Paints for Babies,

A baby was painted over its whole body
with Pain Paint; although five months old
it weighed third less than at its birth She
had constantly worried and cried, no one
could tell the cause. 1t had been treated
By physicians in vain. In three minutes
after pointing with Pain Paint it was quiet
and has received painting every day fol-
the last ten days by its mother. 1t is gain.
ing rapidly in flesh and spirits, and bids fair
to become a bouncing girl. Pain Paint re,
duces inflammation. removes pain instantly,
invigorates the whole system, removes the
bad effects produced by pills, mercury,
cayenne, turpentine, liniments, and the mar
cotic Influences of soothing syrups.
Pain Paint is sold at all drug stores at %
cents, so cents, 81 and IS bottle. Hun.

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That Schuyler COlfax, Radical Candidate fol
the Vice Presidency, is a Know Nothing.

1t should not be forgotten that Schuyler
CoIiax declared as follows:
at is needless for me to state my principles
You know what they are, and as | have adhered
to them in the past, SO will adhere to them in
the future"
Let it be remembered, that this is a
pledge to adhere to his know nothing princi,
pies Of the past as well as TO his despotic
principles OF the present In 1854 he solmn-
ly swore to do certain things if elected to
office and in 1868 he pledges himself to
keep that oath. What was it? Read it,
and learn the truth:
|, Schuyler Colfax, O! South Bend, in the
state Of Indiana, u natiye-bOrn citizen Of the
United States, and of protestant faith, in the
presence Of Almighty God aud these witnesses,
| DO s9Iemnly promise and swear that l will not
| vote, nor give my influence for any man, for any
| once IN the gift OF the people, unless he be an
! American born citizen, in favor of Americans
ruling America, nor if he DO Roman catholic.
In the presence OF Almighty God and these
| witnesses, DO solemnly and sincerely swenrthat
VIII when elected or appointed to any official
| station comforting on me the power to DO So re.
move all foreigners aliens, or Roman catholics
from office or place, and that will in no ease
appoint such to any Office or place in my gift.
There can be no doubt about it that he
has taken the oath not to vote for or support
for office a foreign born person or any one
who is Of the catholic religion. The follow.
lug from the Cincinnati Iolk$friead settles
the question.
Mr. McMastcrs, Of this city, yesterday handed
Us copy Of the Philadelphia Ere,ring Poet OF the
I'D OF June, 1893, which contains detailed re-
port OF the proceedings and platform of the north

The radical sheeep.skin Ku.Kluxes in In.
diana have commenced the business of mur.
denng democratic school masters. Near
Winnamsc, Pulaski county, the other day,
a train of hand.cars, on which a party Of
democrats had been to public meeting, was
thrown from the track by some leather apron
radical Ku-Kluxes, and o teacher, named
Klinger, was killed. In all ages, it has been
the habit of blind fanatics to assassinate the
teachers of truth. The iacobin Ku.klux

the ignorance and fanaticism of more bar.

New YORK, Sept, 22.-The Ku Klux are
said to have invaded New Jersey. For some
time mysterious warnings, with thesymbolic
words, Bloody Head and Coffin, have been
received by radical members of military

no notice was taken of them except as some
stupid Joke. On Sunday night, however,
Lieut.. Bynner of Co. IN New Jersey xiae

Official Vote of Oregon in 1866 and 1868.
HaRleY in Monmouth.

"Lord HawIey,' as be is familiarly known
in Rock Island, addressed the republicans At
Hardin's Hall, Thursday night Of last week.
His speech-If such it could be termed
was almost wholly low abuse about demo
Gratis, aud appeals to the worst passions Of
his hearers. Many Of them went TO hear a
fair discussion of the questions Of finance
and reconstruction, the voters are called up
on TO decide at the ballot.box. Instead Of
argument, rs a republican said to us, it was
nothing but abuse Of copperheads, and gross
Misrepresentation Of the history of the Coun.
try.
On the question of finance, he came out
Of the same hole he went in at, and his au.
dience were left in the fog as to his views on
that great question. The best answer to
HawIcy's financial argument we heard from
a republican who was present. He said
HawIcy should have LETT the finance part of
his speech to the last and then asked his nu.
dience to excuse him for want of time.
Hawley iudorsed the reconstruction inta'
my OF congress through and through-an-
nouuced himself in favor of keeping up a
standing army no matter at what cost to the
taxridden people-indorsed negro suffrage
without reservation, and declared that he
would rather see every man and every dol.
lars worth Of property destroyed and sunk,
and the country left a bowling wilderness,
than that the radicals should fail in their
plans and policy.
If Hawlcy damages his prospects in the
other counties Of the district as much as he
did in this county, he will be the worst beat,
ny nd hot
gress. Republicans that were enthusiast
for him before he came here, are now dis.
gusted with him. Monmouth ReoieU.

What the National Banks Make off OF the
People, and How they Make 1t.

Just take your pencil and figure up with
Us and see how much these national banks
make of the people.
A man has, 100000 in bonds, which, re.
member, he bought for Rreenbacks. He
goes on to Washington and deposits these
bonds there and receives authority to start a
national bank and United States depository,
and he gets $50, 900 in national bank notes,
which he brings home with him for circula'
ton. But he don't circulate much. lie
sends this money TO New York and buys
more bonds with 1t. He gets 100000 in
bonds. In doing business, suppose be has
deposited with him every year 100000,
which he has out, at interest. Being Uni
ted States depository, he has, say $4,000
government money on hand all the time, this
he also invests in bonds. Now you see,
here's business.
He draws per cent. gold interest on his
bonds deposited at Washington, equal to 9
per cent. greenbacks, which brings him in
$4,000 year. He does the same on the
bonds he buys with Uncle Sans money
this brings him $4,000. Thus starting out
with capital Of 100000, we find him with
500, 0OO-$9 0,O0O-$50 600, equal to $780,
600, giving him an income of $4,000: 49,
400: $4,000 equal to $2l, 400, His bonds
are exempt from taxation which makes
about per cent. more, $3,00O--altogethel
1924, 400. lie loans his deposits out at about
10 per cent. interest, making $4,000 more
Total S39,4O0. Call it $4,000. lie
started out with 100000 in greenbacks, and
at the end Of the year he has S2sO,OO0
which he says must be paid him in gold i
you take it away from him.
Certainly $2SO,OOO in greenbacks ought
TO satisfy him.

Married Women and Maids.

The Imperial Review is troubled with the
question yhether married women should
dance, and it expresses It's opinions in long
article, from which we make an extract It
says:
There is something almost unseemly in the
spectacle Of half dozen young married wo-
men, walking off with some Of the beat part
ners in the room, while a row of the girls are
sitting neglected against the wall. Neither
ignorance nor ghtlessness can BE pleaded
in excuse. Women, thoroughly known wo-
men, whatever else they may know; and
there is not one of them that is not wildly
CONSCIOUS Of what heart burning it causes to
a poor CIR! to hear the music and watch the
many twinkling feet Of a ballroom, and play
the almost ignominious part Of passive spec
tator. Grown up women cutching at all the
toys and sweetmeats of Christmas tree at a
juvenile party, would not be more unnatu-
raj spectacle. GrowR-up men eager to win
the stakes at round game got up for lads
home for the holidays, would not be more
cruel or inhuman. We are constrained te
plead for tenderness and consideration on the
part of young women who are married toward
young women who are not. Might not Sid
ney's words, as he handed the dfaught of wa
ter to the dying soldier, at Lutzen, be proGta
bly, remembered "Thy need is greater thar
mike"
