tives, significant reception is to be
given General Weyler upon his arrival
at Madrid. The Weyler military fol-
lowing and the Conservative machine
are then expected to combine forces for
their campaign against Cuban conces-
sions. 1t is feared they may prove for
midable enough, in the event of stub
bornness on the part of Sagasta, to
bring about Spanish revolt that shall
overthrow the present Ministry and
even threaten the dynasty itself unless
their demands receive the desired con-
sideration.
More than ever, therefore, does it
seem incumbent upon the American
Congress to recognize the Cuban bellig-
erency and give the Cubans a fair
chance of freeing themselves from
these Spanish barnacles that have long
thriven upon the blood and treasure of
a prosecuted people. With that happy
result reached, there is but little ques-
ton that Uncle Sam would have the
worlds company in placidly allowing
the Spaniards to settle their ensuing
troubles among themselves, with an en-
tire acquiescence in the old dictum
of ''the devil take the hindmost."

Judge Jackson's latest decision in the
civil service cases brought before him
is far-reaching and practically final
The venerable, keen-ninded judge
sweeps away at one stroke the cobweb
Of technical obstruction behind which
the Republican leaders in this State
were endeavoring to evade the civil SER
vice law, which their party in the nation
had not the manhood to repeal
Their position well exemplifies the
pharisaical character of the Republican
organization and the seemingly Unborn
hypocrisy of Republican leaders. The
Democratic party has never made a &C.
cret of its enmity to the so-called civil
service reform law, and is on record as
emphatically opposed to it and in favor
Of its early repeal. 1t has been proven
impractical and a hindrance to the par
ty in power in carrying out its policies.
But our smooth and yirtuous Republic
can friends, when in convention assem-
bled they have made up their high
sounding and intensely moral plat
forms, have never failed to roll their
eyes heavenward in extollation of civil
service reform although no party has
ever done more undetermined work to
defeat the prime object of that statute.
The civil service laws nave never
been enforced except by Democratic
administration. President Cleveland did
honestly enforce this law and every
honest man will unquestionably admit
that so long as it is on our statute
books it should be enforced Under
succeeding Republican administrations,
on the other hand, it has been openly,
fagrantly and outrageously violated,
and never more SO than under the pres
emit administration, which with super
fine and consummate hypocrisy makes
such long-visaged, sanity pretentions 10
civil serviee reform virtues.
The Democratic party stands pledged
to repeal the law if it is given power,
but it has shown that it is honest
enough to obey the law so long as it is
the law. The Republican party, how
ever, that grand old party of high moral
ideas, solemnly pledges itself to uphold
the law and then violates it at every op-
portunity and without compunction.
Judge Jackson's decision brings
these precious hypocrites up with a
round turn. The law is there and it's
provisions are plain. If they don't like
it let them exhibit sufficient honesty
and manhood to repeal it.

NEEDLESS SUFFERING.



1t Can be Easily Avoided.
''The great American trouble is dyspep-
sia''
No one realizes this more than the mis-
cradle sufferers who drag out painful ex-
istences. The body requires help, strength
and assistance 1t calls for nutriment, but
meets no response, because the stomach Is
unable to digest, assimiate and turn into
blood food that is forced into il. What
then can the poor sufferer do? 1t is use
less to take more food because the broken
down stomach cannot take care of what 1t
already has.
There can be but one answer to this
question, and that is to assist3he stom-
ach to properly do the work ERf which
it was created. DO you ask NOV? The
answer is simple. There can be but one
way and that is to help the stomach help
itself. Not by drugs, not by mineral
washes, not even by massag ing, but by
constant and healthful Stimulation. In
this way alone can the over-worked stom-
ach be restored.
There is but one pure, healthful and
medicinal stimulant now known to the
public and the profession, and that is
Duffy's Pure Matt Whiskey. This whis-
with the meals and you can readily see
how by. gently stimulating the stomach
Wnen the food is taken, it enables the
stomach TO digest the food and thus pre-
vent dyspepsia and the troubles which
follow in its wake
1T will be well for every reader to re-
member that it is the only medicinal whis-
Key which can be depended upon to ac-
complish just what you most require.

RIVER NEWS.
Daily Chronicle of the Movements of the
Roats and foatmen.

Daily Chronicle of the Movements OF the
soats and 6oatmen.
The stage of the river last evening
was 2 feet II inches and rising. The
rains of the past two days were general
throughout the Ohio valley. The re-
ports from above were very encouraging
Yesterday as the river was rising at
most points with the weather generally
cloudy along the stream. 1t was stated
at the wharf headquarters that the ex-
tent of the rise from the recent rains
could not be given with any accuracy
as the swell at the various points above
might be swallowed up by the numerous
sand bars that are yet visible above the
surface of the streams, before reaching
here. The river is no doubt of sutfi-
cient volume at present for some of the
boats to resume navigation, but 1t is
not likely they will venture to cut loose
unless there is good assurance for con-
tinued traffic. Should it continue TO
rain for a while at the headwaters there
would be prospects of navigable stage
for the season, but from present indica-
tons the swell does not appear to have
much maintenance. Heavy rains up the
Monongahela river valley, ranging from
one-half to ITO inches were not suffi-
Gent to make any change in the river.
The rivermen say it will require four
inches of general rain to produce a rise
sufficient to send out coal from Pitts
burg. Unless the rains continue for a
while longer the present rise will not be
of any consequence to the resumption
of navigation.
The Pittsburg Times says: United
States District Attorney D. B. Heiner
entered a bill in equity yesterday in the
Circuit Court against the Pennsylvania
railroad, operating the PIttsburg, Vir-
ginia and Charleston railway, restrain
ing it from dumping cinder. Stag, etc.
into the Monongaihela river opposite
the National tube works, McKeesport.
j. L. McFeeters, deputy inspector at
McKeesport, alleges that the railroad
company was dumping the refuse into
the river by the carload. The case will
be heard Thursday.
1t is the opinion OF Capt. John F.
bravo that the Golfer dam at Merrill
will not be removed for couple of
months yet, and that the only hope for
Navigation at that point is to dredge
out new channel The work of dredg-
ing has keen commenced and y should
be pushRd forward as rapidly as posi-
bic.

A TARIFF FOR DEFICIT


The last of the first three months Of
the Dingley tariff law brings no better
tidings than the first month. 1t is the
same story. The title of the bill is ''An
act to raise revenue for the government
and protect the industries of the United
States"
1t has not yet fulfilled the promise of
the first part of its title, and there is
no likelihood that it will. The latter
part of the title, too, is quite as mislead-
ing as the first part. If its trainers had
been as honest as they were audacious
they would have used the qualifying
adjective certain" instead of the tech
nically definite but practically indefinite
article the" so as to make it read
land protect certain industries ETC.
For only those industries which contrib
uted heavily to the Mckinley slush fund
are protected by the law, and that at the
expense of every American consumer.
The apologists of the measure pleaded
time at the end of the first month of it's
operations as the only element neces-
sary to prove that it would be a revenue
producer. Well, three months ought to
be long enough to test pretty accurately
that feature Of the bills character. The
October deficit in customs receipts was
1892 653. For the corresponding
month last year the deficit was $780,
92S. In other words, the Dingley bill
fell S919,725 short of the Wilson bill
of a year ago during the month of Octo-
ber Government expenditures, how
ever, exceeded by $4,000 what they
were in the corresponding month a year
ago. Most of the increase, it is fair
to assume, was due to the Ohio CAM
paign. For month the Pension Bu-
reau, at the behest of Hanna and at the
direction Of the President, has had a
force of clerks stationed in Ohio for the
avowed purpose of expediting the work
of the bureau in that State. If the in
| crease due to this shameful misuse of
the Pension Bureau did not extend
through other months-if it were not
made binding obligation on the over
burdened government revenues as long
as there is life in those whose votes
were bought for Hanna with pensions
the American people, in their remark
able forbearance and generosity, might
overlook the offenses But the, increase
will have to be met next month and the
next and the next until death removes
the names Of the Hanna pensioners

Yesterday morning, Henry Kemp, who
has been held in the Belmont county
Jail at st. Clairsville since last Octo-
Der to await hearing before the Com
mon Pleas Court On the charge of high
way robbery, was taken to Beaver coun-
ty, Pa, where he will have to answer
to the charge of killing Charles E. Gar
yer, in a freight car, on the night of
September 9Th.
Ever since the murder of Carver,
which, by the way, was one of the
mcst coldlblooded affairs that has TAX
en- place in Beaver county for many
years, the detectives have been working
ON it, but in a very unsatisfactory man
ner, owing to the meagre clues they
have had to work on. Many suspects
have been arrested, but all were re-
leased, as nothing to implicate them
could be secured.
Shortly after the murder of Carver
Marshal Burns, of Martins Ferry, was
notified to keep close watch on parties
in that vicinity who were suspected of
being implicated in the crime, and to
the credit of the Marshal it may be
stated that it was through him that the
mystery has seemingly been cleared up
by the arrest of Kemp. From prison
ers that have been in the custody OF
the Marshal since the murder, and es-
pecially McMullen, of Bellaire, who
robbed Jacobs clothing store, greater
part of his information on the case was
secured. This information and talk
which he recently had with Kemp at
the Belmont county jail, gave him the
positive assurance that he had found
the Carver assassin.
Monday evening the head of the Per-
kins agency at Pittsburg, who were
working on the case in company with
several others, arrived in Bridgeport
and went out to st. Clairsville to iden-
tify Kemp. Mr. Biddle, a guard at the
Ohio "pen," Immediately recognized
Kemp. who had served a term in the
penitentiary for manslaughter. This
identification seems to have settled the
matter. for yesterday morning Kemp
was taken to Pittsburg. The detectives
who were working on the case seem to
have been confident of the fact that
,ricraf ma for thQv
brought with them requisition papers
for his removal to the State of Penn
sylvania.
Kemp, from his past record, is bad
man, as three murders are credited to
him. besides other minor criminal
acts. He has served a term
in the penitentiary for burglary,
and is supposed to have shot an en-
gineer on a lake steamer several years
ago, as we'll as having killed brake
man at Elyria, Ohio, a little over
year ago, while he was attempting to
put a pal of his off the train.
The rewards for Garver's murderer
amount to $1,000. and just now it is
hard to tell where it will go to. Mar
shall Burns, of Martins Ferry, seems to
have done about all the work in the
case, while the detectives came down,
arrested him and took him back to
Pennsylvania.
Kemp was brought to this city about
1920 yesterday morning by Detective
McKelvey. and locked I'D at the City
Hall until enc O'Clock, when he was
taken to Pittsburg on the 1875 Pan
Handle train.

wEy1.rR IN SPANISH politics

When Gen. Weyler returns to Spain it
will be interesting to watch the polit-
zeal developments. Late cable news
from Madrid conveys an intimation of
certain changes in the situation likely
to be brought about by Weyler and his
native supporters that may very ma
terially complicate matters.
According to. these advices, Weyler is
expected to lead a ''barnacle," or Con-
sentative, movement against the
granting of concessions to Cuba, and it
is feared that his influence may prove
sufficiently strong to have a marked
effect upon the policy of the Sagasta
Ministry The Conservative party rep
resents that Spanish element which has
profited most largely by the long con-
tinued robbing of Cuba. Many of its
most prominent members have held sim
ecures in the shape of hereditary pen
sions and annuities chargeable to the
Cuban revenues, we are told, and it is
