THE TRIBUNE chap can understand
why we don't think Judge Whitaker
a saint and Gen. Anderson devil,
simply because the one is Boston
man, and the other an ex-rebel general.
Well, we don't blame the Tribune
The eternal principle of right, regard
less of man antecedents or citizen
ship, is something that is apparently
obnoxious to our cotemporary. We
believe in repentance, and that even a
Boston man may become a thief.
Judge Whitaker is a villainously
wicked man, and Just about as fit to
wear the judicial ermine as Hercules
would be to act as wet nurse III pri-
va;e hospital. Gen. Anderson, if
rebel once. is loyal to-day, condition
that cannot be spoken of very many
who arc up in the alphabet of politics

PRESIDENT HAYES, in his veto of
the silver bill, lays great stress upon
the payment Of bonds in gold, and
claims that to remonctize silver and
make it legal factor in payment of
our bonds. is unjust. Law me, Ruth
erford, the contract was to pay the
bonds in coin. Isn't silver coin? Will
Mrs. Hayes read Rutherford the
statute and spell the hard words for
him?

ton to the territorial cession, was

ONLY THE PRELIMINARIEs
Tomorrow the plepipotentiaries will
enter upon discussion of the details
of several points of the treaty which
were agreed to en- bloc, taking up the
first payment and the guarantees for
the payment of the indemnity. Intel
ligence comes from St. Stefano that
that Gen. Isnatiff and a special Turk
ish ambassador were to leave for St
Petersburg immediatel y after the sign
ing Of the preliminarles of peace 1t
is thought that the special ambassador
will convey the sultan's desire for the
restoration Of diplomatic relations OF

aries only having so far been signed
The principal conditions of the prelim-
mary treaty just signed are the cession

sideration. The question of navisa-
ton remains in statu quo.

those me! toned by Lord Derby in the
house of lords this afternoon.
SMALL. 1ssUEIIoITY.
The Agence Russc says some days
must elapse before the treaty can reach
St Petersburg and the authentic con
ditions be published. The Ayence
declares that these will show that tie
indemnity has been reduced to almost
nothing and that the question of guar
autee has not been touched.

he imagined he was so far from home

No other medicine in the world was
ever given such q test of its curative
qualities at Boschee's German Syrup.
In three years two MILLION four hun
dred thousand small bottles of this
medicine were distributed free OF
charge by Druggists in this country
to those afflicted with Consumption,
Asthma, Group, severe Coughs, pneu-
monia and other diseases of the
Throat and Lungs, giving the Amer
lean people undeniable proof that
German Syrup willcure them. The re-
suit has been that Druggists in every
town and village in the United States
are recommending it TO their GUS
toners. Go to your Druggist. and
ask what he knows about it. Sam

cents. Three doses viii relieve any

Horrible Story.

The press is fortunately seldom
called upon to record SO terrible Il
tragedy as that which was enacted
near Americas, Ca, on recent Mem
day. A man named Caldwell MUIR
dered his wife, three of his children
and his sister-in-law with u smooth
ing iron and then ended his life i'll a
most desperate and frightfHl manner.
After committing the awful crime
Caldwell threw himself into well,
hut failing to kill himself, and no
Doubt disappointed by the unexpected
shallnwness of the water, he managed
to crawl ont, and going to the top of
his house, jumped from the roof to the
ground. He was stunned by the fall
and was found by two eolored men !;
but even yet death.did not come To
llis relief. Recovering his senses he
despatched the colored men for assis-
lance, and in their absence contriyed
to drag himself to the roof of the gin
house, threw himself headlong to the
ground and was instantly killed. The
most affecting part OF the story is the
escape of one little child, who crawled
under the house and thus escaped the
fathers fury. Three elder children
were absent at school or at work in
the fields. The annals of crime can
scarcely contain IL more horrible story
Oh more determined snieide. 1t is
only charitable to believe that the
murderer must have been a nving
maniac when he committed the butch.

Mr.. H. r. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured it has been the means of saving
sons life. He is now seventeen years of age. For
the last two years he has suffered from necrosis of
his leg, caused by scrofulous Affection and 80
far reduced that nearly all who him Thought his
recovery impossible. A council OF able physicians
could give but the f1ntesthope of his ever rally
ing; two of the number declaring that he was beyond
the reach of human remedies, that even amputetion
could not save him, be had not vigor enough to
endure the operation. just then commenced
giving him VEGETHE, and from that time to the
present he has been continuously improving He
has lately resumed his studies, thrown away his
crutches and cane, and walks about cheerfuily and
strong
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb l.Aced, we have tine
fullest confidence that In little time he will be per.
fectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VICE.

he IS too well to be taking medicine.
