To get cinder out of the eye, the
proper way to do is to catch up the eye
lid by the skin, and pull it away from the
eyebal gently and repeatedly. This not
only instantly relieves the pain, but pro
notes the shifting of the cinder in the
right direction. In almost every case
this will be found speedy and painless
remedy.

PENCIL POINTERS.

The result of the Congressional elec-
tions this fall is of the greatestimportance
as the first step toward the Republicans
regaining control of the country in 1895.
A single bad or weak nomination for
Congress on the part of the Republicans
might lose the House, and conventions
can not be TOO careful in selecting NOM
inees. 1t will not be safe to act on the
assumption that anybody can be elected
this fall" Anybody can not be elected.
The nomination of some men would be a
practical assurance of election, while to
nominate others just as clamorous for
recognition would be to invite defeat.
Men with known weakness on any line
should be set aside in naming party's
standard bearer, and only men able to
secure the full party vote should be con-
sidered at all.

The mighty stream of words that has
swept on and on since the tariff tinkeriug
began at Washington, has been pro-
ductive of many striking figures of
speech, apt and to the point. Senator
Morgan, of Alabama. started the memor-
able word, cuckoo" in his speech on the
Sherman repeal bill. Senator Hale started
a term which promises to be about as
popular. The Senator spoke last week,
and said of certain of his contemporaries
who are too subservient to the smile and
frown of the White House, 'they would
ask themselves, Is thy servant dog that
he should do this thing?' and then they
would all vote for the provisions they
despised, and thus answer their own
question" The dogs of the administra-
ton is not bad, applied as it is to grave.
reverend Senators, members of the most
dignified legislative body the world
knows.
Two years ago Judge briggs thought
he was so much over worked that he
wanted his salary increased 81 600 year
and got up bill to that end. The bill
was introduced but never got any farther
than the committee. His fine frenzy
over the cutting off of Monroe county
from Belmont, and the articles he is
debating for the Democratic newspapers
in Belmont and Monroe counties, don't
harmonic very well with the declarations
at that time that no judge could afford
to do the work for S2,500.
No matter whether a man was just or
unjust or in what part of the United
States he was last week, he was certain
to be rained upon if he went outside the
house.
Do not fail to select good men for
delegates to the Congressional and county
conventions next Saturday. Select rep
resentative men.

until another issue of q. s. bonds will be
necessary in order to bolster up the gold
reserve in the depleted treasury. Only a

famous by inveighing at great length
against the surplus the Republicans had
piled up in the treasury. Under Repub-
lican rule good part of the time there
was more money in the treasury than
they knew what to do with. But how
