While in Chicago, Mr.. Charles l..
kahler, prominent shoe merchant of
Des Moines, Iowa, had quite a serious
time of it. He took such u severe cold
that he could hardly talk or navigate,
but the prompt use of Chamberlain S

so quickly that others at the hotel who
had bad colds followed his example and
half dozen persons ordered it from
the nearest drug store They were pro

1t was October, and the evenings
were warm and golden at home, and
the foliage gorgeous in its bright de

There stood three persons Ned Nor

She was quite insensible, and Ned

LOVES AFTERMATH.

Not here, but there,
Not near nor far;
No nighttime then,
Nor moon nor star
No meeting smile to turn to sigh
And breath its bitter wall Goodbyi
Not here, not here
Too dim, too sad
This doubling world
Yet therc-all glad!
The loving eyes carth's shadows yelled,
The tender clasp we deemed had failed

Loved, lost, rcgAincd-
win thrill us there
With love unfcigncd
But how we know not; all Is rest
They are our oWn-GOd'S ways are best
That one we ioyed
Perhaps too well.
Can love love so?
We cannot tell
That one in Gods sweet holy place

The msts OF pain all passed away,
All lost in that long, loving LAY =

Cleveland and Republicans.

From the New York sun
In less than five weeks Mr.. Cleveland
will have Republican Congress on his
hands. He will be powerless to promote
any measure of policy, or to realize any
idea of craftsmanship, without the con-
sent and assistance of political party 10
which he does not belong. II he calls an
extra session and asks for this legislation
or that legislation, his recommendation
will be no more than appeals to the mag
nanimity Of his opponents. lie cannot
command: he must beg or be silent.
The fourth Of March VIII begin a new
chapter Of an extraordinary career. For
two years Mr.. Cleveland has held Office
not only as President, but as the nomina!
leader of party in control of all the ma
chinery Of the government. Had he been
anything more than nominal leader,
had he possessed the confidence, and
commanded the support Of his Own party
in Congress. had he been ableto get along
personally with the Democrats of the
Senate and the House, there Is nothing
that Mr.. Cleveland could not have ac-
complishe1 for Democracy and for the
country. The two years during which
the Democratic party has held full power
for the first time since Buchanan's ad-
ministration, have been as void of
achievement rs if Mr.. Clevelands hands
were lied by an adverse majority in each
house Of the congress. The record of the
two years Of fell control is an unbroken
story of non-accomplishment disappoint-
meut. failure, not merely ia regard TO one
matter. bat to all matters.
We are trying 10 state in moderate Ian
guage a fact which has no parallel in po-
litical history. Never before has an
American president, not in actual and
open strife with the party which elected
him. figured Is an impotent while his
own political friends ran the Congress.
Historians viii marvel at the circum-
stance. Philosophers will frame theo-
ries The fact viii remain.
VIII Mr.. Cleveland be better of, or
worse of. with the Republicans in con-
troll Of Congress? We think that his po-
sition Will be greatly improved Men
often get by asking what they cannot OBJ
tain by the use of the imperative mood.
Mr.. Cleveland's growing habit Of person
al seclusion. and his reluctance - seek,
accept. or even tolerate advice or sugges-
lions from the leaders ef the Senate or
House, can then be attributed to the dig
niiied reserve imposed 10y political Ell
quette. instead of 10 churlishne-s OF meg
alomania, as al present when the leaders
of the Senate and the House are of his
own party. More than all. he can prom
ise and promise without the responsible
" of performance. and can enunciate
principles to almost any extent with the
knowledge that the practical test viii
never be applied II his utterances.
ON the whole. Mr. Cleveland viii be
happier with a Republican Congress on
his hands than he has been with Demo
cratic Congress there; and. on the whole,
we are inclined 70 believe that the De
mocracy will be happier likewise.

Hin DENIES THE CHARGE
J.F. Hilchen Addresses a Strong
Letter to Rev. Missmer.
THE GERMAN BEEF BOYCOTT.
1t Applies to Canada as Well as to
the United States Efforts to
Arrange It.


S. Paul, Dec. 31.-J. f. Hilcher, grand
chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of
Minnesota, today addressed letter to
Rr. Rev. S. G. Missmer. of Green Bay,
Wis., regarding the interview given out
by the latter ON the decree of the Ro-
man Catholic church, putting a ban on
Odd Fellows. and Knights of Pythlas.
In the interview Rev. Mlsmer said;
There never had been an objection to
Catholics belonging to the lower degrees
of any Of these secret societies. in these
degrees men are only banded together
for mutual benefit and pleasure. But
in the higher degrees the principles and
teachings the societies are distinctly
anti-cihrlstian, and contrary to the prln-
ciples of THE Catholic church."
as Les: II deny the charge
you make against the order of knights
of Pythias, and publicly challenge
you to prove your assertion. You owe
this TO the American public, to your
own church. and in special manner
to the societies to whom your ACCUSE
tion falls"

LATEST FROM SILVER LAKE.

klamath Fails, Dec 31.-The latest
news of the holocaust ait Silver Lake
reached here today by a LnlSevlew
stage-driver, Bob Oglesby, who says
THAT the reports sent out by the Asso,
clated Press ARE correct. with the ex-
ception THAT one more body was found
in the ruins, which makes a total Of AZ
lives lost. The great distance to Silver
Lake from this place, the deep snow
and the general bad weather. have
made communication next TO impossi.
BILE. OF the disposition of the dead and
injured nothing is known here. The
situation, however, must be terrible.
How the dead were buried and how
collins were secured is not known. The
nearest settlement TO Silver Lake is
Paisley, more than so miles southeast.
1t is understood that help was sent tc
the death-stricken settlement from thar
place.
1t seems remarkable that some per-
son has not reached Lakeview or this
place with fun particulars of the tragic
affair. Almost one week has now elaps-
ed since the fire, and no word has been
received further than to show that the
lives were lost. The residents of south
eastern Oregon are Mortified over the
distressing affair. Many of the persons
burned to death are well known and
have friends all over the state 1t is
understood that a relief party was or.
ganized at Paisley, and left for Lake.

tragedy occurred. It WAS doubtless eble
to render valuable assistance to the
stricken survivors, and needed aid in
burying the dead.
