When [ commenced to rub them, you could
see little white pimpes on the skin. l rubbed
more and more, until felt like twisting MY
fingers out OF their sockets. I had high
fever, and cold chils ran over me, and so
kept 1t going until was tired out Nights,
had to walk the floor until fell asleep.
My hands peeled like an onion, the finger
nails got loose in the roots, and the water ran
out, and wherever there was n little pimple,
there the burning fire was, and tell You and
can prove to you, that happened at least ten
times. During the day, I had TO attend to my
business, for am running blacksmith shop,
horscshoeing, and l would not shut up the
shop for anybody, but 1t was hard. My hands
pufed up worse than a toad When drove

through the bandage, on to the floor. My

IN A QUANDARY.

The recent plebiscite on prohibition In
the Dominion of Canada has placed Pre-
mier Sir Wilfred Laurier in a guam
dairy. Whether he likes a drink himself
or not whichever way he turns he is
apt to be thrown high and dry. The
Dominion went dry on the vote largely
by default, 1t is claimed, as the great
body of Canadian voters did not take the
trouble to 20 10 the polls. All the pro-
vinces voted dry save the province Of
Quebec, but the latter gave "a majority
against prohibition three times as large
as the majority for 1t in the Dominion
which was between 1900 and 2oOO0-and
al. the big cities went wet.
Quebec is Laurier's province and he
holds from it forty-eight votes in the
II is stated that his execution OF the
popular mandate" would operate in two
ways to defeat him at the next general
election In the first place. it would
cause a loss of government revenues de-
rived from malt and spirituous liquors
of 100000 or slO,OO0,"00 annually, thus
necessitating direct taxation. In the Sc
cond place, it would antagonize the
voters of his stronghold. On the other
hand, Il is contended, that failure TO
'lssten to the voice of the people would
produce a reaction among the vets, and
make for him active opponents Of
thousands who did not vote in the ple-
biscite. In short, Sir Wilfreds political
prospects seem TO be between the upper
and neither millstones.

v-
THE OCTOBER sun.

Remarks will soon be In order about
"the October sun"-that sun and this
month which Daniel Webster so eloquent
Nv extolled In the memorable speech he
made while standing on the portico, or
steps. of the Virginia Capitol, back in the
forties.
Some people say our summers are hot
ter than they used to be; some that our
winters are milder than formerly. Opinion
is divided as to whether the rainfall here
is greater or less than in the early days
of the republic; but there is no sort OF
question about our october sun. 1t is all
right. 1t goes to make up the loveliest
season of the year; though a frost is nee
essary to give 1t its best SAVIOR.
The September sun is debilitating. The
October sun following frost Is bracing
and cheering. And with 1t comes the
Indian summer; days Of hazy skies, air
that is exhilarating, and nights that warn
the mosquito to begone.
II is the time of the year that makes
old people feel young; the season for the
repalr of wasted muscle and brain tissue,
when the blood tingles in the veins, and
when even the man who has been worst
abused by fortune thinks that life is
worth living.

ORR INDIAN WAR.

The recent experience of the government
with the Pillager Indians out in Mime
sofa is not likely to discredit the con-
tention that there are no good Indians
except dead ones. OF late years the Pill
layers have borne an enviable reputation
as Indians go. More than one Indian
agent has sounded their praise with elo-
quent tongue and pictured graphically the
advances they were making towards cvili-
cation. Indeed less than moon ago one
OF these agents testified so enthusiastic
cally TO their all-'round goodness that ru-
mors OF the danger of an outbreak among
them that had reached the indian Bureau
officers were whistled down the wind
According to this agent the Pillagers were
showing commendable zeal in attending
church and manifesting a most laudable
desire to educate their children, live In
good houses, and keep the peace with
the world and the rest of mankind"
But although 1t may be true that these
conditions existed. it appears that Lot

changed into one Of tumult and blood

Interior Department there was a rude
awakening. The native deviltry OF the
Pulagers asserted itself, and the govern
ment had TO fall back on the r'ethod OF
c,vilizing "ye noble savage" that has
been in vogue pretty much ever since the
white man first set foot upon this Con-
tinent.
At last accounts such recourse had
worked well. The hostiles had been whip
ned and the danger of general uprising
and the massacre Of our troops was over
passed. In this connection We would say
that II IS very sad 10 realize that the Pill
layers have so utterly compromised their
Indian agent admirers and champions
and so strongly reinforced the contention
that there are no good Indians except
dead ones. But barring the fact that

Ter of the Peoples Bank. ana is now
dead. while his bank is in the hands OF

On another occasion Senator Quay wrote

900 shares of Sugar stock at az. which
he wished Hopkins Ito pay for and take
over TO the Peoples" II have bought It,
said Quay. "for keeps. but 1 don't WISH
tho stock TO be placed In my name just
yet" ETC., etc.
On another occasion Quay telegraphed to
Uopkins TO attend TO certain metropolitan
stock for him, and he added that he
would shake the plum tree The popu-
lar supposition Is that the State Trea-
surer was the plum tree. Many other
such writings are in the possession OF the
States attorneys, and most Of them were
produced a few days ago when Quay and
bis SON were examined and sent on to the
grand Jury to answer charge OF conspi-
racy.
II does not appear from any OF the
statements that we have seen that either
of the Quays is now indebted to the Peo-
ple's Bank: but there is circumstantial
evidence going TO show that the elder
QUAY received pay for the deposits placed
in the defunct bank.
This mode of handling State funds has
long been In vogue in Pennsylvania, and
has more than once been the cause OF
trouble there. There is a law fixing
heavy penalty for conspiring to use such
funds for private purposes. 1t now re-
mains to be seen whether conspiracy
can be proved to the satisfaction OF
Pennsylvania jury. The Quays seem to
think not; they appear to have no fear
of conviction or Of losing their hold upon
the State.

Gratis and a sudden healing of the breach

No doubt of It. And he words of the
News contain double warning 10 the
Virginia Democrats. which they would co
wen TO heed. In the first place, 1t is to
be feared that our party Is overconhdent
In the second place, It is in evidence that

His relations with Tammany Hall have
been somewhat strained. though he Is
supporting the Syracuse ticket very
heartily. He was not an original Van
wyck man, but the announcement has
inst been made that he will at once take
the stump for the Judge. At present 1t
is believed he will make most OF his APP
po,ntments in the up-country. No doubt
he would like to lead of in speech at
the Tammany ratification meeting. but,
an far ne has not been invited to do so.
With Hill and all his friends In line.
and with the probability that the free
silver independent candidate will with
draw. Democratic prospects in New York
are good. Though the odds OK oettors
continue In favor OF Roosevelt, they are
less than they were a week ago.
Rooseven's plan OF campaign is to shove
forward national issues all the time. That
gives him the opportunity he wants to
talk about the war with Spain aud vaunt
himself. 1t also allows him to dodge
some very disagreeable matters of State
concern.
The Democrats, on the other hand. are
making their fight chiefly upon State is
sues. They are able to point to the fact
that Governor Blacks administration has
been so unsatisfactory that the Republi-
cans would not nominate him for re-
election. What are called the canal
steals" occurred under Blacks admins
tration, and are a heavy weight for the
Republicans to carry. Then there is the
Raines liquor law, which is very OBJ
noxious to thousands of voters.
So. there are plenty of "live' State
issues for Mr.. Hill and other Democrats
10 discuss. Indeed, so far as Issues go.
the Democrats have the position of adj
vantage. They may, however, have great
trouble in checking the hero worship OF
which Roosevelt is the subject and coun-
teracting the influence or Hanna's
money.
Our people will not be altogether penni-
less. but they cannot hope to raise any
such sum as Hanna will provide Tor
Roosevelt. 1t would be q fearful blow for
the Republicans to lose New York at this
election. So they will spend money there
very freely indeed. However. 1t must be
conceded by every candid person that
within the past month Democratic pros
meets IN the state of New York have
wonderfully improved. No doubt about
that.
