Only six weeks separate us from the
congressional election. There has
been a complaint of Republican apa-
tby in two states which have recently
chosen state officers and congressman.
These are Vermont and Maine. In
both these states, however, the Repub-
lican majority was overwhelming.
There was no especial incentive for
the Republicans to make any effort to
poll their full vote, and, therefore,
MANY of them did not take the trouble
to 90 to the polls. But there will be
no Republican apathy, it is safe to
a V in the rest Of the states. The Re
publicans have an excellent chance TO
hold their predominance in the House
and to get control of the Senate, and
hey are likely to do both. Much de-
pends on the result of the coming cleo
ton. 1t is of especial Importance to
the country that the Republicans be in
entire control of all branches of the
government during the next two years.
MANY issues of tr~anscendent impor-
lance will have to be dealt with, and
the Republican is the only party which
has the balance and the sanity to deal
with them wisely. Every Republican
should, and undoubtedly will, do his
duty on November S.-Globe-D Demo
crat.

CUBA AND EGYPT.

Egypt under British protection fur nishes a valuable comparison for Cuba in arranging it's new government. For centuries the wretched condition e Egypt crushed beneath the heel of re- n.orseless despotism and spoiiation. the right robbers, ground down in abject poverty, resembled Cuba's condition under Spanish rule. Yet the Nile delta like the island Of Cuba is a very para disc fer the farmer All he has to do is to cast the seeds abroad and the rich harvest follows.
 About twenty years ago a great good lfortune befell the poor Egyptians Their khedive, not content to spend all he could wiring from his subjejcts, ran into debt and finally had to make an assignment for the benefit Of his cred- iiors. He sold England his shares in the Suez canal for s20O00,0OO. but that operation afforded only temporary relief At last, Lord Cromer, a level headed Englishman, became the virtual governor Of the country. The fiction Of Turkish sovereignty was main tained; so too was the reality Of she home sovereignty. as far as was con sistent with good government. But Lord Cromer wielded 9 great power for the protection of the people in their personal property rights. As a conse- Grence the Egyptians for two decades have enjoyed a degree Of prosperity never before known by them in history.
 What British protectorate did for Egypt, the United States can do, and doubtless will do. for Cuba. It has stayed the hand of the oppressor and taken the lash from his grasp Now it must make government under which the producer will not be robbed Of his products and there will be justice and liberty fer all.

REMEDY FOR HEADACHE.

Departmental headaches are dis tinct nalady," remarked a well known
 physician to reporter, and it is SOFT ewhat of 9 surprise how many suf- ferers there are among department cleI Ks from this trouble. The thing seems to grow among t5sm, and they have their headaches as regularly as they Lave their work. A simple rem edy which is worth trying is to put a rubber band around the head just above the ears. The band should not be tight enough to stop the circulation of the blood. The band known as the string band is generally sufficiently heavy for the purpose. It should be applied just as soon as it is noticed that the headache is setting in, and taken off the moment the pain ceases. IF many cases the rubber band works nicely, though it affords no relief when the headache is the result of stomach troubles or biliCusness. 1 find, also, that rubber band twisted about a toe between the corn and the feet is a handy remedy to stop the pain from a jumping corn. Corns are very liable to be troublesome when there is much humidity in the atmosphere. The rub Der band seems to temporarily quiet the nerves in the toe, and in this way stop the pain. As in the case Of band around the head, the pressure should not be tight enough to stop the circu- lat.on Of the blood. .'-Washirgtcn Star.

gether in peace, in forty years there will not be a gun fired in the world without their consent" This state ment at that day seemed preposterous, anC no one but man with Brisht's comprehensive mind could have dared to make such an assertion to go before tha world. It has been but thirtyfve years since Mir. Bright made that state ment, and yet events have happened in the last few months which give to Mir Bright's words the spirit of prophecy. and no one would now hesitate to re- produce it. Colcnel Birch asked Mar nladuke how he felt as he listened to snch remarks from the then greatest man in England, as to the future Of the American people, when he was engag- ed in breaking up that great country. Marnadul1e admitted that it gave him uEeasiness of mind in connection with his, own conduct, and that for the first time he began to rea.iZe the wonderful power and influence w4-ch the Ameri- caE people. were to have on the desti niss Of the world, and added with |; tremor in his voice: Like all other southern men, I am glad that the Al eighty has preserved us for purposes -ef His own, which will some day be nI1 eiled before the world.

JOHN BRIGHTs PROPHECY.
Wouldn't be a Gun Fired in the World
 Without Our Consent.

Colonel Birch tells in 2 Plattsburg paper of the following conversation he had thirty years ago with Colonel Vim cent Marmaduke, and it's application
 to present conditions is such that we give it to the public. Every Missouri ian knows that Colonel Marmaduke, like his brother, was a decided confed- crate, and during the war he was the bearer of dispatches from Mir. Davis to Mir. Mason, who represented the southern confederacy in England. Mar maduke says that one evening Mir. Ma son said to him: "FIr. Marnaduke. John Bright is to make Q speech to- night in the house of commons. and J think it would be to your pleasure and interest to go down to hear him." It will be remembered that at that day Mr. Bright was the most conspicuous figure in England. Marmaduke went, and during his speech Marmadul1e says that Bright stopped, and, chang ing the line Of his remarks, said: NIr. Speaker, if our kinsfolk on the other side of the Atlantic settle their civil war satisfactorily, and get back to-
