Whooping Cough.

There is no danger from this disease
when Chamberlain's Cough remedy is
freely given. 1t liquefes the tough
mucus and aids its expectoratiou. 1t
also lessons the severity and frequency
of paroxysms of coughing, and insures
a speedy recovery. There is not the
least danger in giving the remedy to
children or babies, as it contains no in
furious substance. For sale by all dea-

The Republic claims that the closing
OF the mints of India and the previous
action of other nations make it impos-
sible for us to return to the old ratio
of 16 to 1. Supposing that in 1878 the
United States had not demonetized sill
yer, and that Germany, France, Aus
tria. and other properties of the House
of Rothschild. had ceased to use or
recognize silver as money metal. and
that England had closed the mints of
India to silver, would the United
States have had to abandon its unit,
the silver dollar, and adopt the gold
standard? If there is anything in the
Republics stock arguments this is pre-
cisely what would have happened. If
this is true, the third war for Ameri-
can Independence has not begun a

is undoubtedly true; but that the pro-
-duction of tie two metals has changed
materially since we coined silver free
ly Is untrue, and when the editor of
the Republic made this statement he
knew that he was not stating the fact.
He undoubtedly intended to convey
the idea that since the demonstration
OF silver there had been a vast increase
in the production of silver, while he.
as man of ordinary intelligence, must
have known that from thirty-one tons
OF silver to one of gold in 1S48, the
,Proportion of silver to gold has steadi-
ly decreased until in 1890 there were
only eighteen tons of silver to one of
gold In the world. OF course it was

trust would dictate the policy OF the

its editor to deal fairly with the facts.
He has q perfect right to make the

This is explanation
without justification of

Atty. Gen. Olney in

is in gross error as
to the constitutional

not the function of the

THE CUCKOO.

1t is gratifying to
find Attorney General
Olney's explanation OF
of the employment Of
Federal troops at Chi
cago accepted by the
majority of those jour
mails which have here
tofore condemned that
action.
The Attorney Cen
erals statement was
made at the recent tri-
al of the Debs con-
tempt case before the
United States Supreme
Court. After review
ing the successive in
cidents in the case, he
said:
If the State authorities
had acted promptly and
vigorously the Interrupt
ton of interstate railway
transportation might pos
sibly have ceased, but in
stead of their doing this
they allowed day after day
to pass marked either by
total inactivity or by ef
forts so ill-directed and in
adequate as to aggravate
all the evils of the situa-
ton. Hence it became
necessary for the Govern
ment to step in, not only
in defense of individuals,
but in obedience to its OBJ
legations to protect inter-
state commerce and be-
cause IL is the duty of
every Government to ex-
ercise its functions when
ever occasion requires.
This is the view of
the case which The
Republic took in the
beginning and has
persistently maintain
ed. Asserting the SOW
ereignty of a State
does not maintain it.
Sovereignty cannot be
maintained by mac
ton in the face of dis
order accompanied by
protest against the ac-
tion of those who in.
sist upon exercising
the attributes of a just
Government. Sover-I
eighty implies respon-I
sibility and response
bility implies the main
tenance of order and
the protection of life
and property right.
They fail to under
the intelligence
of the American peo>
pie who imagine that
timidity and demago-I
gy in the face of peril
can masquerade AS
patriotism. The high
est right of a State is
to govern itself, and
his it must do or that
right will be lost

WHY should not Democratic con-

upon the question of Free Coinage? 1t
is sensible way to ascertain what
policy the party shall adopt, and to as
certain what the voters in its ranks

but should we not force the fight? If
the people do not force the fighting,
no fight will be made. A sufficient
pressure should be brought to bear
upon our Central Committee to call a
convention or to resign. II parties
were organized solely for the purpose
OF securing Office, this would be bad
policy, because. while we would lose

would not be likely to at once acquire

pledges upon both tariff and silver, ev-

do not consider the declarations of the
party platform binding. 1t will take
time to restore confidence in our sim
cerity. The best pledge we can give
is the execution of the traitors as fast
as we come to them. To that end the
whole organization should be renovat-
ed. The principles of the party should
be set forth without a straddle. and no
one should be placed on guard who is
not in hearty accord with them. Prin-

Increased Express Charges Went Into
Eject on the LIST.
New York, Nov. "A large increase
in the rates for transT orting money by
express went into effect to-day. This
increase is said to average 25 per cent.
between points east of Chicago, and
even more to points west Of that place.
This increase Of rates is regarded as an
other blow in the warfare waged for
some time past between the express
companies and the state and national
banks throughout the country, and
which, It Is said, will be carried to Con-
gress by the banks. This conflict was
precipitated last winter, when the COM
panies raised the rates on money ship
ped from bank to bank.
The state bank associations have pre-
pared bills which, 1t is stated, will be
introduced into Congress next month
placing the express companies under the
provisions Of the interstate commerce
act as common carriers.
The bankers are endeavoring to per-
feet a system which shall make the
bank draft supplement the express
money order. 1t will require co-opera-
ton between the several state associa-
tiOns and the establishment Of state
clearing houses to accomplish this. The
banks are sending money by registered
mail and insuring the registered pack
ages, and from as far away as Buffalo
messengers are sent to New York with
satchels full Of greenbacks to be deliv-
cred to the city banks in order to meet
drafts.

Little Rock, Ark. Nov. 3.-The GRIM
inal cases against Fitzsimmons and

missed at noon yesterday on condition
that the men leave this state as soon
as they can conveniently do SO. The
restraining order preventing the men
from fighting In the stnte Of Arkansas
remains in force and all chance of
bringing off the fight In this state is
over, even il Fitzsimmons would be
willing to fight In this state, and he
stated Enthusiastically yesterday that he
would do nothing Of the kind.
Brady will agree to nothing unless
Julian's $4,000 is up. and there are no
signs Of Its being up. Corbett and
Brady will leave for New York as soon
as there Is no more chance Of seeing
the $4,000 put up by Julian.
The Fitzsimmons party will remain
here until Tuesday evening, giving an
exhibition Monday night. All the talk
of the propositions for fight elsewhere
between Corbett and Fitzslmmons is
idle. Julian frankly acknowledged to-
day that he had no money and that
there was no prospect Of fight any
where. 1t is common talk here now
that the whole party is financially en-
barrassed and the proceeds of the exhi-
bitlon Monday will be necessary to meet
current expenses and let them out Of

FATAL NEW YORK FIRE.
Four Victims of Sweat Shop Teno-

Four Victims of y Sweat Shop Tene-
New York, Nov. 3.-Several lives were
lost In the fire which started about one
o'clock this morning on the second floor
of the slX-story brick building at No. 7
Pelham street, owned by We'll & Meyer,
and used as sweat shop. Three char
red and almost unrecognizable bodies
were taken from the ruins to-day, and
one man who jumped to save his life
from the flames was so injured that lie
died in Governeur hospital.
The fire originated from some unknown
cause on the second floor of No. z, and
spread with great rapidity through the
building and those Immediately adjoin-
ing. Five alarms were sent In and al
though a large number of engines were
playing on the flames for hours nothing
could be done to save the structures
themselves and the four buildings num-
bering 3, 8, Z and o Pelham street, were
destroyed.
The buildings burned were fitted with
sweat shops, and several watchmen and
others slept there. How many, cannot
be told yet. Two Of these people We're
Dfrschauer, who died In the hospital,
and Samuel Ischowitz janitor of No. 7.
They jumped from windows to save
themselves. Ischowltz is still in the hos
pltal with both legs broken.

HERETICs BURNED.
VICTIMS OF A FANArIcAL MEX
lCAN JUDGE.
ne Arrests Ton Persons and Burns the
Jail Over Their Heads as . Result of
Prstendsd Visions That They Were
Horotics.

New York, Nov. "A special to the
World from Pachuca, Mexico, says:
News comes from Texacapa, small
town Inhabited by Indians and half
breeds, that ten persons were burned
there as heretics by order of the auxil.
larry town judge. He claims he acted
according to the will of God, manifested
to him in an extraordinary vision accom-.
panied by certain indications of divine
wrath against heretics and people lead.
Ing immoral lives.
AS soon as the news reached Mollange,
the principal town in the district, the
municipal president and minor officials,
with an escort of over sixty men, armed
with rifles, went to Texacapa, where
they found everybody in the public
square executing grotesque dances in
honor Of the Virgin of Guadaloupe
around the ruins of the jail, small
building solidly constructed, close to the
parish church. In this Jail previous to
Saturday, had been confined Nicholas
Hernandez, Martin Santiago, Jose Man
uel, Casper Hernandez, Juan Tomas,
Juan Tomas second, Maria Juana, Maria
Magdalena, Maria Conception and an
infant child.
They had been rudely hustled from
their homes at dead Of night on the ex-
traordinary charge preferred by the
auxiliary town Judge that their lives
were an evil in the sight of God, and
that they were enemies of the faith and
heretics whom God had ordered through
His holy saint, to be consumed by fire.
The auxiliary judge related this with
the utmost sang froId to the authorities.
He added that God had wrought aston
bhing miracles to confirm what the saint
had told him In the vision. Said the
judge: II obeyed the divine command
and ordered out my alguayciles, con-
stables, and we took these sinners from
their beds and dragged them In the
darkness of night, weeping and wall
Ing, to the jail When they were locked
securely In I ordered the alguayciles tO
set the building on fire."
Twenty-one arrests were made, al
though the fanatical mob threatened
death to the authorities. The prisoners,
securely bound around the arms, and
chained together, were marched to Mol
lange. where judicial investigation
will take place. The whole population
Of Texacapa appears to have gone mad.
All believe the auxiliary judge was COM
mtssioned by the Almighty and the
sainH to destroy evil-doers.
They point to the pile of bones on
which they profess to see miraculously
traced outline forms of the saints, who,
on advising the Judge to burn the here
tics, left their images. The community
is nothing but an open-air mad-house.

WORK OF THE PENSION BUREAU
Annual Report Issued by Commissioner
LOchren.

Annual Report Issued by Commissioners
LOchren.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 1.-Commis-
siOner William L. Lochren of the pen
sion office in his annual report makes
several pointed suggestions. Under the
head "Patriotism and Pensions" he
says:
"Those men who enlisted early and
fought the battles Of the war were not
moved by mercenary considerations and
unless actually disabled did not show
the haste in applying for pensions mani
tested by those who enlisted near the
close of the war for large bounties and
did little actual service, and who are
now the nOisiest in clamOring for more
pensions. AS compared with this latter
class the real soldiers of the war have
been modest In preferring claims for
pensions"
The commissioner says that many dis
reputable and incompetent men are en-
gagged as pension attorneys and sug-
gests that none but reputable members
Of the bar be allowed to practice in PEN
sion cases.
The death of many witnesses and the
age of claimants has made 1t quite diff
ficult In many cases lately to obtain
proof sufficient for the granting of PEN
siOns. The commissioner recommends
that some provision be made for the
maintenance Of deserving clerks In his
bureau who have been long in the SER
vice and have become practically dis,
abled.
The report shows that the number Of
pensioners June 30, 1894, was 069,544
new pensioners added during the year,
39,175; dropped pensioners restored, A.
POS; deaths during the year, 29,816;
dropped for other causes, 14,575; max
ing a net increase Of pensioners during
the year of $50. Pension claims allow
ed during the year, 39.1S5; rejected.
1O3 1886; cases pending, 552.210.
The appropriation for the year was
S15O, 100000, and there was paid during
the year $13s, ,SO7, ,337. The estimates
for pensions for 1897 are $40 100000
for pension payments, $SOO,OOO for sur
geons' fees and $45O,OOO for clerk hire
at pension agencies and about 100000
for other expenses.
The commissioner commends the vigor
of the department of justice and Of spe-
cial pension examiners in prosecuting
dishonest attorneys and others who
were engaged in pension frauds. Two
hundred and ninety-four persons were
convicted during the year for frauds.
