MARVELLOUS CHOLERA CURE.

HAMBURG, September 10. Great in
terest has been aroused by the simple,
but seemingly effectual treatment re-
commended by Profs. Northengale and
Kahler. 1t may be that the decrease
in the fearful mortality can be ascrib-
ed to this treatment, which is nothing
but giving the patient enemas of warm
salt water. 1t is claimed by those who
have followed this course of treatment
that its result is marvellous. In some
cases where the patients were in such
a state of collapse that it was impossi-
BILE to discern the pulse, recovery has
followed the application of the enemas.
The claim is made that the death rate
of the city has been reduced fully fifty
per cent. through this method.

There IS every prospect now that the
cholera quarantine win make refined
sugar dearer. The holding of vessles
in quarantine has prevented the land
ing of q large amount of raw sugar,
and the supply which the refiners had
on hand is being rapidly used up
This state of affairs caused the refners
to issue yesterday a notice to their
customers that they would be unable
to fill their contracts, and that the out
put OF refined sugar would be regulat-
ed in accordance with the scarcity of
raw sugar. The American Sugar Re

= The artists who have past month en-

Catholic Church of this city completed
their work on Saturday and the trans
formation wrought is admired and
favorably commended upon by all who
have seen it, Entering, one is con
fronted by the mprovements that have
been made, among which are a number
OF costly statues purchased, frames of
Holy paintings regilded, etc. The pews
have been painted to represent oak, the
modern color of furniture. The entire
work was superintendent by Rev. Faith
er Mckeefry and all must admit that
1t was a judicious expenditure of mon
ey. The proceeds of the fairs held
from time to time, we understand. have
been sufficient to pay the cost of the
improvement. 1t is now one of the
handsomest churches in the valley and
must be a source of pride and satisfac-
ton to the congregation.

OUR TICK EFT.

The County as well as the State
ticket which the Democrats have plac-
ed in the field is conceded alike by
Democrats and Republicans to be an
exceptionally strong one, composed Of
men who are the bone and sinew of,
the State, who have their constituents
interests at heart, men who have by
integrity and business foresight placed
themselves in the front rank of those
who can be relied upon to faithfully
perform the duties of the offices for
which they have been nominated.
Let us refer briefly to our County
ticket. There is not man in the
County more competent to fill the of
flee of sheriff than Mr.. Geo L. SEN
cendiver. AS deputy sheriff he was
popular and deservedly so. He can
fill the position well, is the right man
for the place and the convention made
an excellent selection
In Mr.. Hunter Harlem we have a
man who is respected for the manly
qualities that he possesses. He is
farmer of Falling Waters District, is
everywhere esteemed and is entitled
to the full vote of his party.
Messrs. Jacob Syester and w. F.
Landers are two men who do great
credit to the ticket. Both stand high
in their respective neighborhoods and
both are prosperous farmers. Each
will make an excellent assessor and
everything entrusted in their hands
will be safe.
There is not more honorable man
i'll the county than d. S. Griffith, the
merchant of Gerardstown. Asa county
commissioner he will execute the work
which pertains to his office in an intelli
gent and satisfactory manner.
Messrs. Peyton r. Harrison and J.
S.Trammell are among the most promi-
nent men of Martinsburg. They are
both eminent examples of what men
can make of themselves and will most
creditably fill the offices of Justices of
the Peace
Messrs. A. j. Criswell and Thomas
Lemon are men who will fill the Offices
of eonstables creditably. The selec-
ton of these gentlemen is entirely in
accord with the good work of the con
ventlon which every one must endorse
Now that the convention has placed
such substantial ticket in the field
they should receive the support of
every voter. Lay all petty iealousies
and animosities aside. Upon their
election depends the wise and judicious
administration of affairs. We want
them in office and If every democrat
does his duty we will have them.

This is commendable move but we
hope there will be no need of the tents.

All precautionary measures will be
taken to prevent the disease entering

An Introductory feature Of the g. A.
r. Encampment, and very pleasant
one was the action Of the Confederate
Veterans Association, of Washington,
which, at meeting held Friday even
ing, unanimously appropriated 500
for the relief Of such members o. the
G. A. X. as may be sick during the
encampment. The committee charg-
ed with making known the action of
the association say: " Some of us,
when wounded, or sick and in prison,
received kind attention from enemies
whom we now greet as friends, and
we trust that this slight token from
veteran to veteran will cement more
closely the bonds that shonld unite
men who taught the world the worth
of American valor." With the men
who did the fighting the war is over,
and there will be many cordial meet
ings this week on historic battle-felds
between men who wore the blue and
the gray.

When a despot wanted money he

the people what you like. All that you
get in addition you may have This
is called farming the revenues"
Civilized countries had abandoned this
form of taxation when the United
States took it up in 1862 and devel-
oped it under the name of Protection.
The Congress said to forty-nine re-
finers Pay into the treasury a tax
of two cents per pound on your sugar
and you may collect from the people
three and a-half by forming trust and
fixing the selling price. That is worth

you pay into the treasury" The trust

The Democratic National Committee
has issued substantially the following
address:
HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC Ma
TIoNAL COMMITTEE,
NEW YORK, Sept. IA, 1892 !
To the People Of the United States:
The Democratic National Committee
congratulates the country on the re-
suit of the recent State elections in
Maine, Vermont and Arkansas. In
Arkansas, the combined opposition
fell short by over 10000 of the vote of
Democratic party alone. In Maine
and Vermont, the contest was conduct
ed distinctly on national issues. The
Republican managers appealed for
votes in these states on the ground
that "the size of the plurality would
exert a moral influence ON the cam
paign in other states" and that poll
would be practically our vote for Pres
ident." Similar appeals Summoned to
their aid all the potent resources of
their national organization. With
every favoring force, except public
opinion with no organization opposed
save those made up within the states
by the majority party which has been
out of power for generation, and un-
aided from abroad, the campaign of
our adversaries for a triumphant test
vote in these states so carefully plan
ned, so thoroughly and forcefully exc
cuted, has ended in conspicous disas-
ter VIM. F. HARRITY,
