Supreme Court has decided that it is
constitutional, you are as foolish as the
Indian who attempted to talk a hole in
q rock. When you tell them the peo-
pie, through their representatives,
have the constitutional power to issue
a debt contracting money, but have
not the constitutional power to make
it pay those debts, you are engaged in
as foolish a task as the Indian who at
tempted to talk a hole in a rock.
When you tell them that to so legislate
as to double the purchasing power of
gold and rob the creditor of one-half of
his power to pay debts and taxes, is
right, you r engaged in as hopeless a
task as the Indian who attempted to
talk a hole in a rock. When you tell
them that the demonetizing of silver Is
"God-1ike gold) and of the higher
law" you insult their common sense.
and you are committing the folly Of
the Indian who attempted to talk q
hole in a rock.
In conclusion, we will inform Rusti-
u there are hundreds on the farms
all over the Uni3ed States who are
capable of imparting knowledge to his
class on financial reform and political
economy. During the campaign in
1876, up in Maine, speakers like Gar
field stumped the country at school
houses and were met by the horny
handed farmers and discounted. The
woods are full of financial refOrmers,
and they have on their war paint.
The policy of the ablest of the servants
of p~lutocracy like Sherman, is to re-
main silent. It is only those who are
destitute of a knowledge of the elemen
tary principles of financial reform that
rush in and get their wings clipped.

The Ousting Of Young.

Mr.. JAMES RANKIN YoUNo. late executive
clerk of the Senate, has addressed to Vice
President LEVI p. MORTON long letter set
ting forth what he calls the injustice done
him in being removed from his clerkship
without being Afforded any information as
to the charges against him. or any oppor-
tunity to defend himself.
Well, II does appear hard--it was hard |;
but as the secrets Of the Senate were con-
stantly leaking out, and as 1t was neces-
sary to punish somebody, 1t seems not I'M
natural that the old ladies Of the Senate
should have bounced upon Mr.. YOUNG, who
is represented to be "a trained journalist"
Mr.. Youxa had held his place tor fifteen
years and had had great opportunities to
make himself "solid" with the members
of the body, but doubtless they thought
that they had good cause Of complaint
against him: yet they should have made
sure. This they could have done through
Q committee, but this they would not do.
YouSo was first asked TO resign. That
be refused TO do pending the charges
against him. Then the Senate by solemn
resolution cut Of his Official head.
All that he asks now 10 that one OF the
senators who have pursued him in secret
should waive the constitutional privilege
of immunity for words spoken in debate
and avow in pubic . responsibility for
charges made during two afternoons of
angry discussion. Then. he says, " shall
be in the open. and able to protect myself.
lean promise swift and decisive answer
one that will satisfy the country. This is
On appeal to manliness. justice. and fair
play. I cannot believe that II Is made in
vain"
Nevertheless II is likely to DO In vain.

Canals and Electricity.

In Ohio there are canals which II has
been proposed to SELL But it is now said
that they can be operated with electricity
and thus be made useful and valuable.
The Columbus Journal says:
"If poles are stretched along tho canals the
same as they are now along the street railways
and rapid transit established from Cleveland
TO Portsmouth. II would certainly be great In
venticn and the public works Of the State would
become a formidable rival Of the railroads.
rapid system Of navigation from Duluth to New
Orleans may be among the possibilities OF the
future and II such Is the case the system OF
great lakes and the Mississippi river and its con-
tributaries viii be connected by an electric
canal system through the State OF Ohio"
The purposes to which electricity will
be employed in the future, we who boast
of the telegraph. the telephone. ETC.. can
not yet realize. There is no good reason
for doubling that our children will be as
far ahead of us in respect of these matters
as we are of the generations of the past.
Invention has not yet finished its work.
Discovery has not yet time to cease its
revelations.

Louisiana holds State election to-day
for Governor and other State officers, and
for all its district. parish. local, and NUM-
cipal Offices IN New Orleans and other
towns, and for full Legislature which
elects United States senator to succeed
II. l.. GIBSON in 1893.
The Democrats have two tickets in the
field, the Republicans two, and the Farm
ers' Alliance one--making five State tickets
in all.
The situation is so novel and the division
lines 80 extraordinary that the Oldest poll
ticians are at sea, and it is impossible to
foretell the result with any certainty,
though 1t is thought that the chances
slightly favor the election Of the Foster or
Democratic anti-lottery ticket.

A SLUGGISH STREAM.
II Gets Fonl and Poisonous Unless II is Kept
Constantly Flowing.

At this season OF the year people feel more or
less weak run down, wearied and depressed. Ii
has been commonly supposed that 1t was due to
impurities Of the blood, and that only by puri-
fying the blood can good health be secured. Is
this true? Let US see. The blood gets Impure
because II is sluggish. How does stream get
impure, with green scum and poisons on tho
top ? Simply because 10 doesn't run. running
stream Is not impure, but q stagnant or sluggish
stream always is. II. therefore, you would keep
your blood pure keep 1t moving, keep 1t throb-
bing The moment 1t begins TO DO sluggish II
win begin to be impure, and you will feel the
effects in tired, weak feelings, depressed emo
tions, aud a thousand and one troubles which al.
WAYS follow. The proper way TO Keep the Dloou
stirring IL by the Of a pure stimulant IN
moder alton. Stimulate II gently, and IL VIII
keep In constant healthy motion. and good health
will follow. There Is but one way In which this
can be done, and that IL by the use OF the purest
and best stimulant you can ind, preferably whis-
key and there Is but one absolutely pure, medici-
nal wbiskey known to the world, and that is
Duffy's Pure Malt. Scientists admit this, the
doctors all confirm 1t. II Is more generally used
to-day than any other whlskey which the world
has ever seen, and II Is popular only through It's
merits Do not let any druggist or grocer deceive
You by saying they have something "iust as
good,S " something they can recommend" etc
When any dealer says this he has an Interested
motive which usually is TO tell you something
cheap and inferior on which he can make more
money. Do not he 30 deceived.

WILD SHEEP.

Strange History of Those in West Virginia's Hills
Learned to Battle Their Way.
On the elevated table lands, between
Ten Mile Creek in Mason county and
Broad Run Creeh in jackson county,
may be found a considerable number
of wild sheep unsheltered and attended
by man, seeking their food where ami
mails less agile and sure-footed could
not venture, and finding shelter from
wintry storms and summer heat be-
meath the sheltering cliffs. They diff
fer but little in appearance from the
common sheep, except that their wool
is short and hairy and of a somewhat
darker color.
Their presence is thus accounted for:
Several years ago Il man by the name
Of Bray, who had settled in that sec
ton and gathered about him little
herd of stock, determined to move
away. He abandoned his homestead.
and a number of sheep that could not
at that time be taken were left to Craze
at will among the green hills. Learn
ing to battle their way amond wolves
and other wild animals and prowEng
dogs, they have increased until the
flock is now estimated to number over
700. They are generally seen in small
numbers, and are not easily approach
ed, taking refuge in fight. They are
vey heet-footed and can run for hours.
