ScrOfuIa HumOr
"My pauehter's Life was Saved.


SIN regard to my little daughter, whose life was
saved, as we believe, by Hoods Sarsaparlla,
would say that before she was six months old
scrofula sores began to appear on different parts
of her body, and in short time she had seven
running sores. Two physicians were called but
they gave US no hope. One of them advised the
amputation of one OF her fingers. TO which we re-
fused assent. Our attention was called to Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and we began giving it to her. A
marked Improvement was noticed after she had
taken only one bottle, and by a continued use of
it her recovery was complete. And she is now,
being seven years old strong and healthy The
other members of my family have been generally
benefited by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and I recon-
mend it as an excellent blood purifier" b. C.

SCHOOL BOOKS.
The New and the Old Compared-Soms
Grammars of Long Ago.


Grammars of Long Ago.
To THE EDIToR-lSir: 1t is for the press
that we look nowadays to right all our
wrongs. As Black, the novelist, says:
"The penny press of England to-day has
more power than parliament"
The book controversy here has been a
long and exhaustive one. But it is now
settling, l think The teachers who OPP
posed the introduction OF the new books
are finding that, on use, they are about as
good as the old, despite what may have
been said to the contrary. Indeed, some
of the teachers give the readers and pri-
mary geography as much merit, and the
arithmetic just little more than the old.
There is considerable criticism OF the COM
plete geography think, on account
of few minor errors which can be easily
corrected, than anything else. The finest
book ever written and printed contained
errors that both writer and printer cor
rected in a second edition.
In past wears | had considerable
experience as a teacher, and now have
scholar at home old enough
to take up this complete geography.
On what examination l have made / find
this book good enough Just as it is, for
scholars OF a certain age. But we certainly
need another of about the same size,
more perfect as to questions and what Is
called descriptive geography, to come be-
tween the primary. as we have it now, and
the complete, for children, say OF between
eleven and fourteen. This complete geog-
raphy is too much of the nature of phys
4 i 81 Co. ,l,s
dren just passing out OF the primary.
We have no Indiana grammar as yet. Now,
why. when we get one, should it not be of
a more simple character than those we
have had in past years? What is the use
of having text book so exhaustive as to
be always learning, and never learned?
And that is what is the matter
with the grammars. During the
short time that so manv of our girls
and boys have to attend school nothing
should be put before them but what
will be of practical use In their work, as
they 20 out into the world. A lot of fine
technical terms should not be drilled into
their heads to the loss OF time, perhaps,
that should be spent otherwise-that will
be forgotten almost as soon as learned.
believe in simplifying the grammar
greatly. Why divide and sub-divlde and
re-subdivide adjective, conjunction and
other parts of speech until the scholar
gets thoroughly at sea on the genealogical
tree of parts and cannot finally tell root
from branch or leaf?
Some of the finest grammarians ever
knew belong to the generation just one
decade back OF me and now passing away.
Their source of knowledge in that line
was Clarke, Green and White, and many
others of that kind-counted now as moth
ing. Pinneo was just passing out as
came on the stage. Dear old Pinneo, in
complete as they now say you were, how
/ longed for you in later years when try
ing to make distracted scholar under
stand something you never even limited
was worthy of knowing.
But old ways and old styles OF teaching
are also passing away And in some of
the new we are not the gamers.

o. D., who is sucking your life's blood
while tanning your inactive brain into
state OF confident repose beneath the wing
of the goddess, protection?
Meanwhile, YOU can find no explanation
Tor the fact that your condition becomes
more discouraging every year. Your crops
barely fetch the cost of sowing and reap
ing; you find yourself unable to meet the
interest on your mortgage held by the
same individual who finds it convenient to
whisper in your ear that reduction OF
the tariff would make matters worse and
bring desolation on the land. Could it
make matters any worse for you? Awaken,
my old friend! Do thinking for your
self. Let me ask you a few questions,
which you may answer at your leisure.
In what respect are you benefited by pro-
lection? Is any product of your farm pro-
tected in any way, shape or form, excepting
OF course, thefeeCeClipped from score OF
the ''pet lambs" of the protectionists? Are
you aware that wool represents but per
cent. Of the farm products Of the country?
Is not the selling price of your entire grain
crop regulated by the price which the
surplus over the country's requirements
will bring in competition with the prod
ucts of the slaves of Russia, the pauper
labor OF Europe and the coolies OF India?
1t is an indisputable fact that the tariff
enables the home manufacturer TO hold
his product up to the cost OF the imported
article with the duty of 20 TO go per cent.
added. Why are you as a consumer
forced TO pay this tax of from 20 per cent.
to 90 per cent. on every article you or
your family use. from an iron spoon to an
Overcoat whether manufactured in this
country or imported. while your products,
except handful of wool, must be mar
keted in competition with the pauper
labor of Europe and Asia?
Would it not be to your interest to ad-
vocate reduction of the tariff in view of
the fact that you are paying the premium
which the manufacturer imposes under
the protection afforded him, while you
are receiving no protection whatever on
any commodity YOU have to sell, except
the much talked of wool?
Would it not be to your interest to do
all in your power to check the unneces-
sary and dangerous accumulation OF an
enormous amount of money in the
treasury which ought TO be in circulation
among the people, instead of being a
temptation to INSCRIPTIONS Legislators and
officials to become extravagant? Very
truly yours, EX-PRoTECTIoNIST.

A Farmer DenOunces the High Protective
Policy of the Republican Party.
To THE EDIToR-Sir: The small farmers
and labOring men of this section have
never seen harder times than during the
past summer, and the outlook continues
dark. Private enterprise has come to a
dead standstill and tramps are being
turned out by the thousands. Many of
the laboring men who yelled so Justify for
Harrison and high protection are terri
bly, disguised, and openly declare that
they will not vote the republican ticket
again. One of their strongest men said to
me the other day that che now believed
that this high tariff business was an in
fernal humbug and nothing in it for the
laboring man, and that he would vote for
absolute free trade first"
Although that / am fully aware that the
majority of the leaders of the democrat
party do not favor free trade, yet firmly
believe, and have for several years, that
the adoption OF absolute free trade is the
only true solution of this vexed question.
Then raise the revenue, to run the general
government, by an income tax on heavy
incomes. As it is, we say to the world,
"Why don't you come and buy our pro-
ducts, and givea good price forthem;" while
at the same time our doors are sealed to
what they have to SELL Americans
grumble because foreigners won't trade
with them. Adopt this only and just
measure and our trade with foreign
nations would become immense. Small
industries which have been dead for
years would spring up all over the conn
try. Then, prosperity would spread her

DELLA PARNELL IN WANT.
HER HOME is TO BE SOLD FOR TAXES
Aid to the Irish Cause, to Her Son, Bad
Investments and wholesale Generosity
Have Eaten Up Her Estate-Assist-
ance Must Come at Once.

BoRDENTowN, n. J., Nov. 16.-While
Charles Stewart Parnell is fighting Ire
lands enemies in England, his aged and
infirm mother is fighting starvation in
New jersey. The misiortunes that have
followed Mrs. Della Parneu for many
years have eliminated at last in this-that
she is alone, penniless and actually desti-
tute of the necessities of life. She now
has little more than roof to shelter her.
Unless something is done for her relief
she will not have that two weeks hence.
Mrs Parnell lives alone at Ironsides, the
estate OF her father, Commodore Stewart.
Since the death of her daughter, Fanny,
there have been very few visitors
at Ironsides. She has no close
acquaintance in Bordentown. Her
nearest friends are Mrs. S. +. Carslake and
her daughter Miss Anna Carslake, of 40
w. Safest, Trenton. Miss Carslake was
school mate and life long friend OF Fanny
Parnell. Mrs. Parnell's pride was so strong
that she would not let even these friends
know anything of her necessities although
she was face to face with want On Mon
day she wrote to Mrs. Carslake warmly
Mrs. Carslake and her daughter came over
on Tuesday. They were so amazed and
distressed by what they saw that they de-
termined to make the facts known and ap-
peal to the friends of the Irish cause for
assistance
This is what they found out OF all the
great estate which Mrs. Parnell in
herited from her father many years ago,
there is nothing left now but Iron
sides, which is farm of 800 acres here,
and some property on s. feminist, Phila-
deiphla. All the rest OF Mrs. Parnell's
personal means have been swallowed up
in unlucky investments and by injudicious
generosity Ironsides is incumbered with
a mortgage of $1,000. The Philadelphia
property is in litigation. The taxes on
Ironsides and the interest on the mortgage
are long overdue, and unless S563 is raised
within two weeks the aged woman will
lose even the roof over her head.
Mr.. Parnell, of course, knows nothing of
his mothers situation, She will not per-
NIT him to know it. She thinks he has
about all the cares he can stand now Her
friends believe that even if he did know it
he could do very little to help her. The
information they have of him is that the
enormous expense of the London Times
trial and the parliamentary work have left
Mr.. Parnell almost as poor as his mother.
They have reports OF the rigid economies
he is said to be practicing in consequence.
Dr. Mozart Jenkins of Trenton was
called to the residence of Mrs. Della Par
nell to-day for the purpose of treating that
lady. He told a reporter that he found
her verging on complete collapse. She is
suffering from congestion of the brain
and heart. When he called she was about
to dine on vegetables without either bread
or coffee. There is nothing upon which
to feed the live stock. Edwards Leaven,
the irish servant, had sold some wood
with which to buy food for over Sunday.

a Lady Rejo:oes in the Recent Democratic
Victory in Ohio.
To THE EDIToR-lSir: Here's my hand,
and a great big one, to THE SENTINEL with
the warmest congratulations in sending
greetings to our sister state Ohio. Our
grand mascot" has won victory worthy
of great praise, one that we are Justly
proud ola victory that could hardly be
expected from state that had given such
large majority for Foraker in the past.
But the democracy has been constantly
keeping the tariff reform" and plain
truth OF the democratic platform before
the people until they have become fully
convinced of their wrong. Ohio has
proven that the majority of republicans
are as much dissatisfied with the present
administration as the democrats are.
We have the laugh on the republicans
around here. They had been so full OF
confidence in their popular leader that
they thought nothing could defeat them.
They are now told that it will take more
than four acres to bury the camels
(Campbell) and whose brass band TO
play the good old tune. "The Campbells
are coming" from Ohio.
Don't forget to keep the victory before
the readers of THE SENTINEL until they
will all be up and doing until old Indiana
rolls up the largest majority that was ever
polled Mrs W. H. L.

TWO MODEL PRISONS.
Judge Jordan TALKS of the state Prisons
Cd Men ut School.

Cd Men ut School.
Judge Lewis Jordan has visited both of
the state prisons this month, and a SENTI-
MEL reporter asked him in regard to their
condition. He said:
Indiana may well be proud of the hui
name government and good management
of her two prisons. A prison is not a
cheerful place to visit, but it was pleasant
to see the kind treatment of the prisoners
and TO note that every nook and corner of
these large institutions was clean and in
perfect order. The southern prison has
been rejuvenated under the supervision OF
Warden Patten, and when the improve
ments now being made are completed
those who visited the prison a few years
ago would scarcely know the place. The
chapel has seating capacity for all the
prisoners, and is very bright and cheer
full room, 1t has been completed since
Warden Patten assumed control, and a
large choir has been organized, which
leads the singing TO the accompaniment of
the organ and stringed instruments, choir
and band being composed OF prisoners.
"The night school at the northern
prison impressed me very much. 1t is at
tended by forty-fve prisoners, all the room
will accommodate Some of the pupils are
sixty years old, but they are as eager to
learn their lessons as any ambitious school
boy. About one-third were colored, and
the teacher informed me that they made
as rapid progress as the whites-a fact
which is also true of the colored boys at
the reform school. This school from one
point of view was a sad sight, and from
another cheerful one. Here were old
men just learning to spell, read, write and
cipher like school-boys. Late in life
they were learning the lessons that should
have been learned in boyhood. But it
was a good sign and cheerful sight to see
their earnest efforts to atone for the neg
lect OF their early days.
II had not time to make a study of the
decorations in many of the cells. 1t is a
mistaken view to consider all men in
prison as very bad. The hearts of many
can be read in the cell decorations, and a
casual examination convinced me that
there is hope for a better life in the in
mates of those cells.
1.-THE prison congress which meets at
Nashville, Tenn, Saturday, will consider
questions relating to the proper manage
ment of prisoners, and the delegates from
Indiana can make good report OF both
our state prisons. Warden Murdoch is on
the program for paper on life-prisoners,
and THE SENTINEL should procure copy
and publish it."
