The rheumatic are seldom free from certain
soreness or stiffness in the joints and mus
cles, which serves as a constant reminder that
the virus only waits ar unfavorable change

its presence with excrucIating twinges, To
prevent the recurrence and mitigate the pain,
there is no finer or safer source of relief than
Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, medicine every

The Republican Ticket and Pros
pect in 1888.

Samuel Fessenden, of Stamford, Conn,
Secretary of the Republican National Com
mittee, was in the city day or two go,when
Tribune reporter met him and asked about
politics. He fought shy at first and wanted
information himself, but finally said:
at looks very Blainelsh. There does not
seem to be anybody else. He can get the
Irish vote and the labor vote as no other man.
The tide in his favor in the party seems to be
stronger than ever. The failure of the Cleve
land administration has made Mr.. Blaine
strong The administration has gone all to
pieces since Manning was taken sick. There
i. no administration party in the South or
anywhere else to hold votes away from Mr..
Blaine in the national convention. He will
get a large vote from the South, and he will
get very many more votes from New York
State than ever before tor the same reason.
The only thing have thought might help the
democrats that good times might come
along about 1888, and good times always help
the party in power. The fact that Congress
has rejected the Presidents advice in finan-
cal matters will fix that point ! times get

The Great Parliamentary Struggle


One OF the grandest spectacles Of the
time, is that OF Gladstone boldly launch-
ing his scheme in the House of Commons,
granting home rule to Ireland. At the
age of seventy-six he dares to encounter
British prejudice and partizan abuse in
dealing with the problem which has baf-
fled the wisdom of scores OF great states
men before him and carried down so many
ministries. With the biggest brain and
the noblest heart in England, with an en-
thusiasm which young men might envy,
feeling all the responsibility which his
position and prestige give him. he
resolves to give autonomy and fair
PLAY to the country which has suffered
untold evils by English rule, from the
days of Cromwell to the present hour In
taking this stand he is not only obliged to
break the strong attachments OF numerous
friends and former supporters. he has to
encounter the convictions and feelings
which have long dominated his country.
and to utterly disregard much OF his for
mer views and antecedents. He may
fail in carrying his present meas
ure through Parliament. His ministry
NAV be driven from power and the great
chieftain and orator of justice may go in
to private life, or death may summon him
hence before many months pass away, but
the final success of the essential princi-
pies of his measure is assured. He has
truth, common sense, and the best instincts
of the human heart on his side. He has
with him all the enlightened sympa
thies of the age. The tremendous force
with which he appeals to the public
opinion of Great Britain is having
sure and rapid effect. 1t will be
found impossible even for the most solid
coalitions OF Tory and Wnig statesmen
and partizans to break the force of his
onset and again govern Ireland by coer-
cion and military power. 1t is only
question of time. The future surely be-
longs to Gladstone, Parnell, and the liber-
al reformers of Great Britain and Ireland.

Not long ago a butcher in this city sold
woman piece of meat, which. when taken
home, was found to be bad. It was re-
turned, but the butcher refused to take it
back, replace it with another piece or re-
fund the money. The woman '.nursed her
wrath" as Burns says. ''te keep it warm"
and she planned to get even. One Satur-
day night when the butcher and his assist
ant were busily serving a number Of Gus
toners, the irate female walked into the
shop, and throwing dead cat on the meat
block, exclaimed: "That makes ten, will
get the other two by tomorrow" None of
