A bnlliant Texas editor is credited with the following effueioa on the Almighty dollar: “The dollar is indeed almighty. It is the Archimediaa lever that lifts the ill-bred many into select society.and places the ignorant aaphead in the United States senate; it makes presidents of stuffed prophets, governors of intellectual geese, philosophers of fools, and gilds infamy with supernatural glory. It wrecks altars of innocence and pollutes the face of the people; j breaks the sword of justice and binds the I Goddess of Liberty with chains of gold. It, is the lord of the kud—the uncrowned king' of the commonwealth."

Z. Stannard of Jeffersonville if it had searched the state over. Mr. Standard is one of the leaders of the bar, of Southern Indiana. He is a gentleman of fine attainments and high personal character. Although a sturdy and consistent democrat, and a warm supporter of his party, be has never been a politician in the accepted sense of the term, lie has never been an office-seeker. In this case the office sought hitn, and it is with reluctance that be accepted the honor, not because of any doubt as to the election of the ticket, but because going on the bench involves the sacrifice of a lucrative practice. His selection is highly creditably to the demi - cratic state committee and adds great strength to the ticket.—- Indianapolis Sentinel.

Three Doctor* in CensulUtien. “When you are sick, what you like best , is to be chosen for a medicine in the first! place; what experience tells you best, to be ( chosen in the second place; what reason (i.e.. Theory) says it is best to be chosen in the last place. But if you can get Dr. j Inclination, Dr. Experience and Dr. Reason : to hold a consultation together, they will j give you the best advice that can be taken.1* 1 —From Benjamin Franklin. When yon hare a bad cold Dr. (nelina* 1 lion would recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy because it is pleasant and safe to take. Dr. Experience would recommend it because it never fails to effect a speedy and j permanent cure.

WASHINGTON LETTBMU Oar KcgBlnr C*mtp«i4«>t Sends In « BMtb nC News* Lawyers for the defense seldom tiring oat t »ny testimony against the accused. The members of tbe McKinley war investigate* commission—“The Alger relief eomraiedoo,” is what a local paper calls it—whs have put the questions to the witnesses who have so far testified may not consider them~ selves Secretary Alger’s lawyers, but if they were, their questions could not in the opinion of many unprejudiced persons have been more carefully prepared to prevent the giving of undesired evidence. Ono witness—Colonel Lee, who started to teH about some of the war department’s man* Ngement, in the matter of transportation, without being questioned upon the sabjeet. was at once called down and informed that the commission was not ready to enter that branch of the investigation. He took the hint and thereafter only answered such questions as were asked. General E. V. Boynton reiterated his theory that flies were responsible for so much sickness at

Camp Thomas, and another witness—a brigade surgeon—indorsed it. Instead of trying to find out, the commission appears to be trying not to find out anythiug derogatory to Secretary Alger’s management of the war department. It appears to desire oniy evidence that will be complimentary to the department. There is much sympathy expressed for Airs. McKinley, who left Washington for Canton, Ohio, Saturday night, to attend the funeral of her brother, who was kilted, supposedly by a jealous woman, Friday evening. She was to have started to the Omaha exposition today, with Mr. McKinley and a party of officials and their wives. The party went and will be joined at Canton by Air.' McKinley, but Mrs. McKinley will probably not go. The arrest of Senator Quay for conspiracy in connection with the failure of a Philadelphia bank, has been much talked about in Washington. Opinion is not unanimous us to whether Senator Quay is innocent or guilty of this particular charge, but aside from a few men who are under personal obligations to him, the tetters from Quay to the cashier of the bank, who committed suicide after ttye bank bad closed its doors, have added to the opinion long held by most persons who know his business habits that Quay is utterly unfitted to hold a seat in the United States Senate. Quay is, and has been for years, a regular stock gambler, and has never hesitated to make use of knowledge obtained in his official capacity to gamble in stocks for fiis own profit. Ha was one of the most prominent of the senatorial sugar speculators, wbbse operations shocked the country, and brought about an alleged investigation, white the tariff was under consideration by the senate finance committee. At the investigation Quay adopted bluffing methods; told the committee that he speculated in sugar or anything else whenever he wished to, and in effect asked w hat the committee was going to do about it. No real patriot will deny that the country will be better off if all such men as Quay were driven out of the senate and kept out. Nothing could show more encouragement for democrats in the congressional campaign than the fact that republicans acknowledge their fear of losing four out of the eieveu Iowa districts, now all represented by republicans. A gain of thirty seats is ail that is needed by the democrats to put the republicans in a minority in the next house, aud the prospects of getting them and many more, is very bright at this time. ExSenatou Blackburn of Kentucky, now in Washington, said: “The political outlook in Kentucky is as satisfactory as democrats could wish. Of the eleven congressional districts they will carry nine certainly, and of the remaining two there is more lhau an even chance of carrying one, the Louisville district. It seems to me that there is every reason to regard the condition of the democracy throughout the nation, with complacency, awl 1 believe that the gains made by the party in November, will be large in a majority of tne states."

Col. Phil Thompson, once a member of tifcn House from Kentucky, who spends much of his time in New York, has been telling his Washington friends about the campaign. He said: 4 ‘I believe that Judge VanWick will beat Col. Roosevelt, tor governor, by a heavy majority. There is an element in the republican party that doesn’t like Roosevelt and will secretly rejoice in hie downfall. He is cordially hated by the saloon keepers and their friends, for his course while polka* commissioner, and they will work like beavers to roll up the hallots for his opponent. Then, too, Judge VanWick is an amiable and upright man, with ix* blemish in bis record, and conservative people think he will make a far better executive than the brilliant, but rather impracticable rough rider. The strongest card, however, for the democrats, is the bad record of the republican state administration. The tax payers are op in arras over the canal improvement fraud, mid when they come to vote they are going to take a sure way of manifesting their displeasure with Gov. Blacks regime.*’ ▲ Short Sad Story. A Cold. • :j$lg Neglect. Pneumonia. Grief. Hail Foley’s Honey and Tar been used this story would have had a happier end*
