stipaton coated tongue, pain in the shoulderblade

dered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver
Persons affected, If they take one or two heavy
colds, and If the cOugh in these be suddenl
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged,
remaining torpid, and inactive, and almost before

TIaen Meeting at Timm's Hall.
The Tilden Reform club met in Timm's
Hail last evening, with ID. W. Gould,
chairman. and after transacting some
business, listened to a very able address by
VI. NJ. Corbett, Esq, on the political
issues of the day. The speaker proved
himself we'll posted on the status of the
TWO parties and made some scathing COM
parisons Of the opposing candidates. The
corruptions of the present Republican ad-
ministration, abuses in the civil service,
and the rottenness Of the party in power,
were each in turn reviewed with telling
effect Some comparisons ve1e also made
of the expenditures of the government,
from actual statistics. and the course of
the Republican senate for refusing con-
currence to imperative reforms, was con-
demned in telling terms. Mr.. Corbett was
frequently applauded throughout the
speech, and at lis conclusion three rousing
cheers were given for I'ilden, Hendricks and
Reform.
The chair announced the following per-
sons as the executive committee: c.
Piper, II. Abel, Lueius Wells, f. Goett

The Rockford Switch.

The action of the council, Monday night,
on the petition of the Rockford road, to
lay switch up the alley to Rodman
avenue and thence by means OF a turn
table across Main street to the shops OF
the Moline PI0w Co. was not unexpected
and indicates what will be the final action
of the board Of alderman. Judge Gould,
addressed the council in behalf of the peti-
TONERS aud endeavofed to show that the
new route would not damage Rodman
avenue as much as to lay a track under
| the franchise already granted, as did also
| r. K. Swan, of the Moline Plow Co, but
the council refused to act until full
| board was in attendance. This practically
| kills the measure. 1t is no more than fair
that the Moline Plow CO. should have
equal shipping facilities with other manu-
| featuring establishments, but it cannot eX-
pect to obtain right of way up the alley.
| Why not give the right to build a
track up the north side of Main street
This is unquestionably the proper place to
Law a switch and would meet the approval
of large majority of our citizens, besides
afording equal facilities to all the manu-
featuring establishments alike The only
opposition would come from Deere Il Co.,
but why that concern should be
allowed, from jealous motives,
to dictate to the council does not
seem plain or reasonable. The Moline
) Plcw Co. is willing TO accept track up
Main street. il fact that route would be
preferable. They are among the
, most liberal of our firms They ask only
equal shipping facilities with others, The
council should literally consider then
claims. A switch up the north side o
Main street would not be incompatibl,
with public interests and. unless some
! stronger objection can be raised than those
! already presented, there is 10 reason VII.

them the officers escorted the pair
to the Western Police Station,
where they informed Capt. Lepson
that they were Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ard Drew. They bad both been
in the employ of William E. Seeley,
OF Bridgeport, Conn, the man as
coachman, and the girl, whose be-
fore her marriage was Mary Kill

since they determined to marry,
and believing their determination
wouldImeet with the opposition oI
their employer, left Bridgeport
about two weeks since, and came
to this city, where they were mar.
ried. They obtained board at No.

Especial despatch to the World).
Gen. Farnsworth, of Illinois, for
ten years o Republican member OF
Congress, and who also served in
the Union army, but now supports
Iilden and Hendricks, has just ar
rived here from the Ohio and Indi-
ana campaign, and brings the most
encouraging advices ofthe progress
tf the Democratic ticket, He has
no doubt of Democratic victory in
Indiana in October. A we'll known
Wisconsin Republican, who sup'
ports Hayes and Wheeler, also ar
rived here yesterday, and has ex-
pressed his fears that Tilden will
carry that State in November.
Although some of the depart
ments complain that they are not
able to tran. act the official business
owing to the reductions of their
force made by Congress, thay have
nevertheless decided to grant the
Indiana clerks forty days leave of
absence in order that they may vote
at the October and November elect

for Mr.. Evarts to come out there
and tell them what he konws about
Hayes and Wheeler, the "bloody

and promise to give him a gushing
reception. But he viii hardly go
there or anywhere else on a pal ~

embodied his views, and presented
lessons which will hurt nobody to
practice in this present year and for
all the years to come. Mr.. Evarts

GEN. SHERMAN,s ORnPcS

From che instructions which
Gen. Sherman has given to mar.
shals as to the extreme of their
powers in employing the military
in elections under the infamous
order of Taft, it appears that he
has very properly and wisely placed
some limit and restriction upon the
arbitrary powers of these officers
His order is in substance as fol.
lows:
"Otlicers commanding troops
summoned to aid marshals O,
sheriffs, must judge for themselves
whether the service is lawful or
necessary, and compatible with
their ordinary duties. They must
limit their action absolutely to
proper aid in the execution Of the
lawful precept exhibited by the
marshal or sheriff. If time per.
mits every demand should be for
warded to the President for his
ofuer, ana IN all cases the highest
officer, whose orders can be given
in time to meet the emergency
will alone a71ume the responsibility
of action.
This would seem to place a,
least some discretion in the hands
of the military officers command.

some extent in their action. The
