As will be seen by our Congressional re-
port the House has adopted resolution in
troduced by Congressman Reed directing
the Committee on agriculture to investigate
the Introduction of the foot and mouth dis
ease into Maine, with authority TO report a
bill to reimburse the authorities and citizens
Of Maine for all loss incurred, or TO be in
Cured, in suppressing the disease. The res
olution recites that the introduction of the
disease was due to the negligence of United
States officials who are charged with the
duty of inspecting and quarantining foreign
cattle. Il hardly admits of a doubt that the
farmers who have suffered loss by reason of
the introduction of this disease have an
equitable claim for compensation.

A New Democratic Asnirant.

The friends Of Gen. Denver have gone to
work to manufacture Presidential "boom"
III his interest. At present the "b0om" is
in its infancy, but 1t has plenty of room to
grow in, and if all that is said of Gen. Den
yer In the pamphlet of doubtful parentage
which has been issued In his behalf, be true,
Its possibilities for future development are
considerable. In the first place we have it
on the authority of several eminent Dem
ocratic statesmen, among them the
hon. J. Randolph Tucker and the Hon.
Samuel S. Cox, that Gen. Denver is very
good man. His weight is not given, but it
It is In proportion to his alleged goodness
he probably weighs about Ealf ton. Mr..
Cox says he is "pure, honest and incorrup-
tible, of unquestionable integrity, and al
ways plumb" II will be seen that in one
quality--that of being plumb-he rivals Mr..
Tllden even, who, though alleged to be "pure,
honest and incorruptible," is not represented
even by those who take an optimistic view
of his physical condition, as plumb.
But Gen. Denver's good points do not end
with his moral qualities. If they did his
"soom" would never get out of swaddling
clothes. He has other claims of a much
more substantial kind. His grandfather was
leader in the Irish rebellion of 1913, and
had to fee to this country. Hence every
Irish-American will vote for Gen. Denver to
indicate the memory of his grandfather.
His wife is German woman. Ergo all the
Germans will vote for Denver. He fought
in the Mexican war. Therefore all the
Mexican Veterans will rally to his standard.
He was one of the early settlers of Califor-
mia, therefore all the surviving Forty-niners
and their descendants will support him. The
capital of Colorado is named for him, there
fore the Centennial State will be solid
for Denver. he has been teacher,
sIawyer, an editor, a farmer, wool grower,
business man and statesman. Therefore
his candidacy will appeal strongly to every
man engaged in either OF these professions
or occupations. All that Gen. Denver lacks
apparently to make him an ideal Democrat
IL candidate is barrel. The want Of bar

amount OF other merits can remedy.

Comptroller Knox says the charges just
made against him by the Pacific bank share
holders are nothing but rehash of the Did
enes which were examined sometime ago.
This is probably the fact. The comptroller
is not likely to suffer from another investiga-
ton, If the committee think the charges
will warrant another, which is doubtful. If
the directors of the Pacific bank had attend
ed to their duties as faithfully as Comptrol-
Ter Knox the shareholders would not have
got into their present unpleasant predica-
ment. The attempt to make the comptrol-
ter the scape-goat for the sins Of the direct
ors is not creditable to the men engaged in
1t, and is not likely to succeed.

Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the grayest maladies of the throat

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 20 good as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL. II is Invaluable for diseases of the

The same opinion is expressed by the

continuous study and practice of medicine, any
preparation of SO great value as AYERS CHERRY

and cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than anything else In relieving even the most

who have come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There Is not household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in

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.
AYERS 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
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 rs
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL for treat
