Ihe 9rTOng scnY,

The arrong soay,
with Catarrh, is to stop it without
curing it. The poisonous, irrita-
ting snuffs, strong caustic solutions,
creams" balms and the like may.
perhaps, palliate for a time. But
they may drive the disease to the
lungs. The wrong way is full of
danger.
The right way is a proved one.
It's with d.. Sagc's Catarrh Rem
edy. 1t cures, perfectly and per-
manently, by its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties,
the worst cases of Chronic Catarrh.
1t has proved itself RIGHT, thou
sands of times, when everything
else has failed.
And this makes its proprictors
willing to prove that it's the right
thing for yOu, no matter how bad
your case or Of how long standing.

TENNYSON'S LATEST EFFORT.

THE laurels of royalty hang heavy upon
the head of England's aged poet.-Brookty1,
Citizen.
LORD HALFRED's poem on the death Of the
Duke of Avondale appears to be another
case of the ill results of neglecting good
advice.-iS. Paul Pioneer Press I
LORD TENNYsoN's poem on the death of the
Duke of Clarence was only II lines in length,
but very gushing for its size. The criticisms
it has been attracting in the London jour-
nails are generally longer and much more
pointed Philadelphia Ledger
THE II trashy lines in which Lord Tenny-
son commentaries the virtues of the Duke
of Clarence are much better than his poem
of few years ago entitled "The Fleet" Or
to put it more correctly-they are not so
utterly bad as "The Fleet."-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.
The critics are laughing at Baron Tenny-
sons lines eulogizing the late Duke of
Clarence, and the adjectives tender, rever-
ent and pure" which the poet applies to the
young Prince especially excite their rnirth.
Undoubtedly the verses are baronic rather
than Byronic.-Ne,o York World.
BARON TENNYsoN's poem on the death of

Maybe it is, but Mr.. Tennyson has written

4 QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE.

The recent declarations of President
Harrison and Governor Mckinley placed
those eminent political leaders on record
plainly against the shaping of Congress
sional districts so as to give one party an
advantage over the other In view of
their position some very strong express
sions of diSapproval are to be expected
from them concerning the Congressional
apportionment bill which has Just passed
the Ohio Senate and is expected to 90
through the lower branch OF the Legisla-
tIre with a rush.
This measure. according to the pub
lished summary of its provisions, rivals
the most brilliant efforts of Southern
shoestring districting. The lines of the
proposed districts stretch across the State
like zigZag streak Of lightning, and are
wholly without the curved regularity of a
weather map. Ten of the districts are
stated to be about one hundred miles long;
aud the respect paid to Governor Nc
Kinley'S rule for fair apportiOnment is
illustrated by the fact that this bill is
drawn to give the Republicans fifteen
Congressmen, the Democrats five, and to
leave one in doubt, district in which the
Republican vote does not exceed the Dem
ocratic by over five per cent of the total.
OF course, the fact that this gerrymander
is for the benefit of their own party will
not deter Harrison Or Mckinley from
raising their protest against it, To keep
silence would be to confess their belief
that the gerrymander is immoral only
when their party loses by it.

THE CoMMUNITY's Loss.

The death of Adjutant General William
McClelland, which occurred yesterday
afternoon, after his illness of several
weeks, will be sad news to the large
circle of the deceased soldiers friends and
acquaintances. It had been hoped, up to
lev Tvs ago, that the severe illness of
the AGjutant General might terminate
more favorably, but the past two days
had prepared his friends for the worst.
Captain McClelland, as he was known
to all Pittsburg, had career which was
closely identified with this city, and which
this city can contemplate with just pride
As soldier he sustained the reputation of
Western Pennsylvania with conspicuous
gallantry, and all his honors in military
life were the reward of his conduct on the
field. In civil life, while modest and un-
assuming, he was ready in al efforts for
the public welfare, and as a politician his
good reputation was unsmirched. His
service as the executive officer of the
National Guard of Pennsylvania showed
his talent for that position, and, though
covering less than year of active work,
earned him recognition as the best Adju-
tant General the State has had in the
present generation.
The State at large, and Pittsburg espe-
cially, sustain grievous loss in the death
of William McClelland. All, without re-
gard to party lines, will unite in mourning
his demise and honoring his memory.

ToPULAR VOTE FOR SENATOR'S.

The action of the Republican commit
tees in Lawrence and Blair counties with
regard 10 the SenatoTship introduces a
move, and satisfactory feature. Instead
of leaving legislative candidates to seek
political sustenance by pledging them
selves in advance to this or that Sena-
torial candidate, they have provided for a
vote If the Republicans at the primaries
on the United States Senatorship. The
vote, Of course, would be binding pledge
on the legislative candidates nominated at
the caucus.
The example is one that might be copied
with advantage all over the State. 1t
would in the first place, if generally
adopted, give an mmistakable expression
Of the wish of the people-something that
even Pennsylvania Legislators dare not
disregard after it has once been made
clear. 1t would greatly curtail the bus
mess of setting up" candidates by the
different SenatOr-aspirants, who move.
speak and have their political being at the
cost and by the viii of their Senatorial
foster-parent 1t would greatly diminish
the possibilities of inducing the legislator,
by direct or indirect means, to change his
position after he reaches the Legislature,
for the man who betrayed the wishes of
those who elected him could consider his
public life as definitely terminated.
There is an excellent opportunity this
year for putting the popular experiment
into active practice While it may take
years to secure the election of Senators by
the people, it need not take as. many

PRAYERS PAID THE DEBT
A Mortgage Which Was Liquidated in a
Queer Manner.


NEW YORK, Feb. 7-[SpecirL Mrs. E. NJ.
Whittemore, who ia in charge of the Door of
Hope, is rejoicing over gift of $1,000 which
she says has come to this home for fallen
women entirely through the efforts of
prayer. 1t enables Mrs. Whittemore to pay
off $4,000 mortgage which has been hang
ing over the property for u long time. "For
some time after the Door of Hope came into
my possession as a sacred trust" she said
the other day, "the mortgage on the house
seemed displeasing to the Lord, and last
summer he placed Il burden of prayer on me
concerning it. 1 had faith to believe that
the money would be forthcoming before the
mortgage expired, and told my friends that
before next June the mortgage would GER
tainly be wiped out. / had not any conceD-
tion then where the money was coming
from"
"My friends were incredulous, but 1 as
sured them my prayer would be answered
before next summer. On January IL last, q
taken great interest in our work, asked
me to give her little time, as she had some
important matters to talk over with me. l
did not realize until she told me what her
mission was, and was totally unprepared
when she quietly said: i believe God wants
me to wipe that amount all out, and on one
condition, that my name be withheld. Will
hand'you check for SIS 900 for the pur-
pose" Mrs. Whittemore says that she was
nearly overcome by the offer. Only a short
time ago she refused quite a sum of money
on account of the dishonorab4e way IN
which it had been obtained.

PACKED HEARING.

A remarkable illustration of the manner
In which political methods are placed
above the public good is presented by the
composition of the subcommittee of the
House Ways and Means Committee to
draw up report on the operation of reci-
procity.
1t might be supposed that the policy OF
| securing from other countries reduction
or abolition of duties on products which
the United States can sell to them, in ex-
change for the reduction or abolition OF
duties on imports which all parties in this
country agree to, was matter which the
public was qualified to estimate for itself.
But on the suppositlon that it is matter
which requires investigation in order to
give the country full information, it is
self-evident that what is needed is impair
tial inquiry and fair statement of the
truth. The question is whether the COM
merce of the nation is increased and the
market for the products of American
workers extended by this policy. On a
question involving the prosperity of the
nation the people want only the truth, and
any attempt to prejudice or pack the COM
mittee which is to report on the subject Is
distinct avowal that transient political
advantage is of more Importance than the
truth about commercial policy affecting
the welfare of the people.
In this view it is important to learn that
Mr.. Springer, Chairman of the Ways and
Means, has so constituted the sub-com-
mittee having this subject in charge that
of in, Nv
policy of reciprocity gain an unprejudiced
hearing. 1t is 'tan ingenious flank move
ment," according to Democratic authority,
that he accomplished by appointing
Thomas B. Reed as the minority member
of the subcommittee. Mr. Reed is well
known to be bitterly opposed to Mr..
Blaine, and he has not hesitated to openly
express his dislike and contempt for the
reciprocal policy. Springer's action is
therefore tantamount to declaration that
not only will the majority of the commit
tee be swayed by the Democratic prejs-
dice against this commercial policy, but
the minority shall be inspired by personal
and political dislike TO its. champion. The
idea of giving the American people fair
and impartial statements on subject
which affects their prosperity is nowhere
beside the grand purpose of widening the
feud between Blaine and Reed and turn
ing out campaign material on One-sided
hearing.
OF course, report from a committee so
constituted will not have any more value
than so much waste paper, except as
demonstration of the practical politicians
proneness to placesparty advantage above
truth and the public welfare

THE LOTTERY DISTRUSTED.
Morris Letter Has No Effect in Weakening
the Opposition of the Antis.


NEW YORK, Feb. Ga dispatch received
by Charles B. Spahr, one of the editors of
the Christian Union, from Colonel Harrison
Parker, editor of the New Orleans Ne,o
Delta, the organ of the anti-lottery party,
says: "We will push the the fight to finish
1t is war to the death. We have no reliance
on the Morris promises. The Foster ticket
will march on to victory"
Mr.. Spahr, who attended the convention
at Baton Rouge in December, has been fol-
lowing the campaign in Louisiana with
special care and has been in constant COM
munication with the leaders of the anti
lottery movement. Speaking with reference
to the Morris letter he says: "Unless Gov
ernor and Legislature hostile to the lottery
are elected the business of the lottery COM
pany cannot possibly be brought to an end
before January l, 1895, and would then,
probably, be allowed to continue without
authorization in the constitution. With the
State machinery in its hands the lottery
might easily call constitutional conven-
tion and secure a recharter without submit
ting the proposition to the people. Many of
the anti-lottery people believe that Mr.. Nor
ris himself, who is q millionaire with influ-
ential social connections in New York and
Boston. would gladly give up the fight and
retire from the lottery business with the
SIS O00 900 $40, 000 900 he is reported to have
accumulated but it would only be too easy
for him to dispose of his interest to other
men.

people going to church to see other peoples
clothes-is 1t really alive yet? Where in
this city can be found an obtrusively dressed
congregation? Christian people are some
times possessors of good clothes; but in
Pittsburg they keep them for social occur
rences: they do not wear them to put to
shame their poorer neghbors in the house OF
God.
The trouble is with all the tramps that they
think all the well-dressed world is turned
against them, while there is nothing that
the well-dressed world at present, whether
in church or out of church, would hail more
gladly than an opportunity to really help
those who are down. We want to under
stand the tramp. We want the tramp to
understand us. We do not yet know how
to get either of these desires accomplished.
But when that understanding comes, there

We will find that we. have in many ways
been misjudging each other all along.
