Although the American eagle has had
his tail feathers dangerously near the
grasp of the British lion several times i'll
the past, this country has always been
either blessed, or cursed, with men who
cared more for an opportunity OF Haunt
ing their wisdom in the shape Of long
Winded diplomacy than ing maintaining
the dignity (as the representatives, OF a
populous and patriotic nation) OF
country as strong and willing to fight
as any country that could take issue
with her, until Grover. Cleveland set the
pace and Secretary Olney voiced his sell
timents i'll langu age as well chosen as it
was unequivocial regarding the wishes
and will of this United States. How
quick We're the republican organs to
parade the statementthatt there We're no
politics in the matter: that it was simply
the voice of the people. Now the demo
cratic papers have i'll no way attempted
to lug the matter into politics, hence are
not called upon to register a denial to
the charge made i'll some quarters that
it was simply political dodge upon
Cleveland's part to manufacture political
capital for his party. The people will
recognize the fact quick enough that
the democratic party, is the party OF
liberty and that when the question Of
is raised it Yields the palm
tonone! But if tles principles enunci-
ated i'll the democratic platform are not
of the kind the Intelligent voters wants
the party is not after Ills sufferages upon
any other ground. President Cleveland
simply did his duty as he saw it and
that is all his party are giving himcsedit
for Ii republican officials had always
manifested the same fidelity to duty
they might not now be smoking their
thumbs in retirement.

The american house oflords (the sell
ate) have given the organs OF the repub-
lican party abitterpill to swallow, in the
shape OF a recent financial measure intro
duced and passed in that body. For the
past year; or more. republican papers
have been calling their party the party
OF honest money and have been unspar-
in their structures on the advocates OF
what they called the free silver heresay.
The people Of the United States now be-
hold the lion and the lamb living down
together. The free silver men are
allowed to dominate the report OF the
senate committee on finance and bring
in favorable report for what amounts
practically to as much Of the free silver
idea as the friends Of that theory hoped
to gain for it for several wears to come.
And this is politics The party that
delights in calling itself great and spends
much OF it's time looking at itself in the
political mirror now hobnoDbllng with
representatives OF party that has been
the butt OF it's ridicule for years past!
The ter are to be CONDEMNED in fully as
grpat Il degree as the former for 40 far
Mget ting, or demeaning, themselves as
TO have anything to do with the former
But Il kind providence viii have to keep
a watchful eye upon the editors Of the
aforesaid republican honest (?) money
journals, or they will go completely
daft Some Of them are like the big
English battle ship that Went down
some time ago-they couldn't make the
turn quick enough. They have been fir
ing their biggest gun without taking the
precantion to sight them and when the
smoke clears away they will find that
they have done more damage i'll the
ranks OF their own party than elsewhere.
It's Il very sad state OF affairs!

The following, which has never been in print before was written thirty years ago by Miss Clara White, Of OrcuttvilIe, and was found in filling box in the mill at that time, addressed to NJ. C. Pascoe, now Mrs. o. L., Fletcher: THE OLD RED SCHOOL-HOUSE. Dost remember the dingy old house, my
 friend,
 The red schOol-house, that stood on the
 hill, Where our youthful ideas were taught
 how to shoot By persons of talent and skill: 0, can you not see the old edifice now, With the paint half worn off of each
 side, And it's weather worn shutters hooked
 back to the boards, And it's door so invitingly wide? As our feet press again the old rickety
 floor,
 Not an object seems changed in the
 least Prom the shelves in the corner just back
 of the door
 To the "hypocrite bench' on the east. We. can see the long desks built with
 backs to the wall, And the seats that were perched up so
 high Where the first class and second looked
 stately and tall To my wondering juvenile eye. How often sat on the bench at their feet, And anxiously wished for the day When might turn round on those won
 derful seats,
 As free and important as they; And the rusty old stove in the center still
 stands,
 As it stood in the days long ago, When we all huddled round it to warm
 our cold hands, After sliding down hill in the snow. But we must not forget the old attic O'er-
 head
 How the boys hunted mice there for fun I remember that once they went up there
 at noon,
 And remained until school had begun.
The Press., 1896-02-13

All is quiet o'erhead till the torches de-
 scend
 In shower of fire to the floor, And the boys, jumping down just behind
 them, pretend
 That they knew not twas school-time
 before. This was during the rule of the captain,
 you know
 The captain whose surname was Putt A pompous young fellow, no doubt good
 beau,
 But, as te0cAe,., remarkably fiat. Some others there were, not much better
 than he
 Eb. Robbins and Theodore Ladd- The latter in after years an M. D. What elegant manners he had Can we ever forget how his nasal tones
 rang
 Through the room, as he lOftily said, ''Less noise and more study" then rattle
 tO-bang-
 The old ferule just missed some rogue'e
 head. But my time and your patience would
 never permit
 To rehearse cen the names of them all Who at different seasons our parents saw fit
 In the pedagogue's chair to install. Our school-mates were scattered, long since, far and wide; They are breasting the pillows of life, Though some of us near the old places abide, Far removed from earth's busiest strife; And some have gone down through the valley of shades,
 And their places are vacant to-day; They have yielded to Him whom no nor. tai evades,
 And their foot prints are passing away And the sc1Sool-hOwse Is gone; it will never again
 With the laughter of childhood resound Many years have passed by since the win ter night when It was suddenly burned to the ground But around it cling many remembrances yet
 That have power our spirits to thrill; And while memory lasts we will never forget The old schOOl-house that stood on tin,

THE IDEAL PANACEA.-JameS l.. Fran cis, Alderman, Chicago, says "I regard Dr. Kings New Discovery as an Ideal Panacea for Coughs, Colds and Lung Complaints, having used it in my family for the last five years, to the exclusion of physician's prescriptions or other prepara, tions." Rev. John Burgus, Keokuk, Iowa, writes: "I have been Minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church for 90 years or more, and have never found any thing so beneficial, or that gave me such speedy relief as Dr. Kings New Dis covery." Try this Ideal Cough Remedy now. Trial Bottles Free at E. K. Taft's drug store
 FOR MEN OF SOCIETY. What is the use of dressing up to pay a call when that cough makes you a burden to yourself and a nuisance to your friends? Take something for it. There is nothing as good as a twenty-five cent bottle of EIY's PINEoLA BALsAM, which is soothing to the throat and beneficial in all disease of the throat and lungs. It will relieve the cough at once, and in a few days you will almost forget that you have had a cough.
