houses, one-eighth of that number be-
ing in Canada. They abstain from tax
ing the oath, do not infict punishment,
do not accept public offices and never
go to law. They are nearly all farmers.
Between 5000 and 1000 seamens'

The Abyssinian, New York, with 1,400
members; Strong Place, Brooklyn, 1898;
the church in Binghampton, with 857,
and Calvary Church, New York City,
with 817.
The Methodist is Of the opinion that
the Methodist General Conference which
meets in May will elect five Bishops.
1t says: "There will be an effort to
stop at two, but the distribution of
choices among several candidates tends
to increase the number" Among the
more prominent candidates mentioned
are Chancellor Haven, of Syracuse
University; President Foss, of Wesley
an University; President Hurst, of Drew
Theological Seminary, and DR.. Charles
Fl. Fowler.

DIR. S. D. HOWE:
DEAR S1R-Permit me to add my grateful testi-
timeny to the army of witnesses to the virtues of
your Justly celebrated Arabian remedies. For
long time my wife was seriously afflicted with
hacking cough, an oppressed breathing, soreness
of the chest and constant acute pain in the lower
norton of the right lung and under the shoulder
blade Her sutferings were intense, and she be-
came extremely nervous and prostrqted Her dis
ease was pronounced consumption by the physi-
clans of Chicago and other cities whose presCrip-
tions had been taken without benefit WhenyOu
visited Chicago June, 1873, we called on you, nav
ing very little hope Of deriving help from your
treatment We were inspired with hope by the
skillful manner in which your thorough eXamina-
tion was conducted, and the satisfactory explana-
tion with which you closed your diagnosis. MY
wife determined to take your medicines in accord
ance with your plain and practical directions.
She began to use the Arabian Milk Cure and Ara
bian Tonic; their beneficial effects at ence became
manifest-the cough lOOsened and soon ceased,
respiration became easy, the soreness of the chest
was relieved and all pain removed, she began 10
gain in flesh and improve in strength and appear

skillful advice have saved the life OF my wife.
She unites with me in this grateful tribute 70 the
merits Of your remedies.

Henry Clay Dean, who is stumping the
sixth Iowa district for the democracy, when
asked upon what basis he would reconstruct
the Union, said
''If | could have my way | would place
jeff Davis in Congress, where he rightfully
belongs then | would go to Concord, and
take all of those miserable battle-fiags from
the State House yard; then | would go all
through the North and destroy all the monu-
ments and grave stones erected to the men,
DRY of soldiers; in short | would put out of
sight everything which reminds us that we
ever had a war with our Southern brethren
do not know as 1 would hang one-legged
and one-armed soldiers, but would pray to
God to get them on. of the way as soon as
possible"
Later, in the convention at Ottumwa, thi,
Dean said;
''rhese onc-armed soldiers who are thrust
under our noses as objects of charity are fit
carcasses for the gallows -
Speaking of the martyr President, he said ::
Il blush that such felon should occupy
the Presidential chair. Perjury and larceny
were written over him as often as zone dol
lar" on the one dollar bills of the State of
Indiana"

Tariff for revenue only" means free
trade. Free trade means-a notice posted
on the gates of thousands of New Eng
land mills, and thousands of Pennsylvania
iron works-''Closed to make way for
British goods" Can the working-men OF
the North afford the risk? Why have so
many thousands Of them come over to this
country the past year? How is it that the
number Of immigrants from Europe was
larger last month than in any correspond
ing month for many years? Because times
are hard. work scarce. and wages small
on the other side. while here times are
good, work abundant. and wages large.
What has made this difference? The re-
publican policy of protecting American
labor. and keeping the American market
for American goods And yet the Demo
cratic party appeals to them to vote for
Hancock and "a tariff for revenue only
which is, in effect. asking them to vote to
make their condition on this side of the
Atlantic exactly what it was on the other
