Just as the locomotive engineer gets
his orders. He runs on an order
until il is out or is cancelled and a
substitute furnished, and when he
gets new orders he no longer fol-
lows the old. Mr.. Paschal got sub

Mr.. Houston proposes to boss the
district or step up to headquarters
(the people) and get his orders the
same as he gets his salary? We
employ our congressman as an at
torney to act for us, not against us.
"Mr. Houston How do you stand
on the wool, hide, and horse ques-
tions If you are against these in
dustries are you subject to the will
of your constituency ? Speak out.
The people are very anxious about
this matter as they have had no

Ga Duane ST., New York, Sept. u, '94.
Here is an American who wishes
to wear American goods made eX-
clusively from American wool and
by American labor. He is not
looking for any free wool attach
ment in his, but understands that
only by the use of American raw
material in the manufacture of
American goods by Americ an Ia
Dor can prosperity be assn red to
the American people,"
1t seems a pity that American
woolens should lose their identy
between the manufacturer and the
retailer. 1t is a we'll known fact
that the wooden manufacturer, as a
rule, furnishes his goods to the
jobber. The jObber mixes his
American goods and foreign goods,
and IL he finds line of American
goods is selling to advantage, he
calls it French goods or English
goods. On the contrary, if he
finds that any other line of goods
is not selling well, he calls it
American goods. Why should not
the American manufacturer adopt
a policy which would make his
goods known to the retailer and
the retailers customers, so that
people can intelligently buy Amer
lean goods and check the importa-
ton Of foreign stutfs.

There is no medicine so often

There is no medicine so often
needed in every home and so ad-
mirably adapted to the purpose for
which it is intended, as Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. Hardly week
passes but some member of the
family has need Of it. A toothache
may be cured by it. A touch of
rheumatism or neuralgia quieted.
The severe pain of burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore
healed in much less time than
when medicine has to be sent for.
A sprain may be promptly treated
before Inflammation sets in, which
insures a cure in about one-third of
the time otherwise required. Cuts
and bruises should receive imme-
diate treatment before the parts
become swollen, which can only be
done when Pain Balm is kept at
hand. A sore throat may be cured
before it becomes serious. A trou-
blesome corn may be removed by
applying it twice day for a week
or two. A lame back may be cured
and several days of valuable time
saved or pain in the side or chest
relieved without paying a doctor
bill. Procure a 5O.cent bottle at
once and you will never re-
greet it. For sale by F. Kalteyer

The New York Herald rightly says the
Income tax rider should be cut off the
tariff bill. If the people want the in
come tax let the matter be considered
separately. The income tax is not res
ponsible for the paralyzed condition of
business interests all over the country.
We want now a settlement of the tariff
question. The income tax can wait.
The Herald says: HTo begin with, the
rider is entirely out of place in a tariff
BILL The two things are separate and
distinct. They should be treated in
dependently. So treated, the income
tax should be stamped out as an imposi-
Eion foreign to republican institutions
and repugnant to American sentiment.
The tariff bill should then be sent to a
Joint conference committee without use
less debate. That is what the people
would i'm mperatively order if a vote could
be taken today. Their emphatic COM
mand would be to cut short the agitation
which is upsetting the business of the
country and pass tariff bill without
delay. The delay of the senate is in
tolerable when revival of prosperity is

HIS ElRST COFFEE.
The Surprising Experiences of Pioneer
Life in the Eastern States.

The Surprising Experiences of Pioneer
Life in the Eastern States.
Rev. Joseph Doddridge, in his s'Notes
on the Settlement and Indian Wars of
the Western Parts of Virginia and
Pennsylvania, gives a detailed and
realistic account of the pioneer life of
that region. He was born in 1869. His
mother died six or seven years after
ward, and his father sent him to Mary
land to school. On his way thither he
saw some wonderful things and had
some surprising experiences, which he
thus describes:
At Col. Browns in the mountains
for the first time saw tame geese. and
for bantering a pet gander got a Sc
we're biting by his bill and beating by
his wings wondered very much that
birds so large and strong should be SO
much tanner than the wild turkeys At
this place, however, all was right ex-
cept the large birds which they called
geese. The cabin and its furniture
were such asI had been accustomed to
see in the backwoods, as my country
was then called.
At Bedford everything was changed.
The tavern at which my uncle put up
was a stone house, and was plastered
inside, both as to the walls and the
ceiling. I was struck with astonish-
ment. i had no idea that there was
any house in the world which was not
built of logs, but here I looked round
the house and could see no logs, and
above 1 could see no joists Whether
such a thing had been made by the
hands of man, or had grown up OF
itself, 1 could not conjecture.
When supper came on, my confusion
was worse eonfounded. A little cup
stood in bigger one, with some
brownish stuff in it, which was neither
milk, hominy, nor broth. What to do
with these little cups and the little
spoons belonging to them could not
tell, and / was afraid to ask.
/ watched to see what'the big folks
would do. and then did the same, and
found the coffee nauseou- beyond any
thing l had ever tasted. I continued
10 drink, as the rest of the company
did with the tears streaming from my
eyes; but when it was to end was al
a loss to know, as the little cups were
! filled Immediately after being emptied.
This circumstance distressed me very
much, but looking attentively at the
| grown persons, i saw one man turn his
| cup bottom upward and put his spoor
| across it. observed that after tha'
| his cup was not filed again, and
| followed his example with a like happy
result.
