The Union Reform party Gin
embryo) has its head center in Spring
field, Ohio, and the National Ney Era
is the party organ. The party's object,
professed at least, is to reform the gov
ernment into an Initiative and Referen-
dun government. That is the party s
platform. nothing else. The principle OF
Direct Legislation is being discussed by
political economists and the people are
being educated on the subject, which is
the proper and only way to introduce
vital reforms in government.
Founding a national party on single
economic principle, such as Prohibition,
Initiative and Referendum, etc., never
succeeds and never can succeed. These
infant parties set up for themselves and
commence battle against the old parties.
In place Of evangelists to teach and per
suade they sci out like Don Quixote,
knight Grants. TO ride down everything
they meet. The consequence is they
accomplish nothing and by their assump-
ton and arrogance. disgust and turn
away the mass of the people in place of
converting them to their faith. Such
parties are generally side shows to a
party that has money to spend.
The Ohio Union Reform party is plainly
side show Of the Republican party. Its
organ never has a word to say against
the Republican party, but column ON

LORD ROBERTS LONG CHANCES
The British General Has Had HAIR
breadth Escapes Almost
Beyond Belief.

Lord Roberts is living example of
the hazardous nature of the soldiers
calling, the number of narrow escapes
which he has experienced leading one
almost to suppose that he bears q
charmed life.
During the fighting before the walls
of Delhi bullet struck him on the
back, passing through leather pouch
for caps which he usually wore in
front near his pistol holster. The
mere accident of this pouch having
slipped round to his back prevented
the bah from penetrating as deeply
as 1t otherwise would have done. As
it was the wound was q rather severe
one. says the London Mail,
In the battle of Bulandshar he saw
q Sepoy taking aim at him, and was
unable to get at the man because of
the crush Of soldiers around him.
just, however, as the mutineer fired
Roberts horse reared and received the
bullet in its head.
A month later, during the advance
on Lucknow, Roberts and another
young officer rode forward to mark
out the camp, and were cut off from
the main body by large number OF
the enemy. Riding as hard as they
could under hot fire, they were at
tempting to escape round the enc
my's flank, when Roberts horse fell
with him into o deep nullah. The
enemy gained the edge of the nullah
and opened fire at close range, the
situation being rendered all the more
perilous from the fact that Roberts
had accidentally cut his hand with his
drawn sword, and he had some diff.
Guilty in remounting. At length he
scrambled out, and, ducking to avoid
the shots, regained the main body.
During the attack on Lucknow, and
in accordance with Sir Colin Camp
bells orders, Roberts planted a flag
on one of the turrets of the Mott
Mahal. A shower Of shot was aimed
at it, and it was knocked down into
the ditch. At great personal risk
Roberts again planted the standard
in position, only to see 1t struck again
o short time later, the staff being ae-
tually cut in two. A third time the
gallant young officer raised the flag,
after which it suffered no further
harm.
On another occasion, when accom-
panying o body of cavalry in pursuit
of the enemy, Roberts saw two Sepoys
making off with q standard. Riding
after the rebels, he cut down one and
wrenched the staff from his grasp.
but while SO doing he was unable to
deal with the other man, who, pre-
senting the muzzle OF his musket close
to Roberts body. pulled the trigger.
Fortunately the piece missed fire.

Cut this out and keep it handy,
and when you hear a Hannaite
talking prosperity pull it on him !:
During the past month the following
labor items have been noted; The Wash
ington Mills, one of the plants of the
American Woollen Company, employing
5000 hands, have been closed down.
Eighteen mills of the American Steel
Company have discontinued work. In
the iron mines Of the Lake Superior and
Menoiniree regions wages have been cut
from 10 to IS per cent. Outputs have
been curtailed p 500, 900 tons, and labor
will suffer accordingly.
The rail mill, billet mill and furnaces
composing the plant of the Lorain Steel
Company, at Lorain, Ohio, have closed
down.
The Clinton Cotton Mills, of Clinton,
La, have ceased operation, and the out
put throughout the South has been
curtailed.
All over the country the railroads report
decreased earnings. This shows more
plainly than anything else that the tide
of prosperity is on the ebo.
The st. Paul, the Rock Island and the
Burlington showed decrease of $500, ooo
in net earnings for one month The
Louisville & Nashville earnings decreased
$I3I,52I and the Southern Pacific
1857, 72o.
When talking of prosperity for cam.
paign purposes Republicans should moi
fail to mention these things, as they may
find occasion to forget later on aud
attribute them to the effect of Democracy,

Reputation,

The goldbugs notion of dishonesty and
reputation would be putting money
enough in circulation to enable the
farmer to. get dollar a bushel for his
wheat in place of sixty-fve or seventy
cents. This is in plain English what
they mean by reputation, dishonesty
and injury to credit. This class own the
debts, mortgages, bonds and stocks, and
receive all the interest and dividends. If
an increase of the money in circulation is
sufficient to raise the price of wheat and
the farmers products generally at the
rate of thirty cents bushel, the goldbug
says that means dishonesty and repudia-
ton. If the bushel of wheat will be made
to pay thirty cents more on the farmers
mortgage or taxes, the goldbug calls that
dishonest money, an injury to credit,
Reputation. This is exactly what this
goldbug cry of dishonest dollar, dishonor,
reputation, injury to public credit and
like clap trap means.
The demonstration of silver, opening
the minis for free coinage of silver would
bring about this result. A hundred mil
lions of new money year would be put
into circulation and prices would grad
ually rise. The goldbug and bank credit
mongers could not corner silver as they
corner gold and their bank notes.
Silver money is in small denominations.
1t goes into use among the people. 1t
transacts the retail business. 1t stays
among the people. strengthens business
among the masses and upholds prices.
This is the reason for the goldbug cry we
hear against " Is to l." 1t is the fear of
more money and better prices for the
products of industry, especially the
farmers products. which would enable
the debtor. to pay the creditor thirty cents
on the dollar more than he is able to pay
under the hard gold standard times.
Such a change for the better would
make the poor man richer and the rich
man poorer. The latter would have to
pay more for what the poor man has for
sale, and that is what he don't want to
do, and so he brands it dishonesty, repu-
diation, bad money, and hates "I6 to /"
as the devil hates holy water. Give him
more of it is our advice to every laboring
man who tolls with hand or brain, every
farmer, mechanic, laborer, trader, the
whole industrial army against the pluto
crat robbing band.

Is 1t Right For an Editor to Recon-
mend Patent Medicines ?

From Sylvan Valley News, Breyrad, N C.
1t may be question whether the editor
of newspaper has the right to publicly
recommend any ofthe various proprietary
medicines which flood the market. yet as
a preventive of suffering we feel it duty
to say good word for Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea / emedy.
We have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and have
always found il reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours Of
suffering while physician is awaited.
We do not believe in depending implic-
lilly on any medicine for cure, but we
do believe that if bottle of Chamber
lain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on
hand and administered at the inception
of an attack much suffering might be
avoided and in very many cases the pres
ence OF physician would not be required.
At least this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For sale by

REPUBLICAN APATHY.
Pronounced in New York County lammany to Conduct d Whirl-
 wind Campaign.

There Is practically no republican campalgu iu New York county, says the Herald
 General Francis Y. Greene, who was forced into tue presidency of the republican county committee after the enforced retirement of Lemusl E. Quigg. had never mad any practical ex- perience ln county politics.
 General Greene, possibly because he has lacked experienced advice, Is un- dertaking to run republican county politics on the principles of silence, which he employed in the conduct oi the great asphalt corporation ol which be was the head before he entered the political field.
 He Is an independent and A repre- sentative of the better element, '' which for years has been the scoru of the machine politicians who now find themselves under hIs command
 Lack of enthusiasm at the county headquarters has affected the work III the several districts The leaders are content to go through the usual mo. tions without seeming to care, as d rule, what the result may be.
 MONEY AND SPEAKERS, BUT NO EN-
 rHUsIASM.
 Speakers are being provided for the county by the state committee, and money IS being furnished from the common fund from which the state and national committees draw. Yet with money and speakers at it's command the county committee seems unable tO rouse anything approaching genuine interest in the campaign.
 Demands nave been made upon the state committee for six or seven speak CTS Tor local meetings and they have been granted It has happened many times that before the meetings were over there were more speakers present than men in the audience.
 Money Is being spent, but in such a manner as to attract little attention While Tammany banners and flags and stere"pticons are seen everywhere, the county republicans are making no dis play.
 General Greene refuses to talk of what he ls doing or to discuss pros poets. He has not even word to say about Tammany. Republicans who go to county headquarters for encour- agernent find buttons and Autographs, but very little besides.

will break all records, and he Is plan ming to follow it up with 6 whirlwiDd canvass. He knows that he must do this In order to make any showing in the city.
 Every Tammany leader has warned the office holders of his district that they must work for Bryan or lose their places under the court of appeals de- cision, which permits removals at will. Even the women have been instructed to ask the shopkeepers whom they pat ronize to support Bryan. Each dis trict is raising its own fund independ- ently of the general fund, and every leader is determined to make the best possible showing in his district.
 Republicans who are familiar with the situation fear that unless the apathy of the local campaign is dissi- pated, the Tammany majority in this county may reach unexpected figures.

LIFE PROTECTION S1OOO TO $1O,OOO.
The Best Way to Provide an Es. tate for the Family. increas- ing Assessments Avoided
 by an Improved Plan.
Safety is Assured, Increasing Assess
 mentS Avoided and Economy Obtained by the Model plan
 and Medium Collections United ModernS.

The call, or death assessment plan, is known to be one of mistake and to- day generally so admitted by its most prominent original advocates. The remedy is reserve. The question for us is when can this remedy be easiest applied to rob increasing as sessmentS of power to work disaster to avoid the greatest failure in history and to make our enterprise the grand est achievement for mutual aid and protection. Certainly not when an order has become old, and the young and healthy are rapidly deserting, and those who remain have all they can do to pay current losses. It is then too late tO begin Uo make provisions for the future.
 The proper time to commence is when the order is young, when the death burden is light; in other words, by commencing right; and it is for the purpose of putting into practice, not theory, but demonstrated neces- Sity, that d reasonable reserve should be accumulated, that the United Mod ernS has been organized. This is the eX- cuse for its existence and will prove it's lasting success.
 The United Modern differs from the usual fraternal bene ticiary order, in that it's collection rates are equated 50 as to avoid an increase of cost in later years. To accomplish this re- suit the collection in the beginning is slightly in excess of the cost, and the surplus carried and improved by in- terest as a RESERVE Tor the day when the cost will exceed the collection.
 The collection rates of the United Moderns have been most carefully prepared and are scientifically correct They are based upon the mortality experience of the past, and ol old line companies, and it is capable of demon stra tion that the rate is sufficient in amount to give safe protection and to avoid an increase of cost, and of an equal demonstration that such q col lection Is absolutely necessary in or der to perpetuate the very existence or life not only of our order, but of any other order.
