Where the twilight and the darkness

There's curse upon humanity, pro-

How the Cities Went.

From the Boston Advertiser.
1t is worth more than passing no.
tice to observe how the great cities OF
this country, which have been almost
uniformly Democratic in previous
wears, cast their vote tor Mckinley in
the present election. The very
strongholds of Democracy have been
captured in those places where the
discussion of the silver question has
been broadcast and fullest. Practical
ly every voter in a large city reads
the newspapers, and the discussion OF
the whole silver question by the met
ropolitan newspapers of this country
has been searching and complete.
The very fact that in those sections
where both sides of the silver question
have been given to the public in full
and constant degree the silver move
ment has failed most signally to Sc
cure popular support, affords good
proof that the movement will never
again be dangerous in American poll
tics. It cannot endure intelligent re-
search and thoughtful examination.

Down With AItgeIdism.

Outside the defeat of Bryan nothing
gave so much qualification to the great
mass Of the voters throughout the Union
as the defeat of Altgeld, the Popocrat-an-
archist candidate for governor of Illinois.
His candidacy attracted universal interest
because of the abhorrent principles be rep
resented, and because, even more than
Bryan, he expressed the spirit and the sem
timent of the Chicago platform. His
crushing defeat in Illinois is notice to
him that the American people do not like
anarchy or anarchists OF the Altgeld and
Tillman stripe.

~ OAbOWs
Baltimore, Md, Nov 5.--Republi-
can prediction promises that the
election Of Mckinley would result in
a general business revival seem likely
to be fulfilled.
Senator Camden, of West Virginia,
was in the city to-day, and practically
concluded deal with the receivers Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad by
which ST. 900, 900 will be invested inn
mediately in manufacturing plants in
West Virginia. He said:
"The election Of Mckinley means
general revival of business in every
line. / am here this morning
to conclude deal that has been
pending on the outcome of the cleo
ton. We have syndicate that
stands ready to expend 81, 900, 600 in
the erection Of pulp mills and other
wood work establishments in the vi
ciuity OF Gauley, w. Va, on the line
of the West Virginia Central and Pitts
burg Railroad.
"The interest of the B. & Q. in the
deal is coeval with their interests in
this road which is one of their feeders.
These plants, we propose to erect will
require the labor Of many men in their
erection and operation, and many
others will find employment in the
woods, furnishing the material which
the mills will consume.
"The deal certainly would not have
been concluded had Bryan been elect
ed, but now that Mckinley is to be
our next President, and we are sure of
a Republican Congress, we are en-
couraged to go ahead. We have other
large deals now under consideration,
of which / am not now at liberty to
speak. "
Huntington, w. Va, Nov. 6.--All
the lumber mills of the Ensign Car
works, at the mouth of the Guyan,
resumed Thursday morning. They
have been idle for many months. The
large car shops of the Ensign Com
pany will resume work next week.

Here's an Experiment.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Here's a little experiment with
which you may amuse and surprise
your friends.
Place two chairs facing each other
with a glass goblet on the edge OF
each. Take stout stick OF almost
my kind and place it so that
ZACH end will rest on the rim of one
# the goblets.
Having completed your apparatus,
AXE a stout broom handle and strike
he suspended stick violent blow in
he middle.
Everyone will be certain that both
the goblets will be smashed in pieces.
But they will remain intact, and
The stick, stout though it may be,
will be broken in the middle.
The philosophy of this experiment
is simple. The force of the blow
breaks the suspended stick before il
can be communicated to the goblets.

Sick poison is poison which makes
you sick. 1t comes from the stomach.
The stomach makes it out of undi-
gested food.
The blood gets it and taints the
whole body with it. That's the way
of it.
The way to be rid of it is to look
after your digestion.
If your food is all properly digested,
there will be none left in the stomach
to make sick poison out Of
If your stomach is too weak to see
to this properly by itself, help it
along with few doses of Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial.
That's the cure of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is de-
licious, healthful, tonic cordial, made
of pure medicinal plants, herbs and
wine.
1t positively cures indigestion and
prevents the formation of sick poison.

BACK From THE JUNIOR REPUBLIC,

THE YOUNG CITIZENS HAD A GOOD TINE AND
WERE TRAINED FOR THE FUTURE.
New-York enriched yesterday by the return
of 100 boys and girls who have had a chance to
pass two months in the country. enjoying the fresh
air and beauty OF the trees and flowers. Perhaps
they were not all OF the highest type of childhood
that the mind can imagine. but the two months in
the country brought them to Il than thew
would have come if they had been obliged to en-
dure the sitting air and shabby streets Of The
poorer parts OF the metropolis.
The fact Is that 100 citizens OF the Junior Repub.
lie reached New-York over the Lehigh Valley Rail.
road at 100 yesterday morning And happy lot
they were. All summer long they had had a good
time. 1t was good time for all. but II was not q
good time that all childish fun. There was
hard work mixed up in 1t. too. but mixed so skill
fully that the most dissatisfied of them wished that
the time were longer that they were among the
favored few who remained in the ranks as citizens
for the rest OF the winter.
The Junior Republic has been in existence for
several years and its opportunities TO. good are
every year Increasing. This year 1856 young people,
boys and girls between the ages of twelve and nne.
teen years. have enjoyed the privilege of working
for themselves and governing themselves. They
have their camp and their winter quarters at Free
VILE Tompkins County. n. Y. and for the last two
months the happy crowd that returned to their
homes yesterday morning have been learning the
which will show them that such things are not 70
much work as true happiness. The officers OF no
George Junior Republic Association OF New-fork
CITY are r. Montgomery Schell. president; William
Clifford Orton secretary and treasurer. ana WIZ
lam r. George general superintendent II Is the
custom OF the association to take so many girl4
and boys who would otherwise not have the cnance
10 GO TO the country, and give them an opportunity
TO enjoy the free air. the sunshine the trees ana
flowers During the summer months they all live In
tents and have a court and police and ruling OH.
GERS All Of the executive and judicial work of
Republic is done by themselves, under the guidance
of the officers. But for all that Is received some.
thing must be given. and work and play are so In
termingled that ii is always a pleasure to follow
the best example
The winter qua tiers of the Junior Republic are
small. and only small number can be accommo.
dated. This year twenty five are TO be kept there
through the winter. that Is the largest number
that the means of the organization will allow. The
officers are in hopes that. as the years go by they
may extend their opp Jrtunites for doing good and
that it will not be long before they will be able 10
accommodate many In the winter they now
can during the summer months.
