Within the past year, among the thou

dcrful curative powers Of Paine's celery
compound that have been received by
Wells, Richardson & Compauy-among
the thousands Of grateful letters received
from every State and town i'm the coun-

hearty Endorsements from members OF
the national House OF Representatives..
All were willing that their experience
should be published, believing rightly
that they might thus do good 20 oth-

SOME CURIOUS STATEMENTS.

The Washington Post. whose domicile is
in Washington city, under the very caves
Of the White House, as it were, makes
the deliberate statement that Mr.. Cleve-
land spent his last term of Office in daily
lear Of assassination, and with every pre-
caution taken at all times 10 protect his
life that the Sultan OF Turkey or the
Shah Of Persia could possibly invoke. 1t
saws that he required there services from
the Government secret service police, Of
which there is a considerable force in
Washington city. Here Is what the Post
has to say of the matter:
This task has been theirs for the last
four years during which MI. Cleveland may
be said to have been surrounded always
a Gordon Of hawkshaws. Even at Gray
Gables scntries took watch and watch
about the house. and no person was per-
mitted TO approach without giving a sat
isfactOry account of himself II a stranger.
In Washington for long time the last
President never went out driving without
the escort of a buggy drawn by fast
horse and occupied by two men armed
TO the teeth. Whenever he made the "trip
between Buzzard's Bay and the capital.
Government detectives accompanied him,
ana in New York the Metropolitan police
force was called on TO help take care OF
him.
Mr.. Thurbcr always claimed that his
chief knew nothing OF these precautions
taken in his behalf; but 1t seems beyond
question that Mr.. Cleveland feared assas-
sination.
The chief OF the secret service will
henceforth be able TO devote his attcn-
Rr,
try 10 swindle the Government. il IS Lot
the business Of this Treasury bureau TO
take care OF the President Of the United
States. and the money appropriated by
Congress for its support ought not 10 be
diverted to the payment o. detectives To
watch the White House ard 20 accom-
pany the Chief Executive on his travels.
In this matter Major Mckinley las ac-
complished a useful reform.
1t is almost incredible ;hat the Fest
would have made these startling state
mcnts unless it knew them TO lie facts,
and. II they are facts then. Mr.. Cleveland
must have spent one OF the mos. dicary
and distressing terms of ofiice during the
last four years that ever fell 20 the let
Of man. We know nothing moro terrible
than for a man TO walk about haunted
at al times by the belief that an assassin
II lying in wait for him behind every tlee
box TO take his life. 1t Is enough TO upset
the reason OF the strongest minded mar.
Mr.. Cleveland ought not TO have yielded
TO this fear. Some lunatic like Guiteau
might have made an attempt upon his
life but If any such had it in mind his
guards would have been OF no avail
When a mailman gets a mania of that
sort, he plots his attack so furtively that
guards are never able to thwart him
But he was in no danger from any bu,
madmen. No personal enemy or political
PARTISAN was going 70 attempt his Ale.

THE FUTURE or COTTON MANuFAC-
TIRE

The employees Of the cotton mills at
FAN River, Mass. are making a strong
movement for a reduction of the hours
of work in the mills. and this has caused
the mill ownoIs to make public the re-
suit of certain Investigations they have
made into the same branch Of business
IN the South.
A statement by the secretary Of the
Spinner's Union that the competition Of
Southern manufacturers would not be
increased by the adoption Of a shorter
working day at FAN River is met by a
declaration by one of the most promi-
nent manufacturers that in spite OF the
strong efforts made in New England 10
improve trade conditions by reduction
of stock the curtailed production has been
more than made up by the new mills and
increased production Of the South. 1t is
pointed out that in about three ana a
half years the mills Of Fan River have
been closed about six months on an aver
age.
For this sacrifice. It is said. no CORE
spending benefit has accrued, but South
ern competitors have run on full time
and filed up the vacuum which Northern
manufacturers have been trying TO
create.
Fall River owners state that it can be
proven beyond question that Southern
mills producing tho same fabrics. as
those made in this city are realizing
satisfactory profits at present market
prices. Their taxes are nominal; fuel IN
many cases is less than its cost in Mas
sachusetts; the hours or work range from
sxty-six TO seventy-two hours weekly,
and labor averages 40 per cent. less in
price than in Massachusetts. Truly
these are startling statements for
Massachusetts manufacturers % make.
but they arc borne out by the
facts. We have not the slightest
doubt that IN time almost all cotton
manufactures will be transferred 10 the
South.
