Mark Twain in his peculiar vein of humor
has said many funny things illustrative of the
hobbies of mankind; but none of them
surpass his story of how he treated cold
Every friend he met for weeks, had a "sure
cure" to suggest until finally the cold wore
itself out and as usual. the last remedy used
got the credit for the cure.
Experimenting with severe cold however
how trying this remedy and then that, is
dangerous business; for like lightning one
can never tell where Il cold may strike or
finally settle. 1t may locate in the head and
cause severe nasal catarrh; it may locate in
the throat or large bronchial tubes, causing
sore throat, laryngitis, bronchitis and con-
sumption, it may locate in the pleura, pro-
ducing dangerous pleuro-pneumonia it may
locate in the muscles, causing pains and
aches only equalled by rheumatism, or it may
locate in the small bronchial tubes or air cells
of the lungs, causing lobar-pneumonia, the
most to be dreaded of all results from cold
There is a right way to do everything, SO
there is rational treatment for a cold
which mnst be cured promptly. The first
result from cold is the retardation of every
secretive function in the body. Skin, lungs
kidneys and bowels, severally or all are
affected. Therefore, the first thing to be
done is to restore the functions of these
organs. Because of its effect upon the skin,
the old-fashioned rum sweat was an ex-
celient method to restore the action of the
pores of the skin. But it is dangerous
method to use, because SO few people are
willing to confne themselves to the house
long enough to recover; and to expose ones
self Immediately after sweat or warm
bath, is risking your life.
In treating cold among our active New
England people, some method must be used
that will admit of person attending to their
daily labor as usual.
Among such people, probably more colds,
more cases Of catarrh, bronchitis, sore
throat, cough and hoarseness, have been
cured by the use of Johhnson's Anodyne
Liniment than any other remedy known.
The large circular wrapper around each bot
tie, contains simple and plain directions for
treating and curing all these complaints
The proprietors, |. S. johnson & Co., %

to any address, free, valuable pamphlet on
the subject. Or for 35 cents, they will send
one bottle of Johnson's Liniment Six

Last Thursday evening the Franklin school
Dramatic Club gave Under the Laurels"
successfully, to q full house. The proceeds
were used to procure for the school new
and finely bound edition of Webster's Die
tionary, also a very convenient and ornamen-
tai easel, with two compartments, one for the
dictionary, the other for Johnson's Cyclic
poedia, which is so beneficial for the school.
Then the Club ordered Harpers Weekly and
the Youths Companion for one year,
for the reading room. So with the Kenne-
bee Journal and Lewiston journal, besides
various other papers such as the Golden Rule
Christian Mirror, N. Y. Tribune, Journal of
Education, the school does not lack for gen.
eral news.
Mrs. A. C. White Of Patterson, N. ].
brought her son to the school last Thursday
to fit for Bowdoin College.
The son Of w. II. Biglow of Augusta is
expected to enter the school this week.
The Topsham High school closes this
week with prize declarations.

The methods by which Sam Randall was
struck down in Pennsylvania by the
Clevelandites furnish IA singular COM
mentary on the professed sincerity of
Cleveland and his henchman, Scott, as
civil service reformers. The sending of
the 81 900 check to aid in the election eff
Fellows to the District Attorneyship of
New Y ork city, to whom nearly all the
best citizens were opposed for the most
conclusive reasons, was a fact which the
Mugwumps in vain tried to explain, and
which many of them severely denounced.
But his plainly implied permission for
his otliceholders to conspre and combine
for the defeat of Randall because this
gentleman cannot accept Cleveland's Free
Trade dogmas and plans, is even more
offensive to the best public opinion of the
Nation than his interference with the
municipal politics of New York city.
The following from highly respectable
source shows how was brought about

few days since the Civil Service Com
mission submitted 70 that great Civil Service
Ref0fmef, Grover Cleveland President of the
United States, for his approval. certain
amendments to the rules and regulations of
that Commission, among which was the fol-
lowing. whenever dismissal from the
Executive Civil Service is made, a written
statement of the dismissal must be filed in
the department or Office from which the dis
missal is made, and become part of the
records of such Department or Office" But
the President rejected this rule aud his
action is the subject of much comment here
both in private and political circles. Com
missioners Oberly and Lyman both recon-
mended it, but Judge Edgerton opposed it,
This rule was, in part at least, the sugges-
ton Of some of the leading Mugwumps, and
it had the earnest approval of them all
Strong influence was also brought TO bear
upon the President to prevail upon him to
approve the rule, but in vain. Ii would seem
that this would be better dose for the Mug
wumps to swallow.

Another New York Opinion OF Mr..
Blaine.
Syracuse Standard. |


NJ. Blaine reveals, in addition, two
marked features of advantage over all the
persons assumed to be his rivals for
certain honor. One of these is his relation
to protection. His study of this question,
his record as an expostor and defender
of protection principles, his complete
identification with this cause in 1884. make
him an ideal representative of Republican,
ism with respect to the paramount issue.
Another is his general popularity, which
extends beyond the confines of party. If
any one will name n Republican whose
strength with Independent and Democratic
workingmen and whose reputation for as
sertive Americanism are equal to Mr..
Blaine's. the party will surely give most
careful attention to his name. No propO-
sition so far made affects the wide impress
sion of Mr.. Blaine's unrivalled availability

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.
DIsrosISG OF THE SURPLUS
In the House of Representatives the week
began by the passage of the following ap-
preparation bills for public buildings. $780,
900 to Greenville, South Carolina population
G. leo; 800, 900 to Ashville, North Carolina
population 2.6l9; 100000 to Springfield,
Missouri, population 6.522; 100000 to
Ouachita county, Louisiana, population 400,
or $50 per capita. 1t also set apart I've DAYS
from February 81 to % for the consideration
of like bills amounting to s20, 000, 900. The
Democrats have not announced themselves as
favoring this manner of reducing the surplus.
but their acts do not always comport with
their words. If all the dirty and lazy towns
of the South are as favored as the above,
Mr.. Cleveland's anxiety over the surplus will
soon be thing of the past and happiness
will reign supreme, because the Solid South
will smile and may be North Carolina will
still go Democratic.
The Yrs AND Downs OF PRESIDENTIAL
Books.
Two weeks ago Mr. Cleveland seemed to
be on the top wave of success as regards the
denomination for the Presidency. Opposition
to him seemed hopeless. But reaction has
set in. and as compared with fortnight ago
Mr.. Cleveland's boom has lost much of that
brilliancy which recently characterized it,
while the Presidential diamond in Gov. Hills
bosom sparkles and scintillates to a degree
hitherto unknown. At this present writing
there exists a decided change of feeling
among Mr.. Cleveland's ardent supporters. A
path which seemed so straight to them in Jam
uary appears somewhat tortuous in February.
Rumor has it, however, that Ex-Mayor Grace
and score of other New York city politicians
who were here last week, had frequent con-
with the President, and that their
visit will be followed this week by more rad
ical changes in the New York Office, which
changes will rebound to the benefit of second
term for the present Chief Magistrate. Il
see why Grover Cleveland should not
render an account of himself to himself. He
is an offensive partisan" of the strongest
type. He ought to turn himself out of Office

WASHINGTON, November S0th.-ArriviDg trains
to-day have brought 10 the city considerable
number OF Representatives and Senators, and
by Monday there will be quorum of both
houses present. None of the California men,
bers have reached the city yet, but all of them
are expected here tomorrow or next day. At
Senator Stanford's residence nothing is known
OF the time he viii arrive, but he is expected
here by the middle of next week.
THE DIRECT TAX BILL.
No important business is expected to be trans
acted until after the holiday recess, with the
ception of a vote on the direct tax bill. AT the
last session, after long period of ilibustering
on the part of the opponents of the measure, II
was agreed that the whole subject should go
over until December 9th, when vote on the
bill should be taken Unless TINS agreement is
broken the direct tax bill will be pas sed next

THE NEXT HOUSE.
The few members at the capital to-day were
talking chiefly of the complexion of the next
House and little about the Speakership. 1t is
no longer admitted or claimed that there is any
doubt about the Republicans having majority
1t is variously placed at from five 10 nine. The
prospect of the majority being increased by
contests provokes discussion of the probability
of the Democrats flibuStering 10 prevent the
unseating of their men. Some OF the members
who viii be in the Fifty-irst Congress intimate
that such a course would rot be improbable.
THE sPEAKERsIIP
OF the next House is rapidly settling down to
question of section. The New England ms II, as
they come in, are declaring for Reed, and those
from the West and Northwest generally speak
favorabiy OF one of their own men. 1t is almost
certain that seed, Mckinley, Cannon and Bur
lows will each make an active canvass for the
place. and Mckinley is considered as having the
best chance for election.
