Where Republicanism Grows.

In 1884 the States of the North and
the border States of Delaware, Ken
lucky. Maryland, Missouri, Tennes-
see. Virginia and West Virginia gave
Blaine a plurality Of 3O2, 139 Of the
popular vote
On November 6 these same States
gave Harrison q plurality Of 377. AL,
q gain Of a. 3O2 votes In that section.
in which alone reasonably free vote
and fair count can be relied upon, and
q majority Of nearly 100000 over all
Besides this. during the past four
years the Republican party has suf-
fered a loss Of $4,000 votes in these
States by emigration to the Terrific
ries. where they are not yet counted,
but soon viii be.
The States Of the North and the
border States, with more Of the
former soon to be admitted in the
Northwest, contain the elements and
forces, political. commercial, indus
trial and moral, that are bound to rule
this country. It is gratifying, there
fore. to see in that section, If it must
SO be called, a marked growth of Re-
publican strength. -Cleveland Leader.

A PROTECTION VICTORY.
One of the Most Gratifying Phases o
American Politics.

One of the Most Gratifying Phases Of
American Politics.
The utter incapacity of the Demo-
cratic party to learn the lessons of ex-
perience and obey the will of the
people is well ill ustrated in the matter
of the surplus The Forty-eighth Con-
gress. which met in December, 1888,
had 7S Democratic majority in the
House. There was then a surplus in
the Treasury, and the question how to
prevent its further accumulation was
before that body. The Ways and
Means Committee, through its chair
man, William X. Morrison, reported
his famous horizontal reduction" bill.
The party lash was applied, but the
bill failed on May 6. 1884, by four
votes.
That put the question of revenue re-
duction before the country. The d.
vision was on the method, not as to
the propriety and necessity of the re-
duction. Morrison's method was by
cutting down the tariff so as to injure
the protective principle as much as
possible. The FOrty-ninth Congress
showed reduction of the Democratic
majority in the House from 7S to 43.
This should have been warning enough
that the people would not allow the
protective principle to be meddled
with. But the Democratic leaders,
like true BOurbons, could learn moth
ing. The second Morrison bill was re-
ported to the House. and on June IL,
1886, that body refused to consider it
by II majority.
Again the old question went to tbs
people, in the fall of 1886. The issue
was more clearly defined in The minds
Of the voters. They saw that the DEM
ocratic leaders were endeavoring to
use the fact Of excessive revenue to
carry legislation favoring free trade
But thousands upon thousands of DEM
ocrats voted with their party because
they construed its ambiguous tariff
plank in the National platform of 1884
as protective in principle. But the
Democratic majority in the House of
the Fiftieth Congress went down from
43 to II, and Morrison being defeated
for reelection, Mills was appointed to
the craftsmanship that he had held.
Then came Cleveland's free-trade
message, and the Mills bill, in which
Cleveland himself took hand, was re-
ported to the House. While it was
being debated the Democratic Ma
tional convention Endorsed Cleveland's
message and that bill, and renomi-
mated Cleveland. Then the whole
force of the Executive was brought to
bear on the House, and the bill passed
that body July 81, 1888, by Is majority.
The question again went to the coun-
try. The old pretense that the Demo-
Gratis did not mean free trade was
kept up, but the people had their eyes
open. The house of the Fifty-frst
Congress is Republican. the next Pres
ident is a Republican. The lesson is
one that should be plain, even to a
Democrat. The people will not have
protection disturbed, and expect the
revenues reduced without at the same
time dealing deadly blow at our in
dustrieS. Toledo Blade.

TREATMENT OF FELONS.
The Nature and symptoms of the Four
Forms of the Affection.

The Nature and symptoms of the Foul
Forms of the Affection.
The medical name of this affection is
whitlows. Every one who has been
attacked by a felon will admit that ii
richly deserves its name. The Saxon
name whitlow-a white fame-refer:
to the intense pain which attends it,
and the whitened skin over the ma,
tured abscess.
There are four forms, though if neg.
lected, the first may run into the sec.
Ond, and the second into the third.
The first is superficial. and originates
at the side of the nail in the true skin
under the scarf-skin. or cuticle. The
pain is not at first severe; but il the
cuticle is not opened and cut away with
scissors, the skin may ulcerate, and
the pus work its way beneath the nail.
In the second form, the flesh of the first
joint (phalanx) is inflamed, in conse-
quence of some injury, or perhaps
from the extension to it of the first
form. The tip Of the finger swells.
and throbs with burning pain. and pus
is soon formed. Unless the abscess is
opened early. the pus may burrow into
the tendon sheath. thus giving rise to
the third form, or even into the SUBJ
stance of the bone. as in the fourth
form. In the third form. the infiam-
nation begins in the sheath that en-
closes the hexor tendons-those which
bend the finger. Unless the pus is
evacuated quite early, it destroys the
tendon. burrows into the other joints
(phalanges). and destroys the finger.
1t may even extend to and destroy the
entire hand. In some cases it has
proved fatal.
In the fourth kind-and this is the
kind that is more commonly called a
felon-the Inflammation is in the
membrane (periosteum) that invests
the bone of the first phalanx. 1t is
this periosteum on which the lie of
the bone depends. and heals it when
broken. 1t can even replace with new
bone large portions which may have
been removed. II, left to itself, the
pus has to work its way to the surface
from the very bone itself, the patient
suffering unbearable agony for several
days and as many sleepless nights. An
incision to the bone alone G lives relief.
In each form of the whitiow hot ap-
plications are helpful Tho incision
should be performed by skillful ply
stefan. who will avoid arteries, and be
sure OF the location of the pus. for it
often seems to be in front, when it Is
on the back. of the bone.-Youth's
Companion.

THE PENSION QUESTION.
A Debt Honestly Duo to the Brave Mel
Who Saved the Union.

A Debt Honestly Duo to the Brave Men
Who Saved the Union.
A bill has been introduced into Con.
gress and referred giving to every sol.
der of the war now living, and who
has passed the age of fifty years, a
pension OF $12 per month. The pass
age OF this bill would be tardy justice,
but it would still be justice. A very
large proportion of the men now liv-
ing who fought for the cause Of the
Union are not rich. At the formative
time of life, the period when men were
selecting and entering into the active
prosecution of smployments which
we're to be their life work, they were
called away by the urgent needs Of the
times. For four years they were en-
gagged in the demoralizing employ
ment Of destructive warfare, and suf-
fering from the exposure which such
employment renders necessary. The
close Of the struggle found them with
out employment, many Of them suf-
fering from wounds and disease; and
all more or less untitled to enter into
competition with those who had re-
manned at home and prosecuted legiti-
mate callings. They had been paid
I'll and S13 Pc. month, in a currency
which had deprecated to an extent
that at one time made their pay only
little more than 81 in honest money.
The promises made to them to induce
enlistment were profuse and sweeping,
and practically none of them have
been carried out. As time wore on
the singular injustice and ingratitude
shown to them embittered their lives.
Laws pretending to grant pensions were
placed upon the statute books, but
most of these acts paid premium on
perjury and offered q reward for ras-
cality. Veterans were compelled to
make afhdavits for themselves or their
comrades as to the existence Of facts
ten or twenty years before, which they
might recall in q certain shadowy
fashion. but could hardly be sure OF.
until finally every honest old soldier
with feeling for the partners of his
former toll adopted the rule, ''give the
comrade the benefit of the doubt" and
was ready to swear recklessly so that
simple justice might be done to one
more Of the old-time friends
The plan adopted by Congress was
simply monstrous II it had been con-
trived in the interest of carelessness
and dishonesty the scheme could not
have been better devised. But the
bettcr rule Is embodied in the bill in
troduced at the present session. Give

quested that Internal Revenue Collector

summsrily removed from Office. Tht
Senators stated that there would be g
very important election for Drainage Com

date for one of the com Ommi5sionerships on
the Democratic ticket; that Seiberger was
an offensive partisan; that both the Col
lectors were using their offices to aid the
Democratic cause. This was a very for
midable indictment, ami. Cullom set ii
forth in his most effective way. When
he finished Farwell said:
"Mr. President, will you remove those
mem"
The President answered: Il will not,
sir
Farwell tried to argue the question, bot
Harrison cut him of short by saying Il
don't want to hear anything more about it,
sir.
When the Senator's left the White House
Cullom was as pale as a ghost and Farwell
was as red as a boiled beet. Farwell told
the interview to some Cf his friends to-day

ST. MARY's, w. VA, December 6.-Th'
Cochran well No. 6. at Eureks, is better
than was thought, and is reported to be
making over two hundred barrels per day
which is good elOugh. II was thought
that the opening Of this we'll would effect
the production of the 'Big John" for the
worse, but it is said to hsve the contrary
effect, "Bg John" having flowed more
freely since No. was struck. The Alb.
Smith we'll at Belmont in the shallow sand
is a nice thing if it holds ont. The Oh
produced by it is OF 3s gravity and is said
TO be worth five dollars per barrel. The
well commenced pumping on Tuesday
evening, and though il ID impossible to tx
hsust the salt water with the pump now II
use, it flows oil at intervals OF three or foul
hours, and makes from 25 to 30 barrels
per day. Other wells will be drilled IN
the immediate vicinity at once.
There is nothing new at Green's Run

for his new rig on Long Run on Wedbes-
day, and will have things moving out
there in q short time. The Bfowse well
is down cpe hundred and fifty feet, with

It is thought it will be in shape to 60
ahead in a short time. II the shallow
