THERE are none so blind az those

or good of any kind, so long as the
Democrats are in power.
In his jeremiad at Portsmouth the
Senator shut his eyes and declared /:

gushing 1t is felt by every business
man. farmer aud labOrer, that distrust

Mr.. Sherman may keep his eyes

Senator's stauDch friend, Murat Hal

" Evidences are plenty and mIstak-
able 10 show that general business is
on the mend" There is not exactly a
boom, he said, but the improvement
is steady, safe, sure, and rapid, too"
And he wound up by affirming that
" better feeling exists among manu-
facturers and merchants than has been
seen for years." and that confidence
Is first rate business backer."
Senator Sherman's crOall does not

rowdy, when, to end the matter with
out further delay. he took the rowdy by
the "nape of the neck" led him to the

The kicked picked himself up, walked
away, and here the matter ended.
Some weeks afterward McClung was in
New Orleans. and, when, walking up
St Charles street, saw the fellow he had
kicked out of the Prentiss House kick

loon. McClung walked up to his old
acquaintance. once kickee. but now the
kicker, and scanning him closely, said:

not the man kicked out of the Prcntiss
House the other day?"
Softly, softly, colonel" replied the
rowdy, taking McClung by the arm,

Misrepresehiing Nc Bride.

The Republican journals throughout
misrepresentation of the sentiment of
John Mcbride, by copying an alleged
paragraph from u speech delivered by
him before a meeting of miners in the
Hooking Valley. The distorted para
graph, as published by them is as fol-
lows:
Whenever in these United States.
the aristocrats of government secure
hold upon the people, and become
domineering and dictatorial in their
encroachments upon the people las

days previous to the revolution) |
trust l will be found in the ranks of
the people, a Socialist if you like, u
Communist fyou like, nay, and more,
an anarchist if you like, to tear them
up. root and branch"
This Is a clear case of misrepresonta-
ton of facts. The speech from which
the paragraph is taken was delivered
before meeting of the miners of the
Hooking Valley, at Buchtel. and was
arranged several months before the
nomination of Mr.. Mcbride as Secre-
tary of State. He was addressing the
assemblage on the subject of trades
unions" and while delivering his
speech q Republican newspaper was
handed him containing virulent at.
tack upon trades unions. The article
stated thst "the trade unions of today
were actuated by the same desire
and prompted by like. motives as
were the Communists of France, in
the days of the revolution, when the
streets of The beautiful city of Paris
ran red with human gore" Flushed
with Indignation, burning with ell
thusiasm, Mcbride read the paper, and
holding it aloft replied as follows:
WHAT MCBRIDE DID SAY.
This is false and slanderous at.

people, for the people and by the
people.
This, then is the communism, an
archism, treason, etc, as it is STYLED
by the Republican press, of John Me
Bride. More loyal words were never
uttered, and in all his dealings with
the laboring men of Ohio Mr.. Mcbride
has never made single speech which
can be justly criticised as incendiary o.
communistic. The repeated attempts
to misrepresent him and distort fact.
have failed, and the blunders of the
Republican press on this subject is al
open confession of their lack of salien
points for attack.

GOVERNOR HILL, of New York, in
an interesting review, indicates he
may make one or two speeches in
Pennsylvania before election and also
in Ohio. Referring to the subject of
removals from office, he believed that
by the time the Presidents term had
come to q close the Democrats would
be found in q majority of the offices.
1t was we'll to be conservative at the
start. The Democratic party, the
Governor further said, came into pow
or new to public administration, and
1t was without doubt wise way to go
more deliberately at first. He spoke
pleasantly of the President and his
associates.

OHIO will vote in November this
year for the first time under the con-
Stitutional amendment adopted last
October. The change in the time Of
holding elections has undoubtedly
robbed the State of much of the pres
fioe which she had heretofore. In
former years both parties concentrated
their money and best speakers in Ohio
to carry the norfsot s,eotibe besripg ON the ~eS.
arsl result throughout the Union.
Now things are sadly changed. No
ona outside of Ohio seems to care much
Shout the election, and the barrel has
not been tapped to supply the hungry
workers with grease to lubricate the
party machinery. The Ohio politi
cc;ans are not happy over the prospects
Snr the future and are decidedly indif.
ferent as to the outcome next month.

A NAMElESS CASE.

My case has been very curious one for
about thirteen years. At intervals of about
one week would be attacked with spells of
severe and excrucisting pain, always com
mencing in the region of my kidneys. The
pain would then go upwards and affect my
body and head, and seemed to penetrate my
very eye-balls, creating the most intense
suffering. lasting about eight hours each
spell.
| resOrted TO all kinds of medicine without
benefit. Several doctors treated my case,
but none gave relief. finally used B. B. b.
as All experiment. and TO my utter astonish
ment, all pain and suffering vanished. after
using three doses. To the present time l
have used three bottles, and not pain has
ever returned. do not know what was the
matter, neither could my physc name
the complaint. The B. B. B. acted finely
and powerfully upon my kidneys; my appe-
tite has been splendid and my constitution
built up rapidly. X. THOMAS.

The German Soldiers Big Boots.

In the German army the fatherland
kindly provides very roOmy boots for its
warriors. There is very serious incon-
venience, however, attending the dispro-
portion between the sizes of boot and
feet In very soft, tenacious ground the
boots are felt sticking, while the man
goes on, casting an affectionate farewell
look behind him, but halt he cannot.
When the Eighteenth army corps, two
years ago, detiled before the emperor at
Strasburg across a stubble field which
rain had rendered very sticky and
muddy, the boots of the infantry were
pulled off by hundreds, so that fatigue
party had to be told off, amid great laugh
ter, TO gather up the lost property. This
is no exaggeration, and in military his
tory the occasion is still known as the
boot parade" Three or four years ago
at the maneuvers near Berlin we saw
thousands of men suffering agony from
boots that wrung their feet. This is q
very important matter, and would tell
seriously in a campaign.-NewY York
