A WOMAN'S DISCOVERY.

O'Another wonderful discovery has been
made, and that too by lady in this
country. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her, and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital Or
gans were undermined and death seemed
imminent. For three months she cOughed
necessarily and could not sleep; she bot
of us bottle of DR.. Kings New DiScOv-
cry for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking first dose that she slept
all night, and with one bottle has been
miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus writes W. c. Ham
rick & Co., of Shelby, n. c. Get free
trial bottle at PattersOns' drug store. 2

THE able Gazette has borrowed the idea
from some one that influence is dan
gerous weapon in the hands of a villain"
Agreed; as witness its baneful effects in
st. Clairsville, where creature-a mix
ture Of Uriah Heep and Pecksniff-who
never had noble impulse in his life, and
with whom falsehOod is second nature,
has been able to impose himself upon
decent society, and to break into offices
that he betrays and abuses, without any
provocation leaps from the gutter to
assail and blackguard men who have
tried to lead decent lives, and who want
to be at peace with their neighbors.

POSTMASTER GENERAL WANAMAKER
says that offensive partisanship, as the
term was interpreted by the late admin
istration, will not alone be sufficient
grounds for removing postmasters of
the Presidential class" Postmasters,
he said, would be allowed to retain their
places until the expiration of their COM
missions if they were efficient and at
tended to their business. The fact that
postmaster was Democrat, and ex-
pressed his opinions as such, would not
be considered grounds for removal.
"But," says Mr.. Wanamaker, "if post
masters go about the streets uttering
ultra political sentiments" or take an
active part in caucuses or conventions
''they will be turned out"

THE cranks are getting in their work

A GOOD deal of wool has been pass
ing through American custom houses
during the recent Democratic admins
tration, as broken or waste wool, at a
duty of ten cents per pound, greatly to
the loss of wool growers and the profit
of the importers. But now Secretary
Window spoils the little game by decid-
ing that such wool is dutiable at the
rate of sixty cents pound. 1t will be
recollected that this was one of the
wrongs that the Belmont County Wool
Growers Association asked to have
righted.

PENSION COMMISSIONER.

n. Y. Press.
A soldier who left both legs on the
field of battle in the service of his coun-
try, who has handled over $50,000,000 in
positions of trust, with an integrity as
stainless when he went out of Office as
when he entered it, and who has ever
been known as the active and tireless
friend of the Grand Army and other
veterans the country over, has been ap-
pointed by President Harrison as Com
missioner of Pensions. He is Corporal
James Tanner of Brooklyn. The soldiers
widows and orphans have cause to be
proud that he has been honored, and the
public of New York and Brooklyn, re-
gardless of party, whom he has served
so well in times past, feel safe in prom
ising the country that he will continue
to give an equivalent in honest and
energetic service for whatever distinc-
ton his new promotion may confer on
him.
Corporal Tanners appointment is as
excellent in party sense as in a purely
private way, or as recognition of the
soldier element. In spite of his wounds
in battle, no man has been more active
in the service of the party, or has real
lied for it better results when the votes
were counted. Men who have the head,
the heart and the backbone to combine
party usefulness with scrupulous fidelity
to public trusts are ideal men for public
Office, and of such is Corporal Tanner.
