HE SILVER QUESTION IN THE PCLPIT.-
Several of the New York and BROOKLYN
ministers, in their Thanksgiving sermons.
referred in pointed terms to the matter of
silver imitation, notably Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher. of Plymouth Church. and Rev.
Dr. Potter, of Grace Episcopal Church.
Mr. Beecher spoke strongly against inAa,
tlon with deprecated silver, which he
styled suppressed repudiation, and which
he declared, like Suppressed measles. :"
will be fatal if it is not conquered. Mr..
Beecher said: "There is a congress of
time and Of the world. and civilized men.
1t agreeing on no other point, are agreed
that gold, and gold alone. is the standard :
the human race stands together in the
belief that gold represents property, and
any Congress which votes that silver is
equal to gold votes to teach men lie and
to cheat by law" DR.. Potter preached a
sermon IN advocacy of "paying honest
debts in honest coin" He said pecuniary
em6arrassments and family dissensons
shorten more lives than Overwork. and
argued that the remedy is higher ideal of
national or individual wealth. He urged
the lnculcation Of the belief in the doctrine
OF payment of honest debts in honest coin
IN order that our nation shall have no blot
upon ITS dealings with our people or with
those abroad. 1t is little curious, it must
be admitted, to see this subject discussed
IN the pulpit. Probably others know more
about 1t, in practical way, than the minis.
ters; though of couse in the matter of right
and wrong, honesty and dishonesty, they
are competent to speak.

America anything more than a number of

The WAR.-If farmers expect the war in
Turkey to continue long enough to keep
up the price in grain they will most likely
be disappointed, for all the advices now
indicate that the Russians are closing in on
the Turks so rapidly that they will have to
surrender before many weeks. The Turks
only had three strongholds, and one of these,
kars, has fallen, while the other two.
Plevna and Erzerum, are being closely
invested by the Russian forces. The Turk.
ish armies located in these mountain forti-
fications will either have to fight or be
starved out as the Russians are cutting off
their supplies.

case, and we consider it the duty of all
Druggists to recommend it to the poor dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
10000 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was re.
ported. Such medicine as the German
