THE saloon men of Hastings wouh
possess a great snap if they could onl }
secure their champion and defender ,
Thompson of the Democrat , for a

bald-headed bibulousness Dick woulc

THE testimony of the Brotherhood oi
Locomotive Engineers is that "it don't
pay to strike. " It is what is being slow
ly forced upon the minds of a good ma
ny laborers. Empty pockets , and hun
gry children , and sorrowing wives in
a multitude of homes are arguments
enough to convince any man that the
Brotherhood of Engineers diagnosed
the . ' 'It don't
case correctly. pay to
strike. "
IT is reported that the regular demo
crats and the President have come to
terms and thing ? arc running more
smoothly. Fifty treasury clerks are
discharged per week now without any
unnecessary noise and the boys are be
ing taken in and cared for. This is why
we haven't heard a word of that civil
service commission since its reorganiza
tion. It isn't working for glory like the
old Eaton-Thoman crowd , but has been
reorganized strictly for business.
ONE of the anarchist orators on being
arrested was found to have a gun-shot
wound in the leg. For a time it looked
as though he had been really in the
front of the fight he had helped to bring
on and it was suspected that he was a
very brave leader. But when the sur
geon came to examine the wound he as
certained by the direction of the ball
that the police hadn't shot him. lie
lad been struck by a ball from his own
pistol while gravitating to the rear with
imprudent speed.
JUDGE NEVILLE'S reason , assigned
'or giving JohnV. . Lauer a new trial
on the charge of feloniously shooting
iis wife is , that according to the testi
mony Lauer ought to have been found
guilt7 of murder in the first degree or
acquitted entirely. The judge's logic
las a sinister cant to it that will not
) articluarly assure the prisoner or his
attorneys of their wisdom in applying
or another chance. Possibly , however ,
he intention is to get a change of venue
and have a jury called from a communi-
y that harbors no prejudice against the
accused.
POWDERLY is spoken of as the next
Democratic candidate for governor of
Pennsylvania.
VARIOUS journals throughout the
state are whimpering muchly because
the "New Republic" has published the
names of saloon license petitioners in
different places. This is most incon
sistent. Certainly the promoters of
such desirable institutions are but poor
ly paid for their philanthropy by having
a monument in the public press.
THE department of agriculture in its
forestry division has prepared a sched
ule for observations of tree life , and ,
accompanying it , of weather conditions ,
for the purpose ot aiding an interest in
forestry work and to arrive at certain
results explained on the schedules. It
is desirable that these schedules should
be noted by a very large number of per
sons , and everybody interested will be
welcome to apply to the department for
the blaj/ks. As the season is rather
advanced not all the points required
may Vc taken this year but even a parI I
tial report will be accentable. The
schedule may be obtained by addressing J

Canon Farrar's New Book.
A few weeks ago , when Canon Farrar was
in this country , tens of thousands of people
paid as much as one dollar each to hear a
single lecture delivered by him , and ere
well pleased with what they got for their
uoney. Several of the most impoitant of
: ho&e lectures and addresses with other pai i
ier& are now published by John B. Alden , of j
New York , and can now be had in a very
landsoine cloth-bound volume , for the price
of 40 cents. Some of the lectures aie aKo \
published separately in his Elzevir Library ,
n which form the lecture on Dante ' 'ells for
"cents ; on Temperance , a cents ; on Ideals
of Nations , 2 cents ; Thoughts on America , 3
cents' . The millions of intelligent people
vho admire Canon Farrar and who weie not
able to hear him lecttue , will be delighted to
hid his brilliant , scholarly and eloquent
houghb placed in this handsome form
vithin their reach. The publisher's illustrat

II. ilEXPE , a blacksmith at Sigel. 111. , wrote
Alarcb'that he was very lame with rlieu-
natism , he could hardly walk and the joints
of his limbs weie badly swollen and very sore ,
and so painful he could scarcely turn in bed.
His phvsician advised him to use Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. The effect was beneficial
from the first application , and he is now able
to attend to his regular woik. This medicine
has only to be tried to convince the most skep
tical that it is the best treatment for rheuma
tism. Sold by M. A. Spalding and Willey &
