Blood Poison.

Contagious Blood Poison has been ap- propriately called the curse of mankind. It is the one disease that physicians can not cure; their mercuria1 aud potash remedies only bottle up the poison in the system, to surely break forth in a more viru1ent form, resulting in total wreck of the system.

A GAY CHRISTMAS IN THE VILLAGE.

A GAY CHRISTMAS IN THE VILLAGE.
 Christmas passed over this village peacefully but with certain degree more of life and merIiment than usual, caused by the fine sleighing and coasting and also by small influx of visitors from New York and Brooklyn to this place and vicinity. Misses Ida and Gertrude and Master Robert M. Burr from Brooklyn were a nd are at present writing aG E. H. Beardsley's. Messrs Ward and Chatain of Columbia college are at Mrs A. E.. Corning's, while the Bryant Brothers, with Charles Nicholson of Brooklyn, are stopping in Marbledale over the holidays. All these with their young friends have made the air ring with merry laugh and jest as they coasted down the hills or rode to the music of the bells over the highways. Winter, .as summer, brings it's joy and cheer, and we are glad to well come all, who having passed the summer here, returns to see the country and their summer homes clothed in winters garb. It also breaks the quiet and monot0ny of this otherwise dull village at this season of the year.

HEAVY LOSS TO THE GOVERNMENT 7
Senator White on the Proposed Union
Pacific foreclosure Sale and
Reorganization.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 30.-On the
su biect Of the foreclosure sale of the Union
Pacific and its reorganization plan SEN
ator Stephen NJ White to-day expressed
some positive sentiments. When asked
his opinion with reference to carrying
into execution the plan which originated
during President Cleveland's administra-
ton the Senator said:
1T should be remembered that while
this plan was suggested by the last ad-
minisiration, nevertheless the plan thus
outlined is not binding, and can be aban-
doned by the Government at any moment,
and hence the responsibility Is now di-
rectly and exclusively upon Mr.. McKin-
ley and his advisers. Ny Judgment is an
tagonistic to the scheme. The PROPOSE
tion involves, in my judgment, not only
the loss of $25, 000,0 000 to the United States,
but the practical donation of that sum to
the syndicate headed bv Mr.. Fitzgerald of
New York and his associates. 1t is pro-
posed that the reorganizers shall pay a
sum sufficient to discharge the prior liens,
and shall pay the Government within
$25. 600, 600 of the sum due. My opposition
is based upon my belief that the Union
Pacific can paY every dollar of the indie bt-
edness, and that the Government should
receive every cent coming TO 1t.
at Is we'll understood that the property,
in the event of the purchase going
through, will be capitalized at $100 000, coo,
realizing an enormous fortune as net and
i'm n ediate profit 10 the promoters.
know that the railroad people are con-
stantly asserting that the syndicate has
offered more than the road is worth. This
is nonsense. The men who are engaged
in the enterprise are among the ablest
financiers and railroad managers in the
world. They know what they are doing.
They are not in the habit of making pres
ents to any individual, much less the Gov
eminent. They are making q splendid
bargain fer themselves.
1t seems that Attorney-General Nc
kenna insists upon raise of S. 900, 000
This viii reduce the Governments loss TO
$50 600, 600 and will to that extent be bene-
fetal. But l cannot see the propriety of
sacrificing the larger sum.
'In the last days of the last Congress
every person supposed to be friendly to
railroad interests was diligently at work
to prevent the consideration of the Harris
resolution. The most extraordinary eff
forts were made to avoid vote in the
Senate. 1t was known that majority of
that body favored the resolution, but rail-
road efforts defeated an expression Of
opinion. People connected with the rail-
road who were supposed to have influence
with those prominent in opposition to
this deal were called to use their influ-
ence. l am afraid the com bination will
succeed, and if so responsibility will be
directly upon the shoulders OF the prese mt
national admins tration."
