M. S. 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.

but ' less microbes which in-

life in thousands of human beings an

for this small but numerous and des

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

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.
Stuffed -up Feeling
"Tor years I have been troubled with that
terrible disagreeable disease, Catarrh. I took
I lood's Sar. a larilla with the very best results.
It cured me of that continual dropping in my
throat, and stuff ed.up;feeling." Mas. S. D.
