There are multiplying signs that the
leading Republican newspapers are
thoroughly disguised with Mr.. Blair's
efforts to push through Congress the
bill to Promote Mendicancy," and
mean t. have the Republican mem
bers Of the Senate understand ttat the
best service they can render the party is
to defeat the scheme when it comes up
after the recess. We quoted the other
day the opinion of the Cleveland Lead
favor aud its advice that the less
time Congress spends over it the bet
ter. The St. Paul Pioneer-PreSs is
still more emphatic, publishing lead
ing editorial article, eDtItled"the Blair
Bill Again." which is very significant.
1t begins by saying that "it seems al
most like an imposition upon the pub
lie TO take up again the discussion of
Mr.. Blair's bill to centraliZe the Gov
eminent by putting it in charge of the
pu5lic schools OF the nation, ana to
promote mendicancy among The States
10y offering TO those that will do least
for local education the greatest subsidy
from the Federal Treasury" but it
holds that it is 1.-The duty of the press
to expose once more the fallacies, and
worse than fallacies, that are contained
in the proposition, and to help avert a
blow which, we firmly believe, could
produce nothing less than the rum of
the splendid system of public schools
which has been built up by the loving
care and liberal support OF the Ameri-
can people," 1t therefore proceeds to
show objectionable and un-American
features of the principle on which this
project rests,n the demoralizing effect
of the mere agitation of the scheme,

Senator Vest was right when he said
Cleveland's Tariff Reform Message
was but the inauguration of war to
the death" upon Protection. This, be-
cause the monopolists would refuse to
acquiesce in reasonable reduction, and
thus force a fight that would end either
in the absolute slavery of the masses
to the protected classes, or the entire
wiping out of the evil. And the evil
will be wiped out-d0n't you forget it!

Indignation runs rampant among
English printers, just at the present
time, over the remarks of the Lord
Mayor OF London, liz recent address
to them. His Lordship, with more
candor than tact, told them that En-
glish printing is inferior to that of eth
er Germany or the United States; that
it is disgrace to England that it is so
and that if they do not put the art lat
least on an equality with other nations
they were altogether unworthy of their
calling. English trade journals find
it no easy matter to combat the state
ment. We, as Ameri cans, with no
disrespect to the printers of the moth
er country, are apt to agree with His
Honor the Lord Mayor.

Persons in the enjoyment of robust
health cannot afford to look upon the
coming influenza with Indifference,
says the Star Sayings. Hence it
must regard it with some little nppre-
hensiou. All the more is this true
when we consider the somewhat heroic
treatment which leading physicians in
New York are now prescribing. To
many prospective patients the remedy
will appear worse than the disease.
Severe cases are said TO have this as
pect: There is q sudden chill, follow
ed by a fever, nervous depression,
neuralgia pains and headache. When
these sy nptoms occur it is recommend
ed that
a full dose of quinine should be taken. In
an adult without any constitutional pecu
liarity unfavorable to the action of QUINN e,
the first dose should be 20 grains; after this
10 grains may be taken three times day,
unless there should be intense ringing in the
ears, with some impairment of hearing. An
attempt should also be made to destroy the
mIcrobe by local applications. These may
be made to the nose and throat. y snuff
made of 4 drachm and Il half of powdered
sugar, drachm and 4 half of roasted coffee
finely powdered, and three grains of menthol
thoroughly mixed should used. This should
be drawn into the nOstrils, if possible, as far
back as the throat, every hour or half hour,
or even oftener. This may be used as freely
as desired. A gargle of one drachm of bo-
raX, one drachm of salicylic acid, one fluid
ounce Of glycerine, and seven ounces of rose
water should be used three or four times in
the day. AT night 10 grains of Doyer's
powder, with hot drinks and abundant bed
clothing to promote perspiration will be use
full.
Twenty grains ofquinine as starter.
Then snuff; then gargle, then Dover's
powders, bot drinks and perspiration.
Well, the man who can stand all that
need have no fear of the result of the
most severe examination for life insur-
ance. He will be considered an Al risk

We have high hopes that our tariff laws
will be wholesomely revised. They need
revision. We are promised revision by
that party which is not afraid to act; by the
party of progress; party that keeps its
faith.
Here is what your party promised
the "fat-fryers" last year, in the Chi
cago platform:
II (after raising the import taxes on ninety
per cent. of the taxables to prevent impOrts)
there shall still remain a larger revenue than
is requisite for the wants of the Govern

ternal revenue taxes (whiskey and tobacco)
rather than surrender any part Of our pro-
tective system.

ed a dividend for the year of forty -t,oO

work for a dollar day. Who gets
the benefits of Protection-the employ
er or the Iaborer? Let the above an
swer. AS for us, we believe in protect
ing the consumer a little, too, even at
the risk of reducing the percentage OF
profits to the mine-owners. The truth
is, your Protection is a steal from the
consumer-not for the benefit of the
laborer, but to add to the boarded
riches of his employer. Forty-twO
per cent. profit in one year, forced from
the pockets of the unprotected classes
by law, is an outrage upon all decency;
and the time will soon come when peo-
pie will be amazed that such mon
strosity could ever exist "by the con-

seriously hurt, but houses. barns, fences,

About $50 P. NJ. dark cloud formed in
the southwest and at g rain began to fall
At 6:15 the people were startled by the roar
ing sound that announced the approach of
the "western zephyr and before they could
leave their houses the cyclonic wave struck
the town, and instantly the air was filled
with flying houses, fences, household uten
sis, and the sound of crashing timbers with
the frightened screams of those made home
less by the storm, made the night one to be
remembered
The shock of the storm only lasted 4 mo-
ment. Lightning might be more rapid, but
| it is no more certain in its destruction.
| The main current of the storm formed a
| brilliant electrical display to those who were
| outside its path and could watch its course.
1t was dark mass of cloud seemingly on

discharges. There was one mass Of flame

| Immediately following the storm heavy
rain began to fall, lasting about 10 minutes

Archbishop Nicaun, of Odessa, has
created a sensation in Russia by ser
mon in which he denounced the intem-
perate habits of the people, Here is a
specimen Of his philippe against the
drink evil: "What is it that causes the
widespread impoverishment of the Rus
sian people? The sale of intoxicating
liquors all over the empire is supported
principally by Russians and by very few
foreigners. For the sake of drink,
which the orthodox Russian takes to
with an ayidity beyond all control, he
sacrifices fortune, character and morals.
Foreigners are ashamed of being intoxi-
Gated, foul mouthed and disorderly, but
Russians never. The consequence is
that the Russian is everywhere the
hired servant of the foreigner. Honest
work is no disgrace, but in our present
social state the Russian willingly lends
himself out to the jew and the German
while the German would consider him
self lowered if he labored for Russian,
and the Jews, if they work at all among
Russians, are nearly always in some
capacity of superintendent" Chicago

A PATRIOTIC MEASURE.
The Chattanooga and ChicSamauga Ma.
tional Military Band.

Ihe Chattanooga and Chickamaug1 Ma
tional Military Band.
A bill has been prepared by General
Grosvenor, establishing the Chatta-
nooga and Chickamauga National
Military Park, which has the sup
port of the leading members of the
societies of the Army of the Cumber-
land, the Army of the Tennessee and
the Army of the Potomac, and all the
leading eX-Confederate officers engaged
in the battles indicated. 1t provides
that upon jurisdiction being ceded to
the United States by the States of Ten
nessee and Georgia that the public roads
along the crest of Missionary Ridge
from the north end of Shermans Heights
to Rossville, the road from Rossville to
McFarland's Gap, and the road from
Rossville by way of Lee and Gordon's
mills to Crawffsh Springs shall become
approaches to and parts of the said Ma
tional Park. The park proper, to which
title is to be obtained by the United
States by condemnation and purchase
after the ceding of jurisdiction by the
State of Georgia embraces the battle
field of ChaCkamauga, and is to be
bounded by line starting on the Lafay-
cite road just north of the Cloud House,
thence west to Netherlands Gap, thence
along the Valley road to the road from
Crawtish Springs to Lee and Gordon's
mills, thence to these mills, thence
down the Chickamauga river to Reed S
bridge and thence to the place of begin
ming, covering about 1000 acres.
The affairs of the park are to be man
aged under the Secretary of War by
three commissioners, one to be an army
officer. 1t is made the duty of these
commissioners under the Secretary of
War to ascertain and substantially mark
all battle lines. The Chickamauga
Memorial Association, an incorporation
under the laws of Georgia, and the
authorities of any of the States which
had troops in the battles of Chicllamau-
ga or Chattanooga, are given the right
to ascertain and mark the lines of their
troops, subject to the approval Of the
Secretary of War, who shall have the
right to decide disputed points.
Present owners of property on the
field within the proposed limits of the
parla are to be allowed to remain if they
so desire to on their lands of purchase
by the Government on terms which
amount to little more than agreement
on their part to preserve the buildings
which were standing at the time of bat
tie and the present outlines of fields
and forests, and to help care for and
preserve the marks which may be placed
on the field. An appropriation of $780,
600 is provided for carrying the act into
effect. The bill has been under consid-
GRAFTON by n large number of soldiers of
both armies for over year.-Washing-
ton Letter.

LAYING FOR INJUNS,
A Pennsylvania Veterans Encounter With
aDodGing Red Man.

A Pennsylvania Veterans Encounter With
DodGing Red Man.
While we were lying at Fort Laramie
in 1865, Kiowa Indian from Kansas
came on to act rs a Government scout.
He could speak English first rate, and
having lived among the whites for years
he had picked up good many pointers.
We soon learned among other things
that he could put up his dukes" in
tirst-rate style. In fact, when put
against our best man, "Joe," as the In
dian was named, knocked him out in the
seventh round. We put him on to few
extra lodges, and then waited for the
fruit to ripen.
Troops were pouring in for the Indian
war, and most of them were old vets
from the Army of the Potomac. Most
of these were in a great hurry to knock
over an Indian, either with fist or bull
let, and the half-dozen redskins about
the fort had to hustle to save their ba-
con. One day when tho sign was right,
we logged Joe out in true Indian style,
gave him his cue as to how he should
act, and sent him down among some
Pennsylvania troops. They spotted him
for scalp-raiser at once, and were hust-
ling him around when we appeared and
demanded fair play. The leader of the
nustlers was a big corporal of flstic
fame, and the minute it was proposed to
get up mill between him and the In
dian he jumped clear OFF the ground and
yelled:
"Whoopee! That hits me! I've been
laying for an lnjun! I'll give you my
head if he stands through the first
tound!"
Arrangements were soon made. We
went out where the wagons were park
I'd, cleared space, and the principals
we're soon ready. Joe was as calm as a
Nay morning, having little to say,while

the corporal was all "gabr and excite
ment and kept calling out:
Watch him, boys, and don't let him
runl'
We had siX-oupce boxing gloves, and
1t was to be Queensberry rules. When
Joe was ready, everyone but the cor.
poral could see that he had "been
there;" the latter was in such hurry
''to punch an Injun" that he overlooked
particulars. He weighed at least thirty
pounds the most, and there was grin
of delight on his face as the call came.
He went in to secure Knockout blow,
but several surprises awaited him. He
could no more hit that Indian than o
boy could lasso a weasel; and when the
first round closed his grin had given
place to a look of astonishment.
When round second opened we gave
Joe the wink. He made dodge or two,
feinted, swung his right with smash,
and the corporal uttered yell and went
to earth to snore like horse for five
minutes before he came to. 1t was as
clean Knockout as any one ever saw,
and he was man enough to realize it.
