A BYNUM made five campaigns as a silver wr, champion and he starts on his first gold a one July 20th. He probably consoles himself with the fact that Democratic v, Statesman do not have to hold consistent views two consecutive campaigns. The chief aim and policy is to "get office" and capture "the spoils." If consistency was the only jewel Byuum would go unaorned.

THE Kansas City Journal says: "Mr. if: Bynum will take the stump in Indiana for the administration's financial policy,

If this does not bring an appointment Mr. Bynum will be forced to the exfe tremity of advocating a third presideuffcfe tial term." i®?s Bynum has so persistently and continfe vuously been running after office since his defeat la3t fall that even good friends are i!/losing respect for him. People get tired ggbof seeing a man always a suppliant for an J|peoffice. It implys lack of ability to take ^Ifscare of one's self in private business to be fei-: always seeking an office. If people do not rank one sufficiently higk to occa^Ksionally draft chem into the public ser|§smce, why let them go. One should reifeStain his own self respect and that of his ftrac.v f|- fellowman by not always being out for Piicevery office in sight.

E Democrat almost every week and the Tribune occasionally are attacking some of the city officers or the Council Upland attempting to bring them into dlfrepute. The attacks hurt no one and the ^f:city administration tnoves ou in its good Spfwork regardless of these petty attacks, fcfe'We desire to say that while occasional ^mistakes of judgement may have been made, this administration stands out and will stand out as the most liberal aEd progressive the city has ever had. As a result of condemning the old Dunb&r corner, Greenfield has secured oue of the handsomest business blocks in the State. ^•Several excellent new residences and two tSvniee large dwellings which have been remodeled from the old buildings moved away. Cement sidewalks have been put in that are the pride of all our citizens, streets have been improved, a city building is now going up, and one of the finest

High school buildings in the State will be erected this summer. The water works have been put in and many other things done to add to the reputation of our city. Go where you will Greenfield is spoken of as a progressive, enterprising prosperous city with an administration that is not to be deterred from this good work by the kicking and growling of a few old timers and cronic grumblers.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than Jail other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed «to be iBcurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local Idisease Jand perscribed iocal remedies, and byj constantly,(failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F, J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for lircnlars and testinenials. Address

Mayor Duncan and Marshall Scott, there has been less lawlessness here.on Sunday and at all other times, than during any previous administration. Greenfield is now known as a "dry town" on Sunday because these officers had the c.esire and the nerVe to do do their duty. We also desire to commend the rest of the officers and the Council. They have? done well and better yet are improving all the time.

GALLAUDET, Ind., Marion Co., April 30, 1895. DEAR SIR:—I have been a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea ever since the war. At times unable to follow my vocation, that of a farmer. Last fall I was so bad with my old trouble that I became very weak which continued Juntil about the first of ^December when your special agent Mr. T. D. Cotton called on me and insisted that I give vour Liver and Kidney Cure atrial. I had taken in these many years every thing I could hear of and received no benefits. After taking one bottle of your medicine I found myself cured of my old army enemy and have had no symptoms] of my trouble since. I continued its use for kidney and bladder trouble of. which I was also a sufferer and at present believe I am entirely cured. I can heartily recommend your I Acme Kidney and Liver Cure to like sufferers. Yours Truly.

G. D. CUMMINS.

ACTOST, Ind., Marion County, April 28th, 1895. S. A. D-BECKITER Greenfield,.Ind.

Dear Sir: I want to say to you that I believe you have the be3t Kidney and Liver cure on earth. I was troubled for 16 years with Kidney and Liver disease, was unable to work a great deal of my time on account of chronic diarrhoea. I had tried several good physicians and could get no cure. About Jan. 19th, 1895, I was induced by your agent, Mr. T. D. Cotton to buy your Acme Kidney and Liver cure and after using the first bottle I found myself greatly improved. I continued the use and find myself entirely cured. In fact have had no trouble since taking the first bottle. This is for the benefit of suffering humanity. with great respect,

T. F. Muss.

A CHILD OF EARTH.

I cane to claim my heritage, 0 Mother Earth, of thee, Tfcou mother strong from toil and age And rich in majesty! 1 claim those faroff cedar boughs, The tresses on thy mountain brows. For me against the evening sky Those somber trees rise dim and high, Yet think not by my hand shall fall A single trunk among them all.

I claim this quiet, lonely lake, Some Titan's only tear, Where crushing down the fern and brake Stoop3 low the drinking deer. Yet never shall mxnoisy oar Push out from its ufitrodden shore Here, hidden close in nature's eye, Serene, unhaunted, let it lie. Hero may the heron nlash and scream, And here the redbircrs plumage gleam.

I claim the forest and the gales That swing their ponderous scythes, The sea when flecked with swanlike sails, Or when it foams and writhes. I claim the heather purpled hills, The silvery tongues of snow fed rills— All, all are mine. I need but roll The curtain from before my soul. More richly blest, that all may share My sacred rights in earth and air. —Curtis May in Youth's Companion.

A TALE Of ALSACE.

The carriage was going at a terrifio pace. The horses, unusually excited by the white wine that had been poured over their oats, dashed through the air which whistled past their ears. Their hoofs resounded loudly on the hard frozen road. The two carriage lanterns shone in the night like the glowing eyes of some huge, prehistoric monster.

This mad, furious course in the darkness had something strange about it, something mysterious, sinister, and all the more so, perhaps, that it was taking place in the annee terrible—the terrible year when the Germans were in Alsace.

The carriage, like a vessel in distress on a raging sea, oscillated from left to right and from right to left.

When the vehicle, which had been flying down the slopes of Ottrot, raced through the village, passing like an express train the houses with their little low roofs on which the moon cast a silvery light, the good women, suddenly frightened, made the sign of the cross with a trembling of the knees and a whispered prayer. "Mon Dieu! What is going to become of us?"

The children crouched, terrified, against the knee of the older persons. Everywhere there was a sense of depression and evil presentiment and—a characteristic sign of general terror—the fires in the huge, white stoves were allowed to sink low and go out, for no one thought of keeping them alive.

The fact was the Prussians for several weeks past had been cruelly ravaging the country.

The flying carriage contained some German officers who were the bearers of secret orders to S. "Faster, faster," they cried, whipping up the poor horses, which were already breathing fire and smoke out of their nostrils. The wretched driver, terrified, obeyed mechanically. "Tonnerre!" he growled, "my horses will die when they reach their stable if they do not break their necks going round oue of these steep curves!" And the strokes of the whip redoubled, and the dizzy course became still more reckless.

The trees seemed to fly past. Nature herself protested against the wild, headlong career, for at this moment the moon hid her face behind a cloud, as if she did not wish to be a witness to the

And still they flew onward.

That afternoon the enemy had taken possession of the village of Ottrot, and, as their custom was, had installed themselves in the people's houses.

Four superior officers were domiciled with the mayor. They sat there in the middle of his best drawing room, talking loudly in their gutteral jargon and smoking their long pipes of porcelain while they dried their boots at the hot fire blazing in the grate.

Their unwilling host, a tall old man, with a white beard, served them with drinks as graciously as he could. His eye passed sadly from one to the other, his venerable head shaking melancliolily, as if to say: "It is the right of the strongest. What can one do against a hundred?"

Perhaps his mind was dwelling on the past. Perhaps he was looking forward to revenge, thinking, it may be, of the time when his countrymen, by one of those spontaneous movements that the French alone are capable of, would be victorious and offering mercy to these very officers, his guests.

He raised his white head in a gesture of defiance, and his eyes shot fire. He seemed to have grown 20 years younger, and this transfiguration was evidence of his tremendous internal agitation.

He was recalled to the present by a gentle knock at the door, and almost immediately afterward he saw in the porch the tall, powerful frame of Lux, who was the foreman of the mayor's servants and a modern Hercules. He was agile as a deer and strong as an ox and could break a sou between his fingers as lie would break an eggshelL

The neck of a bull rose out of a flannel shirt, carelessly fastened across the throat by a cotton necktie. He was a man terrible in anger, but in repose gentle as a lamb and as docile. "What is the matter?" "There is this the matter: Another officer wants to quarter himself upon us here. Shall I strangle him?"

These words coming from such lips made one shudder. "Non, my old Lux, keep calm. That would do no good and would only bring worse upon u§, Let him in. He probably wishes to speak with his colleagues."

Lux did as his master told him, much against Jtfs inclination. It would have given him such a huge amount of pleasure to twist one of those German necks with his great sinewy fingers.

The new arrival burst into the drawing room. The four Prussian officers uttered cries of surprise.

They rose at once in a body and salut

ed with great respect the stranger who had come to disturb their peace. "Be seated and let us talk," said the new arrival in German, and in a voice of command. "You will set out at once," he said, "and take this sealed message to the Prince of at S And he drew out of the pocket of his long military cloak, white with snow, a large, white envelope and handed it to one of the officers. "Go, all four of you, and place yourselves at the disposition of the prince. Further orders will be given to each of you later. You must get horses and carriage and start at once I Is it understood? Then hasten!"

Then, turning to the host, he said in French: Please accommodate these gentlemen with a carriage and two fresh horses. General's orders J"

Lux, who had remained standing at the door during this scene, anticipated his master's reply. "It is well, monsieur l'officier, yon shall be accommodated as you desire!"

He spoke in a peculiar tone of voica Only his master, however, noticed it A mad thought had been born in his brain, something superhuman, preposteroua Any one who could have read it in his mind would have been shocked, terror stricken.

While a farmhand harnessed the horses to the carriage Lux put a saddle on Barka, an Arab horse, a faithful animal, which he loved and cared for with his own hands.

He spoke to it as

she

spoke to a friend,

and the noble creature seemed to understand. When Lux mounted into the saddle, he was trembling with joy.

A mysterious dialogue seemed to commence between the man and the horse, which suddenly, sending the sparks flying from beneath its four feet, vanished into the darkness like a phantom.

Barka, like some great mythological creature with wings, devoured space. Her fine, nervous legs hardly seemed to touch the earth, and Lux kept her going at her utmost speed.

At length they stopped. Barka was white with foam, and Lux covered her with his cloak. Ee did not feel the cold, for the awful thought in his mind kept his whole body warm and tingling. "It is yonder," he said to himself in a deep voiced growl "It is there that they are to perish."

At this point the road made a sudden turn, and apparently came to an abrupt end. As a matter of fact, however, it did not terminate, but continued in a steep, terrible slope. (n the right was a dark, mysterious wood, and on the left a deep and dizzy precipice, such as are often seen by mountain roads.

Children were afraid to pass by. The gulf of death, as it was called, had its legend. The old folk said that it was within its gloomy depths the monsters lived that ravaged the country at night "If my calculations are correct," said Lux in a low voice, "they will be here in ten minutes."

He tied Barka to a tree stem on the border of the wood, and a strange smile passed over his lips.

An extraordinary scene might then have been witnessed. Lux knelt down in this solitary, accursed, haunted spot in the nighttime and turned his face to heaven. It looked like a sinner asking forgiveness for his sins rather than one planning an awful deed for the satisfaction of his rage and hate.

Not a sound was to bo heard in the surrounding country. All seemed dead or asleep, only a murmur of the wind in the pines.

Lux placed his ear to the ground, as the Indians do in the wilderness, and, hearing a faint sound of hoofs in the distance striking the hard road, he raised his head. His face was transfigured. "At last I shall have my vengeance!" he hissed.

Then he crouched down on his hands and knees and waited. A few seconds more and the Carriage with the four German officers would be upon him.

He uttered a terrible cry of "Vive la France!" to which Barka replied with a joyful neigh.

The carriage, which had been approaching at tremendous speed, came to a sudden stop, as if arrested by an irresistible force, and remained there standing.

Lux had not moved an inch. He was not a man, but a stone wall. He made a last and supreme effort and raised himself upon his legs. Then with a terrific heave he pushed over the dizzy brink horses, carriage and men.

An awful noise rose on the still night air, a sound of crashing, cursing and horses screaming. Then there was a silence, heavy, complete, tragic!

The man rose and peered over the edge into the black gulf of death. He saw nothing. Then he sprang into his saddle and disappeared like a shadow into the night. —From the French.

When Two Generals Kissed. The two allied commanders in chief, Simpson and Pelissier, were men of very different character and appearance. The one was a tall, thin Scotchman the other a short, stout, thickset Norman. The first time they met after the capture of the city, Pelissier rushed up to the English general and embraced him with great fervor, having almost to climb up to reach his cheek. The English staff were amused at this demonstration and said to Simpson, "Why, general, Pelissier kissed you!" And his reply, with a strong national dialect, was, "Well, it was a great occasion, aud I could na' resist him. "—"Recollections of a Military Life," by General Sir John Adye.

Bewitching.

Dear me," he petulantly exclaimed, "what a dreadfully muddy crossing, and there's a horrid woman watching me too! Well, I just don't care.

With a contemptuous toss of his head £he new man raised his garment to the top of his boots and went his way. 5||He made a very pretty picture in his joufusion. —Detroit Tribune.

Among all the structures that]mike up the human body, the nerves have been until recently the least understood.

The role of the nerves in the digestion and assimilation of fcod is a highly important one. The question whether the food shall nourish or become a mere load npon the system is a question of nerve force.

Neglect to satisfy the demands made by the nervous system carries heavy penalties. When this nervous force is exhausted the disgestive processes are obstructed, the body
