An extra session of congress will
follow close upon McKinlcy's in
auguration for the purpose of en-
acting revenue tariff law. The
treasury deficits under the Wilson
tariff law are q menace to our ma
tional credit, and the necessity for
= remedy is acknowledged by Dem
-ocrats as we'll as by the Republi-
cans. Had Bryan and his party
been successful at the late election,
the revenue question would have
necessitated the filching by that
party of the Republican policy OF
q tariff for protection, though ac-
ton on that line would have been
deferred to give precedence to the
coinage question. A tariff law that
will give the government the re-
quircd revenues for current ex-
penditurcs and to meet the interest
on our bonded Indebtedness, will,
incidentally, furnish sufficient pro-
lection for our home industries.

Scratching.

The scratching clement in poll
tics is always an unknown quantity
previous to an election, and as the
result of scratching never develops
until the votes are counted. it is a
difficult matter for politicians to
deal with and often knocks previous
estimates all askcw. In almost
every campaign a sort of political
itch breaks out, which finds relief
only in scratching ballots. 1t af
fects both parties alike, but very
rarely simultaneously. Sometimes
it breaks forth without cause and
without Justification.
In the campaign just past in this
county the epidemic broke out in
the Republican party with viru-
lencc, and the results of the elect
ton shows that the scratching of
Republican ballots has been severe.
The head of the ticket shows a
clear majority large enough to have
elected every Republican candidate
on the county ticket but for the
scratching. The itch was severe
enough, however, to cause the
election of five Democrats to coun-
ty offices. 1t is no disparagement
to the defeated candidates that they
weredefcatedb dby thcscratchins with
in their own party. They are all good
men against whom no fault could
be found personally, and as COM
potent to serve in public capacity
as the men who were elected in
their stead. They were simply the
victims of that inordinate desire
which took hold of our Republican
friends to scratch their ballots for
fanciful reasons.
The bodily ailments Of humanity
often leave a severe reminder upon
an afflicted person in the way OF
an after weakness, or perhaps, a
lasting infrmity Or scar. And SC
it is with political party that has
been afflicted with the itch. 1t is
weakened and the scratching OF
ballots always leaves a scar.
| In the future, our Republican
friends should remember that they
can best strengthen and build NJ
their party by giving the least com
fort and support to TIE opposition

NEARLY all the Bryanite papers
are trying to belittle the Republi
can victory in the late election.
They are asserting that ii was no
landslide, but a glance at the fig
urcs will show that these papers
are endcayorirg to comfort their
readers by binding the facts.
McKinley's majority over Bryan
in the electoral college will he over
one hundred, the largest majority
given any presidential candidate
since 1872, with the exception OF
the one given Cleveland in 1892.
McKinleys popular plurality will
be over a million, a figure never
before reached by any candidate.
In spite of all that has been said
about money power, coercion, etc,
it is evident that Mckinley is the
popular choice Of the country, and
that Bryan was never iii the race.

The Comet Season.

We are now nearing the great
metcoric orbit, and very soon there
will appear in the heavens a vast
number of comets and shooting
stars. Astronomers the world over
are preparing to witness the dis
play, which will be at its height
about the middle of November.
On its present journey the earth
will only meet the advance guard
Of the stream of metcors that in its
revolution about the sun pours it
self across the November section of
our orbit, but as the stream of
metcors is about eight years long
that Is, eight years being requir-
ed for the entire stream to pass a
given point--we shall meet it again
in November, 1897, and the next
November, and the next, when we
are due to pass through its most
dense portion, which is about 1Oo,- =
900 miles in thickness. Then for
several years its numbers will grow
less. until the last straggler has
! passed, when it will sweep on its
course and return to us again after
Il third of a century has elapsed.
As far back as there are any re-
cords this stream of mctcors has
regularly appeared every thirty
three and a quarter years, and each
time has been visible from the
earth eight Novcmbers running

Buried In an Oak Coffin During the
FranroPrussian War.
The recent death Of III. Henri Brest,
whose name was celebrated many years
ago in connection with the statue o.
Venus, now one of the great treasures
in the Louvre museum, brings to mind
some interesting souvenirs connected
with that statue. 1t was. indeed, NJ.
Henri Brest who discovered the wonder
full statue which had been unearthed
by peasant in the island of Milo and
who bought it of him for mere song
in 1920. He soon sold it to NJ. de Mar
cellus. through whom it reached the
Louvre. The wonderful statue re-
mained undisturbed in the gallery Of
the Louvre. of which it was the prin-
cipal ornament. till the Franco-Prus
sian war. in 1870, when the means OF
preserving it against the possible pill
lage of the Germans caused great anxi-
ETY. to the curators. Few EneIishmen
hre probably aware that the Venus do
Milo was on that occasion placed in an
immense sort of padded oak coffin and
buried mysteriouSiy in great trench
maze TO receive II III lnc courtyard
Of the prefecture of police. This
was done in the middle of the
night, in the presence Of very few
witnesses, with the object OF keeping
the hiding place of the statue perfectly
secret. 1t was thought by the officials
of the Louvre that the statue was in
perfect safety there; but their anxiety
for the fate of the treasure was revived,
after the signature of peace, by the
outbreak of the commune and the set
ting fire to the prefecture of police and
to the Palais de Justice opposite
Fortunately. however. when that insur.
rection had been put down the curatorA
of the Louvre. on once more unearth-
ing the statue, found it had suffered no
deterioration. The inscription ON the
pedestal of the statue in the Louvre
does not even mention the name of N.
Henri Brest. 1t relates simply that it
was bought by NJ. de MarceIlus for
Marquis de Rivierc. the French ambas.

CURES LIVER AND KIDNEY
TROUBLES.

The great constitutional remedy
for liver and kidney complaints is
Triquimia Liver Regulator. For
these two Affections, nothing is so re-
liable. 1t also clears the complexion,
increases and purifies the blood,
makes red lips and red cheeks and
bright eyes, cures dyspepsia, cOnsti-
patton and chronic Sickheadache. Is
the best after dinner tablet. In bad
cases its use should be preceded by a
dose or two Of TriQuimia Cathartic.
When there is nervous debility, as
thereusually is, use, also, Triquimia
Vitalatum. Take the Liver Regpla-
tor before meals and the Vitalatum
after. These two Remedies, together,
excel all other treatments for broken
down constitutions, or debilitated
conditions. When there is much
nervous irritability, TrlQuimia Pain
Specific may be taken for a dose or
two.
