SILVER THE BATTLE CRY.
What Senator Tillman Says of His Tour
Through The West.
(Washington Star. }


Senator Tillman is enthused with the
silver prospects this year. 1T am more
confident than ever" he said to Star
reporter, "that the Democrats will be in
charge at Chicago. Everywhere have
been l found that free silver is the battle
cry. At the meetings which I addressed
I took hand primaries, and they showed
that the masses of the people want sill
ver''
Senator Tillman's "hand primary is
original with him and was introduced in
his first campaign for governor in South
Carolina. The plan is to call upon all in
the audience who favor a certain thing to
hold up their right hands. Then he calls
upon those opposed to do the same thing.
This he calls hand primary. In South
Carolina the candidates stump tho state
together. When Senator Tillman was
running for governor six years ago he and
his opponent, Judge Earle, would make
claims as to carrying certain county.
When the campaign meeting was held in
that county Tillman would call upon all
who Intended to vote for him to raise
their ri ght hands. His supporters would
raise their hands with shout. Then he
would call upon his opponents to raise
their right hands.
"On my way from ST. Louis to Owens
boro," said Senator Tillman, 81 talked
to an audience at Centralia, ILL.,, having
received kilograms from all along the line
asking me to stop over. l found the
farmers of both parties solid and enthusi-
astie tor silver"
'Do you think all of the states west of
the Mississippi will send silver delega-
tions to Chicagof'
The only doubtful states are Iowa and
Minnesota. The Democratic party in
Minnesota was swallowed up by the
Populsts; that is, the free silver part Of
the party -
"Do you think there will be contesting
delegations from any OF the southern
states?'
"Oh. there will be an effort to bam-
DooZle the silver men and to elect traitors
to the national convention. They will
try to send contesting delegations from
many states, SO as to get the national
committee, which has a majority of gold
bugs. to seat the bogus delegations.
Wouldn't this cause a splitP''
Il wouldn't care if there was split. I
am tired Of keeping house with any such
a set anyhow"
Senator 'Eillman's mail is filled each
day with invitations to speak in different
states. He has decided to make q south
ern tour, bnt has not fixed upon the
dates. He will likely speak in Georgia.
Alabama Florida, Mississippi, Texas

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
The following rescript has been re-
ceived from the law court in a Cumber-
land county case:

The following rescript has been re.
ceved from the law court in Cumber-
land county case:
G. H. Milliken VS.. P. 2. Skillings.
Rescript, Whitehouse, J.-It is settled
law in this state that a sale OF personal
property with a warranty Of quality and
ithout fraud may be treated as sale
upon condition subsequent, at the cleo
ton of the purchaser and in event OF
breach of warranty the property may be
restored and the sale rescinded.
But the right Of RECESSION is limited to
cases where the seller can be put substan-
TALLY in the position which he occupied
before the contract; and this principle
makes it the duty of tho buyer to return
or uenderssback'to the seller, whatever Of
value to himself or to the other, he has
received under the contract.
But If the buyers offer to restore the
goods is met by an absolute refusal OF
the other party to receive them if ten
dered, he will be relieved of the duty of
actually returning or rendering them to
the vendor at the place where the title
passed.
The word ''nffer" Is frequently used
by courts and text writer's as synonymous
with TENDER and it may be properly
SO used with reference to articles capable
of manual delivery and actually pro-
duoed. But with respect to heavy arti-
Giles of merchandise situated at distance
from the place to which they must be
transported il resorted to the vendor,
the phrase "offer to return" is more COM
monty and more aptly employed to ex-
press willingness or to make a proposal
to rescind the contract and return the
goods.
1t is not sufficient however, for buy
er who has taken delivery Of the goods
at the vendors place of business merely
to express willingness or make pro-
posal to return the goods or simply to
give notice to the seller that he holds tho
goods subject to his order or to request
him to come and take them back.
The general principles of law involved
in the RECESSION of contracts had been &C.
curately stated in the earlier part of the
chargs, but it is the opinion of the court
that in giving the jury the more specific
instructions complained of, the learned
justice inadvertently omitted to point
out the distinctions and qualifications
required by the facts and circumstances
disclosed in the evidence
Exceptions sustained.

Easter Snn,fav.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE Some time
since 1 noticed in your paper an explanation
in regard to Easter Sunday in which you
stated that the first Sunday after the full
moon happening on the Dist of March or
thereafter was always Easter Sunday. In
this year 1896 the moon fulls on Saturday,
March %. The 10Th is Sunday, and yet IS
not Easter Sunday. Will you please ex-
plain this, and Oblige one Of the old boys?
Fraternally-J. A. HUNTER, Leap, Ore.
The method OF determining Easter Day Is
much too complicated TO be explained 10 u
newspaper article. Substantially, it is the
Sunday following the first full moon on or
after March 81 But it must be kept in
mind that the full moon is not one which
we see, or even the astronomical full moon,
but an entirely ecclesiastical and imaginary
full moon, which follows the true full moon
two and sometimes three days. One object
OF this arrangement was to keep Easter from
falling on the same day as the Jewish Pass
over. This was not entirely accomplished,
as they fell on the same day in 1905 and i'm
1925, and will again in 1908, in 1923, in
1927, and in 1881. Easter is never before
the 22d Of March nor after the 25th Of April.
In 1901 and 1918 Easter fell on the I'D of
March, but will not do so again during the
next century. IL fell on the 23i OF March
in 1916 and in 1856, but will not do so again
until 1913. 1t fell on the 18th of April in
1856, but will not do so again until 1913. As
we have said before, the rule is much too
complicated for easy explanation. 1t is the
result of a violent agitation which convulsed
the Christian world in A. ID. 152, and was
finally settled by the Council of Nice in 325.

from Little Rock, Ark, under Gen. Il. A.

tion of our command, probably 1000 intan-
try, and Rabb's battery, made the trip.
Our destination. as we learned LATER was
Camden, where our disastrous campaign the
previous Spring in cooperation with Banks's
Red River iasco had ended. We took 30
days raiions with us, and Gen. Carr had
issued strict orders against foragng. 1t
seems strange, but the experience of every
old comrade will bear me out, once that order
is promulgated the ratiOns furnished

was lost in manufacturing opportunities.

reputation of being the best provider for the

This expedition was known as the wet
raid" as il rained almost necessarily from
the time we left camp at Little Rock till,
after striking Camden, we returned 10 Pine
Bluffs. At the site of our fearful fight with
the combined forces of Kirby Smith and
Price at Jenkins's Ferry, April 90, 1864,
we found still many sad reminders of the
terrible battle against overwhelming odds.
The most distressing was the skeletons Of
seven Of our men, who had evidently been
severely wounded and crawled away for
shelter from the fearful fire. Five were TO-
gether under a low-branching holly tree, over
which clambered a rattan and muscadine
graIeyine that turned it into perfect bower.
Here the poor wounded creatures had either
died before our army effected IFS crossing or
kwere too weak TO attract attention, and were
left TO face the added horrors of death by
starvation.
A little way from them we found two
Others in a large hollow in the trunk of an
old sycamore, some sticks and pieces of bark
indicating that one of them at least had con-
triEed to add somewhat 10 the shelter of

their bones together into grave by the old
sycamore, where the evening winds murmur

How He Cured His Mother.

Mound City, S. Dak.ALast Winter my
mother became dangerously sick, having
caught terrible cold.I9 Tie doctors declared
that she was suffering with an attack OF
81" La grippe" They succeeded in relieving
her somewhat of her ailment, but she
never was entirely cured. She experienced
extreme weakness, had occasional chlls,
poor appetite; in fact, her entire system
seemed 10 be out Of. order. 1t was these
things that prompted me to send to Dr.
Fahrney for trial beS of DIR. Peters Blood
Vitalizer. And now, TO our great joy,
before she has used all of that box she is
well and rs spry and active as her age can
admit. We are very thankful for the I'M
expected results. Thomas Voigt
In the facilitating after effects of La
grippe" there is probably no remedy which
has achieved such remarkable success as Dr.
Peters Blood Vitalizer 1t is not handled
by druggists, but by local Vitalizer agents.
