TO CURE NERVOUS HEADACHE.

You know what means nervous
head ache and night of agony unless
something is done quickly.
Try this: Slip off your bodice and
bare your neck. Twist your hair into
loose knot on the top of your head.
Then take sponge and basin of hot
water-just as hot as you can bear
it.
Pass the hot wet sponge slowly and
stea lily over the face and forward for
eight or ten minutes, keeping the
sponge as hot as it can be borne. By
that time your face will look and feel
as if it were parboiled. But don't
worry.
Then bathe the back OF the neck as
you have done the face, carrying the
sponge each time we'll up the back of
the head.
Keep this up tor the same length OF
time then, without looking at yourself
in the glass, because that would be sure
to disquiet you, dry your face and
neck softly and go and lie down fiat on
your back.
Close your eyes and think OF this
one thing, How heavy you are on the
couch and how easily it supports you
That is really an important part Of
the cure.
Lie there for half an hour, if you
don't fall asleep, as you probably will.
Then get up and take the deferred look
in the glass.
The tired look has gone; the muscles
have regained their tone the wrinkles
have disappeared. You look like
your younger sister. Best of all, the
darting pain in the head and the pes
simism of the soul have gone too.-

THE SPREAD OF ENGLISH.
Indications that Il Will BE the Great
Language of the Future.

The only foreign language learned by
that most exclusive Of all races, the
Chinese, is sort OF cxrrent English
pidgin, or business, English, as it is
called. But missionaries have done
not little in China, and much elsewhere
to spread our language, an, there are
few important nations in the world from
which there are not some converts to
Christianity who can speak it.
Yet this Is not the agency which has
done, and will do, the most to make
English the universal speech. This
agency is, OF course, colonization, and
the agents are English aking colo
nists.
In 100 years the United States will
probably have as many inhabitants as
China, and it is not likely that Canada,
Australia, New ZEALAND, and the Cape
will fall much short of half their total,
especially If England be reckoned with
them.
. Some have, indeed, been found to
maintain that English will not be the
language OF the whole even OF the
United States, while others point to
the vigorous vitality of the French
spoken by the French Canadians, and
the reCrudescence of Welsh in the
British Islands, as hints that the Ian
guages die hard. But it is impossible
to suppose that such considerations
CAP dfsct the man question.
Professor Vambery, a Hungarian,
published his autobiography first in an
English dress the Dutch author OF the
"Sln of Jost Aveling" wrote his novel
Gan Old Maid" in English, and the
author of 'The Crustacea Of Norway"
himself presumably Norwegian,
frankly owns in his advertisement that,
to obtain the largest possible circulation
for his book, it will be written in the
English language.

THERE is probably no man in the
United States who understands the pol
itics of New York better than Hon.
Amos j. Cummings, of the New York
Sun, who has for years represented q
downtown district of New York city in
congress. He knows the state from A
to lizard, and his conversance with all
the dips, spurs and angles of the city in
which he has lived 30 long is something
out of the common. In a recent letter
Mr.. Cummings says that the prospects
for Cleveland are ss bright this year as
in 1SS4-brighter, in fact, because he
thinks that the Democratic nominee
will carry the Empire state by 25,000,
while he only carried it by about HOO in
1884. This experienced politician places
the Democratic majority in New York
city at 70, 900. and in Kings county at
from 5000 to 10000. 1t must be re-
membered that Flower carried New York
by upwards of $4,000. If Mr.. Cum
mings possesses this year his ordinary
luck in forecasting political events. we
ought to approach Flowers figures.
The Republicans cannot possibly come
down to Harlem bridge with more than
80, 900 majority. and if they are met
there by from $1,000 to $4,000 a very
simple sum in substraction will give the
result. There is no rain bow chasing in
these speculations.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-10-24

THE Democracy will be helped in
San Francisco this fall not only by the
Non -Partizan movement, which has en-
dorsed q large portion of the Democratic
legislative ticket, but by bitter fight
between two influential factions of the
Republican party. Col. Dan Burns and
his friends are bitter and uncompromis-
ing in their hostility to Crimmins and
Kelly. The colonel owns the Wasp, and
that lively pictorial hebdomadal is do
ing veoman's service in downing the
bosses and their satellites. This means
a great deal. A leading element in the
struggle around the bay is the fear Re-
publicans have that, by some hocus
pocus, Mr.. M. H. De Young, of the
Chronicle, might possibly be elected to
the United States senate. The very
idea of such a possibility will lead
multitudes to vote the Democratic ticket
in local matters. The quite apparent
understanding between De Young and
Crimmins and Kelly intensifies this
feeling. The Republican sees no refuge
but in boiling his party. The Non
Partizans and Democrats will necessa
rily benefit by this sentiment. Already
the Republicans have no reserve in con
ceding the city to Cleveland, the only
question being as to the majority. 81
that, locally and nationally, the situa
ton could not we'll be better.

THERE is downright CONSERVATION in
the Republican camp, and it radiates
from Republican headquarters in the
city of New York. There is an absolute
lack OF response from the masses to the
keynotes OF the Harrison campaign.
Melancholy as this state of affairs is, the
men who are at the head of the Repub-
lican line of battle do not ignore the
real situation. Their sole reliance is on
"boodle," and their appeals have been
answered by the protected interests in a
lavish manner. But the leaders of the
New York Democracy are on the alert,
and will foil this corrupt plan of cam
paign. From every point comes the in
telligence that the Harrison cause needs
buttressing to give it any semblance of
vitality. "Help me, Cassius, or sink, %

beaten Blaine with his ofice-holders'

THE NEW ELECTION LAW

There will necessarily be more or less
difficulty in voting under the new sys-
tenn, but if the electors will make care
full study of an article on the subject we
publish elsewhere, they will find their
duties 80 simplified that they can hardly
make a mistake. The late decision of
the supreme court decided that there
shall be no party headings on the bal
lots, and therefore the difficulty of vot-
ing straight ticket is increased; but if
the elector will remember that there
must be stamped GLOSS after the name
of each candidate he desires to vote for,
he will not 60 astray. The only excep-
ton to this rule will be in voting for the
presidential electors, who may be
stamped as as group. We would ad.
wise every elector to cut the ar
ticle out and study its ex-
plantations carefully. AS an ex-
pertinent, the Australian ballot law will
be found incongruous and intricate in
many of it's provisions. But we shall
learn in this election where it is faulty,
and improve it by amendment at the
next session of the legislature. 1t
ought to prove on trial to possess the
one great desideratum of an American
election law, and that is to secure se-
crecy to the elector as regards to his
vote. If it do this, it will be one of the
most acceptable statutes the people
could have, for it will put an end to the
use of money in purchasing votes. No
interest, corporation or individual will

ANOTHER unfortunate victim OF the
explosion Friday night, died yesterday.
The deceased, Mr.. Bunker, leaves a
wife and seven children. 1t will be in

features of this calamity. Seven deaths
have already gone to the account OF an
accident which must have been the re.
suit of criminal careleseness. The in.

The time was when the Republica n
newspapers of this state were almost
unanimously favorable to an educational
test at the ballot box. Frank Soule,
Wash Wright, Calvin B. Mcdonald, Ben

in the earlier age OF that party, advo-
Gated it warmly and strenuously. Now

CAPTAIN H. D. BoRUP. Paul, military at
tache of the American legation at Paris,
the case begins to wear a serious aspect.
The first record we find is that Henry
D. Borup was graduated from West
Point in 1915, being then twenty-five
years old. He was commissioned second
lieutenant in the ordnance department.
and on Sept. 10, 1879, was promoted to a
first ieutenancy. After some service in
Texas he was transferred to Boston,
where he did the work Of a captain with
such ability as to receive special men
ton in the report Of the adjutant general
of the United States. He then went to
Europe on semimilitary tour, and
while there was appointed attache to
the American legation in Paris. This
was in the closing days of the Cleveland
administration.
In Paris he followed the usual custom
Of acquiring all possible information
about the military arrangements, and in
few instances is said to have paid for
documents which he must have known
to be stolen. AS this is the custom lit
tie is thought Of it, but the French Off
Gals now declare that Captain Borup has
sold his information to Germany. This
he Indignantly denies, and there is rea-
son on his side, for undoubtedly there
are spies in the French department, and
the same man who sold the information
to Captain Borup would be likely to sell
it to the Germans if he got his price.
In st. Paul the Borup family stands
very high and the people are enthusi-
astic in defense of the captain. Abroad
opinion is divided. The English say
that Captain Borup had a right to get
all the information he could. English
journals are rather severe on the Amer
lean minister at Paris, T. Jefferson
Coolidge, for his ready compliance with
French denunciations of Captain Borup.
Of course the French would rather con-
denim tbs captain than admit the treason
of one Of their clerks.

were prepared especially for the negroes.
This fight, which was a legal one, was
made possible by the liberal contrlbu.
tio,as which he made before asking fol-
aid from the more wealthy negroes in
the north and east.
Recently there have been several
meetings Of negroes in Topeka, Guthrie
and Little Rock for the purpose OF
formulating plans that would not only
aid wholesale immigration, but at the
same time protect those who did not
want to leave their old homes in the
south. Finally the plans were perfected
at Guthrie, the home of McCabe, and
the movement has been started that bids
fair to exceed in magnitude anything
that has yet been inaugurated. The de.
tails have not yet been given out, but
enough has been learned to know that
in addition to finding homes for those
who wish to go to Oklahoma the courts
will be asked to protect those who re-
main in the southern states, and if that
is not done then semimilitary organ.
ization is to undertake the work, thus
forcing interference by the United
States government.
McCabe is ambitious and has his mind
made up to go to the United States
senate whenever Oklahoma is admitted
as a state In addition to his philan.
thropic views he always keeps in sight
the advisability Of holding the balance
Of power in the territory by means OF
the negr,, .-nec. which he now holds and
controls. ne present year will close
with at least 10000 more negro voters
in Oklahoma, brought there through
the fundamentally of McCabe, who is
regarded as the Moses of this people.
The first legislature, after the territory
is admitted as state, he says, will be
of such complexion as he wishes, and
the party in power at that time will be
under pledges to make him senator.
This negro leader is one-fourth black
and well educated. He was born and
educated in Rhode Island. Heis shrewd
in his dealings with both whites and
blacks, is always aggressive, but never
obnoxiously so. He does not seek the
society of whites, nor does he make him,
self familiar with the blacks. While he
feels Inundated over his social standing
on account Of his black blood, he &C.
cepts the verdict rendered by the white
race and counts his white blood as moth
ing. He has one child. a girl, whom he
will educate in France.
His Office in Guthrie is the most ele
CANT in that pretentious city. he keeps
three clerks, all white, one man and two
lady stenographers. His correspondence
is immense in volume, and nearly all re.
lates to the advancement of his race.

Especial Correspondence
TOPEKA, Kan, July 1.-The organi-
cation of a colonization and protection
association by the Afro-Americans once
more brings into prominence Edwin p.
McCabe, who was at one time auditor Of
the state of Kansas, the only negro who
ever held official position in any state in
the west. He has been for two years at
the head of a colonization society in Ok
lahoma, and has succeeded in securing
homes for several thousand southern ne
groes in that territory. Three years ago
he founded the town of Langston, which
differed from other towns in that it was
to have no white population. The sale
of lots was conducted through McCabe's
agents, who were preachers among the
negroes in the southern states. He sue
ceeded in disposing of 1,700 lots within
the short time of two years at prices
ranging from ten to fifty dollars, and in
gathering in his town over 700 negroes.
Establishing the Langston Herald,
weekly paper, he soon had circulation
of more than 5000, and was thus ena-
bled to reach the people in the south for
whom he was working.
Always urging that no negroes should
go to Oklahoma unless provided with
enough capital to keep them at least one
year, he has succeeded in gathering the
most intelligent and the most p fident.
and now boasts that his people are the
most prosperous in that territory. He
has led in the war against the "Jim
