One dozen bottles OF the genuine
Johann Hoff's Malt Extract gives as much
strength and nourishment as cask of
ale, without being intoxicating. 1t is
highly beneficial for use at meal time for
convalescents, weak children and ladies,
and as general tonic for the weak and
debilitated.
Insist upon the genuine Johann Hoff's
which must have the signature of "Johann

surprised to find such an admirably ap-
pointed and we'll furnished number OF

the students.
The various departments presided over
by competent teachers Is n feature OF this
school which takes an especial pride i'm
giving each scholar not only thorough
tuition i'm the branches desired, but added
to this are the very instructive lectures,
the gymnasium and military drill, which
insures physical development and instills
In the minds OF the students n respect for
governmental forces and enhances the
department OF the pupils. One thing
struck me as being a happy thought OF
the management aud thai was the large
school room for the juveniles, those boys
from 3 to 10 years, who enter the prepara-
tory department.. This room il furnished
with hairs and desks in miniature, so TO
speak, SO that tho little gentlemen may
rest their feet upon the floor like full
grown persons.
But these are minor details not es-

1t is claimed that President Cleveland
is opposed to the income tax proposed
BY the ways and means committed tn
this the president and Tammany are in
harmony with each other. Both have
plenty of followers and the Republican
party is of course solidly opposed to
such a war tax in the time of peace. The
income tax will probably never get much
further advanced until it walks up to the
slaughter and retires into that condition
so aptly described by an oft-quoted epi
gram of Mr.. Cleveland But Mr..
Cleveland knows that the big deficit o,
$40, 900. .000-according to Mr.. Carlisle's
latest revised igures-must be
met in some way and in cast
ing about for something to shoulder
this burden the crafty malignancy
OF the renegade Gresham came TO his
aid in order that he might still further
vent his spleen upon his former friends
and pointed out sugar. "Place tax
upon sugar and all will be well. The
sugar bounty can DO cut off and the rev.
enue will then meet the expected de-
ficit," says Gresham, with smile Of
satisfaction on his face as lie
adds sotto voce, ''and II will ge
square with the Blaine Harrison crowd
by multiplying their treaties of reclpro
city" But while it is easy to believ,
that the income tax proposition may be
killed, it is very doubtful if the admin
istration can so readily secure the plac-
ing of tax upon sugar.

WHY THIS HASTE!

The question may seem trifie inn
pertinent coming from Republican
paper, but isn't it n little too much like
crowding the inourners to rush through
tariff bill, totally changing the entire
business system Of nation, in fourteen
days time! The house has voted to take
final vote on the Wilson bill on
January %, and that means that
but III days consideration is to be given
10 the most important changes that have
ever been madei in legislation eifecting the
business and industrial condition Of a
nation of 70,000.00O of people. Vast
interests employing hundreds of thou
sands Of workmen and millions of cap
ital are to be disposed of. SO far as the
act OF legislating in or against their in
terests are concerned in few hours time.
However, the Democratic managers will
find that IL is by far easier to set date
for the taking of n final vote than they
viii to control the verdict of that vote.
The Wilson bill cannot pass in its pres
tit lOiiu anu ~ 10 uOuOtlui IL III Itu bt
amended and patched up so that it will
pass, for the reason that the opposition
TO the bill is itself divided
save the Republican opposition
and cannot concentrate strength
enough at any point to make an amend
ment without the aid of the Republic
cans, and certainly the Republicans will
not stultify themselves by joining issues
with Democratic protective specialists to
secure patchwork protection which
will protect certain interests and ruin
others. The Democrats must formu
late the tariff policy and pass it them
selves or announce their inability to do
so. The Republicans know only one
tariff and that is tariff for the pro.
lection OF our home markets and
American industries, with reciprocity
provisions to open up to us our natural
markets to the south OF US.

THE OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

Rhode Island is to be commended for
the aggressive stand she has taken against
any system that will encourage the in
roads of the destructive disease, tuber-
culosis.
Last year careful analyses of cattle
taken at random from all parts of the
tate demonstrated that the disease
urks unsuspected in nearly every farm
yard. Almost four-fifths of the cattle
.xamined showed some traces of the
dangerous and insidious disease. The
inspecti IN Of mich cows and beeves
in this state is now made
40 thorough as possible and the result
will be manifest. The disease is one
second only to cholera in malignity and
only careful and systematic insrec-
tion of cattle can prevent it from
spreading among both man and animal.

THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

The house Democratic caucus was
held last night, and was very char
monious.' The kickers did not kick,
and Speaker Crisp apparently whipped
his men into line and it was decided to
rush the tariff bill through with the
utmost celebrity. 1t is tue no
pledges TO obey the decision of the
caucus were asked, but it was
taciily understood that whatever was
decided upon last night would go. Per-
haps, but it is difficult to believe that
men as outspoken as the Democrats who
oppose the Wilson bill and the income
tax will quietly acquiesce in the decision
of the caucus and meekly vote
in favor of measures that they condemn
and which mean distress and suf-
fering to their constituents and their
friends and neighbors. There was al
together too much harmony, the whole
affair was to peaceful for it to continue.
Just what form the later developments
will take it is impossible to foresee but it
does not appear reasonable that the pro-
gram outlined can be carried out with
out "a fight.

THE MISSING LINKS.

The revised copy of the Hawaiian cor.
respondence sent to the house committee
on foreign affairs is enough to humiliate
every patriotic American citizen. Il
supplies the gaps that the public have
been so anxious TO ascertain and
presents President Cleveland in the
light of n dictator, pare and simple. A
private dispatch from Mr.. Willis to the
secretary of state, hitherto withheld
from the public, reveals an arrant act
on the part Of the president that entities
him to all the advantages Of impeach-
ment. BY order of the president, who
acted with neither the advice nor
consent of congress, Mr. Willis held
an interview with the deposed queen
for the purpose of making arrangements
looking TO the restoration. The COM
plete proposition was laid before her ex-
majesty, and only the fact that the
queen wanted more liberal terms pre-
vented the consummation, then and
there, of one of the most fragrant
acts of demagoguery the American ma
tion has ever seen. IL is small wonder
that the president, becoming frightened
at the storm OF public disapprobation
which was founded merely on suspic-
ion, desired TO withhold these traitor
ous dispatches from the public.
Aud this is the man Of sterling, OBJ
stinate, pugnacious integrity, whom
his supporters have prated so touch
ingly about for the past nine years

John Barker, who fills the role OF the old
Connecticut farmer in "A Nutmeg Match, /"
tells OF an actor who once took the leading
Juvenile part in n play in which Mr.. Barker
was the chief comedian. The leading juve-
nile was vain OF his mustache. whose ends
he had curled daily in a BARRIERS shop. One
evening he had just been shaved, and the
barber was putting on the finishing touches,
when n fire broke out in the building In
which the shop was located. The leading
Juvenile was one Of the first to flee.
1t was almost time for the performance
to begin, and he went at once to the the
ater. His role required him to wear ordi-
nary street clothes and to use no makeup
He had hardly reached the theater when
the moment came for his entrance on the
stage. He went on, assuming his most kill
ing air.
A shout of laughter from the audience
staggered him. He turned to mirror that
was used in the scene and saw with horror
that In the excitement due to the fire the
barber had neglected to remove the curl
papers from the ends of his mustache.-

as he is known as man who can be-

They may crate just AS diligently as

A CURIOUS SPECTACLE.

The strange spectacle has presented
itself to the people of this country since
the present session Of congress convened
of a party in power refusing to carry
out its pledges to the people or even
attempting to transact business of any
sort. The Democratic party went before
the people on the issue Of free trade. So
skilfully had they piled their arguments
that they were successful in their con.
tests far beyond their widest dreams,
and they became possessed Of the exc
cutive and both the legislative branches
of the government.
Called together in extra session dur
the summer by president of their own
political faith they were unable, in spite
Of their big majority in the house, to
carry out the policy of the administra-
tion, and if the Republican members
had not, in the interests and welfare of
the people, taken hold and aided them
the silver question would still be under
discussion.
The regular session couvenes. tariff
bill has been prepared by the ways and
means committee, and with over
hundred majority in the house, with
legislation which they claim is impera.
lively demanded by the people, they
have been unable to secure the atten-
dance of a quorum. There has fire.
quently been n quorum of Democrats
present, as repeated polls Of the house
by the party whips show,
but when roll call is
ordered the quorum is found
to be lacking. For three days. with
Democratic quorum present in the house.
but not voting, the work of the lower
Legislative branch has been at stand
still. and while the country is waiting
on the anxious seat for the final disposal
Of the Wilson bill. the Democratic legis.
lation have played hide and seek in the
corridors and cloak room of the house.
The reason Of course is apparent. They
are divided, bitterly divided among
themselves on the tariff question and
the income tax. The free traders are
sore because radical free trade meas
ure was not proposed. The low tariff
men are in fine fettle over their success
in obtaining low tariff, wale the
Democrats from the manufacturing die
trict like Stevens Of Massachusetts, or
