TILE DILEMMA.


I can write a pension veto IN a way 10
make you spring, .
And when 1t comes TO silver lls JUST
such another thing;
On a soldiers helpless widow can
press my heavy thumb,
And so ii Is when congress seeks 10
coin the vacuum.
Before 1 crossed the White House Sill
wrote little rede
Concerning silver coinage, but the cum
gress took no heed;
Since then I've thought the matter oer'
and / am not in doubt,
shall not sign, but disapprove, though
no one helps me out
The wild and woolly west said / should
sign straightway; ,
The sunny south was for the Dill, tht
local colonels say;
And as the way that they proposed
now have failed 10 go,
The populists do call me names, ailc
that offends me so.
If could find some far-on isle Where
might rest in ease,
Some peaceful and sequestered spot II
far Pacific seas,
Where | could sit upon the wharf ant
fish the long day through,
I'd HE me there, apart from men-that
just what / would do.
&C.

The news of the failure Of Mr.. Glad
stones eyesight has the confirmation
that an operation Ii about to be per-
formed on each eye. The truth is, the
Inevitable wear of years shows first in
Mr.. Gladstone's eyes, which he has
overtasked, and the blow falls there. A
few days ago Mr.. Gladstone wrote let
ter addressed to the chairman of the
Midlothian liberals-the ex-premiers
constituents. He apologized for
troublesome cough and cannot Judge to
what extent the condition of his sight
and hearing will disable him from per-
forming duties as member of the
house. He says he considers his career
as beginning with the reform act of
1882, 80 that he has had more than sixty
years Of public life The letter naturally
relates to Scotch affairs. The "discrep-
ancy Of sentiment between the two
houses of parliament is lamented to an
extent, and is "in such form as win
demand at no distant day conclusive
judgment from the constituencies, and
Mr.. Gladstone is deeply convinced that
until the first demands of Ireland are
satisfied. as the house of commons tried
to satisfy them. neither will the legis-
lative wants Of any portion OF the
United Kingdom be adequately met, nor
will the empire attain the maximum OF
its union and power. nor British honor
be effectually cleared of the deepest his
toric stain ever attached to It,"

further remarks: THE old parties are
so absolutely hampered and dominated
by the money influence that tremend-
Gus responsibility is thereby placed
upon the peoples party. The grievances
Of the people are very great and the
need of relief is most urgent The
meaning Of this is that the old parties
are not in favor openly Of violating all
contracts and Of relief for the people by
the payment of debts in debased cur
rency. There is still a prejudice in some
parts of the country against a sneak
ing system of con6scation.

CROSSING THE ATLANTIC

Usually involves sea sickness. When
the waves play pitch and toss with you,
strong indeed must be the stomach that
can stand 1t without revolving. Tour
lists, commercial travellers. yachtsmen,
mariners, all testify that Hostetters
Stomach Bitters is the best remedy Tor
the nausea experienced in rough wealth
or on the water. Nervous and weakly
travellers by land often suffer from
something akin to this, and find In the
Bitters its surest remedy. No disorder
of the stomach, liver or bowels Is so OBJ
stlnate that 1t may not be overcome by
the prompt and thorough remedy,
Equally efiicacious is 1t for chills and
fever, kidney and rheumatic trouble and
nervousness. Emigrants to the frontier
should provide themselves with this fine
medicinal safeguard against the effects
Of vicissitudes of climate, hardship, eX-
posure and fatigue.

OF course the New York bankers gen
orally were deeply concerned about the
issue Of more paper on deprecated
security, and they thought they had the
promise Of the secretary Of the treas
ury that the Bland bill would not be al
lowed to materialize. 1t was impossible
there should be contract; but they
thought they had what amounted to an
understanding that there was an honor
able obligation. Otherwise the New
York money would not have been turn
ed into the treasury for bonds. A rup-
ture between the New York money busl-
ness men and the secretary of the treas
ury would have been a serious Shock
and the joy Of the populists would nave
been great; but President Cleveland
could not well afford to antagonize the
most powerful Of his friends, and at the
same time lose the reputation for sound
ness of Judgment in financial matters
which he gained in connection with his
course in the repeal of the Sherman
law.

Fire at SharpSburg.

The two-story frame dwelling-house
of Daniel Nose at Sharpsburg was de-
stroyed by fire early last Thursday
morning. The fire was discovered
about half-past 4 o'clock. There was
great excitement. Despite the early
hour at which the fire broke out, a
large crowd of people soon gathered
about the building, on which the
flames were feeding rapidly. The
family had just time to dress themselves
and made their escape from the burn
ing building without hurt. In the
excitement of the hour, Mrs. Nose
had forgotten to take her baby from
the room when the balance of the fam
lily hurried out. Already the fire
was gaining such Roadway that it was
feared for a time that the infant,
sleeping peacefully and all uncon-
scious of the impending danger which
threatened its life, could not be saved
But one of the family rushed through
the now smoking apartments, snatched
the babe from its CRIB and soon after
placed it in the arms OF its anxious
mother. The bucket brigade was out
in full force and did all 1t could to
check the fire, but the building was
doomed and after an hours burning
nothing remained but piles of ashes
and half-burnt timbers and the foun'
dation walls. Only few articles o.
furniture were saved. The loss vii
probably amount to $1,000. There
was no insurance. 1t is not known
how the fire was started.
