EvThe pleasing announcement m,

HThe pleasing announcement comes
from Indiana that John Overmeyer, q leading
Republican of that State, has left the party
on the tariff question. MIR. Overmeyer hat
been Speaker of the House Gin which he
served several sessions,) Secretary Of the
Senate, Chairman of the Republican State
Committee from 1882 to 1884, and delegate to
the Republican National Convention of 1885
This is sufficient to indicate his standing in
the party. In defining his position he de-
clares that the Republican leaders in Con-
gress have discovered new principle and
applied it in the Mckinley bill, which is for
the protection with Incidental revenue or NO
revenue at all. He says that "Cleveland was
right" and that ''the Mills bill was q very
moderate measure. and will soon be so con.
sidered generally" Also, Judge D. p. Bald
win, of Logansport, Ind, has left the Repub-
lican party on account of its high protective
policy. The woods of the west are filing up
with this kind of Republican protest ants
against tariff iniquity.

- A number of capitalists of Seattle and
Minneapolis contemplate the building of an
immense fume or tunnel from Lake WASH
ington to the shores of Seattle Harbor for
the purpose of furnishing water power for
manufacturing purposes. The level of Lake
Washington is nearly twenty feet above that
Of the bay at high tide, and the plan, as pro-
posed at present, gives eighteen feet of fall,
which is sufficient for all purposes, as it is
proposed to put in tunnel large enough to
carry water in sufficient quantities for the
needs Of the largest factories.

One OF the tactics which the Republican
leaders resort to when they wish to succeed
IN carrying elections and dividing the Demo
Gratis, isto harp about the "whisky Demo-
cracy" and coaxing temperance people and
Prohibitionists to vote with Republicans, be-
cause. as they say, the Republican party is
the only real temperance party the country
has ever had. If there be no hope of accom-
pitshing their designs by tactics of this sort,
then they are ready to unite their fortune
with any party or politics that viii listen to
their hypocritical pretensions in the interest
Of a pretended reform. y
These same Republican leaders suddenly
become powerful temperance men and de-
clare that the saloons must 60, while at the
same time they support national admins
trait on, the Vice President of which keeps a
"Shoreham" whisky tavern end leases a
sample room for the distinguished drunkards
Of the party and Republican Congress.
John Sherman gives party at his house,
where whisky takes the pace of water, and
then goes into the Senate the next day and
votes to prohibit the sale Of light wines and
beer at the Grand Army Posts of the coun-
try.
Then comes the great Ingalls, of Kansas,
who stands up in public and says ''prohibi-
tion is alright in Kansas; the temperance
people have their law and the boys have their
whisky" - III
John Sherman and ingalls, are both apos.
ties of Republicanism and as such are sup
ported BY the local Republican temperance
howlers. These same howlers support in
turn also their own state administration that
permits men to engagein the traffic by the
payment of $3.50. Observe the consistency |!
They say by their votes to the liquor men
you may sell it if you pay $3.50, but now
we've got your money you shallaquit selling.
To hades with such hypocrisy and double
dealing.

MEDICAL SUCCESS,
The Wonderful Work Achieved by
,st DR.. France and His AS
sistants.

As stated in last weeks papers, DR.. France
OF ~ and 40 West Gay street, has returned
from bis professional appointments in Cleve.
land, Toledo. Dayton and Cincinnati, and
has since been bRsily engaged with his ex-
tensive practice. That Dr.. frances pop
ulasity with the general public has not de-
creased, can readily be seen BY q visit to his
handsome offices, at the above address,
where large numbers of persons can be
found at all hours, waiting to consult with
him on the various diseases which he has
made hia specialt:es. By skilful treatment
OF the various cases brought under his care,
Pr. France has built one of the largest prac-
tices in Ohio. The newspapers daily have
an account Of some individual case in, which
he has been eminently successful. They are
only few among the many hundreds of cases
which DR.. France treated successfully during
the past year. He has gained for himself and
the institute, an enviable reputation in this
and adjoining States.-The Post.

- There are clear Indications that the
Mckinley bill will emerge from the Senate
in such form that its best friend will moi
recognize it. As the New York Herald well
says, it is scarcely likely that the Senate will
deli berately kill the bill, but it may try an
experiment somewhat hazardous to the
measure similar to that of the old farmer who
ampaSated,his dogs tail Immediately behind
the ears. IA that case the dog died as an in
cident Of the operation, although the farmer
disavowed all intention to do more than to
try an interesting experiment. Press.

REFoRMEp PREsRYTKRrANs,

PITrsBURa, Pa, May 24.-The intro
duction of the question ofjoining the
two branches Of the church caused quite
q stir In the General synod of the Re
formed Presbyterians now In session
here. The question was opened by the
Rev. John Graham, chairman Of the
General Synod committee, who had
met the Reformed Presbyterian synod
In Pittsburg last January for the pur-
pose ofjoining the two branches Of the
church, which was divided in 1888.
He said the old school members had ac-
cepted all the terms of union except
that which allowed members to vote
and hold Office. The new school had
agreed to bind themselves to vote only
for good men who had scriptural quail
fications, but they refused the right to
vote for anybody, because God was not
in the constitution.

,ays: G. E. Silcott, the cashier of the
,ergeant-at-arm's Office, WHO absconded
rom Washington on Nov. 80 with about
100, 900 has been found He is stopping
at the house OF Mr.. Thibault, the father
Of tile woman with whom he fled from
Washington. The woman is also domi-
ciled here. Miss Thbault's parents seem
to be still unaware of their daughters
fall, and apparently believe that she is
the wife OF the man whom she is said to
nave lured to his ruin. In an interview
silcott said: s'The charge Of forgery is
bosh. When left Washington for New
York, had not the remotest idea of
leaving the United States As proof of
this / point to the fact that on the
Wednesday before Thanksgiving drew
,38, 900, and with $4,000 OF this took
IN notes of members which had been

money II am accused OF dec amping with,
I assure. you that had but very little
when left New York. !
n Silcott wanted it denied that he was a
big winner at the races. On the contrary
he lost heavily. He only went to the
races to keep up and be a hale fellow
with the members who are now running
him down, He defies the detectives and
says the best legal advice in Canada
assures him that he has committed no
extraditable offense. He concluded:
