FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1893.
Congressman Mutchler of Easton,
was buried on Monday. A large
number of distinguished people at
tended the funeral.
Judge Samuel S. Dreherof Strouds
burg died suddenly last Monday, aged
69 years. He was a nephew of the
late Frederick Drcher of this town,
and was one of the best known judges
in the state.
Since dollars are coined out of six
ty cents' worth of silver, it is no won
der that counterfeiters have turned
honest and are getting out dollars
containing the same amount of silver
as the genuine, and undistinguishable
from the mint issue. In former times
when a silver dollar was worth 100
cents, counterfeiters had to use baser
metals, which soon led to their detec
tion. But when the government itself
gives a fictitious value to its coinage,
who is there to deprecate the acts of
individuals who issue a dollar of the
same value as the government.-f-tific

The New York Sun makes some
sensible remarks on Chief Justice Ful
ler's decision in the World's Fair case.
It says : "To appreciate the import
ance of the Chief Justice's opinion, it
' is only necessary to consider what a
decision the other way would have sig
nified.
It would practically have held the
Government of the United states re
sponsible for the pecuniary affairs of
the Exposition. If the right of the
Federal Government to dictate as to
the management of the Fair has been
established, the Chicago people could
have gone to Congress next winter
with a very strong case, demanding an
appropriation from the United States
Treasury to cover every dollar of de
lir.it. More than that, it would have prac
lically asserted the supreme authority
of the Federal Government in regard
to matters which, under the Constitu
tion, belong to the States. It
would have been the longest and most
dangerous step toward centralization
since the reconstruction period.
Every American citizen ought to re
joice at the decision of the Court of
Appeals, whether he believes that Sun
day opening is a good thing or a bad
thing for the people."
Tuesday's Cabinet Meeting.
THE NEW PHASE OF THE SILVER QUES
TION DISCUSSED AT LENGTH.
Washington, June 28. Two hours
were consumed by the cabinet to-day
discussing the new phase of the silver
question and other matters demand
ing attention. The two conferences
yesterday afternoon and evening be
tween the President and Secretary
Carlisle simplified matters to some
extent Although the discussion, it is
said, took a wide range, it was neces
sarily brought back to one important
and unmanageable point that the
executive had no power in the prem
ises, congress alone being able to deal
with the measure for relief. It was
plain to the cabinet that the monthly
purchase of silver must be continued
-or else congress must be convened in
special session immediately. As the
. President had decided to call con
gress together in the early part of Sep
tember, to deal with the financial sit
uation, and manifested no intention
of changing his stated purpose, the
project of an earlier session of con
gress, it was understood, was dropped.
So far as the continuance of the pur
chase of silver bullion under the Sher
man law was concerned, it was point
ed out that little more than two
months remained before congress
would convene in extra session and
that during the intervening time the
silver to be purchased would be only
nine million ounces, a comparatively
small amount in view of the previous
purchases. The best way to deal
with the question was to wait the
course of events for two months long
er. This view was generally agreed
to and the meeting adjourned.

President Cleveland hopes to join
Mrs. Cleveland and Ruth at their Buz
zard Bay cottage the latter part of this
week, although he has so much to do
that he cannot mnke the trip one of
rest and recreation. He will simply
transfer the executive office from the
White House to his seaside cottage,
in order that he may work with more
comfort and fewer interruptions and
at the same time be with Mrs. Cleve
land during the period that every af
fectionate liusband likes to be with his
wife.
He told Representative Richardson,
of Tennessee, who was chairman of
the committee on Printing in the last
House and who will probably occupy
the same position when the present
House is organized, that he would not
appoint the new Public Printer for
some time. The delay in the appoint
ment of this official is believed to be
largely due to a desire to perfect a
plan for the entire reorganization of
the Government Printing office as
soon as the change is made.
Representative Catchings, ot Mis
sissippi, who was a member of the
House committee on Rules in the last
Congress, says some radical changes
will have to be made in the House
rules if difficulty is to be escaped in
carrying out the pledges of the party.
Rules that will prevent more than a
reasonable time being consumed in
filibustering are what will be needed
to carry out the democratic legislative
programme.
Representative Tarsney, of Missouri,
created a sensation in the House a
few weeks before the adjournment of
the last session of Congress by declar
ing that under Raum's administration
of the Pension Office pensions had
been granted for no other disability
than the loss of hair. Republican
members of the House bitterly denied
the statement and called upon Mr.
Tarsney to give the name of his in
formant, and the next day Raum sent
a letter to Representative Grout, of
Vermont, officially denying hat a pen
sion had ever been allowed for bald
ness, and again Mr. Tarsney was afk
ed to give his informant's name. Mr
Tarsney replied by saying that his in
formant was an employee of the Pen
sion Office and would at once be dis
missed if his name were mentioned.
He added however , that he believed
the statement to be true and said : "I
make this pledge to the House ; that
at the very first opportune moment it
can be safely done, I shall, by the files
and records of that Office, prove the
truth of my informant's statements, or
hold him up to the scorn of the House
and the country as a falsifier, a char
acter I do not believe he deserves."
Two clays before the inauguration of
President Cleveland Dr. Warren Holt,
of Missouri, a medical examiner in
the Pension Office, was dismissed
ur.djr the charge of having given false
information to Representative Tarsney.
Now for the sequel : This week quite
accidentally a case was discovered that
proved Mr. Tarsney's statement to
have been strictly true and the dismiss
al of Dr. Holt to have been unjust
he has been reinstated. The case is
that of Allen G. Peck, of Co. H. 1st
R. I. Light Artillery, who was allowed
a pension Oct. 19, 1891,10 be dated
from March 1, 1884, of $4 a month,
the only disability alleged being "loss
of hair 5 result of typhoid fever."
Whether there are other men drawing
pensions for baldness remains to be
seen, but Mr. Peck will draw no more
money on that account
Secretary Morton says his recent
trip to Nebraska convinced him that
the populist party is rapidly disinter
grating in the northwest and that the
democrats of that section will never
consent to a fusion with such a party.
He thinks that if any party combines
with the populists it will be the repub
licans in a few of the populists it will
be the republicans in a few of the
southern states.
Next Friday will close the present
fiscal year and instead of the eight or
ten million deficiency which was esti
mated by Kaum there will jemain un
expended more than $1,000,000 of
the pension appropriation.
It is understood that Sec. Lamont's
action in revoking his recent order ap
pointing an army Court of Inquiry to
inquire into CoL Ainsworth's connect
ion with the accident at Ford's old
theatre was the result of a conference
with President Cleveland, and that it
had been definitely decided not to sus
pend Col. Ainsworth until the courts
decide whether he is guilty or not He
will be indicted by the grand jury this
week.
There is nothing raugwumpish about
Mr. Dayton, the new postmaster of
New York City, who has been in
Washington several days attending to
the filing of his bond and other official
matters. Speaking of the appoint
ments to be made in his office, out
side of the classified servicj he said:
"In making appointments to these
places I shall put in democrats as a
matter of course. Mr. Cleveland did
not appoint me with the idea that I
would appoint republicans.
Impure blood is the cause of in
numerable maladies. Hence, one of
the greatest benefactions to humanity
was the discovery of Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
which, more than any other medicine,

Th Farmer's Hope.
Our elevitors are bursting with
wheat for which the farmer can com
mand but little more than 6o cents a
bushel. There are in Europe alone,
if we may credit the statement made
by the late Secretary of Agriculture,
Mr. RtiK'k, 150,000,000 people who
never eat wheaten bread. In the one
country is an immense supp y of visi
ble food waiting for buyers. In the
other countries are millions who i?o to
bed hungry. Between them ply ferry
boats with freight charges reduced to
a minimum. What prevents an ex
change that means benefit to both
sides, needed food to the one and
needed markets to the other ?
Not the sea, for it costs no more to
send a bushel of wheat abroad than to
send a letter in the mail, but the Mc
Kinley bill, which takes from the farm
er, or his middleman, one-third or one
half of the commodities for which he
might exchange this surplus wheat in
foreign markets as a fine for not buy
ing those commodities from some pro
tected home producer.
It is clear, then, that whatever di
rect benefits may come to classes from
release of taxes on the necessaries tln.y
consume or on materials with, which
they work, the great general good
to be sought in tariff revision is a
healthy expansion of foreign com
merce. This was the immediate re
sult of the Walker tariff in 1846. Dur
ing the twenty-five years previous our
foreign trade had not doubled. In
1822 it was $141,000,000. In 1846
it had grown to $227,000,000, an in
crease of but 60 per cent.
Under the low revenue tariff enact
ed in that year it swelled by i860
to $687,000,000, a growth of more
than 220 per cent, in fourteen years.
More significant and instructive still
was the increase in the tonnage of
American shipping engaged in the
foreign ttade. For thirty years prior
to 1846 it had been nearly stationary.
Ir. that year it was only 943,307 tons,
almost 40.000 less than in 1810. By
i860 it reached 2,379,396 tons.
These figures speak volumes, but
their chief encouragement is for those
who produce the surplus products that
must have other markets besides our
own for remunerative sales.
The tariff of 1846 made a vent for
our surplus products by opening a
market for the things which, and
which alone, other peoples had to ex
change for them. Yet this rapid ex
pansion of imports b'ought no distress
to home manufacturers. On the con
trary, after eleven years' experience of
that tiriff they assented, almost unani
mously, to a further decrease of 20
per cent.
The party of low taiiff and revenue
duties is not about to try a new and
dangerous experiment. It has no new
fanglcd theory which it wishes to test
upon the body jxjlitic. It has not only
the support of reason but this solid
justification of experience in the re
form it proposes to niak? by purging
our laws of the duties that smell oi
monopoly and rescuing the sovereign
power of taxation from private control.

USE OF A SIMPLE REMEDY.
MEN AND WOMEN INTERESTED.
"It is astonishing," said one of our
physicians the other evening, "how
many of the ordinary diseases people
suffer from come from the one cause
excess of uric acid in the blood.
To discover a medicine that would
dissolve this acid has puzzled thous
ands of the best men of the medical
profession, until Dr. David Kennedy,
of Rondout, N. Y produced what is
known the world ovtr as Dr. Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy. 1 he great value
we place in Favorite Remedy comes
from the fact that it is the only medi
cine that will effectually dissolve this
acid thus curing rheumatism, dyspep
sia, kidney, livei and urinary troubles
and the sicknesses women suffer from.
These and many more troubles all
come from the one cause, as I said
before, this deaih dealing uric acid."
Perhaps there has been no one per
son in Wyoming Co., Pa., that lias
suffered more than Mrs. Carrie Bou
ton, formerly of Schottville, but now
of Harvey's Lake, I.uzerne Co. Mrs.
Bouton, in relating her restoration to
health, said : "From a growing girl
I suffered from female trouble or weak
ness peculiar to my sex. Several phy
sicians prescribed for me but I found
no relief. I was reduced in flesh down
to 68 pounds. By accident I heard
of Dr. Kennedys Favorite Remedy
and determined to try it, and to my
great joy I began to realize that I had
found a medicine that was doing me
good. ' I think I had used five bottles
when I found that I weighed 121 J
pounds zv.i was better in health than
I ever was before. 1
Inquiry among Mrs. Eouton's neigh
bors shows that she states nothing but
the facts in regard to her case. Many
other instances of the kind are widely
talked of in Scottsville, Tunkhannock,
Wilke.ibarre and other places where
Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has
effected many cures after physicians
had given up hope.
"But," says one of our prominent
druggists, ' Favorite Remedy is equally
efficacious in other diseases, as talks
with people I have sold Favorite Re
medy to affirm. To my knowledge
right, in our town Favorite Remedy
has cured people suffering from rheu
matism, dyspepsia, kidney, liver and
urinary troubles."
Since the publication in one of the
New York medical journals of the
case of Mr. E. P. Tayer, of East Nas
sau, N. Y., Dr. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy has been increasing in sale.
Mr. Tayer had suffered for fifteen
years with inflammatory rheumatism.
His case was practically abandoned
by bis physicians. Favorite Remedy
was brought to his notice and in less
than three months after its use he was
a well man.
In commenting on this case Dr. W.
H. Morse, of New York City, says :
The great good in Favorite Remedy
lies in its power to dissolve this dead
ly uric acid. In cases of dyspepsia,
eczema, scrofula or any urinary di
seases I have never known it to fail,
when taken according to directions.
Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is not
only used by physicians now but can
be found on sale by every medicine
dealer. Wilke$-Barr (Pa.)Time8.
