What British Gold Is Doing.

There may be better authorities on
free-trade do:ngs and the disbursements
of the Golden Club than the Chicago
Tribune but we doubt it. The Tribune
has come near being read out Of the
Republican ranks several times on &C
count of an alleged leaning toward free
trade. Hence the following from its
columns has peculiar interest:
Rumors are current that British gold
has been subscribed in large sums to
help re-elect Cleveland. 1t is the be-
lief of many who are well posted that
the Democrats will virtually have bar
rels of money sent over from England
within the next few weeks to scatter
throughout the country in the interest
of free-traders. A gentleman who az
rived from England recently declared
that he never saw Englishmen so inter
ested in American politics before, and
nearly all were anxious to see President
Cleveland reelected, because he repre-
sented the true British idea OF free
trade. He heard, and fully believed,
that English manufacturers had already
subscribed nearly 100000 toward the
Democratic campaign fund. Thousands
of Cleveland badges and buttons, he
asserted, had been manufactured there
and sent to this country to be distrib.
uted free. The Golden Club, in Lon
don, was bestirring itself and doing all
| it could to assist President Cleveland
financially and otherwise. Secretary
Fassett, of the Republican National
executive committee, was today asked
| if he had heard anything about British
gold being sent to this country to help
the Democrats. He said he had heard
great deal about it, and rather
thought that where so much smoke
prevailed there certainly ought to be
some fire. The Golden Club, of Lon
don, he averred, was, according to di-
rect accounts, doing yeOman's service
| for the Democratic cause in the way OF
sending over badges and buttons. 1t
is believed that the fund repor' ed to
have been subscribed by the British
has reached this country and is now al
the disposal of the Democratic Nation
al Committee, with and by the advice
of President Cleveland.

A good example of the way thes
laborites wilt when their wild state
ments are confronted by facts is related
by the Hope Herald as follows:
A few days ago, while Fl. ]. Little,
the wealthy ranchman. was in town,
he met Mr.. n. Thurstin, whoSis an ar
dent Union Labor man, and political
discussion ensued. Mr.. Little is Re-
publican of the deepest dye. The
question under discussion was the tariff
and during the debate Mr.. Little made
the assertion that the wages of miners
in America were three times as much
as those of their English brothers. Sc
convinced was Mr.. Little of the truth
of this statement that he offered tt
back it with bet of $500. Mr.. Thur
stin, at once accepted the wager and in
company with Mr.. Little started for the
Farmers Bank. The former however
weakened and would not bet, leaving
Mr.. Little the victory, even If he die
not get the $500.

We admire. 1.-THE sturdy independence
and fealty to Republicanism exhibited by
Senator ingalls, who will soon take the
stump for Harrison and Morton and
proceed to do Herculean work for the
party. And this notwithstanding the
scoring he has received at the hands
of some self-appointed censors IN the
shape of editors..who would read him
into limbo on account of the treachery
of his friends(?). He is still Repub'
lican all through and will be until he
dies. He is like man who was ex'
PEELED from church for different kinds
of ungodly conduct, including profanl'
ty. On the following Sunday he went
to church, and, standing in the door
way, he howled out at the congrega
zion: "You can scratch my name OF
the church roll if you want to, BLANK
you, but you can't scratch my name nj
the Lambs Book of Life, blank blank

Give Them a Chance.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all

derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading from
them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they cannot
do well.
Call it cold, cough Group, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the
family of throat and nose and head and

1.-The idea of carrying North Caroline
for the Republican ticket has been rid
iculed a good deal, but judging by the
testimony of Democrats themselves, il
is not such a remote possibility after
all. A confidential appeal for money
from the Democratic State committee
of North Carolina has fallen into the
hands of the National Republican com
mittee. 1t is highly interesting from
a Republican point of view. 1t state:
that the State is in doubt, that there
are dissensions in the Democratic party
and requests the payment of large con
tributiOnS.

Abilene ought to be the news center

such is its hide-bound old fogyism that
not three times a year is a sentence
sent over the wires from this city un-
less by special correspondents. While
our neighboring cities are mentioned
almost daily in the metropolitan jour
nails, Abilene is only known of through
the local papers.
During the past two months there
have been held here four important
conventions, yet not word has the

In Brief. and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and VOL
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American
people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American
people so healthy that they can enjoy
their meals and be happy.
Remember-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for bottle.
