A A 1T.
Congressman Clark Ready for Il Fight.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, Oct. 19.-Quite
an amusing incident took place at
the Union Depot at noon yesterday.
Congressman Champ Clark had ar
rived from Perry, Rails county, and
was on his way to Spsldine Springs,
where he spoke last night. When
he boarded the NJ, K. & T. train,
there was a seeming prospect Of
Sblood on the moon" for about 9
minute, jor just as the distinguished
gentleman entered the smoking car
and was preparing TO be seated, with
the st. Louis Chronicle in hand, an
old granger remarked, in tones loud
enough to be heard by the former
81 believe every member of the
present Congress has his price, and
a good many of them have already
accepted it,"
BY the time the remark was fairly
finished, Mr.. Clark had taken hiE
seat, and without looking around hi
blurted out in tones strong enough
to bring down rain: ''If that re
mark is intended for my ears, it is
d lie, and I can whip the mai
that made it."
The train, however, pulled on
and left the old granger standing or
the platform, thankful to have es
capped a merited punishment.

Paste This in YOur Hat.

From the Knox County Democrat.
Hon. Champ Clark at Pertle
Springs recently made a great Dem
ocratic speech and used these words
in reference to those Democrats who
threatened to leave the party be-
cause of the few senatorial traitors.
Cut this out and paste it in your
bat so you can read it to a d~issatis-
fed Democrat:
"Nobody with two ideas above a
Hottentot aver discarded Christian
ity because Judas sold his Lord and
Master. No patriot deserted Wash
ington and Green and Putnam and
Mad Anthony Wayne because Ar
mold tried to destroy his country.
Nobody ever held it against Andrew
Jackson and Winfield Scott and
William Henry Harrison and old
Dick johnson that Gen. Hull base
ly surrendered Detroit.
Why, then, should true Demo-
Gratis and brave, who have done their
duty manfully, be punished for the
sins of a little band of senatorial
traitors? Above all, why should
any of us abandon the sacred cause
of Democracy-the only hope of
constitutional government on this
continent, or in this worId-because
a small coterie of selfish politicians
have played ussfalse?
Two things it is particularly
pleasant to remember: First, his
tory has gibbeted Judas Iscariot and
Arnold and Hull; second, the causes
which they betrayed finally triumph.
ed. And history repeats itself.
These modern traitors are pilloried
side by side with their ignoble pro-
totypes and the cause which they
betrayed will go forward to success

There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably
adapted to the purposes for which 1t
is intended, as ChamberIain's Pain
Balm. Hardly a week passes but
some member of the family has need
of it. A toothache or headache may
be cured by it. A touch of rheuma-
tism or neuralgia guieted. The severe
pain of a burn or scald promptly re-
leved and the sore healed In much
less time than when medicine has to
be sent for. A sprain may be prompt
ly treated before inflammation sets in,
which insures a cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive inn
mediate 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 Troublesome corn
may be removed by applying it twice
q day Tor a week or two. A lame back
may be cured and several days of val
liable time saved or a pain in the side
or chest relieved without paying a
doctor bill. Procure q so cent bottle
at once and you will never regret it.

ROBERTSON FOR PRESIDENT.
In the Event of Hills Downfall. a
Prominent Illinois Democrat
Thinks Morrison is
the Man.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 10.
-"Whether Hill is elected or de-
feated," said an Illinois Democrat
who takes a very active interest in
the politics of the State, to a Post
Dispatch correspondent, ''the result
will serve to clarity the atmosphere
so that we shall be able to see be-
fore us. In the event of Hills
downfall the Democratic nomination
is certain to go West. 1t will
eliminate the East from the situa-
ton for good"
"Will it go to Stevenson"
"Never. Though Hill may strain
the East, and scour the country for
Stevenson delegates, Stevenson
himself will not be able to muster
an Illinois delegation that will stand
pat for him. 1t is a popular mis-
take, this idea that Stevenson is a
State favorite and a great organizer.
AS a matter Of fact he is no organ
izer at all. He is a magnetic stump
speaker, a fine campaigner in the
harness, when others lay out his
work, but as for his organizing
ability he positively does not pos
sess any. His nomination for Vice
President was the result OF a trade
made contingent on certain condi.
tons affecting Morrison and Palmer
in the convention. How that turn
ed out every one knows, but in the
swap Stevenson was able to control
but n delegate, the Chairman of
his own county committee.
'This is unwritten story, but it is
a fact. HIS manager has always
been Ewing, his own law partner,
and since the Administration sent
him abroad on a diplomatic mis-.
sion the Vice President has no one
to groom him for the race in 1896.
Stevenson has broken his back in
Illinois in securing offices for too
many Of his cousins and relatives"

Execution.

Judge Hughes at 5o'cloek, p. M,
Friday, Oct. 10, 1894, sentenced Joe
Donnelly to hang on the 14th day of
December, 1894. The readers of the
LEDGER will remember that Dom
nelly was tried and convicted OF the
murder of Sam Turner. A motion
for a new trial was overruled and
Judge Hughes in a most impressive
manner pronounced the sentence of
death. An appeal was granted, bill
of exceptions to be filed within 80
days from date. The granting of an
appeal carries with it a stay OF exc
cutlon. The case will be carried to
the Supreme Court and a verdict will
likely be returned within the next
nine or twelve months. II the Su-
preme Court afiirms the finding of
the lower court it will fix the date OF
execution. Ii the case is reversed
and remanded it will come back for
a new trial. We understand that if
the Supreme Court confirms the
finding of the lower court a strong
petition will be presented to the
Governor asking him to commute
the sentence to life imprisonment.

The m b In Prices.

Inc tdIlu eloIulcts are up W tLoii
old political tricks; they are giving
facts and quoting figures. Nothing
can be meaner than this from a pro-
t~ectionist standpoint, and it is due to
the organs of protection to admit
that in all the bitterness of a political
campaign, no matter what may have
been the previous proyocation, they
have never permitted themselves to
descend to the low personalities in
volved in a presentation of relative
prices of the necessaries and com.
forts of life under McKinleyism and
under tariff reform. They leave that
for the opposition.
And the opposition is taking full
advantage of the opportunity. The
files Of the trades papers have been
consulted. Figures have been taker
from the Silk Journal, the IronAge:
Hardware, the Wool and Cotton Re
porter, the American Halter, the
American Grocer, the Dry Good:
Economist, the Clothier and Fur.
nisher, the Furrier, the Shoe anc
Leather Reporter, the Saw Mil Ga
zette-in short, from every organ o
every conceivable industry. The
result of this inquiry has been in al
respects favorable to the friends of
reformed tariff. 1t is demonstrated
that prices in nearly every depart
ment of trade have fallen. In short
as one speaker expresses it, a dolla
to-day will buy from 10 to % pc.
cent more than it bought a year ago
and the effect of a decrease in duties
has been opposite to that produced
by the Mckinley bill of 1890, which
sent prices soaring. And not only
are the prices more reasonable to tn
consumer to-day, but promise to b.
still further reduced when the new
tariff bill shall be in complete oper'
alton in all its particulars
So much for the confessions of tn,
newspaper organs of the trades. Blu
such confessions are not wholly nee
essary, for the shopper has found IL
his or her own experience how muci
further a dollar will go in the pur
chase of good materials. But it vii
not be heard in the political meeting
where the Republican orator is wall
ing over the calamity and the misery
of the land, and it will not be read
in the Republican newspaper organs
save in the weekly trade reports and
an occasional advertisement tina
happens to escape the eye of the pc
litical editor. Yet the people ar,
quick to see for themselves and they
will not u%ndervalue the blessing
of an economic measure which prac
teal experience teaches them haG
cheapened the necessaries of life.
