Nose Bleed.

Obstinate nose bleeding is fre-
quently one of,the most difficult
things to check. Several aggrava-
ted cases have occurred at the
Hospital of the University of
Pennsylvania. AS Il last resort
DR.. d. Hayes Agnew tried ham
with great success. Two large
cylinders Of bacon were forced well
into the nostrils, and the hemor-
rhage ceased at once. This is a
very simple remedy, and one
which should be remembered for
cases of emergency in the coun-
try.---Science

According to the statistics
of the agricultural department
the average daily wages of the or.
dinary farm laborer in the state OF
New York, in 1879 was 90 cents
without board and 6S cents with
board; in 1880, S1.21 without
board and 30 cents with board,
and for 1890, S1.23 without board
and 90 cents with board. In the
state Of Illinois in 1879 the same
laborers received S1.01 without
board and 73 cents with board, and
in 1890, 81 .13 without board and Sc
cents with boald. In Iowa in 1879,
the same laborers received Sl.l2
without board and so cents with
board, and in 1890, S1.23 without
board and 95 cents with board. So
the working man finds that under
protection wages are advancing,
and their purchasing power much
greater than it was under free
trade. Why shouldn't he be
pleased with the tariff policy,
since it has demonstratedit its bene-
fits to him directly as we'll as in
directly.
The enthusiasm to secure
water works for kirksville, which
manifested itself for short time
after our recent fire, has entirely
subsidized. There seems to be a ie-
termination on the part of the peo-
pie not to vote heavy tax upon
the town to secure an abundant
and much needed supply of water.
In our emer yency, however, we
can follow the example of Mexico,
Mo. That city now has an abund.
ance of water flowing through its
mains, and it comes from an artes-
ian well. When Mexico began

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular corresp ndent.

4
WASHINGTON, d. c., 26, 1891
Speaker Reed has again become
the target for Democratic abuse,
because he refused to sit in the
speakers chair and see the Demo-
Gratis tie up the house completely
as they wished to do. After
standing their senseless fllibus-
tering until it passed all reasona-
BILE bounds, Mr.. Reed pulled
them up so short shat he fairly
made their eyes bulge in
surprise; and the house resumed
consideration OF the annual appro-
priation bills, the only result of
the furry being that Mr.. Mills has
very badly damaged the speaker
ship boom by showing himself to
be the owner of an uncomfortable
temper and a tongue dirty enough
to make him prominent at a gath
ering OF Billingsgate fshmongers,
two very undesirable possessions
for the presiding officer of a Iegis-
latlve body.
Senator Stewart has increased
his popularity among the Demo-
Gratis by making another speech
against the election bill.
The silver Investigation is not
pauning out as sensational as was
expected when it started out last
week with the testimony of Sena-
tor Vest concerning the specula-
ton of Senator Cameron in silver
bullion. Up to this time no other
member of either house or senate
has been implicated, although
number of witnesses have been
examined. | don't think there is
any truth in the chai ge that is be-
ing made against the committee
of being afraid to probe the mat
ter to the bottom by summoning
witnesses known to possess knowl-
edge that will bring in men very
prominent in both political par,
ties. Representative Dingley,
who is chairman OF the committee,
has always seemed to me to be a
man who had the courage to do
his duty under any and all circum-
stances, and | have no doubt that
he will do everything in his power
to find out all there is in this sill
Yer business.
A delegation f1om the G. a. r.,
consisting of Gen. Veasey, COM
mander-in-chief; Col. Blue, of
Kansas, chairman of the G. A. L.
pension committee, and Col. EN-
ory, of Washington, has been Civ
en- hearing by the house commit
tee on invalid pensions, in behalf
of bill providing Efor service
pension for large number of
soldiers, possibly 250,000, whose
cases are not covered by the de-
pendent pension act of last year.
The committee paid a careful at
tentlon to the arguments of these
gentlemen, and it is believed that
the committee would gladly report
the bill if there was the slightest
probability that it would be acted
upon at this session, which, for
tunately for the poor fellows
whose interests are involved,
there isn't.
Senators Teller and Wylcott
having withdrawn their objection
the senate has confirmed the
nomination of ex-senator Hill, of
Colorado, to be a msmber of the
international monetary commits
sion, the duties of which are to [
consider the advisability of an in
ternatoinal coin or coins. The

INGALLS, DEFEAT.

To those who have watched and
studied the career and public life
of Senator Ingalls,, his recent de-
feat is neither a surprise nor dis
appointment.
That he is brilliant man is un-
questioned. He is a lawyer, wri-
ter. student and orator, and III each
he has displayed a power and ver-
satility that are possessed by few
men. His tongue is sharp and
ready, and his wit carries with it
a lasting sting whenever he choos-
es to use it for the discontinue of
an adversary.
But with the combination of all
his excellencies which could have
been exerted with SO much power
for the lasting benefit of his party,
he has signally failed. Failed be-
cause the interests of everything
were sunk in self, and his every
word and act were studied with a
view to advertising Ingalls,.
He coveted tie tiattery Of weak
er political friends and enjoyed
returning the thrusts of his enc
mics, more than he did the sooth-
ing verdict of conscience that he
had done the best he could for his
country and his rarty.
During his years of service
what has he accomplished that he
can now point to with pride as the
development of his brain and the
work of his hands. No Legislative
act is left as an enduring monu-
ment to his talent and genius. His
ssllies of wit, his cutting sarcasm
and scintillations of speech are
the only things to mark the years
of his service as the great western
representative of Republican
principles.
His speech on the free coinage
of silver sparkled with sentences
for which their author is peculiar
ly noted; but the principles had
been advocated by his enemies,
months before, In every school
house and town hall in Kansas.
1t was confession that he had
given up every other hope. Ye.
it availed nothing, but to lead both
friends and opponents to believe
that he had become as unstable as
the waters. 1t is not strange that
old soldiers listened with stolid
indlffere nee while being Emporium
ed to cast their votes for the daz-
zling statesman.
His political course is run. The
people of Kansas want a man to
represent them who viii be true to
the better instincts and impulses
of his nature; they want man
who can come down from the gid
dy heights where genius is sup.
posed to soar in solitude, and give
them practical Legislation that, if
it does not set free, will, at least,
reach out in sympathy to those
who believe themselves the ell
chained victims of capital and
trusts.

of cattle on the Ely farm.
Farmers are already making
preparations tor farming.
Fletcher & Ely purchase a num-
ber of cars of corn each week.
Mr.. r. B. Edmonds is purchas-

to build a new residence in the
spring.
Stock looks we'll and require
only light feeding so far this win
ter. The prospect now is that
there will be feed left over.
The Bryant neighborhood has
been blessed with excellent health
this winter. There have been a
few cases of matrimony, however,
that carried away some of our most
promising young men, among
them Mr.. Clark Moots and Mr.. G.
A. Marques. May success attend
them. Mr.. Moots will live on the
P. j. Reiger farm, and Mr.. Mar
guess has moved to the Rice
farm in the Bethel neighborhood.
Farmers were disappointed
when they found they were feed
ing corn worth 40 cents a bushel
to hogs worth 3 cents per pound.

Forecast Of February Weather 1891
BY PROF. GEO. ROOT, METEoRoLo-
GIsT, FOR THE CANTON PRESS.
The month of January has prov
en- all that was predicted of it,
the storms coming to pass accord
ing to their dates. A mild spell
was also predicted to set in from
Jan. l6 to %, and the same came
to pass, the river clearing of ice
at this point on the 20. We reit-
crate that the latter part of this
month will see some very cold
wintry weather, and heavy snow
storms. There will be plenty of
ice for all during the latter pant
of January and the fore part of
February.
In February, the movement of
storms will be more regular and
will cross this continent on the
following dates.
LIST, I'd and Sd, being central in
the Mississippi valley on I'd, and
passing Off the continent on Sd.
From 9Th to 9th, cloudy and
threatening ending IN heavy
storms in places.
11th to 18th, period of heavy
local storms.
18th 18th, clouding up and end
ing in heavy storms in some parts
of the U. S.
2lst 2Sth, series Of storms,
probably crossing the Mississippi
valley on the 22d, 24th and 2Sth.
The coldest days of the month
may prove the 25th and Goth.
The public may look for cold
waves on the following dates: 6-S,
l2-l4, 16-lS, 26.
This month we will also give the
date when the temperature will
rise: 4th and 9TH, 10th and 11th,
18th and 18th, 20 and 81.
On the following days there
will not be storm anywhere on
the continent, and we defy our
critics to find one: 3rd, 4th, 9th,
10th, 18th, 10Th and 10th.

TENNESSEE'S ARMY.
The Governor Can Call 1t Out Whenever
He Deems 1t Necessary.

lie Deemb III necessary.
NASHVILLE, Sept. 14.-The legisla-
ture has passed the bill giving the gov
ernor power to call out the militia when
ever he deems it necessary, and it now
only needs Governor Buchanan's sigma
ture.
The constitution declares that the
troops can only be called out by the leg
islature itself in case of invasion or in
surrection. The bill Is the outcome of
the trouble at Briceville, and invests the
governor with full power and authority
to summon, call out, maintain and use
the forces placed at his disposal
for the purpose of repelling any
invasion of the state, and to
suppress all instructions, mobs and
other like unlawful assemblages whether
existing or imminent. that shall in his
opinion be too formidable for the local
county authorities, or shall threaten to
any serious extent the immediate inter
ests Of the state. He is authorized to
keep the force, or so much as is neces-
sary. in the employ of the state so long
as a necessity appears to exist So
that Tennessee has practically stand
ing army,
Both houses passed a bill appropriat-
ing $25, 900 per annum to maintain the
militia
