Senator John Sherman, January,

ly revised with a view to correct any
inequalities Or incongruities that have
grown out of the change of values
since the passage Of the act Of 1888
every imported article which does not
compete with our domestic industry
and is essential to the comfort and

The republican liars are now trying
to get in their fine work. A report
was sent out from New York to the eff
feet that Mr.. Cleveland had requested
Mr.. Brice to resign as chairman of the
National Executive Committee, and
that he had asked Senator German to
take the position. A more barefaCed
lie than the above was never publish
ed. Not only has Mr.. Cleveland not
requested Mr.. Brice to resign, but he
is entirely satisfied with his manage
ment, and is in full accord with every
thing that has been done. Senator
German might have been chairman
of the committee when it organized,
but, owing to the prospective long SEES
sion of Congress, he declined; but rs
a member of the committee he spends
as much time as possible at the head
quarters in New York, and Mr.. Brice
has had the benefit of his advice and
concurrence in every move that he
has taken, There is no clashing of
any kind, either among the members
of the national committee or between
them and Mr.. Cleveland. They all
are tremendously working to bring
about the election OF Cleyeland and
Thurman, and they have no doubts
about succeeding. This is official and
may be relied upon.

Cash can drive prices down to hard
pan, dig through hard pan to the solid
rock bottom, bore its way through the
rock and actually knock the bottom
out of prices; and makes old hard
times howl. 1t can get the best goods
at panic prices, while ii empties ouv
shelves and gives you needed articles
it also fills your Golfers by the large
amount you save. To see it do all
these things and more too, you need

will perform all kinds of antics and
gymnasiums, to your delight, solid
comfort and profit.

The republican theory is that the
government should take care of tho
rich, and leave it to the rich to take
care of the poor. The democratic the.
DRY is that government should take
care of the poor and let the rich take
care of themselves. This is a perfect
ly correct and true analysis OF the
difference between the two parties.-

An English View.

LONDON, Aug. 26,-The Daily
News discussing President Cleveland's
message on the fishery question says
that it does not belive that Mr.. Cleve-
land acted from temper or for party,
but that he thinks his action was the
next best thing to the adoption of the
rejected treaty, it being impossible
that statesman of so great nation
should act otherwise.

The House passed . resolution re.
voking the leaves of all except sick
absentees. This action was taken for
several reasons. First, the House has
been for some days without quorum
which fact has enabled the Republi.
cans to block legislation, Second, and
principally, because it is desired tc
pass the bill already introduced, tc
give Mr.. Cleveland the necessary au.
thority to bring the Canadians tc
their senses. While it is not known
that the Republicans will attempt tc
oppose the bill, it was thought best tc
take no chances, therefore the absen
tees have been recalled.
