on his lungs; had tried many remedies with
out benefit; being induced to try Dr Kings
New Discovery for consumption, did so, and
was entirely cured by use OF few bottles;
since which. time he has used 1t in his family
for all coughs and colds with best results;

EVERY community is cursed by the
presence of class of people who make
it their business to attend to everybody's
business but their own. Such people are
the meaBest specimens of depraved hui
manity' which an All-wise Providence
permits to exist on this earth. 1t is
well known that almost every person is
sometimes disposed to speak evil of 9TH
ers, and tattling is sin from which very
few can claim to be entirely exempt.

SECRETARY MANNING shows that the
revenues of 1885 will be S25,000,000 less
than in 1885, and the expenditures S16,'
100000 more. 1t quite accords with the
theory that there wouldn't be much of
a surplus if the Democrats were permit
ted to run the government for few
years more.

FRIENDS of the proposed National
Bankrupt Act have about given up hope
of securing its passage at the present

our National Legislature cannot find
time to do something for the business

its efforts to grind out political capital.

INGERsOLL's MEDICATION.

Recently a number Of Free
Thinkers in New York charged
Col. R. G.. Ingersoll with double
dealing in regard to the proceeds
of a lecture which he delivered in
the interests of the Liberal League.
The friends of the eloquent inhdel
and great apostle Of ethical hon
estv we're not only surprised but
greatly mortified that a man who
had humorously held up to the
popular ridicule ''The Mistakes OF
Noses" should be called upon to
explain an apparently very ugly
mistake of his own. His admirers
rejoice to find that he is equal to
the occasion. He boldly steps to
the front and declares:
The statement by a Cleveland
Spiritualist paper that he pocketed
the proceeds of lecture given for
the benefit of the Secular Union is
false. The engagement for the lee
ture was his own private affair.
He paid all Of the expenses OF the
meeting of the union and gave 1t
about $1,000 besides. ..#
Bob's explanation will be &C
cepted. 1t puts an honest face on
the affair, and places the great ora
tor on top of the God haters.

think that In justice to her, she ought
to bave the member thi time. We

interests, can comprehend the wants
and necessities of the other districts

several; but Squire Levi f. Miller
seems to be the preference. He is a

at that, and all think this an addition.

WILSON has been weighed in the
balance and not found wanting. No
Democrat can afford TO desert him.
Let us stay right with him and he
will stay with US. During his two

tated to perform in the interests Of
his constituents. Republicans, as
well as Democrats, admit this. Go

What Prohibit onIs.

Prohibition promises to enter into
this campaign to greater extent than
usual. Prohibition is a peculiar po-
litical doctrine, so peculiar indeed
that many of its own followers don't
know what it is. 1t is a theory that
the majority have a right to say what
men and women shall eat, drink and
wear. At present it is confined to
the declaration that men shall not
drink Intoxicating liquors, but its
effect is even more wide-reaching
than above stated; for, if it is right
for portion of the people to say
that the others shan't drink whiskey,
it is also right to say they shan't
drink coffee, or chew tobacco, or
wear anything but silk hats or dress.
es, or eat anything but pork, or at.
tend any but certain church.
In the strong but truthful language
of contemporary: mo man belives
in sumptuary law but a tyrant or a
fool" 1t is plain as pike-stad
that all such laws are in open conflict
with the spirit of our free institutions,
and no matter how good the inten-
tons of the prohibitionists, they are
on the wrong track. "Better bear the
ills we have, than to fly TO others we
know not of."-Connelsville Courier.
