The Greatest Strike.

Among the great strikes that of Dr. Miles in discovering bis New Heart Cure has proven itself to be one of the most important. The de mand for it has become astonishing. Already the treatment of heart dis ease is being revolutlonlzed, and many unexpected cures have been effected. It soon relieves short breath, futtering, in side, shoulder, arms, weak and hungry spells, op- pression, swelling of ankles, smother ing and heart dropsy.

TEE New York Times makes a strong point in the subioined para graph:
 There is sweet simplicity in the way in which the Mckinley papers arc claiming the fall in the price of sugar as one of the blessings of their tariff. If the repeal of one duty on imports reduces the price of the ar ticle, why should not the same effect be produced by repeating othersp And why should it not be got in the same way2 If It is good for the working man to have cheap sugar, why would 1t not be equally good for him to have a cheap coat, cheap blankets and a cheap house to live in? And if it would be just as good, what kind of fool do the Mckinley papers think the working man IS that he cannot sse the facts in one case as we'll as in another? And since lie is taught to be thankful for cheap sugar, got by taking off duties, how is he to be prevented from being angry at the high clothing, bedding, etc., caused by increased duties?

HORACE CHILToN, who has just been appointed by Gov. Hogg to fill the vacancy in the United States Senate caused by the resignation of Senator Reagan, is native Texan and the first native of the State who has ever been selected to represent that commonwealth in the Senate. He is about 37 years of age and has the reputation of being one of the most brilliant young men Tn Texas. He is lawyer of distinguished abil ity, an eloquent speaker and Dem ocrat from the ground up. Chiffon has taken an active interest in polit- ical affairs for the last twelve years, although not much of a politician. He has attended nearly all the State conventions and was delegate to the last National Convention at St. Louis, and supported Isaac r. Gray of Indiana for Vice President. In 1882 he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress from the Third District against Governor Richard B. Hubbard. The convention was tied for several days and finally dark horse, in the per son of James H. Jones, was nomi- hated. His friends claim that he will not be slow in making his mark in the Senate, and that he will be able to hold his own against the ''old stsgers" who will undoubtedly be candidates when the next Leg Islature meets. It IS asserted that as public speaker he very much resem bles the Kentucky Breckln- ridge. He is yellow haired, yel low bearded man, in the prime of life, enjoying good health and wide popularity.

TIE cotton trade this year is con- fronted with conditions which it is safe to say have found no parallel within recent years. The primary feature is of course the immense size of the seasons yield, which has swamped all but the very largest estimates, and as yet shows no abatement. The monthly report of Secretary Hester of the New Or leans Cotton Exchange shows the movement of the crop during April to be the heaviest for the month on record. The monthly total brought into sight reached 295, ,436 bales, ex- ceeding April, 1890, by 175,92 bales and the same month in 1889, by 154, ATS bales. Tine movement from the first of September to the close of April includes total receipts at all United States delivery ports of G.. 54s, ,227 bales against 5,6Ss,3 ,314 bales last year, and 5,396.4oS bales the year before. Against this vast flood of supply the trade has not been able to oppose any sufficient barrier, and the result is that mid ding upland cotton at New York is lower than at any time since 1886, year of great depression in the cot. ton trade,

A Democratic War Cry,

The late republican congress du- ring it's two years of existence cor tributed a great deal of material for democratic use in the next eam- paign, the most conspicuous and ef- fective of which was the wholesale system Of unparalleled extravaganza through which it justly earned the title of "the Billion Dollar Congress" For years the republican party has advocated policy of extravaganza and by consistently sticking to it won upon 1t. It has boldly assailed the democratic party for advocating and supporting governmental econ

 Editor DEMocRAT:-If you will al low me space in your paper l will try to give my friends of old Pope some idea of this country.
 First: This is one broad, solid prairie, the land-a great deal of it. almost as level as floor, the soil as productive as any God has ever made, and all that it takes to con vince one of this fact is to drive over the country and behold the large wheat fields all over the country. And yet there is large quantity of these lands yet idle--enough to fur nish homes for many of the homeless in the crowded East.
 Having already spoken of the pro ductiveness of the soil, will mention some of the advantages of this coun- try: There is no sprouting to do, the land will not wear out or wash away, no rails to make to fence with as the fencing is all done with barb, ed wire-some using one wire only the first year-and only three wires make complete fence, the posts be- ing from fifty to one hundred feet apart with small stays between; there are no rocks here to interfere with the blow or to wear away tools Of any kind; the water Tn this country is like the water in all other countries some good and some bad, and easily obtained by digging to the depth oi from 40 to 80 feet, anything will grow here that grows anywhere else I see some of as fine corn here as ever saw on Big Piney, as to how il will mature 1 can tell better in the future.
 fany of my old friends wish tc look over this country will be ready at any time to go with them when they come. J. k. RUSHING.

Next they encountered mll1dam and tried
to she's it with the usual experience, and
kept on until they reached rapids, and the
boat was drawn into gorge from which
they could not extricate it.
They reluctantly abandoned their faith

about TO give up the struggle when they

point on they hoped to find the river free
to the gulf.
A wide detour took them past the city,
and on reaching the river again they STUN
bled upon a party of workmen construct
ing Confederate ram. In the vicinity
they found an old rowboat, which they
coniscated, only to find it badly a-leak.
But it foated them down stream into a
nest CT good skiffs moored along shore,
and they quickly snapped for better one.
Just as they pushed off again the owner Of
the boats came in sight and began to ez-
press his opinions in strong language.
Thinking that his anger was too lofty for
such little thing as a boat they deter
mined to give him better excuse for it. and
so cut all his boats adrift, and while be
followed them down stream they rowed up
against the current. The angry man got
help, caught his boats and started in pur-
suit of the audacious robbers. Fortunate

hunger. This was becoming a serious
thing. With strength 20 use the paddles
they could make fifty miles day. They
could find no food along shore excepting
corn. The river bottoms consisted of
swamps and swampy forests, and in these
snakes and alligators were abundant. The
latter followed them like hounds and add
ed to the fear. Finally, overcome by hun
ger, they left their boat and started in
search of food. They secured a little and
returned to find their boat had been car
