Says Bob Is spoiled.

Bob Taylor is like spoiled, petted
boy. He has been made to believe by
the Democrats that he is the smartest
boy In the country, and it frets him to
be crossed. Ifhiscommittee will turn
him loose with Minis be will have
something more to do than tell yarns

came near the shore of Jsykle Island,
where abound plenty of deer and
quantities of small game. This island

not only the richest club in the United
States but in the world; every member
of which is millionaire. We saw in

Fads I'm Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as in
everything else and a new thing" fre-
quently sells for short time simply
because it is new. But in medicine, as
in nothing else, the people demand and
will be satisfied only with positive, alb
solute merit. The fact that Hood g
Sarsaparilla has stood against all
competition, and its sales have never
wavered but have remained steadily at
the top, demonstrates, beyond any
doubt, the intrinsic virtues of this med
icine. The new things have come and
gone but Hoods Sarsaparilla rests
upon the solid foundation of absolute
merit and its power to cure, and 1t sales
continue to be the largest In the world.

Col. McClure,s Prediction.

Col. Alexander X. Mcclure, the ven =
cradle editor of the Philadelphia Times,
is witness who speaks from expert
ence when he discusses the peculiar
campaign the Democrdss ara making
this year. Col. Mcclure was one of the
chief promoters of the Greeley move.
ment in 1879, was delegate to the
convention which nominated Greeley,
and was Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee of Pennsylvania that
year in charge of the Greeley cam
paign in that State. When Col. Nc.
Clure says that this national cam
paign recalls the Greeley canvass to
me forciblyo he speaks with such au.
thority as experience can give to man
who has voted the Democratic ticket
for twenty five years. "This year,
says Col. Mcclure, more Democrats
will remain from the polls than ever
before in the history of the State. n
There will be cast something like 6OO,-
600 Republican votes in Pennsylvania,
and the Bryan ticket will not have
more than 100000. The Mckinley vote
will aggregate 2 to for Bryan"
Col. Mcclure then gives bit of per-
sonal experience which may help Mr..
Bryan to see the parallel between this
campaign and that when Greeley was
the fusion candidate. He says: "It
was the general expectation, judging
from the great interest and enthusiasm
shown until the last month, that Mr.. |
Greeley would be elected. certainly
believed that he would be. Then the
bottom dropped out, and everyone
knows that calamitous result. The
Bryan heresy is as good as scotched
this year.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Something to Think About.

The extemporaneou statisticians
who assert that the fall in the price of
silver through the suspension of free
silver coinage is responsible for the
fall in the price of farm products ought
to ponder the market reports of last
fortnight.
In little less than two weeks wheat
has advanced nearly 0 cents, which
means a gain of SS6,OOO,OOO for wheat
growers; flax has advanced Q cents,
which means gain of $1,000, 900
for flax growers; since July cotton has
advanced $10a bale, which means
ssO,OOO,OOO for cotton growers.
