Muddy Crossings.

II was q mistake to remove the crossings
on Main and Broad streets If the City
Council did not intend to provide an ade-
quate force of street sweepers TO keep
clear OF mud and snow those portions Of
the roadway where people usually cross
from one side OF the street to the other.
The change has been TO the benefit of
owners OF vehicles and to the detriment of
pedestrians, that is to the advantage of
the few. not of tho many. The wheels and
horses have a smoother track than before,
but men, women, and children too often
have 10 trudge on imaginary " crossings
In mud and water.
1t is folly 10 go on constructing road
ways of this description. 1t is. we know,
the plan adopted IN New York. Philadel-
phia, Washington, and the other great
cities. but those cities are able 10 employ
large numbers OF street-sweepers and
these sweepers are made to keep the
crossings" olean-at least, this is the
theory.
During this week our retail merchants
have suffered no little loss by reason of
the absence of customers who stayed at
homo on account of the condition Of our
streets; Of our street-orossings more es-
pecially.
Unless the city will employ an adequate
force Of street-sweepers we say give us
back the old-time tagging. II this
Is not done then the force at the command
Of the Board Of Health should be trebled
II Is impossible for it TO do all tho work
now required of it, and it is injurious tC
business 10 have muddy crossings.
The merchants should make themselye,
heard on this subject.

CAUGHT BY A COLD.
How Blast from The North Often Causes
the Worst DiSaSterM

A cold wind blows and you feel chilled the
air may be raw and you continue TO feel chilly.
Perhaps you are riding, possibly walking, and
the chilly feeling continues. The first thing
you know II becomes a cold. What Is q cold ?
II Is a chilling Of the blood so that IL becomes
thick and clotted. Cod always makes the
blood this way. II gets clot;ed, when It does
not circulate fast enough. This is all very sim
pie end plain, is it not? And does It not clear
~ b w what must be done, when the blood
gets CHILLED and clotted7 It must be warmed
and its thick cl0tted condition removed. Can
but heat from IRE or furnace only warns the
outside Of the body aud most OF the blood Il
away from the surface and can only be reached
internally. IL requires O good, beautiful sttmu-
liant to reach IL and warm IT. This stiinulant
should always be pure whiskey, but unfortu-
natey few Hhiskeys have any medicinal pro
perties. There is but one whlakey Ia America
that possesses real medicinal power, combined
with purity, and that is Du1ys Pure Malt. That
it does possess these qualities Is proven by the
ANALYSIS OF chemists aud the testimonials and
endorsements Of thousands Of physicians and
the fact that II is the most popular Whiskey IN
the world to-day and has stood the test OF years.
This fact, perhaps. is not fully realized as II
should be, and there are many unscrupuloua
dealers who try 20 sell a cheap and inferior
Whiskey when Dunys - called for. That they
deceive aud impose upon the people Ia such
statements Is easily understood by the fact
that they can make more money on cheap and
INJURIOUS goods than on the pure and meritO-
rious. DO not be deceived by them.

A Comnromise on sIlyer.


We had an interesting csblcgram from
England yesterday touching Mr.. GoacHns
and tho silver question in England. 1t
stated that be had declared himself IN
favor Of policy very like that of BIZ
metailism. What bir. GoscHxS said was
that the scheme of issuing ten-shilling
silver notes had been abandoned CHR.
GoscHxx is Chancellor ofthe Exchequer),
but on condition that IL foreign Govern
ments opened their mints TO the free
coinage of silver the Bank Of England
would be invited to act upon the provision
of tho bank-charter act allowing it to
hold one fifth Of its bullion in silver.
All this is good news for the bimetal-
lists. An international conference would
result in great good if held next year-or
any year not too far distant, let us add.

Cyrus Field Ruined by His son's Perfidy
New York Herald

There IS no sadder story in all history
than that which is told of Cyrus W. Field.
Edward NJ, the favorite son, went to his
father whom the venerable man-ssyenty-
four years old-was Frustrated with grief
of the mortal illness of his wife. He told
his father that his firm was in trouble aud
needed money. Cyrus Field, like the noble
man he is, gave his son the key of his
strong box aud told him TO take what Sc
curities we're necessary TO tide the firm OF
Field, Liudley, Miechers d Co. over their
difficulties, not knowing, of course, the
real extent of the deficit.
And now il appears that the faithless son
robbed his father Of all he possessed. lie
emptied the box and took everything his
father owned in the world.
Cyrus w. Field is ruined through his son.

world" means the old man, sick unto
death. Can there be any picture more

CHICAGO, December 2.-Chauncey De.
pew, who is with the Vanderbilt party on
It's trip TO the West, said tonight that
Blaine would surely be the Republican
presidential nominee if he would consent
to make the race. Otherwise Harrison
would be the candidate. Mr.. Depew de-
clared that Roswell Flowers chances OF
getting the Democratic nomination were
fully as good as those of Cleveland, and
that Governor Boies, of Iowa, would GER
talnly be named for Ylce-Presldent.
In discussing the Worlds Fair Mr.. De

preparation of that amount He also SAID
that the stories about Cyrus W. Fields
financial ruin were all nonsense. for MIR.

long-announced special premium tobacco
sale came of here yesterday and to-day.
There were three warehouses full of the
best qualities of the weed seen this season
in any market. 1t required two days TO
dispose of the offerings. The prices were
wei sustained on all the grades. and they
were pleasing TO both buyers and sellers.
The sales amounted to $4,000 pounds.
Good wrappers were scarce and also fine
cutters, although the special sales did not
make this so apparent. The color and the
quality was mostly very good, and the two
