sammy Tilden "won accept."

The Kankakee county ftll.) Republican convention nominated J. F. Leonard for re-election for circuit clerk and H. L. Richardson for state's attorney. Instructions were given for Jxgan for president, Oglesby for governor, Swigert for state auditor, Payson for congress, H. K.Wheeler for state senator, and M. F. Campbell for representative.

Washington Not an Angler. Philadelphia Call. Jones—What an enthusiastic old angler George Washington was!

Smith—Washington! Why he was was nota fisherman. "^ones—Indeed he was a great lover of .the sport. He wrote a book about it.

Smith—No, indeed Washington could not tell a lie.

Conscientious John Bell.' Cohocton Times. An unusual case of official conscientiousness has developed in Schuyler county. John Bell, the supervisor elect, could not or would not take the oath ©f office which required him to say that no money had in any way been used to influence his election, and the office has thus become vacant, and another town meeting will be held.

SCROFULA

•nd all scrofulous diseases, Sores, Erysipelas, Eczema, Blotebes, Btngworm, T» •aors, OntaadM, Boils, and Krupthw of the Skin, are the direct result of an impure state of the blood.

To core these diseases the blood must be purified, and restored to a healthy and natural condition. AYSB'S SAXSAFABILLA has for over .forty yean been recognised by eminent medical authorities as the most powerful blood purifier in existenoe. It frees the system from all foul humors, enriches and strengthens the blood, removes all traces of mercurial treatment, and proves itself a oomplete master of all scrofulous diseases.

A Becent Con of Scrofulous Sores. "Some months ago I was troubled with scrofulous sores (ulcers) on my legs. The limbs were badly swollen and inflamed, and the sores discharged large quantities of offensive matter. Every remedy I tried failed, until I used ATKR'S SABSAFABJ&LA, of wMch I have now taken three bottles, with the result that the sores are healed, and my general health greatly improved. I feel very grateful for the good your medicine has done me.

Yours respectfully, Mas. Ass O'BKIA 118 Sullivan St., liew York, June H, 1882.

All persons Interested are invited to call on Mrs. O'Brian also upon the

Rev.

z. P. 'Wilds of 78 East 54th Street, New York City, who will take pleasure In testifying to the wonderful efficacy of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, not only in the cure of this lady, but in his own case and many others within his knowledge.

The well-inown writer on the Boston Herald, B. W. BALL, of Bochester, NM., writes, June 7,1882:

Having suffered severely for some years with and having failed to find relief from other remedies, I have made use, during the past three montns, of AYER'S SABSAPA2ULLA, which has effected a complete cure. I consider it a magnificent remedy for all blood diseases."

Ayer'sSarsaparilla

stimulates and regulates the action of the digestive and assimilative organs, renews and strengthens the vital forces, and speedily cures Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Rheumatic Goat, Catarrh, General Debility, and all diseases arising from an impoverished or oorrupted condition of the blood, and a weakened vitality.

It incomparably the cheapest blood medicine, on account of its concentrated strength, and great power over disease.
