Prof. Luse has dismissed his school
for the holidays.
Messrs. E. c. and E. g. Wiesner,
who are attending the Portland
university, are expected home for a
weeks holiday visit.
The storm here seems not to have
been so severe as in some neighbor-

so much shelter and care that the
farmers will be glad to see the ground
bare again.

the way of travelling about, there is
the usual number of social events
booked for holiday week, and those
who wish to attend oyster suppers,
dancing or play parties may choose
either of these or all, as the case
may be.
Considering the snow and rain
there was a large number out to

The program was well rendered in
every particular aud among many
others worthy of special notice, was
the recitation of w. Stevens entitled
my Dear Little Wife," and also
the performing Of an exercise and
part cong by ten young ladies, "The
Wise and the Foolish Virgins"
The ladies particularly, and all who
assisted in the management of this
affair, deserve praise for making it
what IL was, a success.

Deafness Can't be Cured.

by local application, AS they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tiopal remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets infiam-
ed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit, aud unless the inflammation can
be taken out and the tube restored
to its normal condition, bearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which

CLEVELAND OBJECTS.
Does Not Consider One Murphy Fit
for Senator.

New YORK, Dec. 2S.-The Times
prints today an interview with
Presdent-elect Cleveland AS to his
favorite candidate for United States
senator to succeed Hlscock. The
president-elect' is quoted as saying:
"It must not be forgotten that the
party has a very hard task to per-
form If we expect to keep the word
we have have passed to the people
of the country. They have given
us a phenomenal majority, one
showing that they expect us to do
much. In doing this great deal
depends on the state of New York
and its great metropolis. The inter
ests of the state and the party de-
mand, II seems to me, the selection
of a senator who can not only defend
the principles of our party, but who
can originate and promote policies
that may be presented for consider
alton In the senate. In order to in
sure this, the senator from New
York should be a man not on y ex.
perienced in public affairs, but who
has clear conception Of the vital in
terests with which we must deal
during the next few years. Speak
ing frankly, II does not seem to me
that the selection of Mr.. Murphy
shows desire or intention of placing
In the senate man of such type
This first use of our power would
cause much disappointment, not
only in NewYork but in the country.
This the party ought not to be called
upon to face

A PERILoUs VOYAGE.
Steamer Breaks Down in Mid
Ocaan-ToWed 400 Miles.


QUEENsTowN, Dec. .28-The steam
er Noordland arrived yesterday
with broken shaft. The voyage
of the Noordland was tempestuous
almost from the hour of leaving
Sandy Hook, Winds blew almost
a hurricane, and the ship had much
difficulty In making her way
through the waves. Some of the
passengers were so apprehensive of
danger that they could not be iu-
duced to retire at night. Waves
tossed their icy foam on the decks
until the lower rigging itself was
like skating pond. The Noord-
,and labored along successfully un-
II Thursday evening. 1t was
otter cold night and the passen-
gers were congratulating them
selves on gradually nearing the end
OF their stormy voyage. AT 9:2O IN
the evening, tremendous crash
was heard and the vessel quivered
from end to end. Passengers who
were sitting up were tossed about
like nine pins. Three terrible blows
resounded one after another, as if
the vessel was being struck by
gigantic hammer, which indeed
was the fact. The fright of some
people was pitiful to behold. They
rushed hither and tbither. The
engines raced furlously while
the broken shaft seemed about
to crush the ship at every con-
cussion. Water rushed into the
tube, menacing the stockhold and
engine rooms, and the panic stricken
passengers thought the vessel was
about to sink. Several minutes
elapsed before word was given for
the engines to stop. The Noordland
lay helpless, tossed by the gale, and
as the water rushed in, there seemed
imminent danger of sinking.
Pumps were manned and put to
work, every man of the crew being
to duty. For "a hours
the pumps were kept
at work and water prevented from
gaining on the vessel. At the time
of the accident. the Noordland was
400 miles west of Queenstown. The
crippled steamer was sighted by the
steamship Ohio, which left Phila-
delphia on the same day that the
Noordland left New York, and the
needed assistance was at once rem
dered. The voyage to Queenstown
in tow, was attended by much
and the continuous
stormy weather made 1t necessary
to navigate with caution, but the
No0rdland arrived without further
accident.

Female Weakness,

The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-07-27

as has been shown upon this floor by
members Of congreSs-it comes, say,
with bad grace from those who have
speculated upon the misfortunes Of the
people, and who are now specializing
upon the misfortunes OF the people, TO
say that II we give back to the country
it's stolen silver somebody will make
something by It. It is the expedient Of
men who are conscious of being In the
wrong, of men who have been guilty,
Willingly or unwittingly, of a great ma.
tional crime. The people will profit by
RECOMMENDATION.
Now, Mr.. Speaker, resumption was an
other step in the great scheme which In
cluded the demonstration of silver. The
resumption act was one Of the trinity of
infamies fastened upon the American
people by that diabollcal plot. What
was the plea for that sctH It was that
we should pay our honest debts, that we
should pay the debtcreated by the green
back. This was the plea Of the Repub-
llcan party all over the country; that the
government ought to pay its honest
debts. I wish to show right here and
now the hypocrisy of that declaration.
say that the resumption act was not
passed for the purpose Of paying our
honest debts, but for the purpose OF in
creasing the bonded debt of the country.
You know, in the first place, there was
the promise of a slight initiation, that the
greenbacks should be withdrawn down
to $780, 100000 under the resumption act,
and for every $50 of greenbacks with
drawn there should be an issue of 800
of bank notes, so that there would be
little elasticity" given to the currency,
q slight imitation; and yet everyone knows
that under the operation of the two acts,
of June 20, 1874, and the resumption act
Of January IA, 1875, the currency has
been greatly decreased, both national
bank and legal-tender, 30 that to-day we
have about $1OO,OOO,OOO less than when
the resumption act was passed.
But let me show that the design was
not to pay our honest debts. Why did
the government sell its surplus gold
coin? From July 1, 1867, to September
80, 1875, the government sold $592,OOO,-
600. After having met all its coin obli-
cations it sold in the markets Of this
country and In Europe $599, 100000. That
was more than was necessary to pay off
every dollar Of our greenbacks IN gold
without issuing q bond. This is the rec
ord furnished by the secretary Of the
treasury himself, that this government
sold between the LIST of June, 1857, and
the Both of September, 1875, $522, 2,OOO, 900
in gold. The resumption act was pissed
January IA, 1875, and yet this record
shows that after the passage OF that act
there was sold at public auction over
$4O,OOO,OOO of gold, and then the treas
ury Immediately turned around, and un-
der the resumption act, sold bonds to
buy that gold back again. Laughter
and applause.
In whose interest was that, pray tell
met Now, why did not the government
take that $522,OOO,OOO-&nd 1t accumu-
lated as high as $77,OOO,OOO in one year,
In another, $76OOO,OOO-why did not the
government take that coin and pay off
the greenbacksH When you had both
branches Of congress and the executive,
whv did Won not mass law saving that
