A coiiREspoNDENT from Sucnrdon writes . i the IIkraui to know how far he ouaht to -ii iu an attempt to reform a crying evil In 1 bat commanlty. We have net seen tlio vil nor heard it cry, neither do we glean ' nun our correspondent's letter the nature of i he evil complained of. However, we would ay by all means go just far enough to effect i he reform. Tin: hysterical fits of the 1'otUville lie l ublicaii's editor, because of the fear that ' lie representatives fron this couuty will not otc as he would desire them, Is amusing ndeed. The fact of the matter is, the He publican is so seldom within the party lireastworks that it imagines the people of this county favor the man it is paid to advo i ate. The Republican should turn around and i iew its childish antics as the public sees I hem. Till'. Republican caucus to select a suc cessor to United States Senator J. Donald Cameron, will be called together at HarriB luirg to-morrow evening. We have no rea son to change our views as to who will be Senator Quay's colleague. We still think that IJiics Penrose is the coining man, and that Senator Quay's estimate of 160 votes in tlie caucus for tlio brainy young l'hiladel phiaii is much less than what ho will actually receive.

IXSVKIXCB CoMMlSSIONEK IjAMHKKT has taken the initiative towards securing for cities and boroughs the money intended fcr the establishment of firemen's relief funds. For several weeks tlio Insurance Department has beeu receiving communications of inquiry respecting the act of 18B5, under which one- half of the 3 per cent, tax on gross premiums of foreigu fire insurance companies is to be returned te the scvoral cities and borouglit f the state. While there is nothing in the act providing that this money is for the use of the firemen's organizations, it is well known that the bill was passed in deferenco to their wishes and they are expecting to get the benefit of it. It has imposed a good deal of labor and additional duty upon the Insurance Department, and Commissioner Lambert lias had added to the blanks for annual statements of tlie foreign companies a tabulated list of the cities and boroughs upon which tlio detailed returns of thegioss premiums ean lie made. Evkry newspaper man In the course of his troublous career has iulluoncee brought to bear upon him to suppress legitimate newe, which we have been taught to believe, from n any years service iu tlie nowspaper bui n 'ss, to lie the chief stock in trade of a daily I' urnal. Tlio pressure most frequently ex ted to keep the press silent is called "family nsideratious," which naturally appeal to i e bettor instincts of tlie hard-hearted man ho holds down the editorial tripod. If a mug man becomes involved in a disgraceful - rapo, the home paper is often calluil upon " take no cognizance of the fact, as it would irt the feelings of the family which lias the isfortuue of owning him as a member. en when the editor, in consideration of ' ii- innocent parties, consents to put the hand suppression upon the reportorial work, ho rewarded by the sneers of his readers for ! tck of independence or want of the 1 ecessary newspaper enterprise.

No trouble is more common or more mis ifaderetood than nervous dyspepsia. People having It think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they aie not cured by nerve medicine and spring reme dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost sight of; the stomach Is the organ to be looked after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any 1 aln whatever In the stomach, nor perhaps any ef the usual symptoms of stomach weak ness. Nervous dyepeisiia shows Itself not In tlie stomach so much as in nearly every other organ ; In some cases the heart palpitates and Is Irregular; In others 1LM kidneys are affected ; in others the bowels are constipated with henilncl.es; still otheis are troubled with loi-s of llesh anil appetite, with accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn. Mr. A. W.

The house will get down to nerlotis business as soon as It reassembles after the holiday recess to morrow. Probably the two most lmtior- "ut l'loee of general legislation to I acted upon at tlie short session havo been made special order and will consume the entire week.

Claims to Be a Benefattor to' Weakened Mankind. There is always 'more or leas suspicion attached to anything that Is offered free but sometimes a man so overflows with generosity that lie cannot rest until hll discovery Is known to the world, In order that his fellow men may profit by what he has discovered. It Is upon this principal that a resident of Kalamasoo, Mich., desires to send free to mankind a prescription which will curetheni of any form of nervous debility ; relieves them of all the doubt and uncertainty whleh such men are peculiarly liable to and restores the organs to natural slse and vigor. As it costs nothing to try the experiment It would seem that any man, sulferiilg with the nervous troubles that usually attack men who ucvor stopped to realise what might be the Anal result, ought to lie deeply Interested iu a remedy which will restore them to health, strength and vigor, without which they continue to live an existence of untold misery. As the remedy In question was tlie result of many years research as to what combination would be peculiarly effective In restoring to men the strength they need, It would seem that all men suffering with any form of nervous weakness ought to write for such a remedy at once. A request to It. C. Olds, Itox 1712, Kalamasoo, Mich., stating that you are not sending for tlie prescription out of idle curiosity, but that you wish to make use of the medicine by giving it a trial, will be answered promptly and without evidence as to where information came from. The prescription Is sent free and although some may wonder how Mr. Olds can afford to give away his discovery, thcro Is uo doubt alamt the oiler being genuine. Cut tills out and send to Mr. Olds so that ho mny know how you came to write him. 12-28-7St NUGGETS OF NEWS. Corn is only nino cents n bushel in Nebrnskn, und farmers nru using it for fuel.

No district In America presents, during the Winter season, so many varied attractions as the State of Florida. Besides its delightful climate, which to ono escaping from tho cold and unhealthfiil changes of the North wrms almost ethereal, it is pre eminently a land of sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred miles of salt-water coast nnd In its twelve hundred fresh-water lakos are fish of almost every conccivablo variety, from the migra tory tribes common to Noithcrn waters to the tarpon, pompano, and others of a more tropical character.

Deer, turkeys, bears, panthers, and wild cats roam at largo through the more sparsely settled regions, while birds of all Kliius may oo Iouiiil iu abundance through out the State. The more novel sport of al ligator and manatee hunting may also he in dulged In by the nunc adventurous tourist. With its matchless climate, its orange groves, its rivers und Iai.es, its boating and bathing, its fishing and hunting, and its extensive forests, Florida presents unrivaled attractions for the valetudinarian, tho lover of nature, the sportsman and the explorer. To this attractive state the Pennsylvania Iiailroad Company has arranged four per-sonally-couducted tours during tlie season of 1807, leaving by special train January to, February 0 and 23, and March 0.
