JUNCTION CITY, oct. 20, 1884,
The Express of your city seems
sore of soul and grieved OF
gizzard because / advertised Judge
Noonan at Llano as an "independ-
ent" and not as dependent" can
didate for Congress on the Repub-
lican ticket. Has it taken the Ex-
press all these years to discover
that Judge Noonan does not wear
a party collar with an Express"
tag attached? The Express says
that my explanation does not ex-
plain. Will this Janus Of the
Texas press take dose of its own
medicine and explain it's own
ingram inconsistency and two
facedness, in fighting tooth and
claw for its "free trade" cadni-
date, while posing as the
great high priest and apostle of
"protecton"? Will the Express
explain why the ears Of its "free
trade" candidacy stick out so sud-
denly and conspicously above the
lion-skin of its false protectionism,
to the intense disgust OF the sheep
and cattlemen of this district, who
have hitherto accepted its profess
sions of protection faith as sincere?
VIII the Express explain why it
bowls like subsidized hound upon
the trail of it's candidate, who
brands as campaign lie" the
idea that he will protect the stock
interests of his district, when for
years it has been clamoring for the
protection of these same interests?
If the Express was sincere in its
advocacy of protection in the past,
how can it be sincere in it's present
support of Houston, the open and
sworn foe of protection Ii it did
not lie then how can it be telling
the truth now? Great as has been
its past experience in this line it
cannot serve at one and the same
time in the rival camp of sworn
foes, and take the pay of both. Its
recent utterances prove this, and
it's "Good Lord" for Houston drown
out it's "good devil" for protection.
So long as there was no danger of
electing a protectionist to Congress
from this district the Express was
singing praises to protection with
every breath, but so soon as its
free candidate is in danger Of
his scalp, the howl is raised against
every conspicuous advocate of the
protection candidate. Why does the
Express brand me in it's columns as
scamp follower" Why does A. w.
Houston tell the people on the
stump that l am "pot house
politician" and "disreputablew
For one and the same reason; to
discredit me before the public who
do not know that these aspersions
are false, in order to prevent my
effective advocacy Of Judge Noon
ans claims before the people of
this 18th congressional district;
because / am doing my level best
to elect Protectionist to Congress
a result for which the Express
has been so hypocritically praying
all these years. That my efforts
and work are not wholly valueless
is evidenced by these persistant
attempts to falsely discredit me
before the voters whom i address.
That the ISLANDERS have failed of
their effect will be manifest when
the votes are cast on the 9th day
of next November.

Letter from S. It. Davenport.

ED. REFORMER,
Sir:-In view of the article in the REFoRMER
of last week in regard to the nominations of the
Democratic county convention | feel called
Without discussing at this time the question as to
whose duty IL was to file said nominations, or
who might properly have filed Them / will and
do say that did not understand that acas er
pected to see to the filing Of said nominations and
If had that think l should have been rery
likely to hare attended to ii. In business matters
l am not in the habit of "sinning away the day
of grace" Two years ago was president of
the Democratic county convention. | did not
then file any certificate of nominations. certf-
icate was then presented to me by another per
son for my signature and oath. | signed and
made oath to the same This year a certificate
of nominations was presented to me by another
person for my signature and oath and imme-
diately signed and made oath to the same. ]
take little blame to myself in the matter and
think the public will take substantially the same
view if fuly informed in regard to the facts.
While claiming no want of good faith upon the
part of the REFoRMER, j do insist that the re-
Elections cast upon me in said article of last
week are unwarranted and unjust. regret the
situation in which the party is placed, but no
man need lose his vote thereby, and earnestly
hope that ereiy man will see that his vote is cast
and in way that it can and will be counted.
Respectfully, S. Il. DAVENPORT.
The statute is plain that it is the duty of
the president and secretary to make out the
certificate. Naturally it belongs to the secre-
tary to write it out, as was done two years
ago, and then, for the president to sign it. As
neither did this, in season, the fault rests
primarily with them, and then with the
county committee and the whole party AS
stated by the REFORMER last week.

The bill to make eight hours Il legal day
work in British mines may pass the Commons
at this session. 1t has passed its second read

EX-President Harrison thinks it obvious to
every one ''that the determination of the house
TO report special tarin bills will tend strongly
to prevent that business improvement which
might have resulted from any definite settle

so if the Republicans try to restore Mckinley

John Quincy Adams, grandson of the preSi
dent and son of Chas. Francis Adams, died at
his Quincy, Mass. home Tuesday from appo-
peXy at the age # 60. He was a man of large
ability, independent in his views and conduct
even to the point of eccentricity, but high in
his ideals and faithful to all duties. He was
an original free soiler in politics and one OF
the founders of the Republican party, but
left it during the reconstruction troubles, and
was for the next dozen years Democratic
leader. the party candidate for Governor from
1861 to II inclusive, candidate for Vice Presi-

tation by his speeches i'm South Carolina i'm

he urged upon the people the most progress

local offices in the town.
In their eagerness to sell goods, the manu-
facturers CFal River) have cut prices to a
ruinous point, and now that they have reached
the danger line by their own actions, they

The Truth About 1t.
TFrOm the Boston Herald,1

We hardly need say that, in our opinion.
the complete surrender which the house has
made to the senate in this matter is very re-
gretable, alike in its moral. its financial and
its industrial aspects. We regret it all the
more because we cannot think that it was
necessary.
As we measure the matter, the house was
"blutfed' throwing down its cards. when it
had coollv and courageously played its cards
for all they Were worth, it might have won
the game, or, at the lowest, have forced the
senate to divide the stake.
We admitAbat if the house was really i'm the
position in which the majority of the Demo-
cratic members believed it to be. if it was
shut down to choice between the acceptance
of the senate bill and the continuance of the
act. it did right to take the former.
Though distinctly less acceptable than the
house bill, the senate bill is, as we pointed out
long ago. an immense improvement on the
act.

WHY NOT zsIy6
HERE AND HEREAFTER.

No man who looks high can live low.
Wherever there is love there will be trust
The religion that costs nothing does nothing
No wound hurts like the one inflicted by a
friend.
No man can ever pray right who lives
wrong.
BE blessing, and you will be sure to re-
ceive one.
1t always helps the devil for Christian to
doubt the promises of God.
Missionary work is as important for the
Christians who do it, as the heather for
whom it is done.
Don't degrade your own Christian character
while raising money to develop the Christian
character of the heather.
Prayers that are not backed up by such ma
terial help as we are able to give do not rise
very high. We must seek to answer our pray
ers If we expect God to answer them.
1t is for active service soldiers are drilled
and trained and fed and armed. That is why
you and / are in the world at all--nOt to pre-
pare to go out of it some day, but to serve
God actively in it now.
1t is u curious, and yet not wholly unac-
countabe fact, that during periods of business
and social depression the saloon, the theatre
and the sensational publisher thrive as at no

penthe-and get it too, no doubt, in physical
and mental dissipation. But this does not JUS
tify the dissipation.
Sticking to ones work, anu not troubling
ones self about the doings of others, Is good
way of getting on in the world. When Peter
was exercised over the question whether John
was going to have longer term of service
than the other disciples, Jesus said to him:
"What is that to thee! Follow thou Me-" Our
duty is to attend to our own special work,
whether we are ahead of others or behind
them.
The world is ever full of human lives whose
eternal destiny seems to depend upon wheth-
er they meet cloud or sunshine, encourage
ment or Encouragement, hope or despair i'm
the faces that look into theirs. Guides some
times warn tourists among the Swiss noun
tains not to speak as they pass certain points.
Even the reverberation of whisper in the
air may start a poised avalanche from its
place on the crags. There are times in the
history of many human lives when they are
so delicately poised that it depends on how
the first person they meet greets them wheth-
er they sink into the darkness of despair or
lift up their head to find hope. We never
know when passing deed of ours may de-
eide "A SOUPS destiny. We dare not then, even
for a moment, or in one case be a discour-
ager of another soul.

HELP CAME AT LAST.
Even When a Learned Man Said Hope
Was Gone.
There is no hope for you"

''rhere Is no hope for you"
These words are all short you sec. Each has
but one syllable, yet they fall upon the human
heart like sledge hammer blows. mo hopeH'
If you have never heard the words addressed to
yourself, you are not likely to understand how
Mrs. Emenc Morgan, of Wavcrton, N. Y. felt
when her physician uttered them. In three
years of sickness she had taken a great variety
of medicines, that had one thing in common
their utter inability to cure. She was a prey to
the worst form of dyspepsia, and would never be
well, the doctor said.
A friend told her of Paskola the famous ar
tihcially dgestcd, fesh-forming food. Mrs
Morgan got two bottles. She writes under the
date of May I, 1894: "My stomach will bear
food now. When comm enced taking Paskoa,
could eat only one tablespoonful of meal made
in Cruel. Now i can eat almost anything
want, and, thank God have found cure at
last"
SO her condition was long way from being
hopeless.
This is the testimony of Charles Z. Isaacs, of
Alb Main ST., Worcester, Mass: "For the last
twenty-siN years, have been unable to use or
partake of any meat or fish and scarcely any
vegetables, being unable to retain the same. |
nave tried many doctors and countless patent
medicines. All were of no avail till took Pas
kola.
81 have used three large bottles and two half
size. and it has worked wonders. now eat
anything that is put upon the table. Heretofore
1t has been a torture.
"In four weeks have gained five pounds. l
feel like a new man. am recommending to my
friends, and still taking Paskola myself"
All reputable druggists sell Paskola. A Pam
phlet describing 1t will be sent free on applica-
