Thin PRETENSES.

The Transparent Coat of Whitewask
Which Quay Has Given Himself.
The real, acknowledged head of the
cepublican party is Matthew Stanley
quay, United States senator from Penn
,ylvania. He managed the Harrison
iampaign in 1883, and managed it so
well that he steered the little man from
indianapolis into the presidential chair.
How he did it is now unnecessary to re-
fer to. He was set up in consequence of
ais victory as the manager, par excel
Ience. of his party and as the only one
worthy to conduct the next presidential
campaign. Since that victory, Mr..
Quay has been called upon to explain
certain charges, which were of very
serious nature. If these charges were
true, Mr.. Quay should now be occupy
ing cell in state prison, rather than
seat in the senate. The charges were
put forward ia the most definite form
in the columns of newspapers, which
invited, nay, urged, the accused head of
the republican party to sue them for
libel, in case the charges should not
prove true. Republican leaders in his
own state called upon Mr.. Quay to
make some answer to these terrible
charges. a state election took place
The Louisiana Democrat., 1891-03-18

and Mr., Quay's candidate was beaten,
a strong argument being that the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania could not accept q
candidate from polluted hands. The
election in Mr.. Quay's own state went
without word from him, as to whether
he was worthy to sit in the United
States senate, or whether he should
join the confraternity in Moyamensing
prison.
Now, at the eleventh hour, this plent;-
fully tattooed and branded head of the
republican party comes out on the floor
of the republican senate, where he knew
perfectly well that there would be no
cross-examination, no pertinent ques-
tions, no objections, with a long string
of glittering generalities, simply for the
purpose of getting personal explanation
in that harmless publication known as
the Congressional Record. He cannot
deceive anybody by this personal appli-
cation of the whitewash brush. He must
take the American people for a parcel
of fools if he thinks that they will pay
any heed to his lame excuses. The time
has long gone by when he might have
spoken with reasonable hope of being
believed AS well might a convict in
state prison, in serving the second or
third year of his sentence, expect cred
ence to his explanation of his crime as
Matthew Stanley Quay at this time.
Better far for this branded chief of the
republican party, had he kept his mouth
shut to the end. He would have at
least earned the respect of political des-
peradoes like himself. He can now de-
ceive nobody, and nobody will read his
lame excuses for his conduct save with
feelings of loathing and aversion. His
explanation may leave him at the head
of his party, but the people will make
short work Of such party and such a
leader, Argus.

De called defense at ALL Confronted
by specific charges of malfeasance in
connection with the Pennsylvania
reasury, Mr.. Quay has changed the
ubject to his whole political career,
nd has entered general denial that
e ever did anything wrong in his po-
tical life. His statement might have
cen appropriately called Matthew
tanley Quay's assertion of his good
pinion of himself from the earliest
mes to the present day.
The only incident in connection with
which he did not claim immaculate and
snowy purity of soul was his associa-
ION with Dudley in the blocks of five
BUSINESS, and that omission was no
loubt an oversight. When Mr.. Quay
breaks silence, it is only to tell the
country that he can see no reason for
lot considering himself a saint and
Martyr. This may seem sufficient from
lis standpoint, but from any other it is
tlmost ludicrous to call it "a defense. !"
1t does not even amount to an apology,
ind is gratifying only as sort of an
acknowledgment of public jurisdiction

COUGHING PIGS.

A Light Dose OF Sulphur and EpsOm
salts the best Remedy.
An old breeder of swine says that
when pigs begin 20 cough they are
usually constipated, and he gives them
a light dose of sulphur. They need not
be physicked, but simply 20 produce a
light, easy, laxative discharge, and this
should be done in good weather. Civ
ing sulphur in wet. damp weather will
only have a tendency TO increase the
cold and cough, as the sulphur opens
the pores in the skin and they easily
take cold when in this condition. II
the bowels are constipated, EPSON
salts may have to be given with the
sulphur, as constipated bowels are
sometimes hard to move, and il left IN
this condition fever sets in, gradually
getting worse and the hog dies Two
tablespoonfuls of Epson salts and .
small tablespoonful Of sulphur should
he a dose sufficient TO remove the OBJ
struction in a bad constipated case.
However. Judgment should be used, rs
the size of the hog and the severity of
the case must be considered The cold
should disappear in few days, and the
bowels kept regular that the cough
may not appear again Powdered

essential to their health and well being
and is great assistant in keeping their
