From Citizens OF Pennsylvania who have
been Cured by Chamberlain's Cough

Mr.. w. w. Spiilen. drug clerk, with J..
W. Mcconnell. Pdruassus, Pa says Il

contracted a severe cold. ! was so hoarse

of Chamberain's Cough Remedy, ! con-
cluded to try it. One-half of a bottle

A. Van Valzah. Hughesville, Pa. says:

ven so valuable that do not hesitate to

nent before some unscrupuouS President
uses it to destroy our Government.
tits hardly probable, however, that this
question will get before the u S. Supreme
Court for settlement in connection with the
Cameron resolution. for the livery simple
reason that the Cameron resolution is not
likely to be adopted by both branches of
Congress, Notwithstanding its having re
ceived the endorsement of the following
eminent gentlemen, who compose the Sen
ate Foreign Committee: Sherman.o of Ohio;
Frye, of Mo Lodge, of Mass Cameron,
of Pa Davis. of MINI Cullom, of ILL.,;
Gray, of DEL; Turpie, of Ind; Mills Of
Texas; and Morgan, Of Ala. Daniel, Of
Va, is also a member of the committee.
but he was not present at the meeting and
says he has not made up his mind whether
he will support the resolution or not. The
resolution will almost certainly be adopted
by the Senate, probably by more than two
thirds vote, if it be seriously pushed that
far, but if expressions of leaders Of the
House count for anything, it will never
reach a vote in that body. Gen. Hender-
son,of Iowa, voiced this sentiment when
he said; I'VE are not going to have war.
The Cameron resolution has not passed,
and / don't believe in encouraging this war
talk We have had enough agitation al
ready, and we don't want our business In
terests again interrupted by talk Of war OF
by actual war" 1t is the impression in
Washington that by the time Congress
reassembles, the country will have made il
so plain that it wants neither war nor a
war scare that the resolution will not be
pushed.
It was brought out by questions of Sen.
ators during Secretary Olney's unsuocess'
full attempt to persuade the Senate Com
mittee into following Mr.. Cleveland's pol
icy towards Cuba that the administration
has received much credit to which it was
not entitled, by reason of misstatements in
the newspapers as to demands it has from
time to time made on Spain in behalf Of
American citizens For instance, Secretary
Olney admitted that this Government had
made no demand upon Spain in the case Of
the alleged filbuster Competitor, and other;
OF a similar character, beyond mere re-
quests for information. This will doubt
less greatly shock the individuals who
only short time ago stopped over to th'
extent of writing communications to thu

THE Democrats have had such
Jolly good times over their Kent
county steal that they failed to count
the cost of their rascality. Even
honorable Democrats, who con-
demned the dirty work Of WOlcott-
Kenney-Hawkins and the Kent can
wasting board, have aided in the
scheme by their silence. But the day
of reckoning approaches, and stern
facts look unpleasant to the whole
party. Two weeks ago the general
hope was entertained by Democrats
that the Court of Errors and Appeals
would reverse the lower courts order
for the Kent canvassing beard to
meet and tabulate the returns; but
today there is almost general anxiety
for the higher court to sustain it.
That Republican Congressman and
q Republican United States Senator
from Delaware will be surely seated
If their nefarious plans are carried
out, has just dawned on them, and
to-day they are cursing the Higgins
Republicans for getting them into
the mux and leaving them with the
bag to hold.
The contest now on will show up
the rotten places on the Democratic
side, and the charges of corruption
which they have so industriously
made. will be turned back on them.
The Higgins people at a late hour
saw their blunder, but it is doubtful
If their bull-headed leaders would
even now permit blow being struck
for the Republican party could they
prevent it-but that day has passed,
and the Republican party Of Della
ware will triumph over Democrats
and the traitors who sold themselves
for the mess of pottage which is al
ready spilled.

AZ an earlv-date the pe

AT an early-date the people Of
beth beth North and South Milford will
be confronted with the question of,
how best to secure seating accommo-
dation for the children in the dis
tricts in their public schools. For
years past the South Milford schools
have been building additions to meet
the growing demand for room, and
this has been expensive. 1t is time
that some permanent arrangements
should be made, and the most FEAST
BILE plan appears to be for North and
South Milford to jointly purchase
the Classical Academy and convert
it into high school, to which the
most advanced scholars OF the public
schools should be sent, and from
there graduated with higher grade
than is now possible. This will re-
lieve the congestion of the schools,
give better opportunity for public
school education, draw pupils from
other points and be more economi-
cal. This is well worth thinking
over by the taxpayers of Milford and
would be a public blessing.

The Christmas Of congressman.

Congress adjourns now for the
holidays but the stay of proceedings
suddenly interposed by the Cleve-
land administration to delay action
on Cuba IS intended to operate after
the Christmas recess, and, if possible,
until the 4th of next March.
This was man;festly the purpose
Of the Hon. Richard Olney's chal-
lenge issued to Congress on Satur-
day. The Secretary and his chief
tian hope to divert Cuba's friends in
the Senate and in the House from
the main question Of recognizing
Cuba to tue subordinate question Of
original jurisdiction in the matter Of
recognition.
The more indignation they can
provoke in Congress, the deeper
thew can draw Congress into a Con-
stitutional controversy such as An
drew Jackson declared in 1885 to be
unlikely ever to occur between the
Executive and the Legislature, the
better the President and his Secre-
tary will be satisfied.

In the event of war with foreign power,
would Commander Ivan N. Walker, of the
GA r., consider himself too good to march
with rebel soldier TO the defense of the
common country p Chicago Daily Tribune.
This is about as smart as the Chicago
Tribune usually is. In the event of a
foreign war there would be no such a
thing as marching with a rebel sol
der" Everybody who marched would
be wearing loyal blue and keeping step
to the music of the Union. Even
during the rebellion there was not the
slightest objection to marching with
any man who had repented of his rebel
ism, put on the blue uniform, and was
doing his best to maintain the Govern
ment. We then shot at anything that
symbolized treason, and we now object
to joining in any public parade of what
we shot at then This is so clear that
even the Tribune should be able to
see it.
