EDITORIAL nENTION.
The "grand rally" of the leading
Democrats around Tammany and
McClellan in New York on Mon
day evening seems to have been
for the purpose of carrying New
York for their candidate. "Let
as carry New York, Connecticut,
and New Jersey and our candidate
goes to the White House," said
one of them. This prophecy shows
that they are unsound in mathe
matics as in polities. If the demo
crats shall carry the solid South
and New York, New Jersey, and
Connecticut besides, he would still
Be a good ways from winning.
The number of votes required in
the electoral college for success is
one more than half of the whole—
that is, 234. The South may be
counted for 150 votes; New Y'ork
will have.lit, Connecticut 7, and
New Jersey 12—total, 58, which
with the south make 208 votes al
together. Any partisan revolution
which would give those three
states to the.Democrats would very
likely give them also Delaware
and Maryland, with their 11 votes,
making 219 votes lor the Demo
cratic candidate—ls votes short of
the number required. If it even
gave him West Virginia, with her
7 votes, he would still lie, behind,
and must carry some large West
ern state in order to succeed.
Have the Democrats a man in
their party who can win all those
states? There may be blind par
tisans who think so, but the ides
of November will undeceive them.
General Reyes, the Colombian
minister ai Washington, is piping
his protest more feebly. He still
remonstrates, but he says that Col
ombia can save her wounded
honor with greenbacks; that if she
cannot have Panama as part of her
territory, she ought to be paid
damages for the injury inflicted
and submits the case to the arbi
tration of the Hague court. If it
is true that ho shows this amiable
disposition, amenable to the de
crees of fate, Congress may restore
peace and harmony by a reason
able appropriation.
The mileage scandal, in which
both parties are equally involved,
comes up again in a humiliating
shape. The regular session of
Congress followed the extra ses
sion so closely that there was but a
few minutes intermission, yet the
members with few exceptions,drew
the entire mileage of twenty cents
a mile for journeys that were
never made. Ordinary travel,
costs about two cents a mile by
rail. But not only have Congress
men drawn pay for journeys never
made in whole or in part, but they
have very generally traveled on
passes issued to them by railroads,
concerning which they are often
called upon to legislate. This is a
national disgrace and a national
grief, and that it is high time that
a crusade was begun similar in
fervency to that against the frank
ing abuses and Credit Mobilier
which sent so many statesmen in
to oblivion.

SWEET FERN.
The Burglar, Tuesday, Jan. i 9.
The third act of the play is the dram
itizatioa of Mrs. Francis Hodgeson
Burnett's story of "Editha's Burglar,"
which was in vogue about the same
time with "Little Lord Fttuntelroy'"
and has for its centre of iaterest a pre
cocious and quaint little girl, as the
other has a quaint little boy. The play
is full of dramatic situations, with
enough humourous by-play to relieve
the tension, and it grows in interest
from start to finish, although it is
simple in its plot and in its business.
Prices 25, 35, 50 and 75.

j Saved From Terrible Death.
The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt, of
Burgerton, Teun., saw her and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was slow
ly but surely taking her life. In this
terrible hour Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption turned despair into joy.
The lirst bottle brought immediate relief
and its continued use completely cured
her. It's the most certain cure in the
world for all throat and lung troubles.
Guarantee Bottles 50c and 81.00. Trial

A Very Close Call.
' I stuck to my engine although every
joint ached and every nerve was racked
with pain," writes C. W. Bellamy, a lo
comotive fireman, of Burlington, lowa.
"I was weak and pale, without any ap
petite and all run down. As I was about
to give up. I got a bottle of Electric Bit
ters, and alter takinz it, I felt as well as
I ever did in my life." Weak, sickly.
' run down people always gain new life,
strength and vigor from their use. Try
tkem. Satisfaction guaranteed by L.
Taggart. Price 50 cents.
Few women walk gracefull enough to
risk a scant skirt.
Mr. Wtn S. Crane, of California. Md.,
suffered for years from rheumatism and
lumbago. He was lid ally advised to try
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which lie did
and it effected a complete cure. For
sale by L. Taggart.
And now it is said pompadours are to
be broad and low again.
A Prisioner In Her Own House.
.Mrs W. 11. Layha, of 1001 Agnes
Ave., Kannas City, Mo., lias for several
, years been troubled with severe hoarseness
and at times a hard cough, which sin-
Mays, -'Would keep me in doors lor days.
I was prescribed for by physicians with
no noticeable results. A friend gave mo
part of a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Ileinedy with instructions to closely fol
low the directions and 1 wish to state
that after the lir.>t day I could notice a
decided change for the better, and at this
time after using it for two weeks, have
' no hesitation in saying 1 realize that I
am entirely cured.'' This remedy is for
sale by L. Taggart.

! Wonderful Nerve.
Is displayed by many a man enduring
pains of accidental Cuts, Wounds,
Bruises, Burns, Scalds, Sore feet or still
joints, But there's no need for it. Buck

cure the trouble. It is the best Salve on
earth for Piles, too. 25c, at L. Taggart's,
