This Is the time when the Democracy
bats its hook anew and throws it out
for the Greenback party to nibble. The
Democratic organs are filled with arti.
cles on the consolidation of parties, in
which the necessity Of uniting ali the
elements of opposition to the Repub-
lican party is fOrcibly set forth. Some
of the editors urge as bond of union a
common hatred of the National banks,
but this is not pleasing suggestion to
few editors who see the folly of such
a course at this time of all times. The
fact is that resumption has left the par.
ty in sorry plight. 1t cannot turn
over new leaf land start as an honest
money party without losing the Green
back vote. it attacks the banks in
order to eaten the Green hackers, it will
lose New.YOrk State, and win moth
ing but defeat.-N. Y. Tribune.

Notes and Comments.

The Baltimore Gazett Dem. has dis
covered that "Greenback platforms are
aow used as lining for last years birds

"Show me a negro who votes the
Democratic ticket" said witness be

Is Governor Bishop preparing fol
che bloody contingency of both Presi
iential candidates of 1880 being chosen
from Ohio, that he advised the in
crease of the militia and its establish
ment upon war footing?
The Hon. William A. Wheeler, Vice
President of the United States, is q
member of the Presbyterian church in
Malone, n. Y. For years past be has
been accustomed to give $500 to Home
Missions, but this year, on account o.
the debt OF the Board, he doubled the
amount and sent check for 1000.

from bis letters to the Teller Commit

Df Ohio, it might be necessary
in the event of bis election to the
Presidency, to hire a mau to write his
messages. @ sH
Mr.. TiIden writes to the Ohio Dem
ocrats that he is glad to perceive in
them spirit $50 auspicous of promise
that the people will regain all the
rights of elective self'government."
Which, rewritten in cipher dialect,
means: "Proposition accepted if done
only once" Looks now as though
the thing would work at $4,000 for
all seven votes" majority of Board
have been secured; cost is $50, ,000."
Resumption is accomplished, but il
the Democratic infiationists in the
House who considerably waived their
war on the national credit last month
now insist on their privilege of agita,
tating the subject, they will help to
fulfil their own predictions Ct the fail
ure OF resumption. There was no wi
ser opinion expressed in the Presidents
message than that "we do moi want
ar y radical change in money legisla'
tion at this time"

GARFIELD, in his recent Chicago
speech, made some suggestive allu-
sions 10 the history of the resumption
ofspecie payments in England, show
Ing that the English parliament had
its Ewings and Vorheeses. Cobbett,
the great English pamphleter, declared
in 1916 that he would publicly offer
himself to be broiled on q gridiron on
the day that cash payments should be
resumed. He kept the picture of q
q gridiron at the head of his paper to
remind his readers of his prophecy of
the impossibility of specie resumption.
But resumption did take place. after a
great deal of unskilful management.
VOORHEES,, Ewing and the rest of the
set of rag money advocates predicted
with equal positivsness the impossi-
bility Of resumption in this country
and the ruin and disaster that would
follow the attempt, and now that re-
sumption has been accomplished with
out a jar and events have given the lie
to their prophecies, one would natu-
rally think that this would shut them
up on finance. But probably this would
be worse than the broiling of Oobbett
would have been. They would burst

presented from Mrs. DIR. Mary E.
Walker asking for pension; also. reso.
lutionst from the New York State
Senate demonstrating against the pro-
vision in the Army bill forbidding the
States arsenals. The bill to amend
the patent laws was laid aside and the
Indian Appropriation bill was taken
up. The Senate committee had added
S5S, 1925 to the bill passed by the
House. An amendment striking out
the clause directing the President to
prohibit the removal of the Apaches
and other Indians into the Indian
Territory led to a discussion, termi-
mating in its rejection by a vote of 81
to s. The pay Of the Indian police
was increased from S400 to $500, and
the number of officers increased from
fifty TO one hundred, adding 1900 to
the appropriation. The bill as amended
in committee, was then PASSED by the
Senate. After an executive session
an adjournment till Monday took place.
In the House while in committee the
bill for the relief of the William and
Mary College, at Williamsburg, Va,
was discussed. Mr.. Conger opposed the
bill, saying that building, described as
the home of the MUSES. and the peace
full abode OF learning. was used as d
prison before its capture by the Union
army, and read a description of its
filthy condition written by q war cor
respondent. Mr.. Loring, who hat.
advocated the bill. responded by say
ing that he looked ON the question as
superior to war claims. II the colleges
and school houses of the South had
been restored at the end of the war the
government would have presented to
the world high and honorable exam
pie and cenented the conflicting sec
tions. Mr.. Goode, OF Virginia, and
others ontin ued the debate, which be-
came quite spirited. A vote was finally
taken on the bill, and it was rejected
yeas 81, nays 125. The action was
made final for this session by laying q
motion to reconsider on the table.
The Senate was not in session on
Saturday, and the House proceedings
confined to the announcement of the
death of Mr.. Gustave Schleicher, oi
Texas, and the appointment of com.
mittee to accompany his remains to
his former home in San Antonio.
In the Senate on Monday q bill wat
passed appropriating $25O,0OO for Ma
tional Museum.
The Senate attended the funeral SER
vices of late Representative Schleicher
in body.
In the House report recommending
the salary of late Representative
Schleicher of the rest of this and fol
the next Congress to be paid his family
was adopted.
Funeral services of Mr.. Schleichel
were conducted in the House.

The State Fair.

Springfield Republic.
At the recent meeting of the Ohio
Agricultural Convention, Col. Charles
worth, OF Belmont, offered a resolutit n
to permanently locate the State Fair in
Columbus on the grounds of the Stale
at the Ohio State University; and pro-
viding that the University and the
Fair be under the Board of Agriculture
and the Trustees of the University,
and that the State Board be elected the
same as now. The Agricultural So
ciety con never have suitable buildings
and provisions for its annual exhibit
tiOns until permanent location Is
decided upon. Columbus should have
the State Fair for all time to come,
and whatever she contributes toward
the funds should be expended on per-
msnent improvements, which will be
of more advantage to her citizens than
to those of other portions of the State.

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
