The -New York Sun, in celebrating the tbirthday anniversarxy oif Samuel J.

Mr. Pearson, a Republican member of congress from North Carolina, deserves respectful consideration.

Mr. Pearson, showing that he is imbued wi'th the itraditioniaJ courtesy of the South, closed his patrtbtilc remarks, and scorling of Tialbert by sayiing, "And now, Mr. Speaker, in the Wi-ndCst spirit, and as an evidence :thlat there is no ill feeling, I propose tWaJt oeiebraJted (and hospitable remark of the governor of North Carolina to the governor of Souith Carolina- as a fitting closing Islcene to 'this extrfaiorddnary inclldenit," (LaughIt or and applause by th'e (house).

a colossal betrayal of the American people, says t'he New York Sun. The siighit of a Quatndful of federal legislators se'iz'inig the country 'by the .tlhroat in 'tihe midst of p-eiculiajr difficulties, internal ainld iintemaitiionall, and detclaring that it must suTmiit to the reversal of a policy wlhich it has mailnitia.i'nied for years, may well fill thle sotoer port'iion of the oornmun'ilty with amazement, and with anxiety of the gravest sort. -®he popular wall, expressed clearly and emphatically, 'hai3 befen overturned by a few dictators iin the senate a is -arbitraTi'ly ais though they toad seized the government by force. It -ii3, iindieed, cailcula'tied 'to replace public conifid'einice with apprehensions as to safety atnid 'trustworthiness of our representative government.

Let us get at the -bOt'tom of this unwelcome conditiom Of our -affairs. Unfarfirmaitely, these silver buccaneers, worthy subjects as they are for general resentment and execrationi, iinsteald of being original tin their defiance of one of the most vital principles of our inF.ytuticns, are buit following a precedent g^iven to t'hiam .scarcely more thain two years ago. tSo short a tSme is it since President Cleveland, elected as the candidate of the Democratic party, undertook ito establish a pet principle of socialism, an 'income tax, abhorrent to t'he pleas which -the Democratic party has always professed, and upon which it had always ilnvited popular support. The income tax stood for revolution. There was not the shadow of authority for it. It had been positively rejected at t'he very election iLn wh'Bch Mr. Cleveland was chosen. The Populist -party, the free silver party, which favored it ami put it in its platform, has been swept out of sight. It was a cheat upon t'he public, square a.nd unqualified, calculated to shock tihe universal oanifld-ense in our financial responsibility more disastrously than the »in ver demons'tratlion in the senate.

Bnllt Railroads.

In 1863 Mt. McKeen, vjrith a keen perceiptiton of thle ifu-ture in store for his natiive state, co-nceiypdS the idea of ibui'ldiLmg, equipping and operating a line of railroad from the feast 'St. Louis bank of the iMississiippi river to the extern line of the state of Illinois. He effected an arraJngemient with the Penn* sylvanda Railroad, and soon had this section completed. He next olosed -the gap by Ibulidllng westward from Terre Haute, across this Wabash river, to the Indiana state line, and the splendid V-aln.dialia system soon -became one of the most efficiently managed lines of rail to 'the country. .Safety to passengers has even ibeen .the ch'ief care of the road, and there have "been scaircely any lawsuits for loss df life during Mr. McKeen's presidency of the Vandailia system, extending over a p-ertoid of -twenty-six years.

Mr. M-cKeon demands tihe strictest attention 'to the details of .business, and yet his hum'bleist employe can got his ear and a realdy acquiescence to right every wrong. Not only is Mr. McKeen kniown as the "Father of the Vandaliia," but he is the confidential friend and parental adv5lsed of his many subordinates.

Not a Politician.

iMr. McKeen has never held any pubIlte office of emolument, and has declined to allow 'hills name to go before conventions, even when the governorship of •the state was within his grasp. In 1862 he was maicfe one of the sinking fund oommiissdoners of the state of Indiana, a position that demanded a man of his peculiar commercial and flnamclal abfldity.

Mr. McKeen is, and always has been, a thorough (Republican", And has been a leader tn the councils of tha parry. He enjoys the personal and political acquaintance and friendship of thie active and influenitdal Statesmen, not only of Indiana, but of the nation. Firm in hlis belief anid views, and unswerving in his fealty to party, Mr. McKeen ever respects the opinions of those who differ with him on political problems. He belongs to the old school Of astute men who believe (iin th-s too frequently forgotten axiom that "silent^ is golden," on many occasions whan in^re pure wisdom is to be obtains I b^ listening than talking.

Has a Mind of His Own.

Mr. McKeen has an analytical mind. He (is not willing to accept the views of others on public questions until he 'has made a personal investigation and become satisfied of the correctness of the posffloin. He Is a plain, c-ld laahkned mam, practical aftd sensible, without ostentation or bluster. He has set up &s his -staind-aird, "Candor and Honesty."

Mr. McKeen devotes all his time and energy to Ms vast business interests, politics a wide'

Mr. MicKeen owns two 'fine stock farms not (far from Terre Haute. One is devoted chiefly to breeding and raising

cattle, the chO#SS®t cows in

the state, and the other £arm, less than two miles from (his ihome, is noted for its horses. He visits them often and is as oaretful of the wants otf the an.lmfa.l3 as he is of the men 'in hte employment.

OVERSTREET WANTS A LAKE.

Chairman Stephenson Has Promised to "Appropriate" Water For Tt. Speoial to the Indianapolis News.

Washing tan, Feb. 10.—Congressman Stephenson of Michigan fe a member of the rivers and harbors committee. He a devoted friend of Mr. OverStreet of In'diana. A few day® ago he approached th'e latter cocifldentially amd asked him what he would like to have itn the way of river and harbor improvements for hfis district. Mr. Overstriet looked thoughtful for a moment and replied: "There is only one thing that we are in. oeied of. My own oounty hasn't a single lake in

rrts

borders, while some

•either counties of the state have as many as twenty. Don't'you think you could secure an appropriation to dig a lake for us?" "I don't know," replied Sir. Stephenson, w?th a puzzled look, "but I will see what can be done." Mr. Stephenson had heard many stunn lng requests in the name of river and harbor improvements during his experience on the committee atnd,( while this one seemed •to surprise him,'he was at first inclined to treat it seriously. Mr. Overstreet noted this fact and every time he met Stephenson afterward he would urge hiim for a definite answer as to what Che rivers awd harbors committee proposed to do in regard to that lake. By and by.the faicit dawned on the Michigan congressman that he was the vie tim of a practical joke and, meeting Mr. Overstreet yesterday, he said: "The rivers and harbors committee has finally taken action iin regard 'to that lake. We have decided •that If the ditizens of your county will dig the lake we will appropriate enough waiter to fill it."

There Are Patent Medicines and Remedies, Without Number

For "Every Disease and Affliction But One. A prominent physician was recently asked, why it was that there are so many "blood purifiers," "nerve tonics" and remedies for every ill, except one of the most common and annoying, vis: piles. He replied, there are two principal reasons: first, physicians and people in general, have thought that the only permanent cure for piles was a surgical operation, that medicinal preparations w6re simply palliative. Another reason is, that piles is, in no sense of the word, an imaginary disease the sufferer from piles is very much aware of the fact, and for this reason, the few so-called pile salves, ointments, etc., have been short lived. The patient very soon discovered their inefficiency.

He says further, "fortunately however, there is a new remedy for piles, which Judging from its rapidly growing popularity will soon take the place of all other treatment it has certaialy made astonishing cures in this ebstdnate disease and its merit has made famous Among physician* and wherever i( has been introduced- This remedy is sold by all druggists under the name of Pyramid Pile Cure,
