NO THIRD PARTY.

The Farmers Alliance of Ohio decid-
ed on polite course when at Columbus
last week, it voted against third State
ticket. True, the vote, 64 to 63, was
close, but the margin was against plan
certainly inimical to the interests of
farmers at large. By this action the
farmers of Ohio have refused to ally
themselves with the Kansas aggregation
of repudiationists. The Ohio farmers
believe in paying all justly contracted
debts. To pay good money loan in
bad money is just as base as to repudiate,
yet both of these plans were cheered at
the Cincinnati Convention. The farmers
have as much right to organize for any
laudable purpose as any other class of
men, and such organization denotes a
spirit of progress in agricultural com
munities, but when they oyerstep this
line and array themselves as class
against all other classes, they transgress
on brotherly equity and justice. The
general position of our farmer denotes
fair and broad mindedness. By organ
ization and discussion the farmers can
secure unity of purpose, and knowing
what they want, anything sound and
reasonable will be granted by the Re
publican party. To the soft money re-
quotations doctrine of the Cincinnati
Convention, we are unalterably opposed.
Also, as opposed to such teachings, we
construe the action of the Ohio Alliance

late John McNary, of our own county,

Word has also arrived that Mrs. May
Holiday, wife of the Rev. I. E. Holiday,

CHEATING at cards in England is a
great crime. Colonel Sir William Cor
don Cumming is now on trial for that
offense, and all Britain is excited over
the scandal. The Prince of Wales is
one of the leading witnesses, and comes
in as a party in the case in that His
Royal Highness held the stakes. The
Prince himself frequently turns an hon.
est penny at friendly game with a
crowd of gentlemen" Cards were in
vented to amuse an insane king, and il
would appear that they are likely tc
subserve their primary purpose again
The Prince may not have enough sense
to go in doors when it rains, but he
knows enough to be rather an expert
gambler.

LITTLE THINGS THAT TELL

1t is the little things that tell-little
brothers for instance, who hid away il
parlor while sister entertains her beau
etc DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are lit
tie things; they tell on the liver and tone
up the system; so small and yet so effec
tual, they are rapidly supplanting the ole
style pill; an infallible remedy for sick
or bilious headaches, biGousness and con
stipation; put up in vials, convenient tC
carry; their use attended with no dis
comfort.

THERE is need for a careful and
searching study of the tax amendment
to be voted on this fall. Our taxation
system is abominable. This, all admit,
and if the amendment proposed is for
the bettering of the system, it should
receive the undivided support of all
parties. Any amendment looking to
the taxation of corporate franchises
will be fought by such corporations, all
of whom can WELD an immense power,
hence the need of thoroughly under
standing the subject and of unity of
action is apparent.

HANDSOMEsT OF ALL COINS.

This proud distinction is generally con-
ceded to the United States twenty dollar
gold piece, a marvel of beauty in design
and finish; the loveliest of Gods handi-
work is handsome woman, if in the
bloom of health; if she is not, DR.. Pierce's
Pavorite Prescription will restore her:
ladies who use this peerless remedy are
unanimous in It's praise, for it cures those
countless ills which are the bane of their
sex-irregularities, dragging down pains,
Inflammation, hysteria, sleeplessness and
the "all-gone" d" sensations which burden
their daily lives; tonic and vervine

The Presbyterian e ,aneraI Assamblv
by the oVerwhelm'. .ng vote of 425 to 64
decided againS the appointment of Prof.
Briggs to .. chair in Union Theological
Seminary. The Church has a perfect
right to take such action. Prof Briggs
views do not accord with the old estab-
lished creed of the Church, and it is not
right that he should teach at a school
pledged to that creed. But to the secu-
lar mind it will seem that the Church
will suffer more than will DR.. Briggs
He is a man of broad and reverent schol-
arship, of keen intellect and spotless
life. He is on the side of right and
God. The Church has too strong al
enemy in the devil to turn against such
characters as DR.. Briggs. 1t cannot af
ford to make an enemy likewise of con
secrated learning and high-minded lib
eralism. The general verdict of thu
outside world is that while the Church
from its own standpoint is justified il
its action, yet from the higher plane o.
simpler and broader religion, it ha
done an injury both to itself and tn
general cause of Christianity.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The Dubuque Qowa) Telegraph says:
The adjourning of the Impeachment court
last Saturday on account of Gen. Weaver s
belly ache, cost the people of this COM
monwealth nearly $500; one dose of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhea Remedy would have saved this ex-
pense, and we suggest as a matter of
economy and humanity, that the state
provide against future contingencies of
this nature, by furnishing each senator
with bottle of that valuable remedy.

ARE you troubled with corns or bun
ions? If so, let us give you little advice:
Pare them down as closely as possible
without drawing blood; then soak them
in warm water to soften them, and apply
Chamberlain's Pain Balm twice daily,
rubbing them vigorously for few min
utes at each application; a corn plaster
should be worn for few days to protect
them from the shoe; as a general liniment
for sprains, bruises, lame back or rheu-
matism, Pain Balm is all that can be de-
sired; SOC bottles for sale by Patterson &

FROM present indications it would
seem that orthodoxy in several churches
is in danger of explosion. The Presby-
terian church has rebuked DR.. Briggs
heresy, but the end of the matter is not
yet; the Baptist church finds the views
on inspiration of Professor Harper, of
Yale, an eminent theologian and one
of the most scholarly men in the church,
to be sadly out of chime with hard
shellism; the Episcopal church intends
bringing to task DR.. Heber B. Newton,
because he declares that all creeds are
human; the Reformed Presbyterians
now in session at Pittsburgh, have on
trial five of their ministers on charge of
heresy, because they refused to abide
by the covenant made against King
James, while Lyman Abbott has
become too liberal in his views
for Plymouth Congregational church.
1t being the case that the brightest mr r
and leaders in the churches are the ono,
charged, it would seem prob ola that
heresy will soon become orr ,odoxv
