We hope it will find the the solution . to our present difficulties aii’4 quickly apply it. Some lim s from Pope run as follows: Vice Is a monste’ of such hideous mien, That to he hated needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace. Now for the word, “vice” substitute the words, “the fence about the square” and you have it in poetical language. President Cleveland, it is said, will recommend the unconditional repeal of the Sherman silver law. /Hear the ground before outlining a ' uture [policy. The tariff is to be helved until business confidence is .estored. This is only another way of saving for an indefinite period. Oh. Democracy, where is that Chicago platform? A Democrat Query. —-What, then, is responsible for this state of affairs? The answer is found in the general uncertainty as t d the policy of the administration. For the first time in thirty-two years the Democrats have control of all branches of the Government. What are they going to do? What will be done with the currency and the tariff?—Atlanta Constitution. Strange, isnt it, how the silver ryaection has so obscured the tariff issue! Before the election all our ills would he remedied by tariff revision and a repeal of “vicious” McKinley law. Now, the purchase of silver is the spectre whose bony fingers are felt in our business affairs. It is strange how short is the memory of the average Democrat after the election is over. These words of ex-Souator John B. Henderson. Missouri, in a recent interv ew. are worth repeating; “In my opinion, it would be better for Congress to make a legal tender of copper than of silver. Copper is certainly less varible in value. There is no metal whose value fluctuates so violently as silver. We certainly can not afford to continue a metal of such variable value as the money of our country. ” The passage of the army bill by the German Reichstag calls up the significant contrast which our own country makes with Europe. There every nation is literally armed to the teeth; n e are /unconscious of a standing army. There the hardens of taxation for support of tha armies amounts to $815,000,000 annually, here the burden is inappre- • fsible. There the traveller constantI- hears Ihe drum and sees the

uniformed camp; here he may travel from Maine California and not meet a soldier. AVho will say that we are uot infinitely better off? The interest in the union Sunday evening services will quickly .diminish unless the sermons are shortened to reasonable limit, say thirty minutes. It is not the part of gallantry to attack a lady for doing that which she had a perfect right to do, and that which involved no violation of law, either of morals or of government, even though that act may not have been the part of discretion. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.” So says Keats in his Endymion. The careful observer recognizes the curve as the line of greatest beauty. By some people these ideas are acquired; to others they are inborn. In Hope we have a conspicuous illustration of the beautiful in the fence enclosing the public square. As we look from our office window, we have a good view of the south side fence. In a gentle undulation it falls with the slope of the ground and rises again at the eastern end. This is nature’s part. Man has added his part. With many an easy curve the fence weaves its way in and out from corner to corner. Now it bows in deep obeisance to the blacksmith shop across the street} now it makes a stiff bow to the city jail; here it stands bolt upright; there it assumes an attitude of repose. The other sides of the square arc much the same. Everywhere about the square there is so much to show the visitor , the beauty, to'say nothing of the enterprise which itdisplays. We wonder if the city fathers appreciate the value of of this fence and like indications of public spirit as an advertisement of our place to visitors. It has certainly done much to induce so many of our new factories to locate here and to call the attention of so many other manufacturers to the desirability of locating in Hope; and the value of this fence, in bringing about the present boom in real estate is beyond the power of description. If our town board, through the multitude of other duties, has unintentionally overlooked this valuable relic we humbly call their atten tion to the matter that the proper steps maybe taken to increase its value still further. Next week we will give the first chapter of a short continued story. During the last campaign the Democrats of this city displayed a banner in their processions bearing this inscription: * ; Vote for Grover Cleveland ; and get : $1.25 a bushel ; ; for your wheat ; * * A liberal reward will be paid for that banner at this office, and no questions asked. —Greensburg Review.

The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together; our virtues would be proud if our faults whipped them not; and our crimes would despair if they were uot cherished by our virtues.—Shakespeare. There is, I know not how, in the minds of men a certain presage, as 1 i were, of a future existance, and this I taices the deepest root and is most discoverable iii the greatest geniuses , a.a. u.Oo, exalted souls —Cicero.

It was the first and only remedy I ever found to help me. Have used it at times for the last three years. It never disappoints. One to three bottles always does the work. —Geo. Schaefer. Hope, March 1, 1893. Stapp & Son^Agts. SUNSTROKES. The two strangest paradoxes of sanitary science are the facts that consumption is almost unknown among the natives of the Arctic regions, and that sunstrokes occur in the temperate zone more frequently than in the tropics. The first seems to prove that lung diseases have little or nothing to do with cold weather; the other that sun heat is not the only—perhaps not even the principal cause of sunstrokes. That chief cause, in all probability, can be found in our habit of going to work in warm weather directly after a full meal, a breakfast or dinner composed largely of heat-pro-ducing food. In Mexico and Arabia where the noontime heat rises often to 115 deg. Fahrenheit in the shade, the natives escape its worst effects by sticking to a light and refrigerating diet, and resting daring the warmest hours of the afternoon. —F. L.
