THE REPUBLICAN By Jay C. Smith. HOPE INDIANA Politicians and patriots in Cen tral America, who organize rebellions and revolutions “while you wait,” ostensibly from motives the reverse of mercenary, and who often pose as benefactors of the ignorant and degraded natives of that part of the world, if latest reports are trustworthy, are turning out to be very much like ward heelers and “bosses” in our own enlightened land. They are “not in it” “for their health”, and “freeze” to all the ‘swag” that the mad waves of internecine strife may cast at their feet. The President of Nicaragua, in his recent war on Honduras, gave the world to understand that he engaged in the conflict from a chivalrous desire to give the conquered commonwealth a better government. The President of Honduras, seeing that he was beaten, looted the treasury and escaped, leaving nothing for the conquering hero. The President of Nicaragua now demands pay, and says he will stay at the conquered capital until he gets it. The only way that he can get pay is by the confiscation of the property of the unhappy citizens whom he “saved” from a tyrant's clutches. Accordingly the Honduras rebels, under the direction of the President of Nicaragua, are seizing everything they can lay their hands on. The war may be reopened. Evidently the poor people of Honduras have “jumped out of the frying-pan into the fire.” Their rebellion was successful, but they will have to pay roundly for it, besides enduring all the evils of a bloody war. Everybody knows that there is nothing small about Chicago, but everybody does not know that one of the biggest of all the gigantic enterprises, that go to make up the colossal total known as the World’s Fair City, is the reorganized University of Chicago, which has of late years been moved from the site long occupied in the neighborhood of the Douglas monument, and endowed with the millions of John D. Rockefeller. The advantages offered by such an institution in the heart of the Mississippi valley should not be treated lightly, as is the disposition evinced in some quarters. In fact this great University is destined in time to outrank all others in the United States. Its equipment is already superior to Yale or Harvard. Its picture gallery, its library, its museum, its great telescope, its scholastic course—all attest the far reaching sagacity of its great benefactor who is quite as well qualified to equip a college as he is to squeeze the millions out of the oil trade wherewith to carry out his laudable ambitions. Tub very latest phrase resulting from the constant evolution of slang is “the fellow wears rubbers,” and it is synonymous with saying that a man is a low down sneak. It originated in police circles on account of the almost universal habit of sneak thieves, who wear rubber sole shoes in order that they can approach their victims without being heard. Another “up to date” expression is, “he doesn’t cut any ice," and it means that he is “not in it.” “Not in it” means that he “don’t get any of the swag.” “Swag” means “boodle” and “boodle” means profit in a general sense. Trusting that we have made ourselves sufficiently clear for the “gumption” of the average reader, we will “come off” until the progressive and irrepressible American population shall find it necessary to cast the foregoing “out of sight” into the junk heap of forgotten phrases, and substitute for them more mystifying and expressive ejaculations wherewith to “knock ’em silly.” “We are no hog” and “don’t haf to” rob any one of the credit of adding to our already limitless vocabulary, and hope our readers will kindly “catch on” and “give us a rest” till we “hear from New York.” Complimentary. —Flamley— “I see that Miss Mature has married that old beast Bondley. She’s a plucky woman.” Bitters —“Well, she always did go the whole hog or none; that’s her style.’’

THE CAMPAIGN. Pertinent Paragraphs From Various Sources. Shorts. Indianapolis Journal. The Journal fears that Mr. Cleveland is lapsing into a condition which shows him no better than his party. The title of the Voorhees bill should read: “An act to enable the confederate brigadiers to avenge the lost cause.” The slump in wheat in Chicago, Saturday, was due to the report of the appearance of the weevil. The worst weevil is the Voorhees bill. The Whisky Trust has more zealous Democratic Senators than all the industries of the North—one from Indiana and two from Kentucky. It should be remembered that Senator Voorhees has postponed the calling up of his tariff bill two weeks, after his committee has had it in charge seven weeks. It looks very much as if the appropriations of the House will come well up to those of the last fiscal year, despite the cut[?] the pension appropriation [?],000. Those politicians in Washington who are acting upon the assumption that the seigniorage bill will save the Democracy from defeat in the Congressional elections are taking counsel of themselves. One-Man Power. Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Democratic theory is that Republican policy tends toward too great concentration of power in the hands of the executive. But when the Democrats get into power they seem to throw their theory out of the window. Never under Republican administration, never in any En-glish-speaking country enjoying a popular form of government, have such displays been made of what the Democratic party, when out of office, loves to denounce as “one-man power,” as since the last election. For the first time we have seen the President of the Republic of the United States sending a messenger styled as “My Personal Commissioner” to a deposed monarch, without the advice, and even without the knowledge, of Congress, striving to precipitate a revolution in favor of royalty in a country friendly to the United States, and seeking still closer relationship with it. We have seen this President trying to force upon an unwilling Senate the confirmation of officials devoted to his personal interests, and we have seen Democratic Senators forced into successful opposition to his autocratic methods. We have seen in Colorado a Governor, Populist in name, but elected by Democrats, provoke the people to the verge of civil war by his exercise of “one-man power.” We have seen the Democratic Mayor of Chicago meddling so offensively with the the local affairs of the wards and townships as to excite the spirited leaders of his own party into successful revolt against his attempted nomination of a ticket for the West Town. We have seen a Democratic Goyernor of Illinois discharging Democratic trustees of charitable institutions of the State because of their refusal to appoint his creatures —one of them a drunken incompetent—to administer to the wants of the sick and insane, and we now see him striving to oust Democratic commissioners of Lincoln Park because of their unwillingness to dismiss well tried and well proven employes and to put his camp followers in their places. Never was such an era of autocratic interference with the affairs of the people as under the Democratic revival in Washington, Colorado, Illinois and Chicago. The Republican party now smiles at the false charges of tendency toward the Centralization of power, though sadly, for it suffers as a part of the people whose rights are invaded by Democratic officials. The Republican party never has permitted Dosses of national, State or civic renown to act as dictators. It has been a party in which the plain people have been prompt and powerful in the rebuke and suppression of self seeking and domineering aspirants. It is for the Democratic party to demonstrate ability to make successful resistance to those who should be its servants but who act as its masters. The result as yet is in doubt. Bad Odor of Tariff Reform. Indianapolis Journal. The New York World is a very wicked paper. Its latest exhibition of wickedness, or, more properly, “cussedness,” was on Tuesday. In the first column of the first page is a picture of a most reprehensible cur, upon which is placed the head and face of Senator Voorhees, now wearing an expression of extreme dejec-

tion. Under this cartoon are the words: “A watch dog of tariff reform.” Two years ago this label would have won for Mr. Voorhees, in certain quarters, the title of statesman, and enthusiastic freetraders would have taken his measure for a halo. But things have changed. Still, with all the change, the World could have been pardoned had it stopped its artist at that point. It did not. It permitted him to put a collar about the neck of the dog with the Voorhees head; to that collar is fastened, by firm looking staples, a cask, and that cask is labeled on the side, “Whisky, $1.10,” and on the end “$1.10,” which is the tax which has been placed upon whisky, the correspondents declare, by M. Voorhees to please the Whisky Trust. Time was when a Democratic paper which would thus parade Mr. Voorhees to the world would be denounced in every Democratic meeting. Now the cartoon is the object of glee in the offices of the Indianapolis Sentinel, the Evansville Courier and the Terre Haute Gazette, judging from their editorials criticising the Voorhees bill and the Senator himself. On the same page is a three-col-umn cartoon representing rooms about the Senate chamber. “Senate chamber” is erased and “Board of Trust, Combine & Co., sole agents of tariff reform,” substituted. On the window are such notices as “Dickers of all sorts made on the dead quiet,” “Specialties of sugar, whisky and lead.” In consultation inside the committe room are seen the faces of Senators Gorman and Vest; while outside the room, leaning against the wall as if listening and much amused, stands Senator Brice. This, in the judgment of a leading Democratic paper, is the situation in the Senate. Senator Voorhees, the most zealous of free-trade advocates and the one who would have decorated the trees in Greene county with pendent monopolists, is paraded as the champion of the Whisky Trust, while Senator Vest, the most vehement foe of protection, is pilloried as dickering with the lobbyists of the Sugar Trust. It is not a Republican slander, but the criticism of a Democratic nowspa per of free-lance proclivities. U. S. Grant Post of the Grand Army in Brooklyn declares that the flag for which 365,000 men gave their lives is the flag of the country, and while the Grand Army welcomes all the liberty loving who come to our shores it declares that they shall give our flag unqualified and undivided salutation, and recognize over all, without seeming rivalry from any flag whatsoever, the one flag of the free. This is the response of one post to the Mayor of Brooklyn, who refused to officially display the flag of Ireland on St. Patrick’s day, and what one post has said it is probable that the rest of the four thousand will indorse. The old chaps of the G. A. R. are clannish and awfully “sot” about a few things.— Journal. Voted Too Much, Judge. Weary Wilkins—Ketch me votin' de Democratic ticket again.

State Aid For Good Roads. Harper’s Weekly. State aid to localities for any purpose is of course open to grave objections. It should bo seldom vouchsafed, and never except in ex igent case; but, after years of agitation, good roads in New York have slim prospects save as the State assists them. Massachusetts has found that State aid and supervision are the only feasible methods. New York will find the same, unless present signs are defective. Certainly if time be a factor in the problem if good roads are soon to be begun— State aid most be gived. While the press has been almost a unit in their behalf, the highest economic authorities have approved them, and the splendid highways of the old World have been constantobject lessons to the New, comparatively little has been accom-plished. There has been much agitation, with small results. The argument is concluded. Action should ensue; and under the circumstances —the need of prompt, comprehensive, and intelligent action the proposition for State aid is entitled to consideration. What the Angels Eat. Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar. The truth Southern watermelon is a boon apart, and not to be mentioned with commoner things. It is chief of this world’s luxuries, king by the grace of God over all the fruits of the earth. When one has tasted it, he knows what the angels eat. It was not a Southern watermelon that Eve took: we know it because she repented.

Tho lady whose portrait heads this article Is Mrs. Mary F. Covell, of Scotland, Bon Homme Co., S. Dak. She writes to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., as follows: “ I was sick two years with ‘falling of the womb’ and leucorrhoea previous to taking your medicines. I took six bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, and was entirely cured of both in six months; it is four years this month, since I was entirely well of both those diseases and have never had any signs of their appearance since and I am satisfied the 'Favorite Prescription' saved my life, for I could hardly walk around when I commenced taking that medicine and 1 think it is a God’s blessing to me that I took it. I was pronounced incurable by the best doctors here in the West. I gave up all hopes and made up my mind that I was to be taken away from my husband and baby of two years old. I was sick all of the time —could not eat anything at all. In one week, after beginning the use of the ‘ Favorite Prescription’ my stomach was so much better that I could eat anything : I could see that I was gaining all over, and my husband then went and got me six bottles; I took three of them and my stomach did not bother me any more. We sent to you and got the People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, and found my case described just as I was: we did what the book told us, in every way; in one month’s time I could see I was much better than I had been; we still kept on just as the book told us, and in three months I stopped taking medicine, and to-day, I can proudly say I am a well women, yes, am well, strong and healthy. When I began to take your medicine my face was poor and eyes looked dead. I could not enjoy myself anywhere, I was tired and sick all the time. I could hardly do my house-work, but now I do that and tend a big garden, help my husband and take in sewing.” The following will prove interesting to feeble women generally, and especially so to Those about to become mothers. Mrs. Dora

A. Guthrie, of Oakley, Overton Co., Tenn., writes: “I never can thank you enough for what your treatment has done for me; I am stronger now than I have been for six years. When I began your treatment I was not able to do anything. I could not stand on my feet long enough to wash my dishes without suffering almost death; now I do all my housework, washing, cooking, sewing and everything for my family of eight. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the best medicine to take before confinement that can be found; or at least it proved so with me. I never suffered so little with any of my children as I did with my last and she is the healthiest we have. I recommend your medicines to all of my neighbors and especially 'Favorite Prescription’ to all women who are suffering. Have induced several to try it, and it has proved good for them.” Tours truly, Dora A Guthrie. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions and irregularities, prolapsus, or falling of the womb, weak back, "female weakness," nnteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, inflammation, pain and tenderness of the ovaries, accompanied with "internal heat." Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully compounded by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman’s delicate organization. It is purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in its effects tn any condition of the system. For morning sickness or nausea, due to pregnancy, weak stomach, indigestion, dyspepsia and kindred symptoms, its use will prove very beneficial.
