P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG.


Jacksonville, Fla, July /, 1885,.
Two years ago l had the worst ulcer
on my leg l ever saw. 1t had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and infamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged
most offensive matter. My physicians
said L had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage l commenced to take P. P. P.
and to battle my leg with hot CASTLE
soap suds. 1t began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-day
a sound and useful leg.
Il think P. P. P, Lippman's Great

a blood purifier, as have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poi
soning in remarkably short time.

The Home Market Club Of Boston has
sent q resolution to Senator ,Aldrioh of
Rhode Island, urging the immediate
passage Of some emergency tariff meas
ure. not designed to be finality, but a
Temporary measure to prevent the heavy
importations cure to take place while
tariff revision Ia underway and which
will so overstock the market that it will
be long time before home Industries
win get any advantage out of higher
duties. No doubt the danger which the
Home Market Club seeks to avert is very
real, but unfortunately no relief can be
expected. from the present Congress. The
Republicans have not q majority in the
Senate, and enough silver senators have
shawn determination to stick to their
old policy of obstruction unless some
thing is done for silver to preclude the
possibility of getting assistance enough
from this source to pass the Dingley bill
or any other revenue measure. The i'm
porters are sure at least of three months
in which to bring in foreign goods
under the present tariff, aad unless tariff
revision goes ION more expeditiously at
the special session than has ever been the
case before they will get six or seven.

Thomas Michelena. who was formally

CURRENT COMMENT.
PRESIDENT HYDE AND THE
SCHOOLS.
(Biddeford Journal.

(Biddeford Journal
The strong criticisms of President
hyde upon our public school system,
while thsy contain a fundamental truth,
seem to us too inconsiderate of actual
conditions. This is not said in fatnous
belief that our school system is all right
as It is or even that it's general tendency
is along the best possible path. Much
that be says is just; but, on the other
hand, he does not recognize, or at least
makes no mention of, the fact that all
thoughtful teachers and superinten-
dents of the present day are striving as
best they can after the same high ideas
that he holds up.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
(Rockland Star.)
No fair minded Republican will be-
grudge President Cleveland the consola-
tion which he takes to himself in the
concluding portion of his message in
which he says: "When our differences
are forgotten, and our contests of political
opinion are no longer remem bered, moth
ing In the retrospect of our public service
will be SO fortunate and comforting as
the recollection of official duty well per-
formed aud q memory of assconstant devo-
tion to the Interests Of cur confiding fsl-
low country men. Mr.. Cleveland was
elected as a Democrat and.he had per-
feet right to insist On conducting his ad
ministra.ion upon Democratic lines. and
he has exercised that right. If he has
failed to satisfy his own party, it is GER
tainly not to his discredit since it is ad.
mitted that be has adhered from first to
last to traditional Democratic principles,
while q majority of those who elected
him have turned their backs on those
principles and gone after strange gods.
No Rspu blioan can complain that he has
not guided the ship of state by Republi-
cnn charts and sailing directions. Enough
that while he has made some mistakes
which will have to be rectifed by the
next administration, he has not allowed
his partisanship to blind his eyes to hat
be believed to be the best interests of the
country, and at times has gIandly risen
above ii. Mr.. Cleveland Is man of
great ability, more than average states
manship and unimpeaohab honesty. and
upon the whole, has made an excellent
President.

from the Republicans ;on that issue:
Bryan had 304, 964, an increase of 42, 2O6
over Cleveland's vote; and the state was
Democratic in 1892. Such vote could
not have been overcome by fair means.
But, by some underground tactics. 323, 65S
votes were returned for Mckinley, an
increase over Is92sof 6e, 053 This vote
could not have bean obtained legitimate

evidence of fraud.
There are several assumptions in this
paragraph that are not proven. First

out in 1892. This is not proved and the
probabilities are that it is not true.
t''rhis year." continues the Opinion
Bryan held almost every Democratic
vots." This is notoriously untrue. The
Gold Democratic movement was strong
in this State 1t is true that Bryan 5
vote was increased over Clsveland's AMI
that in spite of that fact Mckinley car
ried the state though Harrison lost it
four years ago. but this fact is not
'strong presumptive evidence of fraud -
It is evidence simply that there was ex-
traordinary interest among the voters
in the issues that ware pending. But as
far rs Indiana is concerned all talk of
fraud is sufficiently disposed of by the
fact that the election machinery was
controlled by the silver Democrats. The
GovernG was silver Democrat, and all
the prominent state officials were silver
Democrats. If then fraud were perpetrat-
ed it must have been oonnived at by
these officials. Does this Opinion think
that Gov. Matthews, blatant silver
Democrat, was guilty of conniving at a
count out of Bryan?

undertakes to demonstrate from the elec-
tion returns the frauds in the western
states which, it alleged last week, were
committed. Here is "a specimen demon
stration:
In Indiana, the vote of both parties
were largely increased. This was one of
the doubtful states in 1892, when every
vote was bought out. Cleveland had
2s2, 740 and Harrison 255, 615; the Popu-
list vote was 22, 2O8. This year Bryan
held almost every Democratic vote. The
party was d unit. for free silver and
gained largely on that issue-not only

That is the story the morning newspapers
tell of the modern business man. Too
much nloney-getting. Too little care for
health Too much rush, and strain, and
wear and tear. Too little time to eat, to
sleep, to digest the food, to rest tired body
and tortured brain. Not enough time to
think once in while of health and strength
and happiness and long and useful life. A
widow and orphans left to mourn A big
estate that under the dissecting knife of the
executor falls all to pieces. 'Tis the story
of thousands of business men i'll life reputed
