GRANT FOR REFORM.
Tells What He Proposes to Do u Elected Mayor
Of New York

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Sunday is always
q quiet day with politicians. AT the polit-
ical headquarters in this city yesterday the
work of correspondence was carried on as
usual, but there were few visitors. At the
Grant headquarters Mr.. Grants letter OF
acceptance of the Tammany nomination
was made public.
In his letter Grant says among other
things: wherever the responsibility lies,
police blackmail and corruption are in
tolerable. join every right-minded cltl-
izen in its condemnation and desire for It's
punishment. The root of the evil, how
ever, lies in the system, and now that pup-
lie attention has been attracted and pup-
lie support guaranteed, l shall, If elected,
do all in my power to hasten correction
of every abuse.
81 advocate the thorough reorganization
of the police department on such basis as
will render it impossible for such corrup-
ton as has prevailed to continue or exist
1.-THE success of the municipal ticket
should be subordinated to the defeat OF
the reapportionment and the election OF
the Democratic state ticket"
At Republican headquarters long dis
at once given out for publication to the
effect that the employees in the state de-
partments there were employed in prepar-
ing and distributing thousands OF cam
paign documents in the interests of the
Democrats. The dispatch says In part:
'sThe campaign work which should be done
by the Democratic state committee Is thus
forced upon state departments and paid
for from the state treasury. These docu-
ments are printed by State Printer James
B. Lyons, and large force of the depart
ment clerks are taken from their duties to
the state to shove out, in individual en-
velopes, Hills campaign documents
In Democratic circles the start today OF
Governor Flower on tour through the
state in the interests of the Democratic
state ticket is arousing good deal OF in
terest because of the master stroke the
Democrats claim Chairman Thatcher has
made in securing the services Of the gov
ernor on so important mission.
There has been disposition on the part
of the various organizations here to make
public their allegiance to the respective
tickets The executive board Of the
grand lodge of the Independent Order of
Sons of Benjamin, however, resolved not
to permit the use of its name in connec-
ton with politics.
This decision was arrived at at meet
ing of the board yesterday, at which reso-
lutions were adopted repudiating any at
tempt to make use of the order for any
political purpose whatever. This action
was taken because, it was said. an at
tempt had been made to represent the or
der as opposed to the candidacy OF Senator
Hill.

VHl1 Ais NY nerves.
They Are Almost Driving Me
Crazy.
Thew Won't Let Me Work and They
Spoil My Pleasure.
Here is q Way to Have Nerves Like s'ee'
Just Read This.

Thousands of people feel this way.
Their nerves are weak and irritable, they
pass sleepless nights waking in the morn
ing, tired and unrefreshed, with bad taste in
the mouth, and dull feeling head. They
feel nervous, blue and discouraged, often
having sense of anxiety and apprehen-
sion, as of some impending danger.
They feel they have lost their nerve pow
er and much of their energy and ambition.
They declare themselves as "feeling just
good for nothing" This was so with Mrs.
N. H. Clark, a prominent and well-known
lady of Moretown, Vt. She writes the
following unusually interesting letter.
"For some time have been fearfully
prostrated with nervous weakness. l was
continually without strength and unable to
do nv work. was completely tired out,
and my nerves were so weak I was good
for nothing.
81 could not sleep nights / was so weak
and nervous, and when | arose IN the morn
ing, was as tired as when | went to bed,
and sometimes even more so. was entire
ly used up and miserable. l had no appe-
tite, and the little food l could eat dis
tressed me awfully.
IL had constant fear and dread that
something was going to happen. l also
had a cough and bronchitis. l employed
doctors and took medicines constantly, but
without benefit. At this time friend who
had used DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, and been cured by it,advised
me to try it.

own house through the window, and is in a
precar.ou condition, suffering great pair
from the wound in her shoulder, caused
BY the entrance of the bullet, which has
not yet been extracted. Her husband is in
the lookup awaiting an examination. 1t
is clear that the shooting was accidental.

purpose of assassinating him.

Poaren WAS DEFAULTER.
Admitted Guilt and MS Now Thought His
Sudden Death was Seii-inflicted.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills. Oct. 29.-The auditor
TODAY concluded the examination of the af-
fairs of the Normal Park Loan
of which the late F. W.
Porter was secretary; having been
also auditor of the Rock Island Railway.
The examination developed the fact that
Mr.. Porter was defsulter to the extent of
s23 900. This defalcation was admitted by
Mr.. Porter in letter written the day before
his sudden death at Grand hotel, Cincin-
natl. The facts in the case were suppressed
until now, owing to the belief that the
friends and relatives of Mr.. Porter would
make good the amount of the defalcstion.
There are indications that the defaulter did
not die of apoplexy, as the physicians said,
but committed suicide.

BIG FALLING OFF
In The Importation Of Sugar Since Passage Of
tie Wilson Bill.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 90 - The importa-
tions of sutrar show remarkable falling
off during September, the first month al
ter the new tariff law went into effect. In
July there were imported 765, ,0OO,O 600
pounds. compared with 293, 100000 in the
same month of 1898; in August, 145, 5,000,-
b)O. as against POI, 100000 pounds for the
same pcriod in 1898. The enormous dis
parity between the two July months was
due probably to the efforts to get all the
sugar possibly into the country before the
new law went into effect, and this may
account for the unusually small figures
that are given for September.
During the latter month, which shows
the first fruits of the new tariff act, the
lmportations aggregated less than i56, OOo,-
900 pounds valued at 81, 10000.
The Total Value of the Importations
of sugar for the fiscal year 1893 was $l1S,-
900, 600, and for 1894, 1927, 100000. The
duty in tho present act was based upon
the importation for the first named year
and the established revenue to be derived
therefrom was placed at S42, 900, 600, or S3,
500, 900 per month.
The total value of last months importa-
tions falls short of the established rev.
enucs by more than $4,000, 600 This may
be due to the glut in the sugar market,
caused by orders antedating the Wilson
bill.
OF the 55, 900, 900 pounds imported in Sep
tember, 100000 of it came in free, and
every pound of it from the Hawaiian
Islands.
Not pound of beet sugar came in free
last month, while before the law was
changed there We're imported in August
ovcr 100000 pounds, and in July over
D, 900. Seven million pounds of beet
sugar were imported during the month,
upon which the
New Duty Was Collected.
It is the discriminating duty against
German beet sugar that has caused the re-
taliatory tactics of that country. This
auty-1-l0 Of II cent per pounds levied
only against such countries as pay an ex-
port, and rs Germany alone does this, Ger
many ranks second in the amount Of
sugar sold to the United States.
In sugars not above No. 16 Dutch stand

POLITICAL POINTS.

1t is comiug--the Crawford county system
in holding primaries.
There is an unusual stir in local political
circles.
A hard and spirited campaign this year.
The First ward will be the scene of an in
teresting fight at the next election.
The candidates for local Offices are hustling
and we hope the contests will be friendly.
Anthony Flynn, the present High Constable
wants to be re elected. He has been good
official ard leads all his competitors in the
Democratic ranks.
The st. Clair SpIinters says Hon. Elias
Davis will be a candidate for the shrievalty
next fall.
There are at least FIVE candidates seeking
the nomination for Council in the Thirf
ward on the Citizens ticket, and nearly as
many in the Second.
George Burns, of the Second ward, is
announced for High Constable. He is seek.
ing the nomination on the Democratic ticket.
Judging from the number Of candidates
seeking nomination at the hands of the Citi-
Ntuo party lilt thAllb AlIktl blOulu Ut tlbil-
ed. This depends, however, upon the good
faith Of the different aspiants. Let harmony
prevail, no matter who the successful NOM
inees may be, and success is assured.
There is a spirited contest in the various
wards for Council.
Obiector Whitehouse struck a brick wall
when he tackled the Bar Association. Few,
if any, politicians are infallible.
Let the Citizens nominate good men for
School Board in the various wards, and some
of the lost ground may be regained by that
party.
This week the political caudron commences
boiling early and a number of new candidates
have been announced The latest, but not
least is Charles II. Hagenbuch, the North
Main street druggist, who is seeking the Citi-
mems nomination for Chief Burgess. Mr.. Tia
genbuch lisa popular young man and has hosts
offriends in both parties. He served as school
director three years with strict fidelity and
