The LITTLE GIANT OF CONNECTICUT
Tho nomination of Thomas NJ Waller for
Governor of Connecticut marks a new era
in the politics of that state. Ii VIII arouse
the young Democrats 10 a pitch of enthu-
siasm not reached In years. Waller is a
comparatively young man of humble orr
gin and of unstained character. FROM a
ragged newsboy in the streets of New York
he has risen to pre.eminent position as q
lawyer in a neighboring state. In face and
figure he resembles the Little Giant of Hi.
nois. He has Douglass energy and. per.
sonsl magnetism. He will be found at the
head of the column in the coming cam
.paign. He Is manly and outspoken, and
Ihe deserves the support of every Democrat
and independent Republican. Y. San,

lhere IS no reason TO suppose that Sc.
rious injury was done to corn by the Sep
tember frosts. Reports throughout Ne
blaska, Kansas, Missouri, central and south.
efu Iowa show that frost was beneficial
than otherwise, since the corn was practl.
cally ripe. In central Illinois and central
Indiana and south the same favorable state
of things exists. New corn is already be-
ing marketed in central and southern Hi
uois and Indiana, selling at about forty
cents per bushel. 4 load of new corn was
brought into Des Moines on September 90
sound and hard. In northern Indiana
northern Illinois and northern Iowa, and
in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota,
the damage by frost is sectional, and as a
rule confined to restricted localities, and
even then not severe. The late rains have
allowed the seeding of winter wheat and
so far the prospect Is satisfactory for the
succeeding crop. Notwithstanding the
predictions of croakers, we have no reason
to qualify the statements heretofore made.
There will be plenty of corn for all the re-
quirements Of the country and for export
if ordinary care is used and the large
amount OF coarse grams will go good
way in making up the scarcity of corn uE.
I'll the present crop comes forward, as well
as IN making up for what shortage there
may be In corn. The stock of old corn is
low. The new crop will all be wanted at
tar prices, and In fact will be worth more
money to the farmers than if full crop
hap been raised. Hence we repeat the ad.
vice heretofore given. Save every acre of
corn in the best possible condition, and
husband 1t carefully. Feed all animals
for the butcher, until fat, and do not be in
any hurry to sell the surplus sound corn

worlds remedy for all diseases of the

lieving suffering, and often saving life.
The protection it affords, by its timely

makes it an invaluable remedy to be
kept always on hand in every home.
No person can afford to be without it,
and those who have once used it never
will. From their knowledge Of its

use the CHERRY PICTORIAL extensively
in their practice, and clergymen recon-
mend it. 1t is absolutely certain in
its healing effects, and viii always
cure where cures are possible.

SIX POINTS.
ALL WORTH REMEMBERING.
VCUT THEM OUT.zh

People take nauseating doses for every
pain and ache, which put their stomachs out
of order, and then a physician is called to
attend to them. This is all needless, for if
the Hop Plaster is used, it is absorbed into
the system IN just the way to cure without
bringing on other troubles.
A medicine to he popular must be both
agreeable and etficacious; the Hop Plaster is
a rare union Of vegetable agents combined
with safety. reliability and effectiveness. The
indiscriminate use of medicines taken inter
nally is far more productive of injury than of
benefit.
The most powerfully medicated and effec-
tive plaster ever evented is the Hop Plaster;
it embodies all the medicinal and sedative
properties of the Hop in combination with
the most highly approved gums and balsams
known to modern pharmacy.
The Hop Plaster is made porous. thus
allowing the free evaporation of moisture,
stimulating the innumerabie pores of the body
to healthy action and giving tone and vigor
to the whole system. 1t is the,liscovery of a
Yankee chemist.
The medicinal virtues of the Hop have been
utilized for centuries; they are all concentra-
ted in the Hop Plaster, and do more real good
in relieving pain than any root. drug or herb
liquid medicine in the whole domain of nature.
Hop Pasters are sold by all druggists in
the United States and Canada. (25 cents each
or for 81. } and are guaranteed to be the best
in the markets. Avoid cheap, worthless goods.
