PRESIDENT MCKINLEY made an
admirable address at Philadelphia a
few DAYS ago. Here are few of his
wise words: "Let me tell you, my
countrymen, that resuscitation will
not be promoted by recrimination
The distress of the present will not
be relieved by distrust Of the future.
A patriot makes better citizen than
a pessimist. And we have got to be
patient. Much as we want to move
out Of the old house, we cannot do it
until the new house is finished. A
tariff law half made is of no practical
use except to indicate that in little
while whole tariff law will be done,
and it is making progress. It is
reaching the end, and when the end
comes we will have business conf
dence and industrial activity. Let US
keep steady heads and steady hearts.
The country is not going backward,
but forward. American energy has
not been destroyed by the storms of
the past. 1t will yet triumph through
wise and benefcent legislation"

Democratic Civil Service.

The Union Veterans League, Of
Minneapolis, comes out in strong
protest against civil service reform as
put into operation by the last ad-
ministration. Representative Fletch-
er has received and will introduce
in the house at the next session the
following:
Resolved, that the Union Veter-
ans League, Of Minneapolis, Minn.,
records it's emphatic condemnation of
the gross partisanship and false pre-
lenses Of the late administration of
President Cleveland in it's manage
ment of the civil service of the gov
ernment, by which it unjustly, upon
the false excuse Of economy, turned
out of employment old and tried en-
ployes, many of them union veterans,
and then with great promptitude fill
ed their places with untried and in
competent office seekers and as soon
as filled, attempted to fore-stall de-
served removal by the promulgation
of convenient civil service rule.
I'VE believe in civil service which
will protect competent and deserving
employees. and not one whose design
it is to simply protect incompetent
partisan place hunters; civil service
which protects only those who enter
the service under civil service rules,
and not those who secure a partisan
rule to retain their positions OBJ
tanned simply as partisans. We are
unalterably opposed to the continu'
ance of civil service under it's present
form and conditions, and we demand
the modification Of the rules made
by the last administration, which
perpetrated so gross an injustice.
A copy of the resolutions will als(
be presented to the senate committee
now investigating civil service.

Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, w. Va, and
one of the most widely known men in
the state was cured Of rheumatism
after three years of suffering. He
says: II have not sufficient command
of language to convey any idea of
what 1 suffered, my physicians told
me that nothing could be done for
me and my friends were fully con-
vinced that nothing but death would
relieve me of my suffering. In June,
1894, Mr.. Evans, then salesman for
the Wheeling Drug Co., recommend
ed Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At
this time my foot and limb were swol-
len to more than double their normal
size and it seemed to me my leg would
burst, but soon after I began using
the Pain Balm the swelling began to
decrease, the pain to leave, and now
I consider that I am entirely cured.

For a Better Currency.

Secretary of the Treasury Gage is
preparing a financial measure, to be
submitted to congress next winter.
In pursuance of this plan he has sent
out letter to 200 leading bankers
and merchants, inviting suggestions
for placing the currency upon sound
basis. In outline, the scheme will
embrace the gradual retirement Of
the green backs and the substitution
of national bank notes therefor;
allowing national banks to issue to
the full limit, instead of 80 per cent.
as now; reducing the tax on national
bank circulation from ] per cent to
one-fourth of one per cent, and limit
ling the denominations of bank notes
and all other paper money to $40 and
upwards, and substituting silver fer
all below $40. There will probably be
a provision for branch banks, and
there is a suggestion that state and
municipal bonds may be used as a
basis for not to exceed so per cent of
the note circulation.
Secretary Gage has, in fact, already
commenced to carry out his scheme
for retiring greenbacks, as far as
possible under the present law, by
locking up in the treasury greenbacks
and treasury notes. These classes of
notes have greatly increased since
March 4, and on June l there was
held in the treasury of both classes
about $6O,O00,OOO.

patent infringement, and began suit
against number Of local merchants

question seems to be whether NUM-

economically operated.
