able success, only being in bed little over

have been equally as bad as the first but for
the use of this remedy, as had to go to bed
in about six hours after being struck with
it, while in the first case was able to attend
to business about two days before getting

A writer in the Carroll Nens says:
"Snce April IN the year 1S47, from my
statistical report, on recorl, the mercury has
,o! risen so high SO early IN the month OF
April, as it has in this month, which was on
Yesterday, the 4th inst, when 1t rose to 81
degrees in the shade. From 1S47 the ther.
;,nometer di1.pot indicate such elevation UNI
I'll Apsi 1854 April 18TH, 1856, the
indication Is 81 degrees and in several of
rthe past years the same thermometrlcal sud,
den change has been reached. There Is no
record that can find indicating such de-
gree of heat so early as the Bird of this month,
not at least for the past so years
Political. During the past month booms
haYe tctercd up and tctcred down, that is to
say, presidential booms.
Ten day ago it looked very much as though
,Cieveland's boom had started 20 win in the
homestrttch, when along came the great re-
publican victory in Rhode Island, where the
fight on the democratic side was to prove
that Cleveland could carry by his active pres
,ence this tight little republican State. 1t
went democratic in 1889, 1890 ana 1891, but
didn't IN 1899 and now Clcvcland's boom
,sags again. Il Democracy knows what is
good for her, she will grease the toboggan
slide down which said boom is again gliding.
1t does not look quite SO favorable to Pres
ident Harrison either, as it did some days
ago: we hear again of James G. Blaine and
If that party will do what eighty per cent of
its voters want done, it will 60 quietly to
Minneapolis, organize. promulgate It's plat
form and then wait for 3 me one to move to
nominate James G. Blaine by HcClamation :;
that motion would not receive q negative
and James G. B.ainc acM accept such a nom
nation.
IfHarrison aud Cleveland are nominated
twill be "A scrub rice in which there will be
more fun than earnestness with Blaine pit
ted against such man as German it would
he az when Greek meets Greek and then
would come the tug Of war; tor they are the
apostles each of his own partys faith and
doctrines there would be earnestncss zeal
and enthusiasm beyotten OF admiration for
the sturdy and uncompromising democracy
of Gornlan and republicanism OF Blaine
Neither party would have to apologize for
the stupidity, dupliclty or coarsness of eth
or, for they are brilliant, consistent and gen.
tecl; they do not train with the holier-than
thou people. neither have they inherited
greatness they are, to-day, each in his own
party, the perfected dream of the political
idealist and their nomination would light
such blaze Of political enthusiasm as would
keep the heavens aglow, to an extent that
would lead the old world empires to believe
that the western star of rcpubicanism had
set a continent on fire.
