Reporters sometimes report speeches
they do not hear. and bad work they make
of it. An enthusiastic Irishmau was once
hoaXed by a wag into reporting a speech in
parliament by Edmund Burke on the mcr-
its Of the potato is an article Of diet. The
wag repeated the speech apparently from
his notes. and the reporter, Eeyer doubling
his good faith, handed in a report. The
next morning all London was laughing
over the speech, which made Mr. Burke at
tribute the superior virtue Of the Irish peo-
pie 10 the fact that they eat so many pota-
toes.
Another reporter Jared better who made
up speech from his own Imagination. It
was a bold act, for the speech was from
the throne, George III being the monarch.

SEVENTY-FIvE DODGERS.

North. south, east and west, the papers
are discussing Mr.. Clevelands letter.
1t is the topic of topics, and more opin-
ions are expressed about it than any
subject that has yet been brought out
this year.
BY the recent test vote in congress, ZIG
Democrats voted for silver and seven
voted against the metal; on the other
hand, eleven r. publicans voted for it
and 131 voted against it. Those POI rep
resentatives, no matter how they voted;
stood forth like men and recorded their
decisions on this momentous question;
but Seventy-five individuals, for thu ben
eft of whose votes the people of these
United Stat. pay annually $315, 900,
failed to vote at all. In other words,
$50, 900 is paid to seventy-five individ-
uals, who. on question which is stirring
the masses to the very depths and de-
handing answers from people in private
station, carefully refrain from any
expression whatsoever. 1t seems
to US that for monometalists
and bimetalists, throughout the country,
therefore, there should be one position
on which they could unite, and that is
on a position which shall demand from
these seventy-hve individuals, who are
paid for their opinions, an opinion one
way or the other at once. What were
those seventy-tive congressman elected
for, if not to express their opinions:
They should be made to speak out
promptly, for while. in their case, speech
may not necessarily be silver, silence is
unquestionably gold.
The question is one of too great impor-
lance for the country not to have full in
formation Of the position Of every repre-
sentative. 1t is now and has been for
$ me time fully within the power of
these men to put an end to the suspense.
concerning silver, which the attitude of
congress has occasioned, and on them is
the responsibility for the uncertainty,
which is Of more injury than any legisla-
ton could be.

The other signed by "Mr. X. H. Lock

are a pleasure to read. Both clean cut,
concise and luminous, hitting the nail
squarely on the head-holding up the
truth in plain sight of the multitude.

repeating the sugar bounty law at this

true relation between protection and

holding the other
Have read editorials from many Of the
great daihes on the silver message, but

GENERAL sHERMAN's POPULARITY.

One OF the most beautiful features of
the late Gen. Sherman's character was
his popularity. He died beloved by
every citizen of our country, and
lamented by more friends than, perhaps,
any American hero since Washington.
lie is the one soldier in history who
achieved greatness without making a
personal enemy. He conducted one of
the most destructive, offensive cam
paigns of the war, but even the gallant
Georgian of today smiles as he accuses
him of the slight fault of being "a little
careless with fire."
Caesar, Marlborough, Frederick, Napo-
leon, Wellington, even Washington and
Grant, made hundreds Of bitter enemies,
but the grim old soldier who lies today
in his burial casket leaves not man in
the world who would say, Il hated him.
The sunset of his life was glorious one.
Probably no man ever enjoyed the fruits
Of success so modestly and yet SO thor
oughly as he did. He felt keenly the JOY
of living, and, what was better, he made
others feel that even in this world there
is a splendid recompense for every one
who manfully does his or her duty. lie
was a magnific Mt soldier; but he was,
100, something greater than that-he
was an ideal man.

WHAT TURpENTINE WILL DO.

Cotton soaked in olive oil and turpentine
and put in the ear often stops earache of
the most painful kind.
In the hands of the physician turpentine
is of great value in typhoid fever, and of
late is used in yellow fever with great sue
cess.
a teaspoonful of turpentine given in
half a glass of sweetened milk, followed in
an hour or two by a full dose of castor oil,
seldom fails to cure worms.
As a liniment, turpentine, with equal
parts of laudanum, camphor and chlOro-
form, is unsurpassed. Sprains, rheumatic
pains. bruises, and sometimes even neural
gia yield to its magic influence.
Internally, turpentine has enjoyed for a
century the reputation of being a specific
for sciatica. Its mode of operation is I'm
known, but that it cures stands as proof
of its virtue. Ten drops three times day
in sweetened water Is the dose.
A bath in a half pint of turpentine and
two pounds of sal soda in an ordinary bath
tub, three-quarters full of water, at 100
degs Fahrenheit, Will cure the itch when
other remedies fail. Three or four baths,
one daily, are usually sufficient.
For burns turpentine is invaluable, ap-
piled either with rag or in a salve The
pain vanishes, and healthy granulation
soon begins. It's use IS at first attended
with considerable smarting, but the per
manent good more than compensates for
il.
In the early stages of Group or almost
any throat or chest trouble turpentine Is
well nigh specific. Rub the chest and
throat until the skin is red. then tie
piece of flannel or cotton batting over the
chest moistened with few drops of the
oil, and inhale the vapor.
As en- inhalation, turpentine has proved
of great service in bronchitis, pneumonia,
pleurisy and other throat and lung affec-
tons. If you have cough, sprinkle
little on a handkerchief and hold it to your
mouth and nose for few minutes, breath
ing the vapor and note the relief
Turpentine, in which Is dissolved as
much camphor as il viii take up. is pre-
eminentiy the dressing for lacerations.
bruises and cuts. It's antiseptic action is
equal to that of carbolic acid: it speedily
stops the bleeding Few, if any ulcers,
long resist its continued application.
Turpentine is a sure antidote for phos-
phorus, such as children often swallow
when they lunch on match heads Five
or ten drops foated on water should lie
given ever hour until the danger is past.
No oily or mucilaginous substances should
be taken. IL the stomach Is unable to re

the decision in this case lies in the follow
ing extract from it: ''As this first attempt
TO assert any right TO the tract was more

ers secured no advantage by reason OF his
presence in the country prior TO the open

wholesome Advice.

From the .''inneld Telegram.
From present appearances it Is a mat
ter Of uncertainty about bill giving the
territory to settlement will pass the pres
ent congress. If it should, it will be too
late in the season to plant spring crops.
Our advice is. don't put any confidence
in the boom circulars sent out by the
border towns, who expect to reap bene-
fit from those who locate near them,
waiting for the strip to open. Untold
suffering can be avoided by the man who
has a team and few dollars, by renting
a piece of land and going to work raising
something to live on. Hundreds will
idle away the season for putting III a
crop waiting for the unexpected to hap
pen. The experience of Oklahoma should
be a warning. Claims can today be
purchased for less money than they have
cost in time and money to the owner.
Don't fool away your time on the strip
opening.

The Denver Republican draws an i'm
portant distinction in the following re-
marks: There is no danger from alien
landlordism. We, as citizens of Colo
RADIO, have the making of the laws under
which aliens must use their land. Alien
landlordism is to be dreaded only when
the alien has a voice or dangerous IN
tluence in the making of the laws. If
there is any one who has occasion to
tremble because of the investment of
foreign capital in Colorado. it is the
alien investor and not the citizen Of our
state.
