JB fe what many a mother is looking for; something absolutely safe and reliable, that will disarm her terror of that dread rattling, strangling oough, so fearful to the mother, so fatal to the child. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is a croup cure that can be relied on. Thousands say so. Mbs. W. J. Dickson (“Stanford Eveteth") writes from Truro, N. S.:— “That terror of mothers, the startling, croupy cough, never alarmed me so long as 1 had a bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral in the house.” “We have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral ia our family for years. Once when our boy had a severe attack of croup, we thought that he would die. But we broke up the by using Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.” R. H. COX, PlaucheviUe, La.

Ah, yes, business is reviving*—down hiU.—Washington Advertiser. While the republican press throughout the country is abusing die democrats for advocating the free coinage of silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, and landing President McKinley on every pretest, it seems paradoxical to the democrats that tfc»e president furors bimetallism (by international agreement) and the republican press denounces 16 to 1 bimetallism as a democratic craze, if bimetallism has nothing to roodinmend it to jhe intelligent, whydoes McKinley desire it by international agreement? If it is bat! for the United States, it's bail for the world. If it is a gfHxl thing for all nations, it will prove a' good thing for us,—Jasper Herald. The failure of & niuolwr of Sew England shoe manufacturers shows that the temporary improvement hivught bv a big wheat crop in this country and a small one in other wheat growing countries is not all h has tieen cracked up lo be.—iluntingburg News. No republican in goad-standing will deny that prosperity is ben\ yet all classes at* scrambling for the almighty doliar to payout standing bills and moreoPcn scramble j m rain.

This law is a clear violation of the *t ate constitution which limits the term of! any office t<> four years. Th* thing for the . silver forces to do itj this matter is to select nominees for every one of these jxsitiousj and elect them.— Washington Democrat, j The meeting of the state democratic committee yesterday for organization brought together a large and euthu-ia-fie gathering of democrats from all over the -tale. Oaadidatne for the Several state i *tbi»*s were present in abundance. a signifi- ! not indication of the tsmfideited which is very where toil in a sweeping democratic! icfory next fall. The proceedings of tit** ^ onunjtbee were entirely harmonious. Mr. vlartin was re-elected chairman by acclama- 1 : tion, &-deserved compliment to a capable n*d aOk-ieiit. roan. The universal feeling was that the campaign should be mjtde on ihe ChigWgo platform and t*ii state issues, and that everybody who desired t<> act with the democratic party should be cordially welcomed, regardless of their |x>Ktu-al ittitude inthe past. The democratic party ..f Indiana was never more thoroughly united and never better prepared for a vigorous aotl successful camjaiigh than it ss today. — Induuiajwlis Sentinel. It is said the class of money lenders who loan money on furniture and jewelry are growing immensely rich in the Urge cities h»f winter. One man (Started in Chicago * it h a capital of one thousand dollars on*; year ago, who is now rated at $30,00Q. He owns a large second hand store where he disposes of the forfeited good* at a good price. This is what the republican party calls prosperity. One man grows rich at the exj crises of many hundreds of poor families who sell their furniture piece by pace for the netesaaries of life.— Portland Suu.

“God reign* and the republican party still lives” was Hanna's message to the president after bis election to the senate by the Ohio legislature last week. His Royal Giblets only pulled through by one vote it is manifested that the supreme being is not very well entrenched on his throne nor the republican.patty enjoying very good health. But Mark ha? said it.~Lagrange Democrat. If the silver forces of the country are thoroughly united they can win. That has been admitted by anti silver men. If th»* silver forces are not united, it will not be the fault of the men who are at the head of ] the national committee of the three parties , which advocated the free coinage of silver in the hast national cam|migDi—Decatur Democrat. Hanna has won the senatorsbip and the republican party has lost Ohio. If ibe republicans are satisfied, surely the democrats have oo cause to complain. Hanna's election has split the republican party in j the Buckeye state. There are thousands of republicans tired of boss rule and the gold standard and ready to subscribe to the articles of faith given out by Robert McKfeson, republican mayor of Cleveland and defeated candidate for senator.— Biufffou Banner. If Mr. McKinley is waiting for the effect of the proffered 1‘autonomy* to Cuba he need wait no longer. The insurgents have spurned it as a trick twice played and the ; loyalists in Havana have mobbed the news* | papers that dared to advocate it. Then [ they turned upon the resident Americans

ami.drove them to tbe United States consulate for protection. “Patience on the Monument” was a very irascible creature when compared with this forbearing president of ours.—Kokomo Dispatch. The oopton spinners of New England are playing a very appropriate role in the McKinley-Dingley prosperity show. One hundred twenty-five thousand laborers on a strike Iwcause they can't subsist on lower rages than the old scale is a prosperity, high-tariff lesson that will sink deep into the minds of the American voters. A bond issue is not unlikely, a split m the republican party is imminent, and as a result of 'tHe whole matter it would be no great surprise if tbe g. o. p. should incorporate a free silver plank in its next national platform.—Roekporl Democrat, When the republican party retires the greenbacks the people will retire the republican party. The facts that so few county p»l>ers, the ones that really represent the people, favor the plau shows that the republican party is far front united on any currency reform.—Newcastle Democrat. The remarkable harmony m the rdpublican party is visible to the naked eye; It is not necessary to go to Ohio for ottservauons.

Sot for Everything But if you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble you will find Swam(£koot just t!ie remedy you need. People are not apt to get anxious al>out their health soon enough If you are “not quite weir* or “half sick’’ have you ever thought that your kidneys may be the cause of your sickness? It is easy to tell by setting aside your urine for twenty-four hours; a sediment or : settling indicates an unhealthy condition ! of the kidneys. When urine stains linen | it is evidence of "kidney trouble. Too fre-! quent desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain I or dull ache in the back is also convincing | proof that the kidneys and bladder need ! doctoring. j There is satisfaction in knowing that the great remedy Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, fulfills every wish in reliering weak or; diseased kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root give new life and activity to the kidneys—the cause of trouble, but by treating the kulmys it acts as a tonic for the entire constitution. If you need a medicine you should have the beet. Sold by druggists, price fifty ceuts and one dollar, or by mentioning the Dkmocjiat and sending your address to Dr. Kilmer A Co., Binghamton, N.

WASHINGTON LETTER. » i Oar Kefular Correspondent, Sends In at Batch of News. Czar Reed has one commendable trait— frankness. When he learned that the commit lee on territories was inclined to favorably report bills for the admission of ; Arizona. New Mexico and Oklahoma as states, he told the members fiat footed that it was useless for them to do so, as he did not intend that tliose territories should be admitted, so long- as he hail the power to prevent,and the present conditions continue to exist. He added thatk was simply a question of gold against silver, it being well known that each of^the territories named would send two silver men to the Senate, if they had the opportunity. The hot fight made for the recognition of Cuba by the democrats of the House, has frightened the whole administration outfit very badly. The fake news of Spanish successes in Cuba also indicate that the fright has extended to the Spaniards, The fight isn’t over yet. Representative Bailey proved ou the floor of the House that the efforts of the democrats were thwarted fur the time, only by a breach of faith ou the part of Czar Reed and Mr. Hitt. Senator White of California, who is leading the fight against the ratification of the annexation treaty, is so confident that the treaty cannot be ratified that be proposed to Senator Davis, who has charge of the treaty, that a day be set for taking the vote, and the proposition was declined. That little incident tells the story of the situation as well as it could be done in a column of space. The refusal of the House committee ou banking and currency, which has been holding daily sessions in order to hear everything that Secretary Gage, members of the monetary conference and other advocates of the single gold staudard, might have to present in the shape of a gold argument, to grant, hearings to representatives of the A tnericau bimetallic union, was ai> unprecedented and an uncalled for insult. The executive committee of the American bimetallic union sent a very manly and dignified protest to the committee, closing with the following appeal to the love of fail play that every properly constituted American has: ‘‘So far as we are aware, this is the first time that in a matter of so much importance,a great congressional committee engaged in giving hearings on a proposition before it, has refused to accord a full ano fair hearing to both sides.” In marked contrast to the action of the house banking and eurrvncy committee wa that of the silver senators, whose majority gives them the power to prolong the financial debate in the Senate, as long as th . might wish to do so, ou the Teller resol - tion, declaring l'. S. bonds to be payabh in silver at the option of the government. They merely desired to adopt that resolu lion, as a notice to tiie gold standard, administration that gold standard legislation i* an impossibility during the life of the present Congress, and to put certain senators on record for the benefit of their eon-1 stituenis, and in order to show that they had ho desire to unnecessarily prolong the financial debate, Senator Vest, who has. charge of the resolution, submitted an agreement that the vote be taken ouThurs day ol this week, which was adopted. The adoption of the resolution by the Senate is a certainty; the House will, of course, in inference to Czar Reed, allow it to be pigeon-holed. The republicans who started out to throw down some of the bars to the Federal offices, are up against a snag in the shape | of the inability of the House civil service t committee to agree upon a bill. To conceal | this difficulty and to gain time, the committee has started an indefinite series of j hearings, such as the Seimte committee has | been conducting off and on for mouths., It will lie lamentable if Mr. McKinley ! allows the scheming republican politicians ; to dictate the successor to Hon. Benjamin Butterworth. late commissioner oT patents, wiiose funeral last week, drew together so' many sorrowful public men. regardless of i fwlitics. Mr. Butterworth did the country a great and valuable service in reforming abuses in the practice .before the patent , office, and he was ably assisted in that work by Hon. A. P. Greeley, acting com

mtssioner of patents. Air. McKinley could | not .“how his sympathy with the reform work done by Mr. Butterworth in a more practical way, than by making Mr. Greeley commissioner of patents. The election of Senator White of California, to be chairman of the democratic congressional campaign coromittce^and the adoption of a strong resolution, endorsing the Chicago platform, ended the career of numerous very foolish fairy tales.
