tract is blessing in many ways.
Weakly infants have been miracu-
lousy raised from infancy to boy
hood or girlhood. through its in
strumentailty. It is not infre-
quent to find thar nearly all the
physical ills of life are the bane
of iuvenility--the inheritance, for
the most part, OF ancestral weak
ness. Very often the heredita-
ment is distinctly tIaceable to an
invalidated father or sickly
mother. A year or two, at any
rate, Of Johann Hof'S Malt Ex-
tract would be sufficient to allay
the worst fears and build up a
constitution equal TO the strong
est. Mothers when nursing and
children III the earliest days of
their childhood cannot do better
than persist IN a course of Johann
Hoff's Malt Extract, And fire.
quently it has happened in fami-
lies, on the principle that what is
sauce of the goose is sauce for
the gander," that many acquired
complaints have been in relieved
and cured by having recourse to
this worldwide deadeyatum. A
child taking Johann Hoff's Malt
Extract has been known to be so
sensitive of its beneficial action
that a father driven into nervous
debility by the worries and
anxieties of life has found it
wonderful restorative, and "the

willed Bis Heart to His Wife.
From the Indianapolfs journal.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 17.-Maj. Earl Brandt,
an old German newspaper man, who died
Tuesday and was buried yesterday, left a
will containing queer bequest. He be-
queathed his heart TO his wife and left di-
rections for placing it in her possession. It
seems that Maj. Brandt married while a
young man, and his wife ia still living in
Germany. For some reason his married
life was unhappy and he came to America,
leaving his wife 10 the old country. Though
estranged from her for life, it seems that his
love for his wife never ceased, and he fire.
quently declared that as his heart was still
hers she should have 1t after his death. In
accordance with the provisions Of the will,
he heart has been removed from the body
and will be forwarded to Mrs. Brandt.

The Pardon Of Stokes.

The New York Tribune and one or two
other republican papers are making a
great ado about the pardon granted to
Edward $. Stokes by Mr.. Cleveland when
he was governor Of New York, nine years
ago. Stokes had served out his term of
imprisonment and he requested Mr.. Cleve-
land tn restore 10 him his citizenship. The
Fegues' was granted. That is all there is
about tho matter. If the granting of such
pardon had been unusual there might
DE so-ac eround for making a fuss about
it. b8t il was not Many such pardons
had been granted by Mr. Cleveland's pre-
desessors and others have been granted
10y his SUCCESSORS.
The points that the Tribune makes are
thai the pardon was not made public and
that Stokes was not entitled to the favor
j concludes that there was a bargain by
which Stokes. being a Tammany man,
agreed 20 use his influence to carry New
York for Mr.. Cleveland. who was can
djdate for President, and that Mr. Cleve-
land agreed to restore him to citizenship
for that service
Col Lamont, Secretary of War, who
was Mr. Cleyeland's private secretary at
the time the pardon was granted. in an
interview published in a New York
paper on Thursday, says that
there was nothing secret about
the pardon, and that there was no
bargain Of any kind connected with it. It
was put in the records where anybody
who wanted to could see it, but it was
not given out for publication because it is
not customary to publish such pardons.
The application for the pardon was re
ceived just as applications for other
pardons were received and was acted
upon just as others We're. There was no
understanding that the matter should be
kept secret, and, in fact. it was not kept
secret, because Stokes told some Of his
friends about it.
The Tribune says that Mr. Cleveland's
friends have placed him upon pedestal
and point to him as public man who has I
never been guilty Of any crookedness
such as mars the records ofordinary poll
ticians, and it regards it as a duty to pull
him down if it can. And that is what it
is trying to do. 1t doesn't care whether
Stokes was pardOned or not That is a
matter of no consequence, but it thinks it
has discovered something it can use to
make Mr.. Cleveland's fellow citizens hold
him in less esteem. The work il has
undertaken is not noble one, but it seems
to be the kind which the Tribune finds
great pleasure in doing.

The convention of republican leagues at
Louisville lacked backbone. It avoided
the old-time hobby, the race question, as
much as possible. One colored delegate
inquired why it was that the convention
neglected to make the most Of its oppor-
tunity for denouncing lynchings at the
south. He was informed that the re-
affirmation of the republican national
platform covered that point fully Eight
years ago, or even four years ago, a repub-
lican convention would no more have
thought of adiourning without making
the waving of the bloody shirt its leading
feature than it would have thought of
flying. The fact is the Republican party
finds the black man is getting too indie
pendent in politics. Only a short while
ago a republican convention in Baltimore
adopted unanimously a resolution barring
black men out of white republican clubs.
The spirit that prompted that resolution
appears to be growing in the Republican
party.

Senator Irby, of South Carolina, needs
to be heard from again in regard to lynch
ings. The country will be quite ready to
acquit him of any knowledge of or par
ticipation in the lynching of the colored
man in Laurens county. But how about
the statement that he is tacitly in favor
OF the lynching of any colored preacher
who gets up there in Laurens county,
and advises the negroes to join tho better
element OF The whites" in politics! 1t
surely cannot be that Senator Irby is OF
the opinion that the worse clement of the
whites must, and will, rule the state.
despite the better element" of the
whites, the colored element or any other
element. In this connection, by the way,
it is worthy of remark that the Columbia
Register, Gov. Tillman's mouthpiece, a
few days ago contained a leading editorial
commendatory of an alleged proposition
that vigilance committees be organized in
each county for the purpose of taking care
OF rapists and Migrants,
