From LaGrippe. How Dr. Miles' Nervine Restored One of Kentucky's Business j Men to Health. ( ^ , Inili ’

No DISEASE has ever presented so many peculiarities as LaGrippe. No disease leaves its victims so debilitated, useless, sleepless, nerveless, as LaGrippe. Mr. D. W. Hilton, state agentof the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, says: “In 1869 and *90 I had two severe attacks of LaGrippe, the last one attacking my nervous system with such severity that my life was despaired of. I had not slept for more than two months except by the use of narcotics that stupefied me, but gave me no rest. I was only conscious of Intense mental weakness, agonizing bodily pain and the fact that I was hourly growing weaker. When in this condition, I commenced using Dr. Miles* Restorative Nervine. In two days I began to improve and in one month's time I was cured, much to the surprise of all who knew of my condition. I have betn in excellent health since and have recommended your remedies to many of my friends." Louisville, Jan. 22,1S95. D. W. Hilton. Dr. Miles’ Nervine Restores Health.

WORK FOR CONGRESS, NOW THE OEMOCRAT8 MAY RETRIEVE THEIR POSITION. A Sound Financial Measure Will Do Much to Restore Public Confidence—Good Acts ot the Last Session—Stop Fooling and Get In Shape For 18M.

Foqx yean ago the second session of the Fifty-first congress met with a Republican president, a Republican senate and a Republican house, presided over by Mr. Reed of Maine. The first session of that congress had wasted more than $100,000,000 of surplus, fastened scores of millions of permanent new charges upon the government, reduced the revenues while increasing the taxes on many of the necessaries of life, and the people had just condemned the party in power less than one month before by over 1,000,000 majority. Of the entire new congress then just elected the Republicans were 6uooessful in only 88 districts of the Union. The Republicans, under the lead of Reed, gave little heed to the admonition administered to them in thunder tones, and the result was a second defeat of the Republican party in 1892 by an overwhelming vote. The Democrats, like the Republicans four years ago, come back to their duties defeated by more than 1,000,000 popular majority, and with only 104 members of congress saved from the wreck, instead of the 80 majority the party has in the present bouse. The Republicans squandered more than $100,000,000 of money by the most profligate legislation and piled up against the government many more millions of permanent expenditures. The Democrats of the last session did not oommit that folly, in fact it would have been impossible, with a president of Cleveland’s stubborn integrity, to have passed successfully any profligate measures. The last session of congress has many good acts to its credit It repealed the silver purchase law, which was purely a Republican measure, and that threatened to overthrow the credit of the nation. It repealed the federal election law, and thus ended federal interference in the local elections of the states, and it gave the nation the best tariff bill that has been enacted since the close of the war. It also halted the unconditional repeal of the tax that hinders the issue of irresponsible money by state banks, and thus saved the nation from a cyclone of financial disturbance. The Democrats of the present congress have a brief time in which to retrieve their fallen fortunes. They can do it only by deciding to stop fooling and go to work. Beyond passing the necessary appropriation bills there is but one measure of supreme public importance, and it gives the Democrats a great opportunity to regain in some measure at least the popular confidence they have forfeited. They should pass a sound financial measure, one that will give the people ample money, fully secured by national laws, whether issued by state or national banks, nnd our present confused system of national currency Should be retired. If the Democrats of this session 6hall pass such a measure, they would largely regain the confidence they have lost and make it possible for them to get into shape for a hopeful battle in 1896. If they shall fail to do so, the next president mar be a Republican unless the new Republican house under the rule of Speaker Reed shall again plunge the party into chaos. Stop fooling and go to work.—Philadelphia Times.

Mr. Holman’s Forecast. Representative Holman declares, with a confidence that does credit to his patriotism and discernment, that the principles of the Democratic party are imperishable, and that they will still survive when other parties shall have faded from memory. Of the Republican party he prophesies with equal confidence that it has fulfilled its mission; that the popular drift is away from high tariff, and that with “the wiping out of this issue the Republican party will have no further excuse for living.” Mr. Holman is such an old fashoined, rock ribbed, dyed in the wool Democrat that his predilections may bethought by some to color his judgment. Yet it will be remembered that in an interview lstsf spring he predicted “that if congress did not adjourn by the 1st of June it, would be bad for the Democratic party. ” This hit earned him a reputable status as a political prophet which gives much interest and no little weight to his latest forecast.—Philadelphia Record. _- Will McKinley Flicker? There seems to be danger that Mr. McKinley may flicker on his own law, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Murat Halstead now declares that there is no rp*u in the country whose mind is more susceptible to tariff impressions and more frankly assimilates information from current history than Governor McKinley. The governor’s susceptibility to tariff impressions has caused a greatdeal of loss to American consumers, and it inay be well for him to assimilate the information that soihe of his rivals for the presidential nomination are professing to disapprove the extremes of what is called McKinleyism. Reed Will Be In Close Quarters. The historic gentleman who allowed himself to be caughxbetween the devil and the deep sea presented no more pitiful spectacle than will Tom Reed next year hesitating betwixt his duty to the Republican majority in congress and his fealty to his presidential boom. There will be a do nothing congress until the presidential election of 1896 Is settled.—Chicago Times. Senatorial Timber In Barrels. Since Addieks’ advent many in Delaware are said to think that staving senatorial timber may be found in a barrel —Philadelphia Times.

LTW'T. COMPLETE SURRENDER.

B«p«btlewa Chaate Th*ir View* lUgwOln( Federal Elec Men Laws. No more complete surrender of a long defended position was ever known than that which the Republicans are now making regarding rforoe bills, federal election laws and the old sectional issue generally. Congressman Walker i of Massachusetts, who claims to know the sentiment of the Republican party upon this question as well as any Republican in congress, declares that | "there will not be three men in the Fifty-fourth congress (and I do not believe there will be one) who will any sooner propose to enact any kind of a : national election law than they would propose to put the national troops at the points in the southern states from which they were removed by President Hayes in 1877." Yet it is only a little more than three years since the solid Republican vote in the house of representatives was cast for such a law, and it only failed of enactment by a free silver intrigue in the senate "Every sensible man, north and south, and as fully in the Republican party as in the Democratic party,” says Mr. Walker, "is today of the opinion that any attempt at interference with elections anywhere by the national government furnishes not only the excuse, but the means, through its machinery, of defeating the will of the people at every point where the power of the national government is called into requisition, whether it is called in really or only ostensibly to secure honest voting and honest counting. ” This is precisely what the Democrats always maintained, but what the Republicans for 30 years disputed. Who would have believed^ in 1890-1 that by 1894 the whoie Republican party would be ready to admit that the force bill policy was utterly indefensible?—New York Post. DIFFERENTIAL SUGAR DUTY. Its Repeal Would Prevent the Trust From Cornering the Product. By refusing to consider the bills for free coal, iron ore and sugar at the present session/ the senate has adopted a mistaken policy. The bill repealing the differential duty on 6ogar ought to be passed in any event. That would not impair the revenue producing power erf ! the tariff bill, and it would serve as a i guarantee against an unjust and un- ; reasonable advance in the price of sugar. ! The statistics of the industry show that the labor cost of producing 100 pounds of refined sugar in this country is only 14 cents, while in Germany it is 43 cents, in France 38 cents, in England 34 cents and in Cuba S3 cents. The records of the American Sugar Refining company prove that at present prices and under existing conditions the trust can clear $23,000,000 a year by the operation of its mills. In the face of these facts it is the duty of the senate not to pass the free sugar bill, because that would deprive the treasury of needed revenue to the amount of $45,000,000 without correspondingly benefiting the people, but a bill which would cut off the differential duty and prevent the trust from cornerI ing the product and robbing tho con- [ earners, which it Will do immediately ! after the adjournment of the session. The Democratic senators ought to do their duty.—Kansas City Times.

Similar redactions all along the line. —New York World. A Lone Voice In the Wilderness. Representative Johnson, a Republican of North Dakota, has lifted his voice against the election of Mr. Thomas B. Reed as speaker of the house, but one voice crying in the wilderness will not avail. It would need a chorus, and even then Mr. Reed’s quorum trick might , easily outcount the chorus. No doubt I there is an undercurrent of opposition I to the Maine statesman in his own pari ty, born of jealousy and of the resent* ment inspired in fair minded men by his high handed course as speaker of the Fifty-first congress, but the sentiment will amount to nothing in the speakership fight, whatever influence it may have later in the presidential struggle. —Philadelphia Record. Turning McKinley Down. Alas for McEinley's pyrotechnio flights up and down, through and across the country a few weeks ago! It was all in vain. The process of turning him down goes forward in the Republican press and among the political managers, slowly, gradually, persistently, irreversibly, relentlessly to the end. As a presidential possibility McKinley is as dead as his tariff was the moment ten days had expired after the Wilscn-Gcar-»an bill was presented to the pre sident tor his signature.—Chicago Herr.Id. Abolish the Sugnr Differential. Mr. Cleveland’s motion that'the Sugar trust differential be relegated to innocuous desuetude shonld be promptly , seconded in congress.—St. Lonis PostI Dispatch. _ And the Presidency. Tom Reed wants a solid Republican lelegation from Illinois Tom also i fcouid like the earth.—Chicago Post K: ■ . . ' > •' - '~A
