POINTS FEOM BLAINE’S LETTER. Borne of the More Salient Sentences of that Able Political Document. In the many tariff revisions which have been hecesSary for the past twenty-three years, or Which may hereafter become necessaiy, the Republican party has maintained and will maintain the policy of protection to American industry, While our opponents insist upon a revision Which particaliy destroys that policy. That our country should surmount the peril tnd cost of a gigantic war, and for an entire teriod of twenty years make an average gain to i wealth of $125,000,000 per month, surpasses the experience of all other nations, ancient or modern. The only extravagance with which the party stands charged is the generous pensioning of the Boldiers. sailors and their families —an extravagance whieh embodies the highest form of justice in the recognition and payment of a sacred debt When reduction of taction is to be made, the Republican party can be trusted to accomplish it in such form as will most effectively aid the industries of the Nation. Evidently a protective tariff has not injured &ur export trade when, under its influence, we txported in twenty-four years 40 per cent, more than the total amount' that had been exported In the entire previous history of American commerce. Our chief emporium, the city of New York, with its dependencies, ha3 within that period 1860-1884, doubled her population and increased her wealth five-fold. During the same period the Imports and exports which have entered and left her harbor are more than double in bulk and value the whole amount imported and exported iy her between the settlement of the first Dutch *#olony on the island of Manhattan, and the outbreak of the civil war in 1860. The agricultural interest is by far the largest In the Nation, and is entitled in every adjustment of revenue laws to the first consideration. Any policy hostile to the fullest development of agriculture in the United States must be abandoned. The farmers see the helpful impulse of a home market, and they see that the financial and revenue system enacted since the Republican party came into power has established and constantly expanded the home market. The farmers see that in the increasing competition from the grain-fields of Russia and from the distant plains of India, the growth of the home market becomes daily of greater concern to them, and that its impairment would depreciate the valuo of every acre of tillable land in the Union. It is into this field [the home market] that the opponents of our present revenue system would freely admit the countries of Europe—eountries into whose internal trade we could not reciprocally enter; eountries to which we should be surrendering every advantage of trade, from which we should be gaining nothing in return. Wages are unjustly reduced when an industrious man is not able by his earnings to live iri comfort, educate his children and lay by a sufficient amount for the necessities of age. The reduction of wages inevitably consequent upon throwing our home market open to the world would deprive them of the power to do this. It would prove a great calamity to our country. It would produce a conflict between the poor and the rich, and in the sorrowful degredation of labor would plant the seeds of public danger. The Republican party has steadily aimed to maintain .gust relations between labor and capital, guarding with eare the rights of each. A conflict between the two has always led in the past and will always lead in the futnre to the Injury of both. Labor is sable to the creation and profitable use of capit \ and capital increases the efficiency and , labor. The Republican party has protected the free labor of America so that its compensation is larger than is realized in any other country. It has guarded our people against the unfair competition of contract labor from China and may be called upon to prohibit the growth of a similar evil from Europe. It is obviously unfair to Cirmit capitalists to make contracts for cheap bor in foreign countries to the hurt and disparagement of the labor of American citizens.

It is not the interest of the Republic that any economic system should be adopted which involves the reduction of wages to the hard standard prevailing elsewhere. The Republican party aims to elevate and dignify labor—not to degrade it Experiment in the industrial and financial system is the country’s greatest dread, as stability is its greatest boon. Who can measure the harm to our shops and our homes, to our farms and our commerce, if the uncertainty of perpetual tariff agitation is to be inflicted upon the country? TheJJnited States has no cause and no desire to engage in conflict with any power on earth, and we may rest in assured confidence that no power desires to attach the United States. We seek the conquests of peace. We desire to extend our commerce, and, m an especial degree, with our friends and neighbors on this continent To those who may be disposed to underrate the value of our trade with the countries of North and South America, it may be well to state that their population is nearly or quite fifty millions, and that, in proportion to aggregate numbers, we import nearly double as much from them as we do from Europe. We send large sums to Europe in coin, or its equivalent, to pay European manufacturers for the goods which they send to Spanish America. We are but paymasters for this enormous amount annually to European factors—an amount which is a serious draft, in every financial depression, upon our resources of specie. While the great powers of Europe are steadily enlarging their colonial domination in Asia and Africa, it is the especial province of this country to improve and expand its trade with the nations of America. No field promises so much. No. field has been cultivated so little. Our foreign policy should be an American policy in its broadest and most comprehensive sense—a policy of peace, of friendship, of commercial enlargement The name of American, which belongs to us ft our national capacity-, must always exalt the jnst pride of patriotism. Citizenship of the Republic must pe the panoply and safeguard of him who wears it The American citizen, rich or poor, native or naturalized, white or colored, must everywhere walk secure in his personal and civil rights. The Republic should never accept a lesser duty, it can never assume a nobler one, than the protection of the humblest man who owes it loyalty—protection at home, and protection which shall follow him abroad, into whatever land he may go upon a lawful errand. The South needs capital and occupation, not controversy. As much as any part or the North, the South needs the full protection of the revenue laws which the Republican party offers. Some of the Southern States have already dtfv, tered upon a career of industrial development and prosperity. These, at least, should not lend their electoral votes to destroy their own future. The Democratic party shows itself a foe to Southern prosperity by always invoking and urging Southern political consolidation. Such a policy quenches the rising instinct of'p&triotism in tho heart of the Southern youth. It revives and stimulates prejudices; it substitutes the spirit of barbaric vengeance for the love of peace, progress and harmony. The public business will be aided by separating the legislative branch of the government from all control of appointments, and the executive department will l>e relieved by subjecting appointments to fixed rules, and thus removing them from the caprice of favoritism. But there should be rigid observance of the law vhicb gives in all cases of equal competency the

preference to the soldiers who risked their lives in defense of the Union. Consuls should be commercial sentinels —encircling the globe with watchfulness for their country's interests. The claim of the Mormons that they are divinely authorized to practice polygamy should no more be admitted than the claim of certain heathen tribes, if they should come among us, to continue the right of human sacrifice. The strength of the Republic is increased by the multiplication of land holders. Our laws should look to the judicous encouragement of actual settlers on the public domain, which should henceforth be held as a sacred trust for the benefit of those seeking homes. The evil of permitting large tracts of the national domain to be consolidated and controlled by the few against the many is enhanced when the persons controlling it are aliens. It is but fair that the public lands should he disposed of only to actual settlers and to those who are citzens of the Republic, or willing to become so. With a frontage on the two great oceans, with a freightage larger than that of any other nation, we have every inducement to restore our navigation. Yet the government has liitherto refused its help. A small share of the encouragement given by the governwent to railways and to manufactures, and a small share of the capital and the zeal given by our citizens to those enterprises would have carried our ships to every sea and to every port A free ballot is the safeguard of republican Institutions, without which no national welfare is assured. The safety of the republic rests upon the integrity of the ballot—upon the security of suffrage to the citizen. To deposit a fraudulent vote is no worse a crime against constitutional liberty than to obstruct the deposit of an honest vote. He who corrupts suffrage strikes at the very root of free government He is the archenemy of the republic. He forgets that in trampling upon the rights of others he fatally imperils his own rights. “It is a good land which the Lord onr God doth give us,” but we can maintain our heritage only by guarding with vigilance the source of popular power.

THE LINCOLN MONUMENT. Tlie Custodian’s Reasons for Not Making Its Condition Public. Springfield Letter in Inter Ocean. As I was leaving the monument I said to Mr. Powers, the custodian: “How does it happen that the newspapers in Springfield have not said more about tlie bad work on the monument?” “Well, I suppose that I am in part responsible for it. I have always tried to divert the attention of visitors from noticing it, and if any mishap took place to keep it from the public. No reporter ever knew about the lake under Memorial Hall. The first building over the steam boilers, being of wood, burned down March 4, 1876, when visitors were coming and going nearly all day. hut no reporter knew anything about that for years afterward. When this arch fell I would have kept it from the public as long as there was any probability of repairing the damage without its being generally known, but forgetting to cantion the builder who came and put in the supports, I was somewhat chagrined when I found that he had reported it to the papers. Now that it is generally known, I suppose that the feeling of shame and mortification that such a building, erected for such a purpose. and bringing more visiting strangers, and more fame to our city than everything else, should be falling to pieces before it is fairly finished, and that the cause of it all was the greed of one of our .own citizens for more money, restrains our local papers from dealing with it as fully as they otherwise would. My own opinion is that for the credit of our city the whole truth should not be told.” “Do you not think that this might have been averted if the supervision of the work on the part of the committee had been more vigilant?” “Yes, there can be no doubt of it, and no other person feels so much mortified as the members of the committee that their confidence should have been so wofully betrayed; but I never heard it pleaded on behalf of a criminal that he would not have committed so much crime if the police surveillance had been more thorough. An honest and capable man will do his work right without watching. All others should be ruled off where so much property and so many lives are at stake. The man who is superintending the reconstruction of this monument could not be induced to build what he did not know to be safe, though all the architects in the Union were against him.” I agree with Mr. Powers. It is a shame that this monument to Abraham Lincoln should be such a sham. But for the credit of Illinois, where was his home in life, and which was honored as his final resting place, and fdr the credit of all, who contributed to this monument, I now believe the whole truth should be told, and so far as I have been able the truth is here given. To tell all it would he necessary to tear down the whole pile and fish out the frauds as they come to view.

The Fatal letter “C.” Milwaukee Sentinel. Now that it is too late for the Chicago convention No. 2to correct its blunder, the fact is pointed out that no candidate for the presidency whose name begins with C has ever been elected. The effort to elect such a caneidate has often been made, but has always been unsuccessful. It was made in the cases of Crawford, Calhoun, Clay, and Cass, but they were all defeated. Collamer, Chase and other unfortunates whose names begiu with this unlucky injtial, had violent presidential aspirations, but could not even get a nomination. The action of .the American people on many subjects may be uncertain, but on one they seem to be resolutely bent; they will not elect a man for President whose name begins with C. One Eye at a Time, Watering Place Notes. The man “born tired,” who is too lazy to keep both eyes open at one time, lives but a short drive from the Twin Mountain House Last week a party lost the way, and baited before his primitive dwelling in a cove. While directing them, he kept one eye closed. “What ails your eye?” asked one of the party. “Nothin’,” repliod the tired man; “sometimes I keep one eye shut, and sometimes t’other.” Mr. Hendricks as a Reformer. Milwaukee Sentinel. To associate the name of Thomas A. Hendricks with any sort of political reform naturally creates a smile on the face of every man who knows him, and it will be rather a sickly smile on the faces of the independents. But they cannot make two bites of a cherry. The question is not divisible. They must support both or repudiate both. What will they do? We shall see. What Worries Cleveland. Denver Tribune. “Yes,” remarks Cleveland meditatively to himself, “if it were not for Hendricks, and the platform, and Kelly, and Butler, and Jim Blaine, I thiuk I could get there. But it is pretty rough to have to fight the whole lot of 'em at once.” Oakes Without Eggs. In a little book just issued from the press of Messrs. Scribner & Welford, New York, a large number of practical, though novel, receipts are given for making cakes of various kinds, from the informal griddle cake to the stately bridecake, without eggs, by the use of the Royal Baking Powder. Experienced housekeepers inform us that this custom has already obtained large precedence over old-fashioned methods in economical kitchens, and that the product is frequently superior to that where eggs are used, and that less butter is also required for shortening purposes. The advantage is uot alone in the saving effected, but in the avoidance of the trouble attendant upon securing fresh eggs and the annoyance of an occasional cake spoiled by the accidental introduction of an egg that has reached a little too nearly the incubatory period. The Royal Baking Powder also invariably insures perfectly light, sweet, and handsome cake, or when used for griddle cakes to he eaten hot enables their production in the shortest possible space of time, and makes them most tender and delicious, as well as entirely wholesome. There is no other preparation like it

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, JULY 21, 1884.

MR. BLAINE’S LETTER. Comments of Leading Newspapers of Both Political Parties. A STRAIGHTFORWARD STATEMENT. Buffalo Express. Those misguided souls, if any, who have been led by the criticisms of his enemies to consider Mr. Blaine an erratic and irrational sort of man will be agreeably disappointed in his letter of acceptance. A more solid, serious, sober-minded, matter-of-fact document has not been sent to the press in many a day. It is a plain, straightforward, clear-headed exposition of the Republican policy, and the two are essentially one, so simply and intelligibly stated that no man need be in a moment’s doubt as to what the party and the candidate mean, and as to what they will do if the people commit the government to their hands. It shows a ready and easy familiarity with all the country's great public concerns—a firm and comprehensive grasp and a well-defined policy on all controverted questions, and a sound and wholesome regard of right, truth and justice in political affairs. Mr. Blaine's letter is an abler and worthier platform for the campaign than that which the convention furnished It responds fully to the noblest Republican aspirations. It lifts the party standard high, and leaves the most scrupulous voter no tenable reason for looking elsewhere for purer politics or more unselfish patriotism. NO EVASION OR DODGING. New York Tribune. Mr. Blaine’s letter of acceptance places before his countrymen the foremost man of the titno. It reaches and passes the high-water mark of American statesmanship. It would be difficult to name any document in the long and glorious history of the republic which surpasses this in the masterly grasp of many great questions, or in profound and solid reasoning. No opponent can complain that Mr. Blaine has evaded or dodged any important question. With singular candor, nowhere shrinking from the avowal of opinions, in some quarters unpopular, and nowhere swerving from his own known opinions to court the favor of an)’, Mr. Blaine treats every question earnestly and yet as calmly as if he had no personal interest at stake. The unusual length of the letter is due to a powerful argument on the tariff question. But the treatment of other topics, though more brief, will surprise both friends and foes. Mr. Blaine's adversaries will be startled by his reasoning on the civilservice question, which not only surpasses tlie utterance of any other leader in that reform in clearness, but looks far beyond the existing laws or any measure yet proposed by its advocates. FLAT AND FEEBLE. New York Times (lud. Rep.) In sober truth, Mr. Blaine’s letter must he set down upon as flat and feeble. When contrasted with previous efforts of its author, it makes upon the reader a most painful impression. It gives evidence of a worn body and weary mind. There is no hint in it of buoyancy, of freshness, or of that confident ease which some original insight into the great questions with which it attempts to deal might have lent to its style. It seems to be the unhappy outcome of an attempt to turn from that realm of controversy in which its writer has won such acknowledged distinction into a safer field of sober and serious politics for which he has neither preparation nor natural fitness. Inwliat he has to say about our foreign policy the ox Secretary of State i3 palpably explanatory and apologetic. He is well aware that the sober, conservative part of the American people look upon him as a man of unsafe views and dangerous practices, in so far as he has had to do with the foreign relations of the United States, and he wishes to speak a reassuring word. Altogether, the candidate's letter of acceptance is a document whtgh causes a visible drop in his chances of election. A WELL-TEMPERED DOCUMENT. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It is a carefully written and well-tempered document, catholic in tone, and adapted to dispel the impression which has prevailed in some quarters that the author's inauguration, March 4, will be followed by a foreign war the sth. It has been often pointed out that elevation to power in this country induces conservatism. Mr. Blaine has never been known as a conservative. But this letter shows him to he cool and cautious. The is no “jingoism” in it, no suggestion of domestic or international fire-works. Rather more than half of the paper is devoted to the tariff. The Democratic delegates went home from Chicago confident that they had made a happy solution of the question. Many of them have given out that the tariff will cut no figure in the campaign. There is really little difference between the declarations of the two conventions on the subject. But Mr. Blaine tears off the Democratic mask and turns on the light of history and tendencies. The issue he points otit is distinct and well defined.

THE VOICE OF A LEADER. Philadelphia Press. Mr. Blaine's letter of acceptance is the clear, trenchant voice of masterly leadership. It fitly crowns the work of the national convention and puts the chief and the party on impregnable ground. It sharply defines the lines of the campaign and forces the fighting at every point. No sounder utterance of political creed, no worthier declaration of public policy lias appeared in our day. It is statesmanlike in its grasp, elevated in its tone, manly in its spirit, ana moderate and just in all its views. Above all, it is supremely American in its whole impulse and aspiration. The dignified but earnest and selfcontained assertion of a true American policy at home and abroad which runs all through it will strike a sympathetic chord in every American heart. Mr. Blaine treats every salient issue in a full and thorough manner, and he leaves no joint in his harness open for the arrorws of the opposition. NOT WHAT WAS EXPECTED. New York World (Dem.) Mr. Blaine’s letter has been so long delayed, so cautiously deliberated, and so carefully amended and perfected by able advices that everybody was prepared for a document certain to give impetus to the Republican cause which it has lacked since the wet blanket of the nomination fell over the hopes of the honest portion of the party. There will be a general disappointment at the result. The document is not suclm production as was expected. It is a plain, simple fact to say that it will fail to arouse any enthusiasm among Mr. Blaine’s earnest supporters, and will cause painful disappointment of those Republicans who have been waiting and watching for some justification for accepting the nomination. UNSURPASSED IN INTEREST AND ABILITY. Cleveland Herald. Mr. Blaine's letter of acceptance is long, but we do not believe any sentence in it will be skipped. We doubt if the letter pf acceptance of any previous candidate for the presidency was as widely and carefully read as this will be. Certainly none have surpassed it in interest and ability. _ Not one subject touched upon by the declarations of the convention is ignored, and on every subject Mr. Blaine speaks with a directness and clearness, leaving no doubt as to his thorough mastery of the subject, and carrying a conviction of his honesty of expression. It is the letter of a statesman, not a mere party letter. WILL PRODUCE A MARKED EFFECT. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. There can be no question that Mr. Blaine's letter will produce a marked and excellent effect upon the country. The people can not help having confidence in the man who wrote it The wbolesomeness of it can not be mistaken. It is a letter out of which any citizen can take “a square meal.” And the question will be asked to-day more earnestly than ever: Why shouldn’t this already foremost of our citizens be elected to the highest office? Certainly there is additional testimony of his incomparable qualifications. AN ABLE STATE PAPER Indianapolis News. The civil-service paragraph is to be heartily commended. There is consolation in it for all who believe in that principle. Here, particularly, the words ring out with the fullness of siueeri ty. The literary style is of the very purest, and, conceding the letter to lie a partisan advocacy, not from a government official, but from a private citizen and a political candidate—let this much be admitted, and its right to rank alongside the ableßt of state papers can be claimed for it IT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT THE COUNTRY. Milwaukee Sentinel. Mr. Blaine’s letter of acoeptance will not disappoint the expectations of the country. It is a clear and statesmanlike paper, presenting in terse and vigorous language the leading issues of the canvass. There is no ambiguity in Mr. Blaine’s position upon the tariff question. It

will not require an expert or an elaborate argument to snow where ne stands. Ho is for the protection of American industries and American labor, and draws a vivid picture of the magnificent progress, surpassing all precedent, that has been made by this country under a tariff, and largely in consequence of a tariff which it is the aim of the Democratic party to destroy in order to make the United States the tributary of British manufactures. On the subject of our foreign relations and the true American policy the letter expresses sentiments which will meet with the approbation of the people. THE UTTERANCE OF A STATESMAN. Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette. It is impossible to treat this admirable letter in detail. But it speaks for itself. No abler state paper was ever given to the American people. No better campaign document can be placed in the hands of the intelligent voter. No abler defense of Republican principles can he made from any platform. No plainer exposition of the aims of that party can be put into words. It is the utterance of a statesman and a patriot, and demonstrates more forcibly than fiver the wisdom of the Republican party in choosing James G. Blaine as its leader in the coming political contest CLEAR ON CIVIL SERVICE. Louisville Commercial. No President or candidate for President lias ever expressed more explicit adherence to the views of the civil-service reformers, and there is certainly nothing in this part of his letter to justify the refusal of the independent civil-service reformers to support him. If Mr. Cleveland gets up as able and effective a letter as Mr. Blaine has done he will do as well as his friends can ask. ITS SPIRIT OF NATIONALISM. Chicago Tribune. Whatever issue may be taken with some of the detals in the letter, the spirit of nationalism and Americanism with which it is imbued will impress the the couutry, and the people will feel more confident than ever after reading it that the administration of the government will be in safe hands and under the direction of a master mind when Blaine shall succeed to the office of President AN IRRELEVANT QUESTION. New York Herald. Mr. Blaine has not merely gratified his “adversary,” Gov. Cleveland, by “writing a book, ”he has heightened the delight by adding a letter longer than most hooks. If a candidate puts his name to a letter of acceptance eight or ten feet long, how long would be his message to Congress?

Comment by the State Press. A WLOLE VOLUME OF WISDOM. Terre Haute Express. There is a whole volume of wisdom in Mr. Blaine's reference to the Southern States. He shows that under the beneficent influence erf the Republican policy the South has been brought from the prostration of a people defeated in war to a position of more prosperity than that section ever experienced when it was the beneficiary of slave labor. And this has hoen done, it may he said, in spite of the opposition of the people themselves. The closing paragraph of Mr. Blaine's letter, like his whole treatment of the subject, is couched in language which never came from a man who is bitter at heart toward the people of the South. It is an appeal to their better judgment, based upon the indisputable facts of history. FORCEFUL AND BRILLIANT LOGIC. Illinois State Journal. The issues of the present campaign have never been surpassed in variety or importance, especially in view of their bearing upon the material and economic prosperity of the country during its whole history. These Mr. Blaine has discussed with a degree of perspicuity, a comprehensiveness and a force and brilliancy of logic that will leave no doubt as to his position, and cannot fail to carry conviction of its wisdom and justice to all impartial and unprejudiced minds. SHOULD HAVE A CAREFUL READING. Evansville Journal. Every true American citizen, who is proud of his country and ambitious of his country's future position in the great family of nations, ought to give the document a careful reading, and, having read it, ought to deem it a peculiar privilege and a sacred duty to support its author for the presidency. DEALS. WITH THE LIVING PRESENT. Fort Wayne Gazette. It is truly American, and will commend itself to every lover of American institutions. It is the opinion of an able statesman, thoroughly trained in national affairs. It is the language of a patriot addressed to freemen. It deals with the living present and not with the dead past VERY DISAPPOINTING. Evansville Courier. It is a very weak document in every particular, and is certain to disappoint those who have anticipated statesmanlike utterances, forit never rises above the level of demagogy, and fittingly closes with the cant that has become so inseparable from Republican state papers. INTENSELY AMERICAN. Lafayette Journal. The letter will receive the approval of every reader. It is patriotic, intensely American, and furnishes a platform broad enough for every voter to stand upon. READ IT IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Lafayette Courier. It ought to be read in the public schools of this great Republic, in the hearing of the coming men and women who are to make or unmake our national destiny. SIMPLE AND DIRECT. Evansville Journal.' The style of the letter is-plain, simple and direct, and the matter contained covers the whole ground and covers it well. Horrible Deed of an Idiotic Boy. Baltimore, McL, July 19. —Valentine Fritz, aged sixty-seven years, residing at No. 9 Montgomery street, is lying in a critical condition in consequence of injury received at the hands of his idiotic son, aged twenty. Fritz was prostrated by the heat on Tuesday, and taken to his home. Wednesday the son was noticed to enter the father's room with a hammer and several large nails in his hands. Shortly after a piercing cry was heard, and upon members of the family entering the room, they discovered Fritz unconscious, and the son standing near his father's bedside with the hammer still in his hand. Fritz continued to grow worse. Yesterterday his wife, while bathing his head, noticed something protruding. An examination developed that it was the head of a nail. While his aged father was asleep, the weak-minded boy drove the nail into his head. The nail is more than three inches long. The surgeon had to cut around it with a knife before he could get hold of it with his nippers. It is a miracle that Fritz has lived as long as he has since the injury. The cause of Fritz’s suffering was unknown until the nail was found.

An Unnecessary Defense. Minneapolis Tribune. Mr. Hendricks has succeeded in clearing Sirs. Hendricks of the charge of having spoken contemptuously of the head of the ticket of which her husband is the honored tail. This is all right, but why it should have been .thought necessary to defend Mrs: Hendricks for speaking what everybody thinks is one of the things that nobody can find out For Whom the Earth Was Made. Cincinnati Sun. The Sun feels prouder than ever of the Re publican party. The standby Republicans make their own nominations, and the bolting Republicans make the nominations for the Democrats. The earth was made for the Republicans. A Blaine Campaign Document. Milwaukee Sentinel. The picture of Cleveland’s bull-neck in Harper's Weekly is a strong electioneering document for Blaine. People of skill in reading character from appearauces will not vote to put that neck in the White House. Don’t Hawk, Spit, Oongh, Suffer dizziness, indigestion, inflammation of the eyes, headache, lassitude, inability to perform mental work and indisposition tor bodily labor, and annoy and disgust yonr friends and ac quaintances with your nasal twang and offensive breath and constant efforts to clean your nose and throat, when Dr. Sage's “Catarrh Remedy” will promptly relive you of discomfort and suffering, and your friends of the disgusting and needless inflictions of your loathesomo disease?

THE SCHOOL-TEACHERS. Close of the Great Convention at Madison, Wis.—A Very Successful Meeting. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. Madison, Wis., July 18.— The last scene of the great educational spectacular drama has closed, the curtain has been rung down and the audience have scattered, some to their homes, anxious about their bank balances, and others, with more leisure and less anxiety for the future, have joined numerous throngs for the far West, or North. Many excursions ai'e making this their starting point for distant and protracted journeys. All imaginable Western and Northern points of interest are among the objective points of these seekers after pleasure or geographical lore, as the ease may he. Even Alaska is not forgotten, and a party for that remote section of the glorious Union has been made up, consisting of—how many the deponent knoweth not. The railroads are all very enterprising and even magnanimous in their inducements. All the lines centering here, and many only connecting with them at remote points, have had their representatives here throughout the meeting, and they have all seemed to be very busy. Magnificent tourist guide-books have been published and freely distributed, notably by the Illinois Central and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, which operates under one management over 5,000 miles of track, and extends far into Dakota and other Western Territories. The convention has been a great suceess in every way. . In the first place, the weather has been simply faultless. Nothing in the way of temperature and other climatic conditions could be imagined more conducive to human satisfaction and comfort The citizens of Madison have lavished their utmost skill in the art of entertainment (and that by no means limited) upon their guests of the week. Os the natural beauties of Madison nothing need be said. They are unsurpassed and unsurpassable, and this year and this week they have been at tlieir perfection. All these features, however, are the elements of a grand picnic, and this convention has been, in one sense, such to all who have attended it. But that is not all. Never before in this land, nor probably in any other, has there boen convened so largo a number of men and women prominent in the work of education. All the veterans have been here, and grey heads and grey beards have been very plenty. The discussions and papers have been very able and have taken hold of the deeper underlying principles of teaching. Industral education has been earnestly and thoroughly discussed, and on this topic more impressive and better than all theoretical presentation has been the magnificent exhibit of what some of our schools and universities are doing in that line. The results as shown in this exhibit are amazing, and give the highest promise of a mighty impulse in the direction of industrial training. So impressed were the leading minds in the association with the importance of this exhibit and of the great benefit to the cause which its further display will work that resolutions were passed urging that these products be preserved and brought out in other places and m other connection. Au effort will be rondo to have it presented at the coming World’s Oenteunial Cotton Exposition to be held in New Orleans next year. In the same line, also, is the work of the kindergarten. The Froebel Institute, which held a large meeting in connection with the association, or rather just previous to it, has been constituted a department of the general association, and will hereafter hold annual meetings in connection therewith. The kindergarten display was very large and very fine, and was very surprising to many who were not aware how wide a field the kindergarten really covers, and what a diversity of results may come from the work of different teachers, all having the same general thought in their work and arriving at substantially the same intellectual and moral results. The honor of tho great success of this meeting belongs to T. W. Bicknell, of Boston, the president for this year, though the names of those who have ably seconded his efforts is legion. Dr. Bickneil was complimented with the honor of a renomination for the office h> now holds, but he very wisely declined to accept The labor necessary for the complete success of such a great meeting is such that no busy man, with his own affairs to attend to, could well afford to give his time to it two years in succession, nor is it probable that two successive years would supply tlie conditions necessary for so grand a success as he has achieved on this occasion. It is well, therefore, for him to leave to another less conspicuous person the task of letting things down to their normal condition. On the platform, this morning, was seated a keen-eyed, clerical-looking gentleman, of somewhat foreign aspect, who attracted the curious gaze of the assembled multitude. The stranger turned out to be no less a personage than Monsignor Capel, the distinguished Anglo-Roman divine and educator. Monsignor Capel addressed tlie meeting for about twenty minutes, in a manner that at once revealed the wonderful fascination of the man and his remarkablepower of assimilating himself to his surroundings. The general theme of the morning was “Elementary Education,” and so the Monsignor, instead of spreading his wings in a flight over platitudes, confined his remarks strictly to certain aspects of primary teaching, and showed himself perfectly familiar with the theme which he treated. His little speech of twenty minutes, both in the thoughts uttered, in the graces of style and in beauty and clearness of delivery, was one of the mostenjoyable exercises of the whole convention. The president for the coming year is Louis Soldan, of St. Louis, and the place of meeting will doubtless be somewhere in the South. It has been truly a national convocation. Every State and Territory was represented unless with thepossible exception of Idaho, New Mexico and Washington Territory. Between thirty and forty teachers camo from Texas, and other Southern States were doubtless as well represented. All have gone away with new impulses, and many with new and advanced ideas which will no doubt act as a leaven in all the States and communities represented in this great convention.

Care for the Children Children feel the debility of the changing seasons, even more than adults, and they become cross, peevish, and uncontrollable. The blood should be cleansed and tlie system Invigorated by the use of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. * “ Last Spring my two children were vaccinated. Soon after, they broke all out with running sores, so dreadful I thought I should lose them. Hood's Sarsaparilla cured them completely ; and they have been healthy ever since.
