THE CIDER CURE.
It's Devotees Pronounce IL an Infalli-
Bile Remedy for Rheumatism.


The bluegrass craze and the boiling
water remedy for dyspepsia are now
succeeded by the cider cure for gout and
rheumatism which, strange to say, is
receiving the sanction Of some of the
best physicians in Europe. Cider must
in snch cases be drank sweet, and Gel
ebrated chemist gives the following
formula to prepare this cheap and agree
able beverage: "Cider should be made
of good sound apples and then left to
ferment in the barrel. When the fer
mentation has almost ceased it should
be racked off into smaller barrel by
siphon, Ia rubber tube) from the bung
| of the first barrel into that of the Sec
ond. In this way your second barrel
will contain cider almost clear. Let it
SETTLE for two or three days, bottle in
| Champagne bottles, cork, wire or fasten
| the cork with stings, and lay the bot
ties on their sides If the cider is boiled
to soon, or before fermentation has al
most ceased, it will burst the bottles. II
this is likely to happen, stand them up
again for almost month; then lay
them down again. In this way you
keep your cider sweet for more than q
year. 1t will have plenty of "fizz" in
| it, and makes an excellent drink, par
| ticularly in summer" The new cure
has already many adherents, and o
beautiful resort is about to be opened
in Devonshire, one of the loveliest
counties in England, where the treat
ment can be carried on under the most
advantageous circumstances, as is the
case with the celebrated grape-cure
establishment on the Rhine and
Moselle. A correspondent in the Lon
don Times claims that he has been cured
of rheumatism of long standing by the
use of cider, and it would be well to try
the experiment in the midst of some of
our orchards, situated in picturesque
sites, where the invaiids can pursue
their routine of treatment to the best
advantage.

The Electoral Vote.

On the morning after the late election
there appeared in the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, editorially, and also repeated in glaring
headlines over the election news, the follow
ing legend: "The Next President Will Be
The Nominee of the Republican National
Convention" Well, let US see. In 1884 the
Republicans had 189 Electoral votes, and the
Democrats had 212. This year the Republi-
cans have carried the following States to
which the figures of theirrespective Electoral
votes are attached: Connecticut, 6; Illinois,
q; Indiana, Is; Iowa; IS; Kansas, 9; Maine,
6; Massachusetts, IA; Michigan, Is; Mime
sofa, Z; Nebraska, 5; Nevada, 8; New Hamp-
shire, 4; Ohio, %; Pennsylvania, 80; Rhode
Island, 4; Vermont, 4, and Wisconsin, IL
Total, 189.
The Democrats have carried Alabama, 10
Arkansas, Z; California, 8; Colorado, 8; Della

A Democratic House.

The Republicans are welcome to all the
jubilation they may choose to indulge in
over the reduction of the Democratic maiori-
ty in the House of Representatives at Wash
ington. The preservation of any majority is
sufficient vindication of the administration,
while many details of the contest go to prove
this conclusively. The Democrats have made
gains where their candidates distinctly de-
clared themselves to be supporters of the ad-
ministration, and most of the Democratic
losses were incurred in districts where can
didate for reelection had given to the Presi-
dent lukewarm support or openly antago-
nized him.
It would be idle to deny that the discon-
tent of disappointed Office seekers has played
a prominent part in the contest just closed.
Many Democrats, long excluded from posi-
tions of trust and honor under the federal
government, felt that they had fairly won
such recognition at the hands of Demo-
cratic President. Two things stood in the
way of gratifying such desire. One was
the civil service policy of the President
Hence the disappointed bitterly denounced
that system, and did their best to array other
Democrats against it. Next came the fact
that there we're not enough offices to satisfy
all the applicants. Consequently every Con-
gresham who did manage to secure appoint.

The question to be settled at the congres.
sional election of last Tuesday was whether
or not the dissatisfaction that inevitably fol
lows the accession of a new party to power
would be strong enough to cause the Demo
Gratis to lose control of the House. The Re
publicans hoped that such would be the case
and they have industriously sought to stimu
late the dissatisfaction of all malcontent'
within the Democratic party, though at tht
same time they tried to weaken the Presi
dent with other classes of voters by accusing
him of failure to obey the Civil Servict
law.
Tuesdays election was the country's an
swer to these efforts. It demonstrated tina
they have failed, and that, despite dissatis
faction that must steadily subside, the peo
pie of the United States stand by the Demo
cratic party and their Democratic President

because the individual stockholders might

~" The United States Circuit Court at
Cleveland, has Just decided the bank tax
cases, thirteen in number, which were
brought by the banks of Elyria, Cleveland
and Youngstown, to restrain county treasur-
ers from collecting alleged excessive taxes,
and to compel auditors to allow stockholders
individual liabilities to Offset assessed valua-
ton. Upon both of these points the court
decided in favor of the banks. Unquestiona-
bly, the decision was correct as to the first
count, but equity would seem to be against
the second decision, and unless reversed by
higher court much money will escape taxa
tion in Ohio. The first decision was right
because the national banks of Ohio have
been annually returning about seventy five
per cent. of their capital for taxation, which
is very much more than the average taxpayer
returns. We presume not more than from
twenty to thirty per cent. of the persona
property of Toledo is on the tax duplicate
We do not say that the existing custom O.
low listment is proper butas people gener
ally follow that rule, the banks should not b.
made an exception and be forced to returi
their full capital for taxation, as many coun
ty officials in Ohio insist shall be done.
would be better if all property were returned
at full value, but as such is not the case ther
should be equality of returns. At presen
the average is very low.
Upon the second count the equities ar
reversed. If the capital stock, at whateve
figure agreed upon, is assessed for taxatio

ais. The stockholders receive dividends,

usually interesting, inasmuch
as the Holiday Stock of Goods
are being arranged, which oc-
cupies the attention of the force

in saying that never before in
the history of this house has
such a display Of ornamental

up to the eyes and tastes of our
citizens. The Little Dutch

himself in his efforts to please
the tastes, and at the same time
accommodate the pocket-books,
of the citizens of Napoleon and
surrounding country.
As the holidays are near at
hand, and knowing that it is
more blessed to give than re-
ceive, Saur has made it point
this season to collect a stock of
articles from which none can
fail of finding something to
please, no difference for whom
intended, let it be a father,
mother, brother, sister, aunt,
uncle, niece, nephew, cousin,
husband, wife, sweetheart, or
of whatever kin.
It would be the next thing
to an impossibility to enumer-
ate all the articles suitable for
the holidays to be found at
Saur's, but to give the reader
an idea of the extent and nature
of the stock, we mention the one
item of Gift Books, which COM
prises thousands of volumns,
consisting Of all the latest pub
hcations at prices never before

Of it, a dollar book for 25 cents,
