A Rlessinn Indeed,

What would this poor, weak humanity
do were it not for those strong, noble, rest
less spirits who are ever searching the cav
erns of knowledge for the good of man
kind? DR.. Greene, of 81 Temple Place, Bos-
ton, Mass, who few years ago gave to the
world that priceless boon, DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, has now
introduced another blessing for the sick
and suffering. He is the most successful
specialist i'm curing all nervous and chronic
diseases, and he offers to everyone, far and
near, the opportunity Of consulting him
free of charge through his system of letter
correspondence.
Write him about your complaint and
send for his symptom blank, and he will
return you an exact explanation Of your
case with advice, free OF charge, and tell
you how you can be cured. He gives most
careful and explicit attention to all letters
and his answer always gives the sufferer
a perfect understanding of the disease. II
you wish to avail yourself of this great
physicians skill, write him at once about
your disease and you viii undoubtedly be
cured.

DAVID DUDLEY FIELD.

David Dudley Field died yesterday.
He was 50 years old, the eldest of a
famous family of brothers. The emf
nent lawyers career at the bar
spanned sixty years and his most
notable work, was the codification
of the New York State laws, task that
covered 80 years. In his earlier politi-
cal life he was follower of Clay, CAL
houn, Van Buren, and Polk, and gene
ration later he was the friend and ad-
wiser of Lincoln, Greeley and Tilden.
He had no superior mt the American
bar. Personally he was man OF com.
manding figure, solderly bearing and
rare attractiveness. Once, when asked
as to what he attributed extraordinary
good health at his advanced age he said,
"first, strong constitution and, second,
hard work. Hard work never
killed any one. Idleness has slain
its thousands. Then, plenty of walking"
He died quite suddenly of pneumonia, a
disease which seems to have an especial
vindictiveness for strong men. His
ambition in life was to see his codes
adopted all over the world.

Is expected to raise the speed TO 30 words a
minute in the transmission of mes
sages indicates that il will revolu-
tionze the sending of submarine mes

lations with America than existed
before. This will quicken the two
continents in their thinking and
feeling, as we'll in their commercial relations.
1t is one of those subtle, yet important. agen-
cies by which the whole of mankind are con-
stantly being brought into closer relations,
man with man. At the present time the
news of the London and Paris
and Berlin papers is transmitted to
us with such speed and accuracy that
we are able to judge what is going
on in Europe with substantial COM
prebension of its import, and when this new
cable is in operation news of this kind will be
much more complete than it has ever been
before,

WILL COUNT OUORUMS.

The impossible has happened. In other
words, the Democrats in the House have
in caucus voted to adopt Reeds famous
"counting quorum" rule.
This Is year of political surprises on
the part of the Democracy and by this
time the country has got into that con-
dition where it is prepared to expect
anything from the Democracy, and SO
the announcement made above creates
less surprise that would ordinarily attend
such change of base on the part of a
great political party.
The eloquent burning words of con-
demnation with which the Democratic
orators denounced Car Reed and his
infamous" rule have hardly died away
in the recesses of the legislative
halls of Congress when they turn their
coats and sing praises to plagiarization
Of the rule they have denounced, and
vote in party caucus 10 adopt one like 1t.
The amount of crow eating that looms
up before the Democratic orators and
editors must be disheartening. Crow
may be very good diet occasionally.
The Republicans have had little
chance to try it and then
only as tonic after defeat,
but even as tonic it went down
hard but they have never tried it
in case of surrender of principles, and
this is the variety of crow that is now
offered to the Democracy by its leaders
in Congress.
In the graphic language of that distin-
guished Georgian who rose TO inquire
where he was at, the public puts the
same interrogatory to his party.
Where is the Democracy at?
Yesterday afternoon, after the failure
of the House to secure quorum, a
caucus of the Democrats was called and
after "A heated and angry session of three
hours they decided by vote of so to
Al to instruct the COMMITTEES
on rules to bring in a rule
"by means of which members present
and not voting may be taken into ac-
count in determining the existence or
non-existence of a quorum.
This complete backdown on the part
of the Democracy is an equally COM
plete vindication of the course of the Re-
publicans in the 51st Congress, and
Mr.. Reed may be pardoned if he smiles
quite audibly when the committee on
rules brings in their new rule. The
resolution which was adopted by the
caucus yesterday was presented by
Congressman De Almond of Missouri,
and was as follows:
Resolved, As the sense OF the caucus. that the
committee rules should report to the House a
rule or amendment 10 the rules, by means Of
which members present and not voting may be
taken into account in determining the existence
non existence OF n quorum and TO compel the at
tendance of absent members.
The House has not adopted the rule
as yet, but the Democrats must either
adopt it or violate the unwritten law of
the binding force of caucus agreements,
and the big majority by which the rule
passed the caucus yesterday leaves no
doubt that the former course will be
pursued.
The News begs to renew the assur-
ances of its most distinguished consid-
GRAFTON to the Hon. Thomas Bracket
Reed of Maine.

STRIKES CONTRIBUTING TO DIS.
TRESS.

In the weekly review of trade,
Dun's Commercial Agency reports
that "business Improvement is meet
ing with many obstacles and is
scarcely as distinct as it has been
i'm recent weeks" Chief among the
obstacles is reckoned labor troubles.
STRIKERS have checked the improvement
in building and some other trades, and
scarcity of coke, caused by strike, has
caused the closing up of iron works.
while general strike Of all bituminous
iron workers is ordered and may prove
serious"
Without entering into the consider
alton of any of the other obstacles in
the way of Improvement in business,
labor today is standing in its own light
by voluntarily ceasing work and stop
ping production,
This retards general prosperity, and
so long rs the industrial world is un-
settled by strikes just so long Will il be
impossible for revival of industrial
employment TO be brought about.
In ordinary time. when business is not
disturbed by threatened tariff changes,
and when the financial policy of
the government is not undergoing
change, strikes have a depressing effect
upon the business world and when they
are added to the uncertainties of tariff
legislation and doubtful financial policy
they simply put an absolute stop to any
reyival OF trade.
