SCROFULOUS Sores and Glandular Swellings Cured bj Cuticura. Emma Bothtox, 857 Washington St, Boston, says: "I hare been afflicted for one vear and nine months with what the doctors called' rupia. I was taken with dreadful pains in the head and body, my feet became so swollen that I was perfectly helpless, sores broke out on my body and face, my Appetite left me, I could not sleep nights. I lost ilet-h. and soon became so wretched that I longed to die. Physicians failed to help me. My disease dally frrew woic, my suüering became terrible. The eruption Increased to great burrowing, foulsmelling sores, from which a reddish matter constantly poured, forming crusts of great thickness. Other sores appeared on various parts of my body, anteeame k weak that I could not leave ry lea. In this condition and by advice of a wellknown physician, I began to use the Citicira Kemkdiu, and in twelve weeks was perfectly cured." SCROFULOUS ULCERS. James K.

Floating Faragraph. We do not think it necessary to do either. There is a great deal beneath this hubbub that is really a symptom of the unparalleled political corruption, and mismanagement of the past twenty-five years. Our tariff policy, our financial policy, our land policy, and our subsidizing po.icy has produced this state of things. They will exist and continue to exist and continue to grow worse so long as their causes are uncorrected. The only way to stop it will be to undo the wrongs by the power of law that have driven a large element of population to seek extra legal means of redress, and is rapidly throwing the whole population into distress. When this is done it will be time to talk of coercion, provided there would be anything left to coerce. It is easier to guide the

movement than to oppose it. We call special attention to our new clnb terms of tlx Weekly Sentinels for S3; twelve for S10. CONTRITE SENATORS. One is not surprised to see the more evenly balanced Senators gradually withdrawing from the leadership of Senator Edmunds whose duplicity and weakness have combined to render the Senate ridiculous to the public. His complete demoralization by Senator Beck will drive all honorableSenators from his leadership. The state of the country and its effect upon the public mind will not admit the Senate to longer postpone its public duties to the purpose of obstruction of pub lie business. It is to be lamented that the political power ol the country is divided between tue two parties, for it has offered every inducement to obstruct, by a minority long accustomed to absolute rule, and the effect of this disunion on public affairs must be disastrous unless higher grounds of patriotism be taken and maintained. As it js, with an obstructing Senate, the Demo cratic party have just enough to be held to public responsibility without power to ex ecute any of the conditions responsibility involves. This should not be allowed to continue, even by Republican Senators with their party welfare at heart. The responsi bility of government is sufficient. Mistakes and failures will occur without adventitious aid or obstruction from an opposition, and if a party in power is admitted to its responsibilities, opposition should be based upon results, on which the public itseif judges with severe impartiality. Thus far, instead of obstruction resulting in a Republican benefit, it has resulted in still further alienating public support, for, unconsciously per haps, in obstructing the government the people have placed in power . to execute the public business, they have obstructed the public itself, and aided rather than injured the Democratic party, whom a discriminating people see is maliciously hampered in its worx by a purely partisan malice. In the long run zeal in the performance of public duties will meet the firmest reward, and failure in this respect will certainly be reflected in defeat. These remarks may be trite, yet they seem altogether to be overlooked by our party opponents. Get five of your neighbors u take Seatlne and your own will be paid for. THE "AMERICAN ZOLVEREIN." Ferhaps Europe has really taken alarm, as we a few days ago indicated in the Sentinel it was likely to do, in its gTeat naval preparation at the contemplated "American Zolverein," embracing a commercial and customs union of the Western Continent. The plan has developed both support and antagonism in the Spanish American countries. Many letters and expressions from prominent Mexicans and South Americans are favorable to the plan, which, indeed, would meet with universal approbation except from their fears of oar predominating physical strength, fears that are political in their nature and which are kept alive and increased by English, French and German agents. Every American would ridicule a political union. Xo good to any of the parties could possibly come from such a nnion. Only evil could possibly result to all. All the Spanish-American countries recognize the benefits and would welcome the results of such a community of interests, once their fear of political interferance were overcome. The plan in short, is no political union or corcmon action, but merely absolute free trade between all the countries on this Continent. It is daily growing into stronger faver with Congress, and it affords the only practicable solution for many of our most perplexing questions. Yet this practicability depends largely upon the will of Europe, and it is safe to say that not only is that will intenselv hostile, but that it will go so far as to forcibly prevent it, if that be within their power. Our own military and naval helplessness at this critical moment can only be regarded in the light of a calamity, but that helplessness should not prevent us from persevering in the line our interests end the interests of the entire continent have determined. It is not to be imagined that this project can be accomplished at once. But events will make it easier and difficulties will disappear. The first intimation of European political interference would show these governments of South America that they must be allied to a stronger power in order to retain their independence. This was made apparent long ago, when the Empörer of Brazil attempted personally to get the American Government to guarantee Brazil against European encroachment at a time when it was threatened wUh a Spanish and German opposition opposed to the title of Dom Fedro. That this country needs above all else, to engage with energy in the affairs of the world is as true as that our internal prosperity and peace depends upon it. As a whole, our internal development has passed beyond the point of feverish activity ; it has also gone too far into the future. Our railways are made, and our wilderness is subdued. The machinery of commerce and industry is scattered throughout the breadth of the land. While we will still progress, the movement will be s'ower, more conservative, more due to the natural growth and needs of population and less to the possibilities of speculation. We have built up an industry that we can not support. And we must find an outlet for it or see it either crumble away, or see it turn upon and destroy us. The same causes that impel the nations of Europa into

plans of colonization and aggression are now operative here, and we must either follow them or find that the forces we hare aroused with such magical swiftness will turn back upon themselves.-

G RATTAN AND THE IRISH PARLIAMENT. It is so frequent an occurrence now, in the impending crisis of Irish affairs, to find Farnell associated with G rattan in the admiration of those who look hopefully for Irish independence, at least in domestic government, that it may not be amiss to glance at the career of Harry Grat tan and get an idea of the sources'ot the esteem of his countrymen. He is sometimes alluded to as the founder, or chief mover in the formation, of the first Irish Parliament, but thi3 is partial ly a misapprehension. There had been an Irish Parliament in existence for five hundred years nearly when Grat tan was born, but it was little better than a travesty, and fitted its expansive name with the ludicrous deficiency of the proverbial "bean-pole in a shirt." But a half dozen counties were represented in it, and all the exclusions and penalties applied by the imperial Parliament to Catholics were maintained by this bigotted little humbug. It was called "the Irish Parliament," but was in fact a Protestant Council maintained by a small portion of the people of a smaller portion of Ireland. In 177.", at the age of twenty-five, Grattan was elected to this select assembly .by the Borough of Chailmont. He at once joined with Flood who was later bis most determined and damaging enemy in the effort to obtain some relief for the manufactures of the country, purposely ciushed by English policy to aid English manufacturers. The alliance of France with our country had filled both England and Ireland with rumors of a French iifVasion, and the "Volunteers," so celebrated in Irish history, were . formed to resist such an attempt. It was a formidable body of 50,000 men, commanded by officers of its own choosing, and capable, therefore, of being made very helpful or very dangerous to the Government, as its disposition inclined it. Here was Grattan's opportunity, and he seized it at once with the presence and promptness of the born statesman. In 1779 he made a motion, which he changed later to a resolution, declaring that "nothing but free trade could save the country from ruin." The House passed it with enthusiasm, and the armed nation joined in the acclaim. Lord North was scared into instant acquiescence. He waifted no tight with the Irish Volunteers and Parliament when he had France and this country both on his hands. Burke, in one of his finest passages, thus describes the effect: "A sudden light broke in upon us all. It broke in, not through well contrived and well disposed windows, but through flaws and breachesthrough the yawning chasms of our ruin." But Grattan wanted more than free trade under Knglish law for Ireland. He wanted an Irish Parliament that meaut all the name implied, and on the 19th of April, 1750, when but thirty years old, he moved hi? celebrated "Declaratian of Irish Right," the 'most splendid piece of eloquence that had ever been heard in' Ireland," says a noted critic. That the reader may have some idea of Grattan's eloquence, or at least of this sample of it, we reproduce the peroration: "Hereafter, when these things shall be history, your age of thraldom, your sudden resurrection, commercial redress and miraculous armament, shall the historian stop at liberty and observe that here the principal men amongst us were found wanting, were owned by a weak ministry, bribed by an empty Treasury, and, when liberty was within their grasp and her temple opened its folding doors, fell down and were prostituted at the threshold? I might as a constituent come to your bar and demand my liberty. I do call upon you by the laws of the land and their violation ; by the instruc tion of eighteen centuries; by the aims, inspiration and providence of the present moment, tell us the rule by which we shall go; assert the law of Ireland; declare the liberty of the land! I will not be answered by a public lie, in the shape of an amendment; nor, speaking tor the subject's freedom, am I to hear of faction. I wish for nothing but to breathe in this our island, in common with my fellow subjects, the air of liberty. I have no ambition unless it be to break your chain and contemplate your glory. I never will be satisfied so long as the meanest cottager in Ireland has a link of the British chain clanking to his rags. lie may be naked, he shall not be in irons. And I do see the time. at hand; the spirit gone forth; tbe Declaration of Rights is planted; and though great men should fall off, yet the cause shall live; and though he who utters this should die, yet the immortal fire shall outlast the humble organ who conveys it, and the breath of liberty, like the word of tbe holy man, will not die with the prophet, but survive him."" The resolution was defeated. In spite of the eloquence of its author. English influence was still too strong among the Protestants, who elected and composed the Irish Parliament. Almost precisely two years later April 1C, 1782 Grattan renewed his motion for a "Declaration of Irish Rights,' and carried it, with hardly a dissenting voice. The English Parliament soon confirmed it, and Ireland for the first time had a real Parliament and a chance for self-government. Faction and bijotry threw both away. It is worth noting that the orator, at the very cutset, took his victory for granted. "I am now to address a free people. Age have passed away, and this is the first mo ment in which you could, be distinguished by that title. I have spoken on the subject of your liberty so often that I have nothing to add, and have only to admire by what Heaven-directed steps you have proceeded until the whole faculty of the nation is braced up to the act of her own deliverance. I found Ireland on her knees. I watched over her with an eternal solicitude, and have traced her 1 rogress frgru injuries to arms and from arms to liberty. .Spirit of Swift spirit of Molyneux your genius has prevailed. Ireland is now a nation. In that new character I hail her, and, bowing to her august presence, I say, Esto jterpetna." Asit is our purpose at present only to trace Grattan's connection with the estab

lishment of Irish independence in 1782, that the reader may form some idea of the relation of his service to that now so well advanced by Mr. Parnell, we shall not at-' tempt to deal with the dissensions and factions and corruptions that ruined the first real Irish Parliament, and in eighteen years helped on a anion but little less oppressive than that which Grattan's efforts and eloquence did so much to alleviate, to so little final purpose. It will be of interest to note, however, that Grattan and Flood, who started as allies in 1775, became bitter enemies soon after the establishment of the Irish Parliament, and one of the most exasperating invectives in the whole ruige of vituperative eloquence was delivered by Grattan against Flood when the Irish Parliament was little more than a year old, October, 1783. Here is a sample: "But you found at last (and this should be an eternal lesson to men of your craft and cunning) that the King had only dishonored you; the court had bought, but would not trust you; and, having voted for the worst

measures, you remained for seven years the creature of talary without the confidence of Government. Moitificd at the discovery, and stung by disappointment, yoa betake yourself to the sad expedients of duplicity. You try the sorry game of a trimmer in your progress to the acts of an incendiary. You give no honest support eitber to the Government or the people. You at the most critical period of their existence take no part. And observing, with regard to both princes and people, the most impartial treachery and desertion, you justify the suspicion oi your sovereign, as you had sold the people. You announce that the country was ruined by other men during that period n whicn ehe had been sold by you."

It is understood that the President has declined to consider any of the applications until after tha time. He is very well pleased with Mr. Rounds and is in no hurry to supplant him." President Cleveland's good luck does cot desert him. He is rising triumphantly above the Senate. The fierce partisan battle which that body is waging against the Administration ha3 rallied the Democracy around the President. The contest Cime as a biessing in disguise to Mr. Cleveland and the whole Democratic party. The President and the party have not had the best of an understanding since his inauguration. He has been slow in meeting the demands of his political adherents. The effect of the Senate's attack upon President Cleveland has been to harmonize the diHerences existing in the Democratic ranks. It has brought the President and his party closer together, and the final result will be to place the Democracy in proper condition for the great campaign of 1888. Buffalo Times.

New 0r leans States. It is gratifying to find that in many parts of New England the industrial situation is receiving intelligent consideration from the . Christian pulpit. It has not begun too soon, nor is it likely to absorb too much attention. Boston Ilerald. Tiik Rev. John L. Scudder, of.

It should resort to strikes as a last resort. To violence, never. Atlanta Constitution. Thk highly conservative colleges must realize the possibility of a greater flexibility in their programme, without an abandonment of all that experience and common sense have proved to be desirable. The fish can not be blamed for hopping from the fryingpan, but he mav find a better alternative than the fire. Is there not a safe medium path in which our educators may walkf Must they go ' naked if their, lonft-worn garments are outgrown? Surely there ought to be a practicable union of conservatism and progress; I and administration that will continue to ! recognize that youthful conceit needs reprcs- ! sion; that youthful aspirations requira . guidance, and that moral counsel is as : e&ectial as brain-stuffing to success in life. 1 Scientific pedagogy should have a sounder I growth than can be created by grafting Spencer's evolutionary panac? on Rousfeau's sentimentalism.
