To recent letter to the manufac-
turers, Mr.. w. F. Benjamin, editor of
the Spectator, Rushford, n. T., says:
at may be a pleasure to youto know
the high esteem in which Chamber
lain's medicines are held by the peo-
pie OF your own State, where they
must be known. An aunt of mine,
who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was
about to visit me few years since,
and before leaving home wrote me,
asking if they were sold here, stating
if they were not she would bring a
quantity with her, as she did not like
to be without them.' The medicines
referred to are Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, famous for its cures of
coils and Group; Chamberlain
Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame
back, pains in the side and chest,
and Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel
complaints. These medicines have
been in constant use in Iowa for al
most a quarter Of a century. The
people have learned that they are
articles of great worth and merit,
and unequaled by any other. They
are for sale here by L. G Matthaei,
Druggist.

Blaine -BeaIe Divorce Suit.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Oct. 20.-The di-
vorce of Harriet Blaine Beale from
Truxton Besle was decreed to-day.
In Aptil, 1884, Miss Hattie, the
youngest daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs
Blaine, was united in marriage with
Truxson Beale at The Blaine resi-
dence ca Lafayette Square. Wash
ington. It was in all respects on au-
spicious event. They were young
people and it was said TO be love
match. They had numerous friends,
and, ostensibly, money enough Mrs.
Blaine, in widows weeds. attended
the ceremony, as well as Mrs. Beale,
the mother Of TIuxton.
All ran smoothly until the follow
ing winter, when the announcement
came from Washington that there
was difficulty. although at that time
there was no definite information as
to the cause. Attempts at reconcil-
iation followed. Young Besle came
to Maine and visited his wife at her
home, taking her away to Newport,
and i. was hoped that the difficulty
had ended. But it bad not. and in
the fall she returned 10 her mother,
with whom she has since resided.
The arrangement between ihe
couple had become so great that it
was deemed advisable by the friends
of the lady that she apply to the
courts to have the marriage annull-
ed. The sympathies OF Augusta peo-
PIE are all with Hattie, who is now
but twenty-four years of age. They
think she is an innocent and I'M
blamable party.

Campaign Notes.

The most pressing money question
is that of wages for the people and
a revenue for the government.
It requires no argument to see
why Bryan and his followers do not
want to talk about protection.
Among the best speeches being
made in this campaign are those
coming from that little two-story
porch at Canton.
1t is the mills and not the mints
that millions of workers want open
ed. Stop the wheels in the head and
let the wheels in the machine shoPs
60 around.
Bryan is now being called the
business killer. He N an d e s
through the East making silver
speeches and the mills and factories
close in his wake.
Mr.. Mckinley said : "Good mon
ey never made hard times" Mr..
Bryan said "Money can be too
good" Will the people of this
country have difficulty in determin-
ing which is right?
After reading Bryan's wool rec
ord in Congress the farmer who
votes for him must either have a
forgiying disposition, or in his wits
be on the wrong side OF the non
compos mentis boundary line.
A farmers illustration Of the So
cent silver dollar is that 1t would
be like Offering for sale calf label
ed This is twins" and demanding
double price for it. And still some
people pretend to think that farmers
are not watching public affairs.
Is the story true that thousands
of laboring men are wearing McKin-
ley buttons who intend to vote for
Bryan? We rather guess not. The
laboring man is not that sort of a
hypocrite, if we correctly estimate
him, and it is an insult to him to
say otherwise.

II Mr.. Bryan is the friend Of the
farmer, as he claims, why don't be
advocate policy establishing tx
ed price for the products OF the farm?
This would be more reasonable and
benefit more people than to give to
the silver mine owners, twenty of
whom are worth $sOO,O0O,0O0, one
dollar for every fifty cents worth of
silver taken from their mines.

Keane's Successor.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The board
of directors of the Catholic Univer-
sity adjourned at l o'clock to-day,
after having selected the names of
three priests TO submit to the Pope,
from which list Leo will select the
successor to Bishop Keane as rector
OF the University.
It was decided not to make the
names public at this time. The va
eancv or the board Of directors oil

of Bishop Martin, was filed BIZ the

TILE RRYAN DLKIDE.

Splitting a silver dollar in two
equal parts, BY placing a Govern
ment stamp on it and making it
worth dollar to the mine owner,
and only worth one half to the man
who receives it for his labor, mater
ials or products, is the sublimity of
ridiculosity and the acme of rascali-
ty. A man would be o fool to take
fifty cents worth Of silver for a hun
bred cents worth of labor or farm
products. Bryan had better split
his breeches in two parts and go
around with one leg on as a living
example of demagogy and monetros-
ity, or he had better cut himself in
two and see how much the people
would want of one half of him, to
say nothing of him as whole. The
divide is unequal, and the people
know it. Talk about classes against
the masses, why any half idiot can
see that this is class legislation, and
can only benefit one class-the mine
owners, and that without intercom-
mercial significance or value. Wear
your breecbes with both legs on and
be q man. Vote for Mckinley and
Hobart and the Republican local
ticket. Therein is safety.

The climax to Mr.. Governs splen-
did speech at Germania Maenner-

BILE a ticket as that composed of
Palmer and Buckner, both of whom
are admirable men, standing on a

have got double barreled gun-the
burglars are after you-let them
have both barrels" Free Silver men
are placed on the Gold Ticket with
out the consent, and in many cases
against the wishes of the supporters
Of that ticket. This has been done,
we charge, by free silverites and not
by the Sound Money Democracy.

16 to l, yells Bryan and his CO..
terie of sycophants. Husband and
vile says the law, and the twain are
one. Sixteen to one says Mormon
ism, and Brigham Young and his
followers take up the trail and pre-
empt all the trashy women they can
find, put a fiat seal of the saints on
them, and call them wives. Are they
fiat wives or are they mere concu-
bines +? 1t took the Government a
long time to corral this immoral, un-
lawful and licentious dealing under
the guise of religion Of 16 to l, but
the Government, by authority of the
people, has been, and is throttling
the iniquity. This fully illustrates
Organism, for, as matter of ratio,
at least, the principle is the same.
We do not want any such wedlock
between the commercial values OF
this country. Gold and silver must
be at parity, and no good citizen
should sell himself and the honor of
his country to silver baron, have a
fiat seal placed on him, and, with
others, become mere servants OF a
hallucination equal to that Of the
Norman mania. It is despicable
degradation, full of destruction, that
should not only be avoided, but be
terribly beaten.

While Candidate Bryan is going
about the country telling fairy tails
Of what he and his policy viii do fer
the poor. the ques ion naturally
arises "What has he ever done for
the working poor Is it his habit or
nature TO feel for and try To relieve
the suffering of those less fortunate
in life than himself ?,
His most loyal supporters make
no claims that he has ever shown
this feeling for his fellowmen until
now. To fact, he has no record of
ever having gone out of his way to
do anything for what be calls the
ssmasses.p On the other hand, Mai.
Mckinley, while not posing as one
who "weeps for the Masses, has
a record. He says nothing about
the occurrence which gave the world
an insight into the heart of the man,
an occurrence which demonstrated
that he was the friend of those who
are poor and hungry, but a great
multitude remembers it. Such acts
live in the memory of those who
learn their bread by the sweat of
their face.'
In speaking of Maj Mckinley the
Grand Rapids Herald says:
mo account of McKinley's con-
nection with labor problems would
be complete without some mention
of the tireless energy which he dis
played in securing relief for the 1000
miners in the Hooking valley min
ing district, who early in lS95were
reported out of work and destitute.
The news first came to the governor
at midnight, but before 5 O'Clock in
the morning be had upon his own re-
sponsibility dispatched to the af-
ficted district a car containing
$1,000 worth of provisions. Later he
made appeals for assistance and fl
nally distributed among the 2,723
families in the district clothing and
provisions to the amount of $780,

HoNoR. RAsoALITY. KHIcH 2

HONOR, RASCALTTY, WHICH
What would you think of a man
who would borrow one hundred dol
lars from you, promising to pay
back one hundred dollars, who, by
the passage of law, could legally
pay you with fifty dollars, and would
do so? You would undoubtedly call
him a scoundrel, and rightly SO.
That is just what Mr.. Bryan, If he
is elected, proposes that this coun-
try shall do. Pay its just debts,
which it contracted to pay dollar for
dollsr, with dollars worth only fifty
cents. Such an act might be legal
ly right, but would not be in accord
ance With the history OF our coun-
try, which has always paid its debts
in a dollar that was worth one
hundred cents. We DO not want to
enter upon a policy that would cause
the nations of the world TO point the
finger Of shame at US as country
that has repudiated lis obligations
and brought dishonor upon its bith-
erto unblemished record.

were received from all the pastorates

Institute, the only Baptist eduea-

All of these were encouraging. The
question of establishing dormitory
for Baptist students at the State
University, where Baptist young
men and women could secure cheap
board, was discussed, but action was
deferred. This plan has been put
into operation by the Episcopal
Church with great success to both
the students and tt University. A
separate school nea' ae university

ministry while attending the State
University is also to be considered.

ty; secretary, A. G. Loving, of
Huntington; treasurer, w. F. Ad-

THAT BRYAN DOLLAR.

sion that he had been tossed for
more than fun on the horns of the
King Bull Silver Monopoly, until
feathers, energy and pride had well
nigh deserted him, and scarcely
strength enough remained to lift his
dropping wings and support the body
upon the hairless, grinning, hideous
skull of labor, while from his long
bill comes the weak scream of it's
monetary significance, "In God We
Trust-for the other forty-seuen
cents" There is better political
argument in this Bryan dollar than
words can give. Does it not prove
the inevitable result if the man be
elected ? Monetary history and COM
mon sense shows that the value of a
metal in a coin is fixed by the inner
ent qualities and not by the fiat of
government. Legislation can no
more infuse value into a worthless
substance than it can impart weight
to IT. The Government might de-
clare shells dollars, but they are

Divine Power who rules over the
