All communications should be addressed to THB COLfMniAN, HloomsbuiR, ra. FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1894. Twenty five state senators will be elected in November in districts now represented by sixteen Democrats and nine Republicans. According to the Grow vole the Republicans have majorities in the Tenth, Twelfth, Twentieth, Twenty fourth, Thirtieth, Thirty- second, Thirty fourth, Thirty eighth, Fortieth, Forty sixth :.nd Fitti eth, now represented by Senators Ross, Markley, McDonald, Rooney, Lloyd, Monaghan, Meek, Hyde, Brant, Dunlap and Logan. They are certain to gain three if not more members ot the hold-over senators, but one Green, of Berks is a Democrat. It is said that Lieutenant Governor Wa res is "laying wires" for the vacan cy in the senate to be filled in 1897 and that he may defeat Grow for the seat if the latter be a candidate. The fact is that it will be not the fault of either if neither be selected. The recent election gave Grow a strong claim upon his party and if he says or docs anything in the house his superior ity to the senatorial mannikins that now represent the second state in the Union will at once be made apparent. Watres may be "laying wires," but it requires much more than that to se cure a scat in the senate, and nobody knows how soon the wires may be grounded. But more important still, the present incumbent has a purse as thick as his head and knows how to use it to advantage. And a liberally used purse makes a great deal of political history. 1'atriot. On Sunday the topic of several Rep ublican journals was ''One Year of Clevelandism" It is a year since President Harrison went out of the White House and President Cleveland stepped in, but "Clevelandism" is yet an unknown quantity. Mr Cleveland has administered the Government as well as he could for the past twelve months on the hard and fast lines laid down by his Republican predecessor in office. Congress has been exceeding, ly slow in making such changes in the polity of the country as are deemed necessary. Until the tariff bill now under consideration is finally passed the effect of "Clevelandism " wherein its revenue policy nearly touches the business of the country is a matter of conjecture. The effect of the McKinley policy is a matter of history. On all measures that have passed Con gress, on all changes of executive policy put in operation by Mr. Cleveland the Democratic party is ready to assume responsibility. The attempt to hold Mr. Cleveland responsible for the wreckage of the national prosperity which was turned over to him as an asset of Republican management will only deceive those shallow pates who are satisfied to let other men do their thinking. Ex. The officials of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad have been quietly at work since the re cent accident at the Hackensack mead ows, negotiating the settlement of claims made, and compromising suits brought against the company,' by ad ministrators of people killed in the accident, or by those. injured. Up to date there have been seventy -two com plaints lodged against the company, thirteen of which were loss of life. The company has settled forty seven of these cases, five of which were for loss of life. They have through their agents paid to the administrators of dead per son about $30,000, and have paid the claimants for damages on account of injury nearly $15,000, making a total of nearly $45,000 paid already. There are in the neighborhood of twenty-five cases, the settlements of which are pending. Some have brought suits for large sums and do not feel like coming down to any terms the com pany seems disposed to offer. The death cases have been settled for $5,000 each. The New York Sun says in the damage cases the amounts paid have tanged from $15 for a torn suit of clothes up to $4,000 paid to a man who will probably be paralyzed for life. One man in Newark sued for $40,000 and accepted $1,500. Another sued for $3,000 and accepted about $150. In a majority of the damage cases the average does not amount to over $200 a case, but an item of $1,000 here and $1,500 there, swelled the total to a considerable sum. For all derangements of the throat and! lungs, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is the spedie.t and most reliable reme dy. Even in the advanced stages of Consumption, this wonderful prepara tion affords great relief, checks cough ing, and induces sleep. State Treasurer-elect Jackson has appointed ex-Judge Benjamin J. Iley wood, of Mercer county, his former rival, to succeed Morrison Taylor, of Phil.idcl;!iia, as Cashier of tlie State Treasury. Jud ;e Sittser'j term on the bench in Wyoming county will expire this year and a successor chosen. He will in all probability be his own successor as he has made a most honorable rec ord upon the bench, and in such an important position there should be no experiments. Wiulusing liockct. Judge Sittser ought to be re elected without opposition. He is an upright and able Judge, and the people of that district can't afford to lose him. George B. Orlady, the Huntingdon lawyer politician, who nominated General Hastings four years ago, will not go into the coming convention as a delegate. It was intended by his friends that he should be one of the delegates from Huntingdon,but on account of the factional strife in the Republican ranks in that county Mr. Orlady has given notice that some body else must take his place. Politicians will be surprised to learn that Mr, Orlady, whose name is prominently mentioned as a successor to Attorney General Hensel in the event of the success of General Hast ings, will be no longer an aspirant for the office and that he would not accept it if tendered him Bland's Bill As Pawai TEXT OF THE SUBSTITUTE ADOPTED IiY TIE HOUSE. The Wowing is the text of the substitute offered by Mr. Bland and adopted: Section 1. That the secretary of the treasury shall immediately cause to be coined, as fist as possible, the silver bullion held in the treasury purchased under the act of July 14, 1890, entitled "an act directing the purchase of sil vcr bullion, and the issuing of treasur y notes thereon, and for other purpos es," to the amount of the gain of seigniorage of such bullion, to wit, the sum $55,156,681, and such coin and silver certificates issued thereon shall be used in the payment of public ex penditures, and the secretary of the treasury may, in his discretion, if the needs of the treasury demands it, issue silver certificates in excess of such coinage, provided that said excess shall not exceed the amount of seign iorage as herein authorized to be coined. Section 2. After the coinage pro vided for in the first section of this act the remainder of the silver bullion purchased in pursuance of said pet of July 14, 1890, shall be coined into legal tender standard silver dollars, as fast as possible, and the coin shall be held in the treasury for the redemp tion of the treasury notes issued in the purchase of said bullion. That as fast as the bullion shall be coined for the redemption of said notes, the notes shall not be reissued, but shall be can celled and destroyed in amounts equal to the coin held at any time in the treasury derived from the coinage herein provided for, and silver certifi cates shall be issued on such coin in the manner now provided by law, pro vided that this act shall not be con strued to change existing law relating to the legal tender character or mode of redemption of the treasuty notes issued under said act of July 14, 1890. That a sufficient sum of money is hereby appropriated to carry into effect the provisions of this act. Surprising Figures. THE EXTENT OF ADVERTISING DONE BY THE LVDIA E. PINKHAM MEDICINE COMPANY. Some idea of the importance of the Lydia E. Tinkham Medicine Co., as a Lynn enterprise, may be estimated by the amount of advertising which is placed by them in the leading news papers of America. Advertising is in their line one of the surest gauges by which to judge the extent of their busi ness. The newspaper advertising of this famous concern is all placed througli the advertising agency of Pettingill & Co , Bos, on, and the writer recently learned while in their offices that eight tons of electrotypes were shipped by them to the newspapers in one day, all of which were advertisements of the Lydia E. Pi-ikham's Vegetable Com pound. Some idea of the extent of such ad vertising can be formed when one considers the fact that a -inch elect rotype weighs but a few ounces, and that eight tons consistj of 216,000 ounces, or an amount sufficient to furnish all the leading publications of America with more than five electro types each. As a Lynn enterprise the Pinkham Medicine Co. stands in the front rank. Lynn Item. The World Almanac It is an authority on all matters it contains. It contains a rare collection of figures and facts.

Hood A Co., Lowell, Mmm "During the winter of 1W7, 1 was Injured on one limb while coasting. It did not trouble me much nt first, but soon became more paluful, my strength began to decline and I could not rest at night. I was attended by several different doc tors but all (ailed to check the trouble and I grew rapidly worse. Early In 1800 I had to use crutclms and my health was very poor, having lost my appetite and being rod need In flesh. In the fall of 1881 I had to tako to my bed and It was Uioutiht I Would Not Live until spring. During all this time I had tried many different medicines but did get relief. In the meantime to give me relief, tho several bunches around my knee were lanced and later rery effort made to heat the running sores but all In vain. Then It was, while confined to my bed last spring, that my father, having read much about the merits of Hood's Sarsaparllla, FOOD'S Sarsaparilla CORES decided to have me give It a trial. 1 have taken It regularly, using neurly ten bottles. All the sores but two are healed and these are nearly well. I have thrown away my crutches as I can walk, 00 to school and do some work. I have s good appetite and real good health and have increased In weight very much. Hood's Barsaparllla has been a blessing to me." Wily Lxam JoiiNgow, Norniaiivlllu, l'eunsylvanla.
