The Commercial says: The manufac-
turers of quinine in this country are labor
ing with Congress to restore that drug to
the list of duLiable articles. They do not

Congress never did an act more grateful to
the people than when it put this almost
universally nsed drug on the free list-A
strenuous effort Is being made at Columbus
to defeat legislation for the restoration of
the old B ard Of Public Works of Cincin-
natl. The schemers who are in this
enterprise, as rule, are not
communicative as to their real
designs but set up lamentable whine
against partisan legislation. II is not par
tisan to restore the Board that the people
elected. Of course, the delegation from
this county must vote for the bill that pre-

by the Senate means that, in spite Of the

the New York or Pennsylvania Senator.
The German Papera
The Volksfreund SAYS: Money rules the
world and Don Cameron rules Pennsyl-
vania. Sherman did not seem to be known
by the Rep iblicahs of Pennsylvania. As
Penns> lvania goes so goes the Union; so at

Grant will be nominated and also elected
The former We believe and the latter We
fear.
The Volksblatt says: The delegates who
voted against Grant in Harrisburg repre-
sent the views of more than two-thiris Of
the Republicans of the State. In spite Of
the victory which Cameron gained at the
Republican State Convention for the third
term DO m, the Grant people have little

which has cost the victor more than the
vanquished.
The Freie Presse says: Every delay caused

Yesterdays Abend Post says: Mr.. Benja-

feat of the Kirby Bill. and whether this is
correct or not he himself must best know.
