It Will Pass, Veto or no Veto.

The following caustic review of
the vote on Matthews resolution in
the Senate, is from the Chicago
Tribune: The Senators voting
against the bill in direct and noto-
rious hostility to the almost unami-
nous conviction of their constitu-
ents are Sargent, of California, La
mar, of Mississippi; Christiancy, of
Michigan; Mitchell, of Oregon;
Butler, of South Carolina; and Hill,
of Georgia. In opposing the Silver
Bill neither of these Senators rep
resent any CONTINGENCY in his own
State. The people of those States,
if faithfully represented, would have
their full vote recorded for this
bill. 1t will be seen that the pro-
ducing States-those States that
produce the wheat, corn, and other
breadstufs; the beef, pork, and
other articles embraced under the
head OF provisions; the cotton, SUI
gar, molasses, tobacco; the petrole-
UNI, the coal, the iron, tue silver
and gold, and copper and lead; the
States that furnish ninety-seven per
cent. of the exports of the whole
country-th those States are all unan-
imously in favor of the remonetiza-
ton and recoinage of the silver dol
lar of 4l24 grains.
On the other hand, the opposing
States are the New England States,
New York and New Jersey. Penn
sylvania has broken loose from the
money lenders; her closed furnaces
and her suspended industries tell
too plainly the depreciation of the
peoples substance in order to make
gold dear. Even Delaware and
Maryland have refused to follow
Wall street in it's demands. The
debate and vote on the Matthews
resolution leave no doubt of the ul-
innate passage of the Silver Bill,
veto or no veto

A GenfIe Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sud-
den changes OF temperature-rain,w wind
and sunshine often intermingled in a
single day-it Is no wonder that our
children, friends and relatives are so
frequently taken from us by neglected
colds, half the deaths resulting directly
from this cause. 4 bottle of BOschee's
Geiman Syrup kept about your home
for immediate use will prevent serious
sickness, large doctors bill, and per-
haps death, by the use of three or four
dgses. For curing Hemorrhages, Con-
sumption, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs,
Group or any disease of the Throat or
Lungs, its success is simply wonderful,
as your druggist VIII tell you. German
Syrup is now sold in Pulaski by Sump-
ter & Lacey, and in every town and vii
lage on this continent. Sample bottles,
for trial, 10 cents; regular size 70 cents.

The dissolution Of the Ottoman
Empire cannot take place without
large accessions of territory to Aus
tria and Germany, as well as to Rus
STA. The immense military forces
of these Empires will enable them
to reform the map of Europe to
suit their own interest. Ger
many aspires to be leading ma
val power and to the extension of
her coast line on the North Sea, to
the French frontier. Her ambition
points to the absorption of Holland
and Belgium. The annexation of
Bosnia aAd Herzegovina to Austria
will give her the whole line of the
Save, and two Provinces rich in
precious and useful minerals, and
in forests of ship building timber,
with large martial populations. To
counter balance the gains of the al
lied Empires, England will incorpo-
rate Egypt with the other posses
sions of the British crown, carrying
her dominions down 10 the Equa-
tor. Whether or not these parti-
lions and acquisitions can be har
moniously adjusted depends GA a
community of understanding be-
tween the Imperial trinity. The
tendency of the governments is to
the absorption of the outlying
sm aller States, and to the division
of Central Europe between them
selves. The military strength which
they have developed is formidable
beyond an thing that has been wit
messed in modern times Should
they ever come in collision, it would
be struggle that would shake Eu
rope to its centre.

Fortunately for Mr.. Hayes, and
still more fortunately for the coun-
try, the results of the conservative
policy are fixed facts. He can not
disturb them if he would. He can
not pull down Nichols and Hamp
ton and put up Packard and Cham
berlain. He can not re-establish
carpet bag rule; he can not return
these emancipated communities to
their former bondage; he can not
bring back to place and power the
white and black knaves who filed
their pockets at the expense of a
helpless people. But he may go
far enough in the wrong direction
to show that it was expediency and
not principle which sent him in the
right direction. He can not seri-
ously hurt the South, but he can
damage himself past all redemption.
We give him credit for too much
common sense, as well as honesty
and honor, to believe he has any
such intention as is attributed to
him. He may wish the Returning

Mr.. Daniel Tucker, as we see
from a Boston paper, celebrated, Il
few days since, his Tooth birthday.
There was a time when Mr.. Tucker
stood very conspicuous before the
American people, but, overcome by
the infrmities of age, he has long
since retired from the public gaze,
and his name, once in every body's
mouth, is now mentioned in the
public prints for the first time in
many years. In 1874 he was either
tremendous Wing or a tremen-
dous Democrat, and consequently
great worshiper of either Mr.. Clay
or Mr.. Polk, it is not now generally
known which. 1t was during the
memorable campaign of that year
that the poet wrote of him:
"Old Dan Tucker olomb tree
His lord and master for to sec,
But limb it broke and he got q fall,
And never saw his lord at all, !"
this statement Of facts being &C
compaDied by a request that Mr..
Tucker should get out OF the way
of some party or other whose name
was withheld, together with the as
suraLce that owing . the lateness
Of the hour of his arrival, all ideas
of supper we're out of the question,
the kitchen fires having been long
since extinguished. To the man of
middle age the name Of Daniel
Tucker recalls many pleasant reeOl
lections of boyhood. He is chiefly
remembered from the fact that he
was always in everybo1y's way, or,
at least, was always being told by
somebody 10 get out of the way,
and be seems TO have been known
as "Old Daniel I ucker" almost
from his infancy. Long may he
live TO awaken in us memories
of the past by the recurrence of the
anniversary OF his birthday.-COu
