Attempted Train Robbery.

TOLEDO. Jan. 22.-An attempt was
made to wreck the passenger train on
Lake Erie and Western railroad at the
crossing of the Nickel Plate railroad
about six miles west of Fostoria, Sat

as to show it to be the work of amateur
train robbers. The split bar was

SPRING STORY.
A Few Things You Ought Surely to do at
This Season.

In the spring we feel tired, lanquid
and debilltated. The change from cold
to warm weather causes a depression
of the vital forces resulting in an mac
tive state of the stomach, liver, bowels
and kidneys. Headache is common,
and the blood undergoes changes which
greatly debilitate the system.
The complexion is apt to be sallow.
and dark circles gather under the eyes.
If something is not done to overcome
these conditions, they will last indef-
initely and may result in severe sick
ness. Read the experience of the well
known Mrs A. A. Herrick, of 40 Eve
rett Street, East Somerville, Mass.
1.-TWO years ago l contracted a very
severe cold that settled all over my
body. My head and left side panied
me all the time. had no appetite and
could not sleep at all nights. l was SO
nervous l thought l would be insane
and any work seemed like a mountain
ahead of me.
81 would become completely exhaust
ed on the slightest exertion. l was
obliged to give up and take to the bed
HAY there several weeks but got no bet
ter. l began to fear l should never gel

THE LAW OF LIBEL.-As the IndeG
appeal says, the newspapers of New
York, influential and powerful as they
are in shaping and directing public
opinion, have been no more success
full in their fight for just and reason.
able legislation regarding-libel than
were their brethren of eVirginia Press
association. The fight in New York,
as in Virginia, was for actual damages
as against punitive damages, and
against the onerous and absurd rule of
evidence which arbitrarily assumes
malice in libellous publications, there
by withholding from honorable pub
fishers the protection which the law
throws around burglars and three card
monte men in assuming that they are
innocent until their guilt is proved.
But this is not the end of the fight,
either in Virginia or in New York. The
opposition to the demands of the news
papers for just and reasonable legisla-
ton on this subject is the outgrowth
partly of ignorance and partly of preju-
dice. 1t is measure of justice that
must come sooner or later, and will be
hastened by a campaign of education
that will create an irresistible public
sentiment in behalf of right and jus
tice.

THE PRESIDENTS VETO.

On Thursday last, the President sent
his message to Congress yetoing the
Seigniorage Bill, giving his reasons
therefor at some length, making his
message too long for publication in
full in this paper, and we must content
ourself with giving a brief summary
of his leading objections. He reviews
our financial condition, and says that
recovery being so we'll under way, moth
ing should be done to check the con-
valescence. His main objections to the
bill are its unfortunate construction,
nearly every sentence inviting a con-
troversary of construction, and that it
will not maintain the parity of the two
metals. He says the present perplexi-
ties and embarrassments of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury ought not to be
augmented by devolving upon him the
execution Of law SO uncertain and
confused. He is convinced that the
scheme proposed by the second section
of the bill is ill-advised and dangerous,
and that its ultimate result would be
to replace legal tender Treasury notes
by silver certificates, which are not
legal tender. He closes by urging the
desirabilfSy of granting to the Secre-
tary better power than now exists to
issue bonds to protect the gold reserve.
If this could be done he thinks the
bullion seigniorage now in the Treas
ury could be safely coined
The following is an extract of the
message
when it is proposed to initiate our
silver currency it is time for strength
ening our gold reserve instead of de
pleting il. l can not conceive of long
er step toward silver recommendation
than we take when we spend our gold
to buy silver certificates for circulation,
especially in view of the practical diff
ficulties surrounding the replenishment
of our gold. This leads me to earnest
ly present the desirability of granting
to the Secretary of the Treasury bet
ter power than now exists to issue
bonds to protect our gold reserve when
for any reason it should be necessary.
Our currency is in such confused con-
ditiOn and our financial affairs are apt
to assume at any time SO critical posi-
ton that it seems to me such course
is dictated by ordinary prudence. 1
am not insensible to the arguments in
favor of coming the bullion seigniorage
now in the Treasury, and l believe it
could be done safely and with advan-
tage, if the Secretary of the Treasury
had the power to issue bonds at a low
rate of interest under authority in sub
stitution of that now existing and bet
ter suited to the protection of the
Treasury"

The South the Place for Investments

By the operation of natural causes,
the South is the place for safe ant
profitable investments, and it will not
be long before this fact will be under
stood and appreciated by persons in
the North and West who have capital
there is more money in the country
now than ever before. AS the United
States InUeStor says, the time is fast
approaching when the South will be a
favorite field for the investment of
Northern capital. The New England
and Middle States have for long time
been in the position of old countries,
having more accumulated wealth than
they could employ at home. An out
let must be found for this. Not only
for this reason does the South promise
to be an attractive field for invest
ments, but for another, which may not,
on the first glance, be welcomed by a
large part of the population of the
North We refer to the fact that, in
the opinion of good judges, many in
dustries now carried ON in the New
England and Middle States can be more
advantageously prosecuted in the
South, or nearer the supplies of raw
materials. In pursuance of this idea,
certain Massachusetts corporations
have recently asked for increases in
their capitalization tor the avowed
purpose of erecting plants in the
South.
Comparatively speaking, the South
is in better condition to-day than
many other sections of the country
The panic of 1893 was much less keenly
felt in that locality than elsewhere
Consequently the feeling of discourage
ment is not as great there to-day as il
the West and North. Therefore, a
business revival may be looked for in
the South as quickly as anywhere else,
and this fact of itself, to say nothing of
it's special inducements to investors, is
likely to command the attention of the
possessors of money throughout the
entire country.

Prince Bismark was seventy nine
years old Sunday, and the occasion was
made memorable by one of the greatest
popular demonstrations yet given in
honor of the ex chancellor. Thousands
of people called at Friedrichsruhe to
pay their respects.
1t is reported from Honolulu that the
native royalists, seeing that restoration
is impossible, now favor annexation as
the best way out of the trouble. The
Queen is said to be anxious to secure a
bounty.

mains of Louis Kossuth began in

MeddIesnmp Wemen.

The National Christian League for
the Promotion of Social Purity, at a
meeting in New York, resolved to ad-
wise Mrs. Breckenridge to desert her
husband. Who are the members of
this society? Who made them the
guardians of purity? What new light
have they received that they should
assume to give advice unasked They
deserve the medal for meddlesomeness,
as Mrs. Darlington said to Ike. The
Bible, which most people in this coun-
try respect, says: What God hath
joined together let no man put asun-
der" For aught we know the mem
bers of this society may be immaculate;
but that doesn't give them a right to
set up a new rule contrary to the scrip
lures and to common sense. If Mrs.
Breckenridge "has spark of woman
hood in her. she will spurn the advice
of these self-appointed guardians
