The question of steam heat in passen-

The question of steam heat in passen- ger cars is bothering railroad men. The railroad commissioners have been watch ing very carefully all experiments through the country and are not yet convinced that steam heat derived from the locomotive is feasible source of supply. The Now London Northern passenger cars are heat ed by steam, and the system by which it is done will be discussed. Other railroads in this state have to some extent experiment. ed with steam heat from the engine The Hartford Post says it is not secret that the Consolidated road prefers it's improved Baker heater with which most, if not all, its cars have been fitted, although it has experimented with the Henney system. The New England road is not prominently doing anything with the problem. Various smaller roads have had various systems under trial. The Stonington road has had at least four kinds of apparatus.

WELLINGTON,

There are at least two sons of the revolution in town. Lucien Holt's fath- CT, Sergt. Nehemiah Holt, was in the revolutionary war six years, enlisting from s'Canada Society,"" then in the town of Windham, at IF years of age. Sergt. Holt picked up a cannon ball on the battle field of Yorktown and brought it home with him. It is now an interesting heir loom in the family. Judge Holt wildly recalls many "reminiscences of the war related by his father. The father of Rufus Robbins, Ebenezer, was also in the war, enlisting in the same company with Sergt. Holt. Mrs. c. T. Preston's great grandfather, Lemuel Preston, was with Washington continuous ly during the war, crossing the Delaware with him, at Braddock's defeat, etc.

 New York Herald: If there are any protectionists, like the late MT. Barnum, so welded to the democratic party that they will not leave it even on that issue. that cannot be helped. But it ought to be understood at once that they must henceforth walk at the tail of the demo- cratic procession and not at its head. They cannot be trusted in any position of control, management or influence in it.. They ought to understand that if demo- cratic president is elected in 1892 they will not be allowed to have office or infiu- ence under his administration. The next democratic president will not pursue MT. Cleveland's course in this matter. MT. Cleveland himself, if he had his term of office to do over again, would not do as he did. The Herald speaks plainly on this matter because we know that what we have said expresses the judgement and the determination of a good many demo- cratic leaders who will not go into another canvass hobbled and hamstrung by pro- tectionist managers. Honesty is the best policy.

The most disastrous fire that has ever occurred in Columbia took place about l o'clock Wednesday morning last week, when the store of George B. Fuller was burned, also his residence near by, and also the house occupied by Mrs. Emiline Strickland. It was only by the most strenuous exertions that the house of War ren A. Collins was saved, also MT. Fuller's barn. The fire was clearly of incendiary origin and was set in the rear of the store outside, under pair of stairs leading to the masonic hall. The household furni- ture was largely saved from both houses, and MT. Fuller saved part of his stock of goods. Loss from g., ,OOO to $4, ,OO0 In- sured.

Plain History.

Swift's Specific is a simple vegetable con- pound, prepared from roots gathered freshly from the forest, and contains nothing of the mineral kingdom, or any poisonous substance, or any article at all which comes from the chemists laboratory.
 The formula for the remedy was obtained from the Creek Indians in Middle Georgia, by reliable white men, who had witnessed the wonderful cures made by that tribe of h. dians, of blood diseases. MT. Hugh L. Den nard, of Houston county, Ga., began using Swift's Specific in 1929, and continued its use all of his life, and asserted that he had never known it to fail to cure any case of scrofula, blood taint, or contagious blood poison. This testimony has been corroborat- ed every day for years. The present com- pany was formed in 1879, and have since made known to the world the virtues of Swift's Specific, and to-day it is sold in every city, town and country store all over America, Great Britain, and many other portions of the world
 have seen Swifts Specific used, and known of many cases of the worst form of blood dis eases which have been cured by it. I know the proprietors to be gentlemen of the high est type and utmost reliability. recommend it as a great blood remedy, unequalled by anything that I know of. M. B. WHARTON,

THE AGRICULTURAL BUREAU



New York Commercial Advertiser.
There we're only four executive de-
partmentS at the beginning of the gov
eminent. and the heads Of them were
called respectively the secretary OF
state. the secretary OF the treasury, the
secretary ef war and the attorney
general. Under the presidential sue
eession act of 1886 the office of cabinet
minister has become more important
in an official sense than il was before.
La case OF the death or disability of
both president and vice-president, the
secretary Of state takes the executive
afsice. and Ia case OF his death the Sec
rotary OF the treasury, and so on down
through the members of the cabinet.
But the new secretary OF agriculture
has a lower position relatively than
any OF his colleagues, for he is not in
the line OF presidential succession.
Congress evidently overlooked this
fact when it passed the law making
the agricultural department an execu-
tive department. for the succession
act of 1856 specifically named the
heads of the then existing DEPART
ments as liable, III turn, to have the
responsibilities OF president thrust
upon them, but made no provision for
the other heads of executive DEPART
ments still 10 be created. So il some
unforeseen fate should take away the
president, the yice-president and such
members of his cabinet as are not
disqualified by the constitution from
holding the executive Office. the Uni
ted States would be without presi-
dent. for Commissioner Colman would
have no more right to act than Speaker
Carlisle or the doorkeeper of the sem
ate. If other executive departments
are to be created congress ought to
make provisions for this contingency,
however remote it may seem.
