An Inventor's Advice.

George Stevenson when advising young
men how to get on would finish by saying
d" Do as have done-pcrseyere." For iif-
teen years he plodded and worked before

tive. In as many days those persevering in
the use Of DR.. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery" have experienced great relief
and found themselves on the high road to
health. Liver complaints, impure blood
chronic lung diseases and many Others
yield to its healing influences never to re-
turn. All druggists.

WHERE would the money come
from to help the states in educa-
ton ? enquiries the bourbon. 1t
would come from receipts of Gus
toms on imported goods, which is
protection to American industry
and production. And it would
come from that class of people who
are too proud or jackassical to
wear our own goods or even en-
courage any home labor, not ex-
cepting that which furnishes the
raw material. The public debt
being reduced, we need less money
for that, and hence we have a sur
plus. Let protection 60 on, and
the surplus be divided among the
states for education. Jackson was
a democrat. AS president he rec.
commended protection and the
distribution of the surplus among
the states to build roads. The
principle is the same. Who then
is too good a democrat to support
Blaine'S views.

An Egyptian Custom.

1t is stated that the ancient
Egyptians when they feasted al
ways had a skeleton at the table
with them. This was for the pur-
pose of reminding them that even
in the midst of mirth and revelry
death was apt to come. Let him
come when he will and he is
unwelcomc. The Egyptians sought
to teach that all should prepare
for the grin monster and be ready
to follow him, let him call when he
would. The lesson can well be
remembered to-day All should
live prepared to die atany moment,
and all should learn now while in
the full enjoyment of wealth and
its pleasures that Peruna is the
greatest remedy in the world for
the diseases to which flesh is heir.
1t can be procured at any drug
store. Ask your druggist for
Peruna, the great tonic.

THAT wonderful paper, known as
the Dispatch, wonders how General
Hawley could have the impudence
to speak in Virginia after voting
against the Blair educational bill.
When we reflect that the republi-
can senate passed the bill with only
two republican votes against it,
and that by its provisions Virginia
would have received about $780,
600 annually from the federal
government for her free schools,
and that democratic house with
its seventy majority let it sleep the
sleep of death without seeming TO
notice that it was on the speakers
table for their action, we wonder
how such goOdy papers can tolerate
speeches from the democratic can
vassers and the democratic men,
bers from Virginia who were in
that house and opened not their
mouth.

Benz, F. Butler who, we were all
wont to call "spooney" Butler, was
a member of the Cleveland conven-
ton, and bourbonism, Dragged how
he would carry Massachusetts for
them. Since then, Ben has conclu-
ded to accept the anti-m OnOpOlist
nomination and run himself, and
has written his letter of acceptance.
This is the way the Washington
Post makes mouths at the sour
grapes:
The State of Massachusetts would
in all probability, have gone for
Blaine if Gen. Butler had kept his
pledge to support the Democratic
ticket, for although the Massachu-
sets Republicans dislike Blaine,
and for good reasons, the Indepen-
dent movement is scarcely strong
enough to give Cleveland major
ity, even with a united DemOcra-
cy.
And this is the way old Cockcye
deals in a single paragraph with
Cleveland and the Convention:
The convention for reasons, and
under circumstances that | have
hereinbefore stated, rejected your
principles, spurned your platform,
and instead of taking any states
man of the Democracy, nominated
as your candidate a gentleman
whom two years ago there were not
forty voters in your ranks knew
| lived on earth. 1t cannot be bound
by the action Of such a convention.

four of them are lawyers. Old

The Virginia Legislature.

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. 15.-The
general assembly to-day passed a
resolution providing for special
Iioint committee to examine into
the status of the election laws OF
the state and ascertain if any legis-
lation is necessary to perfect OF
change the election machinery, and
to report by bill or otherwise. In
the house a bill was passed by
unanimous vote amending and de-
claring the true intent of the Rid.
dleberger debt bill, so ITO counter
act the recent decision of Judge
Hughes authorizing the funding OF
the coupons maturing since July l,
1882. The present bill provides
that no bonds of the state shall be
given for any coupons or interest
maturing after the LIST of July,
1882. 1t fixes that time as the date
of exchange Of the several classes
Of bonds mentioned in the Riddle
berger bill.
Since the decision of Judge
Hughes was rendered on Tuesday
last coupons at the rate of over
100000 daily have been presented
to the second auditor for funding,
and that officer has only delayed
doing so for the reason that a
mandamus has not yet been served
upon him. There are now in ex-
istence nearly S2,500,000 of these
coupons which, but for this act,
would no doubt be speedily funded
dollar for dollar, and thus be made
part of the principal Of the debt.
The persons funding are required
to produce with their old bonds all
the coupons maturing since July
l, 1882, or their equivalent, and
they receive in exchange Riddle
berger bonds bearing Interests
from July 1, 1882. The bill Will
doubtless be promptly passed by
the senate tomorrow and as
promptly thereafter acted upon by
the governor. This action alone
seems to justify the Opportune
presence of the general assembly in
extra seSsian preventing, as it does,
such a large increase Of the princi-
pal of the debt.
The above is very we'll put, and
we should all be obliged for the
promptness with which these
gentlemen acted. But if they had
not passed their silly license tax
bill under pretext Of aiding the
debt settlement, when the funding
was going on rapidly, thereby
plunging the coupon killers back
into Bonds unfriendly hands, we
should have been spared the ABB" Il
decision which they cured. l. =
ever, we are glad they found some
thing proper to be done, that they
may excuse themselves for failure
last winter.
