KNIGHTS OF THE MAcoABEEs

The State Commander writes us from
Lincoln, Neb., as follows: After trying
other medicines for what seemed to be
very obstinate cough in our two children
we tried DR.. Kings New Discovery and
at the end of two days the cough entirely
left them. We will not be without it
hereafter, as our experience proves that it
cures where all other remedies fail. -

Mr.. Fred. Miller, of Irving, ILL.,, writes
that he had "a severe kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in his back
and also that his bladder was affected.
He tried many so called kidney cures but
without any good result. About year
ago he began the use of Electric Bitters
and found relief at once. Electric Bitters
is especially adapted to the cure OF all
kidney and liver troubles and often gives
almost instant relief. One trial will prove

One Of the most distressing signs
of the times is the threatened bolt
Of Secretary Carlisle from the Dem,
ocratic party in case it formally
pronounces for free silver. The
Republicans would be terribly han
dicapped with such man in their
ranks, but they would be compelled
to submit to it.

LET THAT JOB OUT.

/ LtIItl5 haNS OOSh ouuiVSoVu W
prominent Republicans in Texas
asking their opinions on the pro-
priety and feasibility of calling an
informal meeting Of the Republi-
can State Executive committee, to
which leading members of the
party should be invited, to take
some definite action on the cur
rency ques ton, presumably as an
offset to the free silver movement
in the Democratic camp. 1t is al
so suggested that some action on
Prohibition might be taken at that
meeting to secure at one and the
same time the aid of the hard
money Democrats OF Texas and
the Prohibitionists as allies Of the
Republicans in the coming contest
within the state. The Republicans
OF Texas on one occasion, not many
years since, made a play with the
conservative element OF the
Democracy and pretty mess they
made Of it. Two years afterward
the two wings of the Democratic
party in Texas closed up their ranks
solidly under circumstances which,
upon every ruling of probability, in
dicated a wider breach than ever.
So far as any alliance with the De-
mocracy is concerned the Texas Re-
publicans have learned their lesson
and do not need to learn it again.
AS far as any declarations for or
against free silver are concerned, it
will be time enough for the Re.
publicans Of the state to do that
when they assemble in conven-
tion next year to send men to the
National convention of the party.
To do so now would be the extreme
of folly. 1t would commit the Re-
publicans of the state to a policy
that might or might not be in &C.
cord with the declarations Of the
party in its National gathering,and
lie it into hard knot for no earth
ly putpose but to crafty the ambi-
ton Of some declaimers who imag.
inge they know the end of a thing
from the beginning. This silver
question is loaded at both ends and
the more absolutely it is let alone
by the state leaders the better
shape will the party be in when
the conclusion Of the matter is
reached authoritatively in the Ma
tional convention. This applies
with double force to the other horn
of the dilemma on which the
party is likely TO impale itself.
If Free silver agitation is
loaded at both ends, then Prohi-
bition is dynamite Of the first class
explosive power, already capped
with a hair hung percussion at
tachment. Texas has enough sins
and fool notions OF her own to
stand sponsor for without dabbling
in those questionable movements
which have invariably weakened
the power OF the Republicans
whenever and wherever brought
into the political field. There is
no more sense in breaking out into
Prohibition declarations, no matter
how cautiously worded or how
subtly vailed, than there is in a
crippled invalid going into an open
field to wave red flag in the face
OF wild bull. The Republican
party is not so greatly in need of
funeral in Texas at present as to do
these fool things and the less that
is said about them the better for
the party.

That the Democratic party in
Texas is in danger Of split on the
silver question is no more true than
that they have been practically
split on every important question
that has been before the country
for the past ten years, but this does
not count so long as the party
stands behind the man, paying no
attention to platforms or declara-
lions and voting for the nominee,
regardless. What was done in the
case of Culberson is likely to recur
in every election. All talk of any
principle as governing the action OF
the party in Texas is out of the
question in the informed mind.

The New Orleans States consid-
ers it all up with ex-President Har-
rison as a candidate before the
next National Republican conven-
ton, and discourses dogmatically
upon the chances Of Mckinley. 1t
has not yet transpired, from any
thing that has been seen in the
past, that the States has such an
insight into political matters as to
justify it in posing as Republican
prophet. The situation is by no
means clear, but Harrison's chances
today are the best of the lot. The
States can put this aside for refer
ence at the time the nomination is
made next year. The LIGHT has
not made any mistake in its prog
nostics as to National candidates
for several years and still banks on
its own judgment, which is that as
between Reed, Mckinley, Alger
Morton, Allison aud Cameron nc
one Of them stands as near to the
nomination today as the Indiana
man. Wait and see what is un.

THE IOWA REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.


Next to John Sherman, William
B. Allison of Iowa may be regarded
as the next chief fuglemen of the re-
publican party; and hence the re-
publican state convention of Iowa
with Mr.. Allison as its moving spirit,
like the convention of Ohio under
the inspiration of John Sherman,
has peculiar significance as fore
shsdoWing the policy Of the party in
the next national campaign. These
two state conventions, together with
the national republican league, leave
no doubt that the tariff humbug is to
be revived as the chief instrument of
deception. The two old frauds seem
equally willing to agree to this.
In the Iowa platform a long plank
is devoted to this subject. 1t con-
graduates the people upon the re-
turning prosperity of the country,
reioices in each instance Of labor re-
employed, wages restored and indus
try re-. e.established upon prosperous
basis; assuming, Of course, that the
fool people will accept the wind
work of the old party press as con-
elusive that these things are really
taking place. The press of both
parties is booming the prosperity
business now, one party claiming 1t
as a result of q democratic tariff,
and the other as a result of the pros.
pective return of the republican
party to power. So between tWee-
dledee and tweedledum the noise and
clstter of the tariff racket proceeds.
The old meaningless straddle upon
the money question that served to
deceive fools IN 1892 is again fore
shadoWed for 1896 by the Iowa plat
form. 1t is a duplicate of the Ohio
humbug, with a little more sophistry
attached to the tail end of it.
Really such nonsense ought not to
receive a single moments serious
consideration by rational men; and
yet those who shape the policy and
plan the campaigns of the republl-
can party adopt these measures with
as much solemnity as though they
bore some relation to the living
questions of the day; and they evil
IDENTIFY expect to be again able to
blind the eyes of the fool voters and
ride into power once more upon
another tidal wave Of popular en-
thusiasm. The credulity of the
American people is proverbisl.
Bsrnum said they delighted to be
humbugged, and he coined this char

with true civilization and the genius
Of an enlightened age; and that we are
slowly eVOluting toward the dsy-dawn
"When swords will be beaten into plOW-
shares and spears into pruning hooks. !"
But, Mr.. Editor, we are unfortu-
nstely rudely aroused from the slum-
Der with its sweet dream Of millen-
ium, which the siren song of senti-
mentalists have lulled us into, by
butting our heads against stone wall
of palpsble real, solid, everyday mat
ter-ot-fscts, which yield not to namby-
pambyism, and like BanquO's ghost,
"Will not down." We must take the
world as we find it, with its human
snimalism, and the chain with alas! its
few links that yet bind us to Dsrwin's
bsboon.
A half century ago, landed, Swiss
emigrsnt's boy on these Western
shores. Driven from the land of his
sIres by a hesrtlesS, blOOdless, money
aristOcrsCy, Columbia welcomed my
father and his flock of children with
open arms. Her great domain was at
that time, save 4 millions of black
chattel slaves, indeed and in truth 'the
land of the free and the home Of the
brsVeP' Homes were cheap and plenty;
millionaires few and far between.
Multimillionsires, Sydicates and trusts
were creatures of the imagination.
The genus tramp was unknown. Nei-
ther hoodlum nor hobo had an exist
ence even in our vocabulary. A broad
guaged, wide awake democracy, honest
and rugged and plain Of mien and
manner ruled the land bequesthed to it
by Washington's sword, JeffersOn's
pen, and Frsnklin's press. Americas
virgin soil had no room for the upas
tree of aristocracy. The masses made
the laws, and vile gold and privileged
classes were strangers in our legisla-
tive halls.
This is but a faded dsguerreOtype of
our Uncle Sam in l845. 1t is needless
for me to flash his portrait by aid of
modern st6reopticon on the canvass.
We all see it with mingled feelings of
sadness, shame, indignation and fear

The money power of the Old World
accompanied by its twin brother, caste

the poor linen weaver of Switzerland,

important step in the right direction.

the least pride in the appearance Of

let us train this generation how to
stand, to walk, to rise up and sit down
with military grace and precision. As
to cultivating the war spirit, that is
weak argument. 1t is cultivsting the
spirit of self-discipline, self-respect,
dignity and grace. 1t does not make
so much matter for women, as they
hide all their deformities under skirts.

sharp and decisive" method of unraV-
cling the knotted rope. Struggling
nations have heWn out their path to
freedom by the sword. Civil and re-
ligious liberty has been won mainly by
the process of the old medical school,
