Catarrh starts in the ma!

Catarrh starts in the nasal pas
sages, affecting eyes, ears and throat,
and is in fact, the great enemy OF
the mucous membrane. Neglected
colds in the head almost invariably
precede catarrh, causing an excessive
flow of mucous, and if the mucous
discharge becomes interrupted the
disagreeable results of catarrh will
follow, such as bad breath, severe
pain across forehead and about the
eyes. a roaring and buzzing sound in
the ears and oftentimes a very often
sive discharge. Ely's Cream Balm is
the acknowledged cure for these
troubles.

HINRiCHSEN HARD HIT.
Hon. Zen T. Cable Defines Democratic
Doctrine In Forcible Language.

Doctrine In Forcibie Language.
Hon. Ben T. Cable last night made
public the following letter to Chair
man W. IL. Hinrichsen, of the demo-
cratic state central committee, in re-
ply to one received by HIN inclosiug
The resolutions of the recent silver
convention of the Illinois democracy
and suggesting his acquiescence, as a
member of the democratic national
committee for Illinois. in call for a
national convention on the same SUBJ
iect:
Mr.. Cables Letter.
'.Hon. W. H. Hinrichsen, Spring
field, H.: Dear Sir-I beg to ac
knowledge the receipt of your letter
Of June 10 inclosing certain resolu-
tions adopted by number of demo-
Gratis at a meeting held in SPRING
field, H., the 9TH of June. Among
these resolutions is one requesting
the democratic national committee
to call q convention not later than
August, 1895. to consider the money
question Your letter to me asks
for favorable reply. 1t would in
my judgment be grave abuse of the
powers of the national committee if,
ut the request of mere faction of
the party such as YOU now repre-
sent, it should, out of all regular
order call a convention for the pur-
pose of forcing upon the party any
| issue whatsoever: and how much
mere SO when the one you propose is
SO utterly at variance with all OF its
teachings in the past. Even if there
were a precedent to warrant the call
ing together of the national democ-
racy year in advance of the regular
time for its converting. / should still
regard such action on the part of the
| national committee as not only i'll
timed and unwise. but as loud in its
promise of evil consequences and
mischief to the party's welfare.
Without wishing to offend you,
think l should say that l conceive
you to have made the same mistake
concerning the powers and authority
of the national committee that you
recently made when considering the
scope of the authority of the state
central committee, over which you
preside. 1t. is not, as YOU suppose,
one of the functions of the national
committee to make new issues or tc
urge new doctrines uRon the party
for its acceptance, but to construe
democracy as it exists today; tc
determine what is democratic faitt
and what is unfaith, to select
for instance, one of two OIL
more contesting state organiza
tons as properly representing the
principles and teachings of democra
cy and worthy of its name by apply
ing the simple test of the principle
adopted by the party when last ma
tionally convened. In this connec
ton it seems to me not inappropriate
to invite your attention to resolution
No. and ., which were adopted b.
the gentlemen who met in Spring
field on the 9th Of June, and to ash
you to compare them with the reso
lutions adopted by the democratic
national convention of 1892, which
trust you are aware must remain tn
test OF party fealty until a new dec
iaration is made by the convention
which meets a year hence.

How Vain Are All Things Here Below !

Even the Philadelohia Press is
led to remark that the Reed is broken
that Thomas Bracket Reed has
committed political suicide in trying
10 straddle the money question In
palliation of the crime we shall not
be so cruel as to charge that the act
was premeditated. But it was only
one of the dark clouds whose silver
lining did the business for Thomas
Parenthesis-beg pardon, we IN .an
Brackett-Reed.
In this connection the Press sa,
"The path of the Presidential
ambition is thickly strewn with the
skeletons Of suicides. Even the great
est of our public men, when impress
ed with the belief that they may be.
come President, have weakened and
shriveled up in manhood and sacrificed
the qualities Of the statesman to the
expedients of ever changing political
currents, and of this lesson Thomas
B. Reed of Maine should take note.
Mr.. Reed has at last proposed a
financial measure. He has done al
this late day what he should have
done in December last, and what he
would have done had he not been
cwarfed and enfeebled by president.
ial aspiration, and in his measure
there was one fatal error that will
make his election to the presidency
impossible in 1896. Mr.. Reed pro-
poses to issue obligations for the gov
ernment payable in coin and refuses
to make them payable in gold coin.
This is an awkward attempt to straddle
the great issue of honest money, and
it is an issue that no man can straddle
without falling on the losing side. Mr..
Reed has presumably foreshadowed
the attitude of his party that must
control the next popular branch of
Congress and probably the Senate.
If so, then is the Republican party
committed against the maintenance
of the public credit, and if that atti-
tude shall be maintained in the next
Congress, not only will Mr.. Reed be
the colossal political suicide of the
age, but his party will be utterly wreck
ed under the leadership of one of the
most brilliant of modern presidential
suicides"

Sound Advice from an Unsound Source

We now find Ingersoll advancing
an idea that we, too, have entertained
and weakly expressed for some time
1t Is in relation to the lame and lopsi
ded condition of our monetary affairs
He says: America should do like
France-issue bonds in smaller dc
nominations, down to S. or even s.,
and then go to the people and have
the common people with them, and
just as secure as are the heavier gold
bearing bond holders. Don't take
them all to the bankers and capitalists
in $500, ST. and even larger de-
nominations, Intentionally so large that
the poor cannot possibly reach them.
Let the people have chance at them,
he says, and l am satisfied that the
Treasury would be in condition to
meet all demands on it, and the cred.
it of the United States be much better
upheld. The resources OF this country
are great. Our laboring people arc
quite as able to make such investments
as the peasantry Of France. And
having personal financial interest in
the stability of the government, who
will doubt that it would engender pa.
triotism in case Of war.

Is the Baker Ballot Seoret2

About the only virtue and superior.
ity of the complicated Baker ballot
system over the old and simpler mode
is in the temporary secrecy it insures
to the voter. Now, let us look at this
matter of secrecy bit AT the time
of casting the ballot and at the time
of counting off, the number being
hidden from view, of course the ballot
is secret-so secret that even the
election board cannot, without dis
tinguishing mark of some kind, tell
one vote from another. So far so
good but the all sufficient evidence
and just how every man votes is
preserved among the records kept in
every box whole year after the
election is over. Now, the question
arises, are these new-fangled ballot
boxes safe against the inqulsitive after
the boxes are locked, sealed and de-
hvered over to the custody of the
nearest justice of the peace or some
body else who, in many cases, pay
little or no attention to them from
first to lastp And these ballot, boxes
may be thus locked, sealed and de-
llvered, with all their secret contents,
and yet anybody so disposed, at any
time, can just take hold of the handle
and screw the top right off sleek and
clean-I verify believe they were made
so lntcntionally-w without either break.
ing lock or seal. He can then get
the check list and ballots and 90 to
work. A good light thrown on the
ballot will soon disclose its number,
and that is all the inquisitive needs
to find out when he wishes to know
Just how you or l or anybody else
voted; for he has open papers for the
rest AS yet, you will observe, he has
broken no lock or seal, and when he
gets through with his examination to
his hearts content, and made all the
notes he cares TO make, all he has to
do Is to screw the top of the secret
ballot.box on again and 60 away with
his official evidence as innocent as he
came. The Baker ballot-box is a
fraud, whatever may be said of the
system of voting.

A Oolored Statesman Dead.

Frederick Douglass, the colored
orator, expired suddenly of heart dis
ease on the evening of February goth.
10 him death came without warn
Ing. Having returned to his home at
Anacostia from the Women's Con.
vention in session at Washington, he
was telling his wife what he saw and
heard there, when suddenly he gasped,
clasped his hand to his heart and fell
back unconscious. A doctor was
hastily summoned, and arrived within
very few moments, but his efforts
to revive Mr.. Douglass were hopeless
from the first. Within twenty min
utes after the attack the faint motion
OF the heart ceased entirely, and the
great ex-slaye statesman was dead.
Mr.. Douglass leaves two sons and
daughter, the children OF his first
wife, His second wife, who was
white woman, survives him.
His life is so intermingled in the
struggle for the freedom Of the slaves
OF this country, though he was always
cool and very conservative, that a
history which would presume to leave
his conservative efforts out would be
incomplete as history.

Income Tax a Happy Hit.

The 100000 blanks printed for
individual income-tax returns have
already been exhausted, it is said the
encouraging and patriotic inference
to be drawn from this is a healthy
indication of an honest purpose upon
the part of those who have enough
and something to spare of this worlds
goods. In other words, the majority
will pay their income tax with more
ease and grace than the unemployed
laborer can or does pay his occupation
tax. 1t is said in New York that the
collectors can hardly keep up with the
demand made upon them by the
wealthy for these blanks.

Hats Off and On.

The House of Representatives of
Missouri recently defeated the bill
making it misdemeanor for women
to wear hats at the theatres and
churches.
We don't know for certain, but we
are rather inclined to think that the
statesman who conceived this idea
must be standing in with Ingersoll in
determined effort to depopulate the
church. The idea of lady going to
church and taking off her hat man
fashion Just think of it We won.
der what that Missouri statesman (who
hoped of course that his hat bill might
become law thought the lady of the
present day would do with her hat
after she got it off in church. She
couldn't well nurse it Of course. To
hx up hat rack in each pew wouldn't
cost much, its true but then these
racks, loaded down with hats, feathers,
ribbons, &c, would certainly obstruct
a falr view Of the preacher. Besides
the great disparity in the value of the
female headgear would be too pain.
fully apparent for anything but unin.
terrupted comparison on the part of
the ladies, and this would certainly
divert attention, and at the same time
1t would be extremely doubtful wheth.
er even the men would remember the
text or receive the full force of the
Spiritual blows thrown at them over
the hat-racks by even an eloquent
preacher who was out of sight. "Out
OF sight out Of mind" is a truism which
the Missouri statesman must have
forgotten all about when he drafted
his female hat bill, as he innocently
supposed, for the common good of
the males who attend churches and
theatres. Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof" and it is sufficient
tor the ladies to know that the hat bill
is defeated. And if successful it
would only apply to Missouri any
how.
