From Chauncey 'Depew down to the humble grocery man all were failures. Everybody thought it easy, and asked for a harder one.

DR. PARKER, of London, is no ora tor, neither is he an eloquent pan, e'Ss Ae would not have sala that "the elo4uence of mrere 2enAences is deal except among the very young and tAe extremely feeble. Tue eloquence which meanders with the rills, floats with butterflies, languishes in pale moon light, plashes in crested foam on the golden sands, bathes in Iimson sun shine, and generally makes fool of itself, has vanished into the nothing ness out of which it came." Thls is not so, Brother Parker, and you know it. Just because you can't say pretty words yourself you get mad at all us tlowery folks over here.

WE are under obligations to B. B. Chism, secretary of state, for paper bound copy of the Acts and Resolu- tons .ef the late General Assembly. It is punctured from beginning to end with typographical errors, and pre- sents the appearance of having been printed on corks instead of type. The conspicuous absence of punctuation marks makes careful reading naces- sary to get at the true intent and meaning of it's contents. However, we are grateful to get the laws ip any shape, and will give it a careful read ing, to see if we have been guilty of .HHpqJyt4hing that comes under the bans of the new Jaws.

ONE of the most ably edited and best balanced of Alliance journals which

ONE of the most ably edited and best balanced of Alliance journals which comes to this office says: It is pecu- liar to notice that majority of the workers in the Alliance political movement are men who are not work CTS at all.' How strangely true this is when one calls to mind the men whose Hames are most frequently mentioned with. and who are regarded as the workers and mainstays of the Ali ance movement. We do not have to go out of our own state to verify the truthfulness of the journal quoted above. Look at McCracken Bush, Prince, Featherston. Langley. CarlLee. Barker and many others. They are as worthless class of men for all practi- cal purposes as could be gotten to- gether in any state in the Union. Are they men who labor? Do they pro- duce anything? Are they men of honorp of principle? of intelligence? In truthfulness the answer to these questions must be, "Non' They are d class of men who have never accom- pished anything for tnepselves or their country. They have belonged to every political organization which seemed to offer them a chance for of- flee. All except one in the let above are standing candidates for any office they can get a chance to offer for. and the exception lPrinee) will be a candi. date for congress in this district next fall. McCracken has offered for every. thing 4p to governor; Bush is q county officer and wants something higher; Featherston occupied d stolen seat in congress; Langley has been candi- date sixteen times during his short life of some forty summers; CarlLee has tried for everything, got nothing, and got mad and slandered the state as no one but an internal scQundrei as lie could do; Barker has been honored by the dcm0efatiG party far more than his abilities merited, and is now sore. head seeking u ride into positions of honor and profit upon deceptions and popular upheavals. The lesser lights are. if possible, more worthless and dangerous set. To be candid and reasonable, to give a candid and un- biased opinion, don't you think that the third party movement, whatsoever may be the wisdom of its objects and demands, is being led by men who are unworthy the confidence and respect of an enlightened people?1Monroe County Sun.

 AT this time, as usual. the higher institutions of learning are engaged il tkeir annual pastime of presenting di- plomas to graduates, and certifying that the peIGnns so honored are quail. fled to go forth and take d trained and effective part ill the promotion of the interests of truth. culture and pro. gress. The familiar Sheepskins are supposed to represent superior fitness for the duties and responsibilities ot life. But is this view always the true one? Education is desirable. of course; we cannot have too much of it, pro- vided that it furnishes us with well eQu.ppetl men. and not ulerely techni- cal aud impracticable theorists. There Leyer was Il time when we were more in need of collegiate knowledge of d sound and useful sort. The situqtion in politics, literature, society and re- ligiop is one that ca,,s peculiarly for well disciplined thought and well di- gested ilformatiun; but 1t has to be confessed that the leading sources of instruction are not yielding as much in that relation as we have a right to eX- pect from them. Their products are large, but defective. They do not pro- 'i'aO o HUiISiVhp Pi'i'ht"h VI SCi'tai upon whom we can rely for exceptional and advantageous service. Their lists of graduates are only fair to midding when they should be iirst-cIass. X few are noted for surpassing attainments in particular lines, but the large ma jority do not come up to the proper standard of pyoiciency,-Times-Demo- cr4t.
 The above, ffom the Times- Demo- crat, is too true. How many in our recollection wto came home with the eoveted sheepskin in taer pockets have taken the place that they should be entitled to if the wording on the diploma were true? But few. They are taught the theory, but not the practical application, and in the end more harm is done than good. They simply recognize the sheepskin as a badge to distinguish them from the uneducated masses. "A little learning is dangerous thing" land the majority of graduates are armed with this piece of dynamite, to be exploded to their destyuctlon at the very first move they male in tte battle of life.

-------~----=--- - ---~---=----- Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an ihilamed condi- tion ol the mucous lining of the Eusta- chian tube. When this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the in tiammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition hear ing will be destroyed forever. Nine gases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condi- ttOn of the mucous surfaces.
