his famous 10 o'clock order forbidding rum

Among the first to call upon President
Cleveland and to assure him of their approx
al Of his inaugural and their desire to sup
port him in the'policy outlined therein, were
the leaders of the Republican minority in
the House of Representatives. If the Lead
ers of the Democratic majority have called
upon him for the same purpose, the fact has
been sedulously concealed from the public.
The fact is his policy as outlined in his in
augural displeases a much larger number of
Democrats than of Republicans. On the
finances, for instance, his declarations are
hostile to the views of majority of the
Democratic members Of the last House, and
on civil service reform his declarations are
unacceptable to probably nine-tenths of his

of prohibition was other than of the most
languid description. But today, If his
"boomers'' correctly reflect his sentiments,
there is no one principle quite so near and
dear to him as the principle of prohibition.
1t may be that his conversion dates from
his interview with Dr.. Bashford and that
good seed then sown in his heart has sprung
up and begun to bear fruit. 1t may be that his
recent trip to Washington with his Demo
cratic brethren opened his eyes to the dan
gers of the rum power. However, the man
ner OF his conversion is not important so
long as the fact Is established. But his
conversion is SO extraordinary, that it will
be well for the Prohibitionists to take some
precautions to test its genuineness before
accepting 1t as. fact. The word of his
''boomers" should not be relied upon i'm
plicitly, but he himself should be requested
to relate his experience" It may be If
the Prohibitionists haul BIN into the
mayors Office they win find that they have
committed the same kind of blunder that
the Trojaps did when they hauled within
their walls the Grecian horse. Before he
is accepted as the Prohibition Moses he
ought TO be thoroughly catechised by a

PINKEYE.
A Remarkable Cure of a Horse.

Col. James l. Fleming, a. prominent
groHery merchant; member of the firm of
Fleming 4 Lotion, augusta, Ca, makes
the following statement of the treatment of
valuable horse with Swift's Specific:
In the fail OF 1883 had a valuable colt
taken with severe case of Pinkeye, which
resulted in the most fearful case of blood
poisoning have ever seen. After eight o.
nine months of doctoring with every
remedy that C uld hear of, despaired of q
cure. At this time the horse was unable to
move. because of swollen limbs. His right
hind leg was as large as mans body, and
also a number of large sores on his
body and other limbs. He was most
pitiable looking object and was advised
70 end his sufierings with the shot gun. he
was valuable animal, and / did not want
70 lose him. After racking my brain in search
for another remedy more efficacious, ]
thought of Swift's Specific. Iaknew it was
valuable to the human family as blood
purifier, and why should it not be for the
animal as well did not hesitate, but sent
last July, to Atlanta for supply.
began the treatment with 4 OF of 6. s. g.
and o. OF water three times day. This
continued for week. Then I increased
the dose to 6 o. of each, and continued for
week Then increased to s OF. and run II
aweek when l went back to OF. again. The
result was that at the end of the first week
She horse had fair appetite, which he had
not had since his sickness. At the end OF
the second week even greater Improvement
was apparent for many of the sores were
healing nicely, and the horse manifested a
desire to move about. At the end of the
third week he began to show gain in flesh,
and had full appetite. Theswelling had about
disappeared fused in all about Is bottles
OF Sw1ft's Specihe, and when quit its use
the horse had only four small sores left on
him, and they healed up Immediately.
In August last all symptoms of the disease
passed away, and up TO date no signs of the
return OF the trouble have made their ap-
pearance, and the horse has done 8 mules

medicine has proven boon to the animal
as well as TO the human race.
