Train Robbing as an "Industrx. :"

Three train robberies last week
and one quite close at the Capital.
These bold foot pads are turning
the tables on the corporations which
have been robbing the public for a
long time, but the latter do it under
the agis of the law. The night
providers having no such shield use
revOlvers and dynamite. The eX-
press companies appear to be their
favorite game.
The train robbers should send
lobby to Washington next winter
and get their business legalized and
stand on an equal footing with the
corporations. If they employ an
expert lobby and use plenty of
Doodle they can procure a franchise
for their new industry no doubt.
The peoples servants might not
like to stand up and be put on
record but they can sneak a bill
through like Sherman's and Bay
ards demonetizing bill of 1873 was
got through. The public at large
was as much opposed to the de-
monetization law as they are to the
passage of train robbing law, but
it was put through after several
trials, and if the train "hold-up"
act was once on the statute books it
would be as hard to get it repealed
as the silver act, if the Doodle was
freely distributed. The last session
put through the sugar trust bill to
allow the people to be plundered by
Havemeyer's gang to the tune of
$40, 100000, then why shouldn't
the same congress push through an
act in favor of train robbing? And
then the robbers when resisted
could call on the autocrat of the
White House to send the U. S.
soldiers to vindicate and uphold the
law as he did to protect Pullman.
The train robbing "industry"
should be listed and protected like
all other similar kinds of business
by law of Congress. Send up the
lobby with the money, boys, and
get your business protected and
legalized, and it will soon become
as genteel as any Gifts kind, and all
the big dailies will soon be defend
ing the Knights of the greenwood
and worthy descendants of Rob
Roy.

Wanamaker for the Senate.

The Oxford Press endorses John
Wanamaker for the U. S. Senate to
succeed Don Cameron, in the fol-
lowing cordial way: "Could a bet
ter be selected? Mr.. Wanamaker
is not only the leading business
man of the State, but is strong
intellectually and morally and
broad minded enough to readily
compass the duties of Senator"
And advertises in The Press.
Wanamaker would fit in the Amer
lean House of Lords first rate. He
is millionaire, is gold bug of the
first water and hates silver as the
devil hates holy water. What
more fitting candidate could a
country newspaper recommend,
and be consistent with the eternal
fitness of things?

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube gets inham-
med you have a rumbling sound of I'M
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh }

Two Valuable Friends.

l. A physician cannot be always
had. rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Sprains, Bruises and Burns occur
often and sometimes when least eX-
pected. Keep handy the friend OF
many households and the destroyer
of all pain, the famous Red Flag
Oil, 25 cents.
2. Many precious life could be
saved that is being racked to death
with that terrible cough. Secure
a good nights rest by investing %
cents for a bottle of Pan-Tina, the
great remedy for Coughs, Colds and
Consumption. Bottles of Pan-Tina

The Saloon at Its Old Tricks.

A paragraph is being pushed
round among the Cecil papers stat
ing that the Internal revenue col
lector has granted license to cover
% persons to sell liquor" in Kent
county. Kentisaprohibition county.
This, the saloon argues is evidence
that "more liquor is sold in Kent
county," etc. etc., and that Eprohibi-
ton doesn't prohibit" Very well.
Neither does license prohibit. Then
why should any anti-liquor person
vote for license? Does the saloon
wish the liquor traffic to be pro-
hibited that it is always advancing
the argument that "prohibition
doesn't prohibit" 1t beats license
at prohibiting at all events.
But seriously, that old chestnut
of the government license business
ought to be understood by this time.
The whiskey ring have been in the
habit of purchasing government
license in prohibition counties and
states from away back. Not the
half of them are used. It's only a
bait to catch prohibition suckers.
Never mind the government licen-
ses. Let the whiskey ring invest
all the money they have a mind to
in this way. Vote against license
and we rather think the speak
easies will be attended to. And
that is what the whiskey party
believed also. Hence their anxiety
about the prohibition laws being
violated. Their tears over the
viola tions of prohibition laws are
all of the crocodile order. Vote
against license and organize to hunt
the blind tigers in the jungle.

Do these generally ofthe small
politician fry-who babble about the fall
in wages of manufacturing employees ever
stop to think who pays their wages? 1t
is not the manufacturers who pay their
employees wages. 1t is the people who
buy and consume the goods. Farmers
and general laborers buy and consume
the largest part ofthe goods. Ifthe latter's
products are cut down to the lowest figure
by a scarcity of money how is it possible
for them to furnish money to pay high
wages to other lines of labor?

All That in Left of the Long Brazi1Ia
Tnsurrection.

All That is Left of the Long Brazilian
Insurrection.
| Copyrighted, 1884, by the Associated Pressl
BEUNos AyREs, April 1.-THE re-
mains of the Brazilian rebel feet COM
manded by Admiral De Mello which ar
rived off this port last night are the sub
| jecr of extensive exchanges of telegraphic
messages between the authorities of this
place and the Brazilian government
through the Brazilian minister here.
The rebel ships are the Republica,
Meteoro, Iris, Urano and Esperanza.
and the rebels on board of them are suf-
fering from sickness, wounds and lack of
proper food supplies.
Their temporary wants have been sup
piled, with the consent of the Brazilian
minister, who has received advices from
Rio de Janeiro saying that general am
nesty will be granted to the insurgent
rank and file and that the Brazilian gov
eminent will pay the quarantine ex-
penses of the ships if they are sur
rendered to the Brazilian minister
Consequently the Argentine govern
ment, with the consent of the rebel
leaders is now experimenting the de-
livery of the five war vessels to the Bra
lillian minister, which will have been ac-
complished by the time this dispatch
reaches the United States. The crews
of the rebel ships here are being disem-
barked at the Lazarette here and will be
cared for until further orders are re-
ceived from Rio de Janeiro. 1t is be-
lieved that when the men and ships are
in proper condition. they will rejoin
the Brazilian vessels under the govern
ment officers and return to Rio de jan
GIRO.
President Peixoto's government has
notified the government of Uruguay that
the expenses and passage money home
of the insurgents who landed in the de-
partment of Rocha, Uruguay, will be
paid by the Brazilian government, and
that they may all with the exception of
the leaders, return to Brazil with no fear
of being severely punished for the part
which they have taken in the rebellion
Nothing seems to be known of the ul-
innate destination of Admiral de Mello
and General Saldago. although it is be-
lieved the former will take the opportu-
nifty of escaping to some foreign country
where he can hide himself for the rest of
his life.
On all sides the utmost contempt is ex-
pressed for Admiral De Meilo whose de-
sertion of Admiral Da Cana is looked
upon as being proof of cowardly treach-
cry which even the admiraPs most init
mate supporters condemn.
To such an extent does this feeling
prevail that it is openly stated that Da
CANA proposes to seek out Admiral De
Mello and compel him to meet in mortal
combat. Those who should know Ad-
miral De Mello the best believe that he
will take care to avoid any such meeting.
If the rebel admiral falls into the hands
of President Peixoto, there Is little doubt
but that he will be promptly tried by
court-martial and shot
