Skillful Treatment.

Drs. France Il Ottman, of the France
Medical Institute, Physicians and Sur
geOns, by request of their many friends
and patients, will make return visit to
your city. The doctors are meeting with
gratifying success and we advise the
afflicted to consult them on the above
date of their visit. Their speciality is
chronic diseases and diseases of the eye
and ear, and they give their entire atten-
ton to the successful treatment of these
complaints. Their success is due to a
thorough knowledge of the human sys-
tenn, gained by an extensive hospital ex-
perience and careful study. They do not
profess to perform miracles, nor to work
by magic, but extensive experience in
the hospitals of New York City, office
association with eminent specialists there
and years eff study with the best authori-
ties, make their treatment in certain lines
of practice worthy of consideration. That
it is skillful, that it is not experimental,
that it represents the best improvements
and developments of modern discovery,
is all that is claimed for it. Health is as
important as life, and no invalid who
values health can afford to lose this Op.
portunity of obtaining their skillful
treatment.

Prof. Hicks Tells Us that Warm Wave
Is Coming.
Hicks, whose prognostications for the
begin ming of this month have been wide
of the mark, predicts as follows for the
remaining part of July:
From about the 18th to the 18th, in
elusive, expect very warm weather. This
is period in which rain may be expected,
but we believe that there will be more
violent buster and electrical displays
than corresponding rainfall. All storm
clouds that appear about the 18th. 14th,
and 10Th, should be carefully watched.
1t is period in which dangerous devel-
opments are liable to appear at any hour.
About the 10Th the thermometer will rise
very high again, and secondary storms
will travel from west to east, being in
transit about 18th to Goth.
A warm wave of marked intensity will
spread over the country during the period
beginning the 22nd and reaching to the
26th. The month will go out very warm,
with regular storm culminations central
on the 3lst. Let every possible precaution
be taken against the appearance and
spread of epidemics.

majority against free silver.

THE Democratic New York Sun has
no sympathy with the demagogic efforts
of the Democratic press and orators to
make political capital out of the situa-
ton at Homestead. 1t says:
The responsibility for the crime at Homestead
does not lie with Carnegie nor primarily with the
striking workmen, but with vicious, Incorporate
and depraved newspapers like the World, and
with the selfish and worthless agitators and pro-
fessiOnal laber men whose business it is to breed
disorder and discomfort The bills are paid by the
labOrer every time. The agitator gets his living
and is never in the real fight. Murder is done,
property is destroyed, and thousands are made
idle and wretched. And all the suffering, all the
really grevous loss falls to the lot of the deluded
labOrer

THE troops of Pennsylvania marched
into Homestead and took possession
quietly Tuesday morning. They were
received with approval by the strikers.
The situation is full of gravity. The
company maintains silence as to its in
tentions, but it is certain that if non
union men are employed only the pres
ence of troops can keep order. Mean
time the State is expending $4,000 a
day to keep the soldiers on the spot.
1t is plain that the only safe way out
of the trouble is arbitration and mutual
concession on both sides.

DEMOCRACY makes capital out of
everything. Nothing is too sacred to
escape its frantic efforts. 1t cries out
that the Republican party is responsible
for the deplorable events at Homestead.
1t is the only party in America that can
look on this bloody strife in the light of
a campaign argument. 1t rejoices in
the misfortunes of the workingmen, and
profits by the disasters to the cause of
labor

The outrageous dishonesty of the
Democratic attempt to fasten on the
Republican party the responsibility of
the passage of the free silver bill is
patent from two facts. One is the vote
of the Senate, which stood as follows:
Democrats for free silver. 80
Democrats against free silver 10
Democratic majority for free silver. 20
Republicans for free silver. ver............,......1 IA
Republicans against free silver 81
Republican majority against free silver. IL
Three -fourths of the Democratic SEN
ators voted for the unlimited coinage of
seventy-cent dollars.
The other fact is the threat by Demo
Gratis that the House will approve the
passage of the bill. Democracy is
welded to the doctrine of free silver
1t has pronounced for it in the Senate,
in the House, and more than thirty of
its State conventions within the past
year have declared in favor of the dan
gerous policy.
