DISEASES OF THE KIDfJEYS
are the most prevalent, dangerous and fatal af
fections that afflict mankind, and so varied and
insiduons in their character, that persons often
suffer for a long time before knowing what ails
them. The most characteristic symptoms are
gradual wasting awav of the whole body; pain in
the back, side or loins: a week, feeble, exhaust
ed feeling; loss of appetite and dread of exer
cise; ecantv and painful discharge of variously
colored urine; inability to retain or expel tho
urine; minute shreds or casts in the urine; and.
when the disease is of long duration, there is
much emaciation and geueral nervous prostra
tion.

We say positively, and without fear of contra
diction that DAY'S KIDNEY PAD is the first

THE QUESTION.
The question of the election, we are
told, is, which of the two parties is
more likely to govern the country
wisely and well; and again, whether
the present prosperous and contented
public situation will be more disturbed
or more surely maintained by a change
of administration. This is substanti
ally the question of the campaign. It
is with this debate that the country
rings. All the gentlemen who are an
nounced in the papers to speak every
day and every night, upon one side or
the other, are speaking upon this ques
! tion. Mr. Evarts, at the Cooper Ins
titute, brilliantly shows that a change
would be unwise from every point of
view. Mr. Seymour, at Chickeriug
Hall, argues that such a change is
most desirable. This, indeed, is al
ways the question of a Presidential
campaign ; and the necessary point of
departure of tlie debate is the princi
ples, professions, history and character
of the parties. How, indeed, can we
tell whether a ship is likely to carry
us safely, until we have investigated
ship and crew ? and how absurd it
would be if we were told, when we wish
ed to look into the bole, that we ought
not to do that, because it would l>e
sure to excite unpleasant feeling. Yet
that is precisely the manner in which
Republicans are accosted when they
propose to consider what the antece
dents and spirit and tejdencv of the
Democratic party are. The one great
glaring fact in the history and present
situation of that party is that it it is a
Southern party. Deduct "the South,"
and the Democratic party practically
disappears. Yet to inquire into this
fact, to try to ascertain what it means
and what it promises, is declared to be
a kind of jvickedness, proving a bad
heart, and showing a ferocious disposi
tion to alienate brethren, and foster a
hate sectionalism.
This is exceedingly droll. Mr.
Wade Hampton, for instance, comes
into the state of New York. He de
nounces the extravagance, the corrup
tion, the centralization, of the Republi
can party. He complains of its dis
trust and hostility toward his own
part of the country, and insists that
its present administration was born of
fraud, and that it is, in a word, the
enemy of the peace, prosperity, and
progress of the country. Heathen as
serts that his own region has heartily
acquiesced in the results of the un
pleasntness, that it cheerfully recog
nizes the changed conditions of affairs,
and the equality of all citizens; that
it is overflowing with brotherly love
and good-will to man, especially the
colored man, and that the only serpent
in the paradise is that monster, com
pact of every crime, the Republican
party. But if in the same State Mr.
Evarts, or Mr. Depew, or any other
eminent Republican, proposes to look
into the nature of this hearty acquies
cence, and at this overflow of brotherly
affection for everybody, especially the
colored voter, and to ask whether a
free vote and a fair count are to be se
cured by Mr. Hampton and his friends
and if, still prosecuting these perfectly
legitimate inquiries, he proceeds to ask
what is this party of Mr. Hampton's
what has it done, what views has it
held, and how, and why, with its his
tory akd character and spirit, it is
more likely to administer the govern
ment more wisely for all citizens and
all interests that the Republican party,
he is assailed by Mr. Hampton's party
process and fellow-orators as thirsting
for blood, and rekinling old embers of
strife, and preaching the devil's gospel
of brotherly hate. And while this is
the fate of Mr. Evarts and Mr. Depew
and their Republican associates in
New York, if a Republican club holds
a meeting in Mr. Hampton's one State,
the Democratic Rifle Clubs and Red
Shirts and Regulators of every kind
shut up their shops, attend the meet
ing armed, and insist upon sharing
the time with the speakers or silencing
them altogether.
Bdt if in one part of the country to |
inquire what the Democratic party has
done, in order to determine what it
probably will do, is wicked section
alism, and in another part not to be a
Democrat is to be silenced by hook or
by crook, how is the debate to pro
ceed ? It is apparently proper, in the
estimation of Democratic journals, for
Democrats to show what Republicans
have done, but it is something in the
nature of a crime for Republicans to
show what Democrats have done. It
is perfectly legitimate, by Democratic
Standards, to hold Republicans respon
sible for the Whiskey Ring four years
ago, but altogether devilish to hold the
Democrats responsible for the mas
sacre and murder and harrying of
colored votes at the same time, and for
the systematic and organized cheating
of the tissue ballots. In a word, una
ble to deny the flagrant crimes intend
ed to seize the government by force
and fraud at the polls, the Democrats
try to distract the public eye and mind
by insisting that it is unbrotherly to
allude to the crimes, while apparently
it is not to be thought wrong and
wicked and bloody and sectional and
unfraternal to commit them. For the
crimes themselves not a Democratic
orator or paper has a word of condem
nation. But they unite in decrying as
stirrers up of fraternal strife and assas
sins of union those who expose them,
and who warn the country against the
domination of a party which seeks
power by such means. The Demo
crats would prefer speculations about
finance and the tariff; but the one nat
ural, logical, inevitable question of the
campaign, namely, does the Demo
cratic party show by what it did when
it had the national power, and by
what it does where it has the local
power to-day, that it would probably
adopt a wiser financial policy, more
surely protect the equal rights of all
citizens, and more certainly promote
administrative reform ? this is the
question which they declare no true
lover of his country can ask, while, in
fact, no true lover of his country would
ask any other.

cessful lawyer. She is too fond of
giving her own opinion without

SCIENCE IN FLOUR MANU'
FACTURE.
L'ntil recentlv it was believed that
the only thing to be sought for in the
production of a good article of flour
was a more or less fine disintegration
of the kernels of wheat. As long as
millers held to the theory that grind
ing was all that was required, a large
percentaare of the flour had its nutri
tive powers greatly reduced by beinj;
ground to an impalpable dust. Science,
by aid of the microscope, has shown
that no really good bread can be made
from flour in which any large portion
of the starch globules have been tl ü
broken down. The rising of bread is
due to the starch globules which re
main whole, while the dust from the
disintegrated ones, by souring, impairs
the lightness and sweetness of the
loaf. It is but recently that these facts
have been made known to millers, and
since that time they have been dis
carding their old theories and machin
ery and devising improvements with
view of separating the starch globules,
rather than pulverizing them. Another
important advance in this industry con
sists of an improvement in bolting ma
chines. 17utii recently the bran was
separated from the flour by a powerful
air blast, which carries off the light
particles of bran. Considerable power
is required for this process, although
it is carried on in a close room, there
is not only a great waste of the finer
particles of flour, but the impalpable
dust penetrates every part of the mill
and often gives rise to destructive ex
plosions. By a recent invention, elec
tricity is made to take the place of the
air blast. Just over the wire bolting
cloth, which has a rapid reciprocal mo
tion, a number of hard rubber cylinders
are kept slowly revolving and rubbing
against strips of sheepskin, by which a
large amount of fractional electricity is
evolved. Then, as the middlings are
sieved by the reciprocal motion, the
lighter bran comes to the top, whence,
instead of being blown away hy an air
blast, it is attracted to the electrically
charged cylinders, as light substances
are attracted to a piece of paper, or a
stick of scaling wax which has been
smartly rubbed The removal of the
bran from the rollers, and its
on one side, are r eadily effected, white
the flour is carried in auother direction.
The separation is thus made complete,
with very little loss of dust. Still an
other device has been introduced, to
remove from the wheat, before being
ground, small pieces of iron, which,
despite the utmost care, will find their
way into the grain, working great in
jury to mill machinery. This trouble
is now remedied by the use of a se
ries of magnets, directly under which
all the grain is made to pass. These
magnets readily capture all the stray
pieces of iron from the wire bands used
in binding; and they have also revesl
ed the singular fact that, of the scraps
of iron and steel which find their way
into the grain, fully one-third are
something besides the binding wire.
They are of larger proportions, of vary
ing character, and much more hurtful
to the machinery than the wire. Thus
it is that science is constantly coming
to the aid all the varied industries,
lightening the labor of the workmen,
decreasing the costs of products, and
in every way improving all the various
processes which are involved in the
improved and constantly advances civ
ilization of the age. — The Weekly

THE SAGE OFMENTOR.
Oar field Talks to Fire Hundred Ger
mans.
CLEVELAND, October 18.—About 500
Germans of this city to-day visited
Gen. Garfield at Mentor, to whom the
General, on being formally presented,
said :
I am very glad to see you here and
to receive th" words of welcome and
earnest patriotism that your chairman
has spoken. I have caught some of the
inspiration of his thought, though not
all, but enough of it to make me know
the heartiness of your greeting and to
be able to thank you for it from a full
and cordial heart. You have an advan
tage over us in one thing, at least
You conic here with all the precious
memories of the old fatherland, but you
lave come here to share with us the
glories and the hopes of this New
World, which is our immediate father
land.
Your chairman has lieeu pleased to
refer to a remark 1 ouce made wben
speaking of the death of an eminent
German, that it was a mistake in one
sense to eall him a foreigner, because,
as I said, all the English-speaking peo
ple, especially the English people from
whom we came, drew their old tradi
tions from, and found their first father
land in, the forests of Germany ; and it
wus so when 2,000 years ago that
body of travelers and bold pioneers
crossed the German Ocean to aid in a
struggle on the Island of Britain.
When, ruddy and strong and yellow
haired, the blue-eyed Saxons came,
they planted the principles of Teutonic
liberty in England, and an old writer
of centuries ago said that the constitu
tion of Great Britain came from the
woods of Germany. Our branch of the
family is the ea Tier branch, the elder
brethren. You have come later to join
us—the younger sons of modern Ger
many, to meet your old brethern in
this new world, because you love the
larger liberties and the larger opportu
nities and the greater aspirations that
this new continent has opened up to
us all. Not many generations ago our
fathers were foreigners.
From the Teutonic races, from the
Latin, from all the races of Europe,
the best elements come, and mingling
here like any other alloy of metals, it
makes a stronger result than any one
of the parts alone. We are better for
the mixture. Your cl a'rman has quot
ed a line from your gaeat poet 11 erne v,
in which he said that to go into a for
eign land there could be ro worse
thing than to be a German. Much as 1
respect your poet, I think he startled
the foreign world. It may have been
true of other countries in Europe. It
was never true on the continent of
America.
' You represent in your fatherland
I old and remarkable tradition?, and I
know your own hearts have been
[ stirred by an event that occurred only
a few days ago on your own Rhine,
when that magnificent cathedral of
Cologne, which has been 000 years a
building, the scaffolds hardly down for
a day, was just brought to its final
completion and dedicated to peace. It
had lived through all reigns and
through all wars, to be dedicated at
last bv Kaiser William to peace and
the glorious memories of Germany.
That is a wonderful thing for you to
have a share in ; but I trust, fellow-cit
izens, thnt you have come here to help
us build a grander temple, not a Gothic
building made from the quarries of the
Rhine, but made out of the hearts and
lives and aspirations and hopes of all
the people who have come into this
country to make it their home, and to
build here institutions that shall not,
I trust, be finished in fiOO years from
to-day, but shall go on, the grand
structure always rising, the foundation
always deepening, and the dome al
ways high and always free for all peo
ple who come here to America and in
vest with us.
To ail such people the genius of
America speaks, in the language of
another German poet, the great Nor
valis, "Gieb Treulich mir die iierde sei
bruder mir, uud wande den blick vor
deinem elude nicht wiedes neg von mir.
Im temple wo mir Knien ein ort wohin
wir Ziehen ein geuck fur das wir glehen
ein himmel mir und der." Such is the
welcome that America gives to all peo
ple.
I thank you for this call to-day, fel
low-citizens. I thank you for your
kindness of expression, and I conclude
by saying, "Wilkommen alle "
EMPLOYERS' LIABILITIES.
The tendency of legislation to throw
safugards around human life, and to
hold railway corporations and others
employing men in more or less dan
gerous occupations to the duty of
maxing use of all available means to
lessen the hazards of travel and labor,
is well shown in the recent bill before
the British Parliament, known as the
Employers' Liability Bill. The object
of this particular bill is ",o extend and
regulate the liability of employers to
make compensation for injuries suffered
by workmen in their service." It pro
vides that in cases of injury resulting
in death, the employer shall be liable,
and the representatives of the injured
party shall have the same right of
compensation as if he had not been in
the service of the employer. The
limit of sum recoverable was first set
at three years' earnings of a person in
the same grade of employment in the
district in which the injury was re
ceived . but in the House of Lords it
was, on the motion of Lord Beacons
field, reduced to two years.
By the terms of the bill the employ
er is liable for personal injury if
caused: (1) by reason of any defect
in the ways, works, machinery, plant,
or stock in-trade connected with or
used in the business of the employer;
or (2) by reason of the negligence of
any person in the service of the em
ployer who has superintendence in
trusted to him while in the exercise of
such superintendence ; or (3) by rea
son of the negligence of any person in
the service of the employer to whose
orders or directions the workman at
the time of the injury was bound to
conform, and did conform, where such
injury resulted from his having so con
formed ; or (4) by reason of the act or
omission of any person in the service
of the employer done or made in obedi
ence to the rules or by-laws of the em
ployer, or ih obedience to particular
instructions given bv any person dele
gated with the authority of the em
ployer in that behalf; (5) by reason
of the negligence of any person in the
service of the employer who has the
charge or control of any signal, points,
locomotive engine, or traiu upon a
railway."
AMERICANUFEF A Sl> GIIA IS
IN ENGLAND.
The report of Mr. Reed and Mr.
Pell, the luttor a member of the British
Parliament, upon American agriculture
is well worthy attention. The enor
mous supply of American beef and
American grain arriving in England
had aroused general attention and even
alarm in fanning circles, and Messrs.
Reed and Pell came out to ascertain
the exact situation, and to discover
what England has to expect hereafter.
They have apparently looked closely
and studied shrewdly, and from their
report it is evident to the London
Times that "it is not so much the soil
the climate, or the vastness of the
American continent that the British
agriculturist .has to fear as the irre
pressible energy, the boundless self
confidence, and the inexhau. tible in
vention of the United States citizen."
The quantity of Indian corn export
ed has never exceeded seven per cent.,
and by converting it into beef and
pork the American farmer experts to
receive double the value ho could com
mand for his corn. The export of beef
has thoroughly frightened the English
grazier, but Messrs. Ileed and Pell hold
the American supply of live or dead
meat to be thus far an experiment
only, and that the paying success is
very doubtful. Loss and profit are
within the range of a penny per pound.
The export of fat beasts to England
has been a failure so far in the opinion
of the report, because the animals re
quire much room and care, aud can not
stand liad weather. It is now pro
posed to send store animals of im
proved breed.
Messrs. Bced and Pell decide that
we can not make very good cheese,
and that generally American butter is
inferior. The Time* says, "Really
good butter of the English kind is a
very great and expensive luxury in
America. Perhaps the enormous
quantities of buttcrins' discharged
daily on the Continent and the world
from the abbotoirs may have someth
ing to do with this." The report dons
not fear any immediate rivalry in the
butter and cheese manufacture. But
the Time .s in summing up the report,
says, with rueful frankness, "America \
has thrown down the gauntlet, and,
will not desist till she win "

CURING A HUSH AND OF PRO
FANITY.
Many a wife has been shocked and
pained at he husband's habit of swear
ing without being able to think of any
expedient to break him. David Swing,
in the Alliance, tolls an amusing story
of how a bride actually succeeded in
curing her beloved of this vi -e. She in
vited her bridesmaids, four in number,
to a quiet dinner. As they kuew of
the profane habits of the grooui, and
also knew of his good qualities—that
he was a man worth saving—they en
tered gladly into the proposed comedy.
The plan was that all these beautiful
women should use profane words at
the table, as the hot coffee, or hot
weather or slow servants might afford
an opportunity It was a bold plan,
but it is said to have cured the wicked
husband ; for when his elegant wife
applied a profane term to the biscuit,
and a fair guest made a like remark of
the coflee, and still another applied a
profane expletive to the movements of
a servant, the husband absolutely
cried with remorse that he had ever
himself used such an outrageous form
of speech. Prof. Swing thinks that
"while such a cure cannot be justified,
because it might kill the ladies with
out curing the masculine offender, yet
the story itself may serve to shew
tlmt man as an animal that swears is
a mournful curiositv."
THE SUPURB.
What He Has to Sat/ of the Curt ency
and the Banks.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15—A member of
the Herald staff,who, after making the
rounds of the most extensive watering
places dursng the summer, has been
closing his nsual vacation with a month
in New York, boarding at Delmonieo's,
and receiving his mail at the Union
Club, was invited a few days since to
dine with General Hancock at the
house of Win. 11. Yanderbilt. It was a
party of three, and, when the cham
pagne and dessert caiue on Mr. Yan
derbilt considerately withdrew leav
ing the General and the newspaper
man tete-a-tete. The former appeared
somewhat nervous and endeavored
to turn the conversation into a safe
channel, remarking, as he held his
glass to bis nose, "Van. has a fine taste
in wine. This Yerzenap is certainly ex
cellent. In our campaigning we——"
—"Excuse the interruption, General,"
said the n. p. m., "but I wish to ask
your opinion upon the great financial
problems of the day."
The supurb looked at his inquisitor
as if to measure his determination,
then, seeing firmness in every line of
his countenance, said with a sigh i "I
do not think that this is kind of Yan,
I really don't. English knows a great
deal more about the subject than I do.
But I suppose I must submit. What
do you wish to know ?"
"What do you consider the most im
portant financial question of the time?"
Gen. Hancock brightened up and
gained assurance as he answered:
"Assuredly; how to make Bill Eng
lish come down. Some of our best
men have tried it, and i: don't work
worth a cent. You see—"
"Pardon me, General, you miss my
meaning. I desired to know jour
opinion of National, not party,
finance."
"Well, all other questions of money
are, comparatively, merely local. The
matter may be briefly summed up
thus: People want money ;itis a
good thing to have. If a little isgood,
more would, of course, be better. Con
sequently I favor expansion of the cur
rency. A great deal has been said
about and against a wildcat currency.
Now, all authorities agree upon the
point that a rapid movement of money
is indispensable to prosperity. What
would be more likely to move rapidly
than a wildcut currency ?"
With this he looked up in a satis
lied manner; beat his magnificent
breast with his beautiful hand and
calmlv awaited a further onslaught.
"So much for inflation,' said the
journalist, "how about free banking ?"
"The question of free banking de
pends upon the character of the banker
and the kind of men who patronize
him," said the candidate. "When I
was a Colonel a man started a bank in
camp. He was free to do so and 1
didn't feel called upon to interfere.
But he didn't run a square game, and
the boys soon got onto him and ran
him out. Such things are regulated
by circumstances.
"Your opinion on the subject of the
Bland bill would, I am sure, be ac
ceptable."
"Bland meant well, but he made the
mistake of not providing for the circu
lation of his dollars when he arranged
for their coinage. With a liberal coin
age, the economists tell us, should go
a free circulation. If 1 were President
I should deem it my duty to provide,
so far as possible, for the application
of the standard dollars now in the
Treasury to the forwarding of the in
terest of the party in power. They
are of no use now, and by so doing we
would get them into the hands of the
people insterd of leaving them in the
the Treasury vaults."
"Apropos of the Bland bill, what do
you think of a bi-metallic currency?"
asked the correspondent.
"That is just it." said Genenl Han
cock; "that is where the Greenbackers
are right; if a man isn't satisfied with
paper money, lie can buy metallic cur
rency, as those who needed it did, be
fore resumption.
"One mo e question, General, and I
am done. What have you to say of
the National Banks ?"
"They are regarded differently in
different places. That in Indianapolis,
with which Knglish has been connect
ed, is an excellent one. It has been
well conducted from the first. The
prime object of the National bank is to
provide a place of deposit for the sav
ings of t!i.' poor people, and it serves
the purpose excel'ently."
At this point M.\ Vnndeibilt re
turned, and the conversation assumed
a general tone.— Cleveland Herald.
