vote in the South:
"Caldwell county in Missouri is n

Congressman Dockerry is Demo-

negroes. This is especially true
along the Greek bottoms, and as of

these bottom precincts piled up a
big Republican vote, which some
times cut deeply into the Demo-

itate n rupture between the friends
OF Senator Kenna and ex-senator

The bill will provide the State with

What Is cold in the head. Med.
ical authorities say that it is due to
uneven clothing of the body, rapid
cooling when in a perspiration, &c.
The important point is, that a cold
in the head is an inflammation of the
lining membrane of the nose, which
when unchecked, is certain to pro
duoo a catarrhal condition-for
catarrh is essentially a "cold'' which
nature is no longer able to throw

product of indignation and despair
Indignation at the merciless ex-
actions imposed on the agricultural
interest by the Republican party
and despair that the other great
National party would ever be able
to obtain tho supremacy and right
the wrongs perpetrated by its pow
erful adversary.
That this indignation was origi-
nally well founded is beyond ques.
ton. 1t is doubtful if the all.im
portant industry of agriculture was
ever subjected in any country, ex-
ccpt perhaps in feudal France just
before the Revolution, to so many
crushing burdens as the Republican
party heaped upon it in this.
1t is also beyond question that
the despair of the Democratic party
ever coming into power was also
originally well founded. Those who
organized the Alliance saw nothing
between them and eternal spoliation
but the unaided strength of the
farmer
Since this vista was presented
times have altered. The policy OF
the Republican party has been
changed only to intensity it, and
tho indignation which was Original
~ justified by that policy has now
more Justification than ever. The
relief that party pretonds to give is
merely illusory; the burden has in
reality been griovousIy augmented,
and the hypocrisy which socks to
sugar over the saperadded wrong
is a fresh motive for new detestation.
But on the other side of the picture
there has been a genuine and docid-
cd change, There is no room now
for despair as to Democratic suprem-
acy. The Republican party has
had its day and must go. The ext
gency which called it into existence
is long over. The great party OF the
future in this country is the Demo
cratic party, and-no oppressed popu-
lar interest ever looked to that
party in vain.

Major Mckinley seems to be as
great blunderer in taking stock of
political results as he wasin framing
the great educational object lesson
known as the Mckinley bill. In
debate in the house on Monday he
said, referring 10 the late election:
"You Democrats secured power in
the House of Representatives BY the
suppression Of the votes OF thous-
ands and hundreds OF thousands of
citizens" The Democrats in the
Northern States in November elect
ed l28 Representatives in Congress,
and the Republicans only 81, This
is the way the Democrats secured
power in the peoples branch of
Congress, and but for the admission
of the peterborough States of
Wyoming and Idaho the same clcct-
ion would have given a majority in
tho Senate on the tariff and force
bill issues. Yet Major Mckinley,
denying he was the architect of his
party's ruin, s Us these great results
were achieved by "the rufiianism of
the votes of hundreds of thousands
of citizens. He is as muddlcd as a
man knocked into the middle oi
next week or the next county by a
western cyclone. -PittsJurgh Post.
