A Good Thing to Keep at Hand.
From the Troy tKansas) Chief.


Some years ago we were very
much subject to severe spells oil
cholera morbus; and now when we
feel any of the symptoms that usu-
ally precede that ailment. such as
sickness at the stomach, diarrhoea,
ETC., we become scary. We have
found Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy the very
thing to straighten out one in such
cases, and always keep it about.
We are not writing this for a pay
testimonial, but to let our readers
know what is a good thing to keep
handy in the house. For sale by C.

Purely vegetable-Hood's Pills

In reference to the financial situa-
ton and favoring bimetallism, the
St. Louis Post Dispatch, says: "It
cannot be said that either the gold or
silver dollar at their present weight
is a strictly honest dollar. That
gold has appreciated is shown by
the heavy fall of prices since the
! monometallic movement began in
1871. Wheat has gone down in
value one-half or more and other
agricultural products, especially cot
ton, have fallen in like proportion.
1t is said that improved methods Of
production have caused some of the
fall, and this is admitted, but it will
not account for all of it. And when
the farmers, who constitute more
than one half of the working popu-
lation, have to sell twice as much
wheat, costing them much more
labor and time than in 1873, to get
money with which to pay their debts
and taxes, they naturally conclude
that the gold dollar is not an honest
dollar. On the other hand it is no
less certain that the silver dollar has
deprecated since the great discover
| les in Nevada and Colorado. This
is generally admitted by all but the
silver monometallists and needs nc
proof. We have thus two kinds o.
dollars, one of which as a standard
will wrong the debtor while the 9th
er will as certainly defraud th'
creditor. If the bimetallist proposes
to ascertain as nearly as possible
the actual depreciation of silver du
,, to natural causes and the actual ap
probation of gold to fix new rati
by adding silver to the one dolla
. !. and taking gold from the other
thus making them equal in valu
. and as near as may be correctin
the inequality produced by the flue
tuation of both-who could den

Navahoe was the first to cross the line, fol
lowed by Satanita, Calluna and Iverna in

ter course through Cowes Roads on the
turn to windward Navahoe kept the
lead, though Satanita gained slightly on
her on the run home.
Edwin White, the yacht builder of
Cowes in an interview today, said; THE
Nayahoe is undoubtedly as good as any Of
the crack boats. On Monday the wind was
rather strong for her. In lighter winds

Charles Silbeck, Captain Matthews and
other noted yachtsmen OF Cowes agree

The Petition to be Presented in Behalf
of Methodist Missionaries.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The petition Of the
board of managers of the Missionary So
eiety of the Methodist Episcopal church,
asking congress to repeal the provisions OF
the Chinese exclusion law, has been placed
In the hands OF a member of the senate and
a member of the house of congress, by
whom it will be presented as soon as posi-
Bile after the beginning of the extra session.
The document asks the senate and house
Of representatives to Immediately repeal
the Geary law, and says;
1--WE make this earnest petition first, on
the ground of justice and fair dealing By
solemn treaty agreement the Chinese have
the right to the same treatment that is ac-
corded to the citizens or subjects of the
most favored nation, The requirement.
that they shall register and take out GER
tifcates to assure their continued residence
here, and produce the testimony Of a white
witness of their right to be here, requires
of multitudes Of them an impossibility and
yet subjects them to imprisonment and
deportation if they fail to comply with the
requisition. The requirement made Of
them alone, in contradistinction to all
other foreigners in this country, is a pal
pable violation OF the treaty.
"We further petition for the repeal Of
this law, because it endangers our inter
ests in China The Methodist Episcopal
church has 1875 missionaries in that em-
pire. It has churches, chapels, dwellings,
school buildings, hospitals, printing
presses and other property to the amount
Of over 100000. We have reason to fear
that If the provisions of the law are in
sisted upon our missionaries and our prop,
erty will be imperiled. The Christian
sentiment of this country is opposed to
this enactment, and we urgently beseaob
its immediate repeal.
