Obituary.

A bright light has gone out. A va
cancy has happened in home which
never can be filed. Death, the great
arch-enemy of life, has invaded our
neighborhood and taken from US a
most devout Christian in the person of
Mrs. Mary j. Seal. She was born
July y, 1874; died June %, 1896.
Being sick ever since last September,
she was confined to her bed most of
the time and her sufferings were severe;
but she bore them with admirable for
titude and repeatedly expressed will
lingness to die and be at rest. Good
physicians and kind friends and rela-
tives did all that they could do, but to
no avail; it was Gods will and she
passed away. She was intensely re-
ligious and she exerted an influence
that never can be erased upon those
who came contact with her. No one
can tell how much she will be missed
among her relatives and her friends.
A large concourse of friends and
relatives followed her remains to Its
last resting place. where they were de-
posted in Liberty church yard. Her
pains have all ceased and her sufferings
have all ended now, and her soul Is at
rest.
Why should we mourn for departing
friends, or shake at deaths alarme
It is but the voice that Jesus sends
to call US TO his arms. A FRIEND.

No Nomination Yet.

The National Democratic Conven-
tion assembled at Chicago Tuesday.
The National Committee nominated
Senator Hill of New York for Tenn
porary Chairman, but the silverites
turned him down, and elected Senator
Daniels of Virginia in his stead. A
16 to l platform was adopted Thurs
day by over two-thirds vote.
The Convention, after hearing the
nominating speeches for the various
candidates, last night, adjourned to 10
o'clock to-day (Friday.) The REGIS
TER delayed issuing one day, hoping
to present the nominees to its readers;
but it can delay no longer. Bland ap-
pears to have the call, but "there's
many a Slip" and no man can tell what
q political convention will do until il
has adjourned sine die!

The Madison county Democrat pro-
poses that we come over and examine
the Marvin Collegiate Institute for
ourselves, and publishes an account of
the first annual commencement of that
institution as a refutation of the
charges that have from time to time
been made in connection with it. We
reply by asking Bro. Chew II he is
willing that a disinterested architect
pass upon the value Of the building,
and that Conference shall investigate
all the details of its location, includ-
ing the representations to District Con-
ferences made by certain ministers
and others to influence the action OF
these bodies? The REGISTER has had
no particular interest in the matter.
1t has lcng been satisfied, however,
that Conferences are manipulated along
the lines that railroads manipulate
legislatures, and has given prominence
to the discussion merely to cali atten-
tion to that fact.

THE following from the New York
Sun, professed "sound money" paper,
in its Chicago correspondence, is about
as neat bit of sarcasm as we have
read for many a day: almost every
thing in life is an object lesson for
good or i'll, say the old philosophers,
and the Democratic National Conven-
ton city was treated this afternoon to
an object lesson on the currency ques-
tion which evidently was of more value
to the great throng that witnessed it
than a thousand speeches from long
haired orators or the coming of a
thousand books on the abstruse ques-
tions of political economy. The Michi-
gan Central station on the lake front
was crowded with delegates and their
friends when the train bearing the
Hon. William G. Whitney and his
special party rolled in. The party oc-
cupied three of the most richly adorned
parlor cars In the service of the road.
There were baths and dining rooms
and state-rooms in these cars, and
there was every convenience and lux
ury known to the civilized world. All
in the party were adorned with the la
test style of clothes. aud most of those
in the party were very rich men.
They were the leaders of the gold
men, who are to make the fight against
the silver men in this Convention.
Most of those in the party have been
accustomed during most of their years
to the luxuries and the finer things OF
life. This party was in sharp contrast
with the silver men who have been
here for nearly week at the Sherman
House. There is no doubt but that
they have had every comfort at the
Sherman House, but the surroundings
OF these silver men in their headquar-
ters are dingy and not at all to be COM
pared with the luxury which surrounds
Mr.. Whitney and most of his party,
who have put up at the Auditorium.
For the moment most of those who
witnessed the landing of the Whitney
party were gold men. When they saw
the Whitney party again at the Audi
torium in the vast parlors assigned to
them they were still favorable to the
gold wing of the Democratic party.
There were men in the throng who
left this scene of great luxury and
visited the headquarters of the silver
men, and the contrast was so marked
that for the moment everybody wanted
to be gold man and with the gold
men stand. Many were inclined to
believe that the mere surroundings OF
the gold men as compared with the
silver men should be accepted as the
greatest argument in favor of the gold
standard. If the gold standard produ-
ces the luxury and the beautiful things
in life, while the advocacy of the white
metal results only in ordinary comforts
and somewhat dingy surroundings,
then the folks out this way are ready
to believe tonight that they are very
partial to the gold standard"

WILLIAM L. WILSON at one time
stood high in the councils of the Dem
ocratic party. He made a speciality OF
the subject of taxation, and was regard
ed as one of the ablest tribunes OF the
people. In an evil hour he fell under
the influence OF Cleveland and Standard
Oil. He abandoned the cause of the
people in their fight against the Money
Devil, and he failed of reelection to
his seat in Congress. He was trans
ferred TO Mr.. CieYeland's hospital, and
became his clerk in the Post Office De-
partment. The Democrats OF his State
ran an express train over him in the
recent West Virginia Convention.
The remains have uttered couple of
columns of tommyrot on the money
question, through the columns of the
Republican press. Mr.. Wilson has
gone to join Mills and Carlisle. It is
hard to convince the average politi-
clan that the people can not be fooled
all the time. Keeping in touch with
the present administration and failing
to keep in touch with the people has
given occasion for Mr.. Wilson's tomb
stone. Mr.. Wilson, and Mr.. Mills,
Carlisle, and other erstwhile leaders.
have passed over the river and have
become memories. So let it be with
every man who places policy before
principles.

Last summer one of our grand child
rem was sick with a severe bowel
trouble. Our doctors remedies had
failed, then we tried Chamberlain s
Collie, Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy,
which gave very speedy relief. We
regard it as the best menicine ever put
on the market for bowel com plants

Mo. This certainly is the best medi-
cine ever put on the market for dysen-
terry, summer complaint, collie and

fails TO give prompt relief when used
in reasonable time and the plain print

mothers have expressed their sincere
gratitude for the cures it has effected.

THERE are still few blankty-dashed
