common thief. Under the guise of
Charming" and exquisite" manners,
he stole from those who admitted him
TO their houses. He ia now under in.
dictment for stealing $500 worth of valua-
bles from one victim, Mr.. Butler Smith,
and has admitted it. The gilded crook
has been travelling under the name of A.
Gordon Blair, but has made "confes-
sion," in which he claims that his real
name is Lawrence P. Graham, son of
Commander James d. Graham, U. s. N,
and nephew to Brigadier William M. Ora

uncle, retired general of the army, and a

soon appear that his alleged "real" name

that there has been decided change for

mains that times are better all over the

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been a
sufferer from a scrofu1ous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
Of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re.
nova1 of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, I be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your SIS. long ago,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

SLIGHTLY CONFUSING.

Concerning General Forsythes article
in the July Harpers dealing with Sheri-
dams ride, admittedly the best story on
this great episode, ever written, the Rich
mond (Va.,) Times, annotates it with the
following classical observation: "Sheri-
dan was very ordinary soldier, an ut
terly unlovable man, and his place in
military history will be of the most sub
ordinate character. Possibly, when COM
handing division or a new corps and
executing orders issued to him by others,
he may have been trustworthy officer.
OF this we do not know enough to Judge.
But all intelligent students of history
look upon his campaign in the valley
against General Early in the summer and
fall of 1864 as one of the most remarkable
instances of military incapacity that his
tory furnishes any record Of"
At this point the Times goes into sta.
tlstics and says: "The country chat lie
the Valley was broad open plain, and
Sheridan almost any morning could get
upon high hill and see with his field
glasses that Early had no force that could
be match for him a single hour"
The country was "a broad open plain"
and Sheridan could get upon high
hill"
Aside from tie grammatical errors in
volved, this is rather confusing as to the
topography of the land.

August Bolton and Gustave Echelsuit,
citizens Of the United States, upon whom
serious injuries we're inflicted in Cuba in
1895. Spain upon more than one occasion
has refused to consider the matter at all,
and now comes senate resolution author
izing the president to take such measures
as he may deem necessary to obtain an
indemnity from the Spanish government.
There are a pumber of cases of this
character against the Spanish government
at the present time, and they are almost
sure to lead to an ultimate rupture be-
tween the two governments unless Spain
shows an inclination to receive the re-
quests of the United States in the proper
spirit. Spain and all other nations must
understand that American statesmen are
now at the head of the government, and
that the lax and unpatriotic methods of
certain former administrations will not
be tolerated for moment. The sooner
they understand this the better for the
friendly relations of all parties concerned.

THE OHIO CONVENTION.

The Ohio Democratic state convention
was not as smooth as was expected.
There was present queer collection OF
cranks. Free silver seems to have fer
that attracts the unsound and disorderly,
the quantity foolish and the picturesque
ly stupid, as the open bung of a barrel of
New Orleans molasses assemblies yellow
jackets and blne.talled flies.
AS the keynote manager and boss of the
convention, Mclean, "The Cincinnati
Enqurer's" candidate for the United
Suites senate, as the successor of Mr..
Hanna, is a millionaire, and the man
nominated for governor is large owner
and operator of coal mines in several
counties, the declarations of the platform
are for the silver trust and the annihila-
ton of plutocracy. There is in this the
consistency with which we are accus-
toned in Democratic political literature
and engineering.
General Warner, who has been for ages
in Ohio for free silver, was the chief arch
itect of the platform.
Much has been said of McLean's power
ful wishes as to the platform, bnt with
General Warner at work on it, and Nc
Lean taking the precaution to stay away,
there was a certain unavoidable etfusion
and diffusion. The convention, however
declared the money question param cunt,
and reaffirmed expressly the financial
planks of the Chicago platform. Of
course, they are aeavy on trusts and high
on Cuba, and expressly for the belliger
ENJOY resolution of the senate, which will
not carve ice at this time.
All the names of Democrats known to
anybody out of the state are found in the
proceedings of the convention only in the
list of defeated candidates.
The ticket is composed of fresh ma
terial. The old war horses were turned
out in pasture where there IL no grass.
The old horses might as we'll die.

THE tariff bill passed the senate yes
terday afternoon at O'Clock by vote of
80 to 28. Everything taken into con-
sideration it must be admitted that the
work has been we'll done and speedily
done. It must be remembered that the
labor involved in the bill that has Just
passed, was something enormous. Near
ly every moment of the time of the senate
since the new tariff bill went to that body
has been devoted to faithful labor in the
interest of increased revenues for the
government, and better times for the
people generally. Other questions have
cropped up from time to time, only to be
RELOCATED to the back ground of future
day, the senators as lule realizing the
fact that the great issue before them was
tariff reform, and that it demanded the
larger share of their attention. The work
has been well and consistently done.

AMERICANS AT THE HELM,

1t is evident enough to those who keep
in touch with the policy of the present
administration, that there is very de-
cided inclination manifest to protect the
rights of American citizens abroad. This
is a matter that has too long been neglect
ed at Washington, until every little one
horse power on earth has deemed 1t safe
to heap insults and injustice upon our
citizens wherever they may be found.
The ordering of two American warships,
the San Francisco and the Raleigh, to
Morocco for the purpose of enforcing the
demands of our representative in that
country, is case in point.
Some time since an American citizen in
Morocco was brutally assaulted by SUBJ
jects Of the emperor, and although the
attention of that ruler has been repeatedly
called to the case he has steadfastly re-
fused to take any notice of it. Consul
General David Burke asked the Moorish
government for the arrest and punish
ment of the assailants of the American,
and when Indications pointed to the fact
that his requests we're to be entirely ig-
nored. he promptly notified the state de-
partment at Washington, with the result
as above stated. The presence of the
flagship of the European squadron, ac-
companied by the Raleigh, will in all
probability bring the sleepy Oriental to
his senses. At any rate it is good to see
little of the true American spirit dis
played in dealing with governments that
have too long abused Americans with
impunity. It is time to call halt, and
the powers at the nations capital seem to
realize this fact at last. We are having
good many evidences in this direction
Of late. On the same day that the San
francisco was ordered to Morocco, SEN
ator Lodge of Massachusetts,, read in the
senate report from the foreie n relations
committee dealing with the cases of
