MRS MARY MEEHAN.

"I was sorely afflicted with rheu- matism for more than six months, and it seemed to atfiict my whole system, pains and stiffness of muscles and joints to which was added the more acute pains of sciatica.
 ~1"It was with the greatest difficulty I could keep about my house. I tried many remedies without relief. Having in mind the great benefit my husband received from the use of Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I con c.uded to resort to it. To my great joy it was completely successful and by the use of only three bottles I was entirely cured. and my health has been perfect since."
 There is no mistake about it, Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem edy is wonderful medicine and effects some most remarkable and surprising cures. Every sufferer from disease should try it, for the chances are that it will just hit the trouble and restore the long sought health. All druggists keep it for $1 and it is purely vegetable and harmless to use. It is the prescription and discovery of the great specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr Greene, of 35 w. 14th street, New York, who can in all cases be consulted free, either if you call or write him a descrip- tion of your disease.

BaYard on HarrisOn's Letter.

In a criticism of President Harrison's s letter of acceptance ex-Secretary Thomas F. Bayard says:
 There is not a burdensome tax upon productive industry which he proposes to tighten, nor the weight of which he desires to see more equally distributed. There is no cbscurity or compleXity ill such cases that distress and embar- rass importers and puzzle courts and counsel for which he proposes a remedy. To the amount of tax that reaches the public treasury he seems wholly indif- fcrent, but the advantages and profits of protection to its special beneficiaries he dilates upon with rapture and proph- esies their abundant increase.
 The toiling farmer who produces the bulk of our exports, the great army of unprotected consumers, ill whose in- creased cost of living the tariff and all other taxes are mingled, cannot finn! even one cold word of passing consider. ation and hopeful promise in this docu- ment of self and party congratulation and commendation.
 Never did a paper more plainly and unconsciously to the writer tell the story of its origin, and that its author was only the advocate and representative of a combination of classes unjustly favored by law, who had advanced him to power for their own profit and naturally desired it's continuance.

ACCORDING to Director General Davis Friday has always brought good luck to the Worlds Columbian exposition. It was on Friday that the house located the fair at Chicago. It was on another Friday that the senate confirmed this act President Harrison put his sigma ture to the bill on Friday, and on a sub sequent Friday named the national commission which met on Friday few weeks later. Columbus discovered America on Friday and the commemo- ration on October 21 next will occur on Friday. And, best of all, Holman and his piratical band of flibusters were knocked out on Friday and the expo sition was voted a subsidy of s2,5oO, ,OoO. All of which goes to show that Friday is not such bad day after all.

The Fosoe Bill and 5 DIctatorship.

The F0Sce Bill and a Dictatorship.
 Republican special pleaders seek in vain to minimize the force bill issue, knowing how it has aroused an irresisti- ble mass of patriotic sentiment in the north as we'll as in the south. Now and then one is found to declare frankly the real attitude of the party as sufficiently declared in the abhorrent measure kIfown as the Lodge bill. A few days ago the Hon. Frederick Douglass made this re- markable statement:
 "I believe that this is to be ultimately 8 composite nation. There is nothing else in store for us., It is almost certain to come. am inclined to think that there will eventually come in this coun- try dictatorship. There is a growing demand for strong government that will be able to protect all its citizens rich and poor, black and white-alike." The distinguished negro politician here | evinces a candor which is warmly com mended to every Republican special pleader or spellbinder who is in accord with his party on the subject. It is in deed certain that dictatorship would be the natural and logical issue of the force bill if the patriotic people of this country were to permit this initial at, l tempt at coercing their political action and strangling the liberties of every sovereign state.
 Happily there is little fear that such 8 contingency will be brought about "Forewarned is forearmed," and the people have been most thoroughly ad vised of their peril by an honest and courageous Democratic press. It need not be doubted that they will in Novem Der return verdict against the party which aims at placing ignorance on toI of intelligence in the southern states oi this Union and eventually establishing : dictatorship at Washington.

It Rises to Plague Them.

Republican organs which protested against the Mckinley bill two years ago do not like to have their old files looked through just now. Yet the truth spoken then is now rising to plague the insin- cere supporters of McKinleyism. The following is from the St. Paul Pioneer Press of Sept. IS, 1890: ''It is miscon- ception of the condition and the needs of the country on which the Mckinley bill is founded. We can find, upon a careful review, no reason why the Mo Kinley bill should become law, and none why it should receive the support of Republican members of congress un- less they belong to the school that be- lieves in the entire prohibition of i'm ports and the death of all commerce be tween nations. It is not an answer to the demand for tariff reduction and re- form"

PERRY MAY TRY AGAIN
Another Journey Contemplated
 to the Far North.
DOUBT CONCERNING vERHoEFF

No Positive Evidence That He Perished-
 His Strange Query to Several Comrades
 Believed That He Remained Alone ts
 Continue His Investigations.
 PHILADELPHIA, Sep. 24-Lieut.. Peary has gone to Washington, where's will remain several days before returning to make his report to the Academy of Nat ural Sciences.
 Just before leaving Lieut.. Peary said that ifhe could possibly arrange matters he would make another trip to the North.
 Arrangements have been made for an elaborate reception to Lieut.. and Mrs. Peary, but no date has been fixed nor will be until they are consulted.
 The results of the Peary Expedition have been made known partially by letters and dispatches from St. Johns. N. F. These tell that Lieut.. Peary has gained for America another laurel in the field of ex- ploration, but his scientific records and observations will have to be carefully col lated and examined before their full value can be ascertained.
 It was expected that Miss Verhoeff, the sister of the missing explorer, would ere ate a scene upon the arrival of the Kite. She was introduced to Lieut.. Peary. "Where is my brother?" she excitedly asked.
 Lieut. Peary said that everything had been done to rescue her brother. Miss Verhoeff would undoubtedly have made things lively had not her relatives told her that she would meet the Lieutenant at the Lafayette Hotel and talk the mat ter over.
 "Verhoeff left camp:" Lieut.. Peary said, Ito go ten miles. He took with him a revolver, 30 rounds of ammuni- tion, a compass, an axe, a heavy suit of clothes and provisions for five days. After being away for one day he returned and left word that if he was not back in four days we were not to look for him He did hot come back, and our search failed to find anything of him except what would lead us to think that he had fallen into an ice chasm on the glacier. A significant fact is that he asked four of the party if they thought I would allow him to remain behind alone They said 'No.'"
 "Thank God !" exclaimed Verhoeff's uncle. ''Hes alive; Pm sure of it."

"After that I stopped taking their remedies and began the use of Dr Greene's remedy.
 Previous to this could not sleep, my nerves were excitable and spasmodic, my stomach would not bear food, vomiting almost constantly. Soon after begin ming this remedy I slept better, and my stomach would bear light food.
 II continued to gain until could get out. I now work all the time, and feel that Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy saved my llfe."
 It is needless to say that his faithful wife Mary Meehan was profoundly thankful for> the unexpected recovery of her husband to health and strength through the wonderful curative virtues of this great medicine, but even in the midst of her great joy, she herself was prostrated by an alarming attack of rheumatism.
 "It is only just, and may be of great service to the afflicted" she says, that I should state publicly my serious trou. ble and how I was cured.

DOCTORS agree and disagree as to what we ought to eat or drink and how to dress, but at all times we may re- form. We read, write, and now comes the cheerful intelligence that we spell on the new plan, and wise men say any peculiarity of spelling is allowable so long as it is rational. Professor F. J. Child, of Harvard, says: cone of the most useful things just now is to break down the respect which great, foolish public has for the established spelling. Some have religious awe and some have an earthborn passion for it. At present don't care how anybody spells. Any particular, individual spelling is likely to be more rational than the ordi- nary" As Professor Child is the fore most American authority on the Eng fish language, his opinion is most in- teresting. Mir Lounsbury, the English professor at Yale, says that "no fetich- ism among savage tribes is so senseless as our respect for the present orthogra- phy of the English tongue"

ANOTHER proclamation has been issued by the "Six Companies" a Chinese organization, ordering all Chlnamen in this country not to obey the provisions of the Geary registration law on pain of ostracism and other dlre punishments. This is the second at tempt which this powerful society has made to secure notification of the law passed by congress last winter requiring all Chinamen to register within one year. These proclamations seem to have the desired influence, for very few celestials have as yet registered in any part of the United States. The latest manifesto declares solemnly that the law in question degrades the Chinese, and, if obeyed, will put them lower than the meanest of all peoples.

"A man may be mistaken, says writer in the Young Mems Era, as to his conceptions of what is true but before he is truly courageous he is fully persuaded that he is right be, cause he has taken his stand upon some truth he believes to be omnipo tent.

Mckinley Gives Himself Away.


 The best embodiment of the sham and insincerity of the Republicanism of the present day is to be found in the person of it's chief apostle, Major Mckinley. The champion of high protection goes about the country repeating the stale humbug that "the foreigner pays the tariff tax" Yet the champion is seldom able to convince anybody that he be, lieves his own words, for he nearly al. ways blurts out some fatal admission which shows that he has not deceived himself at least.
 Thus, in speaking at Woodside Island park, Ohio, he gave the following descrip- tion of three of the tariff bills passed at the recent session of congress:
 cone was to put wool on the free list, which means free from the sheep's back. but tariff when it goes on the peoples backs; another was hoop iron free fol the cotton planter, but hoop iron tariffed for all the rest of mankind; the third i> cotton bagging free for cotton states but tariffed for all other states"
 But if "the foreigner pays the tax how can the tariff on woolen goods be { burden to the people? Tariff when i goes on the peoples backs" can have bu one meaning, and that is that the Ameri can consumer pays the tariff tax.
 And if the foreigner has been paying the tax on cotton bagging, does not tho removal of the duty merely relieve tht foreigner instead of the southern plant CT? What hardship is involved in leav ing 'hoop iron tariffed for all the rest O mankind" if the foreigner is going tt pay the duty in any case?
 Mckinley does not believe his owl words.

THE hypocrisies of everyday life are increasing. I heard one man inquire of another, says writer in the San Francisco Newsletter, in a tone of the most anxious soGcitude, the other day: "Where are you living now?" As a matter of fact, that fellow did not care, not alone where the man was living, but whether he was alive at all. "And how is your hSaAh?" another vile de ception. How mush better and more honest 1t would be if every one ex- pressed his true sentiments, such as: ''Sorry you didn't break your neck last week." "Wish you were dead, so might firt with your pretty wife ''You are looking as bilious as the deuce; do hope your liver is affected. ' ''So you're back from New York, chi Why didn't you stay there? Nobody is glad to see you here" An, that would be good virile form of greeting, and would go long way toward promoting harmony in the human family.
