EDITORIAL fIENTION.
Massachusetts Democrats have
placed Richard Olney squarely in
the field for tho presidential nomi
nation. And he must bear the
toad of the Cleveland administra
tion too. \
Ex-Congressman Driggs traded
his "influence" for 812,000 and
one day in. jail The judge who
fientenced him expressed his deep
sympathy for the distinguished
prisoner.
Herbert W. Bowen, U. S. Min
ister to Veuezula, has gone back to
his post after a year's absence,
carrying with him the appreval of
his country for excellent services
rendered.
Mrs. L'mgstreet explains and
oomplauH tint the bitter hostility
of which the late General Long
atrerit litis been for thirty years the
objoiib had its clause in the fact
that he accepted the logic of Con
fii I;r ite defeat an I vote I the Re
publican ticket.
In closing out an estate in l'hil-i
aulelphia the other day 400 shares
of stock in certain companies which
hill a market value of over $3,000
at the height of the boom, brought
thirty-five cents. Seven hundred
shares in another company, at one
time quoted as worth $2,100,
brongat sl.lO. Those who are
wandering how we shall get rid of
trusts inly save their anxious
breath and their virtuous perspir
ation. Trusts seem to have a
knack of getting rid of themselves.
William J. Bryan, who arrived
home Saturday on the Celtic, ob
jects to hodliug the Democratic
national convention in New York
or anywhere in ''the enemy's
country." Enjoyed his journey
hugely. Was enthusiastically re
ceived In Europe by the Czar, the
Pope, King Edward, President
Ijoubet, Tolstoi, and the Crown
Princo of Denmark. lie talks as
If they put their arms around him
and called him their ' 'dear cousin.''
How many men aro there In the
United States who have achieved
distinction mainly bocause they
.< their ancestors' names?
.ere comes to mind Lincoln,
Arrant, Carter Harrison, Henry
George, William 11. Hearst, George
B. McClellan, Oliver Wendell
Holiaes, William Lloyd Garrison,
Cornelius Vanderbilt, and many
more. They have not demonstrat
ed George William Curtis's apoth
egm that it is unfortunate to in
herit a great name.
The Gorman scheme to cripple
the Republican party of Maryland
by disfranchising the negroes of
that state seems to be constructed
in the shape of a boomerang. It
is modeled after the law popular in
North Carolina and Mississippi by
whose "grandfather" clause illiter
ate and penniless whites are given
the ballot while it is refused to the
same class of blacks. Such a dis
crimination is so shocking to the
people of the north of all parties
that, should Mr. Gorman realize
his ambition and be nominated for
the presidency, it will deprive him
of some tens of thousands of votes
of reasonable Democrats.
Case Will Come up This Month.
The case of Mrs. Sarah 11. Costello,
of Buffalo, will be tried in the Criminal
term of the Supreme Court this month
on the charge of shooting with intent
to kill her husband, John H Costello,
the well-known lumber and oil million
aire. Her husband will be the chief
witness against her. The indictment
against Mrs. Costello charger her with
assult in the flrst degree in attacking
her husbaud in his office last May.
She fired a revolver at him and wound
ed him. They are both well-known to
many Potter county citizens, and the
outcome of this trial will be watched
by them with much interest, —Couders-
pert Democrat.
A Newspaper Worth Reading.
The Pittsburg Times is a conserva
tive, careful newspaper for particular
people. Its statements of facts and
comments on them are concise and cor
rect. Its departments aro in charge of
experts, and its authority in all matters
pertaining to the events oi the world
at large and of the community it rep
resents more particularly is recognized.
It has no Sunday edition, and its posi
tion in that regard in Pittsburg, is as
unique a3 its thorough reliability in
every way* Staunchly Republican in
politcal policy it yet gives all the news
of all parties. Its moral tone is high,
and churchmen of overy creed find in
its columns more new® of their inter
ests and work than in all its contemp
oraries combined. Sports are given
the prominence they deserve and no
more. The news concerning them is
bright, timely and adequate, for the
work is done by a master.
in The Times as in no other paper have
the truth told about them and the
plays they offar. No business consider
ations ever interfere with the publica
tion of criticisms that really criticise,
amd'in this department, too, the work
is done by a master. Society and the
affairs of woman find careful and com
plete exposition on the page devoted
to them. Industrial matters are ac
corded the prominence they merit in a
Pittsburg paper, while the stock
markat is given the attention that has
brought The Times into the front rank
of financial authorities. Above all The
Times is a model not only of brevity of
statement but of dignified simplicity in
its typographical appearance. It of
fends neither the eye nor tho sensibili
ties. Th 8a things that aro of import
ance are treated accordingly. Those
that are unimportant are handled in
koeping with their value. Each is-.ue
of The Times is a day's history of
events the wide world round. Its price
is ono cent daily or §3 a year. 48-3t.

Saved From Terrible Death.
The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt, of I
Hargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and

her. It's the most certain cure in the

Ave., Kansas City, Mo., has for several
years beeu troubled with severe hoarseness

no noticeable results. A friend gave me
part of a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy with instructions to closely fol
low the directions and I wish to state
that after the first 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 I realize that I
am entirely cured.'' This remedy is for
sale by L. Taggart.
