Buckalew was not an applicant for appointment to the Su preme bench to fill the vacancy caused by the death rf Judge Clark. The Democracy of this county, and his many friends all over the state would have been pleased to see him in that position, but we can state authoritatively that he was not an appl cant for the appointment. Mr. Buckalew has no doubt been greatly an noyed by the action of some of his ovcrzealous friends who peisist in using his name in connection with every va cant office of prominence. He is not seeking any ofhee, and does not like to be constantly kept before the pub lic as a chronic aspirant for place. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington P. C. Dec. 4, 1891. The next Speaker of the House will "be Mr. Mills Crisp McMillin Springer Hatch, just as certain as the caucus meets next Saturday. As a prophet with a reputation to main tain, there are no signs visible that would justify your correspondent in dropping any portion of this composite name. In plain everyday talk, these five gentlemen and their friends are engaged in conducting one of the livliest and the most uncertain cam paigns for the Speakership ever known. Each of them is apparently confident of winning. It is conceded by the other candidates that Mills and Crisp are well in the lead, but they contend that neither of them can get votes enough to get nominated and that after two or three ballots are taken without result, there will be a stam pede to other candidates. Mr. Crisp's friends boldly claim his nomination without fail on the first ballot, while the advocates of Mr. Mills say that he aill be nominated on the second or at Jie outside the third ballot. It is believed that more than one lundred unpledged members have ar rived within the last forty-eight hours, and that half as many more will be here within the next two days. Many of these men are entirely new in National politics, and a goodly per centage of them are personally unac quainted with a single one of the -candidates. It is the votes of these men which will settle the Speakership, and at this writing no man can say with any truthfulness how they will vote ; much will depend upon the impression made upon them by the candidates and their friends, and there is little doubt that some of the candidates are being injured by fool-friends. The caucus, which will probably be held next Saturday, will include all of the Farmers' Alliance men from the South and perhaps some of 'hose from the West, although Jerry Simpson says none of the Alliance men will go into the democratic caucus. 235 would be about the number if there was a full attendance, but it is safe to de duct five or six on account of absence, because of sickness cr other reasons, so that it may be set down as a reas onable certainty that the man who can get 115 votes will be nominated. The canvass for the minor offices of the House is quite as spirited as that for the Speakership, and the number bf candidates is much greater, and not a few of them are ex Members of the House. Turner, the "iceman is mak ing a typical Tammany struggle for the Doorkeepership; Pennsylvania has two candidates for Clerk, and Virginia two Jor rost-master. Hut these posi tions are usually settled in the last hours of the campaign by means of combinations with the winning Speak ership candidate. While Mr. Harrison was cogitating on the free trade treaty which has been negotiated with Hawaii and won dering what the people would think ot his signing such a treaty after re fusing to even receive the Commis sioners sent by Canada to negotiate for an enlargement of our trado rela tions, Mr. Blaine supped over to Philadelphia to see Clans Spreckels, who is the virtual owner of Hawaii, and find out what he thought about this high protection administration en dotting a treaty of absolute free trade, Meanwhile Mr. Harrison will hold the treaty until he can sound public opin ion; if favorable, he will sign it and send it to the Senate for ratification, if unfavorable, he will 'pigeon-hole ' it That's statesmanship of the Harrison brand. It is said that Senator Sherman has complained to Mr. Harrison of Mr. Blaine's meddling with his Senator ship campaign in Ohio, and requested his aid in havi.ig it stopped. Just as has been predicted all along the Pacific Mail Steamship Company will gobble up the greater part of the money paid out under the Postal sub sidy act of the last Congress. Mr. Wanamaker has signed eight con tracts for carrying the mails under that law, and the Pacific Mail Com pany gets three of the best of them, being for ten years each and to begin tanuary 1, i8yi, while the others will cgin at different dates between March 1, 189J and December 1, 1894. It seems to make all the difference in the world when you call a plain, everyday subsidy grab of Government money "expediting our ocean mails." One of the greatest national legislative scandals ever brought to light in this country was the exposure of the meth ods used to pass the Pacific Mail Sub sidy bill through Congress a few years ago, an exposure that drove a number of prominent republicans from public life. Now the same thing has been accomplished, and if anyone dares to protest he is charged with being insti gated by political prejudice, and with trying to prevent the extension of our foreign commerce. Odd isn't it? It looks as though there was to be a revival of the trouble between Wana maker and Roosevelt, originated by the public statement by the latter that the former had been guilty of care lessly handling the truth.

(Catarrh la a complaint so common that comparatively few people arc entirely free from it, so insid ious that it gains a firm hold almost tvfore its victims'are aware of its presence, so dang erous as to seriously threaten the general health, and liable to develop into bronchitis or Consumption. It is a mistake to consider Catarrh merely a local trouble. It is unquestionably a disease of the blood, and therefore the right way to cure Catarrh is to remove from the blood the impurities which cause and feed it. This is to lie done by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier, which effectually expels all traces of poison and germs of disease. "I have been troublcJ for years with (Catarrh and have never received the least benefit from the many so-called catarrh cures. Of late I have been taking Hood's Sarsaparilla and can honestly say that I nm certainly imj roved. I know Hood's Sarsaparilla to be a good medicine." II. A. Geokge, Athol, Mass. Stuffed up Feeling "For years I have been troubled with that terrible disagreeable disease. Catarrh. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla with the very best results. It cured me of that continual drooping in my throat, and stuffed-up'feeling." Mrs. S. D. Heath, I'utnam, Comb Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the best blood purifier, the best nerve helper, the best strength builder. Try it.

Read what the city paper says: "A solid mile of wheat carrying cars, arriving every hour is something astounding in the railroad traffic of this country, and certainly no other country ' ever saw the like." The truth is no country was ever favored as the United States is to-day, prosperity fairly blossoms. We wish to add blossoms to the ladies, misses and children, in good cheap coals, in shawls, in blankets from $1.00 to $5.00 pair, in a new arrival of dress goods and trimmings, in warm underwear, in hosiery and gloves.

Which one is it? Sometimes, it mriy bo a matter of doubt. But, in tho case of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Proscription, thcro'ii no room for doubt. It's a matter that can bo proved. With tho facts before you, it's an insult to your intelligence to have something elso offered as " just ns pood." And here's tho proof : Among all tho medicines that claim to euro woman's peculiar weaknesses, irreg ularities, and diseases, tho " Favor ite Prescription " is tho only ono that's guaranteed. If it doesn't do all that's claimed for it, if it doesn't givo satisfaction in every case, you'll havo your money back. There's strength r.nd vigor for every tired nnd feoblo woman, health and a new life for every delicate and ailing woman and if there's no help, there's no pay. Gilmore'sToy Bazar. PUT A PIN IN' HERE.
