PAwNING HER BOYS CLOTHES FOR MED
ICINE. 4 poor woman in Wales, whose
boy had been very i'll for several years, had
expended all of her means TO pay for medi-
cine. At last the doctors gave him up and
said he must die. He suffered so terribly
with rheumatism that he could not be
moved. One day some one told her about
the Mount Lebanon Shakers. The evidence
of the curative powers of their Extract of
Roots was so convincing that she pawned
the poor boys clothes TO buy bottle of the
remedy tSiegeI'S Syrup, but now she feels
proud that ST did SO. for it was the means
of curing her son. The Shakers say that
this is the result of indigestion and that the
medicine cured the dyspepiia, and that the
real disease.

The Columbus DiSputeh'S biography of
Mr.. Arthur is brief but comprehensive. II
is as follows:
The death of eN-preSldent Arthur is an
nounced He was born in Franklin county,
Vermont, October 5, 1880, and was the
eldest of family of tive sons and hye
daughters His father Dr. William Arthur,
Baptist clergyman, emigrated To this
country from County Antrim, Ireland, when
but eighteen years of age. Chester was
educuted at Union college, taught school
two years in Vermont, and, with the pro-
ceeds, entered the Office of eX-Judge Culver.
of New York, Ia study law. On being adj
mitted To the bar, Mr.. Arthur took As law
partner his intimate friend, Henry ID. Gar
dener. Not long after this, Mr.. Arthur
married the daughter of Lieutenant Hern-
don. of the United States navy-a most
amiable and educated lady, who died PRIOR
TO the time her husband was nominated as
the republican candidate for vice president.
Mr.. Arthur distinguished himself in some
famous trials in connection with the queS-
tiOn of slavery. He entered the republican
party at its organization.
Mr. Arthur held important official rela-
tions with the government of the state of
partment concerned in the management of
military affairs. He is given the credit of
having so managed the business aS TO come
out no richer than when he entered, and
having the state accounts approved at
Washington without the deduction of sin
| gle dollar, while the accounts of quarter
masters from other states were in some in
stances, reduced from Sl,O00,0 900 to So
900. 900.
| After the war, Mr.. Arthur was appointed
collector at the port of New York, from
which position he was removed by President
| Hayes.
| The death of Garfield and the elevation
of Arthur, are matters of comparatively re-
cent date. Mr.. Arthur came 10 the office
of president not As the choice of his part!
/ but so conducted himself under the trying
circumstances As TO win the esteem of al
/ the people, regardless of party.

The Springfield GLOBE -REPUBLIC is
hardly justified in saying that the part of
the Dow law which gives to municipal au-
thoritieS power 10 regulate. restrain or pro
hibit the saloon liquor traffic is fraud.
simply because a conviction under such an
ordinance failed 10 be secured at Yellow
Springs stat, Journal
The -REPUBLIC does not say this.
What appeared to say it was the result of
an accident or oversight. The Journal
further says:
According 10 the Springfield papers own
account the prosecution at Yellow Springs
failed because ''the witnesses placed on the
stand knew nothing that would warrant a
conviction Can the GIOBE-REPUBLIC
suggest law under which those arraigned
for violating its provisions may be con-
ycted whether there Is any evidence
against them or not
No, And if the supreme court decides
the law constitutional the GLOBE -REPUBLIC

A democratic paper suggests Rutherford
B. Hayes as a candidate for the presidency
in Isss He would make good candidate
and an ideal president No man could have
done better than he did in the executive
mansion while he occupied it, In
connection with this We take pleas
ure in copying the following
which appears in the Cleveland Leader.
in response To some democratic sneers at
Mr.. Hayes:
The impudence of these southern papers
and of the New York Graphic in charging
eX-PreSident Hayes with having stolen the
presidency Is something wonderful Mr..
HAYES was declared by a tribunal, voted for
by a democratic house, 10 be the legally
elected president, and the same tribunal
declared that Sam Tilden was not elected.
The same democratic house voted
to confirm that decision. Mr..
Hayes never paid out a dollar to aid his
own election. sam Tilden, the democratic
candidate. tried 10 steal the presidency by
sending IS 900 10 Oregon, with which to
bribp presidential electors TO vote for him
self, and large sums Of money 10 South Car
olina and Florida for the same purpose.
For these unprincipled newspapers TO libel
Mr.. Hayes by charging him with having
stolen the presidency, in the face of the no
tori0us fact that Mr.. Tilden tried TO steal il
by means of bribery, is piece of impudence
that the devil himself cannot match.
