Hon. John s. Wise and Russell Harri


INDIANAPoLIs, IND, March 2s.-
John s. Wise, Congressman from
Virginia, who is here engaged in a
street railroad suit, had an alteration
yesterday with Russell Harrison, son
of Benjamin Harriron. Mr.. Wise made
a statement in court, and Mr. Harrison
said: That's false Judge Woods
admonished Harrison and the affair
passed
. When court adjourned Harrison left
the room and Mr.. Wise followed In Q
few minutes Mr.. Harrison hurriedly
returned and demanded the pro-
lection of the court. Then Mr.. Wise
came in.
II only asked for an apology" he
said, land Harrison replied by running
in here and demanding protection"
Judge Wood managed to smooth
things over so that there was no clash.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets intiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

The Poetic Private Secretary of the
President.

The Hon. Elijah A. Halford used to
console the Hon. Benjamin Harrison's
hours of WEAKNESS or depression by his
sweet and pensive whistling. The
present private secretary, the Hon.
Henry f. Thurber, has the same gift
of ingenious song, but prefers the
written or spoken word to the whistled
one. He is understood to compose
poem every day except Sunday and he
never fails to read them to his appre-
ciative chief. Their character may be
judged by the specimen lately address
ed by Mr.. .Thurber to the Hon. Harry
st. George Tucker, a member of Con-
gress from Virginia. Mr.. Tucker was
much interested in a bill to pay GER
tain war claim to the Washington and
Lee University. The bill was passed
by both Houses, and Mr.. Tucker took
it to the White House for signature at
an early hour on Sunday, March 8. He
implored the faithful Thurber to get
him an interview with the President
The thing was no use, said the great
mans great man. Mr. Cleveland was
overrun with work, and had given
strict orders that his invisibility should
be respected. All that the poet would
promise to do was to take charge of
Mr.. fuckers bill and try to get it sign
ed In the course of the morning. In a
few hours Mr. fuckers heart was made
happy by the following impromptu
poem sent by the poetical secretary,
the John Milton, of Michigan.
Dear Mr.. Tucker;
Before l close my weary eyes
| write this letter to apprise
That Senate bill four fifty four
Has been approved. As nothing more
Need now be said,
I'll dOuSe the glim'
And go to bed
Yours, II. F. IT,
There is something which touches
the heart of the student of poetry and
deserves place in literary history in
the thought of the melodious Thurber
weary but ever vigilant in the service
Of the muse, dashing off this brilliant
little poem while waiting and longing
for bed. 1t is no wonder that Mr..
Cleveland, although he has manifested
little taste for books not written by
himself, should find a pleasure in the
poetical productions of his gifted pri-
waite secretary. We trust that at least
a selection of them may be given to
the public at an early day -,
Just on those poetical lines Tucker
got his bill signed at almost the last
hour of the session and Washington
and Lee University get it's $17,500 wal

NO Convention.

No Convention to amend the Con.
stitution of the State should be called.
If the Constitution needs amendment
it should be done by the Legislature
subject to ratification by the people,
as the Constitution provides. This is
not only the cheaper, but the safer
mode. A Convention to amend the
Constitution would cost $150,000, and
the State expenses now greatly exceed
it's revenues. The expenses chiefly
complained of can be reduced by the
Legislature. If the whole Constitution
is to be changed by Convention, no
man can foresee what its character
will be. Let those parts that need
amendment, be amended by two sue
cessive Legislatures-proposed by them
and Jatified by vote of the people as
the Constitution provides. Let us
keep on the safe and economical side

Senator Frye says: Just as soon as
we get the chance we will revise the
tariff. and on the Old lines, too. The
tariff will be framed on the lines of the
Mckinley bill, the best tariff measure
ever enacted. Mckinley did not make
that bill. Reed, of Maine, had more
to do with it than Mckinley, for as
Speaker of the House he secured its
passage There is no doubt of the
fact that if the republicans regain con-

A PRACTICAL VICTORY FOR SILVER.


 Between the devil and the deep sea because of the internicine conflict raging in their own party on the sil- yer question, democratic newspapers are endeavoring to make much capi- tai of the fact that the republican league convention in session at Cleve- land last week made no declaration on that important subject. At the first thought there would seem some ground for such criticism; but with later and fuller accounts coming to hand it would seem that this action of the convention was practically a victory for the silver element. It is now known that many of the eastern delegates entered the convention de- termined to force adoption of decla- ration for the single gold standard. They found opposition so strong and silver sentiment so rapidly growing, in their own ranks even, that they were compelled to abandon their plan and consent to relegation of all is- sues to the national convention next year.
 With the rapid growth of free silver sentiment in the east this augurs well for the cause. By leaving the issue to the sober judgment of the masses of the party for calm and dis passionate reflection and discrussion time is given for settlement of the question right, and without the great heat and friction which would have surely resulted from split at Cleve- land this year. Had such a split oc- cured two antagonistic factions would have gone forth from the con- vention, nursing wounds inflicted by each other which would have never healed. Those who are honest in their support of the single gold stand ard have had an object lesson they will not forget, and next year many of them will be found arrayed on the side of silver; when a split now and it's consequent i'll feeling would have prevented their ever getting there.
The oasis., 1895-06-29

WITH all their sounding of tin horns and beating of tom toms about the revival of business and advances in wages under the Wilson bill, there has yet got to follow quintuple ad- vance over that already having oc- cured before the figures will be reach- ed in either which prevailed under the Mckinley bill.
The oasis., 1895-06-29

DEMOCRATIC journals and Free Trader Wilson are foolishly strutting forth an assertion that the revival of business is due the democratic ad- ministration and the operation Of the Wilson bill. The actual case is that 1t is due the fact that the end of the democratic administration is in sight, and that good American doctrine is coming to the fore.

The same paper asserts that removal will ensue, and that ex- Senator Martin of Kansas is the com ing governor of Arizona. This is given for what 1t is worth.
