The Senate Will Be Democratic.

+ The complexion of the United
States Senate after the 4th of
March has been determined by
the election of w. N. Roach a
Democrat, to succeed Senator
Casey, of North Dakota. This
places the responsibility for the
government of the country dur
ing at least two years of Presi-
dent Cleveland's administration,
where it ought to be, entirely
upon the Democratic party.
The Democrats have promised
to alter radically the industrial
policy of the country, to revive
state banks and to repeal the
Sherman act, and make every
dollar of the currency as good as
every other Enthusiastically,
of course, for every dollar is at
present as good as every other
dollar for the purposes of curren-
cy. These are the cardinal feat
ures of the Democratic platform
the pledges upon which the
people gave the party their votes
and there can be no obstacle
now to the full performance of
the program which they do not
themselves interpose.
The Republicans can afford to
wait and see the experiment
faithfully tried. The Republican
party has never hesitated to state
plainly it's principles and add
minister the government in close
adhesion to them, and it will sur
render power with as clean and
proud a record as was ever vouch-
safed to an American political
organization. The country is at
this moment more prosperous
than ever before in its history.
While every nation in Europe is
bending under the weight of col
ossal scandals, the canal in France
the arms contract in Russia,
the banks in Italy, the bankers
in Germany and the Liberator
Building Association in England,
and the people of all of those
countries are terribly oppressed
by the manifold burdens of pow
erty and militarism-the United
States has no national scandal to
be ashamed Of, the government
has only clean hands and econo-
mical administration to disclose,
and the honest and industrious
people in all the ranks of life are
prosperous and happy. What will
the situation be four years hence?

SThe Blood is the Life :,

Runs the old saying, and everything
that ever makes part of any organ of the
body must reach it's place therein
through the blood. Therefore. if the
blood is purified and kept in good con.
dition by use of Hoods Sarsaparila, it
necessarily follows that the Lenefit of
the medicine is impaired to every organ
of the body. Can anything be simpler
than the method by which this excellent
medicine gives good health to all who
will try it fairly and patiently?

A Fake Newspaper Man.

According to recent dispatches the
sensational accounts which all the papers
had few days ago of the storming of
the Jail at Bakersville, n. c., the shoot
ing of the sheriff, the desperate battle
between the mob and the sheriff's posse
and the lynching of three prisoners was
all fake, as the newspaper men call
it, devised by a man named Hyams, as
sistant city editor of a paper at johnson
City, Tenn. Correspondents who were
sent from Ashcvillc. n. c., to Bakersville
have returned Worn out and disguised,
saying thcrois no trouble whatever there,
nor is there any reason to expect any.
The man Hyams who was guilty of
telling and publishing this abominable
lie should be discharged from his own
paper and blackistcd by every respect
able newspaper in the United States

Letter Box Novelties In London.

The first "penny-in-t he-slot" automat-

machine is now removed to the front of

will patronize the invention.
All that one has to do is to press a

A GrRRt American.

can become too great to be president. In
proof Of it stand the names of Webster.

list may properly be added the name Of
Blaine To the honor of the Maine states
man be it said that whatever the disap-
pointments of himself and friends, how
ever unfairly treated he appeared to be
by the party for which he had done so
much, he never faltered in his loyalty to
his party and his country, and where the
hardest work was being done and the
grandest achievements attained, there
was Blaine surrounded by his unwaver-
ing friends. He gave his strength, his
life to his country. They whom he OPP
posed respected him. Admiration of the
man was not circumscribed by party
lines For many years his magical name
has been saluted as that of the greatest
living American, and his death will he
recognized as an undesirable national
loss.-Cincinnati Commercial.

Life For a Cigarette.

Not many men can have sacrificed
their lives for so trifing an article as a
cigarette end. This, however. is what
has been done by French private sol
der with the curiously outlandish name
of Schwinghedaw. This man, who had
a bad character in the army for his in
suberdination, was undergoing one of
many terms of Imprisonment he has had
AZ D:eetrS military prison, when he
picked up a cigarette end that had been
thrown down in the exercise ground.
The sergeant on duty ordered him to
throw it away,whereupon the delinquent
became abusive and eventually struck
his superior with his fist. A court mar
tial sitting in Paris has condemned
Schwinghedaw to be shot.-London

The 1ntricacIes of Wan street.

Just after Jay GQuld's death, wealthy
Wall street broker made a proposition
to a young man who was not wealthy
but who had been able to do the broker
favor, which the latter appreciated.
The proposition was couched in langLago
something like this: Dick, you have
rendered me a valuable service, and !
want to do something for you. will
tell you what | will do. will carry 100
shares of Manhattan stock for you for a
month, or will buy you the best suit of
clothes that you can pick out. Which
will you take?"
The young man considered the propo-
sition for a few minutes and replied: 81
believe that Manhattan railway stock
will eventually go up, but if should be
the holder of 100 shares it would be Ger
tain to go down. Such is my luck III
variably. | will take the suit of clothes. g
On Friday this young man figured up
how much he had lost by making the
choice that he did. When Mr.. Gould
died, Manhattan was selling at 1872. On
Friday it sold at fraction above ia.
Had the young man chosen the 100 shares
and sold them Friday he would have
been about $1,000 richer.-New York

He had stopped to deliver several lee

and fell asleep again. Shortly after that
he was startled from his slumber by
bang at his door, which fell in with
crash. He leaped out of bed, but was
confronted by masked man pointing a
revolver ut him. He held a lantern in
his hand and commanded the colonel to
get back into bed and put his head under
the bedsheet.
Altogether the gang got about $50

death in case of pursuit.
Colonel SobiesEi says that when he
had his head under the sheet he asked
the burglar to kindly point the pistol out
of the window. The burglar laughed,
and the colonel thought it might be well
to temporize with him and said: Now
that you have got my watch and money,
perhaps you will oblige me by telling me
your politics. Are you ProhibitionistT

A Unique Invention.

The last application of the pdhny -in-
the-slot principle is characterized by
common sense, ingenuity and utility.
Hitherto the public has fed the automatic
machine with Coppers in return for value.
In the latest plan the process has been
reversed. The public will receive pen
MES instead of giving them. The idea is
this: To the person who turns a crank
100 times the machine yields up one
penny. The crank is connected inside
with a dynamo, and the 100 revolutions
Of the handle manufacture and store a
quantity Of electrical energy which is to
be eventually retailed by the owners Of
the machine for the purpose Of prOduc-
ing illumination.
The plan appears to be feasible enough,
and it wOuld certainly in districts where
unemployed labor abounded be pro-
ductive Of considerable good. No man
need go in want of a meal who can ap-
ply himself to the electrical automatic
machine. And the invention might be
capable of wide application. Why should
not every household be provided with
oner Every member Of the family might
in the name of exercise give the handle
80 many hundred turns day sufficient,
if that were possible, to provide cleo
tricity enough for the purposes of light
ing.
The turning of the crank might super
sede dumbbell practice in the mornings,
and during the summer months it might
be possible to store enough electrical
energy to tEe over the winter. From
the point of view of the man in the street
il would be interesting to know what in
come he could make in a week by
reasonable expenditure of effort. Even
If only 100 revolutions could be per-
formed in five minutes, the operator
would be working at the rate of a shil-
ling an hour, scale of remuneration
much in excess of that paid in some in
dustries involving quite as much physical
exertion. -Electricity
