O. 1'iiKARa Facts About "The Sentinel.' The Sentinel is making eplendid progress in fill directions. The regular tona ride circulation of the daily issue is to-day larger than that of any other morning paper in Indiana. No morning paper, printed in or out of the Ptate, has now, or ever has had a circulation in Indiana approximating that of The Daily Sentinel. The Sunday Sextixel is growing in popularity with every isMie. The general excellence and pleasing variety of its contents commends it to intelligent readers wherever it is accessible on the day of its publication. It is admitted to be niJt only the best Sunday paper printed in Indiana, but the best Sunday paper that is circulated in Indiana. The Indiana State Sentinel (weekly) has always enjoyed a larger circulation than any other weekly publication in Indiana. Its constituency is swelling every day. It goes to almost every postomce in the state, and to hundreds of postoffices in other states. The several editions of The Sentinel daily, weekly and Sunday are pre-eminently the best advertising mediums available to the business men of Indianapolis, or others w ho desire to reach the people of Indiana. The readers of The Sentinel are, as a rule, intelligent, thrifty and enterprising people. ' They have varied wants and the means of gratifying them. Their trade is very desirable and there is no ttetter way to "cultivate" it than by advertising liberally in The Sentinel. TJie great majority of The Sentinel readers cannot be reached through any other medium. The Chicago Convention. At the hour of going to press it is simply impossible for us even to guess approximately who will be the republican nominee for the presidency. It eeems to re generally understood that Senator Sherman will lead on the first ballot and it may be that he will be the lucky or the unlucky one. In the meantime our readers will find elsewhere in this issue, all the important news from Chicago up to the usual time for putting the weekly edition of The Sentinel to press. In our next issue we will complete the story of the Chicago republican convention of 1SS8. The Political Outlook. We print elsewhere an interesting and suggestive letter from a well informed occasional correspondent of The Sentinel at Washington, which describes the political situation as it appears at the national capital. Sagacious republicans, it seems, have little hope of electing a president this year. They realize that the odds are overwhelmingly against them, that on the tariff question the democratic position is at once right and popular, and that only by a"lluke''can any republican who may be named at Chicago hope to reach the White House. The republicans in congress, how ever, are determined to prevent any reduction in the tariff before the election, and if, byany chance they should succeed in November, their intention is to repeal the internal revenue taxes in toto, rendering it impossible for the tariff to be reformed for years to come. This is unquestionably their programme, and though It will not le openly avowed at Chicago, the platform will point that way. Meantime they will play the part of obstructionists at Washington, as they have been doing fince congress assembled proposing nothing, in their own behalf, but offering a blind, eullen resistance to the efforts of the democrats to relieve the people's burdens. It is this stupid and shortsighted policy which is rapidly alienating from the republican party the progressive and liberal-minded voters in the country, and reducing it to the level of a mere pack horse for monopoly. The democrats in Washington are in high feather, and well they may re. The democratic skies were never brighter, the democratic prospects never more flattering. The stars in their course are fighting for the grand old party of the constitution. Down with the war taxes. The Kmperor'a Death. Emperor Frederick is dead. lie made a brave and heroic struggle against (ate, and to the last clung to life with the grim determination of the warrior. He resisted, with desperate energy, the advances of the fatal malady which had fastened it3elf upon him, and long after tho hopelessness of his case had impressed itself upon the world he cherished the hope of ultimate recovery. Thero was something profoundly pathetic in this sturdy Teuton's gallant struggle against the inexorable destiny which had nmked fcim for dissolution just as he had reached the climax of hia career something which appealed with irresistible force to the sen

sibilities of mankind, and moved the sympathies even of those to whom emperors and kings are abominations. There will be few to withhold from the dead monarch that tribute of respect and admiration which are due to him who faces danger bravely, endures suffering patiently, and flinches not in the presence of the universal enemy. Frederick was a brave man, and if his life had been prolonged there is reason to believe that his reign would have been enlightened and progressive. His successor does not possess the qualities which commended Frederick to tho world's esteem, and his accession to the throne is not an event upon which Germany or Europe is to be felicitated. He is understood to be a mere puppet in tho hands of Bismarck, and so long as the chancellor lives the latter w ill doubtless shape the imperial policy. But Bismarc k is an old man, and when he is gone the Hohenzollern dynasty will meet its crisis. The German people are permeated with democratic ideas, and have long been restless under the iron rule of Bismarck. When his strong hand is removed there promises to be such au upheaval in the Fatherland as will shake the existing government to its very foundation, if indeed it does not topple it over altogether. Young William has neither the moral nor intellectual qualities which will be needed in the ruler of Germany in such an emergency.

Itcpu1licnn Lawlessness. The Indianapolis Journal says: Kfforts to enforce the Sunday closing law in Cincinnati have thus far practically failed. In live trials there have been two acquittals, two disagreements and one conviction. The most discouraging feature of the ease is that where the testimony for the prosecution is clear and none is offered in defense the juries fail to convict. This makes justice a farce, but it demonstrates the impossibility of enforcing a law without public sentiment behind it, ana it must not be too far behind either. A Cincinnati paper, describing the state of affairs that prevailed Sunday, says that "the Owen law was dead to all practical intents and purposes so far as Cincinnati was concerned. Nearly every saloon on Vinc-st., from Fourth-st. to McMickenave., had some means of ingress, and it is doubtful if there were twenty-five saloons in the city, all told, which were really closed. Some were kept boldly open and the usual Sunday crowds streamed in and out." Cincinnati is an intensely republican city. The republican majority at the last election was over ten thousand. Every department of the city government is in republican bands. All the officers charged with the administration of the Owen law are republicans. And yet, as the Journal admits, this law is a dead letter in Cincinnati. In the democratic cities of Ohio the Owen law, like other laws, is enforced. It is only in the republican stronghold of Cincinnati that it is openly defied and contemptuously trampled upon. We hear a good deal from republican newspapers and politicians to the effect that the republican party is the party of law and order. They also have a good deal to say about democratic sympathy with lawlessness.. We should like to have them, if they can, point to a democratic community which presents such a spectacle of lawlessness as is to be witnessed every Sunday in the republican stronghold of Cincinnati. How superlatively hypocritical and disgustinc do republican pretensions to superior decency, morality and regard for law appear in the face of the record which the republican administration in Cincinnati is making for itself! Improvements in "The Sentinel.' A new feature is about to be introduced in The Sentinel which will, we have no doubt, increase very largely its already great popularity. We have added to our staff a talented artist, and provided a complete mechanical outfit, for the purpose of illustrating all important articles that appear in these columns. The most important and successful newspapers of the country are now profusely illustrated. It adds not a little to the value and interest of news and descriptive matter to illustrate its salient features. The process of making newspaper pictures has been vastly improved during the last year or two. By employing the most approved methods, splendid results are now obtained. The system which The Sentinel has adopted is used by many of the leading newspapers in America. By this system accurate pictures can le produced in an astonishingly short time. With its new equipment The Sentinel will bo prepared to illustrate very fully and faithfully all passing events of importance, either in Indianapolis or elsewhere. A specialty will le made of illustrations in our Sunday issue, which will be introduced - in connection with descriptive and special articles of all kinds. We think the people of Indiana will be more than pleased with this new feature of The Sentinel. We may add that other improvements not less important are in contemplation. The Sentinel is universally pronounced a very good paper now, but we intend to keep making it better all the time. Allen G. Thurinan Unmasked. It's ju6t as we expected. Tiurjiak has been exposed. His nomination for the vice-presidency has already caused him to be shown up in his true colors. He has been posing all these years as a statesman, a patriot and an honest man. And yet it apjears that more than a quarter of a century ago he was guilty of such deeds as should bring the blush of shame, even now, to his aged cheeks, and cause the American people to execrate his very name! It i8 FORAKER FORAKER of Ohio -who has uncovered the Thurman villainy. He tells the shocking story in a .very few words, but with a simplicity and directness that leave no room to doubt its truth. Although he doesn't vouch for it himself, he expresses his fall belief in it, and says that "many" at Columbus "accept it." Here it is, word for word, as Foraker gave it to a reporter: It is a matter of common report, and accepted by many, including myself, though I was not hereto positively know it, that Judge THÜRmax and all his family carried delicacies to confederate prisoners while locked tip at Camp Chaj-e, three or four miles from here, during the war. The 6tory, unfortunately, is true. Indeed Judge Tii'Jkman himself admits it. Ho coolly confesses that he was instrumental in relieving the wants of sick and suffering prisoners of war. And the worst oi it all is that he expresses do contrition,

no remorse. Indeed he seems to glory in his shame. Here is what he says: I say bless them for calling attention to the confederate (soldier delicacies business. - I remember what a good Samaritan my wife was in those days. Gov. Dennison and Gov. Tod often spoke of the goodness of Mrs. TflCRMAX in distributing to the sick, forlorn and captive ones fruit and fresh things. Gov. Forakkb does not attack me when he mentions those incidents. He attacks Mary. We don't see anything for it but that Judge Thurman must withdraw from the democratic ticket. The American people can stand a good deal, but they draw the line on the man who sent, or allowed his wife to send, "fruit and fresh things" to "sick, forlorn and captive ones." At least Foraker does. Mr. Cleveland and the Veto Power. The Journal tho other day made a vicious attack upon President Cleveland for his use of the veto power. It declared that he had done far more in asserting and establishing the one man power in his single term than any other president had done in two. This, it said, was not because he was a stronger man than any of his predecessors, but because he was "naturally arbitrary, reckless in exerc ising authority and poorly informed as to tho distribution of powers on which the government is based." And then followed a grave disquisition upon the nature, objects and limitations of the veto power, together with some more or less relevant historical information. Among other things we were informed that "the framers of the constitution never intended that the veto power should be used" as Mr. Cleveland has used it. Now upon this subject, perhaps one of the leading framers of the constitution himself may be considered as good authority as the Journal writer. Especially may this be true, if he is no less a person than Alexander Hamilton, whose infallibility is an article of republican faith. "The power in question," wrote Hamilton in the FtderaJi.it, "not . only serves as a shield to the executive, but it furnishes an additional security against the enaction of improper laws. It establishes a salutary check upon tho legislative body, calculated to guard the community against the effects of faction, precipitancy or of any impute unfriendly to the public good which may happen to in fluence a majority of that body," Cooley says: "That the president has a discretionary power to veto a bill for any rea ton that appears to him sufficient, is undoubted. The constitution gives the power and makes no exceptions. When he does not approve a bill he is to withhold his approval ; and he may do so on grounds of mere expediency." Experience has demonstrated that there is little danger, in this country, from the veto power. A far greater danger exists in the propensity of the legislative to encroach upon and absorb the functions of co-ordinate branches of the government, and especially of the executive. No president in our history has shown a more jealous regard than Mr. Cleveland for the dignity and independence of the executive, or has perceived more clearly or defined more accurately the boundaries set by the constitution upon the powers of the several departments of government'. The Journal declares that "if he should be reelected there is reason to believe he would do more during his second term to obliterate constitutional lines and change established ideas of constitutional construction than any half dozen presidents we have had." This language implies that all our presidents have been more or less engaged in "obliterating constitutional lines" and "changing established ideas of constitutional construction." Certainly some of our republican presidents have done a good deal in this direction. But what Mr. Cleveland has done by his bold stand against senatorial usurpation, by his masterly exposition of the relations of the executive to the legislative, and by his intelligent, independent and courageous employment of the veto power has been to remind congress and the country sharply that ours is a government of checks and balances, and to arrest the tendency of the law-making branch to arrogate to itself functions that belong to other branches of the constitution. His veto record is unassailable upon any constitutional or public ground. Pat Ford Bloviates. Tat Ford's heart is cast down. Pat Ford is the editor of the Irih World of New York, and is a victim of the delusion that be carries a large part of the Irish vote in his trousers pocket. He took a contract to deliver that vote to Blaink in 18S4, and is prepared to take a similar contract this year. But Blaine's refusal to be a candidate has completely unnerved him, and he declares that if the Chicago convention does not ignore Blaine's declination and make him its candidate, "it will be a black day for the republican party." He adds: I have no advice to offer cither to the readers of the Jrkh World or any one else. I simply record my opinion that, without BlainK as the standard-bearer and champion of our cause, defeat seems inevitable. It looks now as if it would be a go-as-you-please game at Chicago, and that Folly and Selfishness would have it all their own way. In that event I shall remain independent of either party during the campaign. Pat's a "Blainc-or-buster." He is also a good deal of a humbug. The Irish voters of the country kntw him and few of them trust him. He is a mercenary adventurer in politics, and if he "remains independent" during tho campaign it will be only liecause neither of the great parties bids high enough for his support. His championship of either ticket will lose it more votes than it will attract. Whatever Pat does, it is to be hoped he will not come out for Cleveland and Thurm ax.

Bright Prospects in Indiana. Tho campaign opens auspiciously for the democrats in Indiana. The nominations for president and vice-president aro immensely popular, not only with "straight democrats," but with the peoplo generally. The democratic platform, with its ringing demand for the repeal of monopoly taxes, is entirely in accord with the predominating sentiment of Indiana. The democratic state ticket, headed by two gallant soldiers, is admitted to bo strong at every point The democratic nominations for congress, so far ns made, are, without exception, excellent. Altogether the democratic party of Indiana never entered a presidential campaign in better form or with more encouraging prospects. Our friends tho enemy, on tho other hand, are divided and demoralized. Tho contest letween Grksham and Harrison for the presidential nomination ha tplit tho rarl lato factions

which are fighting each other with great bitterness. The tactics employed by the Slick Six in the interest of Gen. Harrison's candidacy have aroused intense intense indignation among republicans all over the state. From Fort Wayne, from Evansville, from Terre Haute, from Delphi, and from other important centers, republican curses, not only loud but deep, are hurled at the Harrison managers for the disreputable methods the have employed to throttle the Gresham sentiment of the state. The course of the Indianapolis Journal has exasperated Judge Gresiiam's friends beyond measure. They are also highly incensed at the impertinent interference of Carr, Michener and Griffin in the selection of district delegates to Chicago, and threaten to bolt the state ticket in the event that these worthies are renominated. The republican state committee has postponed the state convention until August, in the vain hope that these dissensions in the ranks may be healed in tho meantime. But if Harrison should be nominated at Chicago for either place on the ticket, the prospect is that August w ill find the g. o. p. in Indiana more seriously demoralized even than it is to-day. It has been disrupted by Slick Sixism, and its redintegration this year seems to be out of the question. "We look for a democratic majority of at least 15,000 in Indiana next November. The Sentinel olHce is now lighted with electricity, from basement to roof. The incandescent lirrhts of the Indianapolis Jenny company have been introduced in all parts of the building and are giving the

best of satisfaction. The Sentinel be lieves in having the best of everything, and its general equipment now includes about all the "modern improvements" which can be employed to advantage in a newspaper establishment. With natural gas, electric lights, a Hoe perfecting press, a complete stereotyping and picture making outfit, telegraph wires running directly into the office, telephones, etc., etc., The Sentinel possesses about all the advantages that are enjoved by any metro politan newspaper anywhere. TnE Sentinel, in short, is "booming." Ex-Gov. St. John, who was in Oregon during the recent campaign, says the tariff question had little to do with the result. "The republican party owes its triumph," he says, "to the hearty support given it by the railway monopolies and the rum power. It had earned this support in advance, and was not disappointed when its hour of necessity came." The republican party in Oregon, it seems, is, like the republican party elsewhere, in league with monopoly, and monopoly rules the state, as it does the entire Pacific slope. It is just as natural that Oregon should vote against the democracy on current issues as it is that Pennsylvania should do so. But the people ot tho f lope may come to their senses before November. Fendi.etox, the Worcester (Mass.) minister who told lies about Mrs. Cleveland to a reporter, and got "sick" when he saw them in print, has written an abject letter of apology to the president. Pendleton says he heard the stories while he was at Washington attending the convention, and accepted theiwithout making any effort to prove or disprove them. He asks the president's pardon for having thoughtlessly been made the vehicle for their circulation, and announces that he shall vote for Cleveland in November. Pendleton, it appears, has some sense of decency about him, in which respect he has the advantage of Ball, the clerical filth-monger who did dirty work for the republicans four years ago. It turns out that the principal cause of the democratic defeat in Oregon was the president's pocket veto of the river and harbor bill. That bill carried a big appropriation for the improvement of the Columbia river, which every citizen of Oregon believes is necessary to boom his state. The president's objection was not to that appropriation, but to scores of others which were unnecessary or extravagant. He let the bill fail because he couldn't conscientiously approve these wrongful expenditures of the public money. As the Brookl)'n Kagle remarks: "For every vote that his courageous act caused him to lose in Oregon he will gain ten votes in communities disinterested enough to appreciate his firmness and independence." The chief obstacle to Gresham's nomination at Chicago is Jay Gocld's hostility. The republican party would not dare to nominate a man for president to whom Jay Gould was opposed. There is nothing about Ben H arrison, however, to which Gould can take exception. 11c is the kind of a statesman the Wall-st. .pirate admires, and the latter would undoubtedly like to see him in the White-house. The New York Tribune disclaims any knowledge of or responsibility for the scandalous attack on the president and Mrs. Cleveland recently circulated at St. Louis. The Tribune is entitled to the benefit of its denial, although its habitual attitude toward the president is not much more decent than that of the St. Louis blackguard. That amiable political idiot, Tom Browne of Indiana, says the Mills bill is "nothing." AVhy then should the republican party kick so vigorously against it? The Fort Wayne Gazette pronounces Auditor Bruck Carr an "unmitigated ass." The supply of republican Harmony seems likely to hold out. PROMINENT PEOPLE. Tennyson is at 'work on a poem of some length.

The Tape-Worm Party. Chicago Globe, The cartoonists are already in the field, and are expending rare ingenuity in their efforts to reach the vulnerable points in the harness of their adversaries. One cartoon just issued in Chicago i, beyond doubt, one of the most effective and elaborate of anything of the kind. It is a man of the United States and territories, over which is coiled an enormous tape-worm that represents the republican party. It is so coiled about that it touches some portion of every state and the territories, indicating the reach of the party. The head of the worm is Blaine, and is located in Maine. It is a jointed worm, and on each joint is printed something having reference to .the acts of the republican party, or what the worm has swallowed. Among the labels appear such ns "Millions stolen by the whisky ring," "Credit Mobilier steal," "Salary steal," "Protected sugar and free tobacco," "Postal frauds," and, in brief, all the principal thefts and swindles of the republicans while in power the things swallowed by the voracious republican tae-worm. This cartoon, the product of some Chicago genius, places before the eye, at a single glance, the entire iniquitous history of republican misrule. It presents a name, that of the tapeworm party, w hich is exactly appropriate to the party to which it is applied and characteristic of its relations to the country. Its enormous swallowing capacity can not be so well expressed by any other name. The Shame f It. Boston Herald. Is there a mother or sister who bad a son or a brother captured in the war of the rebellion but thinks of the comfort it would have been to know that some womanly heart was throbbing in pity for him in the South, and some womanly hand extended for his comfort. There Mas a lovely lady in Ohio who did this good deed for captives who were destitute, sick and friendless, from the Southern army. And now, when more than twenty years have passed, and passion has had time to die out, even to leaving no trace of its embers, there is a public ( man in Ohio mean enough to reproach this lady for striving to mitigate the sufferings of the unfortunate captives of war. Politics pull men down to the basest acts, but it would not be easy to point elsewhere to a degradation quite so disgusting as this.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

DEMOCRATS. HOPEFUL AND HAPPY. Sagacious Republicans at Washing-ton Take Gloomy View of the Future Relations ot the Two Parties to Jthe Tariff Question. Washington, June 14. Special. The delgates from the St. Louis convention returning home via Washington have been visiting the department, calling on the president and heads of departments for several days past giving their views and making their prophecies. I have not seen one who was not entirely satisfied with the ticket and platform. The California men w ho claim the honor of nandng the vice-president are more than happy. I met with one of the delegates yesterday who said now he had but litttle doubt of California. It "was a grain and fruit state and interested in tariff reform, and its people were devoted to the man who was the champion of the antiChinese legislation, and waa on the Eide of the laboring men of California. Nearly all the members of congress who attended the convention are back again at their posts of duty. The Indiana men who wanted Gray for vice-president, naturally feel somewhat disappointed, but not one of them is disposed to sulk. Indeed, all the Indianians in Washington, whether in or out of office, are satisfied, and will enthusiastically support the ticket. Friday's Journal contained an interview with an Indiana member who was not, as I believe, correctly reported. I don't believe any member of congress who is a democrat believes, much less would say, that Matson is as good as beaten already. That sentiment certainly does not reflect the views of any democratic member I have conversed with, and I have talked with all who are iu the city. On the contrary, every democratio member says the tieket öi Cleveland and lhunnaa will carry Indiana, and that the election of the state tieket is a ioregone conclusion. Gray has many friends wno wanted him nonored with the nomination, but they are not the kind that want to see a republican elected vice-president. So much for the echoes of the last convention It is the next convention that is attracting imb ue attention now. lhe republican leaders are all at sea and don't know which way the wind will finally blow. They twitted the democrats because they had but one choice, unmindful of tne lact mat out ot 6o many names they hate no choice, and that the nomination is just as Jikeiy to go to a weak as to a strong man. What the result of the Chicago convention w ill be, so far as the candidates are concerned, no one Knows, isoss natt has been in ashington trying to arrange a slate, with what success I don't know. One thing is very true, the republicans cannot nominate a man who will win, a?d of that they are fully aware them6clve' e the knowing ones. One programme was told me a few evenings ago by one who is or pretends to be on the inside, and that is, to make such a ticket as will capture New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana and let New York go. My informant said republicans had no thought or expectation of carrying New York, and had made up their minds to elect without it. Who is the man who will carrv the three states named is the question asked now. About the gencrnlship oi" such a campaign, which abandons its strongest and best lortitication, I have nothing to say. It is for the leaders to explain such a programme as best they can. For a few days after the Oregon election the republicans were in high feather. When the election returns were analyzed, however, and the fact became known that the Oregon steamship company and the Northern Pacific railroad, with all its power and thousands of railroad employes, had been worked for all they w ere worth, the fact begins to dawn upon them that in November they could not spread that force over the whole United States, hence in the next five months something else would be required than hoarse shouting over a state owned by a railroadand steamship company. Seriously, republicans do not expect to elect They will play their cards hoping for a lucky turn, but that is all. If, however, the name of the successful candidate is yet unknown, there is one thing that is not unknown, and that is the platform. That will be neither one nor the other. In 1884 they declared for a revision of the tariff; they will so declare again, but in such a way that no man will fail to understand or know their meaning, and it w ill be more taxation, and no relief, except by spending the people's money on party favorites. That is their position pure and simple. If they are honest in Chicago their platform will be: "Besolved, That the best way to promote the happiness ami welfare of the people is to tax , them, and take their money away from them, apd spend it for the benefit of the monopolist, who will in turn furnish us means wherewith to corrupt mankind and debauch the ballotbox." I am entirely warranted in thus stating the republican position. For five months, or ever since congress assembled, they have played the part of obstructionists. Admitting in their speeches and writings early in the session that taxation should be reduced, they adopted the cry of free trade as a rallying cry, and stigmatized every man who proposed to lessen the burdens of the people as a free trader. Persistently they cry that a taxation of 40 per cent, is free trade. They ought to explain that free trade means no taxes. But they propose nothing, they suggest nothing; do nothing but make mouths and sneer. Heed of Maine, who, in his long congressional career has made no mark, has no legislative ability or reputation save that of a snarling, fault-finding scold, is their champion. He, on the ways and means committee, proposes nothing. But they have a programme though they don't often tell it, or speak of it. It is to regain power by fair means or foul, immediately abolish the internal revenue system, take the tax off whisky and heap it up on every necessity of life. Indeed a republican member of conercss said to me not long ago, in speaking of the president's message, and its effect on the country, that the republican party made a great mictake in the Forty-ceventh congress in not abolishing the w hole internal revenue svstem and taking the tax off of w hisky and tobacco, that the people would not have liked it, but it wonld have been law and they could not have helped themselves, and the question of a tariff revision would have been out of the w ay. Whatever may be 6aid or done next week at Chicago, that is the key to the whole situation. Blind the eyes of the voters by shouting free trade, talk loudly about proper revision of the tariff, and when once more comfortably fixed in power make laws to still further oppress the taxpayers now living, ami mortgaging their earnings and those of their descendants yet unborn. W, Indifferent Hut Not Impolite. St. Louis Republican, The utter indifference shown by the recent convention to "Woman's Bights' cannot be correctly attributed to a lack of politeness. The convention strained courtesy in giving the privileges of the floor to au outsider, who. as it knew, would tell it nothing it had not heard repr : My beforehand. It might well have list.-.- .t more closely, but all w ho have had nny experience with very large Catherines know U is impossible to induce them to feign an attention they do not foci. The St. Louis convention wna a represen t itive body, if there ever was one, and its indif.crence to what some few earnest and well-meaning people regard as gross and unjust discriminations on account of sex, reflects the indifference of the country. Indifference is not heartlessness, but to "a cause" it is more cruel than heartlessness. ' Consumption Cnred. An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an Bast India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the jcedy and permanent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh. Asthma and all Throat and Lung affections, also a positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility and nil nervous complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive and a desire to relieve human suffering, I w ill send, free of charge, to nil who desire it, this recipe in German, French or Knglidi, with full directions for preparing and using. Sent by mail by addressing, w ith stamp, naming this paper, W.A. Noyes, 14'J Power's Block, Bockester, N.-V. Will Trobably Dodge It. Chicago New lu'd. It remains to be seen if the republican party will accept the ismie of revenue reform without free trade thus bcldly professed.

The great popularity of Ayer's Hair Vigor is due to the fact that it cleanses the scalp, promotes tho growth of the hair, prevents it from falling out, and gives it that soft and silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty. Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass., a gentleman fifty years of age, was fast losing his hair, and what remained was growing gray. After trying various dressings with no effect, he commenced the uso of Ayer's Hair Vigor. "It stopped the falling out," he writes; "and, to my great surprise, converted my white hair (without staining ths scalp) to the same shade of broven it had when I was 25 years of age." Ten Years Younger. Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston, writes: "For years, I was compelled to wear a dress cap to conceal a bald spot on the crown of my head ; but now I gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair Vigor is bringing out a new growth. I could hardly trust my senses when I first found my hair growing ; but thero it is, and I am delighted, i look ten years younger." A similar result attended the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor by Mrs. O. O. Trcscott, of Charlestown, Mass., Miss Bessie II. Bedloe, of Burlington, Vt., Mrs. J. J. Burton, oi Bangor, Me., and numerous others. The loss of hair may be owing to impurity of the blood or derangement of the stomach and Iiverr in which case, a course of Aj-er's Saxsaparilla or of Ayer's Pills, in connection with the Visor, may be necessary to give health and tone to all the functions of the body. At the same time, it cannot be too strongly urgd that none of these remedies can do much good without a persevering trial and strict attention to cleanly and temperate habits.
