Until recently the durability of consumption
has been an unsolved question. A remedy and
cure have been sought as earnestly as the al
chemists of old pursued the hunt for the Phil
osopher's Stone. All the great schools of medi-
cine practically confessed defeat. No system
of diet sufieed to maintain the vitality or bodily
tissues of the patient. The only Cessation Of
the disease was death. Almost simultaneously
with the recent great strides in the physical
sciences was the advent of i'rs. Starkey < Pal
EMS Compound oxygen. Byits use the wasted
tissue is rapidly restored, the diseased condition
OF the lungs Is healed, tuhercles cease Ia form
and those already formed are absorbed and pass
away. Lost appetite revives and a new and

The Issues.

The nominations of the political par
ties are now ready for the public dis.
cussions of the people. The candidates
OF all the parties are very acceptable.
Their characters are above reproach
and each is a political exponent of
their party's principles wei which
most of the discussion will be.
Fisk and Brooks, the Prohibitionists
stand battle for the principles that "the
manufacture, importation, expectation
transportation and sale of alcoholic
beverages shall be made crimes and
punished as SUCH" These seems like
radical and rash grounds to take, yet
thousands will vote for it. The nation
al fame and widely known exalted
character of Gen. Fisk will do much to
increase the votes for these principles.
The main contest will be over the
policies of revenue taxation, whether
the present system of tariff taxation
shall be maintained or reformed. Har-
rison and Morton stand in favor of pro-
lection who would effect all needed re-
duction of the national revenue by re-
pealing the taxes upon tobacco and up.
ON spirits, used in arts and for mechani.
cal purposes and the entire repeal of in
ternal taxes rather than the surrender
OF any part of our protective system
Cleveland and Thurman, the Demo-
cratic candidates squarely join issues
by standing on a platform for a reduc-
ton of excessive taxation as laid down
in the Presidents last message and the
formulated plan of the Mills bill now
before Congress. Cleveland in his
message said. ut must be conceded
that none of the things Tobacco and
spurious and malt liquors. subjected
to internal reenue taxation are, strictly
speaking necessaries; there appear to
be no just complaint of this taxation,
and there seems to be nothing SO well
able to bear the burden without hard
ship to any portion of the people"
But our present tariff laws, the vic
ious, inequitable and illogical source of
unnecessary taxation, ought to be at
once revised and amended. These
as their primary and plain effect,
raise the price to consumers of all ar
ticles imported and subject to duty by

a scheme to capture Bedloe's Island,

Two things are about as well deter
mined as any future events can be,
namely, that Governor Hill will be re-
nominated by the Democrats, AMI that
ex-senator Warner Miller will be his
Republican competitor. Governor Hill
has, by his ready and early acceptance
of the result at st. Louis and his two
really clever speeches in New York
City in behalf of the ticket, made his
nomination almost certain. The OPP
position to him that was so strong a
month or two ago seems to have died
out. Tie harmony among the New
York Republicans which was estab-
lished at Chicago, and the nomination
of Levi p. Morton for Vice President
have made the way clear for Mr.. Mill
er's return to public life. He is al
ready saluted by his friends as Gov
ernor," and has indeed begun his can

CINCINNATI BANK IN TROUBLE.
The Metropolitan Directors In Session-The Vice

President Resigns Bank Suspends.
CINCINNATI, February 6.-The Metro
politan Bank directors held a session this
morning at 10 o'clock. Pending the
meeting the payment of checks was sus-
pended and long line of depositors
gathered, reaching from the payers desk
to the street. In a very few minutes,
however, the payment of checks began,
and at this writing, lilo, the line is
much decreased. The directors are still
in session and what is transacted is not
known, except that Vice-President De
camps resignation has been accepted
and Louis Krohn has been chosen in his
place. Bank Examiner Sanders is at the
bank, but says he is too busy to say any
thing for the benefit of the public.
There was more than the usual de-
mand upon the Metropolitan Bank all
day, but at the clearing house it was
only $4,000 behind. While bankers
agree that the Metropolitan Bank is sol
vent, they recognized the fact that it
could not meet every possible demand in
day, so eight of the banks loaned it
$25, 900 each. Other offers were denied
The objection made to DeCamp, the re
firing vice-president, was that he had
been speculating too much in real estate.

Dansi
New Orleans Times-Democrat.


New Orleans Times-Democrat
There is noted gourmet in this city
Col. Ned Gobob by name, who can dis
count the most celebrated club and res
taurant caterers in the gastronomic art.
Once, at little private dinner party.
the Colonel had roasted turkey as the
piece de resistance. The turkey was
drowned in vinegar two days before the
suspicious occasion in which he was to
appear so prominently. For twenty
four hours previous TO the meal he was
frozen up in block of Louisiana ice.
Then he was taken out and becominClv
dressed. First half dozen grassets
We're procured and stuffed each with
truffies; then each grasset was stuffed
into an eviscerated papabotte and the six
papat were stuffed into the single
turkey. The guests said it was all very
fine, despite the fact that the dish and
its ingredients raised about as much
commotion, wherever it went, as it oc-
ours about once every month in those
little principalities confined in European
Turkey.
The latest wrinkle of Coils. n. and Dam
iel is to have fat poSsum baked in "ole
Nirginny" style. The possum is now on
hand, having been shipped by express
TO one of our Canal street clubs at cost
of two dollars and half.
Col. Daniel insists that ON strictly
epicurean regimen that possum shall be
fed on an apple diet for at least sixty
days before the sacrifice. He prescribes
two dozen apples per diem. If the chol-
era does not strike the country in the
meantime, and the solemn looking mar
supalian does not explode by undue ex-
pansion, he will get away with ], 40 ap-
pies inside of his time limit. One thou
sand four hundred and forty apples, at
one cent each, will be S14 40.
The next trimming for this delicate
dish will be peck of Jeems River sweet
potatoes, specially imported from Vir-
ginia, at a cost of price and freight,
$1.50.
The possum is to be singed in hot
ashes to get the hair off, parboiled,
smothered in the potatoes, and baked
under the supervision of the two director
generals of the enterprise and corps of
competent assistants.
Next, the necessary fluid to float him
successfully on his short voyage down
the alimentary canal will cost at
least ten dollars.

At the conclusion of his remarks,
Crisp moved the previous question upon
the resolutions submitted by tie majori-
ty of the committee.

Mr.. Rowell, of Illinois, moved as a
substitute the resolution presented by
the minority declaring the sitting MEM
Der (White) entitled to the seat.
The substitute was agreed to-yeas,
