There are five or six active candi
dates for Mr. Jackson’s shoes. Let
the best man win.
It cannot truthfully be denied
that the populists got the worst of
their deal with the democrats.
Now let’s muzzle the calamity
howlers and everybody help to push
along the business boom.
The Cnban insurgents are now
Baid to be perfecting plans for
beseiging the city of Havana.
France has a big flood, but our
Salt river is not affected, and the
defeated find it easily navigable.
Mb. Cleveland hasn’t sent any
congratulations, but that is no indi
cation that he isn’t pleased with the
result.
Elephants are noted for their
climbing powers, and the G. O. P.
animal is the greatest climber of
them all.
One thing can be said of Tom
Watson: he didn’t have to wait until
the election was over to find out that
he had been buncoed.
Bbyan knows mors than he did,
although it is far from certain that
his increased knowledge has added
to his stock of happiness.
Th* Russian Czar and .Czarina
have retired to a country residence
for a rest, which they need about as
much as our campaign speakers do.
Why not take a little rest before
starting upon the construction of
theoabinet? Or better yet, who not
leave the job to the president-elect?
Nsw York city’s mammoth MpKin
ley and Hobart and honest money
parade occupies the proud position
of having been the greatest civic
prooession known in the history of
the world.
Bbyax’s admirers are now talking
of sending him to the senate in 1000
in place of Senator W. Y. Allen.
Our free silver friends should bear
in mind the fact that a republican
will suoceed Mr. Allen.
Thb Spanish government having
succeeded in placing a loan of 180,
000,000, Gen. Weyler may feel justi
fied in increasing his corps of type
writers, thus enabling him to eircu
late more claims of victories.
Tub plurality of McKinley in
Illinois, the birth state of Bryan, is
144,882, and 70,145 in Cook county,
where the convention was held : that
nominated Bryan. Could any can
didate want anything more decisive?

Tub college football players may
ease their minds; now that the more
important business of electing a
president has been attended to, the
public will devote some of its atten
tion to the chrysanthemum haired
young men, who have been some
what neglected of late.
Thi people of the Third congres
sional district will regret having
elected Samnel Maxwell to oongress
before the next session of that body
is fairly started. Poor Third, the
Sixth sympathizes with yon, for we
have Bill Green. But there is some
consolation in the fact that their
term of offioe lasts only two years.
Hihbt M. Staxliy, who has been
strangely silent since he got a seat
in the British parliment, has written
a letter endorsing lord Salisbury's
attitude on the Venezuelan question.
Henry lias the fawning act down
fine; it put money in his purse as a

* and he doubtless thinks it ought to

Ths Faorraa desires to congrat
ulate County Superintendent W. R

office of state superintendent. While

▲ COMPLETE VINDICATION.
It is not an exaggerated estimate
that 150,000 persons who were with
out employment a week ago today
are now at work. These are em
ployed in every branch of industrial
and business activity and include
many thousands of commercial
travelers who have taken the road
within the last few days. More than
half the number have been given
work in reopened mills and factories,
while other thousands have been em
ployed in the various trades. In
some localities the demand for labor
exceeds the supply. The improve
ment in industrial and labor con
ditions is not confined to the eastern
and middle states. It is seen in
California and some other far west
ern states.
This is but the beginning. An
nouncements are made of industries
to start up and others to increase
their capacity which insure a greater
dematd for labor during the next
thirty days than has already taken
place, so that before the close of the
year it is safe to say that fully 300
000 wage-workers who were earning
nothing before the election will be
at work. It is also to be noted that
this labor is being employed without
any reduction of wages and in some
cases at an increase, especially for
skilled labor. Consider what this
means in the enlarged distribution
of money and therefore in the pur
chasing power of the people. As
sume that the annual average earn
ings of this labor is $400, which is
considerably less than it was four
years ago, and we have $60,000,000
added to the wage account already
since the election, with the assur
ance that this will be at least doubled
before the end of the year, or
$120,000,000 annually added to the
purchasing power of the people.
The industrial resumption will not
stop there. The spring of 1897
will witness a further demand for
labor in all directions—in manufac
turing, in transportation, in build
ing and in public improvements, so
that it is reasonably assured that by
next summer practically all the
labor in the country, especially
skilled labor, will be employed.
When that is done the consuming
capacity of the people will be very
materially increased and there will
be a better home market for agri
cultural products than thero has
been for several years. Already the
policy of opening the mills has
received most complete vindication.
But this is not the only vindica
tion of the republican contention.
It promised a full restoration of
confidence and it has come. There
is an abundance of money for every
legitimate demand. The Bupply of
gold is found to be in excess of the
demand, since the people do not
want it for general circulation, and
the banks at the financial centers
are prepared to furnish gold for
export as it may be needed, so that
the treasury reserve, now consider
ably in excess of the $100,000,000
limit, shall not be drawn upon. Not
since 1892 have the banks before
been disposed to do this. It is
highly probable that in the near
future the practioe that prevailed
until 1890, of the government and
i t he banks settling balances between
them in gold, will be renewed, thus
affording further protection to the
treasury reserve.
With these facts before him can
any rational man doubt the wisdom
of the Americon people in sustain*
ing the sound money cause f But it
is said by the free silver leaders,
who are compelled to acknowledge
these conditions, that they cannot
be perpetuated. It is sufficient
answer to this that we had such
conditions almost uninterruptedly
from the resumption of speoia pay
ments to 1892, and there is no valid
reason why we may not have them
for a longer period if the country
continues faithful to sound money
and protection. It is the avowed
purpose of the free silverites to
destroy these conditions, if possible,
by continuing their agitation, but
the attempt will be hopeless. That
cause is weaker by a million voten
today than it was a week ago, and it
will steadily deoline under the influ
i ence of a rising and expanding
(prosperity.—Omaha Bee.
THB HORSE IN HI8TORV.
Ibnjr Tiilaff* Recorded In Honor of
the Zfoblo Stood.
Now that the hone Is losing Its Im
portance as a factor In the travel of
the times and all the world is at peace,
so that he is not needed in warfare, it
is worth .chile to cast a retrospective
glance over his history, and recall fea
tures of past greatness, which must al
ways attest his worth. It may be that
he will suffer a temporary eclipse only
that hi3 record may show all the
brighter when he emerges from the en
forced retirement now imminent, but
that he should disappear altogether
from the face of the earth, is an ulti
mate possibility which takes on the
nature of a calamity. Surely a few no
ble specimens will be reserved for the
racing sport, so dear to man, since not
even electricity can offer a desirable
substitute. The blue-grass trotter
proudly points to Ten Broeck, Long
fellow, Jay-Eye-See, Lexington, Maud
S., the fastest trotters of the century,
Ethan Allen, and a host of others,
whose names are written indelibly on
the horse’s book of peerage, the Amer
ican trotting register. Among the
horses of the past who led the world’s
record were Lady Suffolk, qne mile,
2:28; Flora Temple, 2:19%; Dexter, 2:17;
Rarus, 2:13%; St. Julien, 2:11%; Maud
S., 2:10%. This was wonderful record
breaking in each Instance, but now the
trotter will have to do its mile in two
minutes to excite attention. A 2:10
gait is slow to the present generation.
And how much were those famous
horses worth in their day? Robert
Bonner is said to bave paid $33,000 for
Dexter, and $36,000 for Rarus; Mr. Van
derbilt paid $20,000 for Maud S. He re
fused $76,000 for her a few months
later. It is said that on one occasion,
when General Grant was out driving
with Mr. Bonner, behind Dexter, he re
marked, that in an artistic sense, the
animal in the shafts was vastly supe
rior to the two in the sulky, and that
they suffered by physical comparison.
EXCISE IN ENOLAND.
Til* bm Are Strictly Enforced, but
Are Liberal In n Right Direction.
The hours for closing taverns or sa
loons on Sunday vary In different parts
of the kingdom, greater opportunities
being given for drinking in London
than in the provinces. In the London
metropolitan district all taverns, res
taurants, hotel bars and, in fact, every
place where liquor of any description
can be purchased, must remain closed
from midnight on Saturday until 1 in
the afternoon of Sunday. Then the
house can open and do business until
S p. m, when they must close again and
remain so until 6 in the afternoon.
Then they can open and remain in full
blast until 11 at night, but at that hour
sharp to the minute every public house
door must be tightly closed and every
customer off the premises. At 6 in the
morning of a week-day the taverns can
open, although the more respectable
houses do not take advantage of that
permission until two or three hours
later in the morning. Closing time on a
week-day is 12:30 a. m., except on
Saturday nights, when it is sharp mid
night Christmas Day and Good Friday
are the only two other days in the year
which are treated as Sundays, so far as
the license law goes. The four bank
holidays, which are legal national holi
days, are the greatest days of all the
year for the public houses.
A Natural Financier.
A group were talking a ffjw evening!
ago about some remarkable exhibitions
of “nerve,” whan one said: “I think I
saw about as ‘nervy’ a display of im
pudence as I ever heard of in a cigar
store in this city a few days ago. A
young man came in and asked for two
ten-oent cigars, throwing a halt dollar
on the counter. The clerk gave him the
goods, and tendered him in change
thirty cents—a nlckle and a Canadian
twenty-five cent piece. The customer
object to taking, a Canadian coin
when the clerk said: ‘Well, sir, I am
perfectly willing to give you American
money, it you prefer it, but suppose you
first give me an American half dollar
for this Canadian flfty-cent piece yon
gave me.’ ”

Hypophosphites have cured
thousands of cases of consump

cure old, advanced cases too;
but not so many, nor so prompt

vanced that a cure cannot be
made, even then SCOTT'S
EMULSION checks the rapid
ity of the , disease, relieves the
pains in the chest, reduces the
night sweats, and makes the
cough easier. In these cases it
comforts and prolongs life.

CRISPI ARD OUIDA 6HRIHKING3
She Says There I* ■ Reign of Terror
from Alps to Etna.
The government of Francesco Crlspi
has sent the country back sixty years,
says Oulda in the Contemporary Re
view. By him and through him all the
old instruments of torture are in use.
Spies fill the cities, detectives scour the
fields, informers listen to all speech,
public and private; literary clubs and
co-operative societies are arbitrarily
dissolved; packed Juries condemn;
venal judges sentence; military courts
Imprison civilians; civil courts judge
homicidal officers; time serving prefects
deny the franchise to all independent
thinkers and manipulate the electoral
lists to suit their governments; lads as
they come singing through the country
lanes are arrested if the song is of lib
erty; little children writing in chalk on
the town wall are sent to prison for
forty-five days. There Is a reign of ter
ror from Alps to Etna, and the police,
irmed to the teeth, swarm everywhere
ind the prisons are crowded with inno
lent citizens. The country has gone
hack to the darkest and worst days of
Austria and papal tyranny and the
same of the tyrant is ostensibly Hum
bert of Savoy; in reality, Francesco
drispi. Meanwhile there is no check,
whatever on the caprices and coercion
>f his rule. It is already stated that to
procure funds, nominally for Africa,
actually for the elections, confiscated
:hurch property, now state property, is
:o be largely and without the consent
>f parliament illegally sold. To any
>ne who cares for liberty and believes
it to be the sole moral hygiene of a na
tion the state of Italy at the present
time is painful and humiliating.
Squally so to any unbiased English
thinker is the attitude of the Heading
English newspapers upon Italian af
fairs, which they continuously and sys
tematically conceal or distort. It is
llfficult, well-nigh impossible to make
the most intelligent Englishman com
prehend Italian public life. He is mis
ted by the surface semblance of his
>wn institutions of monarchy, parlia
nent and electorate and he does not
somprehend the enormous unlikeness of
ill these to his own caused by character
md custom.
AERIAL TRAVEL,
Limitation* Which Surround Animal* In
Their Flight.
It is evident that not one of these
vould-be flying machine men has ever
leriously undertaken to solve the prob*
em mentally, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. There is but one way of getting
hrough the air by mechanical action,
md that is by cleavage. There are
'eally only two forms of cleavage, the
>ne as represented by wing action as
ipplied by Insects and birds, the other
i rotary action as represented by the
icrew of a steamer. To the application
>f the wing principle there is a limit
let by natural law, Just as in animal
terms there is a limit set to either bl>
pedal or quadrupedal construction,
rhere is, perhaps, no form of cleavage
hat represents the expenditure of force
nore economically than wing action as
Manifested in the flight of a wild goose.
Here is an exceptionally large avoir
lupois for the wing area, but the bird
sannot carry any additional weight. In
he birds of prey, the body is lighter in
proportion to wing surface—a light,
jompact frame, but immense muscular
iction, capable of carrying for a short
Ustaace a load of from eight to twelve
pounds. But the limit is soon found,
md there is not a winged creature on
the earth weighing fifty pounds that
san mount into the air and cleave as a
true flyer. Why do not the ostrich, the
great auk, the emu and other congeners
of these bird tribes properly fly, since
they are equipped with cleavers as are
other birds of flight? Walkers and
swimmers, as well as flyers, are all, by
natural law, limited within certain re
strictions, and it is remarkable that
these inventors have not learned this,
us it is a fact of the utmoBt importance,
and one which, in a careful analysis,
must early disclose Itself.
Vo Make Grape Frntt Midi
To make most delicious as veil as
healthful salad use a good ripe grape
fruit and crisp, fresh head of lettuce.
Wash the lettuce and let it stand in
cold water till needed, then Bhake out
the leaves and arrange them in the sal
ad bowl. Cut the grape-fruit in half
and with a spoon take out all the pulp,
taking care to preserve the Juice. Ar
range the pulp in the lettuce loaves and
make a dressing of oil and the juioe.
To every three tablespoonfuls of this
oil allow half a teaspoonful of pepper.
Put all these ingredients in a bowl and
dissolve the salt and pepper in the oH,
then rub the spoon with a dose of garlio
and stir in the juice of the fruit until
emulsion is formed. Pour it over the
lettuce and pulp and serve at once.
About one teaspoonful of JuJse should
be sufficient for three of oil, bat it »* not
possible to lay down any exact rule.
Vigorous stirring is essential, and as
soon as a whitish compound is formed
the dressing is ready for use.—Philadel
phia Record.
Cheese Crackers.
A dainty morsel for the hungry halt
hour before bedtime is “cheese crack
ers.” Spread thin zephyrettes or salted
crackers with a little butter and sprin
kle lightly with grated Parmesan
cheese. Place on a dish in the oven long
enough to brown them slightly. Theeo
will keep for several days.
