THERE never shodld be another in.
auguration of president on the 4th of
March. 1t is fitting that the senior
senator under the government, as is
John Sherman, should take the lead in
procuring legislation to forbid it. Only
the most stupid and unreasonable con-
servatism has operated to prevent the
change for some time. To continue the
custom is now simply criminal. 1t not
alone interferes with half the i'm
pressiveness of the ceremony; it is bar
to nearly all its enjoyment. 1t is
dangerous to health in the last degree.
There can be little doubt that people
have implanted the seeds of death by
their exposure to the weather of last
Saturday. To continue a custom which
induces this risk is to do an entirely I'M
necessary act, and one which there is
every reason to believe may result in
fatal consequences to a considerable
number of people.

suspending Immigration.

In view of the danger from the chol-
era epidemic in the coming spring, the
North Atlantic Steamship conference,
which includes the Allan, the Dominion
and the Beaver lines, has instructed
all its European agents to refuse to
book any German emigrants for the
United States or for Canada, unless the
would-be passengers have been removed
from German territory three weeks pre-
vious to the sailing date. This PROPOSE
ton will practically suspend all Ger
man, Russian and Polish emigration, as
Hamburg, where the cholera has reap
peared, is the port of exit. In addition,
by strict orders of the conference, all
British or continental emigration to
the United States has also been sus-
pended, SO far as the boats of the COM
panies composing that body are con-
cerned.

'But l found that it was not so In this
case. l have not taken it now for some
time and its results are just as good and
permanent.
Il must tell you am like a new per-
son. 1 have an excellent appetite, can
eat anything and everything, and l feel
buoyant and ambitious.
81 cannot express half want to, and
all this is perfectly true, as all my
friends and acquaintance are knowing
all the facts.
81 never expected to be cured as my
case had been of so long standing. l
hoped for nothing more than relief for a
while; but | am CURED, perfectly cured.
Yes, donot hesitate to say that through
the blessing of God and DIR, Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy 1 am
completely cured"
Such is the ladys remarkable story,
and we doubt if such wonderful cures
have ever before been made as are effect
ed by this truly valuable discovery, DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve re-
medy.
1t is a fact that everybody needs a
spr ng medicine, something to tone up
and strengthen the nerves, invigorate
the blood and start up a healthy action
of the organs and no medicine in the
world so perfectly and completely does
this as DIR. Greene'ss Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. 1t is the ideal spring in
vigorant and restorative.
All can secure it's great benefits as it
is for sale by druggists for 81. N:It is, too,
purely vegetable and harmless medi-
cine, the prescription in fact of the well
known, successful specialist, in nervous
and chronic diseases DIR Greene, of 35
w. 14th Street, New York who can be
consulted free of charge, personally or
by letter.

SOLDIERS who fought under the stars
and bars are even now receiving pen
sions. But let no one in the fast thin
ming ranks of those who think the civil
war is still "on" be stricken with horror
and dread. Uncle Sam isn't asked to
pay the piper. There are such things as
state pensions. More than 5000 of the
Georgia widows of confederate soldiers
have had their pensions paid within the
last few days. Next week the state
pension agent will fix up the pension of
the confederate veterans who were
wounded in the war between the states.
They will get so much for the loss of
an arm, so much for the loss of a leg,
and so on to the highest amount.

A STATEMENT has been issued from
Washington comparing the condition of
the public debt and of the treasury at
the beginning and close of Mr. Harri-
sons term of office. 1t would have
been better to have issued none, or else
one very much fuller and clearer. This
one reads like the shuflling and apollo
getic statement of manager conscious
of his own incompetency, and feebly
trying to put as good face on matters
as possible. But there are some items
that cannot be robbed of their signifi-
canoe. The "cash balance, or surplus"
in 1880 was $72, 997 ,42S. 1t is now only
$24, 12S, 097.SS, a decrease of $49,OOO,O 900;
and this falling off would have been at
least 100000 900 more had not the re-
demption fund of the National banks
been coolly, covered into the treasury
Two other facts stand out even in this
scant statement. They are the decrease
in gold and the increase of silver in the
treasury, which are respectively as fol-
lows:

THAT the English language is elusive
and hard to pin down to a recognized
significance is well illustrated by the
phrases fresh eggs" and strictly fresh
eggs" An entirely honest grocer will
assure customers that he has fresh eggs
when he knows full we'll that the eggs
he has have been packed in straw for
weeks; but if he is really an honest
grocer he will not give the assurance
that they are strictly fresh" eggs, be
cause the latter phrase has in the trade
a meaning widely different from that of
the other. Again, the phrase strictly
fresh eggs" has different meanings at
different seasons. 1t may mean now an
egg anywhere from one day to ten days
old, but in the spring it means an egg
not above two days old.

PERTH AMBoY, N. j., is the repository
of some of the finest old colonial fur
niture in the east. The city, which is
one of the Oldest ports of entry in the
United States, still retains a few of its
early dwellings,, and some of these are
occupied by descendants of those who
built the houses many generations ago.
The consequence is that the old fur
niture at Perth Amboy is never sold
save at the death of some venerable
freebooter, and even then is bought in
by vigilant relatives or friends.

philosophical citizens of Pennsylvania
that the time has come to devise meas
