If Virginia is saved to the Democratic
column-and God grant that she is-then
the result ID due to the fourth congress
sional district. Gentlemen Of the valley
and of the southwest, bear this fact in
mind.-IndGc Appeal.
If the State has gone Democratic, the
cause assigned by our contemporary may lie
correct. The 4th district ought to ha, 9
given a Republican majority of ffsm
5000 to 10000, whereas it is not 5000, by
the. returns as published. But even
with this falling off, the State IS Republic
can, when the vote IN Halifax and Char.
loste is considered. Yaeae two counties
ought to give Republican majority of
about 1000, and yet they are reported as
having gone about that figure for the Dem
oerats. No fair minded man can doubt
that Virginia is Republican when the
facts above are noted.

If Gen. Harrison were to be judged only
by his bearing during the campslgn just
close j. and the versatility of his intellect
as dis played in the many brief, ST MT n
tious and etfe, tive speeches he made, he
would be placed among the FIRST statesmen
of the country. But his public life, as
soldier and civilian, justified the choice of
the Chicago convention and his subsequent
conduct simply emphasized the wisdom of
the selection.

LII Is due 10 Lne i'nns>de .pilld Press to
say that its staff correspondent, Mr..
Lambert. gave very correct est Innate of
the Republican strength and ma joritie5
In the several districts and cities of New
\ ork. After travelling through the in
duStrial districts and cities of that Stale,
he estimated the majority for Harrison,
outside OF New York and Brooklyn and
the five counties below Harlem Bridge, at
50 900. Tine actual majority was about
$4,000; New York city al So 900 for Cleve-
land, with an actual count of 81 900;
5000 in brooklyn, where $4,000 was the
result. | some of the counties the cor
resp Jndent came within IL few votes of
the result. The letters were written so
calmly and imp irtIallY that they carried
conviction with them, and it was upon
them. more than anything else. that we
based our conclusion of the result of the
Presidential election. 1t was a remarka-
BILE testimony to the care and sound judg-
ment OF the correspondent.

 Mr M. s. Hamlin, one of the best known insurance men in North Carolina, writes from Winston, as follows: '' Ever since was seven years of age l have had what the doctors call hip disease, and which I call white swelling. My hip was drawn out of place. There was swelling at the knee-joint, where there is profuse run- ming, which has been there for years. Of course this has greatly depleted my sys- tenn, together with surgical operation on the leg bone. I tried every known blood purifier to build up my system, but none did me good until took S. $. s. use it every spring. It always builds me up, giving me appetite and digestion, and ena- bles me to stand the long, trying, ener- vating, hot summer days.

OKLAHOMA.

The delegates to the convention Of
friends Of Oklahoma, which is in ses-
sion at Wichita to-day, may 60 about
their work with the fullest confidence
in the ultimate and early success OF
their efforts. At no time have the
prospects for the passage Of the Okla
hOma bill IN Congress been so bright
as to-day. In the house it has the
right of way. Action upon it must
precede any legislation of other than
purely financial character Its
passage would have been assured at
the last session Of Congress had 1t
not been for the absenteeism which
left the house without a quorum for
weeks before its adjournment.
The claim of the people Of the
United States to the right Of settle
ment IN Oklahoma Is not based only
upon the inallenable right of a civil
lied race to extend civilization over
a territory peOpled by uncivilized and
nOmadic abOrigines. Though such a
claim would be sufficient for all eX-
cept rabid sentimeHtalists, the pros
pectiVe settlers of Oklahoma may urge
their right of settling the territory
upon the ground that the Oklahoma
territory long age was deprived of
its character as a destinctively In
dian reservation by congressional &C
tiOn. This point the settlers have
long been anxious to test in the United
States courts, but though the federal
authorities fOrcibly eXpel settlers from
the territory they give the evicted
cOlonists no opportunity to defend
themselves and their property in the
courts.
Probably, however, the long strug-
gle Of the boomers for the right Of
settlement Will soon terminate in sue
cess. A determined effort should be
made to induce favorable cOngressiOn-
al action before the Fiftieth congress
adiOurns. We look to see the bust
ness men and citizens Of Kansas City
take the matter in hand, and make
THEMSELVES heard in Washington this
winter. Kansas city Ne2cs.

Now that the autumn is here with
its variable weather, the mother must
be on her guard against the dreadful
enemy Of the nursery. Prevention IS
even better than cure; and luckily
this frequently fatal disease casts its
shadows before" When tins shadow
appears in the form Of a we'll known
cough. which so alarms every mother,
she should be ready to do, and have
presence Of mind enough to know
what to do.
I will give you few simple rem
edies, and some Of them should always
be kept on hand if there are any
children about the house; for when
/ the first note of alarm is heard the
mother can not afford to lose a mo
ment of time.
Make a compress of flannel wiring
it out of hot water and apply it to the
/ child's chest, and over this lay a warm
/ dry flannel. Give about q teaspoon
! full of powdered alum and sugar or
mOlasses whenever the cough is heard
or until the cough IS easier. A little
syrup of ipecac often answers the
same purpose. Simply giving a tea
/ spoonful of mOlasses and sweet oil
when the cough is first heard has pre-
/ vented further trouble. These are
all simple remedies, which, if used
when the first sigh appears, viii pre-
vent the appearance of the disease.
One Of the most successful remedies
we have ever used when a child had

where the hand can be easily placed
upon it, as these attacks generally

and wise treatment.
There is nothing like being ready
for any emergency.-Ec

FataI Aocident-


DAYTON Twp. Nov. 18th, 1888.
Death visited the home Of John
Randolph at an early hour this morn
ing taking their son Marion, eyed I3
years. Yesterday he was alive and in
the full vigOr of youth, to-day at 2
O'Clock %. m he was buried Yester-
day afternoon he was out in company
with his brother and some other boys
hunting. His gun was accidentally
discharged, hitting him in the lower
part Of the stomach, hanging hlm IN
a terrible manner, but death did lot
relieve his suffering until this morn
ing. Quite a large number OF people
followed the remains to its last rest
ing place.
1t was sad indeed to see the grief
stricken parents standing by the new
made grave hand IN hand with their
little ones taking a last look, as their
son and brother was being buried out
of their sight. How fOrcibly it re
minds US Of the uncertainty of life.
We can look back over the past but
we know not what q day viii bring
forth. We would say to the sOrrOWing
parents that. although death has
taken one OF your loved ones, you can
yet through your tears see a shining
ray Of hope. God has SAID that there
will be a time when all who in their
graves shall come forth and then you
viii know your boy. The writer too
can sympathize with you, being in
early life left an orphan, and is look
ing forward to that grand reunion
when long lost loved ones will watch
for our coming and joyfully welcome
us when we reach the other shore.
