Cure Your catarrh. or Get $500.

For many years, the proprIetors of
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, who are
thoroughly responsible, financially, as
any one can easily ascertain by proper
enquiry, have offered, in good faith,
through nearly every newspaper IN the
land, standing reward of $500 for case
of nasal catarrh, no matter how bad, or
of how long standing, which they can
not cure. The remedy, which is sold by
druggists at only so cents, is mild, sooth-
ing, cleansing, antiseptic and healing.

A Literary Sensation.

America for April 11th. publishes
some new and exceedingly inter
esting facts relative to project
for the establishment of a literary
magazine in the West, by Edgar
Allen Poe, which was only brought
to naught by his death. The facts
have been unearthed by Mr.. Eu-
gene Field, and their authenticity
is proved by letters from Poe and
by the title page of the magazine
he proposed to found. (The latter
is published in fac-smile.) Its name
was to be called "The Stylus: A
Monthly Journal of Literature
Proper, the Fine Arts, and the
Drama" What is most singular
about this tardy disclosure is that
a small town in Illinois, named
Oquawka, was talked about as the
place of publication of journal
which was the dream of Poe's life.

The Ohio Senate and the People.

The late Republican Senate,
which, "praised be God," came to a
natural death on last Monday, dur
ing it's session gave evidence Of one
of two conditions.
Either the Senators in following
the proclivities which dominate
the Republican party voluntarial-
ly arrayed themselves against the
people, or they were bought up in
the interest of monopolies which
are opposed to the interest of the
Masses.
One or two instances will serve
to show the matter in stronger
light. For several years there has
been conviction, amounting to a
clear knowledge, that the patrons
of our public schools are being de-
liberately robbed by the School
Book ring, and efforts have been
made, from time to time, to relieve
the people from Its grasp, but with
out avail.
During the present session
measure for such relief was brought
forward by Mr.. Monnott, q demo-
crat, who made the fight against
the Ring so hot, and their extor-
tions so clear that the House in

THERE seems little question
that Oklahoma, the new territory,
opened to settlement by proclama-
tion of the President, is to be the
seat of fierce contention, and in
Vulnerable cases of bloodshed and
disaster are likely to commence
Monday, April %, and to continue
for many months thereafter, unless
the general government takes eff
ficient steps for preserving the
peace. The territory is to be open
ed at noon, April %, and it is said
there are already encamped there,
more people than could be accom-
modated if every quarter section
of land within its limits was oc-
cupied, while railway lines are pre-
pairing to run excursion trains, and
thus largely increase the number
of people struggling for portion
of this promised land. More than
this, many of the men now in camp
have been lowering around the
territory for years. Some have
even staked off claims from which
they were driven by United States
soldiers, and they now openly
threaten that they will have their
old claims or there will be bloody
trouble. Under the circumstances,
people who desire to continue in
the enjoyment of good health and
life would do well not to join the
Oklahoma rush at this late day;
yet if there are any who wish to en-
gage in grand scramble for a
quarter section of the earth, with
chickering's and bloodshed thrown
in, Oklahoma is upquestionably
the place where it may be found.
The show will open at noon, April
%, but no one can predict the per-
iod of it's ending.-Columbus Post.

promptly In the Senate during the
past week, and Mr.. Townsend the
Senator from this district aided by
voice and vote in their defeat.
Tt is possible that both these bills
of such vital interest to the people
of the State were passed by the
House with the full knowledge
that they would be defeated by the
Senate, but 1t is just as reasonable
to suppose that we see another in
stance of the corrupting influence
of money upon the less numerous
branch of the Legislative body. If
the people would protect them
selves against these despoilers they
must see to it that no man, Demo-
crat or Republican, having any
thing in common with any Book,
Ring or other such institutions OBJ
tains seat in either branch of the
body, and is also a man above the
suspicion of bribery.

The MOnnOt POOrman School Book
Bill.


The Monnot Poorman Bill, as it
is popularity known, was one which
commended itself to every head of
family in the State.
1t was measure designed toput
an end to the eXtortions Of the
School book ring, at the head
of which, in this state, stands
the firm of Van AntMerp Bragg
& Co., of Cincinnati, who are
growing immensely rich on the
extortionate price of text books
used in public schools of the State.
The Monnot Poorman Bill had
it become law would have reduc-
ed the cost of school books nearly
one half to the patrons of our pub
lie schools and would thus have
lifted a grievous burden from the
sholders of our honest toilers. The
bill passed the House but was in
definitely postponed in the Senate,
and bill said to be in the interest
of the ring was passed, receiving
about the solid Republican vote.
There are suspicious and malicious
persons who will say that this
action of the Ohio Senate was pro-
cured by a cash consideration from
the interested school book ring.
We are not going to assert that
all Democrats are bribe proof, but
with the natural bias Of the aver
age Republican in favor of Monopo-
lists and Trusts it is easy to array
them against the interests of the
people.

The Wages Question.

"Protection raises wagesW II
seems to have done SO in the cases
of few prominent Republicans
who have been appointed to fat
positions as result of the Protec-
tive victory in November: but how
is it with the factory operatives
and laboringmen generally? Since
election workingmen in nearly
every branch ofindustry have been
forced to accept less pay, and in
some cases the cut has been so deep
that the recipients are getting no
wages at all, having lost their job
entirely. But perhaps the able
Republican scribes are the "real
workingmen," after all, and when
they wrote about Protection in
creasing wages they had in view
their own peculiar fitness for some
of the places that Protection
victory would open up to them. 1t
looks that way, for it is mighty
hard thing to see any one in this
neck of woods who has experienced
an increase of wages except Pur-
sell, and there are honorable men,
even in the Republican party, who
think the wrong fellow has obtain
ed the increase. Oh yes! "Protec-
ton raises wages"
