illiteratiye remark at g reception given
Mr.. Blaine, where DIR. Burchard was one
of the impromtu speakers, died at Sara
toga on the 25th, aged 10 years. He de-
nominated the Democracy as the party Of
Rum, Eomanisin and Rebellion y 1t
was promptly taken up by the Demo-
cratic managers, and heralded to the
country as associating the Catholic
Church with Rum and Rebellion
The effect Was that thousands Of Cath
oiics voted the Democratic ticket to re-
buke the SANDER, who otherwise would
have voted for Blaine, and thus gave
Cleveland New York by l,1o0 majority,
and elected him.
The failure of s. v White s. Co., of

furb business much. The liabilities are
reported at $1,000, 000, and it is said the
assets will very nearly, if not quite cover
this. No one is pressing for a settlement
as general confidence is felt in Mr..
Whites ability to pull through. Piles
of letters and kilograms were received

Mr.. White will resume business in few

Internal Revenue Commissioner Mason
has lately been gathering considerable
/ information regarding the best methods
of measuring whiskey. Experiments
which have been made under his direc-
| ton show that more inaccuracies occur
from gauging than from weighing
whisky, and it is probable that the lat
ter method will be adopted by the Blu.
reau The result would be large re-
duction in the force OF gaugers and a
consequent saving Of considerable e8-
pense to the Government
There is no bread for the people and
no fodder for the horses,H is the news

Cattle are dying by the road side and
women, in many cases mothers of fami-

their children. Distress and suffering
are widespread, which viii be intensi>

NOT ONE SORE NOW.
Baby Afflicted with Bad Sores and
Eruptions. No Relief. Perman-
emily Cured by the Cnticura.

During the summer of 1899 my eighteen
months old infant was so afflicted with erup-
tions that ordinary domestic remedies failed tic
give any relief. On his hips would often appear
the seeming track Of a little wirelike worm
and on other parts of his body bad sores came
EDIES. For some time used the soap and salve
without a blood medicine, but they did not dc
so well as when all were used together. 1t has
now been nearly year since the eruption was
healed, and very much feared it would return
with the warm weather Of this year. but the
summer is passed and not one sore has appeared
on him. Mrs. A. NJ. WALKER,

1t will be seen that the exports this
year, for the period covered, are five and
one quarter times as great as for last
year. The Chronicle remarks that
about G, 900, 900 bushels only went to the
United Kingdom and the remainder,
nearly two thirds of the whole, went to
the Continent of Europe. These are.
facts which render the manufacture of
gloomy predictions an industry as I'M
profitable as it is melancholy.

Cuticura Remedies.

Ii the thousands OF little babies who have been
cured of agonlzing, itching, burning, bleeding,
scaly, and biotchy skin and scalp diseases could
write, what a host of letters would be received
by the proprietors of the CUTICURA REMEDIES.
Few can appreciate the agony these little ones
suffer- and when these great remedies relieve in
single application the most distressing ecze-
mas and itching and burning skin diseases, and
point to speedy and permanent cure, 1t is pos
iIlvely inhuman not to use them without mo-

The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg I1afteG appeal says in effect
that the last Legislature of Virginia was
the weakest and most do-less legislative
body that has ever assembled, and fears
that the Legislature to be elected this
fall will be no improvement on it, iudg-
ing from the nominations thus far made.
Nearly all of them are new men, with no
legislative experience, and limited knowl-
edge of public affairs. Richmond is man
ifesting considerable concern about the
men to be sent from that city-most of
those prominently mentioned not COM.
ing up to the requirements of the occa
sion. Party leaders are too timid. 1t is
their temporizing, compromising spirit
that promises to inflict upon the State
an utterly incapable legislative body.

The Ohio Contest,

We notice in our exchanges that the
egregious blunder of nosing into the pri-
vate business affairs of Gov Campbell
with view to exposing the straitened
condition Of his finances, and thus injur-
ing his credit at home and abroad
There could be nothing more impolitic
from a political standpoint, and nothing
more despicable from a personal stand
point. No one questions the honesty
and integrity of Governor Campbells
motives or the clean personal record
that is freely accorded him. He may
be q careless business man, of which
we have no doubt. Others greater than
he is, have had to plead guilty to this,
without in the least impairing the conf
dence of the people in their publicinteg-
rity and patriotism. Instead of injuring
Gov. Campbell in the estimation OF fair
minded men. the assaults that are being
made upon him because of some fnan-
cial misfortunes, will call for sympathy,
| and draw to him support that might not
otherwise be gwen him. The American
people love fairness, and despise persecu-
ton, and if the luny-headed friends OF
| Major Mckinley persist in the course to
| which we have referred, they will do
more to defeat him than the Democratic
party could do. If Mckinley should be
defeated. it will be due to their attacks
upon Campbell on account of his private
business.
Upon the issues properly up for decls-
ion in Ohio, in this contest, we believe
Mckinley is right and Campbell wrong !;
but we would hesitate, were we citizen
OF Ohio, before we could cast ballot
| that would be tantamount to endorsing
the ghoul-like spirit which has been in
| jected into the campaign by some of Nc
Kinleys friends. We know nothing could
be more distastefnl to Major Mckinley
| and nothing SO offend his nice sense of
propriety and honor, than these hyena
attacks upon Campbell. From political as
| well as personal considerations, we know
he must deplore them, and we are sure,
if they are persisted in they will do him
infinite harm.
In great contest like that being
waged in Ohio, where the lines, as sue
cinctly stated by Mr.. Blaine, are drawn
between sound currency and protection
on one side, and corrupt currency and
free trade on the other, the people care
nothing about personal matters not re-
lated, in any legitimate way, to the cans
vass. Their minds are absorbed with
the important and vital questions at
issue, and every effort to divert them
from their due consideration, by thrust
ing in personal matters, will have the eff
feet to draw out protest against the
men who do it, and the party that toler-
ates it. A formal protest ought to be
made against it by Major Mckinley and
the organized authority Of the party he
represents.

binary significance. Mr.. Brooks is known
throughout the United States as di-
vine of extraordinary ability, as well for
his liberal views of ecclesiastical cues

mental structure and his moral courage,
and will bring to the Bishopric of Mas

a proficiency in theology and an ability
rarely equalled.

1892.

There has been of late considerable
speculation as to the Repu blican nomi-
nee for President in 1899. OF course no
one can tell what q day will bring forth.
But the indications now strongly point
to Harrison There is no doubt Of q de-
cided and perceptibe change favorable
to him, and the fact that not to noIni>
nate him would be tantamount to a
condemnation of his administration, in
creases the probability of his selection.
This view is evidently entertained by
Mr.. Blaine himself and unless compiled
tions arise now not expected we think
it more than likely Harrison will be
placed at the head of the ticket.
1t may be that all these indications
will be changed, as to both Harrison and
Cleveland before the conventions of the
respective parties meet. II they do not
the country will be invited to fight the
contest of 1888 over again under the
same standard-bearers as then.
With Cleveland the Democratic nomi-
nee and Harrison representing the Re
publicans, the absorbing issue would be
the tarif-protection maintained by the
Republicans and free trade by the De-
nocracy. The issue would be plain, sim
pie and unadorned, and the people then
would determine whether they favor
home interests and home industries to
foreign interests and foreign industries
in 1892
While there is much opposition to
Cleveland in the Democratic party, it
looks to us that he is the only hope of
the Democracy. His views on the cur
rency will make his nomination a neces-
sity. 1t would be useless for any party
to go before the people of the three doubt
full Northern States upon an unsound
financial platform, and there is no other
Democrat prominently mentioned in
connection with the nomination OF that
party who stands so square as does
Cleveland against fraudulent dollar
and debased currency.

The improvement in railroad securi-
| ties and the active demand for them on
rising market, and the improvement
and activity in the iron market, are
sure indices of the business pulse OF the
country 1t is strong and confident.
No two interests so clearly constitute
the barometer of trade as these two.
They point to a lively and profitable fall
and winter trade, and an unusual pros
perity next spring.
Iron is on the advance, and will con-
tinue to rise in price. The immense
traffic that will be transported this fall
and winter over the railroads, will ne
cessitate unusual expenditures for re-
pairs and repIenish of rails next spring,
and the effect will be to keep iron at a
high figure.
Diptheria has been very prevalent and
fatal in the Massie's Mill neighborhood,
Nelson county, Va, where there is pure
spring water in abundance. This re-
flutes the idea that the disease is carried
by impure water.
Wheat is going out at the rate of l.
100000 bushels day, against 100000
bushels week this time last year. And
gold is coming in at the rate of 81, 000,
coo day.
The rain-makers have succeeded in
Texas in drawing water from the clouds
by exploding bombs. The experiment
has been more than satisfactory.
