Both We're Counterfeits.

A curious aneedote is related of a
viOlin-maker so skil.ful in his trade that
he could initiate an old violin to perfec-
ton. One day fiddler, more eminent
than honest. brought him fine Gre
mOnia, and said, with twinkle in his
eye: Il want you to make me an exact
copy of this Amati." The maker
knew to whom the fiddle belonged, and
guessing the object promised to have it
ready in two months. At the end of
that time the player returned, paid the
price and received the two viOlins; but
when he got home and examined them
close he found both were cOunterfeits,
the clever imitator having kept the true
Amati for himself.-Riiatielphia Press.

Sympathy for a Criminal.

Judge Noonan recently hal occasion
to sentence horse thief.
This is the third time Eve had to
pass sentence on YOU for stealing a
horse. Should not this be a warning
to You to desist from your evil prac.
ticesa" asked his Honor impressively.
''Why. jedge, man who gets dis
souraged in my line of business will
not amount to row of pins. You
know that good old proverb: If at first
you don't succeed. try, try again.
This makes the third time I've been
tried. 1 reckon I'll make the rifle
next time"
IL hope so. I'd like to see YOU rise

OVER THE RIVER.

The hours creep by on leaden feet,
And all the day is long to me,
/ drink the bitter with the sweet
Things are not as they used to be.
It's Lonesome, living on this way
Since papa went to Canada.
Good sooth, he did not want to go,
He told me when he SAID good-by, -
He had the Doodle with him, SO
They could not find 1t should they try.
Then in hurried sort of way
Poor papa went to Canada.
His place is empty on the board,
At home we see his vacant chair:
And we, alas, seem quite ignored
Because he's neither here nor there.
There is no place to 20 o. stay,
Since papa went to Canada.

The Next House.

The next House will have small demo-
cratic majority, but exactly what it
will be cannot yet be told, on ac-
count of cases which are in doubt and
some to be contested. The majority will
probably lie between nine and fourteen.
Carlisle's election is conceded, but Mr..
Thoebe, the republican candidate against
him. will contest his election. MIR. Car
isle appears to be the favorite of the
greater part of the democrats for Speaker,
but the circumstances attending his cleo
ton and his disputed claim to seat, cast
a shadow over the chance of his re-elec-
ton.
1t is thought Mr.. Randall will remain at
the head of the Committee on appropria-
tons, the free traders not feeling
disposed under their defeat to administer
to him the discipline they intended. Who
will take the place of Mr.. Morrison at the
head of Ways and Means is rather diff
cult question to be settled.
The protective tariff has been much
strengthened in the House by the result of
the election. though quite number of
democrats who voted against the Morri-
son bill are not returned.

The Business Situation.

There has been no improvement in bust
ness during the week but on the contrary
slight falling off. Some say this is due
to the elections and some to unreasonable
weather. No important change appears
in the markets upon which exports main
ly depend. Prices of grain remain sub
stantially unchanged, the great visible
supply anu the moderate foreign demand
checked rise, while the abatement of
offers from the farms discouraged opera
tons tor decline. Cotton has fallen an
eighth, because of slackening foreign de.
mand, but pork products generally ad-
vanced small fractions, and oil is dull and
little changed in price.
The exchanges show that domestic trade
is somewhat but not greatly larger than it
was year ago. The aggregate at clear.
ing house cities outside New York
showed an increase of 9.S per cent for
October in comparison with last year

makes more progress than railroad earn
ings, for while the report of mileage built
to date. over 5000, has only been exceed
ed in the three years lS8l-83 and in 1872,
the reported earnings of thirty roads for
the last week OF October show a decrease
of two per cent in comparison with last
year. This is partly because Of the differ
ence in number OF working days includ-
ed but forty roads report tor the full
month only 2 8 per cent increase over
October, 1885. The iron market is con-
sidered stronger but nails are weaker at
81, and anthracite coal is quoted Is cents
lower. The minor metals were strong
last week, copper advancing 20 cents per
100 pounds, tin 10 cents, and lead 30
cents, while silver also rose a quarter OF g
penny per ounce. Coffee was stronger
while sugar slightly declined. Sugar
remains at the lowest price on record.

Through English Eyes,

The London Spectator has some curiout
Pennsylvania. 1t charges him with "coquet.
ting with the prohibtionst party" in Maine
and with striving to identify republicansm
mot merely with the maintenance of the
existing tariff, but with an anti tree-trade
policy of the most extreme kinda policy
based on the notion that patriotism and the
welfare of the Nation alike demand that pro-
lection shall be upheld, and, if necessary,
Increased" The assumpiol that Mr. Blaine
WAS ''coquetting" with the third party in his
own State, when in reality he was sternly
arraigning it for its monstrous ingratitude to
the republican party, which had enacted and
steadily enforced prohibitory laws, is tantas-
tic. to say the least. Equally inaccurate is
the generalization on his tariff speeches in
Penusylvania Mr. Blaine's chief thesis has
been the necessity of tariff legislation in the
near future, since the growing surplus cannot
be used in the reduction of the national debt.
He has contended that it is of paramount i'm
portsnce for the republican party II regain
control of the government sincr the tariff
schedules must be revised, and this work
must be done by the friends rather than the
foes of American industries. That he is the
champion of protection cannot be contro-
verified; but it is pslpsbly absurd a. well as
uajust to represent him as Offering stubborn
resistance to tariff revision or as advocating
protection of an extreme kind"
While this London journal is seriously At
fault in its summaries of Mr.. Blaine's speech
cs in Maine and Pennsylvania, it accurate
ly represents English opinion when it says
"Should the struggle of two years hence &C
tuslly take place over protection, and should
Mr. Blaine he able to get the full support OF
the anti-free traders, the struggle will be
extremely close If, however, protection is
not really made the dividing line, Mr.. Cleve-
land is pretty sure of victory. For ourselves
we wish Mr.. Cleveland success in any
event" The President had powerful English
support in 1884 and still retsins it. because
he is the leader ode iure if not de faeto) of a
party that is constantly plotting against the
'aritf and American industries. ''In any
event" he will have the sympathes of Eng
lish manufacturers and of sill the recog lized
agencies of English opinion. But in view OF
Mr.. Blsine's stirring appeals to American
Interests, these English sympsthizers are nov
warning free traders and revenue reformers
in the United States that with protection as
the main issue, the struggle in 1888 will be
close and doubtful. The warning has already
been needed. The free trade journals have
seen a great light since the elections They
are urging the abandonment of tariff legisla-
ton pending the next presidential election.
They are convinced that the people "are not
READY for free trade just yet"

Obstacle to Physical Well Being.

Physicians rightly characterize constipa-
ton as an obstinate impeachment to the welfare
OF the body. The performance of the more
important functions, such rs digestion, hillary
secretion and an active circulation of the
blood, are interrupted bv it in a greater or
less degree, rs the development of the com
plant is incipieIt or mature. Not at once,
of course. but with reasonable promptitude,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will remove every
symptom to which it gives rise, as well as
the minor maladies that spring from it,
among them indigestion and chronic bilious
n SIS. From drenching catharics it is VAIN to
hope for permanent benefit, and there are
few purgatives that are not violent and pro-
fuse in their operation. Blue pill and calo-
mel are designed TO act upon the liver only,
AMI taken frequently are pernicious to health.
The Bitters produce relaxation of their regu-
larity. 1t also concuers fever and ague,
rheumatism. neuralgia and inactivity of the
kidneys.
