THE POLITICIAN.

The failure of the popocrats to back
up their sudden assumption of conf
dence in Bryan's election with figures
showing the doubtful states in which
their canvass was making any gains is
proof enough, if proof were needed,
that their latest bluff belongs to the
same category with those they were
making few weeks ago about the in
crease of silver sentiment in New Eng
land and New York and their certainty
of carrying those states, and is doubt
less intended to cover up the scheme of
the silver barons to abandon Bryan and
concentrate their time and attention to
trying to retain the silver majority in
the Senate, for the purpose Of prevent
ing tariff legislation in the next Con-
gress by adding free coinage amend
ment in the Senate to any tariff bill
passed by the House. 1t is noticeable
that their alleged confidence has not
caused any popocrat to cover any of
the Mckinley money that is still being
offered everywhere at big odds. Re-
publicans are satisfied with the situa-
tion and certain of Mckinley election,
and are working and will continue to
work to make it a tidal wave. '1s -as n
Mr.. Bryan's record. short as it is, has
been full of inconsistencies. For in
stance, he never makes speech of any
length now that he does not charge
the gold standard with. being solely re.
sponsible for the lowering of prices,
yet when he was in Congress, he had a
very different idea of the cause of lower
prices, or at least he said he had. He
used the following language in speech
made on the floor Of the House little
more than four years ago: "You must
attribute it to the inventive genius
that has multiplied thousand times,
in many instances, the strength of a
single arm, and enables us to do today

. Marvellous Results, =, ..

From a letter written by Rev. J.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract: II
have no hesitation in recommending
DIR. Kings New Discovery, as the re-
suits were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While / was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible parox-
ysms of coughing would last for hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as If she could not survive them. A

and highly satisfactory in results. :"

puoH SCORED
by tho Circuit Court, Which Granted
New Trials to Iden and Abbott. tis

by tho Circuit Court, Which Granted
New Trials to Iden and Abbott. ti,
COLUMBUS, O., October 1O.-The Cir
cult Court here today reversed the de-
cisions Of guilty in the cases of ex-Sen-
ators George Iden and John @ Abbott,
convicted of legislative bribery, and
granted each a new trial. The Circuit
Court declares that Judge Pugh in his
charge misquoted the testimony of
Reading Clerk Ben Johnston, of the
House of representatives. 1t is stated
that Judge Pugh attributed to John
ston testimony which he did not give,
for instances: In answer to the question
as to what Iden said when Malloy
made a certain statement to him, the
trial Judge said that Johnston said
that Iden said nothing. On the con-
traryo the evidence shows that John
ston said: There was communication
of some kind, but !, don't know what
it was n
In reference to Abbott, the Circnit
Court states that Judge Pugh failed to
caution the jury not to consider GER
tain testimony pertaining to charges
that he solicited bribe from one per-
son, when he was on trial for soliciting
a bribe from another. 1t censures him
for reading certain testimony of a
prejudicial character to the jury. and
it also declares that he overstepped the
bounds of his authority in repeatedly
reading certain parts of the testimony
to the jury in the absence of the de-
fendant and his counsel.

VIII Not Stand.

Corn was, on the average, 8 cents o
bushel higher in gold in Chicago in 1895
than it was in 1873 Did corn go up Or
gold go down? One or the other Of
these alternatives it is necessary to &C.
cept. Silver men will tell you that gold
went up, and that it has gone up since
1878 to double its old price. Why, then,
did corn go up.
Again, silver men say silver will buy
as much Of any product as it would be-
fore the fall in silver. In 1873 371L
grains Of silver would buy as many
bushels of corn as 80, the average price,
of silver, is contained times in Sl-for
371I grains OF silver was at that time
equal to 1929 grains of gold 1t is con-
tanned exactly SO times. How much
would S7IH grains of silver-not silver
dollar, but silyer-buy of corn in 1895
AS much as 40, the average prlce of
corn, is contained times in 5O.5, which
was the average value Of 57l]1 grains of
silver in that year That is almost ex-
actly ~. il.. y,S,9.s ,5s5s
So silver that would lbuy 814 bushels
Of corn in 1878 would buy but / u 4bushel
in 1898. In other words, silver had de.
clined with respect to corn 60 per cent.
And corn is our greatest cereal crop.
The wild, reckless talk of the silver
people does not stand analysis. -Cincin.

WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

OUR friend the Rev. Mr.. Coil was
listened to last evening by large con-
gregation. His sermon, or correctly,
lecture, was on finance, the reverend
gentlemen showing a disposition to
take up with the silver side of the
issue. He told how the rich were get
ting richer, and the poor poorer. and
gave the impression that free coinage
of silver would lift up the poor man
and make him better off. The preach
er failed to say, though, how by any
easier means than he has at present
can poor man come into possession OF
one of these dollars the silver men
would have coined. Nor did he men
tion the fact that the genius who gath
ers wealth now will continue SO to do,
no matter what comes, and the poor
we will always have with us.

Honor to Ex-Governor Fuller.

Governor Grout, through Adjatant Cen
eral Peck has issued the following general
orders to the National Guard of Vermont:
AS token of respect to the memory of
Ex-Governor Levi X. Fuller, officers will
wear the usual badge of mourning when
appearing in uniform during the next thirty
da! s, and upon the receipt of this order the
flag will be displayed at half.staff at each
armory, arsenal and military headquarters,
and salute of seventeen guns fired from
the light battery at Brattleboro. In the
military service as sergeant of infantry;
aide-de camp on the staff of Governor Con-
verse; captain of Fuller's Light Battery
from 1874 to 1892, he gained an enviable
reputation and reflected great credit upon
the state He was conferred the brevet
rank of colonel in 1887. Seldom has a COM
manderin-chief been called upon to an
nounce the death of predecessor so COM
petent in the military and able in the civil
service of the state. Words fall short of a
just tribute to one who has labored so zeal
ously and efficiently for the general public
welfare. His highest eulogy is in the
hearts OF those who knew him best as sol
der and citizen"

A Gallant Deed.

Captain John II. Brown, Company
A, Forty-seventh Ohio, residing at Lo-
gan, Ind, has been awarded medal of
honor for distinguished gallantry in
action at Vicksburg, Miss, May 10,
1868 In making the charge on the
rebel works at Vicksburg, the Forty
seventh Ohio formed part of the front
line of the charging column. They
passed down steep hill, across a mar
row dell, and up very steep hill to
the Confederate works on the crest.
They gained the works in splendid or
der, but were unable to take them.
They held their ground, hoping for re-
Inducements. While in this position
tue Federal troops in the rear kept up
continual fire over the heads Of the
M who made the assault, bu were
firing too low, so that they were doing
more harm to their friends than to
their enemies. AT this juncture Colonel
Parry of the Forty-seventh, called for
some one to volunteer to carry a mes
sage to General Hugh Ewing, telling
him of the state of affairs, and asking
instructions. Two or three volun.
teered, but fell before the awful fire.
Upon the colonel repeating the call
Captain Brown, then orderly sergeant,
said he would try, and he successfully
carried the message that brought relief
to the men. The distance was about
200 yards, the greater part of which
was swept by the terrific fire of the en-
envy. 1t was literally running gaunt-
let of fire, through hail storm OF
leaden bullets.

lie Did Not Know the Ropes.


General Morgan of Illinois, who COM
handed brigade in Davis division,
was one of those men 80 slouchy in his
appearance that stranger would never
have picked him for an officer of high
rank. One day a raw recruit of his
brigade who had lost some books asked
a veteran where he might be likely to
find them. The veteran said the only
thief in the brigade was Jim Morgan,
who occupied tent near the blue flag
The recruit fastened to Morgan's tent,
showed his head in through the flaps,
and asked,
Does Jim Morgan live heie?'
My name is James Morgan" an
swered the general.
"Then l want you to hand over those
books you stole from mel"
al have none of your books, my dear
man"
THAT'S a lie," cried the soldier.
The boys say you are the only thief
in camp. Turn out them books, or I'll
grind your carcass into apple.sassl"
General Morgan appreciated the Joke,
and laughed heartily, but when the re-
cruit began pulling off his coat to make
good his threats, the officer informed
him of his relations to the brigade.

brigadierl' said the mai. "Excuse
me, general, but l don't thoroughly

improvement in the Army,

A wonderful advance in the condition
of the enlisted force of the army is
shown in report to the secretary of
war. Dissertations, which years ago
seriously threatened to deplete the
service far below the force re-
quired to conduct the most ordinary
field evolutions, are now things of the
past and each year indicates that the
soldier is better satisfied with his sur
roundings. Little trouble has been ex-
perienced during the past twelve
months in maintaining the full
strength of the army, and while there
were assertions, they were few when
compared to the large number of men
who some years ago annually became
weary of the monotonous life and left
the ranks without authority. General
Deiber's report will show that the
number of courts martial are decreas-
ing, the arrests are not 80 frequent and
minor infractions of the regulations not
so numerous. He attributes this i'm
proved condition of affairs to the eff
forts of the department to better the
surroundings of the men, and to assist
as far as ilitary discipline will permit
in making them contented with their
lot.

Preserving Government Secrets.

The United States has finally decided
that military and naval officers, at
taches of the legations here, shall not
be permitted to see every new thing
the genius and skill of our own officers
have evolved, which foreign nations
might want, unless the business can be
made reciprocal, and the American Of
icers at Paris, Berlini and London be
allowed to exploit similar secrets of the
engineer and ordinance bureaus of
these countries. An American naval
officer was not permitted to be present
at the late naval maneuvers of Ger
many fortnight ago, though he had
been personally invited by the COM
mander of one of the vessels taking
part to be his guest. 1t came to the
knowledge of Prince Henry, Emperor
Williams brother, the real head of the
German navy, that this invitation had
been issued. He at once directed the
officer to countermand it, giving, as a
reason, that certain naval experiments
and tests were to be made that no for
eigner must be permitted to witness,
and the Americans did not witness
them.

A few hints as to what not to give
TO young children may be helpful to
mothers, FOR children are creatures of
habit from earliest infancy, and if they
have formed habits Of caring for cake
and sweets and refusing other food
whose fault is it? How many mothers
give u child slice of bread not only
thickly buttered but covered with lay
n sugar or jam besides? Was not the
bread good enough with either alone?
Such mothers when demonstrated with
answer, "Why, my child would not eat
bread and jam unless it W buttered
also" That habit was formed in the
child by the mother Even young chill
dren are very shrowd in dealing with
their elders and will soon discover their
weak points. Perhaps when there are
callers the mother, to avoid scene,
gives a piece of cake, and this is adroit-
ly made use of to secure like favor at
subsequent time.
Young mothers, do not allow your
own ease and comfort at the moment to
cause your child to form pernicious
habit, be it the candy habit or the cake
habit Consistent firmness will spare
you world Of trouble and annoyance.
OF course piece of light spongecake
will not hurt a well child, but let it be
given as rare treat Never give any
kind of pastry. You and your child will
be happier for it. Neither are rich pud-
dings and pudding sauces allowable.
Tea and coffee should not be given
under the age of 21. Old vegetables or
hearty fruits, such as bananas, should
not be given to children under 6.
A helpful book for mothers is Chow
to Feed Children, " by Louise Hogan.
The following extracts may well be
copied in large letters and hung in the
kitchen or pantry wherever children s
food is prepared.
1.-THE amount of nutrition required
in every instance must be carefully con-
sidered. One of the most important rea-
sons for this is that energy must not be
wasted in getting rid Of superfuous ma
terial, as organic disease may result A
little food thoroughly digested is far
better than much that is half digested.
Many Of the diseases to which children
are liable would disappear under strict
supervision of hygiene and diet, espe-
cially the various intestinal disorders,
including many resultant throat, ca
tarrhal and nervous troubles. Nature
resents carelessness and is relentless in
her punishments. F"
"a legal enactment in France pro-
hibits the giving of any form of solid
food to infants under 1 year of age
without authority of prescription from
qualified medical man. The employ
ment of the rubber tube for nursing bot
ties is also forbidden, as it is almost i'm
possible to keep it clean.
Left overs are decidedly not to be
used in the nursery, if for no other rea-
son than in many houses cooked and
unoooked foods of various kinds are kept
In uncovered dishes from day to day In
one common refrigerator or closet, alb
sorbing unwholesome germs from sur
roundings that, to say the least, are not
sanitary. "-American Kitchen Maya

Hibernian Wit.

The Irish soldier seems to furnish the
oryteller with many an anecdote.
The following incident is said to have
occurred at the battle of Fontenov,
when the great SAKE was the marshal
in command.

officer of the guard, as he sent off an
Irish trooper with message; don't
