Ex- Senator Ingalls,. of Kansas, would
like very much to have his old place
back, but does not seem very hopeful as
to the outlook for the Republican party
Speaking of the hard times to reporter
of the Washington Star he said since The
election he had travelled in all parts of
the country from San Francisco to Bos-
ton, from Montreal to Atlanta, and that
IL was the concurrent testimony thai
times had never been harder nor money
scarcer than now. Every branch of in
dustry," said he, ''languishes. Rent.
Incomes, interest and profits have dwin
died. Prices of land, farm products. and
general commodities have sunk lower
and lower, till in many localities the
most valuable improved farms in rich
regions are absolutely unstable. Ma.
turc has been benz fcent; harvests abund-
ant; the Mississippi valley is burdened
with cribbed corn; crop prospects were
never better; skilled and crude labor is
plenty; the equipment of machinery is
unrlvaled; we have MI the conditions for
good times, but they linger. Possibly
they are coming, but they are not here.
The people are patient. They are ra-
tional. They don't expect miracles, but
they are tired of adversely. They would
like to have idle men who are willing TO
work earning wages. 1t does not console
them to be told that there is surplus
money in banks to loan at small interest.
They don't want to borrow money, but
to sell corn. They will give the Republi
can party II fair chance, rs they gave the
Democrats four years ago. Should we
fail to secure public revenue and restore
prosperity they are likely to try some
other experiment
international bimetal!ism is n sonor-
Gus phrase, but when it is mentioned to
the average citizen he stops talking and
winks, or smiles, and asks about the
prize fight, or Cuba, or the Greek war,
or whether colore shirts ana tan shoes
are likely to be worn much this sum

When a man with the political acumen
of the Kansas ex-senator sees so little
to encourage him in the general condi-
ton, 1t is plain that the tide is going
against the Republican party. The lead
ers OF that party have made bright pre-
dictions; but they have not been fulfilled.

The Cuban patriots do not appear to be
gaining much ground from military
standpoint; but the sentiment in favor of

in the American heart there is desire to

MUNYON'S new and
humane methods of treatment have swept
away all the old FASHIONED ideas of doctoring
with poisonous drugs that create n dozen
diseases in the effort to get rid of one. He
will cure all complaints, but that he has pre-.
pared specific cure for nearly every disease.
Munyon does not claim that MUNYON'S Rheu-
matism Cure will cure consumption, dyspepsia
or any other complaint, but he does assert that
It will cure rheumatism. Munyon's Dyspepsia
Munyon's Cough Cure to cure coughs; Mum
yons Catarrh Remedies to cure catarrh; Mum
yons Kidney Cure to cure kidney troubles.
The same ray be said of all Munyo S different

Eagle Lake, Ind., May 2O-The com.
ing of the 10th General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church has been signalized
by the arrival of train after train Of com
missioners and their friends. The pow
ers of the committee on entertainment
have been taxed to the utmost.
The interest in thequest;on of the mod

has been discussed On all the incoming
trains. The general opinion seems to
favor DR.. Henry G. Minton, of Snu Fran
cisco, as representative of the far West.

he is professor in n theological semi

atorship gossip has been confined to the
lobby of the main hotel, but it has been
sadly interfered with by the uncertainty
OF the commissioners as to where they
and their wives and daughters were to
sleep.
The entire day was occupied with con-
1ereDces on foreign missions. Repre-
sentatives from distant lands were heard,
and the claims of the work have been
presented The meetings were under the
auspices of the chairman of the synoiical
and Presbyter committees and of rep.

AT the close CT the meeting resolutions
were adopted looking to the continuation
and permanent establishment of those

church boards. individual and organized
church contributions, and efforts to sup

the things recommended.
