1t gains a little transient notoriety for
the authors, but it does no good, and if
it hurts anybody we don't think the
wounds will be found on. the persons at
whom it is aimed. Why not cultivate the
philosophic and manly American spirit
which loyalty accepts the Judgment of
the majority fairly and constitutienally
expresseds Mr.. Blaine's devoted Cincin-
natl organ signalizes the national holiday
by contending that we should not read or
print the declaration of independence.
because its sentiments must be as obnox-
ious to English ears as illusions to bloody
shirts and shotguns are to southern DEM
ocrats. or course this hysterical rubbish
is the logical sequence of Mr.. Blaines
posthumous Augusta letter, in which he
predicted all sorts of dire calamities for
the colored element as the inevitable re-
suit of Mr.. Cleveland's election. But that
bugle blast did not arouse any far reach
ing or abiding response, and we find a
republican nominee for governor in Ohio
today who is likely to be defeated by the
adverse votes of the colOred men of that
state.
That Mr.. Blaine was not invited to the
recent Grand Army reunion in Maine is q
very significant sign of the times. Unless
we greatly err the committee On invita-
tons overlooked Editor Halstead for the
same reason. The country feels that the
rights of the negro and of everybody else
are as secure under Mr.. Cleveland as they
would have been under Mr.. Blaine
probably somewhat more so. When thu
republican party adopts its platform fol-
1888 it will need to 60 before the people
with more timely and vital issues thar
the bloody shirt if it expects TO make any
good showing at the polls.

On the pension rolls of the United
States are the names of about S25, 900
persons, OF whom 1896 are widows,
minor children AMI dependent relatives.
As the war ended twenty years ago. it is
evident that the ''mipor" element must be
undergoing rapid elimination. The ag-
gregate sum paid in pensions last year
was $34, 466, 60035, but an additional
$22, All, 997 was paid to liquiGate arrears
This money is distributed through eigh~
teen agencies, the largest of which is at
Columbus, o. On the rolls are 1895
survivors of the war of 1912, and no less
than 1852 widows of operators in thai
war. The carnage wrought during the
second struggle with Britain does no
justify this wide discrepancy of numbers
Clearly the gentle sex was also hardy
one at the beginning of the century.

THE CHFYFNNrs

Acting on an order from the President,
General Sheridan has started for the In,
dian Territory to assume personal direc.
ton of the operations necessitated in that
quarter by the attitude OF the Cheyennes.
The substance of his instructions is that
the Indians are to be assured of exact
justice and protection, but that they must
be prevented at all hazards from engag.
ing in any raids or depredations 1t is a
task of no ordinary delicacy and Difficult,
ty that has been entrusted to General
Sheridan and his subordinates. The In
dams have been again and again prom>
ised justice and protection, yet again and
again they have been subjected to inva-
sion and outrage at the hands of land
grabbers and cattle companies favored by
republican jobbers in the interior departs
ment. They have likewise been swindled
and abused by official agents and cons
tractors until they have dispaired of fair
treatment.
The present administration means to
redress the grievances of the Indians, but
can the Indians understand and believe
it, especially when an effort is made to
disarm themf Can they be convinced
that the government, after disarming
them, will shield them against wanton
attacks by cowboys and boomers2 On
this point hinges the solution of the
problem. Awaiting further developments,
we can only hope that General Sheridan
and General Miles will reach a peaceful
adjustment of the trouble.

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.
Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co, N. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak raised blood. Nobody
thought l could live. My work (ship-
smithing was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition /
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to get it in this little place, and /
had improved SO much, l stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that l have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishlers Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and l must have a
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and | will make affidavit to it, for l
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhpa, dyspepsia, Indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepare
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
Of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price 81 0(
per large bottle. 6 bottles for $500.
Ask your druggist for MIsHLER's HERB BITTERs
IL he does not keep it, do take anything else but

OF all the festivities of all the glad year
We are inclined TO the belief and we flatter
ourselves that our readers will believe
with u.s. that there is none like the circus.
Of all the great circuses of all the circus
world, we truly believe there is none half
as great as the wonderful circus and me-
nagerie owned and controlled by the Sells
Bros, and our readers believe with us.
1t is the greatest and most wonderful
confederation on earth, employing almost
AS many men as are enlisted in the rank
and file of the regnl0 army, using more
cars especially built for and owned by the
Sells Bros, than are used by some rails

A show so immense as to surprise the
oldest showmen in the country, and to
eclipse any and all shows ever before
seen. A show with innumerable special
features any one OF which is whole show
in itself. A show with the only pair OF
blood sweating hippopotami living in
captivity on the earth; show with tht
only two horaed rhinoceros on earth; d
show with u thousand other features new
er before seen. The only great quadru-

show with fully 200 all star artists giving
six simultaneous acts in four great circu:
rings; show with Don Jerenimo Bell

He Wants the Man Of Cash to Go Easy
on Interest. Very Easy, and Tells

NEW YORK, July lA--The Suns finan
cial man discussing the situation la Wal
street. drops into the following lucubra
tons:
II only the capitalists could be convinced
that the past Is past and that the building
up OF immense fortunes In a few years IL nc
longer possible, great step would be made
toward a revival Of business. The moment
they should make up their minds that
at the present stage Of the worlds progress
2 per cent is very fair remuneration for
securely invested money the whole basis OF
business transactions would be changed.
Ii capitalists would be satisfied with per
cent on governments and other gilt edged
securities, investors OF more speculative
disposition would consider s per cent
a good interest on their more
risky ventures, ana the standard would
soon be accepted by the manufacturers, for
the manufacturer, unless he works himself,
is not entitled to any larger interest than
the mere outside stockholder OF an indus
trial concern On the contrary his returns
ought to be smaller, for he holds, himself,
the control Of the business while the stock
holder must trust to other people, and in
consequence runs on extra risk

trial profits. When this rate of rsmunera-
ton for the use OF their savings is firmly
established In the masses all business will be
conducted on cheaper basis, and the much
looked-for revival will speedily establish
itself As long as this does not take place
people will in vain look for the removal OF
the obstacles at present obstructing the
progress of business relations all over the
world.
As matter of course when the S per
cent rate is spoken Of, it is understood that
it should be q reasonably safe per cent,
and this of course is possible only upon the
condition OF honest management and most
stringest law for the administration of cor.
poration capital. With the condition of
affairs existing in this country, % pei
cent would not be sufficient remuner'
alton for the risk of the investor, and ths
watered stocks, scrips, bonuses and all the
other modern improvements are practically
nothing but premiums paid the investor fol-
the extra risk he runs Of being robbed by
those who handle his funds.
