Quite a Change.

Afew weeks ago, Hill stock was on a
BOOM" but it seems to have col
lapsed. Whilst Hill stock is falling,
Cleveland stock is rising. The war
made upon Cleveland by the politicians
of his own party, who object to him
because they cannot manipulate him
to subserve their individual purposes,
has served to show his strength with
the honest masses who are not seeking
office, but the best interests of the
country. He is like gum ball which
bounces the higher the harder it is
struck. 1t seems now that he will have
a majority in the Convention over any
other candidate, and that Hill will
have no chance at all.
The only thing which gives any
trouble now is the condition of affairs
in New York, brought about by Hill
and his friends, which causes doubt as
to whether Cleveland can carry that
State, which is deemed necessary for
election; but at the same time it is
thought that if he cannot, no other
man who could be nominated could do
so, so that as matters now appear, it
seems that Cleveland will receive the
nomination and will be elected, if Hill
and his friends in New York will give
a faithful support to the nominee of
the party. 1t now seems evident to
the party generally, what seemed clear
to us all the while, that Hill has no
chance at all, and that for the party to
nominate him would be political suicide
A special dispatch from Washington
to the Pittsburgh Dispatch last week
says -
Gwen his worst enemies are begin
ming to admit that Cleveland seems to
be inevitable. The change of opinion
during the last week is astonishing
The killing off of the silver bill is SO
direct an Endorsement of the unequivO-
cal position of Cleveland that the
scenes in the House have had the COM
plexion of a series of Cleveland ratifi-
cation meetings. / have never wit
messed so complete a revulsion of feel
ing on any subject as upon this of the
Democratic nomination. Sporting poll
ticians who one month ago were bet
ting that Cleveland would not be
heard of in the Chicago convention
are wagering even money that he will
have a walk-over. Cleveland's atti-
tude on the silver question is no OBJ
stacle now.
Ii is a common saying that Sif not
Cleveland it will be Western man.
But the name of Boies is the only one
that anyone can call to mind in all the
great West, and at the name of Boies
Democrats shake their heads-not
knowing why, but merely that it does
not seem to fit into the condition Of
things. Just as the State conventions
are about to begin to pile on one the
top of another Cleveland appears to be
the man of the hour. If vote of the
Democrats in Congress were taken
tonight, Cleveland would receive the
suffrage of nine of every ten members. u
In further confirmation of the above
views, the Baltimore Sun of the 4th
says -
1.-THE letters received daily by Con
gressmen from their constituents, as
well as reports brought back by Con
gressmen who have recently visited
their homes, show that the tide of pub
lie opinion is setting in all sections in
favor of Mr.. Cleveland's nomination
for the Presidency"

The Time To Make Good Roads.

Mark Twain tells story of a minis
ter who once had call in the country.
He had to ride nine miles over rough
road. The horse was skittish and the
cart had no springs, SO the poor
preacher was jolted up and down until
he almost wished he was dead. The
horse finally ran away and threw him
out into the road. When found he was
asked if he was hurt. He said he did
not know, but he felt as if he was
broken in many places. eff l ever go
to hell" he said, 81 want to ride there
over this road, because shall be very
glad when l get there"
This story is told, says the Norfolk
Landmark, to illustrate the infamous
character of many of the public reads
in this country, and it does not exag-
gerate the matter, for if there is one
feature of the works of men which dis
credits them, and hampers them, and
loads them with expense, retarding
them in their business and social COM
munication more than another, it is
the neglect and Indifference which is
apparent on every hand of the roads
over which they travel. 1t is almost
inconceivable that men of brains and
enterprise and thrift and sagacity
should go en-, year after year, groaning
under the burden of bad roads, when
it is demonstrable that for less money
than it costs them in wear and tear and
delay, they could have excellent high
ways, permanent in character and
glorious in results of money and salts
faction. The old roads that the Ro-
mans built in the time of the Caesars
are still standing, and are better than
the roads built in Virginia last year,
or ten years ago, and they have stood
the wear and tear of two thousand
years.
The roads of Italy, of France, of
England and Wales, of Germany and
other European countries are the de-
light and pride and wonder of all
travellers from this country. 1t is
with knowledge of our great short
colning-our deep humiliation--in this
respect that we continue to cry out to
our people to make it matter of i'm
portance next to their religion and
their duty to their wives and children
to look after their roads and to insist
upon the enforcement of the amended
law, which is the best we have for the
present. We are glad and thankful to
many of our State contemporaries in
the cities and in the C, untry who are
helping us to bring this matter before
the people. The courts, the Grand
Juries, and the people, acting together
and cordially cooperating, can work
revolution in few years. Believe us,
there is no public duty more impera-
tive.
Every road surveyor in the State can
learn, if he does not already know, how
to successfully repair his roads, and if
he will write to The League Roads I'm
provement Bureau, Potter Building,
New York, and ask for the best method
VI repairing PuUilC TOduS, covering UDe
work of draining and grading dirt
roads, he will get all the information
he needs, and it will be gladly fur
nished him. April, May or June are the
months in which the roads must be
worked in future, and one day in Octo-
Der also. Do not forget that this is
the law and every citizen should make
himself an agent to see that it is
obavcd.

Harry Tucker in Rhode Island.

The State election in Rhode ISLAND
will take place today, Wednesday,
For the last week hot canvass has
been made, both parties having distin
guished and able speakers from abroad

Infantry Hall in Providence on last
Wednesday night, the Democrats were
addressed in the order named by Gov
Campbell of Ohio, Hon. H. st. Geo.
Tucker, of Va, Hon. A. G.. Caruth OF
Kentucky, Hon. John P. Bryan of
Nebraska, and others.

plause.) -..
Here Mr.. fuckers collar button went
back on him, and he had to come down
to bare neck, much to the delight of
the audience, who said he then looked
like a working man.
When the laughter subsidized he said:
That's all right, the collar of no
man and of no corporation is about my
neck" (AppIause.)
This is great conflict, he said. The
Democrats of Rhode Island were as the
picket guard in the great fight, just as
some of them were in the greater con-
fiict of 1860-65. Here in Rhode Island
begins the great fight of 1899, and the
eyes of the nation are upon the Demo
Gratis of this State, from whom is ex-
pected victory.
If the Democrats of this State could
not stand on the principles of equal
rights and no special privileges, for
Gods sake what can they stand on?
That is, must be, the battle cry.

Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking
