Frequently at night would spring out of bed, it
seemed to me at the point of sufocation. would
then have recourse to every means in my power to
dlslodge the mucous from my throat and head be-
fore being able to sleep again. For period of six
years my tOnsils were liberated and so much IN
famed that could with difficulty swallow. l fl.
nay consulted an eminent surgeon in regard to an
operation on them, but at his request postponed it..
The constant Inflammation and liberation in my
throat caused by the poisonous matter dropping
down from my head had so irritated and jnfamed
my lungs that coughed incessanty-a deep, hard
cough. Meanwhile my system began to show the
effects of this disease, so that lost flesh grew pale
and showed every symptom OF an early death by
Consumption When matters had reached this

After using the first bottle began to improve
rapidly. The first dose seemed to clear my head
as had not known it to be for years. 1t seemed
gradually to arrest the discharge. 1t stopped my
cough in three days. By using 1t as gargle soon
reduced the Inflammation and swelling Of my ton
sils, so that they soon ceased to trouble me. The
soreness across my chest disappeared, the buzzing
noises in my head ceased, my sense of hearing and
of seeing were completely restored, and every

Ohio Democratic Defeat.

The Democracy of Ohio have doubt
| less met with an overwhelming de-
feat. The most popular man in Ohio
running as the candidate OF the party
which is unquestionably numerically
| the strongest in the Buckeye State,
has been beaten, and it is equally cer-
| tain that this defeat was due to the
false financia plank in the Democrat
ic platform advocating imitation. This
result was not unexpected, and, strange
as it may seem, was ardently pesired by
the mass of the Democratic party
throughout the United States. 1t is uu-
fortunately true that a general welfare
of the Democracy in the coming cam
paign could only be insured by the
sacrifice of one of its hitherto great
champions, and of an over whelming
defeat in one of the greatest States of
the Union. The verdict of the Ohio
suffragers, and the disposal of ALLEN,
removes q bone of contention that
threatened division of the entire
Democratic party of the country.
There will be none so bold now rs to
advocate infat ion. Ohio was its great
stronghold, and If it failed there it
cannot possibly be successful in sim
gle State of the Union. Beyond all
question the Democracy will now te-
naciously adhere to a currency basis
upon gold and silver. The Ohio de-
feat will therefore prove victory in
the end, and the loss of old uncle WILL
LIAM ALLEN a substantial gain.
There is lesson too in this result
that the true lover of his country inde-
pendent of party issues cannot fail to
view with interest. Principles have
triumphed at the ballot box. The
people have freed themselves from par
ty influence, and east their ballots for
what they regarded as the true tenets
to be maintained. The most bitter en-
emy of Republican institutions must
see in this repudiation of the initiation
theory striking proof of the wisdom
and virtue of the masses. In a most
delicate position, where it might have
been plausibly argued that the success
of the Democratic party was of more
consequence than the defeat ola bad
principle dragged into State plat
form and wholly irrelevant; and on
question which is the most abstruse
that can possibly come before Il peo-
pie, Ohio has acted as became that
commonwealth, and as was hoped by
the best and ablest men in the land.
Let this be q solemn warning to the
Democracy. Let it impress upon the
leaders Of the party that is looked up
to as the only one to guide the nation
out of its present misfortunes, that
the American public cannot be i'm
posed upon by political tricksters, and
that principles and not men will gain
their allegiance; that the better ele-
ments of this country will not follow
blindly the lead of any of the "war
horses,'' and that the masses are not
only sufficiently informed as to their
true interests but even more intelii-
gent than most of the political "haeksn
who are endeavoring to guide them.

IT seems that the invention of paper
money is due to a Tartar. The great
traveller, MARCO Polo, five centuries
ago described the money which the
Grand Khan issued. Bits of paper
manufactured from the mulberry bark
and stamped with the royal seal were
the currency of the realm. The Khan,
however, has a method of preventing
any depreciation of this currency. 1t
is not only legal tender, but whoever
refuses it is considered guilty of high
treason and speedily feels the heads
mans axe. Who will now deny the
merits of paper money?

classes recliclSng away on telegraph instru-
ments, or sending or receiving messages, or
vigorously calling or downtown office.
In the next room, the sewing machines,
patterns, capes, drawing boards and scissors
make one think that by some mistake he has
got into the Workshop of a dress making es-
tablishment. Such is the act, but there is no
mistake. It Is business and means business
right along-only the girls are studying dress
making instead of working for the profit OF
an employer.
In the next rooms are the pianos, guitars
and organs, which bring one back to "female
college" memories once more, and which sug-
gest the fact that there is nothing in the Con-
stitution OF the United States or the laws OF
Kansas preventing the industrial classes
from havingyall the EN- ployment and sac
complishments" that have been conceded to
the butterfly classes
But, as we said at the outset, every now and
then the unusualness and queerness of the
whole thing comes over us like gust ofcold
air in a hot day. 1t is so unlike the "college''
life with which most are familiar. As boy
we should have seized upon such opportuni-
ties with the same avidity that we did on
games of football and chance for q serenad-
ing party. AS man, the practical benefit
which such an education as this will be to
the one hundred and forty-six students now
present, when they are called to the discharge
of the stern duties of real life, seems every
day to be greater-and we wish we "were u
boy again." just to substitute its thorough
drill for that blessed old drill In Horace and
Plato, bird-track geology and abstract"
mathematics. 1t is good plan to educate
n boy SO that when he becomes man, and is
thrown from the commencement platform OF
real life, like a kitten from table, he can
'fal on his feet" tits easier for him To sto ,
that way than on his back, and he can start
on the hunt OF new quarters sooner.
The problem, "what shall we do with our
boys" will be solved when boys are trained
after the manner indicated by the above. 1t
seems criminal that the compliment TO our
common school system" THE State University
does not set the example and observe the
spirit of the Congressional grant tand maxi in
dustrial education respectable.

A Los Angeles County Bankrupt.

We find the following notice of one
of the latest Los Angeles bankrupt, in
the San Francisco Bulletin:
On the 2Sth day of July last, NJ.
Frankel, q resident of Los Angeles
county, filed q petition in bankruptcy,
which stated that he was unable to
pay his debts but that he was willing
to surrender all his estate and effects
for the benefit of his creditors. On the
4th of September, the District United
States Court appointed Michael II.
Myers assignee of his estate, and all
his bankruptcy property was transferr-
ed to him. This was subsequently
sold by the assignee at private sale,
realizing the sum of $1,000. Iester-
day J. H. Steinhart, filed petition to
have these proceedings vacated. The
petitioner sets forth that when Frank
ell filed his petition and for long time
previously, he was of unsound mind,
and incapable of managing his busi-
ness affairs; and when he filed the pc
tition he had not sufficient intelli-
gence about his affairs to know wheth-
er he was bankrupt or not; nor did
he know what the petition contained
or for whatpurpose it was filed. Stein
hart AYERS that Frankel was not a
bankrupt, and that the property sold
by the assignee was worth 500, 900, gold
coin, while the debts against the es-
tate only amounted to $4,000. On
the 25th of September Frankel was
adjudged by the County Court of Los
npalas IN ha ipsapn The Soua dap
the Court appointed Steinhart guard
ian of the person of Frankel. Upon
this petition Judge Hoffman issued an
order that the assignee, Myers, show
cause on the 10Th instant why Frankel
was not of unsound mind when he filed
his petition, 1t was further order
ed that all proceedings be stayed
meantime.

THE civil war in America destroyed
the navies of the world, and directed
the attention of mankind into a new
channel. England, depending upon
her empire over the seas, quickly rec
ogniZed the necessity of a reconstruc-
ton of her fleets. She has gone on
perfecting the new system of naval
architecture, resolving to carry the
new principle to its final consequences.
The science of gunnery has also me-
cessarily kept pace with naval archi-
lecture, and while at the close of our
contest it was thought the steel plated
turret monitor was impregnable, the
world must now recognize the fact
that guns can be constructed Of suf1i-
cient power to sink them as easily as
the old smooth-bore sent the old fash
ioned wooden frigate to the bottom. A
gun has just been completed at Wool
wich, England, which far exceeds in
size and power any ever constructed.
The monster weighs eighty-one tons,
is thirty-three feet in length, has a
bore sixteen inches in diameter, and
throws solid shot weighing 1900
pounds q distance Of sexen or eight
miles, full charge of powder being
25O to 800 pounds. The gun and car
riage together weigh l20 tons. 1t is
expected that the shot can pierce Is to
20 inches of iron plating. 1t is calcu-
sated this gun is able to send a pro-
iectile with as much force as could be
communicated by 1000 horsepower
engines to the largest ram in the Brit
ish navy.

THE Visalia Delta asks: "When a
gentleman with four or five hundred
dollars in hand allows himself to be
sued for small bill, the correctness
of which is undisputed, or who sends
his family East on money belonging
to his partners, there is ground, we
think, to suspicion his honest inten-
tions.n IF these conclusions came in
the shape of a question, we should
answer them all in the affirmative and
then submit the query: Is such an
individual gentleman?

THE journals of the State unite in
stating that economy is being gene
rally practiced among all classes. The
rich and the poor are living within
their means, and confining their ex-
penditures to the actual necessaries of
life. This needed reform will do more
than anything else to bring about a
healthy state of affairs, though it may
for time lessen the business of the
country. When the wheels of COM
merce are again fairly in motion it
will be upon a substantial basis.
