The Ideal Paancea.

James L. Francis, Alderman, Chicago, says: “I regard Dr. King's New Discovery as an Ideal Panacea for coughs, colds, and lung complaints, having used it in my family for the last five years, to the exclusion of physician’s prescriptions or oth ;r preparations.” Rev. John Burgus, Keokuk, lowa, writes: “I have been a Minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church for 50 years or more, and have never found anything so beneficial, or that gave me such speedy relief as Dr, King's New Discovery.” Try this Ideal Cough Remedy now.

It is 440 miles from New York to Buffalo. The government pays the New York Central railroad $3,000 per mile for carrying the mail that distance. This is $1,320,000 per annum to that one road. Who doubts that the government could carry that for one-fourth the sum? Suppose it took three trains per day at the rate of 81 per mile per train. This would be but 8481,800 per year. Yet we see them receiving two and five-sevenths times this sum.—Rossvilie Journal.

Tuesday next the tomb and monument of Gen. Grant will be dedicated. The magnificent mausoleum at Riverside, on the outskirts of New York City, where the remains of the great captain, will henceforth be entombed, will be the center of nationai interest and the scene of one of the greatest gatherings of the famous men of this nation. The old world, or the new, contains no more noble a resting place for a nation’s hero than this, and every citizen of the land feels a sense of personal pride in this new proof that republics are not ungrateful.— Farm, Field and Fireside.

Spain is withdrawing her troops from Cuba. Various reasons for the step are given. Gen. Weyler says the revolution is at an end, but this will not be accepted as true by the men who are engaged in raising funds for the insurgents, and who declare that Gomez will carry forward the war until victory is won. Another reason given is that the government can no longer pay the soldiers in the field, and that they are going home to be discharged from the service. Spain’s are well understood and the latter reason is doubtless the correct one.— Ex.

Dear Bros: I have just received and read with great inter est “The Archer” for April. I am anxious to learn all about it. I am a People’s Party man, and while Ithink they have done lots toward awakening the old parties to their errors yet there is not the “relief” iu theP. P. that can be got at, that the poor hard working “every day man” needs-. If you have anything lets have it. I served in the last legislation of this state as senator from the Bth Sentorial District and I am confident that the People’s Party is the purest and feels the need of the suffering masses, but just how to get them has not yet been solved. Trusting that kind Providence may devise some plan in the near future and hoping that you have it, I am Very truly, G. L. Hardison. Sen. Bth, Dist., N. C.

The bill in the Illinois Legislature to create a board of pardon will undoubtedly pass, as, we believe, it ought to. Why put upon one man the responsibility of life and death? If the Governor is sympathetic, and exercises the pardoning power, he is called an anarchist and charged with trying to curry favor with the criminal classes; if he is hard hearted, or takes a conservative view of his right to over-ride the verdicts of courts and juries,' he is then attacked as without humane instincts. It is often too much of a burden to put upon a single man to decide whether a fellow-being shall live or die. The pardoning board can give ample time to the cases, and whatever its decisions may be, they do not become a public scandal or a scource of injury to the reputation of a high official. Unconditional surrender, is the only terms those famous little pills known as DeWitt’s Little Early Risers will make with constipation, sick headache and stomach troubles. A. F. Long’s.

A handful of disaffected persons at Lowell have purchased a press and outfit for a new paper, and with a young man named Hepp as editor, will attempt to do up Bro. Ragon, of the Tribune. Spite work never succeeds, and the citizens who are backing the enterprise will only have to live a few months to find this fact out. The first copy of the new paper will appear soon.—Crown Point Register.
