disgrace its Judiciary by the election
of corrupt judge.

THE revolution in Cuba is likely to
result in a failure. The Spaniards
have frstclass navy and Cuba is too
much exposed to the guns of the navy
ever to hope to succeed in wrestling
the "gem of the Antilles" from the
power of Spain. In the forties and
fifties there were many tilibustering
parties organized in this country to
invade Cuba and revolutionize its gov.
eminent. Several organized forces
succeeded in landing but each of them
proved most disastrous. Even then
these tilibusteripg parties received
encouragement from Cubans but they
were never on hand when the invad-
ers landed.

TEN YEARS A VICTIM OF CATARRH,
How Cure Was Found After Everything
Else Had Failed.
KYLE. Tex. March 81. 1891.

KYLE, Tex, March 81, 1891.
"For 10 years have been suffering
of that dreadful disease, chronic ca.
tarrh. The doctors all pronounced
my case to be catarrh in its worst
form. l took many kinds of treat
ment to no avail. L have tried every
catarrh cure, but nothing seem to
benefit me in the least. 1 lost all con
fidence in medicine. At last heard
of Pc ru-na. l commenced to use it
and soon found relief. l continued
until l was completely cured, and am
now entirely rid of all catarrhal
symptoms. I would give $40 bottle
for Peru ma rather than to be with
out it. 1t has restored me to perfect
health. "MRs. M. J. TAMBLIN.n
1t would be difficult to describe O
worse case to cure than the above.
The length of time it had run, the fact
that it had continually grown worse,
and the further fact that 1t had al
ready developed the symptoms of the
dry or atropic stage of catarrh, COM
bine to make this very remarkable
cure, quite impossible to be made with
ordinary treatment.
This cure was effected by internal
treatment alone, and no spray, gargle
or inhalent was used The case began
to improve as soon as the medicine
was begun, and in few weeks every
symptom had disappeared, but tie
medicine was continued while
longer for fear they would return.
Not month passes but that hundreds
of similar cures are made by the in.
ternal use Of Pe.ru-na, unassisted by
other treatment.
Colds, winter coughs. bronchitis,
sore throat and pleurisy are all ca
tarrhal affections; and consequently
are quickly durable by Peru ma.
Each bottle OF Pe-ru.na is accomp-
anied by full directions for use.

WHEN Mr.. Cleveland thoroughly
investigates anything and arrives at
a conclusion he acts promptly. 1t
seems even before Secretary Gresham
had given his opinion to the world
on the Hawaiian embroglio Mr.. Cleve-
land had determined that it was the
duty of the United States authorities
to rsinstate the queen of the Hawaiian
islands to the throne and authority
she held prior to the revolution, and
he had taken measures accordingly.
Mr.. Cleveland does right and leaves
the consequences to work out them
selves, holding himself ready at any
time to assume the responsibility of
the consequences and meet further
duties as becomes the chief executive
of a great nation.

The Gal-Dal. News gracefully yields
to Chairman Sayers' denial that he
did not yield to the senate's demand
of $4,000 to pay back salaries to
clerks as condition of the passage Of
the urgent deficiency bill. The News
thinks as Mr.. Sayers as chairman of
the appropriation committee in the
house left it to Congressman Hutche'
son to make the objection, it was
natural that its correspondent should
think that he had yielded. That is
true, but it was not necessary for
Chairman Sayers to make the objec-
ton, when no doubt he knew it would
be made by Mr.. Hutchinson. We were
rather surprised at the statement OF
the News that Mr.. Sayers had yielded
to the demand of the senate, and
rather doubted its correctness and
therefore did not repeat it, but waited
for developments, which clearly vindi-
cate Mr.. Sayers. The claim for back
salaries by employees of the senate was
without any justice, and would have
gone to relatives of senator's who at
the time were enjoying vacation and
doing no work.

THE MEMPHIS FIRE.

Heavy Property Loss.

MEMPHIS, Nov. 14.-At 1870 O'Clock
this morning it was ascertained that
Thomas Il. Bond, residing on McLe-
more avenue, lost his life in the fire.
He was last seen on the third floor in
the gymnasium room of the Young
Mems Christian association. Nothing
has been seen or heard of him since.
Mr.. Bond is down in the directory as a
travelling agent, but owing to the late.
ness of the hour it was impossible to
learn anything definite regarding his
fate. Secretary Perkins, of the Young
Mems Christian association. received a
fractured skull, when he fell while de-
scending by means of UiD gutter. At
midnight he was reported very low
and his injuries will probably prove
fatal, A negro porter who also jumped
from window, sustained serious in
ternal injuries. F. Boardmen. a young
man who was in the Young Mems
Christian association rooms, jumped
from the second story window and
broke his right leg. @. R. White sus.
tanned a fracture of the right arm. The
total loss is about $175,OC0, insurance
about half.

The Republicans are jubilant at
present and are giving way to boast
fulness in which they inadvertently
betray their intentions. The Rev.
Bernard Kelley of Pennsylvania, in
rejoicing over their recent victories,
declares that they will win in 1896,
and that they will put in stronger
tariff than Mckinley ever dreamed
of. There is no doubt about the fact
that if the Republicans succeed in
1896 that they will use the country
for the private benefit of tho manu-
facturers and mine men. Forewarn.

CONDITIONAL PARDONS.

The modern idea of conditional par
dons must derive its originality from
the methodist plan of six months pro-
baton before thearplioant is admitted
to full membership. Mr.. Cleveland is
practical man, and yet his clemen-
cy in one case at least is based upon a
contingency. Last week man was
sentenced to four months imprison-
ment by the police court of the Dis
triet of Columbia for assault and bat
terry. 1t seems the accused was q
vigorous and strong man, and in an
argument with neighbor, an old
man who was very feeble, he became
enraged and beat the old man unmer-
cifully. 1t was in proof, by way of
extenuation for his brutality, that the
accused was under the influence Of
liquor, and the pardon by the execu.
tive was conditional. 1t was en-
dorsed: "Let the pardon be specific.
ally conditional upon the convict's
abstinence from. drinking any kind of
intoxicating liquor for the period of
three years from the date of pardon,
the pardon to be void if the condition
is violatedn We rarely differ with
Mr.. Cleveland upon any state policy,
hut we must presume that this condi-
tional pardon was given too inconsid-
erately and alta time when he was
engaged with other things under the
most absorbing conditions. A man
who is a brute under the influence of

cants does not restrain the violence Of
such a man and he might have as
we'll been turned loose upon the peo-
pie Of the District of Columbia with

that such a pardon will do Is to de-
prive the guilty party from hereafter

conditional pardons are neither poll

laws. For such a. crime as the one
under consideration, punishment
under the law ought to be sufficient to

MR.. RAYARD, our ambassador to
England, made speech in Liverpool
the other day in which he gave notice
that all changes in the tariff made by
a Democratic congress will be for the

benefit that country as we'll as this,

THE RUSSIAN REFUGEES.

The danger OF an extradition treaty
with Russia is about to manifest itself
and may result in disagreeable com
plications. An American skipper
while picking up whales in the Or
hotsk sea also picked up five fugitives
in an open boat, from Russian prison
in Siberia. They have been safely
landed in the United States but they
are now trembling with tear of their
extradition and return to the Siberian
mines. They claim to be political Of
tenders but there are some drast C
features of the treaty that puts it into
the power of the Russian authorities
to misrepresent the facts and We are
hardly permitted to doubt their stale
ments. However if Russia does
stretch out it's long arms to grasp
these poor people it is to be hoped
that not one iota of their rights as pc
litical refugees will be yielded to the
claims of the czar, but that full test
case of the provisions of
the extradition treaty shall be made,
and if it is found that it tends to work |
an injustice to this class of refugees
that it will at once be rescinded. 1t
ls fortunate for these poor refugees
that Grover Cleveland is at the head
the government. They can put their
faith in him with full assurance
that Russia will not succeed in pulling
wool over his eyes
