BRABSTER VESTS LETTER.
Silver Men Threatehed-The Remedy
Why Grover Deserves Thanks.

why Grover Deserves Thanks.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 26-The
situation remains unchanged. Hanna
is keeping his hand over McKinley's
mouth to prevent any utterance upon
the financial question until the Demo
cratic convention has acted. Grover
Cleveland has been fishing at the mouth
of the James river. His piscatorial pur-
suits will be confined to Salt Creek next
year. Teller has said nothing save that
he is willing to support any tried and
true friend of silver for the Presidency,
and does not desire the nomination
himself. Whitney and Hill have Sc
cured gold delegation to the Chicago
convention from New York State, but
am credibly informed that it was done
with difficulty, for the farmers of west
ern New York are almost unit for
free silver.
The administration cuckoos are send
ing outletters to Southern Democrats,
appealing to them to stay the silver
tide, and threatening that if they persist
in their free silver theories they need
look for no further financial aid in their
business enterprises from Eastern cap
italists. When their outstanding obli-
cations are due, no further extension of
time will be given them, and they will
be required TO pay UP OF suIIer Cne con-
sequences. They may turn to their
free silver friends in the West, but they
are apt to find the latter class without
capital, except what they obtain
through their Eastern connections.
When their debts are due their creditors
will not be satisfied with 80 cents on the
dollar, and the result is they will de-
mand dollar for dollar or foreclose the
mortgages they hold upon their prop
erty. 1t is understood that this is the
kind of logic ex-Secretary Whitney and
his sound money associates will apply
in dealing with the Southern represen,
tatives at Chicago, and it is boldly SC
stated in the Washington Post.
With regard to this / consulted a
prominent attorney of this city, who
promptly said that such action on the
part of the administration, its cuckoos
and the national bankers, who in the
South represent the gold conspirators
was in cOntravention of section 55OS OF
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, which reads thus:
"If two or more persons conspre tc
injure, oppress, threaten or intimidatt
any citizen in the free exercise or enjoy
ment of any right or privilege secured

A woman never really knows the mean
ing of happiness and content until she is
the mother of n healthy, happy child. The
health OF the child depends on the health
of the mother both before and after birth.

ularly the weakness that most strongly
influence the health of children, comes
from some arrangement or disease OF the
distinctly feminine organs. DR.. Plerces

SANTA FE.

SANTA FE, June 29.-The thermome-
ter stands at 80 degrees these June
days, with frequent showers, inter-
spersed with an occasional insinuation
of cyclone, which has tangled and
blown down the corn and wheat shocks.
Wheat threshing commenced last
week in good earnest, but owing to the
frequent showers the wheat was too
wet to thresh, and little progress was
made. The yield is much below an av-
erage crop, the quality being inferior.
The farmers are rather discouraged
with the outlook of a profitable money
crop out of wheat this year.
Most of the farmers are done plowing.
The corn crop is looking remarkably
well, where it has been well cultivated.
Misses Leila Sparkman and Lena
Jones, who have been teaching this

body church-goer and Sabbath school
scholar, Biblereader, etc.-goods are

Messrs. w. II. Cook and G. Wither-

The sunshine and frequent showers
have made the pastures uncommoniy
fine, and stock are doing remarkably
well, with the exception of some hog
cholera.
The apple and peach crops are light
The black berry crop was never better
or more abundant. Garden-stuff in the
greatest profusion. Look out for chol-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an iniamed
condition of the mucous surfaces. We will
give One Hundred Dollars for any case OF
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
