HALF OUT of HIS HEAD !

"Blessed be the man," said Don Quixotes
weary squire, 'who invented Sleep" Sancho's
gratitude is ours, but what if one cannot for any
reason enjoy that excellent invention? "Ner
vousness in me had become q disease" writes
Mr.. William Colman, the well known wholesale
druggist of Buffalo,N. Y. 81 could not sleep, and
my nights were either passed in that sort of
restlessness which nearly craZes a man, or in
kind of stupor, haunted by tormenting dreams.
Having taken Parker's Tonic for other troubles,
prised and delighted me. My nerves were toned
into the, ranks of those who sleep o. nights L
should add that the tonic speedily did away
with the condition of general debility and dys-
pepsia occasioned by my previous sleeplessness,
and gave me strength and perfect digestion. In
brief, the of the tonic thoroughly re-estab-
lished my health. / have used Parker's Tonic
with entire success for sea sickness and for the
bowel disorders incident to ocean voyages"
This preparation, which has been known as
Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be adver.
tised and sold simply under the name of Parkers
Tonic-omitting the word ginger" HiscoX &
Co. are induced to make this change by the
ton of unprincipled dealers who have for years
deceived their customers by substituting lnferi
or articles under the name of ginger, and as gin
ger is really an unimportant ingredient, we drop
the misleading word. There is no change, how
ever in the preparation itself, and all bottles
naming In the hands of dealers, wrapped under
the name of Parker's Ginger Tonic contain the
genuine medicine if the fac smile signature of
HIsCOX & Co. is at the bottom of the outside
wrapper.

The Democratic party has placed
in nomination for the Presidency
Gov. Cleveland, of New York, and
Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indianna,
for the second place. Hendricks
nomination was the fruit of a desire
for the ''old ticket" while Cleveland's,
we are led to think was because of his
tendency to free trade and populari-
ty with the monopolies- Hendricks
has been before the country for q
long time, while Cleveland is little
known out of his own State. The
former, during the war, and while in
the United States Senate. openly ex-
pressed his sympathy with the south
ern cause, and very likely still feels
that way. We do not expect they
will be elected; neither should we
expect to see the country ruined If
they were.

POLITICAL.

The Independent Republicans of
Pennsylvania are preparing an adj
dress to the people in favor of Blaine
and Logan.
Judge F. Wickham, of Norwalk,
O., says "Ohio is Blaine State all
over. We shall give him almost any
majority up to 10000"
Wayne McVeagh announces that he
is ''out of politics" His last public
appearance will reconcile people to
his staying out.
The Missouri Republicans hope this
fall to break the solid Bourbon dele
CATION to Congress from that State
and contribute at least two Congress
men towards a Republican majority
in the next House. The first and
fourth districts offer the best pros
poets for doing this.
Secretary Chambers busy mind
fluids occupation just now In trying to
secure the reversion of Senator Blalr's
old shoes. Blair's term expires next
March. The Secretary Of the Navy
will not have q walk-over as Senator
Blair, ex-Senators Rollins and Pat
terson, and Representative Ray are in
the race.
A "Blaine Democrat" writes the
Holyoke transcript that he is conf
dent that $50 Irish Americans in that
city will vote for Blaine
The New Bedford Standard says
that Rev. James Freeman Clarke's
objection to Mr.. Blaine appears to be
that if elected he will not thwart
the popular will, which is strange
idea in this country.
Reports from all parts Of Massa-
chusetts indicate that the outlook for
the Republicans is most hopeful. The
Independents have done their utmost !;
and, for what free traders, etc., go to
the Democratic party, two votes will
be gained for Blaine with such can
didate as Cleveland.
Several prominent Greenbackers in
Oxford county, Maine, have declared
for Blaine.
Our Independent friends do not OBJ
iect to the odious unit rule when it is
used to force their favorite upon a
large minority.
The Republican anti-Blaine under
current in Maine is the theme of the
Advertiser and Herald. 1t is so far
under that it will never be heard of.
The New York Sun continues to
give It's Democratic friends some good
advice. Under the caption 1.-The
Bottom Facts" the San remarks :
1.-The Democratic party cannot afford
to indulge in any illusions as to the
kind of campaign they are going to
have this year. Because a number
of Republicans in Massachusetts and
New York refuse to support Blaine,
it must not be supposed that on that
account the Democrats are sure OF
defeating him. The detection in
Massachusetts is not likely to be
great enough to make that State Dem
ocratic. The detection in New York
has yet to show itself in significant
proportions in the strong Republican
districts. The notorious fact that
many of the Republicans opposed to
him are avowed free traders, will
make the rest of the party, protec-
zionist, and if anything, work the
harder for his success. He is, and is
put forward as, the representative of
the protective system, in case it shall
be found practicable, during the can
vass to elect him, to force that ques-
ton to the front as the determining
issue.

The Opposition to Gov. Cleveland.

That the opposition to the nomina-
ton Of Gov. Cleveland is formidable
even outside of Tammany Hall is APP
parent to those who read any consid-
cradle number of newspapers. The
New York Sun, for instance, is an
ultra Democratic paper. Moreover,
it is conducted by men who know the
popular sentiment in New York.
There has not been an issue of late
in which there has not been some
warning to the Democratic conven-
ton not to nominate Governor Cleve-
land. Columns of extracts might be
given, but one or two will suffice. A
few days ago the following appeared:
''Mr. Cleveland may yet be nominated,
for the machine seems to be set quite
strongly in his favor: but it will be a
graver calamity to the Democracy of this
State than was the nomination of Hor-
ace Greeley in 1872"
And again we find the following
emphatic declaration and warning:
''In 1884 it is again proposed to nomi-
nate candidate for the purpose of Sc
curing what is now called the Indepen-
dent Republican vote. and Grover Cleve-
land. man not qualified to be President,
and himself an extreme Independent,
though a Democrat in name, has been
picked out for this purpose. If Mr..
Cleveland should finally come forth as
the candidate Of the Chicago convention
he will appear upon the stage bearing the
mark of destiny, and that destiny will
be defeat. At the same time the disas-
ter will be most pernicious in its effect
upon the Democracy"
1t is being industriously circulated
that the hostility to Governor Cleve-
land in New York is confined to
Tammany Hall. The San declares
that this is a delusion. A few days
ago the Boston Pilot said:
'Cleveland represents the narrowest
and most selfish class in American social
and public life. He is of those who dis
trust the common people. He advises
only with the wealthy and the conserv-
ers of wealth. The wOrkingmen of his
own State dislike and distrust him, and
will not vote for him. He knows moth
ing of important public life or men. He
has not single quality large enough to
lit him for the Presidency of the United
States"

Blaine on Office Holding.

Mr.. Blaine's ideas upon the term
of office are commendable. In 1882
he promulgated his ideas in speech
at Winterport, giving his views of the
whole matter of office holding, COM
monty called civil service reform. He
would see appointments to office made
for specific term, during which the
incumbent should not be removed
without cause that cause to be spec
flied, proven and recorded. A term
of office longer than the Presidential
term would suit him best. On the
whole he favors one of seven years,
which would be of sufficient length
and would effect the desired end. AS
for life term of office, he does not
believe it wise and he does not gener-
ally believe in it, nor does he consid-
er it practicable either.
1t is impracticable because it means
pension in the end, and might lead to
the creation of a privileged class, and
again it is questionable with him
whether a life tenure would insure
most faithful service, but on the other
hand he believes that man would be
a better officer if his commission ex-
pired at stated periods coming not
too soon, and reappointment depend
ed on his efficiency. In his opinion it
would prove a much easier task to
educate public opinion up to the re-
ward by appointments of efficient and
valuable officers with sufficient pay to
live on and lay by something for the
future, than it would be to procure
public consent to life tenures, with
pension for large civil list and con-
stantly growing in number and con-
stantly provoking hostility in the pop
ular mind. This system he thinks is
a belonging of royalty ard he doubts
it's domestication in this republic.
Nor does he believe that the agita-
ton of the life tenure system will ever
come to a practical result. Mr..
Blaine's views are now up for consid-
Grafton.

Sunstrokes have not been numer-
Gus this year, Notwithstanding the OPP
pressive heat, yet it is well to know
different forms of remedy in case of
emergency. A simple method rec
commended in New York and New
Orleans is to place the patient in
sitting position in the shade, loosen
the collar, throw ice cold water over
the head and give a stiff dose of es-
sence of Jamaica ginger, say an
ounce or more, in half glass of
water. The oppression on the brain
is relieved by the cold water and the
ginger prevents anemia, or lack of
blood by stimulating the vessels.

The Republican candidate is a
strong protectionist, in which respect
he is in full accord with the great
bulk of the American people. More
over he is the champion of the move
ment looking toward a revival of
American shipping. If the election
of Mr.. Blaine, the leading American
protectionist, to the presidency is to
be the signal of a 'revival of Amer
lean shipping" the outlook for our
merchant navy becomes the reverse
of hopeful. Mr.. Blaine, the protec-
zionist candidate, is undoubtedly the
choice of the great bulk of Republi-
can voters, who laugh st the idea of
being dictated to by the "mashers" in
American politics.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thicknessfor engraving and polishing,
a large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stifen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case ~ v,,v
which saves the WASTE of need : D
less gold, and INCREASES the soL1DITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

The Washington monument has

and seventy-five feet, and to-day the
shift of the mechanical toggery, which
becomes necessary upon the compile
ton of each twenty-five feet, is being
