WHAT TRUE mERIr WILL DO

The unprecedented sale Of Boschee's
German Syrup within @ few years has
astonIshed the world. Ii is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and edestnal
ours Of Coughs, Colds, and the severest
Lung troubles. IL acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
s5rtpions given bY physicians. as it does
not dry up eoGgh and leave ths dis
ease still IN the system, buI, on the con-
trary, removes the cause of the trouble,
heals the parts affected. and leaves them
10 purely healthy condition. A bottle

eases make their appearance will save
doctor's bills and long spell of serious
illness. A trial will convince you OF
these facts. IL Is positively sold by ali

Value OF Dead and Injured Men.

A railroad accident which results in
the destruction of several costly trains of
cars, the loss of some lives and the inju-
Ty of many other persons always calls
forth expressions of sympathy and regret
from the general public. One class OF
men, however, regard it in altogether q
different light, aud these are the railroad
directors themselves. With them SYM
pathy and sorrow for the untimely slain
and injured have no part. They regard
the accident from a purely commercial
point of view, and that, it is needless to
say, is cold and hearLless to the last
degree.
By a strange construction of the law
of damages by the courts, in such cases,
the railroads much prefer that when an
accident does occur, and a certain num-
ber of persons are killed and manned,
the latter shall be fewer than the former
This is a most heartless state of affairs
bat il is nevertheless the case, and it
arises out of the facL that the market
value of life seems to be we'll estab-
lished by the courts, while the market
value of an injury sustained in a railroad
accident is very uncertain quantity
The courts seem to have fixed the value
of the man or woman who is killed in a
railroad accident al just 50, 900. These
verdicts have been cOmbatted dozens of
times, but always with the same result,
until it has become an accepted fact that
$5, 200 is all railroad can be made to
pay for the life OF person it has killed.
But in the matter of lesser injuries, a
very different rule prevails. There is
no liked value for broken leg, dislo.
Gated shoulder, or half dozen smashed
ribs. They may be worth any sum be-
tween $50 and $50, 900, or even more.-
This is so well known, that very often
the persons who emerge out of railroad
wreck are troubled with all sorts of in
ternal injuries and aches, difficult of
outward detection and receive handsome
sums to heal their damaged personalities.
A railroad company can at once ad up
the cost of half a dozen dead men, but
never what few injured ones are
worth. 1t is the injured living they
dread, and not the dead. The Lake
Shore road is said to have paid million
dollars to the families of the dead and TO
the wounded of the Ashtabula disaster
several years ago. No wonder that an
accident in which many are wounded at
once reacts upon the stock of the road
The spectators understand the law as
to damages. and govern their operations
accordingly.

THE city Of Camden, New Jersey,
seems to be the Paradise, so to speak, of
corrupt voters. The United States Mar
shals who were in attendance at the
November election in that city. have
prepared very lengthy report in which
they state that they have the names of
Alb persons who sold their votes on cleo
lion day 20 Republican workers. They
also have the names of 500 witnesses to
prove the fact. The list includes the
names of voters who, sirce the election,
have confessed that they were bought,
together with the witnesses and the
date, place and circums. aBces under
which the confession was made. The
cases will be presented to the court at
the January term. If this statement is
reliable, and We have seen no contradic-
tion Of if, fearful example ought to be
made of the guilty parties and the popu-
lation of the New Jersey penitentiary
largely increased. The statement omits
to name the price at which Democrat
of Camden puts his vote, but as the
number who sold out is placed at 413. il
is fair to infer that the market rate wa;
exceptionally low.

CONGRESS will meet on Monday next
1t will be what is called 1.-The short
session." and must expire by It's own
Limitation on the Ash of March. There
will be no election for Speaker, chief
clerk and other officers of the House, as
the present incumbents who were elected
when Congress met a year ago, will
serve until next March. There is a
large amount of unfinished business,
some of which is Of great public impoI-
tance, remaining over from the last
session. aud an avalanche Of new bills is
to be expected. most of which, however,
will be invested with only local interest
Whether any tariff legislation will be
attempted does not seem TO be definitely
known. If such an attempt is made and
with the same purpose in view as was
cODRmplated by Mr.. Morrison, of Him
ois, in his bill which was defeated at the
last session, it will undoubtedly meet
with a similar fate. Both the Republi-
can and Democratic National Conven-
tions which met at Chicago in 1884 to
nominate candidates for the Presidency,
declared in their respective platforms
that the inequalities in the present tariff
ought to be corrected, and such is the
well settled opinion of the country to-
day. But 20 satisfactory legislation on
the subject can be accomplished at the
present short session, for the reason that
of hn of q
for the support of the government are
passed, there will be no sufficient time
| TO devote to so important a matter as
the tariff. At all events the Congress
that was chosen at the November cleo
tion is the proper body to deal with the
subject and not the present Congress, a
large portion of whose members will not
occupy seats in the next House. When
the new Congress meets, a year from
next Monday. Mr.. Cleveland, as he de-
| c!ared in a conversation a week or two
ago, intends making the tariff On admin
istTatiOn measure. by which IS meant, as
we suppose. that through his Secretary
of the Treasury he will submit a tariff
bill to Congress for its action-such a
bill as he believes the best interests of
the whole country require should be
passed-a conservative bill which will
be a compromise between the extreme
| notions of the high prOtectionists and
those of the radical tariff reformers. II
the President carries out his purpose, it
will bring the two parties face to face
on this vexed question more distinctly
than heretofore, and the whole country
will know just where each of them
stands. There never will be fair, hon.
eat and satisfactory tariff revision meas
ure adop;ed until the extremists on both
sides uf the question abandon their ultra
able compromise.

ERASTUs BROOKS, wh) in former
years was chief editor of the New York
Express, died on Thursday of last week,
in the 72nd year of his age. He was a
man of very decided ability, and in 1853
and 1856 was elected to the State Senate
of New York. While he was in the
Senate he introduced a bill divesting
Catholic bishops of the exclusive title to
church property in real estate. This
gave rise TO a controversy between him
self and Archbishop Hughes, which was
published in New York in 1855 in a VOL
ume entitled Controversy on Church
Property" II 1856 Mr.. Brooks, who
has sometimes been incorrectly called
the founder of the Know Nothing party,
was nominated by that party as its can
didate for Governor of New York, but
was not elected. 1t is singular coinci-
deDce that while Know Nothingism as
a political power in many of the States
has been bdried out of sight for more
than a quarter of century, that on the
same day that the mortal remains of
Erastus Brooks, one of its high priests,
we're consigned to the tomb. an attempt
was made in the city of Washington by
Rev. DR., Newman. who is somewhat
celebrated as having been Gen. Grants
chaplain, to breathe new life into its
mouldering body. On the day named,
DR.. Newman preached a sensational po-
A 90
cans" being his theme, although he took
good care to disclaim Know Nothingism.
His platform as he announced it during
the course of his sermon, is to make
every foreigner live in the country at
least fifteen years, (the CID Know Moth
ing period was 21) to lean what he,
Newman, called the seven essential at
tributes Of an American, before he is
entitled to the tight of suffrage. He
would also make every priest and every
Catholic renounce before God and the
Eoly angels all allegiance to every foreign
prince, pontiff and potentate, whether
spiritual or temporal. He vehemently
denounced the Irish vote, the German
vote and every vote that was not thor
oughIy American. He gave utterance
to several other kindred propositions
which he claimed to be embraced within
the seven essential attributes of an
American citizen. Newman in his new
crusade against the pore, the priests and
the Catholics, the Irish and the Dutch,
has undertaken very big contract,-a
job at which other men of greater re-
sources than be possesses. have signally
failed. The experiment he has entered
upon, however, may amuse him for a
time, but his fate will be as disastrous
as that of his predecessors in the same
exploded and disreputable business.

IN his speech making tour through
this State last October, James G.. Blaine
took occasion in all the addrC sses he de-
livered TO call special attention to the
low price of wages paid to the negro
laborers in the South when compared
with those of the well-paid wOrkingmen
In the North. AS soon as his false
statements il regard to the wages paid
ia the South reached that section, they
were shown to be totally incorrect by
the local press, and especially so by a
newspaper published at Birmingham,
Alabama, which has become a great
iron manufacturing centre. Congress
man William d. Kelley, who was in
Birmingham last week with party Of
business men from the North, was invi-
ted TO address the people of that place in
the Opera House on the mineral resour-
ces Of the South, and the bearing thereon
of the tariff Mr.. Kelly complied with
the invitation, and as he had pretty
closely investigated the wages question
as far at least as the iron establishments
at birmingham were concerned, DeIOTe
he commenced his address, for he
stated 10 his audience that when he got
back TO. Philadelphia he would tell his
people tnst the negro iaDoTers OF Ala
bama and Tennessee were as well paid
as white laboIers IN Pennsylvania. This
announcement was received by the
meeting with great applause. Ard yet
il Blaine were to go to Philadelphia and
Pittsburg next week and repeat his
speech in October at both places, his
remarks would be received with the
SAM applause that manifested itself
then. Such is Republican credulity and
such is the influence that hard faced
demagogue ike Blaine can WELD over
crowd Of his UnleasoniDg followers.

vote would probably he pTcportiouately
as formidable in Ohio. Illinois and
Pennsylvania as in New Y York and New
jersey.
In the face of such situation the duty
of the Democratic party is plain. Ii has
always been the party of the people. T.
must continue to be. It has always been
antagonistic to monopolies, land grab
biEg and all kindred wrongs. 1t must
be still more earnest and determined in
such autagonism. II has always opposed
all forms of unjust and unequal taxation.
It must make its position OF this ques-
tion palmer than ever. IL has always
favored legislation for the poor Of The
most liberal possible character. and it
must now make its leaning in this direc-
tion so clear that misunderst anding it
will be impossible. 1t must do these
things because it is right that they
should be done. Being right, 1t will
win. When it satisfies all who want
only what is fair, il can affeTd TO be
quit of those who demand what is
unfair Wilkesbarre Union Leader.

WELL informed Washington newspa-
per correspondents are authority for the
statement that Mr.. Edmunds is pIepar-
!Og a mighty attack upon Mr.. .Cleveland's 8
administration, which he intends firing
off sometime during the present session.
We don't believe that Edmunds cOntem-
plates anything of the kind, for the
reason that he has had some bitter
experience in that line and has learned
like a burnt child to dread the fire. Ev-
eTybUdy will remember that a short time
after the Senate met q year ago, Ed
muuds made what Rel ublican newspaper
editors regarded as crushing attack
against the right of the President to re-
mOys OF suspend an Office holder when
the Senate was not in session, and every
one win recoIIect that it ended in the
complete disco Cmfture of the Vermont
Senator. IL was regarded as somewhat
amazing that man of his ackno wIedged
ability could soar so high only TO fall so
low. We hardly think that Edmunds
has so soon forgotten the lesson that he
learned in mOkiDg that memorable and
rash attack. Ii he attempts TO repeat
it he must have solid ground upon which
10 stand, and we know of no act of Mr..
ClevelaDd's administration which will
afford him that security.

A late dispatch from Washington
says: There is only one point On which
all the returning Congressman agree,
and that is that no very important new
legislation is likely to be undertaken Mt
the short session. On all public questions
there is the same wide variance of Opiu-
ion that made the long session 50 barren
of results. Weu-Informed Democrats
who have seen the President lately, be-
lieve that he will define his ideas on the
tariff mOIe clearly ii his forthcoming
message than he did last year. They
think be will say the time is too short
IN which to formulate a scheme for the
thorough revision of the tariff, but that
he will urge the passage of a halfway
measure like the Hewitt bill.
There is considerable speculation
amoEg the returning Congressman as to
what the President will say on the silver
question this year. They think he is
not likely to take the back track, but
they regard it as quite probable that he
will insist upon his anti-silver views
with far less vehemence than he mani
tested last year. Mr.. CleYeland would
not object TO being President for four
years more, say the politicians, even if
a majority Of his party were against his
financial theories. One financial sugges-
tion that the President is seriously con-
siderlng is the Iefunding of the Al per
cent. bonds. which fail due in 1891, with
a three per cent. thirty-year bend

John Dillon up for a Hearing.

DUBLIN, Nov. 30.-The case of the
government against John Dillon came
up for hearing to-day. before the Court
of Queens Bench. Nj. Dillon appeared,
accompanied by Lord Mayor Sullivan
and Messrs. Healy and Sexton. Great
crowds surrounded the building. and the
court room and corridors were packed.
Mr.. Dillon was greeted with tremendous
cheering by the people when he arrived,
and his passage into the court was amid
enthusiastic applause. Mr.. Healy, on
behalf of Mr., Dillon, applied for an ad-
tournament of the hearing. He said he
had only been instructed as 70 the nature
OF the Crowns complaint last night as
the Crowns affidavits were exceedingly
voluminous, the defense would REQUIRE
time to properly study them. The
counsel for the government made no op-
position, and the hearing was adjourned
until December 11th.

devotion to the duties of his office. His

1885,.

The labor movement aside, there can
be little question as to the result Of the
election of 1888. The indications of the
contests Of this year all point to another
term of Democratic control of the Pres
idency. Tho Democrats secured major
tiles in enough states to give them a
large pTeponderance in the Electoral
College, and the aggregate increase of
the majorities over those OF 1884 was but
little either way from a quarter of a
million votes.
All the states that were made to seem
doubtful are OF those that voted for
Blaine in 1884, for no fair reasoning can
place either Virginia or Indiana in the
doubtful column, the Democratic revers-
es in each being eonspicuously due to
local causes or over-confidence, the one
not at all likely and the other certain
rot to be repeated two years hence. CAL
ifornia and Connecticut appear to be
safely landed on the Democratic side and
Massachu usetts, New Hampshire and
Colorado require very little change to
make them all reliably Democratic, not
to speak of the northwestern states that
are gradually verging in the the same
direction.
If there is anything to create doubt of
the result in 1888 it Is the labor move
ment, and the possibility that its leaders
may insist upon concessions as to candi-
dates and platforms that the Democratic
party could not in honor agree TO, and
lead off dangerous detection from the
rank and file in pivotal states in conse-
queDce of the refusal There cannot
possibly be Republican Labor coalition.
The workingmen will never make an al
lY OF the party responsible for every
wrong of which they justly complain. 1t
is equally certain, therefore, that the
Republican leaders will do all they can
to encourage third nomination, though
ii is just possible that such nomination
would transfer more Republican states
to The Democrats than Democratic
states to the Republicans, for the labor
