Secy We wish to call the attention of the voters to the importance of choosing delegates to the state and congressional conventions. who are men of sound judgment, and who will make it a point to be in attendance when those meetings are convened.

The much talked of and long delayed post office appointment has, at last, been settled by the selection of E. P. Honan. This, of course, is satisfactory to Mr. Honan and his friends, but not so pleasing to a couple of other gentlemen and their friends. Any of the three applicants would have been acceptable to us for they are all worthy men and well qualified for the place. With three candidates in the field, somebody had to be disappointed, and with two defeated, somebody, of course, will kick and squeal. The kickers will find advising and consoling friends in the Republican party who will encourage everything that can increase and prolong dissatisfaction, so into their ears they should pour their tale of woe. Four years ago when the appointment was left to a vote of the Republican patrons of the office the present efficient postmaster was elected squarely and fairly, yet some were mad and said he should never be confirmed, but he went in all the same and has filled the office with credit to himself and party. The same we predict for Mr. Honan.

Taxes are raised for the support of government. Governments are supported for the purpose of protecting persons and property. The wealthy classes have more property to protect than the poor, hence, ought to pay more taxes. Under a tariff tax the rich man pays no more than the poor, but under an income tax he will. Therefore, an income tax is just and proper. There is no argument that can be brought against it that will not apply equally against a tariff tax. So far, only two objections have been raised against an income tax, «viz: that it will cause men to perjure themselves, and that it is class legislation. Well, the man who would swear to a lie to evade an income tax would certainly swear to an under valuation. to evade a tariff tax, and no man, who has one iota of respect for the truth, will deny that a protective tariff takes away from one class and gives to another. If it did not do that, there would be no protection in it. Webster’s dictionary says the “cuckoo’’ is a bird of the genus cuculus, and that the European variety builds no nest of its own, but lays its eggs in the nests of other birds. It is the European variety that just now so sorely afflicts this country. The other birds have become tired of building the nests only to be robbed of them, and have organized a gunning party to exterminate the pesky robbers. H. E. Taubeneek is captain of the party and he has in it .some of the finest “shots” on the continent. There are Peffer, Stewart, Allen, Simpson, Pence, and several others, who can stand in the Capitol at Washington and bring down whole coveys of the hated creatures clear across the continent. The mortality of the “cuckoo” will be something fearful to behold next November when CaptaimTaubeneck’s party begin to “beat the bush” in dead earnest.

The Toledo Blade has figured out that the fate of the Wilson bill is in the hands of the Populist Senators. It claims that all the Republicans and two Demo crats will oppose it. These, with the Populists, would defeat it. The Populists have laid down the terms on which they will vote for the bill, and that is, that the income tax be retained a part of it. So it seems that if we are to have any change in the “robber tariff,” we will also have an income tax. Hurrah! for the Populists.

Many Democrats would like to know why Mr. Bland moved to adjourn the first time he got a quorum in sight, after spending a week to get one,

Some Proverbs of Solomon.

“The king, by judgment, establisheth the land; but he that receiveth gifts (boodle) overthroweth it.” “There is a generation (the gold bug), whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.”

End of the World.

It is now figured out plainly that our planet will die a natural death in 20,000,000 years. Its death will be the consequence of the gradual extinction of the sun. With the assurance of twenty million years more of time at its disposal, the senatethinks there should be no hasty action on the tariff bill.

We have heard that one Populist over in Newton county has gone back to the Republicans. This is the fourth time he has joined that party in ten years. The other changes were to the Prohibitionists and Union Labor. He is accurately described by King Solomon as, “As the dog returneth to his vomit, or the sow to her wallow, so returneth the fool to his folly.”

At the extra session of Congress last fall, Voorhees and his followers said to the silver mem bers, “Repeal the Sherman lav and thus clear the decks for action at the regular session.’ Well, the Sherman law was re pealed, the decks were “cleared for action,” and they acted; acted “thedamphool, generally.’

Safe Pence weilds a longrange, double-barreled gun, and he always keeps it loaded “clean up to the nozzle.” When hi puts his gun to his shoulder look out for feathers, for he will bring down a cuckoo at every fire.

If anybody still had hopes ol silver legislation by either of the old parties, the fight over the seigniorage bill ought tc convince him of the groundlessness of such a hope.

FROM WASHINGTON.

In Interesting Batch of Ncw< From the Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Mar. 6, ’94. Silver is on top in the Senate. It got there by a series of moves that were as surprising to many Senators as to the outsiders, but having gotten there the silver Senators express confidence in being able to keep it there until the Bland bill for the coinage of the seigniorage is passed, and some of them say that a substitute providing for free coinage may be put through in its place. The first of these moves was made by a caucus of Republican Senators, which determined to get the Bland bill before the Senate, and to keep it there for two months, in order to delay the consideration of the tariff bill. Senator Stewart made the next move by preventing the Bland bill being referred to the Finance committee. This put the Democratic leaders in a hole and after a day’s consultation they concluded that the best way to block the game of their political opponents was to go them one better by not only agreeing to the immediate consideration of the Bland bill, but by pushing it through before the tariff bill gets before the Senate; and, as a matter of fact, the bill was in an ace of being passed Wednesday afternoon. The silver men are all well pleased with the situation.

The Finance committee is still hanging on to the tariff bill, and the fight for changes therein is not yet over, although the committee will make no more. .

The House is as jealous of any invasion of the prerogatives of its members as the Senate, although it does not do much talking about it. This was shown

by its adoption of a resolution declaring the appointment of a cadet at Annapolis from Alabama, by Secretary Herbert, to a vacancy belonging to the Fifth South Carolina Congressional district, to have been unauthorized and void. As there are several members of the present House who have had similar experiences with some of Secretary Herbert’s predecessors it will not be surprising if a bill be passed making such appointments impossible in the future.

The House passed without objection the resolution for the investigation of the restraining order issued by Judge Jenkins in connection with the right of employes of U. P. Railroad to strike against a schedule of wages proposed by the receivers of the road, which was reported' by the Judiciary committee. Representative Somers, of Wis., tried to get the committee to include the names of all other judges who had issued similar orders, but the committee declined on the plea that it would make the investigation endless. The opinion appears to be general that it is going to be useless, anyway.

If the Senate is not on the eve of one of the greatest scandals in its history somebody ought to be sent to jail for criminally libelling four or five Senators, by charging them with so manipulating the information given out from time to time concerning what disposition the Finance committee would make of the sugar schedule of the Wilson tariff bill. These charges have been made in a vague sort of way over since the bill has been in the hands of the committee, but since the jump in the price of sugar that followed the visit to Washington of the president of the sugar trust they have been boldly made, even to the extent of giving the amount made by one of these Senators on the day of the jump in the price of sugar. Honest men, both in and out of the Senate, are beginning to talk of an investigation to establish the truth or falsity of these charges. If there are men in the Senate who are willing to make use of their positions to speculate on information known only to them the public has a right to know who they are. Two of the Senators—Vest, of Mo., and McPherson, of N. J. — whose names have been connected with these charges have made personal explanations on the floor of the Senate. Mr. McPherson said that his brokers did purchase 1,000 shares of sugar stock for him, but that it was done upon an order given months ago, and that as soon as he was informed of the purchase he directed that the stock be sold and no more bought for him. Mr. Vest denied having speculated at all.

This is the way Jerry Simpson sizes up the political situation: “Mr. Cleveland has done more in a year toward breaking up the old, conservative Democratic party than everything that has been done for the last thirty years put together. It appears to me to be almost an intervention of Providence in behalf of the People’s party, because it was necessary to clear away the rubbish to make room for a new structure. Mr. Cleveland, by either his honesty or obstinacy, has succeeded in disorganizing the Democratic party to such an extent that they are not agreed on any proposition to-day; that they have new leaders on every measure they bring up, and that on all these measures from onethird to one-fourth of them break away from the party. The Presiden t can blame no one but himself, for he has set the shining example of being independent of his party.” Advertised letters: John A. Markwith, Chas. T. Mason, Mr. James Reese.

“Perhaps you would not think so, but a very large proportion of diseases in New York comes from carelessness about catchingcold,” says Dr. Syrus Edson. “It is such a simple thing and so common that very few people, unless it is a case of pneumonia, pay any attention to a cold. New York is one of the healthiest places on the Atlantic Coast and yet there are many cases of catarrh and consumption which have their origin in this neglect of the simplest precaution of every day life. The most sensible advice js, when you have one get rid of it as soon as possible. By all means do not neglect it.” Dr. Edson does not tell you how to cure a cold but we will. Take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It will relieve the lungs, aid .expectoration, open the secretions and soon effect a permanent cure. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Myer Druggist.
