Since succeeding the above-named firm,
whose entire stock, fixtures and good will we
have purchased, we have remodeled the cele-
brated Braddock Distillery in all Its APP
purtenances, until it now stands without
rival as one of the most complete plants in
the United States for the manufacture of a
perfectly pure all-rye Whiskey for medicinal
or other purposes free from fusel or other
poisonous oils 50 frequently found in less
reliable goods.
We have testimonials from leading phys
icians III all parts of the country commencing
the paddock for its medicinal properties
Among the latest is one from Professor
J. II. Mallet. the distinguished chemist of
the University Of Virginia, who, at our re-
quest, made very careful analysis of it, and
writes as follows:
1.-The sample of Braddock sent me upon
analysis contains no sulphates nor heavy
metals such as "copper" lead or zinc, and APP

AROUND The CAPITAL.
Congressman and Senators Are
Little Diffident In Expressing
Their Opinions.

Washington, Dec. Neither the
house nor senate had a good oDpor-
tunity of judging the presidents mes
sage by the public reading of it. Mem
bers and senators were chary in their
comments afterwards.
Congressman Grosvenor (O.)-The
treatment of the Cuban and other for
eign matters will not be satisfactory TO
those who have earnestly hoped for the
early action of cur country in the in
terest of an early cessation of the
wholesale murder in the unhappy island
of Cuba.
Francis G.. Newlands (silverite) of
Nevada-Said that the remedy for
financial ills proposed by the president.
namely, the retirement of the green
backs and the substitution of national
bank notes, will not give relief.
Mr.. Loud (Rep., Cal.)-The position of
the president on Cuban affairs should
receive the commendation of all Amer
leans. 1t is dignified, yet it is suffi-
GENTLY aggressive TO intimate TO Spain
that this country is anxiously watching
the events in Cuba with the hope that
further effusion of blood and needless
loss of property may be prevented in
some honorable manner without out
side. intervention
Speaker Reed-It seems hardly neces-
sary to comment upon the message It
is calm in tone and on the Cuban ques-
ton will be much more satisfactory to
the country that it would have been a
year ago.

NEWLANDS OF NEVADA.
HE Is WI LING TO SEE A TARIFF
BILL PASSED.
believes lis Application VIII Show
That Protection Cannot Bring
Back Prosperity, and That the
Real Balm For All Our Troubles
Is Free silver.

Chicago, Dec. IA Washington spec
ial says: Congressman Newlands of
Nevada arrived last evening. He is
the most pronounced silver man on
the Republican side of the house, so
much so that he classes himself as
the one representative in the house of
the silver party.
He expresses the belief that the sill
yer Republicans in the senate will not
oppose the passage of either the Ding
ley bill by this congress or a ReDub-
lican protective tariff bill by the next
one. He says that he favors this
course upon the ground that it will
furnish the proof that the lack of sill
YER currency is the true cause of the
depression in this country.
Let us have the Republican tariff,
said he, and see whether it will bring
the good times promised. If it does,
we'll and good. If it does not, then
we shall have proof that it is the de-
monetization Of silver which has made
the trouble, and the people will settle
the question very quickly"
Mr. NewlandS expresses the opinion
that the silver Republican senators will
hold to this view aud make no ooDo-
sition to the passage Of the Dingley
bill by this congress OF. more radical
tariff act by the next congress. He
says he has talked withsa number of
them on the subject and is confident
that this will be their course.

the attention closely until you come to
the disheartening conclusion. In we'll
balanced periods, sympathy for the
struggling patriots and friendship and
admiration for Spain are equally dis
pensed. With the happy consciousness
of having unloaded everything, this
wonderful statesman winds up his last
message to congress with a beautiful
tribute to himself: when our diff
ferences are forgotten and our contests
of political opinion are no longer re-
membered. nothing in the retrospect
of our public service will be as for
tunate and comfortable as the recollec-
ton of official duty we'll performed,
and the memory of a constant devo-
ton to the interests of our confiding
fellow countrymen." His confding fell
low countrymen will not doubt that
the final paragraph at least is Mr..
Cleveland's own. Only two men who
ever lived could have written it, and
Mr.. Pecksniff is dead.
The Times: Mr.. Cleveland makes a
singularly clear statement of the pres
ent situation, and of the course of
events that has produced it.
The Tribune: 1t is now more than
Il years since Cleveland, by his nomi-
nation against Mr.. Blaine, became the
unquestioned leader of a great national
party. To him it is largely due that
a disastrous condition in the tariff has
been effected, and but for him the
effort of that party to debase the ma
tional currency and tarnish the ma
tiOnal honor would have prevailed.
New York Herald: President Cleve-
land notes that affairs in Cuba are
worse than they were year ago; that
Spain has not succeeded in establish
ing her authority, and that the puta-
tive Cuban government exists only on
paper, and that both sides are now
engaged in a wholesale humiliation of
property under which the industrial
value of the island must soon be
wiped out.
The Journal: The space which
President Cleveland devotes to the re-
ciprocal interests of Cuba, Spain and
the United States in his last annual
message to congress indicates that he
is not wholly insensible to the agita-
ton of the question which has long pro-
crossed in this country. But his con-
illusions show beyond a doubt that he
will leave to his successor the honor of
taking the first step to assure Cuban
liberty.

Washington. Dec. THE first day
of the second session of the Fifty
fourth congress presented no remark
able features. There were II senator's
in their seats and is absentees. The
presidents annual message (Which ap-
pears elsewhere) was read without APP
parently evoking any special interest.
the only exception TO that rule being
to the portions of the message de-
voted to Armenian outrages and to the
revolution in Cuba. On the first Of
these subjects the president states his
belief that the present sombre pros
pect in Turkey will not be long per-
mitted to offend the sight of Chris
tendon"
The presiden ts discussion of the
Cuban question is extensive and i'm
partial but its summing UP indicates
the temper and views of the admins
tration. 1t is in these words: When
the inability of Spain to deal success
fully with the insurrection has become
manifest, situation will be pre-
selteu IN which our obligations to- the
sovereignty of Spain will be super
seeded by higher obligations which we
can hardly hesitate to recognize and
DISCHARGE"
These declarations appeared to OBJ
tain. general favor and approval. The
message covered IS printed pamphlet
pages and its reading occupied one
hour and fftv minutes.

NE SSAGES IN MIDAIR.
Successful EXPERIMENT. With Kite
Telephone and Telegraph.

Bayonne, N. J., Dec. 7.-William A
Eddy and DR.. W. II. Mitchell sent the
first kite telephone and telegraph mes
sage in the world over midair wire,
sustained by three large kites, at $3.50
Saturday night. Morse saunders and
telegraph signals were also sent by
means of battery. The wire was car
ried aloft by three kites. A red Ian
tern was attached TO an end of wire
passing through a pulley, held at a
height of about 500 feet, and paid out
upward and beyond intervening OBJ
stacles. When the lantern had been
carried over the line of Lexington ave-
nue., it was slowly lowered, carrying
the wire with it to the earth, where
DR.. Mitchell soon established ground
connections at each end of the wire
when the first telephone message was
received by Mr.. Eddy. DR.. Mitchell's
voice was heard with perfect clearness.
A telegraph signal by the usual Morse
sounder was also successfully trans
mitted. The telephone message and
telegraph signals We're continued about
an hour and a half The kites were sent
up at 4:30 p. M, the telephone wire at
s p. m. and the kites were drawn in at
1880 o. m. Mr. Eddy says the wire
can be carried across the Kill Won Kull
river readily.

FOR DROUTH SUFFERERS.
Governor Foster, of Louisiana, Gives
Corn For Their Relief.

New York, Dec. IA Sun special
from New Orleans says: Governor
Foster has appointed a committee of
four to arrange for the distribution of
corn and other supplies in the parts
of northern Louisiana stricken by
drouth, and authorized the committee
to draw on the state treasury to the
amount of $50, 600. The members of
the committee went to st. Louis re-
Gently, arranged their purchase of
corr at cheap figure, and secured
from the railroads reduced rates on
all shipments of supplies to the drouth
section.
The governor yesterday authorized
the committee to go on with their
work. The state will pay the freight
on the corn, and sell it at cost to the
north Louisiana farmers, or give it to
those who cannot afford to pay. There
are seven parishes affected and sub
committees in each will see to the prop
er distribution of the corn and the
other supplies. The money set aside
for this purpose is the balance of the
direct tax fund paid over to the state
by the United States several years
ago.

1T has been held by the courts that
in discharging member of the depart
ment there must be evidence adduced
to show the reason why. Judge Bartch
held that it was not a sufficiency OF
the evidence in the Gilbert case which
prompted him to make a decree re
instatin- him, but the lack of it.
Mr.. Cohn then related little law
for the benefit of the commission, in
which he cited the functions of the
board as being quasi-jUdicial and con-
sequently anything which would be an
error in a court of law would be an
error in the commission. Having fin
ished his legal dissertation, the speaker

Canton, O., Dec. THE burden of the
talk in Canton and at the home of the
president-elect today was about Presi-
dent Cleveland's message to congress.
The people about the town discussed it.
The visitors discussed it, and some of
the congressman who were here today
mildly criticised certain parts of it.
Major Mckinley read it from copy
furnished him by one of the telegraph
companies an hour or two before con-
gress assembled. The opening SEN
tence, with it's strong implied approval
of the results of the recent election,
seemed full of pleasant interest for
the president-elect, though he made no
verbal comment upon any part of the
document. He read aloud parts of it
to a group of friends, and they COM
mented occasionally on some of the
writer's observations. Major Mckinley
turned to the portion of the message
devoted to a consideration of Cuban
affairs with the keenest interest and
read it aloud in clear, incisive, earnest
tones A congressman who was near
by said:
president Clevelands exposition Of
the Cuban problem and his statement
of the existing conditions is just,
graphic and conservative, and it is
much less sympathetic with the insur-
gents than the people hoped for. 1 do
not think his idea about home rule
for Cuba will come to anything practi-
cal, for the Cubans will not trust the
Spanish government and would put no
faith in their fairest promises. ItIooks
to me as though we would have to
recognize the insurgents as belliger-
ents within 80 days"

a new cabinet possibility has swung
into view this evening. The name for

Canton and Cleveland is that of
Colonel Henry A. Dupont of Delaware.
Said a friend of his tonight: Colonel
Dupont would make an excellent secre-
tary OF war, and under certain contin-
gencies may be seriously considered for
the position. He is a graduate of West
Point, served with distinction through
the war and is a capable and highly
successful man of affairs. He is in
every way qualified for this official po-
sition and his appointment would
offend neither of the Republican fac
tons in Delaware"
