Republican Club Officers.

The following officers of the
Young Mems Republican Club, of

last meeting: President, Richard S.
Brown; list vioe-presidept, Daniel
j. Pinkett; 2nd vice president, j.

The plant of this political ma
chine appears to be full and COM
plete and should be able to turn
out fine article of goods. Even a
sargent at arms is provided with a
silver mace-we suppose-tO insure
proper order during the sessions of
the club. Wonder what the club
proposes to do2 Would it explain
what "sound money" is-and
what the party's idea is of "gold
standard 2" There isn't Repub-
lican in the Sixth district that can
give you an intelligent definition of
either, and we have gOldbug club
in the Sun that has been at work
on the problem for two years and
hasn't been able to solve it yet.
The last effort ended in row when
a motion was made to pass gold
bug resolution or endorse something
of that sort.
We feel encouraged though, that
the Port institution with its fine
official outfit will be able to find the
answer Of-What is "sound
money =" Everybody wants to
know but its authors either won't
or can't tell. We have lost faith
in our Rising Sun club, but feel en-
Outraged that the Port club will
lead us out of the wilderness
What is "sound money " The
term is of Hebrew origin and may
be in the Talmud. 1t is not in the
Bible.

Baby'S Smooth, Fair Skin

Cured Him of Dreadful ScrofuIous
Sores Now in Good Health,

NOTeO F1iII1 OF OfSduIUI SCrO1uI0uS
Sores Now in Good Health.
cat the age Of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the local external an.
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore made its appearance on his arm.
1t grew worse and worse, and when he
was three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1 also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and
have never returned. He is now four years
old, but he has never had any sign of
those scrofulous sores since he was cured
by Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel
very grateful. My boy owes his good
health and smooth, fair skin to this great
medicine" MRS. s. s. WoRTEN, Farm
ington, Delaware.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is sold by all Drug
gists. 81, six for $5. Be sure to get Hoods.

Great Loss by Flood in Cecil County


On Thursday of last week the
section of Cecil county drained by
North East and Little Elk creeks
was visited by such a down pour OF
rain as is seldom witnessed in this
part of the country. From five
O'Clock till eleven O'Clock in the
morning, something akin to a cloud
burst descended on the region OF
country embraced in the Ninth,
Fourth and Third districts. The
flood cleaned out about all the mill
dams and bridges on those two
creeks, and did much damage to
private property, carrying off live
stock, buildings and fences, and
flooding farms lying along the
creeks.
Twelve or fifteen bridges have
been washed away on the two
creeks, and the damage done to
bridges and roads will cost the
county thirty five to forty thousand
dollars to replace and repair. On
the Little North East creek the
bridges at Warburton's mill,
Mearn's mill, Mechanics Valley,
McVeys, and Janney's were carried
away. On the Little Elk creek the
wooden bridge at Providence mills,
two bridges on the Cecil, Lancaster
& Southern railroad, iron bridge at
Marley mills, covered bridge al
Childs, Harlan's mill bridge and
Elk Neck bridge near Elkton, were
swept away.

Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the Bur

the most widely known men in the State
was cured of rheumatism after three years
of suffering. He says: 81 have not suf-
fcient command of language to convey
any idea of what suffered, my physicians
told me that nothing could be done for
me; my friends were fully convinced that
nothing but death would relieve me oil
my suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.. Evans,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
were swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my leg
would burst, but soon after began using
the Pain Balm, the swelling began to de
crease, the pain to leave, and now con-
slider that am entirely cured. For sale

A Symposium on Intoxicants

The Fifty-fourth congress directed
the commissioner of labor to make an
investigation into the economic as
poets of the liquor problem; but, with
frugality that indicated either that
congress yielded to importantly. or that
it considered that there were no votes
in it, it provided that the expenses Of
the investigation should be met out of
the regular appropriations for the de-
partment of labor. Col. Wright pre-
sents the results of this investigation
in the bulletin of his department for
July. He prefaces the matter with
statement Of what data an investiga-
ton of the economic problem required.
and of what data it was impossible to
procure. He could not obtain accurate
data as to the capital and labor en-
ployed in furnishing the agricultural
products used in making liquors, nor of
the proportion Of transportation cost
involved; and the remaining data
largely derived from census reports. are
accompanied with explanations quail
flying their dependability. Even the sta
tlstics from the internal revenue bureau
have to be taken with ample allowance
IOr QupllcdtlOnS. Col. wright Is too
careful a statistician to risk his reputa-
ton on Mr.. Porter's census
But there is one feature, the conclud-
ing one, Of his investigation that has
a value and an interest. He deemed
it within the scope Of his inquiry to
ascertain from employers information
in regard to the use of intoxicants in
their relation to employment; what
consideration was given by employers
to the drinking habits of employees; how
far it was a bar to employment and
what means employers would suggest
to lessen consumption of liquors. To
get this information a schedule of uues
tons was sent out to 30,414 EMPLOYERS
of whom 12,114 were engaged in agri-
culture, 6,673 in manufacturing, 6,5S2 in
mining and quarrying, 3,O4O in trade
and zoos in transportation: 7,025 replies
were received, 1923 from agricuIturists
employing 1855 hands; 3,744 from man
ufacturers with 1,011, e61 employees; 1,lSS

Sir Williams Anti-American Letter.

Canada for Canadians; no Ameri-
cans need apply" Is the pith of letter.
written by Sir William Van Horne to
the Toronto Globe twelve years ago.
Its presentation in evidence before the
interstate CONNER commission in Chi
cago was objected to by the counsel
of the Canadian Pacific railway. 1t was
admitted. however. 1t referred to a
proposition to obtain a charter for the
Cattle River railroad, running from
this country into Canada, in which
Sir William asserted that the Cana
dians meant to keep Canada for them
selves, and that the interests Of the
Canadian Pacific required that Ameri-
can roads should be excluded. In &C
cordance with the views Of the Cana
dian Pacific the Canadian government
refused to grant the charter.
The spirit underlying all the Cana
dian Pacific's operations is well Illus
trated by Sir Williams letter. 1t
throws a side light upon the situation
which cannot fail to convince the COM
mission that the Canadian Pacific Is
anti-American In everything.

WISH 1t understood that because Mr.. Lind ba,
volunteered into the army he has lost all his
personal rights! He has for years been one
OF the foremost men of this country and bas
made our foreign policy a special study
because he sees fit to endorse the resolution

Swift County Monitor.
Quartermaster John Lind has at last ac-
copied the nomination for governor at the
hand of the fusionists but he says he dos
not expect to leave his army duties to con-
quot his campaign in this state, but that he
will leave that work to his friends. The
nomination was entirely unsolicited and
should he be elected. 1t VIII be because the
people want him. With two such good can
didates for governor as Eustis and Lind the
state is certain Of having good man which
ever one is elected.-Murray County Herald
Linds honesty. patriotism and purity will
win for him thousands of votes through
the state from men who love those virtues
and have so long searched in vain to find
them in former candidates. John Lind's POSI-
ton at the front will also have a telling eff
feet upon the voters who believe and know
that he has sacrificed much in the cause of
his country. and. unlike his opponent az
lowed the office to seek him instead of his
seeking the Office. The contest will be a
hard fought one, and with almost equal
chances from the start 1t actually seems as
though Lind will win with a handsome ma
jority.-Eveleth Star.
The man who places patriotism above party
and business can be trusted in the councils

MAUER's SUNDAY NIGHT.
1t Seems to Have Been Very Lively
From Various Reports.

Peter Mauer. proprietor of the Boston
restaurant, S19 st. Peter street, is laid In.
in bed with number of cuts and cortusicn,
about his head and face as the result of
some sort of an experience he had Sunday
night The police have been able to learn lit
tie or northing about the affair as Mauer re-
fused to lodge complaint against his assault
ants, though he says he knows who attacked
him.
From other sources, however, comes infor-
nation which seems to indicate that Third
and st. Peter street must have been a lively
locality Sunday night. Theodore Lorig. pro-
prietor Of a saloon at 81 West Third street
says he clicked" Mauer Sunday night but
claims he did not seriously hurt the restaur-
ant man. He says Mauer got into trouble
In the saloon and had fight with two other
men, Lorig says he separated the beligerents,
when Mauer turned on him and he was forced
to defend himself. This all took place be-
fore IL O'clock according to Lorig, but
Nicholas Krey, a soloonkeeper across the
street, says he heard a man crying for help
at $3.50 in the morning. He says he did not
go out, but that one OF his employees. who
opened his saloon to scrub out shortly before
o'clock told him that he had seen a man
covered with blood trying to reach the rooms
over Lorig's saloon, where Mauer sleeps
Lorig says II Mauer was much hurt that
he must have gotten into another fight after
leaving the saloon. Mauer told the pll'ce
that he knew who assaulted him ard that
there were seven men in the party He re-
fused to have them arrested, saying he would
get even himself later.
