Carpenter, of Goodland, Indiana, says of
it: {" tried Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy for diarrGa and
severe cramps, and pains in the stomach
and bowels, with the best results; in the
worst cases never had to give more than
the third dose to effect a cure; in most
cases one dose will do; besides its other
good qualities, it is pleasant to take. %

THROUGH THE WEARY HOURS
Of many night, made dOubly long by its
protracted agony, the rheumatic sufferer
losses to and fro ON his sleepless couch,
vainly praying for that rest which only
comes by fits and starts; his malady is
one which ordinary medicines too often
fail to relieve, but there is ample evidence
to prove that the efficient blood depurent,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, affords the
rheumatic a reliable means of relief;
check the maladyIin its inclpient stages,
when the first premonitory tW inges come
on, with this agreeable medicine, and
avoid years of torture; whatever be the
rationale of the active influence of the
Bitters upon this malady, certain it is
that no evidence relating to its effect is
more direct or positive than that which
treaties to its action in case of rheuma-
ism; like all sterling remedies, however,
it deserves a protracted, systematic trial,
and should not be abandoned because
not at once remedial; it is equally eflica
cious in dyspepsia, Indigestion and kin

Gold Shipments.

On Friday morning we had an editorial
concerning the expected attempts of the
monometallists in New York city TO get up
. panic on the strength of the continued
shipments of gold to England. On Friday
IN Wall street the forecast made in that
article was proved TO be true. The pes
simists, so our kilograms informed us, had
possession Of Wall street that day. The
optimists were invisible and silent. Never
theless, let us mention it as good sign
that silver sold up 10 1Ol, which was an
encouraging price. and higher than the
price of the white metal ranged for months
before June. This price was maintained in
the face of the shipment 10 Europe on Fri
day Of four or FIVE millions of dollars Of
gold--not large sum, but spoken Of as if
II had been twenty millions.
Why should Wall street tremble because
few millions of dollars Of gold are drawn
from this country by European spectators
or European businessmen Nobody would
object 10 sending ten millions of dollars
worth of tobacco orscotton TO Europe.
People would take it for granted that those
articles had gone where they were most
needed. Why not apply the same reason
ing in the case Of gold? As nobody ships
cotton to Europe Just for 1.-THE fun of the
thing" 30 nobody ought TO ship gold to
Europe except for good reasons.
The facts show that there is difference
between gold and silver and cotton or to-
bacco. The precious metals are something
more than commodities. The spectators
in money seem TO have il in their power TO
"oorner" gold more easily than they can
"corner" cotton. 1t would seem that the
very reverse ought 10 be the case.
Anyhow. wo repeat our advice of Friday
20 all concerned. There is no good reason
existing ut present for panic in the money
market. Silver Is selling at a good
price. There Is as much gold in this
country as we need here; or, il
We need few millions more Of the yellow
metal. We have hundreds Of millions Of
dollars worth Of securities which are
worth their face value In gold In London.
Why. these many hundreds Of millions OF
dollars worth Of United States bonds
could be- sent to England and would
sshers command in gold their face

prsed his congregation Sunday morning
by making some very plain remarks con-
corning the Rev. Henry WARD BEEcHEH'
He considered Mr.. BEEcHEB as teacher
and practically stated that his pulpit
utterances during the latter part OF MS
life were productive of more harm than
good"
Dir. Drxox declared that at times as he
had been told, Mr.. BEEcHER was not re-
spopsible for what he said. The eonciu-
sion of the congregation was that BEECH
IRIS mind must have become unsettled by
the great trial to which he was one OF the
parties, though Mr.. DIXON rather attri-
huted il TO the fact that Mr.. BEEcHEE
studied contemporaneous literature more

How strong IL habit We have been in

But there Is another element in our popu-
lation that must be considered when we
enter into calculations or make speculative
guesses as to what is 10 be the next move
upon the financial chess-board. There are
good many people in this country who
are tired OF playing second fiddle to Wall
street, and thus enabling Wall street to
play second fiddle to London. This dis
satisfied class Of our population would just
as lief precipitate panic IA not They
are shrewd enough TO know that for bust
ness 10 fall TO silver basis would
be TO cause the prices OF all com
modities 10 rise nominally. Flour would
jump from SIX dollars 10 eight or nine per
barrel, and tobacco and cotton and all
other commodities would follow suit. In
other words. the new standard of value
would set the whole community 10 specu-
lating. The most wonderful activity would
prevail. The laboring classes would be the
losers. Men living upon salaries would
find their resources reduced by one fourth
or one third or one half. Nevertheless,
things would soon readjust themselves to
the new condition of our finances Wall
street would be frightened to death in the
meantime. This that wo have just de
picted is the worst that could befall the
country. But there is no necessity for
such condition TO be brought about. Let
the Wall-street spectators beware. The
people are watching them.

The street-cars on Sunday afternoon
were again overwhelmed" The trouble
was not how to get patronage for them but
how to get rid of it.
1t was a warm day and the people wish
ed to go to the parks and especially to the
New-Reservoir park. II is safe to say that
not one half of those who desired TO go
made the attempt. 1t is equally certain
that third of those who ventured forth
turned back in dismay when they saw how
crowded the cars were. And we are posi-
tive that not few who wedged themselves
into cars heartily repented so doing.
The only remedy we see for all this an
noyance 10 the public and to the COM
pany is to put on a number of special ears
TO run from the reservoir to Fourth or
Fifth street; but if the company know
better plan we hope that they will proceed
TO put it into operation at once.
