ALLEN G.. THURMAN's letter OF
acceptance of the Democratic nomi-
nation for the Vice-Presidency is
simple and in every way characteris-
tic. The New York Star says:
It is in line with his admirable
addresses at Port Huron and at
Newark, and rests the case of the
Democratic party on the merits of
Cleveland Administration and the
advantages the people are certain to
reap from the enforcement OF Demo.
cratic policy.
To his former terse and telling ex-
pressions regarding taxation, which
have taken so strong hold in the
popular mind, Judge Thurman now
adds several, obviously suggested by
the Senatorial Tariff bill. which
'indelibly brand that Infamous meas
ure Of extortion and oppression.
This mastery and masterful letter,
which displays the highest faculty of
craftsmanship in condensing discus
sion into msxims, and bringing new
questions to the sest of comparison
with long-cheerished principles. fifty
closes the Democratic presentation
of the case on which the people will
render an overwhelming verdict in
favor of Cleveland and Thurman.

IT WILL be observed from an
article taken from q New York letter
to the Milwaukee Sentinel which
appears on our first page that Mr..
H. K. Thurber, Of the firm of Thur
Der, Whyland & Co., New York,
has declared against Grover Cleve-
land on the ground that he, Cleve-
land, has "Sold himself to the
South"
If this is true, and it cannot be
reasonably questioned, that firm has
forfeited all claim upon the Southern
trade which It has heretofore
largely shared to the increasing of
its large wealth which seems to have
fed their hatred to our people rather
than subdue their passion and make
them, as naturally they ought to be,
friendly to our Southern interests
Any man, whose prejudice to
Grover Cleveland is based upon his
patriotic fairness to the Southern
people, is himself unworthy of South
ern confidence and therefore unwor-
thy their trade, their respect or their
To be an enemy to South
ern interests is to be unfriendly to
the entire government and for a
citizen to put himself upon the
record of variance is simply to color
his life with the damning tinge of
traitorious hue.
No trade for traitors.

Severe pains in the bowels and
stomach are often speedily relieved
by the application of bag of salt. A
weak solution of salt and water is re,
commended by good physicians as a
remedy for imperfect digestion, and
for cold in the head it is complete

the hand. We have known severe
chrome cases of catarrh entirely
cured by persistent use of this SIMPLE
remedy every night and morning tor
several months, when the hest efforts
of the best physicians failed to do
any good. 1t should be used milk

broiling steak, throw little salt on

tie in starch, boiled or raw will pre-
vent the irons from sticking. If the
irons are rough, put little salt on
thick piece of brown paper, lay
piece of thin muslin over it and rub
the iron over it till perfectly smooth.
Ink-stains are entirely removed by
the immediate application of dry salt

new calicoes are allowed to lie in

since from the publishers of the
Housekeeper, of Minneapolis, Mimi,
stating that the award of $500 for
the largest onion raised In the Unit
ed States had been awarded to hsr.
The onion weighed three pounds
seven and three-fourths ounces, and
is good advertisement of the grow
ing qualities of Colorado soil. Tho

that Colorado will again head the

We hear of number of friends
who formerly lived here as being
mentioned for Federal positions in

judgement, excludes any and all who

we have many friends whom we

still citizens, we know of but one
place to draw the line and that is,
are they citizens now, otherwise there
would be no stopping place. Return

Aooiclents or October.

A record of railroad accidents has
been kept for number of years by
The Railroad Gazette, I" and NAL king
up the roll for October last that pa
per finds the number of persons kill
ed, l20, to be the largest for any
month except August, 1887, which
includes the Chatsworth disaster. No
other monthly record reaches loo
deaths. Of those killed 5s per cent.
we're passengers, 81 per cent. were
employees, and per cent. are classed
as "others.' Considering that the
number of employees is only small
proportion of the number Of passen-
gers, it is clear that the sacrifice of
life and limb is relatively much
greater among employees than among
passengers. This ia even more ap.
parent in the showing of persons
merely injured by accidents. These
numbered 223, OF whom 100, or 81
per cent, were employees, and 90, or
only a. per cent, were passengers.
The explanation Of this is to be found
ia the fact that three-fourths of the
accidents of the month affected
freight trains and only one-fourtb
passenger trains.
The total aumber of accidents dur.
iug the month was I4e. of which
eighty.tvo were collisions, fifty
eight derailmeuts, and six Others
miscellaneous. The record Of Octo-
bcr, 1857, by contrast, while it shows
III accidents Of all kinds, gave only
thirty-four persons in all killed, and
only Ioe injured. Although the pas
sengers suffered less by comparison
than the employees, there were at least
eight important accidents TO trains
well iiled with passengers. Six of
those had fatal results. That at Mud
Ran was the most notsble The
Gazette complains that in all the
eases where verdIots were rendered
by coroners' iuries, they do not seem
TO look into the question of the pos
sible negligence Of officers of the
roads. Train men and minor en-
ployes are held responsible for DISC
bedienee Of a rule, without consider
ing whether the authority making it
mi1ht not have so arranged matters
that obedience would be less difficult
and more certain. The point is Ger
tainly well taken. 1t is very easy--
and juries like to do things easily
to find the cause of an accident in
the circumstances Immediately at
tending it, when the fact is that the
true caGse may lie some distance back
IN chain of events which attract no
attention.--NewY York Tribune.

The most important work the ap-
preaching Legislature will have to
engage in is that on railway legisla-
ton.
The public is beginning to appre-
ciate that there is no solution of the
transportation problem apart from
Legislation. It is well enough to
consider that railways are private
property. and that their owners have
certain rights which the publIc is
bound to respect. But it should at
the same time not he forgotten that
they are also public highways, and
that they enjoy certain franchises in
consideration of their agreement to
perform certain public duties.
The state has right to inquire in
to the manner of their discharge OF
these duties and to compel them to
discharge them properly.-Denver

Camphor is made in Japan in this
way: After a tree is felled to the
earth 1t is cut into chips, which are
laid in tub or large iron pot partial
ly filed with water, and placed over
4 slow FIRE. Through holes in the
bottom OF the tub steam slowly rises
and beating the chips. generates oil
and camphor. OF course, the tub
with the chips had a cosely fitting
cover. From this cover bamboo
pipe leads to succession of other
tuos with bamboo connections, and
the last of these tubs is divided into
two compartments, one above the
other, the dividing floor being per-
forsted with small holes to allow the
water and oil to pass to the lower
compartment. The upper compart-
ment Is supplied with straw layer,
which catches and holds the camphor
in crystal in deposit as it passes to
The cooling process. The camphor
is then separated from the straw
packed IN wooden tubs and is ready
for market. The oil is used by the
natives for Illuminating and other
purposes.-Ex.

In the eastern states, that is, all
that vast region beyond the Mississ-
ippi river, the consumers of anth-a-
cite coal depend upon the Pennsylva-
MIA mines for their supply. Little of
1t flnds western market except that
portion which is brought up the lakes
by grain vessels, which accept coal
as a return cargo from Buffalo, Erie,
and other points. As consequence
the trade is restricted and soft, or
bituminous coal is the rule.
The river CITIES and towns from
Pittsburgh to New Orleans, RELY on
the soft coal from western Pennsyl.
vania and West Virginia, and anthra-
cite is comparatively unknown to
them.
Western Colorado, or that portion
rather, just west of the range, has
sufficient anthracite and of an unsur.
PASSED quality, to supply the country
west of the Missouri with all they
will take. The product of the mines
now opened finds ready market, but
the veins lying there still undevel-
eped are as large and as easily &C.
eesible as those already opened.
These veins are all on the Gunnison
river slope, the locality is well known
and they must become more promi-
nent in their shipments. There Is q
vast trade here comparatively unde-
veloped, and an immense tonnage
awaiting the railroads that will fur.
nish them business for many years
to come.-Denver Times.
