The TRIBUNE ALMANAC for 1885 contains
all the important political Intelligence ol the
wear recently closed. The election returns are
complete for every State and Territory, ana
have been compiled with painstaking care
from official sources. 1t is non-partisan
political.manual, giving the facts precisely as
the Editor the Hon. Edward Mcpherson, finds
them. and 1t can be used to equal advantage
nv both political parties. Between the covers
ia compressed an immense mass of accurate
information respecting the public life OF the
Nation. Price, 80 cents; sent postpaid to any
address.
Republicans of the city should not forget that
to-day sthe first day for voters store-enrol them
selves in the Assembly District Associations.
The rolls will be open from until 10 p. m.
and all Republicans can put down Their names
who voted for Blaine and Logan at the last
election. Everybody who wishes to take part
in the primary elections or have the right to
criticise the nominations after they are made
will be careful to enroll himself either to-day,
or on January % or 80.
The friends of Protection who met at the
Astor House yesterday to form an American
Protective Tariff Association are wise men.
Such an organization, if properly conducted, can
do an excellent work in educating the people
to proper appreciation of the principle OF Pro-
lection and thus serve the interests of labor
most effectively. Through the local clubs
which it is proposed to organize every nook
and Granny of the Nation can be reached, and
every voter can be instructed how best to main
tain the dignity of the American wOrkingman.
This is a good beginning for the Republican
canvass of 1888.
The appearance. by counsel in court OF a
woman who claims to be the daughter OF the
late Professor Darling adds another factor to
the intricate contest over his will. Catherine
Lefferts's STORY certainly hangs well together.
According to it, her parents separated when
she was young, and for some thirty years she
had had no communication with her father
Now che suddenly drops into lawyers Office,
armed with the traditional family Bible and
lot of Letters from her alleged father, to prove
her identity. Naturally the other lawyers ana
claimants look askance at the new arrival but
her presence is q guarantee that the contest WILL
be lively and full Of incident.

The embarrassment Of Oliver Brothers, the

that this firm did not fail willingly, but that

The friends of sound banking system,
class that includes all well-informed business
men and all statesmen, will feel disappointed
and disgusted at the treatment given to the
bank question which came up in the House
yesterday. A decent regard for the commercial
interests of the country should have insured at
least a fair and careful consideration OF the
matter; but the Mcpherson bill, inadequate as
it is, was quickly showed aside, and no substitute
allowed to be proposed for discussion although
an excellent one was ready. Itwas mainly Demo
cratic stupidity that led to this result, although
Messrs. Hewitt and Potter told their political
brethren in plain language where such stupidity
was driving the country.

German Socialists are copying closely the tactics
Of their Russian co-laborers. They have murdered
the police commissioner who secured the convic-
ton of the Niederwald assassins The revengeihas
been deliberately planned and executed as a warn

ton. The most dlligent and successful OF the
Russian detectives was entrapped by spies and
murdered not long ago and the vengeance Of the
German Anarchists has been wreaked in similar
way, only more openly and with greater audacity.

Death OF Geo. M, RagsdaIe.

"One by one they are gathering

generous are the first to go. No ons
that knew George will fail to fee
regret at his death Hewas 80 years
old, strong, vigorous and to all appear.
ances gave promise of long life, but
disease fell upon him, and on last
Monday at 2 o'clock p M, after an
illness of five weeks, he closed his
eyes in death. His remains were
brought here last Tuesday from his
home near Santa Fe, and after a
beautiful funeral service, conducted
by Elder III. B. Davis at the Chris
tlan church, they were buried in the
new cemetery to await the resurrec-
ton morning. George was mem
Der OF the Christian church, making
the confession and receiving baptism
during the last few weeks of his life.
Our good friend, cut down in the
bloom OF his young manhood, leaves
many pleasant memories to those who
knew him best and loved him. In
bidding him long farewell, we do
so in the belief that his spirit in heav-
en- will be as bright and beautiful as
were the flowers laid upon his grave
last Tuesday, and to his host of friends
we can say that their grief in this sad
dlspensation of Providence is our
grief.
He was son of the late Drury
and Louisa Ragsdale, Of this county,
and was born on Nov. 21st 1854, at
the old Caldwell house, near the fair
grounds. He worked in this Office
for year, and during that time he
proved a genial companion and an
honest worker, always demeaning
himself properly. In fact, he made
friends Of US all.
His parents died when he was
young, thus throwing him upon his
own resources, but as his estate shows
about $4,000, it will be seen that he
was no drone in the hive of industry.
He bequeaths the bulk of his prop
erty to his brother Clarence, giving

He was taken sick at the home of
L. A. and G. G. Creigh, where he
died. He could not have been better
cared for, or every want more prompt
ly met. His last days, notwithstand-
ing the pain that wracked his body,
were happy ones. He realized that
when his life closed here it would
open more beautifully in another
world. He called his young COM
panions about him and begged them
to repent, and change the manner
of their lives; that his great regret
was that he had not served the Lord
longer and more faithfully. When
the dissolution came be said, 'sLord,
receive my spirit" and fell asleep.

Something About Sunstroke.

Prevention-Don't lose your sleep;
sleep in cool place; don't worry;
don't get excited; don't drink too
much alcohol; avoid working in the
sun if you can; if indoors, work in a
we'll ventilated room; wear thin
clothes; wear light hat,not black put
large green leaf or wet cloth in it;
drink water freely and sweat freely !;
if fatigued or dizzy, knock off work,
lie down in a cool place, and apply
cold water and cold cloths to your
head and neck.
Cure - Put the patient in the
shade; loosen his clothes about the
neck; send for the nearest doctor;
give the patient cool drinks of water
or black tea Or black coffee, if he
can swallow. If his skin is hot and
dry prop him up, sitting against q
tree or wall; pour cold water over the
body and-limbs, and put on his head
pounded ice wrapped in cloth, or
towel. If you can't get ice, use a
wet cloth, and keep freshening it.
But if the patient is pale and faint,
and his pulse is feeble, lay him on
his back, make him smell hartshorn
for few seconds, or give him a
teaspoonful of aromatic spirits Of
ammonia or ginger in two tablespoons
full of water. In this case use no
cold water, but rub the hands and
feet and warm them by hot applica-
tions until the circulation is restored.

isterial Reprobate.

If it is proven that this man JAR
dine, Of Kansas City, this so-called
minister Of Christ's religion, has
been tampering with little girls, and
approaching them with acts of
criminality, some other punishment,
sterner than dismissal, should be
meted out to the unctuous lecher.
If the men in this country do not
protect their own women, especially
their own wives and daughters, from
even the semblance of the approach
of such scoundrels, then is the
country gone to the devil, and the
sooner it goes the better. What
should any father think whose girl,
nine years of age and tolerably well
developed, it may be, is enticed into
the recesses of church where she
goes of Sunday, and there forced
to submit to practices SO beastly
that they are unfit to be printed in a
newspaper What should matter the
law with him. Isn't the whole land
full Of shot-guns and six-shooters? 1t
is perfectly horrible, this tide of
rape, incest, tampering with children,
and the best antidote for it all on
this earth is to bring death into the
transaction. Nothing puriies so
much in this world as punishment
which has q passionate vengeace.

The Sex A.Summering.


A few of the things that bother
women out of town for the summe;
beyond description are:
To have to bait her own hooks,
and take the fish off when she catches
them.
To be told to keep still, in order
that the fish may not be frightened
away from the bait.
To be told by her husband that
business is so bad that they must
return to the city right away.
To have another woman with an
inferior wardrobe receive more atten.
ton than she receives.
To discover that her son has taken
her large sun-bonnet, and fastened
it on stick to use for scrap-net.
To rush to the Office on the arrival
of the mail and find that she is the
only woman in the house that hasn't
got at least one letter.
To dress up in Fifth, Avenue style
and go to church, only to find no one
there but the native yokels, who do
not admire and envy her, but rather
regard her as natural curiosity.
To be in the country about a
thousand miles from the city, and
learn by the metropolitan papers that
So-and-So, Smith & So-and-So are
having slaughter, and are selling
off six-dollar parasols for a dollar
and forty-nine cents.
To sit in a large cranky boat, and
have to look straight ahead in order
to keep the thing from upsetting, at
moment when another woman is
standing just behind her on the
shore in new dress that she has on
for the first time.
And to have her husband walk
off to study the mountain scenery,
and be overpowered and lifted up by
its rare and marvellous beauty and
magnifcence, at the moment when
the Indian arrives on the hotel stooE
with a basket full of canoes, glove
boxes, and all sorts of aboriginal
bric-a-brac, at a dollar bric.

CURE FOR PILES,

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part Of the abdomen, caus-
ing the patient to suppose he has some
affection Of the kidneys or neighbor-
ing organs. At times, symptoms of
indigestion are present, as fiatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like perspiration, produ-
cling a very disagreeable itching, af-
ter getting warm, is very common
attendant. Blind, Bleeding, and
Itching Piles yield at once to the
application Of DIR. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy which acts directly upon the
parts affected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the intense itching, and affec-
ting permanent cure. Price fifty

"When man is going down hill

so thin and gray. One bottle of
