THE OPEN SWITCH.
An ESTABLISHED SAFEGUARD.

nv EoIADEAOAED SAfEG UARD.
Anybody who travels by cars knows what
is meant by an open switch" 1t is the
terror of railroad men, and the dread of the
traveller Its yictims-killed, horribly man.
gled or MANNED for life-are numbered by
the score each year.
Yeteven the dreaded "open switch " is not
so widely fatal as is certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask.
It is Heart Disease! "But," you reply, con-
fidently, ~ haven't any heart disease-,ny
heart is all right" Are you SURE?
DIR. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind, the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor-
ders of the heart are as common as those of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsuspected. The reason peo-
pie are not aware of this important fact is
because symptoms Of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source. If you have shortness of breath,
fluttering or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or

The Rev. ]. f. Carson, of New York
has been preaching on the subject OF
1.-THE External Proofs; or Ten Reasons
Why / Think the Bible is Inspired.
He began by saying that the Christian
religion demanded an intelligent faith,
and would not permit of an unreason-
ing, unthinling, or mechanical accept
ance. The first reason he dwelt ON
was that the presumption was In favor
of a revelation from God, for 1t would
be absurd after admitting there was a
God, to think that He had not revealed
Himself.
Robert G, Ingersoll travels around
the country trying to upset this book
and stirring up the mistakes of Noses
at 5000 night It is very easy to abuse
Moses at 5000 a night, especially as
Moses Is dead and can't talk back, II
would be worth something, after hear
ing the infldel on the mistakes OF Moses
to hear Moses on the mistakes of the
intdel, 1t would be interesting to hear
a military leader like Moses who, after
he was so years Of age, commanded
an army OF 100000 men, give his candid
opinion of a colonel of cavalry whose
career is said to have included
a single equipment"

THE RESULT.

AS we go to press this morning New
York, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Massachusetts, have gone solid repub-
lican. Maynard is downed, Boies is
beaten, Russell is showed under, and
Mckinley is vindicated by the most
magnificent majority ever given gov
ernor in Ohio. It is the republicans
day out. OF course the returns are not
absolutely complete yet We will bulle-
tin the final figures today.

cLBvELAND's COURAGE.

1t Is not the part of wisdom in repub-
licans to deprec ate the courage of the
president In his stand against silver
compromise. 1t is easy to say he had
to do it, but that is not SO. If he had
been weak he would have been over
come long ago. The silver senator's
have whined and scolded and roared in
vain. They felt his personal influence
as power greater than that of his pat
ronage. He was as defiant as they
we're rampant; as self-suficient as they
were furiously fanatical. All the COM
promises proposed were simply stupid
ity-absurd. The question was whether
we were to go on in the silver rapids
until we must shoot Niagara, and de-
base the coin, the currency, and the
credit of the country. The democratic
party has not been with Cleveland in
this fight 1t has been divided, dis
cordant, and distracted, but Cleveland
has insisted that he was a democrat,
and he had some reason to think so,
and to believe that there was a sense
in which he represented the democratic
party. The silver fanaticism has been
u great foolishness, except to the silver
trust, and that is just as positive an
institution as If 1t was incorporated.
The democratic party has been even
ly divided both in the senate and in
the house, on the great and only re-
commentator a democratic president
has made to democratic congress in
thirty-three years. They can settle
among themselves which wing of the
democracy is the real party, and the
more the contestants destroy each other
the better for the people at large. The
division of the democracy is to go on.
The line Of cleavage is visible in every
important question that relates to bus
mess affairs. The democratic party in
national affairs is not businses mans
party, not a national party, but
party of sentimentalism, and sectional
ism. 1t will divide on what is to be
done for silver, as to what is to be
done with the currency, and as to the
principles and performance of tariff re-
form. The assistance the presidents
position and personality promises to
render the country in the disintegration
of the democratic party, makes him
the most prospective public man in the
republic. The two wings of the demo-
cracy should take refuge-one with the
populsts and the other with the re-
publlcans. The democratic party as
party is an anachronism.

wise move, and fitting recognition OF

run. When we consider trains moving
at times with a velocity Of eighty, nine
ty or even one hundred miles an hour,
the marvel Is not that accidents should
occur but that 1t should be possible
to avoid frequent accidents among all
the combinations Of a vast and un-
ceasing train movement such as is
present in great railroad system. The
imperfections of tie present system
and these increasing factors of danger
demand additional safeguards. The
question then is: Can responsibility be
reduced and safety enhanced?

they are located In Owyhes county, sixteen
miles west of Namps, on the Union Pacific,
in the Snake river valley. and are in extent
five miles long by two wide. The discovery
of the gems was due TO q cowboy. named

Fred K. Oliver returned yesterday from

says the Spokane Review. Ho says the
specimens exhibited at Spokane by Newton
Campbell. which have attracted the atten-
ton of thousands of people, fall far short
of doing the mine full justice-in fact. he
says the largest specimens in this collection
would rank as pocket pieces beside the huge
chunks of ore that he saw. Since Mr..
Campbell left the mine his partners put in
another shot which disclosed great improve
msut, both in strength Of vein and richness
of the ore. One piece. weighing 1875
pounds, is literally inpreRnsted all
through with wies gold. Work will be
continued in the shaft. although it is
temporarily retarded by the surface
saser. MIR. Oliver deems this the best
showing ever made in any mine in the
