all national pride, nor are thoy 80 wanting
in patriotism that thoy will calmly fold
their hands while their flag is swept from
the high seas, or compelled to hide Its glo-
rious folds while the pennons of second and
even third-rate nations are flaunted in our
very faces amid the jeers and sueers OF the
civilized world.
The people, from whose loins sprang tho
Perrys, the McDonoughs, the Decaturs, the
Portors, the Psrraguts, and the scores Of
others whose names are inscribed In the au-
nails of fame, and whose deeds of daring
and of glory have been tho theme of song
and story tho world over, have not lost their
pride Of race or of country, and they will
again demand that " Old Glory" shall once
moro float at tho masthead Of as gallant q
navy as ever plowed the bosom Of old
Ocean. If the Republicans are successful
at the polls in Novomber-of which there Is
now no doubt whateyer--James q. Blaine,
as President, with Republican Congress
TO back him, will exert all the power of the
Executive In rebuilding our Navy and
making 1t worthy to represent 60,0O0,000
of as proud freemen as ever swore fealty to
any standard, ancient or modern. The
Democrats will find that In their unthrif5y
and unpatriotic parsimony toward our Navy
they have not only dishonored their own
country In the eyes of all intelligent for
egners, but have also dug grave for them
selves so deep and profound that the hand
of resurrection will nc ver reach them.

IT IS not Democratic conventions alone
that commit or pepotuate six.storied blum
ders. Democratic candidates keep up with
the procession in the same line, and manage
to do it "unbeknownst' to themselves.
Even Hancock tipped'his fat into the fire
with the statement that "the tariff is To-
cal issue," and now Cleveland caps that
with the enunciation that tho "ofiice Of
President is essentially executive in its ma
ture," attempting thereby to dodge the
tariff issue by asserting that he, if Presi-
dent, would have nothing to do with tariff
tinkering. Suppose this to be so what of
it Grover Cleveland certainly has
reached some conclusions in regard to tho
questions of FREQ trade and protection to
American industry. What are they Is he
in favor of FREQ trade Or does he stand up
for American industry, and against the en-
croachments of the half.paid labor of
Europe7 He can answer these questions
just as easily as he can dodge aud paltor
with the people in double or doubtful
sense-will he do it? viii he say just
where he does stand If he can't define
his own position, will his managers do it for
him If they are honest men they will do
it at once. The people want light on this
dark subject, and they want it now. Will

ONE PAUL T, BOWEN, an employe of tho
Treasury Department, is evidently trying
to win for himself the crown Of a martyr
for opinions sake, or else his extraordinary
extraordinary in his own eyes only
have not secured for him proper appreci-
alton and promotion in the Fifteenth-streot
institution, and he has determined to sock
revenge with several capital RS at the
front end of said revenge, as tho chief viii
lain on the stage always pronounces 1t. Not
that Mr.. Bowen Is q chief villain, or, in
deed petty villain, even. He Is only one
of those lttle-very littlo-great mon of
whom thel world is not worthy, the said
world being so perslstently and deter
minedly purblined that it fails entirely to
perceive the incongruity and injustice of
permitting great statesmen like Brother
Bowen to wriggle around in little one
horse 81 600 place, when, If Justice were
done, and merit properly appreciated, ho
would be at the head Of tho Department,
with q fair prospect ahead that he will soon
be chosen to fill tho seat once filled by a
| Washington and a Lincoln. The call,
| when it comes, will not find our Bowen un-
prepared, Long ago he made up his al
legged mind that that was to DO his destiny,
and he has been giving his countrymen
specimens of his grave wisdom through the
columns Of Minnesota paper, in order that
they may not be unprepared either when
the call comes for Bowen to lead tho
Nation out of tho slough into which Re-
publican misrule has tumbled it. Our
Bowen can rest easy. He can slosh around
| in his own little way in perfect safety.

SOME OF our Democratic exchanges arc
putting forth some pretty severe jibes at
Secretary Chandler on account of the loss
of the Tallapoosa. Secretary Chandler IL
not responsible for the loss Of that vessel,
nor is President Arthur nor any Other otii-
Ger of the Administration. The Demo-
Gratis were fully informed Of the rotten
condition of our naval vessels two years
ago, and they refused to make any appro-
priation looking, or even squirting, toward
rebuilding our Navy aud putting it into a
serviceable condition. They justified their
refusal to make such appropriations on the
grovnd of economy two years ago. Last
winter they were afraid so they said, that
Bill Chandler would steal all the money
for political purposes, though there was no
more danger of the Secretary taking the
money than there is of Cleveland being
chosen President for he could not lay his
hands on the money even if he wanted to
it. But they refused the money and
the result Is that our naval vessels are be-
ing sent to Dayy Jones' locker by every
one-horse fishing smack that butts against
one of them.
The American people have always looked
with pride and exultation upon the heroic
achievements of our Navy in the past, aud
the feeling is not extinct by any means.
One of these days the Democrats who are
starving our Navy to death will be astound-
ed by a furious burst of popular indigna-
tion which will hurl them into an everlast-
ing retirement. The desertion of that party
by SO many native and foFeign-born voters
this summer is only the beginning Of the
end. The American people have not lost

TIE Hon. Thad c. Pound, an ex-Republ
can Congressman from Wisconsin, and a
man who has been otherwise honored by
the Republicans of his State, has come out
in long letter, announcing that be would
support Grover Cleveland for President.
And thereupon the whole Democratic
party shout with q loud shout of great
joy
Mr.. Thad G. Pound has au undoubted
right to make his choice of Presidential
ticket and support it by voice aud by pen.
And the Democrats have right to shout
over tho announcement that a Wisconsin
Republican will support Cleveland.
But won't the Republicans of Wisconsin
and the Northwest laugh with loud laugh
that will drown tho shouts of the Damo-
Gratis, when they see IL stated by the solemn
owls who edit Democratic papers, that "Mr.
Pound is perhaps the most distinguished
Republican in Wisconsin, and his opposition
to Mr.. Blaine will cause profound sensa.
tion throughout the Northwest
We venture to say that outside OF the
State of Wisconsin and the lumber regions
of Northern Minnesota there were not five
hundred people who at this day would have
Iecollected that there ever was such Con-
gresham as the Hon. Thad g. Pound il his
letter h,l not brought him to the front,
Mr.. Pound never did anything in Congress
| that would make him remembered outside
| Of his own district.
In his letter about Blaine, Pound says
reference to Blaine's Congressional record
relating to subsidies, class legislation, cor
porate exactions, etc, will readily satisfy
the honest inquirer of his uniform support
of monopolies and Indifference to the COM
mon veal"
| Mr.. Pound is nice mau--a very nice
man-to write the above. He was sent ia
| Congress and kept there as the representa-
tive of the giant lumber monopolics Of Wis
/ consin and Minnesota, and to prevent legis
lation which the people asked for, and
which the common veal" demanded. Aud
he succeeded. He kept legislation in such
shape as the lumber kings desired and tC
the detriment Of the common people.
| Mr.. Thad @. Pound was not only the
Congressional representative of, but he wa
and is himself one Of the lumber kings o
the Northwest.
The Democrats are welcome to all thC
comfort they can get out of his accession tC
their ranks.

SCROFULA

Usually develops in early life,
and is a peculiar morbid con-
dition of the system, usually
affecting the glands, often re-
suIting in swellings, enlarged
Joints, assesses, thiekening OF
the lips, enlarged neck, sore
eyes. AscrofulouS condition is
often hereditary, but bad diet,
too free use Of fat meats, bad
air, want Of sunshine and noup-
ishing food will induce it.
Some people are troubled with
scrofulous swelling Of the
glands, and with ulcers and
Kernels, which may cause very
little pain; others may have
inward sepofula, serofula Of
the lungs, serofUla Of the
spleen, scrofula Of the kidneys
and scrofu1a Of the bones.
BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS will
drive away any case of scrof-
ula, and not to appear in an
other place, for their action on
the blood and bowels will carry
the disease entirely from the
body
