 From the Ptttefetd, (Mass) Eagle.
 Stone in the Bladder is at most annoying and very dangerous ailment; but many most remarkable cures have of late been wrought by "Kennedy's Fa- vorite Remedy''-the invention of Dr. Kennedy of Rondout, N. Y. Another striking case is now added to the list MT. Peter Lawler of Dalton Mass states in letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with bladder complaint for IA years and had consulted at different times seven physicians but nothing be- yond temporary alignment of the pain had been work ed for him. Towards the end of last January MT Lawier called on Dr. Kennedy. Sounding him, the doctor 'struck stone." He decided that MT. Lawler should first try the Favorite Remedy" as, if pos sbe, to avoid operation. And here is the remark able result:' Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely now. If you would like to see the stones will send them to you.' This letter bears date "Daton, Mass, Feb G." and is signed ."Peter Lawler." The stones, which large as to warrant for "Kenne. dy's Favorite Remedy the claim that is the most successful specific for stone yet discovered are now in Dr. Kennedy's possession. Incidentally Mir. Law Ter also states that the Favorte Remedy at the same time cured him of stubborn case of rheumatism and it is fact that in all affections arising out o disorders of the liver urinary organs it is search ing remedy and works marvellous benefits It is ir itself almost medicine chest Order it of your drug gst.

An Indian War Made ImpOsSi-
BILE.

For many years, the Indian question
has been one of the most difficult with
which American statesmen have been
called upon to deal and, for all that
appears on the surface, it may continue
so to be for many years to come. There
is one way, however, in which that
question is being quietly solved, by
the agency, namely, of the Indian
schools. The latest report of the com
missioner of Indian affairs shows that,
exclusive of the five tribes already civ
ilized, the whole number of Indian
pupils attending school during 1882
was SAP. OF these, 476 were in at
tendance ut the Carlisle, Hampton. and
Forest Grove training schools, 3,937
attended reservation boarding schools,
and 1899 reservation day schools.
These figures have been steadily ad-
vancing since 1877, when they stood at
6,Ol9. These schools not only provide
an English education for their pupils.
but they train them in various branch
es of skilled workmanship and this
part of the work is receiving more and
more attention at both the training and
the reservation schools. Thus, "at
Ssll llSlt anu blOilg lut
in the various shops have not only at
tended To the large amount of repair
ing, building, and furnishing required
at the schools, but have manufactured
for use, at the various Indian agencies,
253 sets of double harness, l3 wagons
and buggy, 1000 pairs of shoes, and
l4,72l articles of tinwarc. The
apprentices to the trades of black
smith, carpenter, printer, shoemaker.
tinSmith, wheelwright, painter, butch
er, tailor, saddler, and baker have
numbered 1873. The energies of the
rest of the boys were devoted to farm
work" 1t is unfortunate that the work
of most of the schools should be hamp-
cred by want of money and other gov
ernment aid. Since the iSSuing of the
report, the secretary of the interior and
the commissioner of Indian affairs.
with other friends of Indian education,
visited the Indian training school at
Carlisle, Pennsylvania, which is under
the charge of Captain Pratt The
members of the party expressed their
surprise and qualification at the prog
gess made 10y the pupils of that institu-
tion. The general air of the school is
one of respectable poverty. Order and
neatness prevail, and no comfort is
lacking. The crying need OF
the place is farm, to be owned by the
government and cared for by the boys
and girls, under the instruction of a
practical farmer. Captain Pratt has
rented Il farm for this purpose but il
is at Il distance, and it is said not to be
suitable for the purpose" After the
visit, the secretary of the interior an
nounced that he was about to establish
an Indian school in Kansas. Forty
such schools as that ut Carlisle, he
said, would make an Indian war inn
possible.

The Democrats ATraigned by
an independents.

In relation to almost every great
public question, pending its settlement,
their alleged party has presented the
spectacle of an organized cOntradic-
tiOn, or of two horses tied together by
the tails going i'll opposite directions.
Whenever it has not exhibited this alb
surdity, its wire pulling directory have
either lodged or been on the wrong
side. The explanation of this is in the
fact that the thing called democratic
party has not been free formation of
men around great public questions
that is, has not been political party
but has been merely Il continuing rOs-
ter of party officers drumming for re-
cruits for the next election. These
party drummers have not been, as a
rule, men of fixed principles, intelli-
gent opinions, or positive purposes in
relation to public questions, but dema-
gOgues whose supreme aim has been
to advance their own fortunes by using
the electors as means to that end.
Wherefore, they have treated public
questions not aS men having personal
convictions or high public aims would
treat them, but as means of swelling
| the regiments, armed with voting pa
pers, whose Obedient sutfrages might
increase their political stock in trade
Wherefore, in Pennsylvania they have
been prOtectiOnists, in Illinois free
traders, in New York bullionists, in In
diana "Greenbackers," praying contin-
ually good Lord or good devil, as the
time, the place, the occasion might
seem to require for the enlistment of
voters for ''the campaign" of office get
timg-the end and aim of "the party"
Wherefore, to catch voters at the west,
they declared lin lS5O) ''revenue tar
if only" to he their aim; and where
fore, to catch voters in Pennsylvania,
they at the same time named for their
"standard- bearer" a Pennsylvania pro-
tectiOnist who wrote letter repudi-
ating the revenue-only platform. As
if to render the farce still more ridicu-
lous, after carrying their revenue-t tariff
cOlOrs through the canvass at the west,
no sooner did they enter New York
and Pennsylvania than they ran away
from them in IA Bull Run panic. Car
ter Harrison says they would do the
same in 1854 Is there the slightest
reason to doubt it ? Is any one credu-
lOus enough to think that the trimming z
Bayards, NoOrheeses, fuckers, ct al,
who compose the party staff, would
stand in an getting scrimmagc
for honest convictions or positive pur-
poses of any sort III relation to the tar

ton If so, he does not know the dem

Forgotten soon as uttered
And yet the word had power.

Lit on a soul which gave it room,
