There has been notable decline in the
shouting of the McKinleyites within
a few days. They are not claiming the
entire earth es they were a week ago
This is due in part no doubt to the ap-
pearance of the Reed "boom" and the
enthusiastic support it is getting in the
East, and to the discovery that many
delegates in the West whom Mckinley
has been reckoning as his, have strong
liking for Mr.. Reed, which may lead
them to desertkuhe Ohio candidate as soon
as they can do SO consistently with their
instructions. developments in Texas
and Maryland and several other South

ANOTHER AFRICAN WAR IMPEND-
ING

Before her expedition to the Soudan
gets well underway, England is likely to
have a rebellion of large proportions on
her hands in South Africa. The Mata-
beles are already in open revolt. and the
ulus, who are close to them, are liable
to go on the war path any day, especially
II the Matabeles score some successes, as
they are very likely to do since there are
few British regulars in South Africa.
The Beers, too have a serious grievances
against England, and Presidents Kruger
may take advantage of the revolt of the
native tribes to press the demand which
it is said he has already made for the
pendence of the Transayal Republic. The
Beers, Zulus and Matabeles would con-
stitute very formidable combination,
and one that would cost England very
dearly to overthrow. Indeed England
found the Beers alone some years ago SO
formidable a foe that she was compelled
to compromise with them. The Zulus
and Matabeles are good fighters, too. The
present disturbance is undoubtedly di-
reotly traceable to the defeat that DIR.
Jameson recently sustained at the hands
of the Boers. The news of that affair
inspired the neighboring people with the
idea that they could whip the British,
and they have daily grown more def
ant and restive of restraint. German
intrigue has been at work also; and
there is pretty good prospect that un-
less the British succeed in quelling the
Matabele revolt very quickly, all the
tribes 10 South Africa will unite in an
effort to drive the British out of the
country. OF course they won't be driven
out, but it may cost great deal of
money and many lives to retain their
grip. With two African wars on her
hands, and with two Of the great conti-
mental nations hostile to her and ready
and anxious to place all the stumbling
blocks possible in her pathway, England
will be more anxious than ever to settle
| up her controversies in this hemisphere.

Gen. Weyler's latest proclamation seems
to bo an open ayowal of his intention to
carry on a campaign of determination
against the rebels. He alleges that they
are bandits and inoendiaries, and that
he will treat them as such. That means
that when he captures any of them he will
see that they are promptly shot. Of course
the rebels will Immediately retaliate
upon the Spaniards and treat them in the
same way. Evidently the campaign in
Cuba is fast approaching stage when
it will be some nations duty to inter-
fere from purely humanitarian reasons.

The National Prohibition Party appears
to be broadening its phylacteries. If it's
national committee forecasts its inten-
tions correctly, it is going in this year
not only for prohibition, but also for free
silver, government ownership of railroads,
equal suffrage, etc., eto. 1t has probably
discovered that a party organized upon
single issue can hardly be broad enough
to capture many votes, and so it is going
to branch out. What 1t appears to be
after in particular is the Populist vote.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE MASSACHUSETTS FINANCIAL
DELIVE RANCE.
(Springield Republioan.)

(Springield Republican,
Thore are declarations about which
there can be no mistake. 1t contrasts
strikingly with the equivocal and double
faced platform adopted in McKinlsy's in
terests in Ohio. There will be no dispute
about the meaning of tho Massachusetts
plank. The New York Tribune will not
be compelled to hire man to write two
columns to prove that it means one thing
against the assertion of others that it
means another thing. 1t is an honest,
straightforward utterance, which will
command respect where the Ohio plank
commands only the contempt Of both sill
yer and anti-silver men; and in naming
Thomas B. Reed for the Presidency on
this platform the Massachusetts Republi-
cans gave the Maine man footing
which will, IL We mistake not, greatly
rebound to his strength before the cOun-
try in the contest for the nomination.
philadelphia South American.))
On the money question the deliverance
of the Massach husetts convention is a
model of direotness and lucidlty. There
is beating around the bush; no using
phrases of double or dou bttul meaning,
with a view to their diverse and conflict
ing Interpretation; no double-ninded
giving out of ingenious promises which
may afterwards be kept to the ear though
broken to the hope. The silver plank in
the Massachusetts, platform means only
one thing. and cannot be tortured into
meaning any other. The demand for
the maintenance in all it's integrity of
tle gold standard except by international
agreement, and the protest against the
free coinage of silver, are equally explicit
and unconditional. 1t may be hoped that
when the turn of Pennsylvania comes, it
will not either in this or in any respect,
fall below the Massachusetts standard of
honesty. visor and good sense.
MR.. REEDS CANDIDACY.
New York Commercial Advertiser
The candidacy of Mr.. Reed is moving
along at great rate. 1t has not shown
quite SO many delegates as that of Mr.
Mckinley just now is showing, but the
intrinsic strength and solidity are great,
and, in faot, 1t is based on the best pint
form In financial way in tariff line.
1t has immense vitality and progressive

present condition under forcing house
or by means of any artificial bandwagon
campaign. 1t is solid and substantial,
and in good trim to get through any
rough and tumble contest that may come
along.

ed by Republican conventions comes
from thu great state of Ohio. South
Dakota's is far more explicit and its
hostility to free silver is more pronounced.
No other platform has been called
u "straddle,' and no other has required
two columns of explanation from New

a curious fact also that the Ohio plat
form, OF all the platforms adopted by
states that have declared for Mckinley,
is the only one that was submitted to
the Ohio candidate beforehand and re-

Catarrh.

Catarrh is seemingly one of the
los complicated of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
TINS are easily explained. Catarrh is
a blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays, douches and washes which
are employed as a local treatment,
may, for a time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew OF
such treatment producing a cure.
They car not reach the seat of the dis
ease, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can do
so except d real blood remedy.
In the treatment of Catarrh, S. S.
S. has demonstrated the fact that it
reaches d~eep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.
Mr.. Chas. A. Parr, the leading wall
paper dealer, of Athens, Ca, writes:
