1t is a pleasure for us to present to our

ing when he says hat he was cured ofdisease
by The use of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy, it is so. Inasmuch as Mr., Dolson
never expected TO be cured of rheumatism
from which he suffered for a long time, we
relate his case. rheumatism, as every one
knows is caused by an excess Of acid in the
blood when it becomes settled in the joints
the patient endures most excruciating pain;
such was Mr.. DolsOn's condition when he be
gan the use of Favorite Remedy, and like
many Others who have followed the same
treatment he was cured. How many poor sui-
ferers there are to day who would give their
fortunes to be relieved from their terrors of
this awful complaint, not knowing that this
valuable preparation can be obtained of every
dealer in medicine, Favorite Remedy for a
long time was supplied physicians only but
the demand became so great that Dr. Ken
ncdy was forced to place it with druggists for
general sale. Mrs. Doson, as we'll as her
husband, has a good word for Favorite Rem
edy; says she, 81 have been troubled for years
with indigestion and palpitatiOn Of the heart
and used Fayorite Remedy and was entirely
cured"
One Of our local physicians, in speaking of
this medicine, recently, said: "Dr David
Kennedy has produced in Favorte Remedy
the only antidote for uric acid, and the rea-
son it cures such variety Of complaints is
from the fact that it dssolves this acid, eX-
pelling it from the system, thereby curing
the disease
Favorite Remedy is never failing specific
in diseases of the skin, liver, kidneys and
blood. 1t restores the disordered liver to a
healthy condition, corrects the worst cases Of
habitual constipation, it is a certain cure for
the diseases and weakness peculiar TO women.

WASHINGTON, Jan 6.-The Democratic
caucus met in the hall of the house
Of representatives at s o'clock last
night to consider the Wilson tariff bill.
There was a good attendance. Judge
HOLMAN was chairman and Mr.. Anderson
was secretary of the caucus Although
the roll call showed only 124 members
present many came in during the call,
and it was estimated that there were lii
Democrats i'm attendance when the pro-
ceedings began The attendance iudi-
Gated that i'm the neighborhood Of forty

were no conspicuous absentees among the
"kickers'
As soon as the roll had been called it
was decided to limit the speeches to five
minutes each General Wheeler, who was
one of the prime movers in the caucus
project then took the floor and made
vigorous speech against the proposition to
place coal and iron ore on the free list.
Speaker Crisp followed He offered
resolution declaring that it was the duty
of every Democrat to vote for the consid-
Grafton OF the tariff bill, and also that it
was the duty of all the Democrats to at
tend the sessions of the house and main
tain quorum until the tariff bill is dis
posed Of In a ringing speech the speaker
took occasion TO rather sharply reprimand
Democrats who had been responsible for
the inaction of the house during the past
three days.
The speaker said that the proper way to
act for those who were dissatisfied would
be to take up the bill and have it cousid-
cred They would be given an oppor-
tuuity to offer their amendments, and
these amendments could be voted upon
The party had been given commission
from the people. and it was it's duty to
carry it out The spectacle of the past

SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1894
a OONUNDRUM.

The Philadelphia North american
wants to know what are the essentials
or the essential priv ciples Of Demo
cracy2 Turning to the doctors Of that
school we become bewildered in the
maze of their contradictions. The
World says that the income tax ia i'm
perfect accord with the essential prin-
cipIes Of Democracy. The H,ruld de-
uounces the tax as essentiallymon rsh'-
cal. The Record, of our city, alludes
to the income tax feature of the Will
Son bill as a fungoid growth and not
to be tolerated. Thus the doctors, all
professors of modern Democracy, all
intelligent, aud equal as authority.
Thirty years ago the Worid was the
leading Democratic paper in the coun-
try. 1t then de. ounnoed the income
tax as essentially despotic and odious
in Republican country. The question
We must ask is, in what is the change,
in Democratic principles or in
monarchy Has monarchy come to
Democracy, or has Democracy gone
over to monarchy? # may he that
the World thirty years ago was infiu-
enced by its opposition to the prCsecu-
tion of the war for the Union, and be
cause the income tax was imposed to
furnish tho sinews Of that war. Many
persons will take the last named view.
But even then we shall not be rid OF
our perplexity, because the World
declares that the tax is the most
equitable and most easily collected OF
any, while it is aware that its candi-
date for President fought the collection
of the tax on his income for more years
than we care to remember, and finally
beat the government "horse, foot and
Dragons" We cannot be mistaken
when we say that the World stood by
Mr., Tilden and encouraged him to re
sist collection of the tax from first tC
last, all the time denouncing the taz
as unjust, and odious and intolerable
So we end as we began, with th,
query-What are Democratic princi-
Piles ? 1t depends on circumstances
They may be one thing to-day, bu
who will undertake to say what they
will be tomorrow ? They are adjust
able.

DR.. Moore Meeting with Great Success in
shenandoah.

Shenandoah.
DR., Moore, the specialist, who has practiced
so successfully at the Ferguson House for
severalweeks will bring his stay 10 close
Wednesday night January 10. That his sue.
cess has been phenomenal is proven by the
crowds who throug his office from the early
morn until late at ni-ht; and, still further,
by tn numerous cures he has effected while
there. That he has healed the sick of divers
diseases is attested by many Of our most prom
inent citizens He has distinguished him
self by numerous brilliant operations i'm oyo
surgery, in which line, because of it's impor-
lance, he is best known, although his success
in his medical specialties has been no less
pronounced.
That Dr. Moore is honorable and conscion
.ious in his practice is proven by the fact
that he will not accept cases unless no is
positive he that can benefit them. Many
have been turned away from his Office with
sad hearts and fearful eyes because the
doctor told them he could not cure them,
yet in their hearts they thanked him for his
honesty. DR.. Moore has certainly proved
himself enefactor 60 his community, and
all unite in wishing him godspeed, and hope
he may live long to carry on his benehcent
work for afflicted humanity.

Populists Refused to Aid Democrats in
Counting a Quorum.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-The strong arm
of the committee on rules was invoked
yesterday to break down the obstruction
in the path of tariff debate. An iron clad
order was brought in, setting out the pro-
gram for the tariff debate, and fixing Jan.
% as the day for taking the final vote.
This resulted only in sidetracking Mr.
BOutelle and his Hawaiian resolution, as
when the vote came to be taken on the
adoption of the order the Democrats
lacked nine votes of quorum. At least
twenty Democrats at the Capitol either
absented themselves from the hall or re
fused to answer to their names when
called. For four hours the Democratic
leaders tried with roll call after roll call
to bring their men into line, but instead
of gaining they lost votes on each success
sive roll call. The Populists, with the eX-
ception of Mr.. Bell, of Colorado also de-
clined to aid the Democrats to get the tariff
bill before the house, giving as the reason
for their action the short limit it was pro-
posed to set on their debate. Their votes
would have made up a quorum. Yester-
days proceedings are, therefore, of addi-
tional importance as marking the first
time in the history of either branch of
congress since the organization of the
third party that its members have held
the balance Of power. The house finally
adjourned without action. The senate
was not in session.

A TOPEKA BOY HANGED.

Brutal Murder by Charles wisdom, Col
ored, Brings Him to the GallOws.
Another name has been added to the
roll of those formerly of Topeka who
have achieved fame or infamy. That
name is Charles Wisdom, a colored young
man 81 years old, of St. Louis. Wisdom
was hanged Saturday for the murder Of
his employer, Henry Drexler, and the ST.
Louis papers say his crime was one Of
the most brutal known in that ection for
many years.
Wisdom was convicted in the ST. Louis
criminal court last fall. During his last
period of imprisonment he sent Gov.
Stone a rabbits foot with a long and pitt
full appeal for a pardon, but it failed TO
touch the heart of Stone, and the law
took its course. He died 81 minutes
after the floor dropped out from under
him.
Wisdom is the son of Topeka parents
and spent most of his boyhood shooting
craps. His old father and mother occu-
DIV shanty close to the Santa Fe shops,
and he leaves a respectable brother-in-
law in the person of Shell Young, who
works in Mason's barber shop at S34
