His Nomination Endorsed by the senate
without Even the Formally Of . Vote.
If there was at any time disposition
on the part OF the Democrats to oppose
the confirmation of Judge Jackson to
be an associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, that cppo-
sition vanished when the Senate went
into executive session Saturday after
noon. There was not even the formal
ity Of vote. The ex. cutive journal
was read, containing the nomination Of
Judge Jackson, which had previously
been reported favorably, and when the
President of the Sc. ste said IF there
are no objections the nomination will
stand confirmed, not q Senator or ened
his mouth. In this quiet way all the
opposition disappeared, and Associate
Justice jackson will. as coon. as con-
venient to him. qualify for the place to
which he has been appointed BY Re-
publican President. The injunction OF
secrecy was not removed from tho pro-
ceedingS.

tween Secretary OF State Foster and

Starving While Surrounded by Millions.
The Industrial Union gives this
graphic picture OF condi ions i'll the
city of Cincinnati:
On last Friday, in the city of Gin
cinnati. as a bakers wagon was on its
usual round, delivering bread to GUS
toners, the driver was assaulted by a
hungry mob, who began to take his
bread from the wagon and devour it
like SO many ravenous wolves. Of
course the driver resisted, and tried to
defend his employers property, and in
the melee he was killed. This started
the officers Of the law at once, and they
were met by mob, who told them
they would have one of two things,
bread or blood. This, at once, started
investigation. In one room was found
200 young men, with only one fire in it,
not one bite to eat nor one particle of
bedding. The Salvation Army gath
cred 300 into large room, and kept
them from freezing. Another large
number were found, i'll back alley,
fighting over some crusts they had
found in garbage heap, and the daily
papers Of that place say the cry Of
bread is heard on every hand, and
loudly sing the old time cry of charity,
charity Heavens! We have heard that
word until we think it the most abused
word in the English language. Lord
of all. Let us have some justice
mixed with this charity business. In
all the reports of suffering from there,
not one word is said against any of
them. but the party that attacked the
bakers wagon, they We're only poor
people out of work, but rather than
make any disturbance were willing to
lay down and freeze and starve. We
have too much food, too much clothing.
we are told, more than the market will
bear; no need for them; our railways
are blocked with grain cars, our ele-
vators bursting open, no room for any
more, markets are glutted, and, in the
midst of this, thousands freezing and
starving. What kind of system have
we? Millions piling mp on the one
hand. thousands starving in sight of
it. On the same night this occurred
in Cincinnati, there was held in the
city of Philadelphia, notable meeting
composed of men who are called great
fnanciers, from Washington, New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, and other
places, composed about equally OF
Democrats and Republicans theaven
save the mark, to discuss the financial
situation. and they arrived at the firm
conclusion that all that Was necessary
to do was to withdraw all the paper
and silver from circulation, and conf
dence would complete the balance.
The walls of the starving, the groans
of the freezing, waited to their ears by
lightning wires, was only an appro.
pirate doxology to their meeting. Did
any of them ever read any French lis
tory of the year 1889?

MORE THAN A BILLION.
Present Congress Beats Its Predecessor
AuurOurRatiOux.

The Fifth-second Congress has seen
the billion-dollar appropr' alton Of ito
predecessor and gives promise OF going
over thirty millions better. Gays press
dispatch. Lest some should doubt the
assertion that this Congress will also
be known rs billion-dollar affair few
figures may be quoted. They were OBJ
tanned by the correspondent from the
appropriations committee and are &C.
curate. They show that the appropria-
tions for the first session OF this Con-
gress were In round numbers $5O7 ,OOO,-
900. The appropriation bills for this
session have not all passed tho Senate,
Tut they have al passed the Democratic
House, and as they will undoubtedly be
increased by the Senate by probably
ten millions-it Is certain they will not
be decreased-they are safe for the pur-
rose OF conservative computation.

The Ratio.

When one ounce of pure silver sells
on the market as it now does for S3
cents, 81 will buy SIS. 3l337 grains OF
silver. and since there are 23.2 grains
Of gold in dollar, the current ratio of
value is 57S3l337 divided by 23.2,
which is 24927. The coinage ratio is
IL to 1, and sill the two kinds of coin
remain at parity, while the market
value ratio is 24.927 to l. The aucs-
ton about which the two sides differ
on the silver ques ion is: Would the
parity still continue if coinage was
made free at ratio of 16 to =? If the
answer is yes, then why would it not
also do the sane at Il ratio of 10 or 5

The exercise of irresponsible power,
by whatever means, is tyranny, and
should not be tolerated. The power
which men irresponsihly exercise for
their private ends over individuals
and communities through superior
wealth is essentially tyrannous and as
inconsistent with Democratic principle
and as offensive to self-respecting men
as any form of political tyranny thet
was ever endured. As political quail
ity is the remedy for political tyranny,
so is economic equality the only way
of putting an end to the economic
tyranny exercised 10y the few over the
many through superiority of wealth.
The industrial system of a nation, like
its political system, should he a gov
ernment of the people, by the people.
for the people Until economic equal
ity shall give a basis to loliiical
equali Y, the latter is but a sham.-

/ COMMON SENSE REMrpY.

In the matter of curatives what you
want is something that will do its work
while you continue to do yours-a
remedy that will give you no incon-

experiment; they have been in use for
over thirty years, and their value has
been attested by the highest medical
authorities, as well as by testimonials
from those who have used them. They
require no change of diet, and are not
affected by wet or cold. Their action
does not interfere with labor or busi-
ness; you can toll and yet be cured
while hard at work. They are so pure
that the youngest, the oldest, the old
est, the most delicate person of either

Beware of limitations, and do not be
