Narrow-Gau-e Criticism.

EDITOR CRITIC: In to-day's issue of The
CmTIc appeared the following, which is too
good specimen Of genuine simplicity to
pass unnoticed:
and Brady is respectfully called to the fact
that Robert T. Lee Camp, No. ], Conled-
crate Veterans, have contributed SO to the
fund which is being raised for the benefit of
the widow of the late General Hancock"
Do you suppose, bless your simple soul,
that this interest would have been taken in

Republican? No; political sympathy alone
prompted 1t. Why did not r. Il. Lee Camp

Although Europe is at peace.
and the sovorcIgns, in their speech
cs, and prime ministers in their
official uttcranco affect to speak
confidently of the maintenance of
concord, ii is interesting to observe
with what strained energy and
enormous expenditure its powers
are increasing and improving their
already oppressive ornaments.
Tho vivacious little French sccre-
tary of war, Gen. Boulanger, takes
the lead in this business. He has
undertaken tho task OF rcarmlng
the French army with new and
moro effective rifle, and expects TO
have il completed by next spring
at Il cost OF $20,O00,00O. In addi-
ton to this, the minister OF marine
brought forward in the chambers 4
bill approprratlng S2S,000,000 for
building new war ships, and S12,-
100000 more for certifying ports
of refugc-a total of $40, 900, 900 for
expenditure on the navy and on
the sea. The next Italian budget,
we are told, will contain q call for
an appropriation of S6,000,000 for
for changing the rifles IN the army,
and increasing the cavalry in the
service. When it is remembered
that the Frcnch::ssgovcrnmont is
steadily increasing its debt year af-
ter year, and the Italian army and
navy expenditures arc already
greater than the nation can reason
ably bear, it becomes evident that
these additional expenditures con-
template a contingency which can
not be avoided, and, therefore,
must provided for, at any cost.
Armor, improved magazine rifles,
new explosives, torpodoos and tor
pedo-catchcrs, steel clad ships,
armed with enormous guns, ex-
plosIve bolts, target-fring, mill
tary monGuvres and sham-battIes
have become the chief study of the
European powers-and the fire.
quont arrest of artist spies caught
in the work of making sketches of
tortresses, is asIgn that the hour is
fast coming on when all these des-
tructive agencies and the knowl-
edge of how 10 use them will be
called INTO active use. In fact, all
Europe appears to be preparing for
the underlined and undefnable great
mortal struggle, imminent for ten
years past, whose beginning is now
fixed tor next spring, when the
march of Russian squndrons into
Bulgaria and towards Constantine
pie. will be the signal for the
struggle to begin.

OF all the countries In the world
the United States should be freest
from class prejudlces, but it would
seem that agitators and dema-
gOgues are doing their best to ar,
ray one class against another.
Every conceivable effort IS being
made to prejudice the country peo-
pie against the towns, and the fact
that the town and the country arc
mutually dependent one upon the
other is entirely overlooked.
Again no effort is being spared to
array labor against capital, while
it ought to be apparent that with
ont one the other would be useless;
labor can do nothing without capt.
tai, and capital without labor would
be entirely useless. The two are
mutually dependent upon each
other, and instead of fomenting
dissentions there should be unity

regard to his reported utteranccs
on the prohibition question. The
special saps that some Prohibition
Democrats will not vote for him.
Mr.. Mills contends that prohibition
is not q political question and
therefore prohibition is not Demo,
cratic. The BANNER thinks that
the prohibitionists who want to
make Prohibition a political qucs,
ton would do well to make Pro.
hibition party of their own and
fight 1t out on that line. A man
may be of any political faith and
still believe in prohibition, but he

A TIMELY RESCUE
From A Most Terrible Death.

Tho Wilmington (Del.) Morning
News, of Sept. Sth, 1886, gives tho
following history of a prominent
business mans plucky fight and
terrible experience with that much
dreaded ana alway-tO-bc feared dis
ease, Cancer.
Some five years ago a barber ac-
cidentally cut my lower lip while
shaving mo. The pain was very
slight and for some time hardly
gave 1t passing thought. Finally
1t assumed the condition of wart,
which refused to heal entirely with
all my efforts in that direction. l
went to one of the leading physi-
clans in Philadelphia, who treated
me three months for cancer, and
sent homo cured, as he said. But
l was approhenslvo. Twas told by
Appointment physicians ofWilming-
ton that | would surely die of can
GER. About this time | heard of
the wonderful cures effected by
Swift's Specific, known as s. S. S.
| was suffering with perfect ner-
vous prOstration. After had given
S. S. S. fair trial this all disap-
pearod, and l felt ike myself again.
l continued TO take the Swift's
Specific medicine regularly for sew
oral months, and before could re-
alize how | came about, 1 was q
new man again. In fact l was
cured-ncvcr felt better in my life.
and from that time up to the pres
ent have never felt the least evil
depce OF return to my old trouble.
The cancer disappeared over 4 year
ago, but l refrained from making
the cure public before this, as l
wished to be certain that | was
cured. Ny condition is perfectly
normal; | have none of those an
noying symptoms which followed
every other treatment used. L hon.

bad features of the so-called labor

communism in dealing with wealth

tainly seem that in due time com

ROGER 0. MILLS

wv SL@4t u IhLL-L-bD.
This gentleman is now and has
for some years past represented
the Niuth congressional district of
Texas in the United States con-
gross. He proved an able, faith
ful and conscientious member, he
has always been at his post OF duty
and has been one of the hardest
working members of the Texas
delegation. During Mr.. Mills ca
reer in congress he has made ma
tional reputation and as an earnest
advocate of tariff reform IN the in
terest of the masses. He stansd
second only to Morrison, of Hi
nois. His defeat OF this time would
be q great misfortune, not only for
the district and the state for the
Democracy of the United States,
because Mr.. Mills is one of the
foremost Democrats in tho House
of Representatives. He Is thorn
in the side of the Republicans and
q most strenuous effort IS being
made to defeat him, not only by
the Republicans directly, but by
the combined opposition to the
Democracy, the Republicans being
in the background. The prohibi-
ton question was forced on Mr..
Mills as an issue and he was CON-
PEELED to take sides. He is an anti
prohlbitionists and has gwen ample
reasons for the faith that is in him,
and while opposing prohibition
Mr.. Mills is temperance man. The
Waco Examiner, which assumes to
be the leading paper in this district
is supporting Mr.. Mills, but the
manner of its support is not calcu-
lated to aid his cause to any eX-
tent, that is, the Examiners ut
terance carry any weight. The
Galveston News in its issue of Sat
urday contains an able leader
strongly advocating the reelection
of Mr.. Mills to congress and in the
course OF its remarks 1t says: ait
is easy to understand why many of
the ambitious politicians of Waco
Bolton and Brennan would like to
have Mr.. Mills retired. Some of
them are hungering for his place,
and others of them would like to
have an agent in Washington
to look after the spoils. He has
not banked on spoils as the chief
prop of his ambition" That Waco
and Bolton both have aspirants for
his position was made manifest dur
ing the past summer, but we think
it is unjust to class Brennan in the
same category. There is not man
in Brennan who aspires Mr.. Mills
position, but on the contrary all
our leading Democrsts and not a
few Republicans are giving him
their most ardent support, in oppo-
sitlon to DIR. Rankin, the green
back prohibiting darklantern, anti
monopoly candidate, who has not
single redeeming qualification to
recommend him for the position.
Rankin processes to eGchew politics
entirely in his harangues to the
people. He berates class legisla-
ton and at the same time says the
poor laboring man and the poor
farmer must be protected against
all kinds of monopolies, real and
Imaginary. His hobby is that the
or man is oppressed and he would
at once proceed to Ieglslate against
the rich. Practically he Is COM
munlst and the people are not yet
ready for communism.

On Saturday last Judge Abbott
and Col. Kearby had a joint Debate
at HilIsboro. Both are candidates
for congress. Abbott is the Demo
cratic nominee and KGarby is the
candidate of the Greepbackers,
Republicans and darklanternists.
He is posing as the champion OF
the people and has no platform or
principles and suggests no remedy
for the evils under which he says
the people are suffering. The gen.
cral opinion is that Abbotts speech
strengthened the Democracy and
that parties heretofore supporting
Kearby will drop him.
