THE SURPRISE IN NEVADA.
Ominous Outlook for Free SILVER In
the Very Home OF
silver.

TIL unkindest cut of all to the cause of
free silver, to the amazement of every
man, woman and school child in the
United States, has come from little Ne
yada in this strange election. The early
returns indicated that the republicans
had carried Nevada by q small ma ajority,
but no one, even among the most OPP
timistic and confident sound money adj
Tocates, discerned any special signiti-
tance in that result. Nevada, to be
sure, was among the states whose in
coming legislatures would have TO elect
federal senator's, but on the financial
question, it was taken for granted,
there was little to choose between Ne
yada republican senator and n Nevada
democrat
But it now appears that the country
has been unjust to Nevada. It's voters
are not impervious to reason and fact.
The world moves for them. and the
signs of the times do not altogether
escape them. They have duly pordered
the interminable Stewart speeches on
the "crime of 1876" but they have
studied the treasury figures of gold
production and the market quotations
of silver. While Stewart has only been
repeating himself, the market has
added fresh anti-silver argument
every day. In the end the market was
bound to defeat Stewart.
An anti-Stcwart Legislature is be-
lieved to have been chosen, and the
long-winded silver orator who has imi-
tatcd Cato of old and tackled on plea
and a warning in behalf of silver to any
speech on any subject he has ever had
to treat in the senate may be relegated
to privacy and to other forums than the
Lational senate. Et tn, Nevada! the
silverites will cry in dismay, while the
sound money men will resolve to give
up nothing as irrevocably lost and to
carry the war for sanity and honesty
even to those few states with which sill
YER has been supposed to be purely
industrial issue, matter of bread and
butter which blinded the local citizens
tc every fact or maxim.
Stewards only hope is in the failure
Of his opponents to agree upon candi-
date. a deadlock would give two
"ears lease of political life, though it
would not deprive his defeat of it's sting
and bitterness and striking moral

KELLEY is DEAD.
The inventor of the Famous Motor
Passes Away In Philadelphia
Ills Career.

Philadelphia, Nov. 19.-John w. Kee-
ley, the inventor of the Keeley motor,
died Friday at his home in this city from
pneumonia. He was taken i'll on Sat-
urday last and continued to grow
steadily worse until his death. Mr..
Kelley was G1 years of age and leaves a
widow.
Mr.. Kelley was n native of Phllade,-
phia. His education was meager and at
an early age he became a carpenter. fol-
lowing that trade until 1872. 1t was In
that year that he announced his discovery
of new force by which motive power
would be revolutioniZed. Following this he
constructed what has become known as the
Kelley motor On November 10, 1874. he
gave its first public exhibition before a
number of capitalists and scientists who
advanced 100000 to enable him TO perfect
his discovery and apply the principle.

MEANING OF THE VICTORY.
Features of the Results Tint Are
Gratifying to the Whole
Country.

Like good wine, the election news i'm
proves with age. The early returns
gave nothing fer democratic congratu-
lation: the later returns bring nothing
of democratic consolation.
For Col Bryan and his school of free
silver disruptionists there is only woe.
The death knell of their hopes has been
sounded. and from Nebraska through
out the west its echo sounds, reverberat-
ing from mountain across dale. The
west stands true to an honest finance
and safe, progressive administration.
Here, where the white metal madness
counted most confidently upon support,
Its projectors found it's most positive
reputation.
That the east has in measure
proved recreant to republicanism af-
fords no comfort to this stranded crew
of piratical wreckers. The states whore
democratic gains in congressional rep
resentation have been made are for the
most part those that kicked the silver
plank from their platform, ignored the
issue and went to battle on local fac
tionalism. The sixteen to one zealots
can figure their cause no gain in re-
publican losses sustained in the east,
SO the country can congratulate itself
upon the retirement of Col. Bryan to
the shades of oblivion-which he so well
adorns-and the stilling of the free sill
yer slogan now and forever as a dan
gerous campaign cry.
But there are other features of the
results that are gratifying to repub-
licans. The administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley is handsomely Endorsed
by the gener vote of confidence. This

DThe result of the congressional
election is significant. For the first
time since 1870 the country unmstak-
ably sustains the administration at the
congressional election of the Off year.
In 1874, 1878. 1882, 1890 and 1894 the
party represented by the administra-
ton lost the house by slaughter Of it's
members overwhelmingly. while in
1886 the democratic loss, though not
disastrous, was severe and sufficiently
to warn the administration and it's
party of the fate to surely overtake
both in the national election of 1888.
The elections of this week disclosed
that the country is likely to elect n

An A.-.e eahIe Cough Mixture.


 Chi)C r,, can often be induced to take ''mother's" cough mixture when they pull wry faces over physicians prescription. Most housewives have some old and tried cough mixture recipe by which they set great store, but should there be some among my readers who do not possess such a recipe, would suggest their adoption of the following mixture, which will be found very soothing to the throat and chest: Get three large, fresh lem ons and boil them in already boiling water for about seven minutes; then, when tender, slice them very thin, put the slices in bowl together with a pound of best moist sugar, and set the bowl on the stove for some hours, so that the contents may almost be said to have distilled. Then take the bowl from the fire and let the contents cool for half an hour. Lastly stir in table spoonful of oil of sweet almonds, and give a teaspoonful of the mixture at a time when the throat is irritated.- Chicago Times-Herald.

The First Thought.

When awakening in the morning, do not rub the eyes; indeed, one ought never to rub or press the fingers against the eyes. If they feel at all irritable sponge them with cold water. Cold water has a most beneficial effect upon the eyes, and the strongest will find it good to daily bathe the eyes in cold water This invigorates them and helps to keep them in good working or der. But it must be remembered that quite cold water should only be used when the body is at moderate tenn perature. When one Is very heated or warm, the chill must be taken off the water to avoid any sudden shocl.-Bos- ton Herald.
