Quay has instituted legal pro ceedings against the American Citizen of Titusville, Pa , with the claim that they have damaged his fair fame to the t xtent of ten thousand dollars The itizen does not seem to be alarmed in the matter as they publish a lengthy edi torial upon the subject, and challenge Quay to prosecute it to a trial. The Senate on Wednesday put an end to the proceedings against State Treasurer Eoyer and Auditor General McCamant, by deciding that they had no jurisdiction. The vote on the re solution was strictly a party vote, all the republican senators voting for and the democrats against. It took 30 days for the Senate to find out that they had no jutisdiction, that the pro ceeding was unconstitutional, and yet they were sufficiently satisfied that the senate had been constitutionally called, to take their $500 each from the state treasurer. This result is what might have been expected. The of ficers had grossly violated their oaths of office, they were self convicted The republican senate could not whitewash them, they were too deeply dyed i" wrong doinp. There was no doubt of their complicity, by which the state was robbed of over one million dollars, and the senate did not dare acquit them. They therefor threw the responsibility on some one else, by voting that they have no jurisdiction. WASHINGTON LETTE3. Washington D C. Nov. 9. 1891. Preposterous as if may sound it is nevertheless true that some of the most unscrupulous republicans are actually seriously entertaining the idea of stealing the seat in the Senate to which Hon. Calvin S. Brice was elect ed by the legislature of Ohio. As yet this movement is confined to sounding republican Senators to ascertain if they will vote to reject Senator Brice on the ground that he is not a citizen of Ohio. Those engaged in this despicable work suppose that it is a secret, and if on account ot noses, they find that they cannot control enough votes to succeed in the barefaced theft, it will not be openly attempted. Fortunately the republican majority in the Senate is a small one, and some of the republi can Senators are honorable enough and independent enough to do what they believe to be right, even to the extent of defying a republican caucus. It is these men that will prevent this political crime, if it is prevented. It is not known what Mr. Harrison thinks of this thing, but it is claimed that Secretary Foster is in favor of it, and that he is aiding in sounding the Sena tors as they arrive here. It is difficult to believe that the republicans in the Senate, much as they would like to add one more vote to their rapidly wan ing majority, will resort to such a method of doing it. Still, one must have a very short memory who will dare to predict to a certainty that it will not be done. But the prediction may be safely made that if it is done the honest people of this country wi.l see that it is followed by the speedy punishment of those who are guilty. Partisanship may under certain cir cumstances be excused, but dishonesty never. If Senator Brice has not a clear title to his seat no member of the Senate has. Senator Faulkner, who is a conser vative and level headed man, has this to say on the Presidential outlook: "I think that if the delegation irom his own State to the national convention want him nominated, Mr. Cleveland will be the nominee. But if factional differences in New York shell make it evident that no citizen of that state can secure unanimous support, the chances are that the nominee will be sought elsewhere, as it is absolutely necessary that the man nominated shall be able to carry New York State." Representative Mills' headquarters for the Speakership campa:gn are al ready open, although the number of Congressmen m town is as yet R.nall, but increasing with the arrival of every train. The headquarters of Messrs Crisp, McMillan and springer will be opened this week. As it is just four weeks to day to the opening of Con gress the candidates for Speaker will have to hu:tle for all they are worth from now on. The sudden death of the son of Representative Crisp cast a momentary gloom over that gentle man's prospects, but the activity of his friends will prevent his temporary absence from the scene of action re sulting in any harm to him. Among the republicans who are in hot chase after some of the fat official plums soon ta be distributed by Mr. Harrison, is ex-Speaker Keifer of un savory memory, who is now in Wash iugton to urge his own claims for something. It is Said that he isn't overparticular as to what office shall be given him, just so there in a good, healthy salary attached to it. His char.ee for an office is not regarded as very good. J he administration al ready has about all it can catry ot his kind. Mr. Blaine is very much disturbed. so his friends say, over the news from Brazil, which he fears may overturn the reciprocity agreement with that country. If the meager news we have had be true there is ample cause for his alarm, as it is certain that if the foreign influences in Brazil shall turn out to be powerful enough to destroy the republic, they will be strong enough to break up any arrangement that has a tendency to divert trade which F.urope has heretofore controlled, to the United States. There is a trepidation among the high officials of the Government service because of the belief that a shake-up is contemplated by Mr. Harrison, who thinks it will be beneficial to himself to replace some of them with better politicians and better Harrison men. Mclvinley s friends here are indig nant at the idea advanced by Eome of the Blaine men, that the Ohio man would be willing to play second fiddle to Mr. Blaine, or to anyone else. They say that McKinley's name will be presented to the national convention as a candidate for President, and that he will accept nothing else. Gov. Boies is much talked of by democrats here, and one hears the pre diction on all sides that he will be heard of when the democratic National Con vention meets. Senator Pa m rr, of Illinois, is one of his chief eulogists. SMALL (Are many of the count- but ' less microbes which in- deadly fest the earth.

It was fitting and proper that Mr. Cleveland's thoughts upon the possible contingencies of politics should be promptly procured and published. They carry more influence than those of any other man in the United States, and the people who have followed the course of the New York campaign have noted with satisfaction his very earnest entrance into its labors and the splen did speeches he delivered. The result has justified their hopes, and their con fidence in the soundness of his views and the thoroughness of his party feal ty has been confirmed. It has been a matter of constant ob servation also that throughout the country wherever his name has been mentioned it has evoked overwhelming applause. He states what must be the platform of the party in the coming presidential contest to wit : Tariff reform and sound and safe money. On these questions the democrats car ried New York, Iowa and Massachu setts each with an increased majority. The democracy should sea to it, that on these two questions the com ing conventions should be clear and positive. . The party is in splendid fighting trim, and needs only a platform of sound political principles and com petent leadership to win in the presi dential election. The campaign should begin at once. Circulate democratic documents, news papers and ideas. Stand up and de fend your party whenever and where ever you hear it assailed or attacked. Have a reason for your faith and give your party the benefit of it. When asked for his views upon the result of the elections Mr. Cleveland said : Of course, every one has a right to put his own construction upon the result, and I am not anxious to obtrude my ideas, but it seems to me some things ought to be no longer doubtful. Any man who still thinks that tat iff re form is a settled and obsolete issue, or that the importance of sound and safe money is a question upon which the people can be blinded, is either wilfully wrong or dangerously dull. "It seen s to me, too, that Demo crats ought to be satisfied that a stanch adherence to the principles of their party does not require the abuse of those who show an inclination ta help us. "I very much regret the defeat of Gov. Campbell. He has been a brave and honest official. This and the splendid canvass he made entitled him to success. While the election of Flower, Russel and Boies ought to cause the utmost rejoicing amo Democoats, they should not forget that with these things comes the obligation to be true to the people, honest in the adrocacy of our principles and decent it all frKinrvo ' ' u nit Distemper is dangerous and often fatal in winter when the horse can t get green food.

ROBT. E. PATTISON. By the Governor : Wm. F. Harrity. See. of the Com'to'lth. Catarrh Is a complaint so common lliat comparatively few people are entirely free from it, S3 insid ious that it gams a linn Hold almost uclore its victims'are aware of its presence, so dang erous ns to seriously threaten the ent-ral hear.h, and liable to develop into bronchitis or Consumption. It is a mistake to consider Catarrh merely a lKal trouble. It is unquestionably a disease of the blood, and therefore the right way to cure Catarrh U to remove from the blood the impurities which cause and feed it. This is to be done by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier, which effectually expels all traces of poison and germs of Uioass. "1 have been troubled for-years with (Catarrh and have never received the least Lenefit from the many so-called catarrh cures. Of late I have been taking Mood's Sarsaparilla and can honestly say that I am certainly improved. I know Hood's Sarsaparilla to be a good medicine." II. A. Gkukgk, Athol, Mass.
