A WONDERFUL MEDICINE


Certificate of a Prominent Citizen
of Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
i'm "a Hours after the first ap-
plication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HAMLIN:-Wl1en I met your agent
here, in September, ! had been two years suf-
fering severely with Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at a time to my bed. The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. I used medicines without number,
including large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. As to what
suffered, the English language cannot tell
it to any one who has not tried its realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispeiled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. used bottle
a day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now
split cord of wood quick as. any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such a sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
change, though it should be death.
That all who read this may know how I
have been, I will say, when / commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to a mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when Il moved upon
crutches, or tried to stand
without them, i could not raise
either foot from the floor.
used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. | now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-five
pounds in flesh. But must tell you it seems
almost like a dream. You can refer to me as
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
Gems of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements.

Charity That Wins Heaven at Last.
detroit Free Press.J

A year ago there WAS quiet funeral On
Wilkins street, and when it was over an old
man called "Uncle William was left with
out home or friends, and with no means TO
help himself. Strangers said he would have
to go to the poor-house, but when the trem-
bling and half blind old man wiped tears
from his eyes, a neighbor said: Il will take
him into my home and care for him for a
month anyhow" and then will take him."
added another. And then my roof shall
shelter him." said third. So the old man
found friends. One took him and then an
other. and he was well used. They were far
from being rich. Their tables were lean and
their beds cold and sometimes the little that
Uncle William ate was missed by the hun
CRY children, but no one ever spoke IN
kindly of him nor limited that he was bur
den. One night last week, after the old man
had sought his bed and the children were
asleep, husband and wife sat down to say
to each other that work was scarce, the rent
behind, fuel nearly gone, and =.
Here they looked at each other
in shy way, as If ashamed
of their thoughts. The cold wind
whistled around the cottage as If hungerIng
to nip little toes. and the wife shivered and
said. He is so old and feeble-let us wait
few days longer" al haven't dollar left"
mussd the man, as he glanced at the cup
board. But he eats only little" pro-
tested the wife. They looked at each other
a long time without speaking. A vision of
poor old man battling with the fierce win
ter gale came to either and stood between
them with hands crossed in supplication.
HE shall stay" they whispered together,
as they rose up and made ready for the
night, and the gale banged at the doors as If
cheated OF its prey. Morning came with its
mesger breakfast. There was not enough
for four, but 1t must do for seven, and the
father forced smile to his face as he opened
the old mans door and called "Come, Uncle
William" There was no response, and
when they bent over the old man they
found that no man would ever sgain find
him a burden. 'See, said the wife, The
may have heard our whispers, for there is
tear on his cheek" But he knew the re-
solve of our hearts, for he died with smile
on bis face added the husband.

Both parties have called their nominating
conventions, and the presidential campaign
may fairly be regarded as already opened.
Ga the Republican side there seems TO be
no longer any doubt as to the candidate
Grant is the man. Every indication points
that way. The machine is for him Conk
Ling, Cameron, Logan, Carpenter. Robson
and Chandler's ghost are for him. The
great States of Nav York and Pennsylvania,
with a solid phaianx OF 12S votes, are already
instructed for him. Illinois Is sure 10 follow
suit. The carpet-baegers and negroes of the
solid South will do the rest Before go days
are over a majority of Grant delegates will
be known TO be elected. Then Sherman
and Blaine will withdraw their names.
When the Chicago convention meets on the
I'd of June Grants nomination by scclama-
ton will be q mere form and farce.
On the Democratic side only two things
seem to be certain 80 far az the nominations
are concerned. If when the convention as
sembles at Cincinnati, on the 22d OF June, 1t
should appear that Horatio Seymour could
really be induced - accept the nomination,
there is hardly doubt that the Democratic
ticket will be Seymour and Hendricks. Sey-
mour and Hendricks have unquestionably
the heart of the Democracy. 1t seems to be
the solution of all difficulties and the restor
alton of complete harmony. Yet we regard
Ii as entirely problematical whether Mr..
Seymour viii accept the call under any cir
cumstances. We have no doubt that at
present he is sincere in his positive declina-
ton.
The second important development OF re-
cent events lie that Mr.. Tilden, though still
influential, can never Ssgain receive the

New York World

Eighty thousand anti-Tilden Democrats
How will they be dealt with by the coming
Democratic State convention in New York?
That is vital and burning question which
the Democratic leaders may wink ont of
sight but which the Democratic masses must
straiehtway answer! The Louisville Cour-
leI-Journal, speaking obviously under bonds
ard ia the interest of Mr.. Tilden, declares
that these $4,000 anti-Tilden Democrats can
never again be represented in Democratic
conventionl Mr.. Conkling's treatment of
Mr.. Blaine and of Mr.. Baine's delegates at
Utica gives portentous significance to this
suggestion. Is the Democratic party of New
York to be reduced to the dimensions OF a
Tilden party, just as Mr.. Conkling means TO
reduce the Republican party of New York to
the dimensions of Grant third-term party +?
1t Is well known that the friends of Chief
Justice Church in New York prefer either
the chief justice or Mr.. Hendricks as their
candidate in 1880, but they must be counted
az Democrats nevertheless just as the fol-
lowers of Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Sherman must
be counted as Republicans-at least till Mr..
Conkling formally expels them from the or
genizatioDf

''terrapin'' on this brilliant array of the
quintessence of Hcosier Radicalism. The
engineer of the train which bears them to
the nations capital must keep steady hand
on the throttle and a keen eye open to the
rail, for if anything fatal should happen to
this magnificent quintette, the Radical
rooster of Indiana would flop around
through the approaching campaign like the
headless chicken that drew 30 much atten-
ton at the late poultry show held in this
city few weeks ago.

F1NANcIAL APPAIRs mi EUROPE.

A. Z Lee, consul general at Frankfort,
Germany, has addressed letter to the state
departments containing important informa-
ton relating TO the public expenditures and
debts OF the empire and of other great States
of Europe. The statistics are taken from the
columns of the Daily Zsitung, of Frankfort,
said TO be one of the best financial papers IN
Germany. These statistics are tabulated for
convenience, and the sums are reduced to
round millions The public expenses of
the various German States are given, COM
pairing 1865 with 1879 by which il Is seen
that while in 1865 the total expenses
amounted to $751;, COG 600, they had increased
to S3l4, 39s, 900 in 1879. The letter of Mr..
Lee also contains exhibits OF the aggregate
budgets OF all the European States for the

Democratic nomination. The NatA onai
committee, which was organized four yea II
ago In his special interest. is fair evidences
Of the change of sentiment about Mr.. TIden
Even that committee refused to carry Out
the Tilden programme, which consisted in
having the convention at the same day, the
same place, with the same platform and the
same candidates as four years ago. Cincin-
natl means the defeat Of nlden's friends II
- not unlikely that Mr.. Tilden will soon
withdraw his name from the contest. in
which case all danger of Democratic division
Will disappear, and Mr.. Tlden would greatly
add 10 his prestige.
AL indications point to q repetition of the
Democratic experience OF 1894 and 1852.
Unlees Seymour accepts, we will probably
have another Polk and Pierce campaign
When the convention meets at Cincinnati
some hitherto unknown but perfectly avail
able mGn with an excellent record or no
record at all will be taken, uPon whom
everybody can unite-the West as well as
the East--the softs as we'll as the herds-the
Tildenites as well a. the anti-Tilden men,
and precisely as the obscure Polk beat the
brilliant Henry Clay in 1874, ar little New
Hampshlres Piercs overwhel 7ingly de-
faated the great miEta-y hero that day

great unknown of Democracy defeat General
Grant at the polls.
Never have Democratic prospects been
brighter than now, since Democracy stands

EDUCATIONAL affairs are said 70 be flourish

people are having a chance to obtain an edu
cstIou. SIR. Jules Ferry reports that be-
tween the years 1887 and 1877 the number of
schools OF all kinds has increased in the pro-
portion of SO per cent, while in public
schools the increase has been something like
IS per cent. The number o, girls schools
has been more than qusdrupled, and there
has been an increase of nearly 100 per cent.
in the staff of teachers. In the public schools
40 years ago there was only one teacher for
IS pupils, while now there ia one for every
g Of the pupils. Taking the increase in
.foportion to the population it will be found
that, while IN 1887 there were only 1852 pupils
at primary schools to every 10000 inhabit-
ants, there are now ,2s1, or an increase of
20 per cent. In 1920 only "a per cent. of the
women married were able to sign the regis
ter, as against 70 per cent. at the end OF 1877.
NJ. Jules Ferry goes on to show that the
spread of primary education has been par
ticularly rapid since the war, and that in the
seven years from 1871 to 1878 the State grant
wa raised from 81 GOO, 600 to 81 900 600
