OK the final passage of the CARRIER bill
in the Senate on Tuesday Senator Mich
OILS voted NO" Although opposed to
the plan of the bill, believing it wrong,
and that it would become burden to
the people, he offered to waive his op-
position to the bill, and to vote for
it in case a reasonable sum was allowed
the sheriff for expense. He labored
hard with the conference committee in
order to reach this end, but failed. He
acted on the principle that it is wiser
to better a bad thing and then take it,
than to be forced to take it with none
of its bad features eliminated. When
all his efforts counted for naught he
voted against the whole measure. In
this action he is supported by all per-
sons who have given the matter close
study. The bill is by no means what
the people want or have been advocat-
ing.

is fortunate that Republicans have SO

even beyond our own borders. Mckinley

PROTECT YOUR HEALTH.

Cold and moisture combined have a
torporising effect upon the bodily organs,
and the digestive and secretiye processes
are apt to be more tardily performed in
winter than in the fall; the same is true,
also, of the excretory functions. The
bowels are often sluggish, and the pores
of the skin throw off but little waste mat
ter at this season; the system, therefore,
requires opening up little, and also
purifying and regulating. and the safest,
surest and most thorough tonic and alter
ative that can be used for these purposes
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Persons
who wish to escape the rheumatic twinges
and dyspeptic agonies, the painful dis
turbances of the bowels, the bilious at
tacks. and the nervous visitatiOns, so
common at this time of the year, will do
well to reinforce their systems with this
renowned vegetable stomachic and invig
GRANT. 1t improves the appetite, strength,
ems the stomach, cheers the spirits, and
renews the v hole physique. 4-2-4t

GEN. GARRISON, in his letter to the
Republican League, said "the secu-
rity, peace and equality of all citizens,
whether they live in humble huts along
the Yazoo or in frescoed palaces along
the Hudson, are of more Importance
than tin cup" And he is right. One
of the burning issues of the next Presi-
Dental fight will be the question of ne
gro suffrage. Law cannot be systemat-
ically violated, and no punishment fol-
low. 1t is rule of the political as well
as of the moral and physical that the
intraction of law has penalty. Though
it may be long in falling. yet it will fall,
and woe to those who by long years OF
open breaking of the law have incurred
the weight of its penalties.

not this fall.

Co1JNTE Won MOLTKE, the greatest
living General died suddenly on FIJI
day evening. His death was caused
simply by the running down OF hfe's
machinery, as he was in his 91st year.
He was a scholar and scientist, but pre-
eminently a soldier. Calm, simple IN
habit. brave and kind, he was the ideal
soldier. He has had long, eVentfui
and useful career. He won victories
for his country from Denmark, Austria
and France. He was essentially the
modern general in distinction from the
old. His high military genius was back
ed by the most elaborate scientific and
painstaking methods. To him, almost
as much as to Bismarck, is due the
present greatness of Germany. He made
the German federation possible. bis
cannon supplemented the council and
realized the dream of the great Chancei-
lor. His loss is mourned profoundly IN
Germany, and in every civilized eoun'
try, for SO great man belongs not &c
any one country but to the world.

In an interview printed in the o. s.
Journal Of Thursday, Representative Nc
Kelvey explains how the recent Com
mercial Congress at Kansas City, to
which he was delegate, was committed
to the Democracy. Numerous delegates
were run in from adjacent Democratic
States. Oklahoma cast more votes than
Ohio, Missouri more than Minnesota,
and Kansas more than Illinois. A rule
was adopted providing that only accred-
tied delegates present should be permit
ted to vote, thus effectually excluding
protection delegates from remote States.

BEING interviewed at Cincinnati last
Friday, DIR. Chauncey NJ. Depew said
several very and pertinent things. He
said. "The Farmers Alliance originated
because of the failure of the crops for
three years in succession. The Alliance
was the outbreak of despair. 1t was
the feeling by community engag-
ed in a special occupation that nothing
could be worse than the present" he
said that last fall "the people voted
according to the predictions of the
prophet. When they discover that the
prophet is stuffed, there will be a revul-
sion as vigorous as a stampede. The
kicking this fall and in the Presidential
campaign will not be against the Nc
kinley bill, but against the false proph'
cts who predicted disaster when the
practical results of the operation OF the
measure have been to produce prosperi-
ty to the country"

WILL FOLLOW OUR PLAN.

Cleveland Leader.
Those Americans who find fault with
the way in which United States Senators
are chosen, and think it would be better
if they were elected by the people, should
note that the new constitution, adopted
by the recent Australian convention, and
which the various Australian States are
likely to accept, has copied our system
closely, the only difference being that
the small number of Australian States
necessitated the apportioning of eight
Senators to each State instead of two.
This is an endorsement that deserves
more than passing mention No other
of England's great colonies are so purely
Anglo Saxon, and in none is there a
higher average of intelligence, liberty,
and all that contributes to good govern
ment. The convention that framed the
new constitution was composed of the
ablest men of an active, intelligent.
and very progressive people, and their
unequivocal approval of our plan ought
to make even the warmest advocate of
popular senatorial elections pause and
earnestly consider whether after all the
old plan adopted by the fathers and in
dorsed by the best thought of the present
day, is not the best and safest.
