A DEMOCRATIC editor thinks that
business does not seem to improve
under Harrison's administration Let
him wait a little; he may change his
mind before many months pass. Also
let him remember that Cleveland's
free trade message two years ago was
the worst blow the business Of the
country has received since the panic
of '73. Every manufacturing indus
try in the country began to take in
sail. Until the close of the succeeding
campaign there was the same
hedging against the effects of the pos
sible election of Cleveland and the in
auguration of a free trade policy.
Business RECEIVERS slowly from such a
scare, and all it's bad effects are still
felt. Thousands, yes hundreds OF
thousands of men who should have
been earning good wages stand idly
around the shut doors of the factories
In their empty pockets is no money
to buy food from the farm or cloth
ing from the mills. The times have
been put out of joint; there has been
a stoppage of one of the great wheels
and all others feel thee But al
ready come signs of reviving trade, a
better demand for labor and more
active markets. In the past few
months there has been an advance in
iron of 25 per cent. This shows more
certainly than any other indication
that confidence has been restored
and the wheels will soon all begin TIC
go around again Whitewater Register

THE Boston Herald says that "Sen-
ator Spooner, of Wisconsin, says that
a mortgage on a farm indicates ener-
ty, vigor and prosperity" This is
simply a partisan misrepresentation
of what Senator Spooner said, which
was that the existence of mortgages
on farms in many parts of the coun-
try was no indication that the far
mers are either lacking in energy or
prosperity. He stated, what will
hardly be.disputed, that a very large
number of such mortgages are given
by men who begin with almost moth
ing, homestead" a tract of land, or
buy it, paying a part of the purchase
money, and giving mortgage for the
balance, or to obtain means for i'm

farmers IN the West who began in that
way and are now out of debt. Others
havenotyet paid off their mortgages,
but are gradually reaching that desir-
able consummation.-M ilwaukee Sen

Thos. B. Reed IL Sneaker.

The Republicans have found that
they made no mistake in electing T. B
Reed speaker. He has demonstrated
peculiar fitness for the Office and
proven himself man of nerve, fitness
and conviction under fire. Mr.. Reed
has met the obstructive plans and the
noisy brow-beating tactics of the
Democratic minority with strength
and force, showing that while he is in
the chair the will of the majority as
expressed through the ballot must
prevail and not be made subservient
to minority of malcontents, who
would clog the wheels of government
by preventing legislation from taking
the course a majority of the people
of the country intended it should.
Speaker Reed is strongly and ably
backed by Mckinley, Butterworth,
Canon and other stalwarts of the
party. No one taking a calm and
dispassionate view OF the contest can
but come to the conclusionsthat the
position is perfectly just,
fair and proper. It is backed up by
common sense and means that the
business before congress must go for
ward and not be allowed to lag to at
tain partisan ends.

The melancholy news of the death
of Mr.. Blaine'e daughter, Mrs. Cop
pinger, which came over the wires
Sunday, is now followed by the shock
ing intelligence that the wife and
daughter of Secretary Tracy were
burned to death early Monday morn
ing, together with one of the servants
in the family. The secretary himself,
another daughter and her children
narrowly escaped the same horrible
fate. By the side of such calamity
an ordinary death seems small mat
ter. The secretary of state has lost
his eldest son and his eldest daughter
within few weeks of each other by
disease, but hemust now feel that his
afflictionis light as compared to that
of the secretary of the navy. The be-
reavements of these two families must
cast a gloom over Washington, and
call forth universal sympathy.

How to Travel without a Ticket.

The other day, on certain railway
a man got into one of the cars and
presently began talking to a fellow
passenger. After time he asked the
gentleman whether he had heard the
story about how a man travelled with
out ticket. The gentleman said he
had not; SO the man asked him to
lend him his ticket, that he might
show him how it was done, and began
fddling about with it, but pretended
that the story had suddenly slipped
out of his head, but that he would be
sure to remember it soon. After a
time the train got near station, and,
as the man still could not remember
the story, he returned the gentleman
his ticket latter tearinga bit off of it,
and started for the door. This struck
the gentleman as being very curious,
and SO watched the man. When he
was reached by the conductor and
asked for his ticket, he said he had
given it up; but the conductor denied
it, and, after deal of alteration, the
man pulled some silver out of his
pocket and was about to pay his fare
when he suddenly said-producing a
small piece of a ticket-that he could
prove that he had given up his ticket,
because he remembered playing with
it in the train and tearing off small
piece, and that if the conductor look
ed he would find a ticket with a piece
torn off. On looking, the conductor
found ticket with a piece torn off,
and, of course. accepted the mans
statement.-StdteJ Journal.

Weather Bureaus Summary.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 15.-The weather
during the past week has been the most
favorable of the season for growing crops,
and general farm work throughout the Gen.
trail valley and northwest, the favorable con-
ditions extending southwark to Texas and
the gulf states, and seeding is progressing
rapidly as far north as Minnesota and Da-
kota, where the conditions we're very fayora-
bic. The dry weather in Kansas has unfavor-
ably affected crops in that state, where corn
planting was in progress. and oats, wheat and
grass are growing rapidly. Crop prospects
have improved in the southwest, the planting
of cotton and corn is in progress, while crops
were generally improved in Louisiana and
Mississippi. Richland and st. John parishes
in Louisiana are suffering from overflow.
and the uplands in Mississippi are too dry,
and much in need of rain.

Spotted Fever in Kentucky.

MosGANsFIELD, Ky, April 15.-Spotted
fever has broken out in Union county, and
the widest excitement prevails. 1t made its
appearance at Hanshaw a few days ago.
Since that time over a score of children have
been attacked and in each case fatally. The
Hisease is identical in all its symptoms with
that which, last summer, carried off $50 VIC
tins IN Webster, an adjoining county. In
that epidemic neither sex nor age were spared.
Only children have so far been attacked this
year. The disease runs its course inside of
thirty-s1x hours. Its approach Is heralded
by intense pain at the base of the brain. A
burning fever speedily follows. The tongue
becomes swollen and hard, Inconsistencies
ensues and death follows. After death the
body becomes spotted with yellow spots and
the limbs swell and the whole body turns
black. People are fleeing with all haste from
the country about Hanshaw. The schools
are closed, and the few physicians are almost
exhausted from overwork.

opened it became rumored that there was a
corner in pork in contemplation, and wild
scramble of shorts to cover followed, while
on the other hand, the men supposed to rep
resent the syndicate engaged in running the
corner took all that was offered. May pork
opened at $11.15, and by jumps Of Is cents
mounted rapidly to $15.25.

It's prime necessity Of health THAI the
action of the bowels should be kept pegular.
But the way to overcome temporary fit Of
constipation, or to remedy chronic costive-
ness, Is not to deluge the stomach and drench
the bowels with purgatives of violent and
painful action. The happy medium between
an imperative and violent cathartic is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which acts Just suf-
fciently on the bowels to relax them, with
out pain, and which, being a wholesome
tonic, as well as aperien+, has the effect of
strengthening both them and the stomach,
and promoting the well being of the whole
internal economy. The removal of bile from
the blood, increased activity of the liver,

SILVER.
House Caucus Silver Committee Coming to
an Agreement-Unlimited Purchase of
Bullion and Free COlnage-WIn-
dom Sticks to His Text
Bullion to be Paid for in Treasury Notes.
Which May be Again Exchanged for
Bullion or C0in-The SenAts's
PIan-Nationd Banks.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 16.-The house
caucus silver committee will soon agree upon
formal proposition. The basis of agree
ment is the Window bill as it emerged from
the house committee on coinage, with the
addition of few provisions intended to meet
the views of the silver men. It will probably
provide for the unlimited purchase of bullion
produced in the United States and free COIN
age.
The session of the house committee lasted
over two hours. There was a very full dis
cussion of the entire subject. Secretary
Window was present for part of the time,
but centented himself with reiteration of
his well known views on the subjects. He
would not abate his opposition to the plan to
make treasury notes issued in purchase of
silver redeemable in anything else than silver
bullion, but having carefully discussed this
matter, the committee decided to incorporate
In the bill provision allowing their redemp-
ton In bullion or coin at the option of the
purchaser. So the committee finally reached
the agreement above outlined, and will meet
the senate committee in joint conference.
The senate committee, after a session of an
hour and half, reached conclusion. Three
propositions were agreed to.
First-That the secretary of the treasury
shall buy 450, 600, 600 ounces of silver bullion
monthly, and issue notes in payment for the
same, the notes to be redeemabls in the bull
lion or lawful money.
Second-That national banks shall be al
lowed to issue notes to the full value of the
bonds deposited to secure their redemption,
which would add 10 per cent. to the volume
of national bank currency.
Third-That the hundred millions retained
in the treasury for the redemption of treas
ury notes be put into circulation.
1t was proposed also to induce national
banks to take out additional per cent. of cir
culation; and to abolish the tax now levied
on bank circulation, but this was withdrawn.
