Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has eansed such general
revival of trade at III. c. Perce's drug store as ms
giving away his customers of so many free triai
bottles of DIR. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton. His trade is simply enormous IN tins very
yaluape aFtcle from the fact that it always cures
and meyer disappoints. Coughs, Colds asthiiia'
bronchitis, Group and all throat aga lung dlseases
quickly cured. You test it before buying by
getting a trial bottle free, large size 81. Every
bottle warranted.

Nothing is more absurd than that
free wool would give foreign markets
to American manufactures. Give us
the wool at precisely the same price
that the English obtain it, and there
is still the difference in wages, max
ing it impossible for us to compete
with England. If we had no wooden
manufactures England could combine
against us, and the result would be
that we would pay far more than we
do now. We certainly have free cot
ton, and we cannot compete with the
countries where the wages are so
much lower. If the working people
are willing to have their wages re-
duced, if they are willing to work at
European prices, if the farmers are
willing to take their chances with the
Asiatics, why then free trade is the
policy otherwise we must protect
our own hands and our own brains

Germany's young Kaiser is report
ed as designing to suggest, after COM
ing to an understanding with Russia,
that the great European powers re-
duce their ornaments and relieve
their people to some extent of the
terrible burden of taxation for mill
tary and naval purposes. This
would be the greatest step taken by
any monarch of our time, and final
proof of the sincerity of the Kaiser's
desire for peace in Europe.

cLEvELAND's LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
1884.
OF the means to this end (the full
realization of government by the
people, not one would, in my iuda
ment, be more effective than al
amendment to the constitution dis
qualifying the President from re-elee-
ton.
When we consider the patronage Of
this great office, the allurements Of
power, the temptations to retain pub
lie place once gained, and, moe
than all, the availability party finds
In an incumbent whom a horde of Of
flee holders with a greed born of ben
efits received, and fostered by tie
hope of favors yet to come, stand
ready to aid with money and trained
political service, we recognize in the
eligibility of the President for re-
election a most serious danger to that
calm, deliberate and intelligent po-
litical action which must character
ize a government by the people.
CLEvELAND's SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE,
1888.
I cannot but be profoundly i'm
pressed when | see about me the mes
sengers of the National Democracy
bearing it's summons to duty. The
political party to which | belong both
honors and commands me.
The message which you brieg
awakens within me the the liveliest
sense of personal gratitude and sat-
isfaction.
The occasion reminds me most WV
idly of the scene when, four years
ago, I received a message from my
party similar to that which you now
deliver. / shall not dwell upon the
acts and policy of the Administra-
ton now drawing to a close. 1t but
remains for me to say to you, and
through you to the Democracy OF the
Nation, that l accept the nomination
with which they have honored me.

The anti-saloon movement is max

ever known in the state. the Prohibit

Mexico's terrible calamity on the
18th ult. was but meagrely reported
in the daily papers; and yet the loss
of life in Leon and Silao alone foots
up to about 800, while the property
loss is estimated at above 81 900, 900.
Heavy rains caused freshet in the
Silao and contiguous rivers. The
dikes gave way, and the district was
speedily converted into vast lake.
The disaster occurred at night. Over
half of the city of Leon, which has
80, 900 inhabitants. was submerged.
The adobe houses quickly yielded to
the rushing torrents, the unfortunate
.sleepers being either crushed to death

The veterans are rapidly declaring
for Gen. Harrison. At Pittsburg,
Pa, Gen. A. L. Pearson, national
commander of the Veterans Legion,
who supported Hancock in 1880, has
come back to the republican fold, and
will work for the election of Harrison
and Morton. Chas. F. McKenna, a
prominent democratic lawyer, who
served in the war on the Union side
and is now a leading Grand Army
man, has forsaken the party of his
life and will do his level best to Sc
cure the victory of the grandson of
Tippecanoe. These are said to be
but the forerunners of large defec-
tons in democratic ranks by Union
veterans.

When the war broke out Levi Z.
Morton was in the wholesale dry
goods business in Boston. His south
ern customers did not pay HIM and
he failed. He settled with his cred
itors for fifty cents on dollar and
in few years was on his feet again
in New York. Then he sent every
man he owed at the time of his fail
ure an invitation to dine with him,
and when they were gathered around
the table each one found under his
plate a check for the unpaid balance,
with interest from the time the debt
was contracted.

NEW York, Feb. 3.-The United Labor
party will hold national convention In this
city in April The exact date is not fixed,
but it will probably be early in that month.
There is a heap OF uncertainty in this mat
ter and it relates to something more impor-
tant, il not disrupting than a question of
time and place Henry George and Father
McGlynn are out Their difference is more
than one Of minor opinion. McGlynn is con-
WINGED that George is not statesman, but
mere politician. McGlynn is fixed in his
judgment that the Labor party should, in its
convention, name a wholly independent can
date for the presidency. George is earnestly
bent on fusion with the Democracy, taking
the free trade doctrine as a basis for the
amalgamation. The estrangement between
the two men is complete. McGlynn used to
make Georges Office his headquarters. For
week he has kept away from the place He
was asked to what extent he and George were
opposed as to the proper policy for the Labor
party,
W. hbih AiittuletIlNtlll1 NOnlThTy NltWb,
said he. II am as sure as l am OF going to
heaven that the Labor party will go TO de-
struction if it fools with either of the old
parties. We have an issue, and only one.
We have no business to attempt TO throw the
weight of the workingmen, as a body, for or
against free trade or protection. That We
should turn aside from the straight path
which George originally laid out for US is
/ shall advocate a separate in
dependent candidate and campaign before
the convention, and am hopeful that shall
carry the point MI. George will oppose me-
no doubt, and likely enough he feels as con-
fident as / do of carrying the convention"
George said: "Free trade is going to be- the
great issue, and the Labor party can't get
along without taking it up. We should be
free traders to a man. and il we are, what is
the use of running separate man for presi-
dent If we have tho chance to vote for free
trader who might be elected"

THE FIRE IN THE LITTLE CRlPPLES'
HOSPITAL EXPLAINED.

An Eleven -Year-OId Girl Makes the Shock
ing Confession That She Is the In
cendiRry-She Makes Two More At
tempts-Mysterious Fires at AN Orphan
AsyIum-COmmon Cussedness.
NEW YoRK, Feb. s. The incendiary who
set fire to the hospital for ruptured and Grip
pied children last Sunday night has been
discovered in the person OF an I-year-old
Eirl named May Wilson. She had been in
the hospital nearly three years suffering from
wry neck, and was about to be sent to her
home as cured, when the crime was discov-
cred. Tuesday afternoon DIR. Gibbs found
a box of matches on the register in his
room, and next day another box was found
in exactly the same SPOT In both cases the
cover of table standing near wass arranged
in such way that il one of the fuses ignited
the room would be in IA blaze in few min
utes. Mays queer actions aroused suspicion,
and after close questioning she confessed.
She does not know why she did it, May will
be brought to the district attorneys office
but it is doubtful If charge Of arson can be
made against so young child.
In addition to the attempt to set fire TO the
building as Sunday, there were two
attempts thursday, one just before the girl
was induced to confess, and one while she
was being questioned. She admittei causing
them. In both these cases wood work was
actually ignited The fire caused almost a
repetition of Sundays panic, and a still
alarm was sent out, bringing the firemen to
the scene, The building was filled with
smoke, but only 800 damage was done.

"UNLEss the democrats in congress
stand together" says the Atlanta CoaSti,
tuition, 1.-THE party will be defeated next
fall" Tue smallness of the democratic
majority in the house renders united
action necessary to the passage ola bill
to stop the surplus by reducing taxes.
How shall such union be effected? What
is the democratic way when there is a
difference of opinion in regard to party
policyl Is not the rule of the majority
the essence of democracy Of the one
hundred and sxty-eiSht democratic mem
bers in the present house certainly more
than two-thirds are in favor of reducing
the war tariff upon the necessities of the
people. More than one hundred have
expressed themselves in approval OF the
presidents message. Is it right, is it
democratic, for the small minority to in
sist that the party shall "stand together"
by having the great majority march over
to the position taken by the former2 1t
is only necessary to state the prop ositio n
to show its injustice and absurdity. The
concession of a repeal of the internal
taxes on domestic tobacco is all that can
in reason be asked of the ma Orlty in the
way of compromise. Let the party
''stand together by observing the demo-
cratic principle of majority rule.

THE Aledo Democrat insinustes that
Judge Peasants political prejudice must
have influenced his decision some in the
Council case. 1t says:
The decision of Judge Peasants in the
case of The People VS., James II. Cornell
is published in full in the Democrat to-
day. The decision was received here last
Friday. but about two weeks short of four
months from the time the cause was
heard. But when the result of his med>
itatiOn is considered. it is not very strange
that SO long time had elapsed. II of
course would take much time to prepare
an argument so plausible as is his, when
so many obstacles were in the way to the
conclusion reached. Judge Pleasauts is
said to be q very able judge, aud against
his honesty We have never heard word
nor would we utter word, but in case
of political nature like this. when the
decision is for the party with whom the
judges sympathies would be, should he
show any, and which to reach 80 many
crooked ways had to be made straight
and rough places made smooth, it is with
no little difficulty that the opposition can
believe that the law and the facts alone
governed. The case will next 90 to the
appellate court, which meets in May, and
to which it is believed Mr.. Connell's eli
gibility will not appear so clear.

DIES MONIES, Feb. 8. The senate railway
committee Wednesday, after hearing Judge
McDnl and others in opposition to the @-cent'
fare bill, and arranging to hear more argu =
ment in two or three days, took the rather
peculiar action Of agreeing to report the bill
under consideration at once to the senate,
and it came up Thursday for action. There
was a long debate, resulting in the blu being
recommitted. 1t is, however, expected to
pass. The house passed to engrossment the
bill prohibiting townships voting aid to rail-
ways The bill prohibiting the sale of to-
bacco to miness under l6 was engrossed.
Several amendments which were not
adopted, were proposed. One was by Hotch-
kiss, who moved to include Legislators, state
officers, and preachers, and said lie wanted
to de Tend boys from bad example.

the south. 1t was a law inviting foreigners
TO help TO make good the absence of brave
Union soldiers. He would have voted then
for any kind OF law TO defeat the Democratic
party OF that day. But he was sure that he
had voted for its repeal whenever that mat
ter was presented.
He congratulated congress that the country
was now to have fair, square, manly issue
presented on the industrial question; ques-
tion which affected the life, property and in
terests OF every citizen; a question between
protected labor in this country and the
pauper labor Of Europe; question between
diversified industries and that Of a single

smiths and carpenters shops collected

Amid the hum of applause which followed
the close OF Sherman's remarks Reagan rose
and briefly defended the Democratic party
from the charge that 1t had presented no
affirmative proposition during the ten years
that the party had ma ority in the house
OF representatives He disclaimed response
bility for party which had not control Of
both houses and of the executive ct the
same time, and yet he claimed for the Dem
ocrats the credit OF several important meas
ures-inclvdng the retention OF part OF the
greenback issue, the silver coinage law, the
forfeiture of railroad land grants, and the
interstate commerce act. The motion to re-
fer the presidents message then went over

THE plea that the internal revenue
system should be repealed in order that
the states might increase the local taxes
on liquor is in the nature of false pre-
tense. There is nothing in the Internal
revenue taxes to prevent the states from
putting any tax on liquor they may
please. Hence a repeal of these taxes
would have no influence upon the policy
of any state in regard to The liquor traffic.
The sole aim of the agitation for the
abolition of the interual,revenue system
is to maintain the tariff system in all its
rIgor. Protectionists who favor the most
oppressive and inquisitorial liquor laws
when passed by the states furiously assail
the internal re venue laws, which are mod
Grafton itself compared with some of
these local enactments. The protection
lists of Maine and Kansas have quite re-
Gently become convinced of the tyranni~
cal character of the federal laws for coll
lecting tax upon whisky, the sale of
which they prohibit with pains and pen
allies at which a Draco would blush
The strength of the pious conviction of
the iniquity of the internal-revenue laws
has grown in the protectionist mind in
proportion with the fear that congress
might reduce the taxes on the necessar
les of living. But that the tariff fed
monopoles and trusts" are anxious to
maintain these extortionate taxes upon
the earnings of honest labor, 1t is proba>
BILE that little would be heard from their
organs and orators in regard to the inter-
nal tax on whisky.

son, of the club, opened the meeting with a
speech, reviewing the situation and explain
ing what the club was expected to do in the
coming campaign. Col. Watrous paid his
respect to the three Republican Senators
who voted for Lamar's confirmation and
made it possible for the Buffalo mayor to
elevate an unrepentant rebel to so important
a position. The senator from Virginia did
not amount to anything, and the other two
were but big bags of money"
