LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

Long Live the King!

The apologists for the German straddle
platform argue that he connot be can-
ddate for his successor i'll the U. 5.
Senate as the Eastern Shore is, by law
which has never been repealed but be-
lieved to be unconstitutional, entitled to
one of the Senators and that the Repub-
licans violated that law by electing Wei
linpton, and that the Democratic party
being scrupulously law abiding ~ in
political deals, cannot consider Mr.. Cor
man as a successor to himself. Mr..
Germans friends would not be slow to
put up the argument the Republican leg
islature violated the law by electing Wei
1ingtou, a Western Shore man, when
there was already Senator from the
Western Shore i'll the person of MIR. Cor
man, while there was vacancy to be
filled by the expiration of the Eastern
Shore Senator's term, that the ill-starred
Wellington illegally filling that seat,
should be ousted in compliance with that
law, and the place he illegally, las we'll as
so poorly fills,) supplied by Senator
from the Eastern Shore. Hence the v1o-
1ation of the law by a Republican legis-
1ature, by placing an illegitimate "Duke"
in the senatorial chair does not, and
shonld not, affect the succession of the
Westerd Shore line of Senators, and Mr..
German being the head of the line of the
Western Shore Senatorial dynasty was
the heir apparent to the throne for the
next six years reign. And the shout will
be heard next winter at Annapolis, if his
frieuds can muster majority-"The King
(Gorman) is dead, long live the King
(Gorman)."

A Paper

Presented at the monthly meeting of
Kennett Equal Suffrage Society by Mrs.
S. d. Holton and unanimously adopted
closed with list of questions which she
referred to the members, with the approx
al of the society, for answers at the
monthly meetings. The following are
some of the most important questions
which would make good subjects for the
lyceums and debating societies When
they open, for the long winter evenings
entertainments. They would be quite
instructive for the goldbug Climb of Rising
Sun-we learn it still keeps up its organ
ization-to tackle. We suggest the Pres
ident bring the matter to the notice of the
club.
Are we at present under the gold
standard?
Is silver primary money?
What is the difference between primary
money and token money!
Are our silver dollars redeemable in
gold; or if not, what sustains their value
in the present depressed condition of
silver?
Will gold dollar, silver dollar or a
silver certificate for one dollar buy the
most wheat in Chicago or New York
today?
What is sound money?
What is silver certificate, and what is
the value of the paper on which it is en-
graved, whether for one dollar or for
thirty dollars?
What makes the difference between the
coin value of a silver dollar and its COM
mercial value
Why is the gold coin hammered out of
shape still worth its coin value while the
silver dollar would not be?
What estimate does England or any
foreign country put upon our coins,
either of silver or gold
Why will U. S. greenback pass for its
face value when the paper is worth less
than the smallest silver coin
What makes any kind of money? Is
it intrinsic value?
What is fiat money?
Has a government the right 10 issue
money and regulate the value thereof?
And how does it sustain said value And
when does that value cease?
What has been and what is our unit of
value?
For how many years were we untroub-
led about this unit of value? When was
was the change proposed? By whom
By what means? And for what purpose
What constitutes bi-metallism
Is the Republican party and the Ad-
ministration in favor Of or opposed to BIZ
metalism
What is the marked difference in the
politics Of the Republican and Democratic
parties on the currency question?

camille establishments in both ofthe cities
named and the heads of these establish
meuts told us candidly that they were
trying to boom business by running ex-
cursions and other devices. but there was
nothing encouraging in the prospect for
a permanent revival. What they are after

A Farmers View of the "Good

Mr. John l. Carter, of Chatham, Ches-

of the good times ~ farmers are exper-

We publish below portion of Mr. Car
ter's letter. His denunciation of the daily
plutocratic papers of Philadelphia is
richly merited and a universal protest
should be sent up against their persistent
lying and misleading policy. Mr.. Garter
says:
Probably the average wheat product
of an average one hundred acre farm
would not be far from $50 bushels, and
taking off bread and seed, would leave
800 bushels to sell. Now, many of us
sold early, and others had damaged
wheat, so that suppose the average adj
vance in wheat sales would be about
thirty cents per bushel over last season
or net increase of ninety dollars, to be
placed to the credit of the prosperity
