New York Tribune.
Leader Of the Republican Party
1896.
Are YOuWillins to Listen to a Suggestion?

The New York Tribune's broad columns
and large print make 1t the easiest paper In
the country to read, either on the cars or at
home.
Henry Romsike, proprietor Of the largest
Newspaper Clipping Agency in the world,
testi6es in published card, that his clip
pings for over 1000 clients show that the
Tribune contains ''day by day and week by
week, far more original matter than any
daily newspaper in New York CITY," He
proves the fact by figures. The weekly
ranks the same.
Business men find the market reports of
the Tribune absolutely without an equal.
The Tribune is the only newspaper in New
York city whose reporters actually visit all
the different markets in person.
The Tribune now prints the best and
freshest humorous pictures of the day from
the comic press of two continents, and sup
plies plenty of other entertainment.
BY its special kilograms and correspond
ence, its able editorials and high literary
character, the Tribune maintains splendid
position in the regard of republicans and
lovers of music art, and good books.
The Tribune's society news is known ev-
erywhere for excellence. Its Fashions have
always been of special value, and changes
of style are, as a rule, foretold in the Trib-
une sooner than in other newspapers.
The New York Tribune is recognized, Of
ficialIy, as the leading newspaper of the re-
publican party.
AS for Farming and Labor, the Tribune
has for so years demanded, and yet de-
mauds, that every possible dollars worth of
food and commodities, consumed by the
American people, shall be produced by the
American people, For this cause the Trib
une labors in its various editions 365 days
in every year.
man is judged by the newspaper he
takes. He who reads the Tribune is wide
awake, progressive, respectable and capa-
BILE, worthy of the confidence of business
and social friends. II you are young man,
you will live in rut all your life Except by
your mind upon newspapers, full of scan
dial, vulgarity and inanity. Think for a
moment of the people who read newspapers
of that class. On the other hand, the Trib-
une has probably the largest clientele of the
very people who can help to improve a
young mans position, OF any newspaper in
the United States. Associate yourself with

The Silversmith of Arkansas.

January in the central west is usually q
cold, clustering winter month, and people
who are sensitive to Catarrhal troubles feel
the weather keenly and the sufferings Of
some are intense. 1t is pleasant to assure
our friends who have nasal Catarrh in any
of its many forms that a simple remedy will
instantly relieve and completely cure them.
1t costs but SOC. and is known as Pretzin-
gers Catarrh Balm. You cannot make any
mistake i'm using it. 1t is not secret reme-
dy. The formula is we'll known. j. III.
Powell, the well known Silversmith, of
Sulphur Rock, Arkansas, for seven years
was q victim of catarrh of the head and
throat in the severest form, yet one jar of
Pretzipger cured him and he had previously
used every other remedy, several guaran-
teed, although all proved worthless. He is
so enthusiastic that he will guarantee cure
to any one and he offers to return the 5Oc.,
if the Balm does not do all 1t claims. A
small sample of this remedy can be obtained
by sending &c. stamp to Pretzinger Bros,
Chemists, Dayton, Ohio.

A Library Of Itself.

The quaint way of looking at things,
which appears in Roswell G. Horr's writ
ings in the New York Tribune, gives to his
discussions of business questions an inter
est and vivacity which many other such es-
says lack Mr.. Horr aims his gun mainly
at Free Tade and Free Silver notions, and
always blazes away with both barrels; but
he deals with work, wages, governmental
and many other topics, and his articles
make the Tribune in the course of the year
fully equal to a whole reference library on
economies. The Weekly Tribune certainly
enjoys at this time very large circulation,
showing how strong hold it has on the af-
fections of the American people. To be
able to send ones paper every week into the
homes of 100000 or more Americans, who
want it and pay for it, is great privilege.
Fortunate, indeed, it Is for our country, that
the Tribune is so clean. decent, and superb
a newspaper No doubt its large eircula-
ton has had something to do with the
awakening Of republican sentiment these
last two years Everyone should keep his
eye on the Tribune, and the only way to do
this is to buy IT, The Tribune Almanac for
1896 is promised as usual, in January, and
is claimed to be the most accurate and best
of all these Almanacs. 1t did not reprint
part of the previous years Almanacs in
1895, as did one of its rivals, to get out ''on
time"

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

For The Light.
If there has been any crookedness
on the part of our municipal officers,
as General Grant said, Let no guilty
man escape"
But, somehow, the indictments
found by the Bexar county grand ju-
ries in the past have not passed muster
with the petit juries and the courts,
and, as result, grand juries have
fallen into disrepute with the public.
1t is true, grand juries hear but one
side of the testimony, in their inquisi-
ton into cases, but still they should
carefully consider whether if that ex-
parte evidence should be uncontradict-
ed at the trial it will suffice to convict
parties.
In criminal trials no mere preponder-
ance of evidence will justify convic-
ton, but the evidence must be such as
TO leave no room unreasonable doubt
of guilt. Right here is where grand
1uries fall into error.
TO indict persons without just
grounds, that is, on insufficient evil
dence, deserves to be ranked as a
crime. however honestly it may be
able attack on the good name of citi-
Zens.
Indictments ON insufficient evidence
run a county to a great deal of ex-
pense and create bitter animosities.
But an acquittal does not always
prove the grand jury acted hastily
since petty juries often acquit in de-
fiance of the amplest evidence.
Convictions for theft are easily OBJ
tanned, but for other offenses there is
no such certainty. The evidence
should always control the verdict of
the juries, but, practically, it does not
do so.
The Scotch allow juries to render a
middle verdict, that of mot proven"
which implies that the jury can not
conscientiously acquit; yet a verdict
is mot proven" 1t operates as dis
charge of a party and as bar to an
other prosecution.
The introduction of such verdict
in Texas might tend to save juries a
good deal of wear and tear of con-
science, of which no man possesses an
over abundant supply. 1t would also
prevent the farce of nistrials, which
is getting to be too popular for the
good of society.
1t really seems increditable that
Mayor Elmendorf could be guilty OF
accepting bride, or that City Engin.
eer Pancoast could wilfully commit
the odious crime of perjury, but the
best plan is to leave the evidence to be
brought out at the trial to determine
that matter. Till their guilt be estab
lished beyond reasonable doubt the
law, as well as justice, requires they
shall be presumed to be innocent.

Among Other Things She Ate Her Own
er's Best Umbrella.
An English publication tells story
of cows remarkable appetite. The
animal, a large Holstein, broke into the
yard and ate pair of trousers, a vest,
a cardigan jacket, two silk handker-
chiefs and pair of lady's walking
boots. She was engaged upon the leg
of boot when interrupted. A slight
attack of indigestion followed, but the
village "vet." gave her some soothing
drops in bran mash and she recov-
cred.
A day or two afterward the COW was
again found upon the poach. Nobody
seemed sure what she had eaten this
time, but as she was taken i'll the vet"
was again summoned, and this time was
obliged TO perform an operation. He
extracted from the COW a rib, not one
of her own, but one of the ribs of her
owners best umbrella. The rib was
25 inches long, besides the hinged part,
which gives us some idea of the cows
power of digestion, for the remaining
ribs, as well as the stick, handle and
cover, seemingly gave her no incon.
venience at all.

send is always good. No ill.,
fortune has befallen any OF them,
and they are succeeding in all they
attempt. A dispatch in Turkish

Hubbell at Arabakir, states that
the fevers are disappearing day
by day, which means that he has
succeeded in bringing to a success
full close a field of contagious fevers
that gave one hundred cases a day
for treatment.
DIR. Hubbell and his medical as.
sistants have been called upon to
treat the families of most of the
officials since leaving Alexandret-
ia. Their presence has been a great
comfort to the missionaries sta
toned at the various points most

massacre. Their cooperation and
assistance has been mutual.

blessings on every side.

favor which has been asked of it,
both kindly and promptly. With
the exception of poor Mrs. Mason,
who died recently, the health Of
