THEIR BUSINESS BOOMING.

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at PattersOns'
drug store as their giving away to their
customers of so many free trial bottles of
Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton. Their trade is simple enormous in
this very valuable article, from the fact
that it always cures and never disap-
points. Coughs, colds, asthma, brcn-
chitis, Group, and all throat and lung dis
ease quickly cured. You can test it be-
fore buying by getting trial bottle free,
large size 81. Every bottle warranted. 3

Poison the fountain, and the stream is

carried through the entire system-those
innumerable veins and arteries carry dis
ease and death instead of life and vitality.
As a result, you have headache, scrOfula,
dyspepsia. kidney disease, liver complaint,

Why, they call it a perfectly natural, le-

ovid THE BYES" TO THE LAST.

"WID THE DYES" TO THE LAST.
St Louis Globe Democrat.
Congressman O'Nel said there was a
well-to-do Irishman up on O'Fallon
street, near Biddle market, in st. Louis.
who found himself about to pass away.
His name was Maloney. He sent for
his Old friend, O'Connor, to come and
make his will. Everything was in read
mess, and the dying man said
s.Put down $500 in masses up at st.
Laurence O'TooIe's for the repoSe of my
soul"
The pen scratched away and then Mr..
O'Connor said:
..What mkt. Mr. Maloney?"
''Put down $500 for the Little Sisters
of the Poor. Have We that down, Mr..
O'ConGOr:'
~ have, Mr.. Maloney. What nixt?"
Put down $3.50 for The st. Louis or
phan asylum"
What mkt, MI MalOnCy?"
Put down $1,00G for me brother Pat.
He don't made it, but it's all the same.
| can't carry it wild me-"
So the work went on sOlemnly and
slowly, the dying man bringing himself
up with an effort to the task, and Mr..
O'Connor stopping now and then to draw
his finger across his nose and sniff sympa-
thetically. Finally the man said faint
ly, Il think that's all l have to will
O'Connor footed up the items, looked
at the balance in the little old bank
book and said, "NO, Mr.. Maloney, there S
tin dollars yet.''
The diving man lay absorbed in thought
for few moments, and then said:-
"O'CGnnor, put down that tin dollars
to spend wild the bves al me funeral"
Mr.. O'Conlor began 10 write; then he
stopped, and looked toward the bed
with puzzled expression, and asked
softly:
"Mr. Maloney, shall put it down to
spind goin' to the funeral or comm
back?"
The dying man lay very quiet for a
few moments, as he studied the prob
lem, and then with an effort replied:
"O'Connor, put down tin dollars to

"MR. BLAINE" says the Burlington
Free Press, ''has been the object of not
little abuse in his day; but nothing
more insulting was ever said about him,
than the allegation that he is only play
ing a part in his letter of withdrawal;
that it is not withdrawal but trick.
That his enemies should charge him
with this was to be expected: but how
any man who pretends to be his friend
can attribute to him such an unmanly
course, we do not see."

THE coincidence, in point of time, be-
tween that tornado in Illinois, Sunday,
and the appearance of group of spots
on the sun, has many striking precedentS,
although the testimony bearing upon
the question of connection between the
two sets of phenomena is somewhat con-
flicting 1t is certainly the case that
storms of the type to which Mt. Yer
mons destroyer belongs were less nu-
merous during the last sunspot mini
mum period (Say from 1875 to 1879
than at the maximum (lSS2-4); and last
wears statistics showed a marked fall
ing off again, which corresponds roughly
with the present diminution in SunSpot
frequency-a tendency that may posi-
bly, continue for two or three years
more. Moreover, Taccbrini gives Feb
ruary, 1884, as the eliminating point of
the last Sunspot maximum; and on Cne
day of that month, in the United States,
there were forty-four tornadoeS the
biggest record of the kind for twelve
years, possibly longer. On the other
hand, Wolf s sunspot number for May,
1888, GOD was the lowest for two years;
and vet tOradnoes and thunderstorms
were apparently little more numerous
than in April, 1892, for which Wolf S
number is 81; this latter month coming
next to February, 1884, in the abundance
of solar disturbances observed. There
are a number of such seeming inconsist-
encies which stand in the way of accept
ing the notion that sunspots and violent
terrestrial storms are related: but il is
possible that further investigations may
explain them away. /. Tribune.

ANYTHING done, wool would not now be
selling ut b cents for Ohio fleece, or
iron at so 80 per ton, or rails at Sjl 80.
The steel rails imported last year aver
aged $21 20 per ton in cost in foreign
ports, which with $l7 duty would make
them worth $3S 20 without any freight,
insurance or profits. Yet 1888 tons
were imported, because of vast num-
Der of points rails can be delivered at
less cost than American rails which have
to be transported thither by rail Taking
Sc off the duty would only multiply
MANY times the points at which the for
eign could exclude the home products
from the market. How much that would
depress the price it is not easy to say,
but it is obvious that the men who are
buying do not believe Mr.. Mills will get
anything done.
What is the trouble in bushes, then?
Simply this, that there are great many
other people who do believe that Mr.
Mills, Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Cleveland
can get bill passed. In that belief
they defer purchases. In consequence
mills, mines, factories and workshops,
lack orders and have TO stop. The re-
suit is depression, losses of millions ev-
erv month to labOrers and to employers,
and ultimate loss also the people who
will have to buy when the market is
crowded with orders. That has been
the experience year after year, ever since
the free-trade Democrats gained power.

enough to cost the country many mil
lions, and then have gone home dis

Railroad Foreclosures During 1882,
Ea Washington Post: Turning from the
story of railroad building IN 1887, let us
look at another kind of railroad figures
those which show the wfecking Of
fortunes and hopes. 1t appears that
during the year 81 roads, with an aggre-
gate mileage of 5,47S miles and q eapi-
talization, including stock and funded
debt, of 1925. 8 1000, were sold under
foreclosure. 1t is stated as a reasonable
presumption that this process of forced
reorg ,nization resulted in wiping out at
least the capital stock of the foreclosed
road, amounting to $l63.65 900. Dis.
couraging as those figures really are,
they are not so bad as they look. There
was no actual dimin ution of property.
The roads and all their appurtenances,
with all their capacity for usefulness,
still exist, but the original stockholders
do not own them. It is to be borne in
mind also that these foreclosures we're
not the result Of last years or any one
years operations. They were chronic
cases, finally subjected to heroic treat
ment. Going back another year, 1886,
we find still more formidable figures.
Daring that year 45 roads. with = 6S7
mics OF rack aud capitalized at 1914,
100 900, were sold at foreclosure, For
1885 the record is but little better. In
short, the last three years have seer q

and the good results OF the work are

the various propositions to change the
land laws, has completed his labors, and
will report to the full committee next
Thursday. Resulting from its delibera-
tions is o bill in lien OF all others on the
subject. Chief of the provisions are:
All public lands to be classified as
agricultural, timber. mineral, desert or
reeessea Nc timber isn1 80 Ds Sold, but
the timber growing upon it may be dis
posed OF to the the highest bidder. after
advertisement. in forty acre tracts, the
timber to be removed within six years
from the date OF sale. Mineral entries
may be made OF the same land, even
after the sale of the timber, but cannot
impair the right of the purchaser OF the
timber. Timber lands shall not be ap-
praised at less than $40 per acre. The
president may set apart any fruit lands
as public reservations. The desert land
law is continued in effect, but an amend
ment requiring entrymen to file maps
exhibiting the mode of contemplated
irrigation and the of the water
supply. All laws allowing pre- emption
of public lands, and all others in conflict
with the provisions of the present bill
are repealed, but all bona fde claims
initiated before its passage may be per-
footed. All laws relating to land scrip
remain in force. The homestead law is
amended 30 as to allow heads of families
and citizens of legal age, or persons who
have filed declarations of intention tc
become such, to enter q quarter section
or less Of public land, but no person
who is proprietor Of 160 aoges OF land, OIL
who quits or abandone. his residence on
his own land to reside on public lands
in the same state or territory. shall &C.
quire say right under the homestead
laws.

New York Press (Rep.): The admin
istration demands free wool. In the
face Of the demand the waoi-growers of
the country assemble under the shadow
of the white house, and demand that the
wool duty shall be put back to the rate
before the reduction OF 1883. The admin.
istration demands free ships.
A convention is now assembled In
Washington as thoroughly representa-.
tive American ss could possibly come
together, and the convention demands
that American shipping must and shall
be restored. The administration de-
mands that the duty on wooden goods
be reduced SO that more foreign goods
may be admitted and more American
labor displaced. An association repre-
senting nIne-tenths of the wooden mills
OF the country met OF Washington last
week and demanded the correction of
the worsted cloth claus in the tariff,
that We may save the American worsted
Industry and give employment to 20,
600 operatives now out of work. The
administration is sqnarely opposed to
the commercial interests of the country
because 1t says, through the secretary
OF the treasury, we want free ships. 1t
is squarely opposed to the agricultural
interests of the country because it
says, through the president, that
we want free wool and a continuation
OF the internal tax on tobacco and corn
which the farmer raises in his field. The
administration is sqaarely opposed to the
industrisls interest of the country be-
cause 1t refuses to advocate the oorrec-
tion OF an inquality of the tariff, though
the secretary of the treasury admits that
an important industry is likely to be
extiugnished it the error continues. 1t

ests of the country because, through the
president, 1T advocates lower duties
on foreign goods and lower
wage for American labor. The
administration is a demoorgtic admins

ever, ct o time when the people are more

that the teachery and incompetency Of

with the people who were influenced BY
the pledges which he made during the

gratuituous that even this most loyal
