XX Of the IVraoerat. 10ft had the support of the Farmers Alliance. In Alabama, ArkauaaMieonria, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi. Missouri, North Carolina, fcouth Carolina, Tenneiwee, Texas, and Virginia, the delegations are composed of Farmers' Alliance Democrat, although Mr. Mchherson records but eight distino t; : Alliance men. The members of that i y, fcowever, claim as high as twenty. . pre are but eight smta contested by i e Democrats in the next House, and t :.ese are p-nerally supposed to be iosti 4 -ted by the hot that w ith the larfe-e iemocnitic majority, Republican con ttwteea will be unseated on purely parti a.n grounds. There are two in New York, one in South Carolina, one in Ala bama, one in California and three in Pennsylvania. Trt war raging in the Democratic party between the Cleveland and Hill factions baa indueed the prudent men of that faith to cast aSout them for a more available Presidential candidate. Of course, be must te a Free-trader, and Col. William Morrison (Horizontal Mor rison) has the call at present Another requisite of the coming Democratic cam- did ate is that be must be in favor of the free coinage of silver. Mr. Cleveland pat his foot in it, as far as the West and South are concerned, by his hostility to this latUfday heresy, tiovernor Hill, bailing as he does from the great com mercial centre of the country, date not, if he would, give iu his adbecion to it, and hence the necessity of seeking for more available aandidate. The Demo cratic party has plenty tf uiea in its raoks who are willing to subscribe to almost any doctrine for the sake of the nomination ; but while the Eastern States have given away to the demand for fret trade, they will not swallow the demand for free silver, while the West and South are clamorous for both. To get a candi date who can straddle wide enough to cover the conflicting requirement of ti e different sections is the raging question of the hour. The Alliance men, who are the natural allies of the Democracy and upon whom tbey must mainly rely for success, are rabid on the question of free silver. Tbey naturally, and rightfully, niispect any one hailing from the Eastern and commercial States, and hence w ill liersistently insist upon a Western msn. Morrison is understood to possess all tie necessary requisites they demand in candidate, and hence his star is begin ning to leotu above the horizon. A fter one of the longest contests in the history of American legislation, tl e venerable John M. Palmer was last wetk elected United Sutee Senator from tl e rotate of Illinois. Some years ago Palmer was a Repub lican ; now he is a Democrat, with ail that the term implies. He is a gentle man of intelligence, but in his eagernefs to secure the position he surrendered body and soul to the Farmers' Alliance, a.id has shown himself to te the veriest demagogue. On the eve of his election lie thus placed himself npoo the record : 4J. Are you in favor of the altolition of the national bank circulation ? A. Yes. Q. You U-lieve tLat all maney should le ixsued and coined by the government and all circulation controlled by the gov ernment? A. Yes. As I have stated during the canvass, and perhaps t) you before, I at one time entertained the iew that the power of the government to coin money was derived from the Con stitution and was limited to the mere conversion of the precious metals into coin ; but that in the progress of time the sablic mind had reached a point that the government was furnishing that m bicn served all the purposes of inoctr. I think I atated that in 1874. I took the ground that the government should fur ninh all that was to be created as money for public jKirjuxca. Commenting on these declarations of, the new Senator from the great industrial nl roHimercial State of Illinois, the Jiet York Vrtf says : Iemocrats who are Iemocrats in their mtitftitutional principles and Democrats who are Democrats to catch votes are very different persons. The former kind of Democrat knows that the it-ue of all money by the overautent, particularly if it is all to be paper money, is socialis tic aud paternal, and that the issue of taoney by the people, organized into voluntary associations under general laws, like the natioaal banking laws, is democratic and individualistic. It is enough that such issue of currency as the national banks have made for the last thirty years are aulject to govern ment supervision, insiection and guaran tee. This guarantee is an ewwntial ele ment la the sound ne of this currency, lut beyond this point the more freely the people can organize national banks tui4 tesue currency the better. National lnk notes, iu tact, are the best paper Money in the Worl I, because the good faith of the government guarantees their unduees, while the wide distribution tf the sources of issue is the very thing needed to insure supply where there is demand, and in a direct ratio to the de mand, since banking capital bears such ratio to the business done and Uac money wanted in a community. Tlnio quality, quantity and elasticity or perfect iistribntion are provided for. eneral Painter, in beings Democrat ow riucip-fe, cares nothing foi the IVm-oiatk- principle of the national bank ing ay stem, or for the fact that it is the best nay to give ail the people all the money needed for husinetw parposes. He denerted the Republican party in 1S7 liecause he thought the ' Liberal" erase would sweep the country, and now he ngaia disregards sound principles because of a popular craze ilu m hicb he expects to aee the country swept. We beheve be will blunder now as he did then, for yoa can't fool all the people all lie time." And if such an unreliable dema ircfue must go into the Senate, to bend the neck to every crazy breeze, we would rather he mere a Democrat than a lie Itublican, for an open foe to sound eco nomic principle is less dangerous ene , uiy than trusted deceiver. i I JUDGE LYNCH Holds Court tn Naw Oi leans. New Oa'-tvi. March H. J'idge Lynch held Court llii nmrning. The city b wild with excitement, and bow it will end no one can tell. T'te trial of the nine Sici'.ifcns, charged with the murder ofCiiief Henoewy closed yesterday afieruo'jn, when the Jury brought in a verdict I not guilty as to six of the ae eased, and failing to agree upon a verdict as to the other three. Tue verdict created much Indication, and the feeling increase! in bitieroen untit a late hour last night, when It was decided to hold ists meeting this rooming at tbe Clar statu, to take step to rem Jy the fcilareof justioe in ths eass. A call was with the words: "Corns nreoared lot action." la obedience to the call a large number of o-oDle assembled at the Cay statue, ana after several brief speeches had been made the weetinf adjiurned to the parish prison, which was soon surrounded by several thousand teoile in a state of wild excite ment. Nkw Oblis, JUrch H The scenes about the Clav statue tbis morning brought to mind forcibly and violently the peculiar and ominous uprising of that gepteuber day 16 rears ago. Ten o'clock had not yet struck, and a vast multitude wa already congregated on Canal street, almost filling up the lar-e spao from curb to cu-b on each side of the Boulevard Just on the stroke of 10 o'clock a shout rwituo from the people sta'ioaed at tue corner ot est. cuarirasinv, ee-itlemen. among whom were Mr. W. t Parkewon, Mr John C W icklifte. and otneis who i.i?hned the ca 1, cam msrching along j and beran walking around ths range of the Clav monument. "Fall in ! Fall in !" was the cry from the crowd which forrmd and went around the railing several times. "Hurrah for Tarkcr son! " Hurrah for Wickliffr!" 'Oct in side the railing and give us a speech." Tuese and other cries made up a conluiion of noises among which tbe angry toDe was significantly predominanL Space inside the railing was occupied by adnse crowd. "Come doaq from those steos," was the requert "and let Mr. Park rson and Mr. WicklifT get there." Tbs crjwd obeyed with alacrity and soon the S -eskers held their position of vantage. A ro-(h was made for the narrow gate, and in a ruinnte there stood a packed mass of bu rn inity sround the statue f the immortal Clay. The view from the altitude was ira p ing. -tot a bad word escaped the lips of tlie gentlemen who had mounted tbf steps. Tney stood, motionless, surveying the sm-g-io multitude from whose ranks there gleamed faces full of resolve and delermins tion. There were fully 3,ou) people within earshot, and more could be seen struggling pushing and running here and thereon neu tral ground. Street cars were unable to pas through, and carriages, cab, carts, wagons and vehicles ot sll descriptions were halted. Mr. Parker-Mm np ke first. He said that once before he had appeared before t he people in grand mass meeting assembled to discuss msrt rs of vital interest uj u omiuiuunj, and again he faces the people of New Or leans to denounce the infamous act which was cotiiwquetit upon the most revolting crirus iu the crimiual annals ol any commu oity. That act was the finding of the jury in the murder trial yesterday, snd thalcrime was, as everybody knows, the foul aasassiu aiiotilof Chief Hen necpy." I desire neither fame nor name, nor glory," said Mr, Park eion. "1 am a plain American citizen, and as a srxd citizen I address you to day." After the speeches tbe indignsnt crowd, numbering shout 2,, started for the Par ish Prison, which tbey reach at 10.) o'clock. After slight riMa-ice, the jil was surround ed, the citizens ruslied in acid killed SI of the lit men who had been indicted tor the assassination ot Chief Henness.v, as follows : Manuel l'olietz, Pieiro Monastro.

Tbe intention is to adjourn i'"t' to night, but the two Houses are far apart on appropriation bills and ad Joumment will probably not be bad until to-morrow. The work ol the L-gialature has been a distinct disapp liniment to the Farmers' Alliance. Tney came to Topeks intending to inetiliue sll sorts f reforms, and they return to their constituents with out haviug aooomplishel any of them, or at least any of the radical ones. The following mea-Mires championed by the Farmers' Alii ant failed to become laws, having- received their quietus in the Menate: Ttie bill to reduce railway fare to 2 cents per mile ; the minimum r.ilwsy freight bill ; the mortgage bond snd security tax bill ; tbe waiver of appraisement bill, and lbs bill seducing the salaries of county sod Slate officers. Accusad of Murder. Nzw C4STI.C, Pv, March 11 Ha Klder is in jail charged with the murder of ber step mothr, Mrs. Levi Hepman, in Wampoin in July, !-9. She was arrested in that place about 7 o'c'.ock this evening upon informa tion of County Detective Msrsbsll, just as be stfiped f t'je Lake Erie train on its arrival from Pittsburgh. She bad veen visit ing in Rochester. Tne murder U is alleged, was committed by administering a poison, commonly called Rough on Rats, during a slight illness of the victim. Ida Eider is the wife of Arthur Elder, a lo comotive engineer, to whom she was msr ried in and who deserted ber eight months Iaier. She is a handsome woman, 22 years old, and has always made her bome with her father. When called upon by a correspondent at tbe county jail lo-night she was apparently indifferent to the serious charge, but a'jsolutely refused to talk.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS CH IN COUN Abstract of Proceeaines ot Dteao- tors Convention hid at Somer set, Tu-dty snd Wednesday, March lOth and 11th. About fifty School Directors, representing twenty four of the thirty eight districts in the county, gsthered In ths Court Hon Tuesdsy forenoon, to carry out the program previously anneonot-d ,, in iheHiSAto. Col. E. D. Yuuy, tbs retiring president, lled ths meeting to order and an organization was eff"Cted by the election ot I. 9. 9. Good, of Meyersdale, as rresiuem. and Dr. H. 8. Kiaimei:, of rlonsrset, as Sec retary of the convention. After ths calling of the roll with the result as above stated, and some general remarks by the president ms to tbe objcts of the meeting, the conven tion adjourned to 1:30 P. M. The afternoon session opened promptly on time and oroved a very interesting one. The main topic of discussion, and tbe one for which the convention was chiefly called, wss the -Text Book Q-iestion." Dr. Good explained the plan and the advantages of a ,nt nniformitv of text books and sbow ed the degree of success slresdy attained in ibis direction. Accirdiiw to this statement ninety eight (!R) changes in text books were msde in the county daring the Isst three years, snd all but ten (10) of these were in h. rraonv with the series recommended oy . k.1t xnmmittre three years sgo. These rh.ti.ei affected but thirty five (35) schools in the aggregate in the entire county. There is now almost a complete uniformity in ma tr Phvsiolocv. Grammar and Arithmetic Oeogrspby is largely uniform and Reading and Spelling but partially so. The plsn nss been substsntially endorsed and should be continued. M. J. Pritrs. Esq., of Somerset, discussed "Stste Uniformity and Control of Text Books." He advocated the enactment of a law that would provids for tbe publication ,.r t.ii-hooks bv the Stste sod furnish tnem t he on nils at actual oist. Hs showed from statistics that sch iol books cost the ltn.cs of schools too much, and that many of them can not aflord to psy for the neces aarr booksand consequently the school work is crippled. He admitted the comparative failure of the plan as tried by California, but thought it might bs much more success ful in other states. Daniel Holsopp'e. of Paint district, alvo rated "Free Text Books." He showed that r u.i.. an essential feature of i 1 free schools, s-id tbst it is quits as proper for a board of directors to purchase all the books needed by the schools from ths district funds ss O buy furniture or sppsratus in this way. He clsimed tbst it gives greater eftlHencT and eSTectiveness to lbs school work when the leachet can plaos into tbs bands of each nnpil Jnst tbe books be needs, and that it gives to the teacher the right that he should alwsys have, tbst of grading and classifying the schinl sconrdins to his own best judgement. He further state that his bosrd. (Pamt ) bought Spellers. Headers snd Arithmetics last fall, and that not a citizen. i..... ... t h vet found fault with this advanced step. The bosrd expects to sup ply all the looks fre as soon ss practicable. Bsving the books direct, the hoard nss got ten s special discount from wholesale rales and has already saved more thsn sixty dot Urs to their distrsct. Some of thir books cost less than half of the usual retail prices. After this three sided discussion, s general discussion followed. Deputy State 8upt Henry Houck being present, spoke briefly He strongly advocated free text-books as tbe best solution of the "Text Book question and while be did not think State uniformity and control was desirable, or even practica ble, he considered county unif runty help ful until the district would make the books free. The eastern oountus already have free books and there is not a single case on rec ord where sny district ever repudiated free text books after having once started the sys tem. Farther diacoslon Isrgelv in favor of free books by Rev. Bach, of Rxkwood; 8. C. Ilarkley, of Meyersdale; Dr. Kuhlman, of l"r.-ins; I). Compton, of Klk L-Ick J W. P. Hsy, of JeriVrsuii ; Adams). Miller, of Lin coin ; Supt Herkey, Rev. J L, W. Seibert and Val Hsy, K-q., and others. Messes. Hsy, Bach snd rieitiert advocated State uui fortuity. After a full and free discussion of nearly two hours, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Hifohti, That it is the sens of this con vention thsl text-books for the common schools should be purchased by the boards of directors sad famished to the pupils ftee. Jir-Jixul, Thst we favor a coumy uuifi r n ty of text-books so far as it spplies to dis tricts not supplying books free. Afier this seemingly satisfactory conclu sion of the text-book discussion, Hon. J. C. Weller. Member of the Committee on Edu cation, H. R.. was introdaced and gave a full outline of the large number of educa tional bills now pending before the State legialature. There are several bills on State uniformity, publication or control of text books, one on compulsory attendance for children (rom 7 to 12, one on district super vision, one to provide sn office for tbecoun ty superintendent al tbe county seat, one to compensate directors for atiesding the tri ennial cuuyeijtion to elcj a county superin tendent, also to psy expenses for attending and holdiug sn sunual convention in each county, one to pruvide for a state conven of directors, one, (iniroduoed by Mr. Wel ler,) to provide for the distribution of the State appropriation iu proportion to the number of pupils in the schools instead of the number of taxshles. Mr. 'Weller read some of tbe bills snd explsined others st length. Tbe following resolutions were sub seipiently adopted as expressing the sense of the convention upon a fern" of the bills pre sented. RrvJttd, Tbst we favor the ensctroent of a lsw that will provide for a county conven tion of directors at least once a year, and thst will make sdequate provision for the payment of the actual expenses incurred by directors in attending such a convention. Heihed, That we approve the bills now before the Legislature which prqvjdes for the distribution o tbe State appropriation upon ths basis of ths number of pupils in the common schools. This would give Som erset county a much larger appropriation than is realized under the present apportion mentIt is, however, proportionately un favorable to the cities and large towns. .Vmi, That we endorse the bill now perilling before the Legislature which pro vides for eastern of local supervision for the common tjbools. Tbis bill provides for a district superin tendent who shall have charge of not less than twenty nor more than seventy-five schools. Such local supervision by an era cieut officer would doubtless be a great help and stimulus to tbe schools of rural districts, tbe bill as drawn, however, leaves it option al with directors to employ such a distrkt superintendent. JUflvfl, Thst it is the sense of this con vention thst tbe eHat appropriation to the common schools should he increased at least one million dollars ( .OH0,uo0) above what is now provided, and that such increase should be applied largely to the- improve ment of the schools by way of purchasing free text -books, apparatus, etc. One of tbe most important f.-atnres of the afternoon session was tbe adoption of a plan to form a erinanent Directors' Associa tion of tsiraerst County. " It was decided to hold at least one meeting of the Assoceation each year, and a committee consisting of Rev. Then. Bacb, Dr. f. 8. uhlrnan and 8. C. Hark ley, was appointed to prepare rules snd by laws for the regulation of the Association, and to report at the next regu lar meeting, it wss further ordered that the officers of tbe convention with the County Snrintendent, shall constitute a standing executive committee to arrange for ths 'next meeting, when tbe Association shall enter upon its work as a distinct, or ganized snd permanent body, the member ship to consist at all times of tbe directors in otilce a-id the directors elect. Tbis action by tbe convention was a most important step, and on that cannot but provd of great benefit to the schools of ths county. No educational ageDcy promises bet ter things for the cause of popular educa- ! tion than a well rgtilsted, well attended, County Directors' Association. Tbe evening sesskin was interestin and instructive to the large audience tbat gath- red at 7:30. Among tbe Matures were sn able paper on " The Good Points of a Coun try School House, " by D. Corop on, of Llk- Li'k, an elouuent address on "The Mutual Helpfulness of Directors, Teacsicrs aid Patrous," by Kev. Bach, of stock wood, and a most belpful and inspiring talk by Deputy Superintendent Houck. who, by tbs way, hss lost none of his remarkable power to move an audience in bumor or pathos. Tn many bojs and girls to whom and for whom U spoke will nut soon forget this happy and belpful address. Tbe pupils of tbe Somerset school de serve special mention for the excellent mu sic rendered for tbe evening session, and as will b seen by the resolutions adopted Ister the directors did not forget tbem. Several of tbera rendered recitations in a very cred itable manner. Tb Wedneadty morning session was a short one, owing to tb fact that many of tbs directors desired t leave on the early trains. Tn committee on resolutions con sisting of M. J. Pritts, E-q , E. D. Yutzy, sn J D. Compton reported for final adoption tbe resolutions already stated in this report and in addition the following : Rrtulivl, Tbat we tender our sincere thanks to Deputy Stste Supt. Henry Houck, for bis interesting addresses and valuable aid given u- in this convention. RetolteJ, Tbat we thank tbe teachers and pupils of the Somerset schools for the music sud recitations so kindly furnished and which added greatly to our evening session. Wifl, Tbat w recognize the Interest and seal manifested by our County Superin tendent, J. M. Berkey, in arranging for this convention, which we believe will prove of great good lo the educational interests of the county. In harmony with the discussion upon county uniformity of text books, the con vention elected a committee of five directors, wbo with the County Superintendent aud five teachers, shall constitute a text book committee for tb next three year. It was ordered that tbe teachers shall be selected by tbe County Supt. wbo with them shall be only advisory me tubers of It committee. The following constitute tbe committee of directors : Dr. S. S. Good, of Meyersdale; I. 8. Sny der, of Middle Creek ; Dr. C. P. Lenhart, of Jenner; D. Campion, of Elk lick ; J. J. Darr, of Lincoln. Tbe County Superintendent wss elected ex-ofticio chairman of the joint committee. It is presumed that be will select five teach ers of experience and ability wbo are most likely to know ths merits of the text books snd tbe needs of the schools. The commit tee will probably meet some time in May of this year. ISitl. It as a good and helpful meeting and bad two hundred instead of fifty dirts tors been present, It would have been very much more potent ss a factor of educational progress in tbe county. But something has been done, a begining hss been made, and let 09 hope that hence forth "The Dirts-tors' Association of Somerset County " will grow in its influence aud power, until every dis trict and every school shall feel the imj-ettis and the helpfulness of its yearly meetings. Rxportxb. DR. HARTMAN ON CATARRH. Ths Fallacy of Catarrh Cures. The fatal mistake which so many physi cians, of all schools, mske in tbe treatment of catarrh is that it is regarded as a local disease snd not a systematic disease. If the patient has catarrh of the nose or throat, sprays and gargles sre used ; if the catarrh is in the larynx or bronchial tubes, inhalenis are used ; if the catarrh is in the stomach, medicine is swallowed ; if tbe catarrh is in the bladder or urethra, injections sre resort ed to ; hoping in eaub pase to cure tbis dis ease by spplying the medicine to the exact spot where the disease Is located. While it is a foot that sprays, inhalents, gsrgles and injections are often helpful in the treatment of a case of ca'arrh, they can never accomplish a cure. Catarrh is a dis ease of the system, wbich manifests itself in some mucous membrane, oftenest of i lie nose, throat, bronchial tubes or lungs, but frequently of the stomach and bowels, and again of tbe urinary and sexual organs. A persistent use of Peruna according to the directions on the bottle will remove the catarrhal taint from the system, sfter which the diseased part, wherever located, will soon recover. Tat this is the correct theory of the treatment pf catarrh is atnply proven by the multitude of testimonials that are con-. stantly pouring in front all parts of the country, Catarrh in all stages and varieties, oolds, coughs, bronchitis, la grippe, catarrhal dys pepeia, all yield, surely and permanently, to the curative virtues of Peruna. John B Risley, of Merrimac, Wis., writes July 2, 189 : "I received in Iiecember last one of Dr. Hartman's 'Treatise on Catarrh.' and after a cartful perusal of it I concluded to give bis remedy a trial, as I was afflicted with nasal catarrh. I did so, and gained eleven pounds in weight the first month, with, a steady increase in health and vigi r tbat has been permanent so far, with but very little symptom of catarrh left. H's remedies are the qnly ones have ever found able to give nie any relief." The following case need BO poraruent. save that ta;h one was cured by taking Pt runs simply, without any local trealuittil whatever: Fust. Mich..

I have found great benefit myself in kidney trouble, and thiuk' a bottle or two more will set me all right. Rsv. J. C. Kf iiul Sulphur Spbikos, Trx., Feb. 18, Islil.

Uartman, Columbus, O D ar Sir: My wile having suffered for twelve months with wbst the bet medical sail! in the country called "Bronchitis," and, find ing no relief, I purchased two bottles of Pe runa, and now sb is nearly cured.

I had tried three of our best physicians, but failed to get asy relief. I have taken five bottles of Peruna in con Beet ion with Man a lin, and feel entirely well, but intend to kecj taking it forswhije. I know that Peruna has saved my life. Mrs. Dict A. Lbwis: Itis needless tosttempt to give only tie vsguest outline of ths wonderful taccos which Peruna hss met with in the cure "of catarrh. This success is entirely due to the tact tbat Peruna eradicates the disease from thesysteni, instead of temporarily relieving some disagreeable symptom.
