HOT WATER REMEDIES.

Halls Journal of Health.
Tepid water acts promptly as an
emetic and is soothing as well.
Headache almost always yields to the
simultaneous application of hot water to
the feet and back of the neck.
A towel folded, dipped in hot water,
wrung out rapidly and applied to the
stomach acts like magic in cases of
collie.
There is nothing that so promptly
cuts short congestion of the lungs, sore
throat or rheumatism as hot water, when
applied promptly and thoroughly.
A towel folded several times and
dipped in hot water, and quickly wrung
and applied over the toothache OF
neuralgia, will generally afford prompt
relief.
A strip of flannel or napkin folded
lengthwise and dipped in hot water and
wrung out and then applied around the
neck of a child that has the Group will
usually bring relief in ten minutes.
Hot water taken freely half an hour
before bedtime is the best cathartic pos
sible in the case of constipation, while
it has most soothing effect upon the
stomach and bowels. This treatment,
continued few months, with proper
attention to diet, will cure any durable
case of dyspepsia.

BANK CHECKS.

The status of bank checks in ordinary
business transactions has yet to be de-
fined with absolute clearness.
Some courts have heretofore held that
the acceptance of a check by a creditor,
where the latter has funds in bank to
draw upon, was a legal satisfaction of
the claim.
But the Supreme Court of Minnesota,
in decision recently rendered, takes
just the opposite ground.
1t holds that bank checks are not
cash, and do not possess legal value as
money until cashed.
In other words, the giving of a check
on bank is not payment when passed
between debtor and creditor, but only
becomes SO when the money is received
on it.
The Minnesota Court rules further
that in accepting check from debtor
there is no legal presumption that the
creditor takes it in absolute payment,
but only conditionally, or as written
acknowledgment of the debt.
Where goods are sold for cash on de-
livery and the purchaser tenders pay
ment in a check or draft on his banker,
such payment is only conditional. If
the check is dishonored on presentation,
the seller may retake the goods for the
purchase money, even from the possess
ion of third innocent party, unless it
can be shown that the seller has been
guilty of such negligence as would estop
him from recovering in equity.
This decision is among the first rem
dered by higher courts that is so far
reaching, and if supported by other high
tribunals will settle a mooted question
in commercial circles.

THE GENERAL RESULT,

NJ Halstead, in Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The Democracy, with the stimulant of
the triumph of Tammany, are, of course,
claiming everything, and doing it e1-
ultingly. 1t is an old fashion, and we
may look upon it with complacency and
discount it for the exaggerations that
are a part of the effusion of the per-
formances. The Democracy, with their
solid South and solid Tammany and
Republican disaffection in critical places,
and their gerrymanders, have probably a
majority in the House of the next Con-
gress. They have had in aid of the
enterprise of carrying the House, the
movement" that has been carried on
with great zeal in the name of the
farmers, and the INSCRIPTIONS improve
ment of the opportunity to charge
everything with which fault can be
found upon the Mckinley bill. The
loss of the second House in the course
of National Administration is nothing
novel. 1t is commonplace Incident
the habit of the country. 1t tells nothing
of the next great struggle for the pos
session of the General Government.
Looking to the question of partisan ad
vantages purely. the shrewdest calcu-
lators are in doubt as to the House. In
this particular case the Republicans
have placed the essential legislation on
the statute book. The tariff law and
the money law are secure, and they are
the platform of the party. There is
nothing, taking the election at it worst,
to discourage Republicans. They have
placed themselves in position to get the
good of the growth of the country. The
Democrats demand hard times, and will
be beaten right on that line. The Dem
ocrats with the House, will have to
accept the responsibility, and their
weakness will be formulated. With
Tammany at the front, the solid South
in the rear, and the House as an object
lesson of warning, the next Presidential
election is lost to the Democratic party.
Ais well that ends well.

TEMPORARY DEFEAT.

New York Press.
In dispassionate review of election
results Major Mckinley has given the
country something to think about, and
at the same time has encouraged pro-
tectionists. "All great measurers have
met with temporary defeat" he says,
and the record of history confirms his
statement. The end of slavery and the
passage of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the constitution are
striking examples of the truth of his
argument. The Major believes that the
Mckinley bill will grow stronger every
day it stands On the statute books, and
that the unfavorable verdict passed on a
measure scarcely four weeks old will be
wholly reversed when it has been in
operation for couple of years. And
the Major is right.

MILLIGAN'S VAIL.

WHY THE DEMOCRACY WERE DEFEATED.
St Clairsville Gazette.
Another cause of our defeat is
the lack of willing and effective
Democratic workers. Too many of
them want pay for work at the polls,
and failing to get it stand back and do
nothing, if they do not secretly favor
the other party. We have some good
workers in this county, who hold Demo-
cracy to be principle for which they
are morally bound to work, and who
would scorn the offer of money for their
influence in its behalf, while large
number of others who work at the polls
do it for the money there is in it, re-
garding pocket above principle, and par
ty triumph a commodity to be bought
and sold. Their interest in the triumph
of either party is measured not by char
acter or efficiency of candidates, nor the
principles of party, but by the dollars
for which they are able to sell an alleged
influence. We are defeated because we
have departed from the old time and
true practice of winning votes for prin-
ciple, and rely too much upon influence
purchased with money. This is a potent
factor in the causes that led to our de-
feat, and while the time may never
come, when a certain amount of pur-
chased influence will not be indispensi-
bic, yet the Democracy of this county
can never feel assured of victory until
love for its principles is made the found
alton stone of every contest, and then
hundreds of earnest workers will rush
unbidden and unbought to defend its
cause.
Scratching was INDUCED in freely,
but principally in the towns. A glance
at the table shows that we got the bet
ter ofthat,yet doubtless hundreds ofDem
ocrats scratched their tickets thought
lessly, and to-day could not give rea-
son for it. However, it was done, and
while we may not have lost by it this
year, it is liable to work disaster to us
some time, unless it is checked. Alto
gether the result plainly indicates to
Democrats where the weak points were
this year. We can also see plainly where
the work is to be done the next year,
and what it is. Let us all take lesson
from it and profit by the disaster that
has befallen US.

HOW WILL THEY DO 1T?

Cleveland Leader.
To meet the expenses of the govern
ment it is necessary that about $225,-
100000 shall be collected annually from
duties on imports, or what are sometimes
called ''tariff taxes" This amount must
be secured in that way whether the gov
ernment is Republican or Democratic.
There need be no doubt that the House
of the Fifty second Congress elected on
Tuesday will pass tariff bill that flap
proved by the Senate would greatly re-
duce the protective duties on manufac-
tured goods, abolish them entirely on
others, and place wool and other raw
materials" on the free list. To do that
on the lines of the Mills bill, more
conservative measure than is likely to
be passed by the new House in the sum-
mer of 1892, would be to reduce the rev.
enues, or 'tariff taxation" about $751;
100000 That would be big thing for
the Democratic party were it not for
one fact: every reduction made must be
accompanied by an increase on some
thing else, or there will not be revenue
enough to run the government.
If the Democratic House in 1892 pro-
poses, as it promised, to reduce the star
iff taxes" S75,000,000 year by placing
wool, lumber, salt, and other products
on the free list, and greatly reducing
the duties on MANUFACTURED products.
how will it propose to make good the
inevitable deficit in the revenues thus
created. On what articles will it in
crease tariff taxes" and what articles on
the free list then will it propose to make
dutiable? Sugar will then be free and
very cheap. Will the Democratic House
propose to reenact the old tariff on su-
gar and thus obtain S60,000,000 of the
$75,000,000 needed? Or will it place an
average duty of two cents pound on
sugar and raise $40,000,000 from that
source? Either course would cause a
heavy advance in sugar, which is nearly
all imported. and impose dirct tax of
So to S. on every family.
There are ether ways in which the big
deficit may be made up. Internal reve-
nue. taxes may be increased in number
and amount. An income tax may be
levied. A head tax may be imposed, for
the second time in the history of the ma
tion. In some way that S75,000,OO0
must be collected, and We give our DEM
ocratic friends fair notice that in shift
ing the tariff taxes" from some prod
ucts to others, or in making up the de-
ficiency in some other way, they will en-
counter great deal more trouble than
has vet been manifested toward the Re
publican revenue policy.

TWO COMING ISSUES IN OHIO.


Secretary of State Ryan is doubles.
right in saying that the two great issue:
now before the people of Ohio are tht
reform in municipal government and tht
remodeling of the tax system. The
abuses of the city governments, ol
misgovernments, rather, have become
proverbial. For some years Cincinnati
has been a stencil in the nostrils of the
people of Ohio. One change after an
other has been made there, but the
result has been about the same in every
case-failure. Now committee repre-
senting the best elements of the city and
having as counsel some of its most emf
nent lawyers, is framing an entirely
new charter, and it will come up for
action in the Legislature this winter.
Here in Cleveland We have been cursed
by inefficient and dishonest officials, and
the need of some improvement, both in
form and personnel Of the city govern
ment, is manifest.
In the matter of taxation Secretary
Ryan expresses himself very clearly
The inadequacy of our present system
is apparent and the need of raising a
larger proportion of the income of the
State by indirect taxation is manifest.
The last Republican Legislature made
considerable progress in that direction
by passing the Massie law. There is a
doubt of constitutionality in the way of
adopting some forms of indirect taxation
such as have proved valuable in other
States, however, and until the ConStitu-
tion is amended only slow an tortuous
progress in tax reform can be hoped for.
However, Secretary Ryan does well to
point out these issues and declare that
upon right action concerning them the
future political control of Ohio largely
depends. Already it has happened sew
eral times that the result in the State
has turned upon Hamilton county, and
with municipal affairs in Cleveland
rapidly drifting to the level of Cincin-
natl with chance for similar political
complications here, the question of
municipal reform at once becomes an
issue that will not down and one that
threatens to defeat any party which
plays false with it. Tax reform is
scarcely less important in its political
tendencies for there are not wanting
signs of decided uneasiness among the
farmers concerning it.
Secretary Ryan has done the Republi-
can party service in calling attention
to the great Importance of these issues.
We have no doubt the party will in due
time be found fighting unitedly for the
cause of purity and honesty in these as
in all other matters of government.
