John Sherman,

Like William E. Gladstone, John
Sherman died at dawn. Qualities of
the most diverse sort distinguished
the two men. Gladstone was an emo
tlonal. Sherman an intellectual force
in politics. The one had the gift of
leadership to a remarkable degree: the
other was able to gather a devoted
following. Delegates to national con-
ventions liked to talk about Sherman.
but they did not vote for him. In the
Chicago convention of 1880, when
Sherman was at the height of.his
power and fame, when, as Secretary
of the Treasury. he had met and solv-
ed the difficult problem of specie pay
ment resumption, he received only 90
votes on the first ballot. During tue
two days of baIloting only twenty-six
recruits came to his standard, while
Grants 304 remained faithful.
The devotion shown by Grants .sold
guard" could never have been awak-
ened by Sherman. Eight years later
lie received 249 votes, but that was
the nearest he-ever came to the Presi-
.dency. if he had had tithe of the
magnetism of Blaine it is probable
that he, instead of Benjamin Harrison
would have succeeded Mr.. Cleveland
as President in 1888.
John Sherman was almost the last
of the leaders of the Civil war period.
His long service in the Senate, from
1861 to 1897, broken by the four years
when he was Secretary of the Treasu-
~, covers the whole period of the de-
yelopment of the Republican party.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by-an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflaned you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal ondition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (cauSed by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catafri Cure. Send for circulars, free.

One week from next Tuesday the
Republican party will win the biggest
victory scored by any party~in the
United States since 1872. All the ind:-
cations point to an overwhelming pre-
ponderance of votes, on the honest
money side. The American people
are not only in earnest in their deter
mination to defeat Bryan, but they
are resolved to make the majority
against him so great that the fight of
1896 and 1900 will never have to be
fought over again.

Here is what the Pioneer says about
the political situation in Smith coun-
ty: Republican prospects were never
SO bright since the Populist Landslide
in 1890, in old Smith county, as at the
present time. The hot-bed of Popu-
lism,' as Gov. Roosevelt called it, may
not be such a flourshing hot-bed after
all when the votes are counted. The
Pop leaders will find that it is no easy
trick to deliver the rank and file over
into the Democratic party"

Hoar Is now one of the few men of
Sherman's school who remains before

John Sherman's last years were
clouded by his experience in the Nc
Kinley cabinet, from which his enfirm-
tiles forced his retirement. Age had
told on him heavily since that time
and death must have come to him as
a welcome relief. To the men who
recall his great public services, the
news must inevitably bring a feeling
of regret for the days gone by.-Star

Bryan and fanaticism; Breidenthal
and socialism. Can the people of Kan
sas consistently vote for either? Would
it not be much better to vote for that
grand, patriotic statesman William
Mckinley, who, by his wonderful exc
cutive ability has brought prosperity
to our land, and w. E. Stanley, who
has given the state a clean business
administration, then to support Bryan
and his fallacieS and Breidenthal and
his socialistic ideas. Can we afford to
vote for such change?

Patronize the Home Merchant.

The Augusta Eagle: A representa-
tive Of Chicago house has been among
the people just west of this city the
past weck soliciting orders for
groceries. This saleman uses sugar
as his ''leader" He goes to place
and carries the idea that you are
being robbed by the local merchant
on every pound of sugar you buy:
takes an order for 100 pounds of
sugar at sc pound and then
proceeds to tuck on the price on a
miscellaneous lot of groceries of
unknown quality that he manages to
get an order for, so that he more than
comes out whole in the deal: the
customer, IN addition, paying the
Why it is that the people win noe,
lect their home merchant, whom
they know to be honest, and who is
ready 3l3 days in the year to serve
them with what they want at small
margin of profit to himself and buy
of a stranger of unknown reputation
travelling from place to place, is more
than we can understand.
Take,the sugar question. The home
merchant cannot sell you sugar for 5
cents, because it costs him S591 100
in Chicago. Add to this 25 cents for
freight and say cents for carriage
and selling the same for 63c you can
see where the profit comes in. AS to
tea, coffee and other groceries, it is
greatly to your advantage to trade
with the local merchant for the
reason that you can buy from time to
time, always getting goods that are
fresh, and as to the quality you will
find the merchant back of every
pound you buy. Stand oy the local
merchant.

Reducing The Revenue.

During the Walker and Wilson
German Tariffs there was no bill
introduced for a reduction of the
revenue. No: President Buchanan
apd President Cleveland both had to
issue bonds to meet expenses. How
different it is now. Though we are
on war footing yet, a reduction OF
$50, 900, 900 to SAC, 900, 900 in our internal
revenue will be made, our average
customs receipts being for the last
three years $4,000, 900 greater than
the average of the preceding three
years under the WilSon-GOrman law.
Our Free-Trade friends have much tC
acknowledge and confess these days.
It is now in order for them to admit
that the Dingley law is a revenue
raiser, however much they may differ
as to it's effectiveness as a prosperity
raiser. Even the latter does not
seem to be bequestioned by the American
Cobdenites, who tacitly admit now
that Protectionists can frame a bill
for both revenue and Protection that
satisfies all conditions.

was sent for, and it was feared that
d case of blood poisoning would result.
