 WoTthy Gentlemen Ut is with feeling of gra- htude seat myself to write you this letter.

She began to take your remedies according to direc- tions, and we immediately saw great improvement in all her symptoms She was soon free from her cough, and began to gain in flesh rapidly. At this date she is perfectly well.

During the winter season, if speak much in public, often suffer from It. but your PULMoNIC SYRUP gives me immediate relief and strengthens my voice.
 Since my wife's cure have recommended 1t to many of my neighbors, who have used 1t with great benefit in coughs and colds. Yours truly,

 The Chicago Times commenting on Senator Pehdlston's recent significant utterance in regard to civil service reform pertinently says This states the hope of those who seek to put an end to the degrading practice of government by patronage very strongly, more strongly, there is some reason to fear, than the conditions warrant There is not an atom of rational ground for the opinion that the spells system will <<cease to be poss1biI ity,'' or probability, under the average President, u ztil the Presidency itself has been lifted out of the contending arena of partyism and established on firm basis of constitutional independence. To that, the most important part of the great work before them, the administrative reformers cannot too soon turn their attention and direct their efforts If the decennial Presidency is to be established before the close of Cleyeland's reign (and that is what the words of Mir. Pendleton import), orderly steps toward that end should be taken at once
 Some of the London correspondents point out that the hard times in other countries are causing as much anxiety and discussion as the hard times here. Especially in England, where the strife and competition for new markets is eager and persistent, is the thought of having to consider the United States as commercial rival in the worlds market extremely disquieting. French and English merchants are considerably alarmed over the reciprocity treaties which tIs gov ernment is now considering ''It is seen quite clearly here," writes London corre- spondent, F'that such steps contem- plated threaten the supremacy of Europeans in markets hitherto their own and that once the stimulus of keen competition is given to American inventive and trading energy, a gradual lowering of the American tariff will provide no adequate offset for their loss of markets elsewhere. The English see in this movement the probable alienation of Canada when offers of reciprocity are turned north ward''

UNITED STATES SENATOR COKE, Of
Texas, has a remarkably powerful voice,
and it is said that when he was discuss

his throttle valve wide open, the boy
pages put COTTON in their ears and
wedged the window shades to keep
them from rafting and breaking the
glass. At the climax OF his vocifera-

to speak so that the whole country

A LOUISIANA Judge has lust GOV

A LOUISIANA judge has just covered
himself with notoriety, if not glory, by
a decision worthy of Dogberry. The
manager of a lottery company was Oh
trial for violating the United States law
forbidding the sending of natter refer
ring to a lottery through the mails. The
statute prohibits such matter to be sent
through the mails, or to be deposited
III the postoffce to be so sent" 1t was
claimed that the defendant only sent
the Objectionable letters and circulars
from his Office to the postofiice-that
he neither sent them through the mails,
nor deposited in the postofice to be so
sent. The judge allowed this extraor-
binary plea, saying that the sending"
forbidden by the statute was clearly the
sending from the postoffice to the destl-
nation AS the postofice department
did this and not the defendant. and as
the latter did not himself deposit the
letters, he could not be held. Conse-
quently the Indictment was squashed

TX his lecture on Mormunism. leliy

IL his lecture on Mormonism, deliy-
cred in Chicago last Sunday, Rev. JOS
eph Cook said that an intelligent writer
of Salt Lake City, in letter which lies
before me, tells this story A few
years ago an educated journalist came
to Salt Lake City from Europe with his
young wife. Both became sincere be-
levers in Mormonisln. Then strong
pressure was brought to bear by the
priesthood upon the husband to force
him into polygamy. The wife, finding
opposition in vain. at last gave her NOM
imal consent. \ second bride was
brought into the house. In short time
the first wife became a mother, but the
infant never cried aloud. 1t came voice
less into the world But it wcpt in Sc
cret all the time. Sleeping or waking
the tears flowed from its closed eyes,
and in few weeks it died. The moth
err said it died of broken heart. Every
day of its life it shed the tears it's moth
or had repressed before its birth. Its
weeping face is symbol of the face of
Utah. A territory Of precious minerals
and wealth Of soil, with Intoxicating air
and blue sky, but filled with silent woe.

THE Omaha Bee of yesterday head:
an article upon its local page "a Big
Rail Rumor.'' It follows up 10y saying
that Il rumor was current upon the
streets Of that city that the c., B. & O.
railroad had gob5lcd up the Z. P. road.
There may be some foundation for this.
U. p. stock has been upon the decline
for some time and it is possible that the
G, Il. d Q. people have bought up
enough stock at low fsnres to give it a
controlling interest. Should this prove
to be fact it will make considerable
stir in Iowa road circles, and it would
be possible for the @. to dictate terms
to all Iowa roads.

From the appearance Of the poiitica
horoscope, the contest at Chicago will
be short and decisive 1t is question
if any of the lesser candidates will ap-
pear at the first ballot except Sherman
and Logan, representing sixty votes
more OF less. 1t is probable that the
relative strength of Arthur and Blaine
will be equal enough to give these
sixty votes balance of power But
it is not probable that they can be held
together very long, and there Is at
present IA likelihood that business will
commence in earnest alter the first
ballot.-Journal

THE decline in stocks continues until
the smartest of those posted in the spec
ial line of fnanccering are at loss to
know why. The first few weeks of de-
cline is understood as the squeezing
out of the water that was in the stocks.
But now it has gone beyond that The
best of dividend paying stocks are de-
clining. The end will be that gambling
in these things, margins-dealing, and
all this speculation on hypothecated
property will cease and we will get
down to he'd rock and safety.

as now prevails. Tie outrageous state
of affairs is due to the inefficicncy of

own way and virtually run the tawn.
In every city there is a certaia per cent
age of the population made up Of the

now compose an undue proportion OF
the population. The outlaws are attract
ed here by the fact that they can do

business house being burglarizcd. The
crooks operate boldly and without fear
They must be known to the police who
can easily run them in as suspicious
characters. They can then be driven
out of town without difficulty. Why
this Is not done is one of the things
that we have not yet been able to find
out. The city marshal has it in his
power to weed out the crooks, but we
have long since given up all hope Of
his ever performing his duty. 1t is
about time the citizens take this matter

THERE is one thing that can be said
in favor of the western railroads. and
that is they pay their employees prompt
ly each month. This is doing a great
deal better than some of the eastern
railroads. Take, for instance, the New
Jersey Central, the Lehigh, and Sus-
quehanna. They have not yet paid all
their men for the month of April, and
some of the roads have not yet paid for
the month of March. The holding back
Of the pay of the workingmer must Ger
tainly work great hardship, and cause
dull times all along these roads. Were
the Union Pacific, the B. & NJ, and
other roads centering here, to pursue
such course, Omaha would feel it,
and times would consequently be very
dull. The circulation of the money that
is promptly paid out each month by our
railroads helps the local trade wonder
fully, and pay day is always looked for
ward to with pleasure, as the men know
they will not be disappointed.-Bee.
