MONDAY. JANUARY 1, 18B7.
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. WanRinakcr's friends aro putting
up a great bin IV, but l'unioe will receive the
prize.
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. Truly the
i atli of tlie average newspaper man is strewn
i ith anything but roses !

Interesting Experience of .in IndlanapollB 1
Gentleman.
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. Sharper, of No. 01 Prospect St.,
Indlauapolls, Intl., writes as follows: "A

ot tlie medicine wore off. I attributed this

to stale that tho tablets have overcome all
these obstacles, for I havo gained in llesh.

AVabbinoton, Jan. 4. 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. Thy are the Loud bill to
amend the laws relating to second class
mall matter so as to prevent tho shipment

nection with newspapers, nt the oont pot
IHiiind rate, nnd to cut off the newspaper
sample copy privilege, and the bill pre
li red by tho Pacific railroad oommlttee to
fund the debts of the Pool lie railroads nnd
extend their payment for fifty years at X
Iter oent
The fund bill has already been debated
ono day, nnd under the order adopted the
debate will oontlnue tomorrow and Wed
nesday, and the bill will be brought to a
vote on the latter day at 4 o'olook. The
Pacific railroad bill will be taken up on
Thursday. The general debate will oon
tlnue until Friday evening. On Saturday
the bill will lie open to amendment undor
tho live minute rule, and on Monday the
vote will be taken on the bill nud lending
amendments. The fate of the moasure
will determine whether the government
wilt foreclose Its mortgages on the Union
aud Central Pacific.
Ueyuud the faot that the bill providing
for tree homesteads on former Indian res
erviu.iims on the calendar is the "unfin
ished business," tho senate has no pro
gram for this week. There is liable to lie
a sharp olash of interests in the effort to
secure consideration aud a possibility that
this clash may develop an iuteresting sit
uation. The friends of the Pnoiflo railroad re
funding bill will make an effort 'o get
that measure up fur consideration unloss
they conclude that In doing so they mny
Impair its chances of pnssuge. Until tho

FREE CURE FOR HEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His Dls
eovety Ftee.
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

Ono thing is certain : It will not do to

too, that bad colds arc so often neglected

Tours to Florida.
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. Nowhere In all our broad
laud can tho angler find a greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here nlso tho most enthusiastic hunter
flails satiety. 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. Tho fuot
three tours will admit of a sojourn of two

fourth tour will be valid to return until May
