Something for the New Year.

The world renowned success OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and theil
continued popularity for over third OF
a century as stomachic, is scarcely
more wonderful than the welcome that
greets the annual appearance of Hos
letters Almanac. This valuable medical
treatise is published by the Hostetter
Company, Pittsburgh, Pa, under their
own immediate supervision, employing
60 hands in that department. They are
running II months in the year on this
work, and the issue of same for 1892
will be more than ten millions, printed
in the English, German, French, Welsh,
Norwegian, Swedish, Holland, Bohemian
and Spanish languages. Refer to copy
of it for valuable and interesting reading
concerning health, and numerous testi-
monials as to the efficacy of Hostetter's S
Stomach Bitters, amusement, varied in
formation, astronomical calculations and
chronological items, &c, which can be
depended on for correctness. The Al
manac for 1892 can be obtained free of
cost, from druggists and general country
dealers in all parts of the country. 3-5t

STEADILY GAINING.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
That Independent newspaper, the
Philadelphia Ledger, comedies that ''the
drift in the Republican party towards
the nomination of Secretary Blaine for
the Presidency is steadily gaining
strength" The most serious objection,
OF really the only one, which has been
hinted at in this connection, has been
with reference to the supposed impair
ment of the great Secretary's health.
But there is no doubt that his health is
now fully restored, and there is nothing
in the way of his being made the NOM
inee of the party except his own refusal
to become such.

Is IT EQUAL TO THE TASK?

Is IT EQUAL TO THE TASK!
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
Republican success next year does
not depend so much upon Democratic
blundering as some persons imagine.
There is no doubt, however, that the
overwhelming majority possessed by the
Democrats in the popular branch of con-
gress may become an element of weak
ness in that party, and whatever weak
ems one party increases the chances of
success of the other. A leading Demo
cratic paper outlines the course its party
ought to pursue in congress during the
present session in order to make success
easier next year. 1t must not only press
the issue of tariff reform by attacking
the Mckinley law, but it must so handle
all issues of finance as to prevent the
party from being divided.
Is the party equal to the task sought
to be imposed upon it? Can it cut
down existing dnties to revenue basis
and steer clear of any division upon the
silver question? Has not the bitter
contest for the speakership already
foreshadowed serious differences of
opinion among the party leaders on this
very issue; and would it not be an act
of retrogression, not to say cowardice,
to remain passive on policy to which
three-fifths of the party are unequiyo-
caily committed? The Democratic party
might be willing to make great sacrifices
to regain power might go with an arm
in sling or on crutches, as it were,
pretending that it was in really Grip
pled condition-but it is not likely to
commit political hari kari by chopping
off its own head.
1t is not in the nature of things that
the representatives of the party in Con-
gress will, by common consent, dissem-
BILE on the silver issue 'for campaign
purposes only" There is, no possible
way by which the question can be avoid
ed or evaded without bringing the party
into ridicule and contempt. 1t would
be more manly and possibly less dam

thing, as advised by Hill, than to do

An honest Swede tells his story in
plain but unmistakable language for
the benefit of the public. One of my
children took severe cold and got the
Group. l gave her a teaspoonful of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and in
five minutes later l gave her one more.
BY this time she had to cough up the
gathering in her throat. Then she went
to sleep and slept good for fifteen min
utes. Then she got up and vomited;
then she went back to bed and slept
good the remainder of the night. She
got the Group the second night and l
gave the same remedy with the same
good results. | write this because

PUBLIC OPINION.
ITS TRUE OBJECT.

Cleveland Leader.
Joshua Crawford, the Secretary of the
Ohio Farmers Alliance, believes that
the order was formed, not for the polit.
ical, but for the mental and material
advancement of its members. He has
proposed, as a means of attaining that
end, a course of reading for farmers
founded on the same principles as the
splendid Chautauqua course. He sug-
gests as the first years course the fol
lowing books: "Soils and Crops" "Cre-
alton and Distribution of Wealth" 1.-The
World of Matter" and "The Art of Pre-
pairing Healthful Food" There is much
wisdom in this suggestion, and if the
Ohio farmers will follow it they will find
that they can get vastly more benefit
from books than from politics.

WHY GOVERNOR HILL is A BACHELOR
The Chicago Mail.
A New Yorker, who has been close
friend of Governor-Senator David Ben
nett Hill since the days when they
studied "readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic''
together in the same little red school
house, was in Chicago the other day and
talked rather freely about affairs, politi-
cal and otherwise, in the Empire State
"No," he said, 81 don't think the Baby
Ruth racket is going to boom Cleveland

BILE. And, by the way, do You know
what it was that started Dave Hill down
the devious paths of bachelorhood?
Well, it was neither more nor less than
the same malevolent combination which
started the big Chicago fre-a COW and
a lamp. 1t occurred thuswise: When
Dave was callow youth of twenty or
thereabouts he was desperately in love
with a sixteen-year- village belle,
whose name we will suppose TO have
been Sallie Jones. Sallie herself took
kindly to young David, but Sallie's pa
rents didn't. They favored a more
promising suitor who has fulfilled that
promise and risen to the dignity of |
township constable. Accordingly the
cruel parents handicap was placed on
Dave and Sallie in short order. They
were never permitted to be alone togeth-
er, and what little courting Dave did
was done under the eagle eye of the
girls mother, rheumatic old lady whose
crutch was the household scepter. Dave
was a schemer, however, even in those
lays, so one night when the hated rival
was out of the way and pater- familias
was attending his lodge meeting over
he village grocery store, Dave turned a
,ow into the front yard of his beloved's
lomicile and then dropped in for call.
