AT the town of Kiantone, few miles
south of jamestown, Ny, the marriage
of Miss Aiken to Mr. Amsdell took place
last Wednesday. The bride was very
popular young woman and many friends
were at her wedding. She had slight
sore throat, but thought little of it, and
made complaint to no one. Since the
wedding the case has developed into one
of diphtheria, and nearly a score OF her
friends who were at the wedding and
kissed the bride when offering their good
wishes have been attacked by the same
disease.

Having become the champion of the
administration in the senate and the
sponsor of the bill to repeal the pur-
| chase clause of the Sherman law uncon-
d1tlonally, and thus to leave silver utter
~ without recognition as money on the
statute book, in the face of the fact that
for years he had been screaming that the
act OF 1873 was a trick,n and that the
degradation of silver meant the degrade
tlon OF the laboring classes and their
enslavement by the "gold bugs" and
capitalists Senator Voorhees, found him
self in very perplexing situation 1t
was his business as spokesman of the adj
ADMINISTRATION to defend and support it's
policy on the floor Of the House, and at
the same time it was his business as a
demagogue which he has been all his
life and which he intends to continue to
be, to keep himself solid with the
"masse S." the "rnasses" being, in the
opinion of the men of his ilk those peo-
pie VINO look upon men who have ac-
cgimulated property as robbers, and who
entertain a special hatred towards
bankers When he attempted as he did
in his speech, to carry on these two
kinds of business side by side the result
was somewhat ludicrous. Every word
he said in favor of the administration
policy was accompanied with vigorous
kick at d bank, or a "gold bugn or a
capitalist, for the purpose of letting his
constituents know that he by no means
contemplated the abandonment OF dema-
gogism. He advocated unconditional
repeal of the only remaining statute that
recognizes silver at all, and then, by way
of apology. for apparently turning his
back on his old love, he explained that
he did so because the Sherman law de-
graded silver by making it mere COM
modify. Knowing that he was favoring
a policy supported by all the bankers
in the country, he undertook to offset the
inference that might be drawn of sur
render to the bankers by vigorously de-
nouncing those long suffering individu-
ais as the enemies of the country and the
cause of all our woes. In his fury against
bankers he forgot for time his loyalty
w uikO cllei SholSCo Oldu
pension reform, one of the pet measures
of the administration, was inspired by
these wicked men. And to show that
he still entertained hatred of rich men,
he proposed an income tax. Many men
before Mr.. Voorhees, have tried to serve
God and Mammon at the same time,
but none of them ever met with distin-
gished success. 1t is not likely that the
Indiana Senator will alter the record of
centuries Already before the echoes of
his harangue have died away the silver
men are saying that he sold out for
patronage, and. the administration people
are regretting that they were compelled
to permit themselves to be represented
on the floor of the Senate by man
whose sincerity was questioned.

While the Republicans should, and
undoubtedly will almost to man, vote
for the repeal of the Sherman law, they
have good reason to complain of the way
in which the repeal measure has been
managed in the House. While the Demo-
cratic organs and leaders through the
country have been making frantic ap-
peals to the Republicans to lay aside
all partisanship the Democratic man
ayers in the House have placed the whole
matter on partisan basis. The COM
plant of Representative Boutelle is well
founded. Zone of the administration
Democrats" said he "came to me to talk
on the situation. I told him that there
was no doubts as to where I.stood. am
in favor of unconditional repeal and
will vote for it, but at the same time
told him that there was a feeling on the
part of good many Republicans that
they had been shamefully treated in
this matter. The administration relies
on securing from the Repu blicans the
majority of the votes that will be given
in the House in favor of repeal. And
yet they put through under gag rule.
without consulting us in the least, an
agreement among themselves and refused
us the privilege of offering a single
amendment, and would have been will
ing, apparently, if they could have done
SO to shut us out of debate.n While it is
not certain that this policy was inspired
by the President, it is altogether proba-
BILE that it was not adopted without his
knowledge and consent While, there
fore, the general object which he is aim
ing at is one which Republicans ought
to, and will, endorse. the method he has
adopted calls certainly for no common
dation from them.

Apropos to the present dull condition
of the stationery trade and trade general
ly, not only on! the Pacific coast, but also
throughout the United States, we pub
. lish the following, which appeared in
the Portland Oregonian Nov. Q, 1892,
the day the results of the last Presiden-
tial election were made known Wheth-
er the resaons given in this article be the
causes of the stagnation i'll business now
being experienced or not, the predictions
have certainly been verified:
"The country has decreed a change of
fiscal and industrial policy in the most pros
porous tina it has ever known. This is
largely the result of the immense foreign
vote in the great cities. Chicago carries
Illinois for Cleveland as the citvsof New
York carries New York State for him.
The labor vote, largely foreign, ignorant
of the extent OF it's prosperity, has been
misled by demagogues, and has revolted
against the best condition it has ever
known. The Populist craze, based on
the same error that has moved the labor
vote. has contributed not a little to the
result. A majority of the voters have for
the time put experience aside rejected
the policy under which employment was
abundant and wages better than ever be-
fore in our history, and have decided,
though without knowing it. to put
their labor on an equality with that of
the cheap labor countries OF the Old
World.
"There will be a rude awakening. We
shall now have free trade policy. We
ought to have it. The country has voted
for it, and the present generations hould
learn from experience what it means

larly in Industrial enterprises. Labor

1t is undoubtedly the fact that the pros
pect for the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law has much improved in the
last few days. From the first there has
been practically no doubt that repeal
measure would pass the House, but it's
fate in the Senate has been very
doubtful. At the beginning of the ses-
sion the silver men were so sure they
could defeat it that they talked boast
fully. Their tone has changed. They
admit now that the result is uncertain,
while the friends of repeal are growing
more confident. Senator Voorhees, atti-
tude has given them much encouragement
not because of any influence which he
has, but because it assures them of one
vote which they did not expect to get, and
the Senate is so close on the question
that one vote may be worth great deal.
OF course the repeal in the Senate, if it
comes, will be accompanied with dec
laration in favor of bimetalism, but
that under the circumstances, will
amount to nothing.

Items from North.

The new town of North is located
on the Southbound Railroad, two and
a half miles from the Lexington
line and thirty-two miles from Colum-
bia. 1t already contains twelve stores,
some of them very large ones, two
physicians, several shops, large saw
mills, and a high school Of which
Boynton O'Brien is principal. He
took charge on the 10th inst, and
now, at the end of three weeks, his
register shows sixty-three students
ranging from Latin and higher math-
ematics down to the speller. Several
have already availed themselves OF
the low rates for board and will soon
enroll. Mrs. Anna Dannelly, a lady
of rare accomplishments and much
experience, teaches music and agood
corps of assistants are engaged. No
place of like size, having about 300
inhabitants, can boast Of betterhealth
or can lay claim to purer society.
A large Baptist church will soon
be ready to occupy. The Methodist
intends to build. The eolored peo-
pie are erecting a fine church. North,
surrounded by the finest lands, with
a thoroughly progressive people, is
by far the leading town on the South
bound and it's school the largest on
that route.

young man; fills the vacancy left by
Mr.. O'Brien at Swansea Academy.

that Mr.. Smith will be well sup
ported so as to continue the large
school built there by the former prin.
cipal. We heartily wish him sue

water slightly warm and slightly

years with dyspepsia and Malaria in
the worst form, and was a daily suf-
ferer from sick headaches, my bowels
did not act but twice a week and fire.
quently only once a week. l could
not retain half I ate and my stomach
was always intentionally heavy; 1
tried pills, all kinds of medicines,
but only found temporary relief in
them: I was respondent and was
hoping to soon find relief in death.
Seeing your P. P. P, advertise
ment I decided to tryit and requested
DR.. Peak to get me a bottle; and
after taking that bottle I felt one
hundred per cent better, I have
taken two bottles and will soon get
another, and I can now eat in peace
and enjoy everything, and can sleep
like a top. My headaches have
ceased and my bowels T regular.
I would advise all sufferers like my
self to give P. P. P, a trial and they
will write you as I have that ?. P. P,

Only one small State bank has sus-

No matter what the cause is, the fig

commel cially than any part of the
country. Money is scarce here, a i
is everywhere, but everything al,

indications are that the South will

better credit than ever before.
