THE gold Democrats and the silver
Democrats are throwing stones at
each other again. Mr.. Bryan has
come to the front with sarcastic re
ply to Mr.. CieYeland's Reform Club
speech, in which ne says that Cleve-
land and his wing of the Democracy
are long on platitudos and short on
performances" and that they reach
their ''maXimum at a banquet and
their minimum at the polls" Every
day increases the improbability of
the two wings of the Democracy ever
Tapping together again.

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.
From the FaIrhaven On. " Register.

Mr. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been d sufferer from rheuma-
tism. \ few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain
Pain Balm and instead of going for
the physician he went to the store
and secured bottle of it. His wife
did not approve of Mr.. Rowland's pur-
chase at first, but nevertheless APP
piled the Balm thoroughly and in an
hours time was able to go to sleep.
She now applies it when ever she
feels an ache or pain and finds that
it always gives relief. He said that
no medicine which she used ever did
her as much good. The 25 and so

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, in his
latest uttcrances before the Reform
Club Of New York City last Saturday
night, managed to still further reduce
his following. He attacked not only
the Republican party, but that large
and growing class OF Democrats who
believe in protection, another large
class of Democrats who voted for Mr.
Bryan, and another class Of voters
who support the measures OF the Pop
ulist party. If Mr.. Cleveland keeps
on attacking those who believe in
some of the things which he believes,
he viii soon find himself standing alb
solutcly alone.

Some Rambling Thoughts.

The ground beneath our feet is al
ready restless with the thrusting vigor
of seeds, whose mysterious and resist
less power is compelling the soil to
give up its dead to live again. Our
every fOOtstep is logged with the tire
less tasks Of earthworms and insects,
tunneling in all directions that the
soil cOmpacted by the winters storms
may be in reach of the life-impelling
influences of air and warmth. Invisi-
bic energies are crying aloud to the
hillsidcs and to the valleys, to the
creatures that hibernate and to the
birds that migrate, to insects and to
grubs Let there be life" and there
is life, so pervasive that though we
fly TO the uttermost desert, it is there;
though we bury ourselves in the deep
est mine, it is there.

The glory of green flung suddenly
over somber fields and naked trees, the
futter Of busy birds twittering and
whistling of love and defiance, the
subtle odors OF flowers and of grasses
all unite to thrill the senses, until
the healthy heart is filed with the
same universal joy Of living. The
blind can feel the change, and deaf
can see il; every living thing answers
the summons The heart of The

of listening to the birds and of gather

This is not the place for a discussion

driven from our sphere. That is

certain time life will cease to energise

low. Outside influences, good or bad
and the surrender of the individual to
their power also help to make or mar
the prospects of that race of trees or
creatures. There is no imagination
in this; but sober truth.
Now our race also has its perpetual
Spring, in the beauty and charm of
child-life; where bright smiles and
joyous laughter, over-fowing energy
and eager hopefulness proclaim the
same truth as the glorified landscape
that now solaces the eye. Life is not
in children save by reason of those
who have gone before. Existence is
therefore, no mere toy to be played
with and thrown away, but trust

gain all the bliss and joys of life; but
from the principal of which we must
take nothing by reason of wrong-liv-

pears to love living things and to hate
death; if it were not so, why the tricks
and devices for enabling things that
live, though they themselves perish,
yet still to retain place on the earth
through their defendants? The arch
enemy of all created things may tri-
umph over the individual of any class,
but he is not triumphant all along the
line, else were this globe long ago u
lifeless desert. Victory is wrested
from death by the various species
passing on their life into new beings
of the same species, or, in other words
by reproduction. SO while the dying
perish, the feud with death is still
maintained by the living who step
into the breach; they in their turn
passing on to others the precious heri-
tage of life to be guarded at all haz-
ards and entrusted in undiminished
force and beauty to those that follow
still later. The greatest joy of Spring
is, therefore, that it is a living pie
ture of conquest;a shOrt-lived triumph
indeed but yet sweet while it lasts
for there is prepared from its results
the next generation of plants and in
sects and animals, so that the world
may not be ifeless. Spring, now is
thy glory! Grave, where is thy vic
tory?

Viewed in one way, the gloom and
depression of death is over everything
mundane. 1t is sad enough picture
yet needful to remember in order to
gain the full lesson from the new life
now swarming in earth and air and
sky. 1t is unsafe to assert that there
are things the Almighty cannot do.
One thing, however, is certainy He
has never yet made a living creature
with material body that lasts for
ever. As soon as the elements of liv-
ing things are gathered together the
conflict between life and death begins
with ultimate victory completely as
sured for the latter. Everything that
lives in the battle-ground for forces
that are doing their best to send it
back dissolved into its original ele-
ments. And they succeed!

ANNOUNCEMENT OF REDUCTION ON
EASTBOUND PASSENGER RATES
CAUSES A TURMOIL.
CHlCAGO-ST. PAUL LINES STOP,
VERY WE'LL MEET THE
CUT WITHOUT TRUNK LINES
CONSENT.
CLEARING BROK ERs' OFFICES
Tickets in Chicago in the
Hands OF ScaIpers Are All
Taken Up.

The unprecedented reductions made
by the 500 line IN east-bound rates
yesterday, as mentioned in the G o b G.
threw the Chicago lines into a tur-
moil yesterday, for the reason the
Chicago lines know very we'll they
can do nothing to head the 500 off.
Any attempt in this direction would
only ~aggravate the 500 still more and
render the possibility Of getting the
500 into an association still further
removed. The cuts made are phe-
nomenally low. The new rate sheets
appeared yesterday. On the top line.
General Passenger Agent Galloway put
the following legend in big black type
for the e~diication Of the interstate
commerce commission:
This tariff is issued to head off the Chi
cago-St. Paul lines who have stocked the
brokers' offices with East-bound tickets, hay
ing no transit limits"
That tells the whole story. The fact
that the Milwaukee las agreed to clear
the rOkers' offices of tickets did not
satisfy the 500. Therefore the rates
which appeared yesterday morning
bore no limit OF sale. They will be
sold a long as the 500 has reason
l " pSllSNG lileIG Is d SllSle llChSJ IGlC
in the offices Of the Chicago scalpers.
The action of the 500 will surely has
ten this clearing up. The Chicago lines
can do nothing toward meeting the
rates. The Eastern lines will not agree
to a proportional rate on the basis Of
the o rates, and therefore the Chi
cago lines will have to do business
for nothing if they decide to join in
the fight. The 500 rates are based
upon h lowest differential rate from
Chicago to the points interested. For
instance, the differential rate from Chi
cago to New York is SIS, therefore the
500 applies the same rate from St.
Paul to New York, in order to spoil he
effectiveness of the tickets in the Of
fees OF Chicago scalpers.
There are some surprising figures Of
fered by the 500. For. instance, they
quote a rate Of $12 from st. Paul to
Toronto, while the rate from ST. Paul
to Chicago is but fifty cents less. The
rate from st. Paul to Buffalo is also
but So.
The 500 has the. other roads in some
thing Of a box. By the terms of the
interstate commerce law, the 500 will
have to give a ten days notice before
the rates can be taken out, and dur-
ing this interval they can secure "a.
whole lot of business. Then again, the
other mes will have to give three
days notice to the commission before
they cal put the same rates into eff
feet, thus giving the 500 three days
monopoly.
A number of traffic and passenger
officials We're in Chicago yesterday at
tending a meeting called for the pur--
pose of. mending, if possible. Meet
ings are being held nearly every day,
bat no results have been secured as
yet.

FOUR BOXES DID 1T.
Remarkable Success of q New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for years
or months from the pain and neon
venience of that common disorder,
piles, will loOk with skepticism upon
the claims Of the makers of the new
discovery for cure of all forms Of piles,
known under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the e~xtraordin-
airy cures performed by this remedy
are. such as to warrant the investiga-,
ton Of any sufferer. AS a case in
point the following letter speaks for
itself: .
Mr.. Henry Thomas, of ~sub-station
No. 3, Hosack avenue, Columbus, Ohio,
writes as follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gertlemen-I want you to use my
name if it will be of any use to you.
I was so bad with the piles that I
lest work on hat account. Nothing
did me any good. [ read in Cincinnati
of the many cures of piles by the
Pyramid Pile Cure and [ went to a
drug store and asked for it. The drug
clerk told me he had something else
that he thought was better, but I told
him I wanted to try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that
I tried another, and then to complete
the cure, used two more boxes, max
ing -four in all. I am now Completely
cured. Have. not a trace Of piles and
i IldG bALCI " rO0A JCoAo with I1lS
worst form of protruding piles.
I suffered Heath from piles, but 1
have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to
be just as represented. I have recon-
mended it to several of my friends
and / am thankful to be able to write
you what good the remedy has done
for me-"
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no opium.
cocaine, or mineral poison Of n kind
and because it is sc safe and pleasant
to use, being painless and applied at
night. The patient is cured in a sur
prisingly short time with no incon-
venience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure IS sold by
druggists at 80 cents per package. and
If there is any constipation it is well
to use the Pyramid Pills at the same
time with the Pile Cure, as constipa-
ton is very often the cause of piles
and the pills effectually remove the
costive condition. Price Of pills is %
cents per package.

and cure of piles; sent by mail free.
