A LITTLE boy of Mrs. McDonald's,

stove and was fearfully burned. The
pain was terrible, and it was thought
the burn was so severe as to scar the
child for life. l sold the lady bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which, after
greasing the sore, she applied. 1t soon

The Power of the Tongue.


Go with me to the halls of Yale and
listen to Chauncey NJ. Depew speak with
clean cut phrases of wisdom, salted with
sentences of wit. Come back to the city
and find him delivering an Grafton on
the Centennial in the presence of vast
multitude of witnesses, tone and style
and manner and figures totally different.
See him at the dinner of the New York
Press club, where 300 bright witted,
clever headed, nimble fingered, honest
hearted men applaud to the echo his per-
tinent, his suggestive, his eloquent SEN
.enceS Jump thence to the superb
Auditorium in Chicago, where $4,000
yellers and shouters and tooters surround
the 400 or 500 delegates assembled there
to nominate presidential candidate.
See how they listen. Watch as they
applaud Tell me that Chauncey M. De-
pew, bright, clever, experienced as he
is, could be the force, the factor in af
fairs, the distributor of ideas he is with
out what st. James would call an un-
ruly evil The fact is, tongue, like ev-
erything else, has its upper and lower,
its good and its bad, its sweet and its
sour.-Howard in New York Recorder.
The wheels of prOgress do not move
backward. Lawrence T. Neal, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, op-
posed everything for the soldier when
in the Legislature in 1s6S-'69; the bill
appropriating $4,000 to supply de-
ficiency in funds for the payment of
soldiers bounties; he opposed negro suf-
frage; he voted against allowing negro
military companies to participate in
Hayes inaugural as Governor of Ohio;
he opposed the reconstruction and con-
stitutional amendments for negro citi-
zenship. He also voted to exclude Afro
American children from the public
schools, and supported Vallandigham
for United States Senator against Judge
Allen G. Thurman. 1t is strange that
such copperhead expects patriotic
peoDle of today to vote for him.
business Will be conducted in "hand
to mouth" fashion pending the changes
in the tariff. Not until Congress ad-
journs and we know and have time to
adapt ourselves to its legislation upon
industrial questions can we hope for an
era Of prosperity. And not then unless
the elections are in favor of the Repub-
lican party. Nobody has confidence In
the Southern brigadiers who now domi-
nate the majority party.

AMAN known as ]. J. VanAlen has

A MAN known as J. J. VanAlen has
been appointed Ambassador to Italy by
President Cleveland. This man gave
$4,000 to the Democratic campaign
fund last year and he has repeatedly
said that he gave this money with the
distinct understanding that as consid-
Grafton he was to be appointed Ambas-
sador to Italy. The contract was made
with w. c. Whitney, Cleveland's chief
lieutenant during the campaign, and
now Cleveland has fulfilled his part of
the contract. Cleveland is said to have
tried to squirm out but VanAlen, while
he has but little brains, was shrewd
enough to hold him down to the con-
tract The sale of an Office for $4,000!
Nothing more shameful ever happened
under any government and certainly
never before occurred under this gov
ernment.

THE opposition organs say that these
hard times are due to Republican legis-
lation, but rejoice greatly at what little
revival in business there has been and
say that is due to Democracy. We do
not want to rob them of any credit, be-
cause If they need anything now it is
credit, but if the depression is due to
the Republican party the revival is also
due them, since no legislation has been
enacted by the Democracy. The con-
clusion is true if the premise is true, but
we deny the premise, and the Democ-
racy are welcome to all the consolation
they can get out of the situation.

oughly agreed with him, but he would
like to have his assistance in bringing

tee to the same understanding of the
question as he (McCorkle) seemed to
have. Mr.. Reed said he had in vain
attempted to explain to the Democratic
members the fallacy of their position,
but with the assistance of Democratic
Governor, elected on Democratic plat
form, he might finally accomplish his
purpose.
These humorous remarks on the part
of the ex-Speaker caused much merri-
ment, and the Democratic Governor,
who had advocated protection so elo-
quently, retired amid great laughter.

OHIO, MASSACHUSETTS AND IOWA.
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
These three Northern States will elect
Governors this fall, and the result will
turn largely on the tariff issue. In Ohio
State issues are altogether secondary,
while protection and free trade are fore
most in the public mind. This results
from the fact that Governor Mckinley
has been chosen to lead the Republicans
to victory, while the Hon. Larry Neal
carries the Democratic standard. The
principal reason for choosing him was
because he wrote the tariff plank in the
Chicago platform. Since his nomination
he has declared his purpose to fight the
battle on the tariff issue, and it is well
understood by both parties that vote
for Mckinley is vote for protection,
while ballot for Neal is a ballot for
free trade. This means the reelection
of Governor Mckinley by great big
majority.
In Massachusetts, which is the great
manufacturing state OF New England,
tens of thousands of mechanics and
laborers are idle, scores of mills have
closed, others are running in crippled
sort of way, while the outlook for the
future is anything but promising. AS
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia,
and ether mining and manufacturing
States, tariff tinkering is having de-
pressing effect, and workingmen who
voted the Democratic ticket are now
satisfied they made mistake. So pre-
valent is this feeling in Massachusetts,
that leading Democrats are despondent
over the outlook. "The prospect is
practically hopeless" is the way in which
the situation is expressed.
In Iowa, which is almost exclusively
an agricultural State, the Republicans
are once more united and determined,
having settled their differences on State
issues. They do not like the change
which has followed Democratic rule,
feel the depressing effects of threatened
free trade and will vote accordingly.
All classes are beginning to understand
that if they are to enjoy the benefits of
protection they must keep the Repub-
lican party in power.

PUBLIC OPINION.
WAITING.

New York Press
The Sunday Press publishes this
morning remarkable series of letters
from manufacturing firms and compa-
nies having their origin on account of
the Mckinley Tariff law. These letters
are printed word for word as received.
Those who express a belief that the
tariff will not affect their output or
profits receive precisely the same space
and position as the large majority who
regard the Mckinley law not only as the
reason for existence, but as essential to
their continuance. The Press believes
in absolute fairness, and in this partic-
ular regrets to say it differs from its free
trade contemporaries.
Summarized, these letters, which
should be carefully scrutinized by all
interested In the tariff question, show
beyond doubt that capital is waiting.
1t is waiting to know the extent of the
peril which threatens: waiting to know
what Congress will do with the particu-
lar schedule which covers some special
production; waiting to see how hard a
blow the enemies of American industry
intend to strike; waiting to know whether
it will be wise to start up on half time
or half pay or with half the usual num-
Der of operatives; waiting to ascertain II
the Democrats propose to capsize the
whole industrial organism of the coun-
try; waiting to find out when the
changes will 60 into force; waiting be-
cause values are unsettled, because the
stoppage of wages reduces consumption,
because retailers will not buy and be-
cause the outlook is uncertain in conse-
quence of distrust of the Democratic
party.
While the general refrain of waiting
permeates all this correspondence, some
of the writers are clipper and assure the
Press they are in the business to stay
Mckinley or no Mckinley. A small
minority are Indifferent about the tariff
and one or two even favor the repeal OF
the Mckinley law. 1t is impossible
however, to read these characteristic
letters without being strongly impressed
that the uuwise Legislators of the Ways
and Means Committee are jeopardizing
the wages and the very existence OF
hundreds of thousands of families this
winter by their cold blooded folly
Common sense, reason, experience, ties
timony such as never was heard before
the condition of the country, the outlooB
for business, all point strongly to the
fact that a reduction of tariff at thi:
crisis will be hardly short of criminal
and will bring about a widespread dis
aster such as those In favor of precipi
tating it can have no possible conception
Is it possible to avert this calamity?
