Capt. F. W. Dawson. editor of the Charles
ton News and Courier, who has just been
knighted by the pope in recognition of his
opposition to duelling, is an Englishman by
birth. The distinction conferred upon him
is largely due to the efforts of the late and

done to break up the "code of honor,' be-
sought the pope to grant him some distin-
gushing mark of approval.

lima three each, and New York, Connecticut,
Ohio, South Carolina and Georgia one each.

The other day the Boston Advertiser gent
ly rebuked Republican papers which were
disposed to see any sectional significance in
the selection of Mr.. Carlisle as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Speaker, and referred
to him as Southern Union man during the
war. However that may have been, we
shall have no great confidence in the quality
of the Union sentiment of man who as
late as 1876 would say as Mr.. Carlisle said
when Democratic candidate for Con-
sress: 81 deny that the United States is
nation. 1t is vicious system that has de-
stroyed sovereign States and oppressed nine
millions of people in the South. If State
has no right of secession, she certainly has
the right of revolution"

The fatal rapidity with which slight
Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the grayest maladies of the throat
and lungs, is consideration which should
impel every prudent person to keep at

AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
Nothing else gives such immediate relief
and works SO sure cure in all affections
of this class. That eminent physician,
Prof. f. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says
"Medical science has produced no other ano-
dyne expectorant SO good as Ayers CHERRY
PICTORIAL. Ii is invaluable for diseases of the
throat and lungs"
The same opinion is expressed by the
Well-Lnown DR.. L. j. Addison, of Chicago,
ILL.,, who says
81 have never found, in thirty five years of
continuous study and practice of medicine, any
preparation of so great value as Ayers CHERRY

The Boston Advertiser calls to mind the
fact that the distribution of money from the
National Treasury to the States in 1886 was
not gift such as Mr., Blaine proposes, but
only deposit. The act directed that State
Treasurers or other competent authorities
should receive the money after giving GER
tifcates of deposit to the Secretary of the
Treasury, which certificates were to be a
:pledge of the faith of the State for the
safe-keeping and repayment thereof" The
Legislature of Massachusetts provided for
the repayment by towns of the money so re-
ceived in case the United States demanded
the return of the deposit,

One of the fruits of the strike of telegraph
ers last summer is the bill for establishing a
government telegraph service as a branch of
the postal service which Mr.. Edmunds in
troduced On Tuesday. The President does
not favor such a service; and unquestiona-
bly, The reasons against it are strong Ones
One of the most important of them, that it
would greatly increase the force of govern
ment employees, and thus greatly increase
the power of She administration machine in
party contests, would be done away with by
the application of the new civil service rules
in the appointments to places in this service.
Senator Edmunds is strong supporter of
any cause, and If he is convinced that gov
eminent telegraph service ought to be estab-
lished he will urge the scheme with power.

The New York Sun thinks thinks the
choice of Carlisle and the committal of the
Democratic party to the Watterson anti-tar-
if policy is suicidal. 1t says:
The judgment of sober men will be that In the
present temper of the public mind, neither New
York nor Connecticut nor New Jersey nor Indiana

Louisiana will certainly vote against It, and Georgia

only States that surely be relied npon to give

Cherry PectoraI

Is not a new claimant for popular conf
dence, but a medicine which is to-day
saving the lives of the third generation
who have come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There is not O household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not person
who has ever given it proper trial
for any throat or lung disease suscep-
tible of cure, who has not been made
well by it,.
AyER's CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Larnygitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t is q
medicine that only requires to be taken in
small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and is
needed in every house where there are
children, as there is nothing SO good as
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL for treat
ment of Group and Whooping Cough.
These are all plain facts, which can be
verified by anybody, and should be re-
membered by everybody.

close and warm, and threatening rain.
The election is passing off quietly. No
disturbances reported, aud up to noon a
very light vote polled.

weather to-day is fac and the indica-
tions are that a much larger vote will
lie polled In the state than anticipated

regular one between republicans and
democrats.
Candidates on the state ticket are
Jerome B. Miles. republican, and Rob

Wm. Lindsey, republican, and Joseph

The g%reenback and prohibition parties

combined vote Of Beaver, republican, nd
Stewart, independent, will be set
against that OF Pattison, democrat, so
that gains for the democrats to day will

The democrats will have to gam some
1000 on a full vote in order to elect
their ticket to-day.
In the city the interest centers chiefly
on the controllership. S. Davis Page,
democrat, has been endorsed by the
committee of one hundred for that
office, while Harper E. Jeffries is run

st. Paul, November 6..-The election
in this state to-day is for governor,
lieutenant governor, secretary of state,
treasurer. attorney general and rail
road commissioner. Each county
also elects II portion of their officers
II is a beautiful day and unusually
large vote is being polled. The main
fight is between the candidates for gov
trnor. The Tepubl cans have re-nom-
mated the entire present state officials,
with Governor Hubbard at the head of
the ticket. The democrats have NOM
mated a Norwegian named A. Bier
mann. and as over four-ffths of the re-
publican votes in this state are of that
nationality, the democrats hope to
make u clnse fyht for the Office. Gov
ernor Hubbard had a maj )Tity Of 90
900 last time and leading republicans
claim a majority of 10000 for him this
time. A few democrats concede him
no more than 5000.

Malone says: At midnight, from re-

ton in this state has been the most ex-
acting since 1869. when the conserva-
tive party was organized. Half the
senate and the entire house of delegates
is elected. This legislature decides the
state for congressional representation

departments. The new senators will

Three coalition candidates and four re-
publicans are probably elected in the
contested districts. The republicans
have elected three out Of four Of the
regents of the university. Returns are
coming very slow. Indications are
that the a~nti-monopoly vote is nearly
as heavy as last year. This county will
give Savage, the coalition candidate for
supreme Judge, over fifteen hundred
majority, and at the same time the re-
pnblicans carry the local county ticket.
