The Drug Store Rum Nuisance.

Good people differ as to the uses
and abuses of intoxicating liquors,
but there can be but one opinion as
to the man, who, under the cover OF
conducting a drug business. deals
out intOxicants to his customers in
defiance of law The up.and-down
saloon keeper is a gentleman com.
pared to the drug man who sells
liquor without a physicians author
ity, for he at least, when he is Ii.
censed, is authorized by law to con,
duct certain business and he does
il openly and above board.
1t is not our purpose to enter upon
the discussion of the temperance
question, but the effect of the illegal
sale of liquor by drug stores has be
come the greatest of all curses in the
small towns and villages throughout
the entire country.
Local option, as it is called, has
become a popular method of settling
the liquor question in very many
communities, and but for the drug
store nuisance it would seem TO be
pretty generally successful. Ifthese
insiduOus concerns were left out OIL
the calculations we should either
have rum sold openly and above
board, or practical temperance. The
saloons are banished by local option
but the drug stores and other speak
easies take their places and are ten.
fold more dangerous, because more
secret, than the open saloons.
From a business point of view il
is most unfair to the regularly IL
censed places to have drug stores
for competitors. Saloon keepers
pay big money for their privileges
and should be protected from such
unlawful drug store speakeasies.-

by democrats. on the contrary It Is going
to strengthen the republicans Here is the
opinion Of Judge c. w Meade, for some
years police judge in New York City,
how IS now visiting Washington: AT
first it looked as though the Raines law
would be so distasteful to the public that
the republican party would be made to suf-
fer for its enactment. But there has been
a great change of public sentiment; the peo-
pie are beginning to realize the many good
points Of the law, and am satisfied that
the republicans will reap the benefit from
1t instead of disaster 1t is about as good
statue as the ingenuity of man could con-
trive; it wipes out the dives where the
poorer classes loaf and squander their earn
iugs. it puts the business of selling liquor
on the best possible plane by putting it in
the hands of responsible men, and it does
away with the corruption and blackmail of
the old regime"
This administration makes a record for
Partially and prejudice in everything it
touches For the second time board Of
his brother officers have submitted report
to the war Department declaring Lieut.
Schofeld, a son of Gen. Schofeld, to be
unfit for promotion, on account of his being
very deaf, surely a good enough reason.
But for the second time. Secretary Lamont
has disapproved the finding of the Military
Examining board, and has now directed
that Lieut.. Schofeld be re-examined for pro-
motion within six months. The explana-
ton is that Cen Sehofield is one of Mr..
Cleveland's ohums.

Hall, of Mo, and Money, of Miss. got
into, in a House committee room the other
day, Indicates the present status OF the sill
yer and anti-silver democrats Money is a
silver democrat, and Hall was originally
elected as such, but he was converted by
Mr.. Cleveland at the extra session of the
fifty-third Congress which repealed the
purchasing clause of the so-called Sherman
silver law, and is now anti-silver. They
are all ready to fly at each others Threats
and nobody will be surprised if the Chicago
convention should end in a free fight in
which more dangerous weapons than ink
bottles will be used.

Europe Fears silver.

Professor Konrad, the noted econ
omist, speaking ON the currency
question at Halle said that nobody
can foretell how the situation will de
velOp in America, if the silver stan
dard is introduced there at the same
time as an increase in the protective
tariff.
Europe, he added, would be
flooded with American cereals with
out the chance ofexporting products
to America, and the only one pre-
ventive was, in his opinion, to es-
tablish pan-European tariff league,
This, Professor Konrad also said,
was only a question of time.-Phtt-
adelphia Press.
The truth will sometimes slip in
even the Philadelphia Press. Here
is an admission, that if on a silver
basis with a high protective tariff,
our cereals and other farm products
would food European markets and
the balance of trade thereby placed
very much in our favor. Silver and
Protection is what the American
people need to be prosperous.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. April q, 1896

WASHINGTON April ~ 1890
Senator Tillman's head is about ten
times as big. In his own mind, since he re-
turned from his Western trip He actually
believes that his chance for being nominal
ted for President by the Chicago Conven-
ton on a free silver platform is good one,
and he says there is no longer the slightest
doubt that the silver democrats will con-
troll that convention. He thinks that Yves
tern tour has made him so solid with the
democrats of that section that he is now
planning for a Southern speech.making
trip which will take in Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas.
When Tillman's aspirations for the demo
cratic Presidential nomination were first
talked about the Cleveland democrats re-
garded It as a good joke, but they don't
now. Just so were the Cleveland demo-
Gratis at first disposed to pooh pooh the idea
of the silver democrats controlling the Chi
cago convention To day most of them
admit the probability that a majority Of
the Chicago convention will be silver men,
but say they really upon the influences
which men like Senator Brice and exSecre-
tary Whitney can bring to bear upon them
after they get to the convention to prevent
the adoption of a radical silver platform or
the nomination Of a silver man.
The Senate is now working under an
understanding that nothing important
shall be taken up until all Of the ApprOpr-
alton bills are disposed of, and some think
that adjournment is probable on or about
May 10, the date suggested at a recent con.
ference of republican senators. but every
body recognizes that there can be nothing
certain about it until joint resolution
naming the day for adjournment has been
actually adopted by the Senate. The
House is alright and will promptly agree
to any date set by the Senate, and will
wait for the Senate to take the iniative
Numerous Congressman breathed easier
when the announcement was made that
the Venezuelan Boundary Commission
has decided to send to The Hague for the
purpose of having an expert examination
made Of the original Dutch documents In
the Royal Achlves, which bear upon the
Venezuelan Boundary question. 1t had
been rumored that the Commission had
practically finished its work and would
make its report to the President in a short
time, and It was feared that If the report |
was made before Congress adjourned; it
would result in an indefinite prolongation
Of the session. But il Is now known that
the Commission cannot complete its work
until those old Dutch documents have been
carefully gone over. and possibly others at

full luck the Empire State has had
since 1898, when its favorite (?) son
became President. Now the farm
ers don't have to bother hauling
their potatoes to market or to rail
roads. The extent of the markets
is contracted by the closed factories
and low wages, and this saves the
farmer much labor, besides having
to advance freight money. Think

necessary to allay suspicion or to attract the
simple. minded; but what has the manufac-
turer's private character to do with the eff
eacy of his so-called ''cuEe?" Ely's Cream
Balm depends solely upon its reputation Of
years as a successful cure for catarrh in all
its stages. Il is absolutely free from mer-
curry or any other drug injurious to the sYs-
ten. Being applied directly to the diseased
membrane It affords instantaneous relief and
will effect perfect cure of catarrh.

Union and Harmony.

The time has fully come when the
Republican party of this State must
have "uniOn and harmony" There
exists no cause of quarrel or OOnten-
ton in our ranks and that man is
an enemy to the party and to the
highest and best interests of our
State, who will promote or foster
any jealousies, heartburnings, or
other cause Of inharmony anywhere
in our borders. The time has come
when all rings should be put down,
and woe be to any man or set of
men who set themselves up as a ring
to rule and use the great, intelligent
Republican party for any base or
selfish purposes. That party is
composed of freemen, business men,
OF intelligent thinkers and does not
contain the material out of which
tools are made. If any man sets
himself up to run the Re
publican machine in this State, let
him be knocked down; and il any
ring sets up to do the same dirty
work let it be broken and buried.
The men of the party in every
county and hundred, are the power
and the only power to set up or set
down. and it is to them that we ap-
peal to take possession of the party
machinery and see that no dema-
gogues or ambitious political sspi-
rants usurp the control of it to serve
their own selfish purposes. Let the
free and independent voters in every
hundred attend the primary meet
ings and send such men to represent
them in all County and State con-
ventions as will act solely for the
general interest, and aid in keeping
che party free from the willy man
ipulations of ambitious men. There
is no good reason why we should
not have the utmost union and
harmony in our ranks. If any man
attempts to do otherwise let him be
put down and let us all pull to-
gether seeking the best and strong
est men in every locality to put upon
our tickets without regard to their
own wants and aspirations; and let
it always be a good and sufficient
reason for putting man dosCn,
that he is resorting to improper
means to put himself up. Let the
people select whom they think best
to serve them in any capacity, and
insist upon it that such as they Sc
Iect shall serve them, though it may
be al some personal sacrifice. 1t is
for the public good that officers
should be selected and not for per-
sonal convenience or personal adj
A public sentiment should
be created, that the man who desires
and maneuvres to get place, is not
.he proper man for that place; the
man selected by the people to serve
them in a certain capacity, for the
GOOD of the whole, has no moral right
