The IxrELLraENcER is asked how and
where Mr.. cCorkle, democratic nomi-
nee for governor, got his titleot colonel
There is an impression that he got it
in the Confederate army. Mr.. Mac
Corkle was too young to go into the
war. His fighting qualities have been
developed since.
Our impression is that he got his title
OF colonel from the assault he made on
United States Marshal White in defense
of the memory OF Mr.. Jefferson Davis.
That disgraceiul affair happened in the
Hotel Ruaner, in Charleston, 1889.
The carefully prepared account of the
occurrence, published at the time in
the IErKL1IaENcER, is republished to-
day for ready reference. Colonel L. B.
Dellicker, OF Parkersburg, clerk OF
Judge Jackson'B court, who is familiar
with the circumstances, will verify the
INrELlldENcER's report word for word.
1t is not creditable chapter in Mr..
MacCorkie's history, but he made it
himself and has never challenged the
accuracy of the description Of the cpl
sode as it appeared in the INrELLlGEN-
GER.
II there had been square fight be-
tween two men at all evenly matched
physically, if the big and powerful man
had given the small and weak man any
warning of his intention to strike, if
the assault had been made in the heat
of the moment, if there had been any
real provocation, something might be
said in Mr.. MacCorkle's behalf.
So far as the INrELLIGENoER knows
nothing of that sort has ever been said.
Mr.. MacCorkle's friends seems to have
thought "the least said the soonest
mended."

James Robinson, the athletic trainer
at Princeton College, Princeton, n. j.
says:

case OF cuts, bruises, strains, sprains,
cold, rheumatism, etc. Shortly after
entering upon my profession, discov'
cred such remedy in ALLcocE's Porous

found them too harsh and irritating.
ALLcocE's PoRoUs PLAsTERs give almost
ms antaueous relief, and their strength.
ening power is remarkable. In cases Of
weak back put two plasters on the small
of the back, and in a short time you will
be capable OF quite severe exercise. In
sprint" and distance" races and
jumping, the muscles or tendons in the
legs and feet sometimes weaken. This
can invariably be relieved by cutting
the plaster in narrow strips, so as to
give free motion, and applying on mus
cles affected"

cratic speakers on the tariff are in err
ror as to the effects Of the Mckinley
bill" So with the Democratic speakers
and newspapers that follow the erro-
neous lead. They are all in the same
bad box.
What object but the discharge of a
public duty could this Democratic
statistician have had in issuing a report
that knocks the wind out of his party ?
1t isn't his fault if his party has set up
a theory that cannot stand against the
cold facts.
The commissioner may be dismissed,
but the facts cannot DO. Hence the
modification and the rage.

The Democrats are making killing
point on Commissioner Peck because
his report shows SO much more for pro-
lection than is shown by the report OF
the senate committee. Republicans
can stand this criticism, but it is in
place to remark amid the Republican
hilarity that Commissioner Peck's re-
port deals with the great manufacturing
state of New York alone. The senate
report dealt with the country and with
fewer industries.

IT is not the habit OF statisticians to
give out the names OF establishments
and the inside facts relating to their
business. If they were to do this they
would get few facts OF value to work on.
Because Commissioner Peck does not
break faith and the rule Of his profes-
sion he is hoped on by the maddened
free traders. If his report had come
their way they would have praised Mr..
Peck as great and good man.

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
emalkable ContIsst in the Eject Of 7wo
Poisons on the COMPLEXION.


The slow absorption ofmany poisons
changes in some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic and
ammonia show their effect about as
quickly as any. The popular belief
that arsenic clears the complexion has
led many women to kill themselves
with it in small continued doses.
1t produces waxy, ivory-like APP
pearance of the skin during certain
stage of the poisoning, but it's terrible
after effects have become too well
known to make it of common use as a
cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly the opposite
to that of arsenic. The first symptom
of ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work in ammonia
factories is discoloration of the skin
of the nose and forehead. This gradu-
ally extends over the face until the com
pleXion has stained. blotched and I'M
slightly appearance. With people
who take ammonia into their systems
in smaller doses, as with their water
or food, these striking symptoms do
not appear so soon. The only effect of
the poison that is visible for time is
a general unwholesomeness and sal
lowness of the complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing
ammonia poison without knowing it.
The use o. ammonia in the manu-
features has greatly increased of late,
and it is unquestionably used as an
adulterant in certail food prepara-
tions. Official analysis have plainly
shown it's use even in such cheap arti-
cles Of daily consumption as baking
powders. The continued absorption
of ammonia in even minute quantities
as an adulterant in TODD injurious
not merely from it's effect upon the
complexion, but because it destroys
the coating of the stomach and causes
dyspepsia and kindred evils.
Professor Long of hicsgo, is author
ity for the statement that, if to fifty
million parts of water there is one
part of ammonia, the water is dam
gerOuS.

important Railway Decision

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 29.-Judge
Alien, in the United States court to-
day, sustained the demurrer to the in
dictments against Milton Knight,
general freight agent OF the Wabash
railroad, and j. M. b. Kohler of st.
Louis, doing business under the name
of Kohler Bros, for violation of the
interstate commerce act by cutting
rates on shipments of floor from East
st Louis to Montreal. The court held
that congress had 10 power to make
any law regulating railroad rates be-
tween the United States and points OF
foreign countries. The decision is a
very important one and far reaching,
covering as it does the entire COM
MERGE between the United States and
adjacent foreign countries. This de-
cision ends the matter as far as
Knight and Kohler are concerned,
the Indictment being quashed by this
decision.

GALVESTON, Tex, Feb. 20.-This'
morning Henry Burkhardt, q colored
employe of the Galveston Western
railway, in attempting to board rap
idly moving train on that road, was
hurled beneath the cars. Two sells of
trucks passed over his right leg, strip
ping the flesh from the bones below
the knee and crushing the ankle, be-
sides fracturing his right arm and
shoulder. His leg was amputated, but
it is believed his injuries will prove
fatal.
