tain cure for Fever and Aguc, Chills
and Fever, intermittent or Chill
Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague.
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and ali
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue,
thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in
the back and loins, and GOODNESS of the
spine and eXtremities, are only premoni-
tions Of severer symptoms which ter1nin-
ate in the ague paroXysm, succeeded by
high fever and profuse pcrspiratiOn.
1t is a startling fact, that quinine. ar
senic, and other poisonous minerals form
the basis of most of the Fever and Ague
Preparations,' "Specifcs," "Syrups,"
and "Tonics," in the market. The prep
arations made from these mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leave tho
malarial and their own drug poison in
the system, producing quinism, dizziness,
ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than
the disease they were intended to cure.
AYERS AGUE CURE thoroughly eradicates
these noxious poisons from the system,
and always cures the severcst cases. 1t
coHtstI!iS 10 VuiIlue, llilueIll, OF any CnlnS

its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the

CURE, by direct action on the liver and

A Contingency That May Happen.

Politicians who are now skirmishing z
fer third party for the Presidential
contest have probably forgotten the
complexion Of the present House OF
Representatives., which would elect a
President in case of failure at the
ballot box. Ia such a contingency the
vote is taken by States, the majority
of delegation controlling the State.
These States are Democratic: Ala.
bama, Arkansas. California, Connecti-
cut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Ken
tucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New
York, North Carolina, Ohio, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Vir-
ginia and Wisconsin-22.
These States are Republican: Col
orado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Massachusetts,, Minnesota, Nebraska,
New Hampshire, New Jersey Oregon
Pen nsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont,
Virginia-15.
Flerida, divided-1.
The most noticeable fact in this rec
ord is that the Democratic States in
clude every part of the Union, and all
its extremes, North and South, East
and West. This is the first time since
the civil war when the strength Of that
party has been distributed over 80 vast
an area. California, Connecticut, In.
diana, Michigan, Nevada, New York,
Ohio and Wisconsin speak for the
North. The old sectional lines are
gone.-[N. Y. Sun.

THE FARCE ENDED.

The star Route Thieves Acquitted.
The great national comedy Of errors
has come 10 an end. and the rascals
who furnished the Republicans "soap"
to run their machine in 1880 have
boon acquitted. On Thursday morn
ing the star route jury appeared In
court and returned a verdict OF not
guilty against the defendants, who
have been on trial for the past six
months on an indictment for conspir-
acy to defraud the government.
The court room was crowded. Brady
aud Dorsey were present, as we'll as
the attorneys for the defense and the
legal luminaries who have spun ou,
the case for the government so long at
800 day. There was not much sur
prise felt at the verdict. The case has
been so shockingly mismanaged by
the government 500 day lawy ers
and jury of incapables allowed to sit
in the case, that few expected an sc-
quittal, although most expected a dis
agreement. Instead Of that, the jury
has found Brady, Dorsey and the rest,
not guilty, and the eminent Republl-
cans who defrauded and robbed the
government go free. Dorsey and Bra.
dy We're warmly congratulated by their
friends.
That ia the way the Republicans
punish their own rascals.

Sound Counsel to Young MEN.

Fergus Falls Telegram.
To the young men of this place, or
any ether: A woman's reputation is
easily soiled. A though tless word, an
ill-timed jest, spoken in the billiard
hall or club room, has been magnified
by malicious minds until the cloud has
become dark enough to overshadew
her whole existence. Then, young
men, never use lady's name in an
improper place, at no improper time,
nor make any assertions about her
that you think are untrue, or illusions
that you feel she herself would blush
to hear. Ever respect the name of a
woman, for your mother and sisters
are women, and as you would hay Q
their names untarnished, and their
lives uns mbittered by the slanderer's
biting tongIie, heed the ill that your
own words may bring upon the moth
er, the sister, or the wife, grandmother
or second cousin OF some other fellow
creature. How easy 1t is for young
mon, aud we may say married men
also, TO gather in club or billiard
room and say some sl&nderous words
in regard to some innocent wife or
sister. Nine-tenths of the same young
men, if they should hear a slanderous
word spoken about their wife or sister,
would knock the man down that said
it. Why not respect the women for
your mothers sake?

Wool is the only article produced
by the farmer upon which he derived
any benefit from the go called protect
i've tariff system of the Republicans,
and in renodelipg the tariff last Win
tor Congress, at the behest of the man.
ufacturing monopelists, who were able
to keep powerful lobby in attend
ance at the capitol, reduced the duties
on this staple, thus leaving the farm
ers out in the cold and at the same
time adding to his burthens by in
creasing the duties on wOolen fabrics.
The injustice Of this kind of legislation
is patent to the dullest comprehension
and 1t began to dawn upon the minds
of the Republican managers that they
put their foot in it," 30 at their
State Convention they resolved that
they are in favor of restoring the wool
tariff of 1867 at the earliestopportunity.
Is not the hypocricy Of their prsten-
tions to being the especial friends OF
the farmers and labOring mon ap'
parent.

THE census reports show that of the
10,000,000 votes cast for President in
1880, only 100000 were directly or.
indirectly interested in, protective
tariff. or these 100000 only about
800, 900 were proprietors or'bosses, who
received the principal part of the enor-.
NOUS subsidies the tariff law provides.
The other 100000 voters are directly
interested in the reduction of the tariff
10 revenue basis. The Republican
party is confessedly organized fe- the
purpose of taxing the whole people,
not only to raise revenue for the puE-
pose of meeting the expenses of the
Government, but for the enrichment
of the 300, 900 manufacturing barons in
whose sole interests protective tariffs
are instituted and maintained, and
such is their low estimate of tho intel
ligence of the people, and so confident
are they of their ability to deceive aud
bamboozle the people by their sense
less blarney about protecting home
industry" that they have made the
right to tax the many for the benefit
of the favored few, the chief corner
stone of their political creed, and they
boldly proclaim it to be the duty of the
Government to take from the earnings
OF all the other industries of the coun-
try to enrich the few privileged manu-
featuring monopolies. On the other
hand, the Democracy declare it to be
the duty of the Government to place
all kinds of labor upon an equal foot
ing, exacting from all emily so much
tribute as may be necessary for the
support of the Government economi-
cally administered, to the end that all
citizens may be protected in the enjoy
ment Of their equal rights. This is
the attitude of the two great parties OF
the country. Let the people choose
between them.

JUST how the farmer is benefited by
a protective tariff is one of those things
which 10 fellow can exactly find out.
An exchange truly says: With that
system the farmer buys under protec-
ton and sells under free trade. If free
trade is u bad thing the farmer gets all
the evil of it! If protection is good he
gets no advantage OF it. Every article
the agriculturist purchases is enhanced
in price by law OF Congress that seeks
to protect it against the pauper labor
of Europe, while all that the farmer
has to sell he sells abroad, with ne
protection against the worst form Of
pauRer labor iu Europe, that is, TN.
skilled labor on farms"

TEEkEBxE CALAMITY.
A Panic In " llIcL f7s ChEEdres are
Crushed IN sscata.

LONDON, june I6.--A terrible oaIsnl-
ity, involving the death Of l7S children
occurred in Sunderland, county Dur
ham, this evsning. From the details
received it appears that entertainments
were being given in Victoria HALL iy
= conjurer, attended almost altogether
by children, several thousand being in
attendance. The accident occurred at
the close of the performance. The
body OF the hall had been entirely
cleared of occupants, when some 200
of the little ones came rushing down
stairs from the gallery. At the top Of
the first flight of stairs was door
which opened only twenty inches, and
thus but one chiid was permitted to
| pass through at a tim0. AT this point,
while the mass of children were push-
ing forward, one OF them ieli and WAS
unable TO rise, owing To others crowd
ing. The result was that great num-
! Der were pushed down, trampled on
aud suifocated. The scene was terri
BILE; no effort could stop the mad rush
tof the ailrighted children. They came
on pelI-mell, though strangely without
much shouting, and soon IT'S were
knock ed down and suffOcated to death
by others trampipg upon them. A
greater number Of the bodies, which
were badly mangled from trampling,
lay seven or eight deep. Many of the
victims, and others who were not kill
cd, had the clothing torn from their
Bodies, and this, together with the
bleeding bodies of the unfortunstes
shows tho terrible nature of the strug-
gle. The ages OF the IT'S children
known to have been killed ranged from
four to fourteen years. The excitement
in the town when the news of the dis
aster spread WAS terrific. Great crowds
rushed to the scene, uatil 20, 600 per
sons surrounded the hall. The feeling
was 80 intense that the authorities Oh.
dered out the Sixty eighth Infantry te
preserve order. The work of getting
aut the bodies began Immediately
They were laid out in the hall, auC
parents of those killed were admitted
to identify the bodies OF their children
The most heartreuding scenes trans
pired while identification was in pro
gress. Mothers OF the dead children
constantly uttered piercing shrieks
and many tainted on discovering tn:
bodies of their little ones.
