Liberty.

o. liberty, the sweetest boon
To erring mOrtals given,
To those who pine in dungeons drear
Thou art to them heaven.
They long to break their prison bars
To breathe the glad free air.
Why was their lot in life so sad
And others free from care?
Can we whom bonds have never chained
Know of the captive woes;
For we respect the laws of man,
They are, alas! its foes.
Will ever on this planet earth,
All prisons empty be?
Man with his brother man in love
Dwell ever peacefully?

When Admiral Stephen B. Luce was young
lieutenant on the old ship Constellation he was
known equally for his capabilities as an officer
and for his registering tendencies. His readiness
of wit was also marked quality, as is shown by
the following story that is favOrite in the ward
rooms of the navy to this day: The ship was at
Newport. and the lieutenant entered fully into
the social pleasures of that gay city. AS he went
aboard one evening. after an afternoon out, the
officer of the deck noticed that his step was not
as steady as it might be, and. in his sternest
tones, said "Mr. Luce, you're tight, sir"
Quick as flash came the answer: If stephen
B. Luce, how can he be tight, sire" The future
admiral heard no more of the matter.-Se.
To be kept thoroughly we'll posted on the news
of such an eventful year as 1886 promises to be,
person should read the columns of a live, wide
awake metropolitan paper besides the county or
local newspaper. Now is the proper time to be-
gin yearly subscription, which will cover the
Presidential campaign, the great speeches. the
November election and the outcome of all the
wars and troubles abroad If intending subscrib-
ers will heed a word Of advice they will send ST
to the Twice-a- Week Republic. They will re-
ceive in return twice every week for year a
copy of the spicest, newSiest and most enter

Week Republic will make a speciality of giving
all the political news and speeches on both sides
and at the same time keep up the very entertain

A big inducement is offered to those who be-
come SO interested that only a daily metropolis
tan paper will meet their wants. The Daily and
Sunday Republic has been reduced to only Sc a
year or So for six months.

Give Them a Chance.


Hon. Walter Mnir writes sensihly
TO the Oakes, n. u. Independent;
! For the present, at least, the batt'e
is over and the victory is with the
Republicans, Mark the manly tele-
gram sent by Mr.. Bryan congratu-
latIng Mr.. Mckinley upon his cleo
tion, and contrast his exalted 81 irit
of true Amercanism with those un-
American threats aud ill-timed an
nouncement in the Republican press
that they would not submit should
Mr.. Bryan be elected - then ask your
self on which side the spirit OF at
archy crops out, and to which the
Herr Mosts belong-on which side
the rule or ruin spirit is. Mr.. Bryan
and the great loyal ard true Ameii-
can party of which he IS the ackOwl-
lodged leader, take defeat, as become
loyal Americans who love their coun-
try and its grand institutions. While
we do not agree with the policy set
forth by the Republicans in their
national platform to bring about
permanent relief, we are willing to
give them hearty support in the APP
plication of any plan which they
think will bring about prosperity to
the discouraged rank and file Of our
debt ridden and distressed workers.
Let us be on hand to assist the
incoming administration to apply
their panacea for our grieyous finan-
clal ills and still maintain their mon
ometallic or gold standard system.
While we greatly doubt their ability
to bring about the prosperity which
they have promised so freely, we will
not put straw in their way, for it is
due to them that they have fair op-
portunity; then should they fail they
will be called in 1900 to stand out of
the way of the advancing hosts of
reformers augmented from the ranks
of those who voted to give them an
other chance to bring about their
promised prosperity.
No administration ever has had
more difficult task before it; none will
ever be watched more closely, more
held to strlcter account, not only by
those who do not agree with their
platform, but by very many who voted
with them believing in their fair
promises and especially in their prog
of dire calamities if
Mckinley was defeated.

Critical Time For Spain.

New YORK, Dec. IA dispatch
from Madrid to t theaWorld says:
Intense anxiety is felt by all classes
concerning what President Cleyel and
may say in his message about Cuba
ands ubsequent action by the Ameri-
can congress. In official circles this
anxiety. though suppressed, is even
keener than it is in unofficial quar-
ters. Most of the Spanish concerva-
tives perceive that many people in
Spain are inclined to believe that if
President CleYeIand's language is
sufficiently conciliatory to pave the
way for an understanding between
Spain and the United States for an
honorable settlement. implying no in-
fringement of Spanish sovereignty in
Cuba, such an impression probably
will be made on the public mind and
the court itself as may induce Queen
Christiana to change the present war
and repressiye policy in Cuba for q
more liberal one.
The government will allow no dem
Onstration when the news from the
United States arrives, and the au-
thoritieS are instructed to act ener-
getically.

large quantity of munitions of war.
About 45 houses were burned. The
commander has been severely repri-

half understands herself, feels that she
cannot always be complaining; she cam
not always have the doctor in the house.
The young girl suffers, bodily and men
tally, in silence. The trouble usually
comes so gradually it is attributed to
some outside cause. There is undue
WEAKNESS, unexpected pain, unreason-
able tears and fits of temper. All these
symptoms are simply protests of the
silent, long-suffering nerves. The trouble
shows in dark circles below the eyes, a
downward curve of the mouth, a sallow,
brownish-yellow neck.
Unregarded, the trouble grows. A
few years of tortured invalidism, probably
insanity, before merciful death comes.
