The Philadelphia Times, rejecting upon
the November elections, makes the follow
ing observation /:
''Taking the best presentation that can
be made for the administration and the
party in power, the popular majority cast
against them on the direct issues forced
upon the people by the administration is
919, 079, and it will stand for generations to
come, as for generations past, as the monu-
mental revolution Of American politics.'

CURING COLD TO get rid of cold
says The Ladies' Home Journal, send to the
druggist for mixture containing sulphur
of atropia one two hundred aud fortieth of
grain; bi sulphate of quinine two grains,
and Fowler's solution, five drops, to each
dose. Take dose once in two honrs for
three or four times, or until the throat be-
gins to feel slightly dry. If this does not
entirely relieve the symptoms, repeat the
treatment the next day. Copy this prescrip.
ton carefully, and use it with care as some
of the ingredients are poisonous. There is
no danger in using it if the directions are
followed exactly. Before going to bed take
a warm bath. The next morning sponge
the body rapidly with tepid water, rubbing
it hard until the blood circulates quickly
and the skin is in glow. Take more ex-
ercise than usual, and do not sit in hot
room with the windows shut. Mix tea
spoonful of cream of tartar in tumblerful
of water and drink it during the day. If
there is constipation take gentle laxative,
as rhubarb pill. 1t is very important that
all the avenues of the body for carrying OFT
waste matter should be wide open.

The Farmer in Politics.

If the Farmers Alliance were to 60 out
of existence to- morrow as a political or
quasi-political organization, it has already
accomplished, in the short time since its
formation, more of real and lasting good
for the country than both the old political
parties since the war. We say this without
abating one jot or title of our allegiance to
the Democratic party, and recognizing in
full the services the grand old party of JEFF
ferson and jackson has rendered in its gal
liant and persistent fight against the revolu-
tionary designs of the Radicals.
But the Democratic party was powerless
where the Alliance was all-powerful. Hence
the political miracle now being performed
throughout the West and Northwest. Take
Kansas, for inst ance. That State since the
v ar has been the very hot-b bed of radicalism
and sectionalism. The bloody. shirt was its
god, and its waivers wers its prophets.
In the last Presidential election, Kansas
gave phenomenal Republican majority. In
q word, it was the last State from which
the lovers Of their country expected light
or help.
The Farmers Alliance entered the field
twelve or eighteen months ago in the midst
of this political gloom.
The net result so far is-Inzalls defeatad
for the U. s. Senate, an instruction by the
legislature against the Force bill and the
almost entire elimination of sectionalsm
from the politics of that hitherto most radi-
cal and sectional of States.
Most significant of this latter fact is that
an ex Confederate soldier was formidable
contestant for the Alliance nomination for
U. g. Senator.
The farmers may have some wild finan-
cial notions, and in this direction they are
likely to give good deal of trouble beJore
they finally settle down into the rauks of the
Democratic party where thev beloog; but
no patriot will deny that their organization
has already been Of inestimable benefit to
the country through the bringing about of
peace, good will toward .-Charlottes-

Wales Birthday.
LONDON. Nov. 9.-TO-day is the fifti
eth anniversary of the birth of the
Prince of Wales. The occasion is being
celebrated III quiet manner at Sand
ringham.s in NorfOlkshire. 4 large
number of congratulatOry letters and
kilograms have been received by the
prince. and many presents have been
forwarded TO him from various parts of
Great Britain and the continent. The
prince. through his patronage of vari-
Gus London theaterS. has done much TO
make the success or numerous plays
produced at those establishments. and
the managers and actors were DESTROYS
of showing in some way their apprecia-
ton.
Some time ago a movement was
started among the dramatic profession
looking TO the formation OF a fund to
purchase a present TO be given to the
prince to-day. Those having the affair
in hand decided upon a gold cigar box
as a suitable token OF their regard. To-
day Sir Augustus Harris headed COM
mittee representing tine theatrical pro-
fessiOn. which proceeded from London
to SandTingham. where they privately
presented the gift to the prince. The
present is superb specimen of the
gOldSmith's art. 1t weighs 100 ounces.
and the value of the metal alone IS very
great. The top of the box IS surmounted
by the three ostrich feathers forming
the cOat-Of-aTmS of the Prince of Wales,
set with diamonds.

BERLIN PANIC-srR1cKEN.
Recent Financial CoIIapses Have
Shaken All Germany.

BERLIN. Nov. 9.-The .Sommerfelds
who failed Saturday last. and who,
after the close of the days business,
opened veins in their arms anu tnen
shot themselves in the head with re-
vOivers, have both succeeded in eSeap-
ing the consequences of their financial
enoarraSSmentS 50 far as this world IS
concerned. As previously announced,
both father and son were conveyed to
the hospital. where Felix, the son, died
shortly after his admission. To-day the
father died also.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
financial panic Of considerable gravity
prevails here as result of the recent
startling financial disclosures. failures
ana the suicides attending them. Some
people are of the opinion that the worst
OF the financial storm is over. and that
when matters quiet down there will be
a beneficial reaction. In any case. the
market is diSOrganiZed to-day, and Sc
cuilsieS genersllyhave taken slump"
TO use the street. term. The influence
OF this decline of prices is already felt
IN London and Paris. and it would not
be going too far to say that the Berlin
troubles have dlsOrganIzed every mar
ket III Europe.
Additional revelations in regard to
the collapse of Hirschfeld Il Wolff. the
fall OF Herr LeIpZi ger and the suicides
of the SOmmerfeldS are matte almost
hourly. Among the additional names
or heavy losers by the financial crooked
ness OF the SommerfeldS are those of
DOwager Princess Mathilde of SnwarZ-
bursRadolstadt; prince Butcher de
WahistadT. Prince Putbus. and Counts
Satisfy, Halafresch. NeSSeir0de. Nor
desk. and many other members of aFiS-
tOcratic families. Berlin, from one end
TO the OtheT.ani Germany from frontier
to frontier. are talking of nothing else
but the financial earthquakes wiIicn
have shaken the entire fabric of the
private banking system of the empire.
No such day as this has ever been
known in the history of German fin
ances.and it is feared that the end is far
from being IN sight.
This fever of anxiety has in no way
been Gained by the latest revelation re-
garding the failures. The officials
charged with examining into the affairs
OF Herr Leipsiger, who Is supposed te
have ioated a number of spurious
drafts for Herr Wolff. OF Hirschfeid q
" off. and TO have ipaSned securities
belonging To depusiterS. decided this
morning ID burst open LeipSigeT's safe.
They did 50. and the safe was found en-
tlrely empty OF y3iuableS. There is an
international feature in the Hirschfeld
& Wolf crash which Is not lost sight CT.
That firm, as is known. were special
secret financial agents for the Russian
government. ana Wolff and his asSO-
eiates are credited, rightly or wrongly,
with having done great deal of dirty
work. for Russia.

limited TO the exercise Of spiritual DOW
ers. not only by a law which cannot be
lightly cOntrayeRed. but also by the al
most unanimous consent Of those who
thought themselves most religious. The
cOuntTy's ecclesiastical policy has now
become traditional. The honor and
strength of the kingdom of Italy must
be ScrnpulOuSly maintained. The de-
plOrable incidents produced by few

Premier RudinTS remarks concerning
the paDaey have produced bad impress
sion at the Vatican, the programme
tending to make the pope only the first
subject of the king. The pope will pre-
pare sharp note in reply. In eOnciu-
sion, the Marquis di Rudini said: I'VE
