Ox November 7, the day of the great Democraic wake, Thurman will have the laugh on Cleveland. The " Old Roman ' wrote no letter of acceptance. Globe Democrat. President Cleveland vetoed another widows pension bill on Friday, and thus reiterated his well-known opinion that the surplus should not be reduced by voting money for the support of women whose husbands went to the war and got killed, instead of sending substitutes. With a cui of free coffee I drink to the health of the democratic party. R. Q. Mills. Who made coffee free? What party took the duty off coffee? The republican party. If the democrats had their way a duty would be again placed on tea and coffee, the sugar duty would be increased, and the duty on every article produced in this country that is to sny, every duty thtt protects any American pro ducer or worker would be cut down be low the reyenue point, or swept away altogether. This is the sort of friendship for American industry which the demo cratic party entertains. - The London Iron and Coftl Trades Review recently said: "Our tin plate. are chiefly sent to the United St-ites. which in fact takes tp thirds of all wi send abroad, and it is a source of muc h bitterness of spirit among the rank pro tcctionists of the ,tatis that the govern ment will not there put on sucn a" pro hibitive duty as will effectually exclud British tin plates an I enable American manufacturers tj carry on the produc tion The manufacture is confined to South Wales and a few mills in Stafford fihire. and in the first named district the business has seen a wnderful devolment of late years." This "wonderful development" has all been at the expense of this countiy. When did the fathers of the American republic announce the doctrine that it is the busing of our government to inact tariff law3 which will build up English and Welsh industries and preyent the de velopment of American industries? . We clip the following from the report of Conml Hotchkiss, of Ottowa, Canad . made to the state dparetnicnt, Aug. 31st, 18 iS; which shows that if the tariff is ta ;en lf of luiiibjr it will not be any lower tha it is at prcs.-nt: There is no dispute that the American manufacturer controls the making of pricei. In doing thi lis is not influenced br the CmadUn supply in any degree. If the duty of $2 is removed it will not affect thu American price, because it ha never ieen a factor and will still be un fclt. No lotvW price will prevail in the United 8Ut-s than' heret f .re, and no different net results will ha exper market at $2 less per thousand, and will obtain for it the same as the American docs, so that the net result of the Cana dian manufacturer will he a clear gain of the f 2 which the American Govern ment has remitted. This additional net result to the Canadian manufacturer will, however, be of very brief duration. I am confident that not a May pay-day will pass before a public notice will is sue in effect that a further increase in an nual and timber dues has been made an order in ccuncil, in sums sufficient to ab sorb the $2 per thusand into the provin cial treasuries. WHAT THE "SOLID SOUTH" WAR COST IN LABOR. It may be -assumed that at a minimum the cost of suppressing the rebellion was $8,000,000,000. It was, therefore, $1 135,- 000.000 a year for seven years, It has bee a held that the maximum product of each person occupied for gain in 1880 could not have exceeded $600 worth; labor and capital were at lcsst one-third more effective during and since the year 180 than during the period of war and reconstruction. If then we value one man's labor from 1801 to 1SG8 inclusive at $300 a year, the work of war required the unremitting labor of 2,170.000 men for seven years, cither in two armies or in sustaining them. At $400 each, an estimete probably nearer to the mark at that time, the measure would be the con stant work of 2,8:37,500 men each year for seven years. The average population of tha period was 25,000,000, of whom not over oue in five could be considered an able-bodied man of arm-bearing age. The cost of liberty, therefore, consisted in actual arduous work at tho risk of life for seven years of one man of arms- bearing age in evey three. Edward At kinson in the October Forum. "I wonder Grimes has any friends His manner grows so surly; No matter where we chance to meet, Or whether late or early, 'Tis just the same; he cannot stay, And barely answer a 'good-day.' " Now this is a sad case of misconcep tion. It is not Grimes1 disposition which is at fault, but his liver. He can't ap pear jolly when he feels miserable. If he would take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi cal Discovery, the great liyer. stomach and bowel regulator, he would soon be the same happy fellow as of old agreea ble to himself and the world generally. What Am I To Do? The symptoms of biliousness are .un happily but too well known. They differ in d liferent individuals to some extent. A bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent appetite for liquids but none for solids of a morning. His tongue will hardly bear inspection at any time; if it is not white and furred, it is rough, at all events. The digestive system is wholly out of order and diarrhea or constipation may be a symptom or the two may alternate. There are often hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddiness and often headache and acidity or flatulence and tenderness in the pit of the stomach To correct all this if not effect a cure try Green's August Flower, it costs but a trine and thousands attest its efficacy.

HIS ITUMAXE HOBBY. A LOVER OF, HORSES PREACHES AGAINST THE CHECK REIN. Carrying an Oil 1'alntiiis lu Ills Hand He Goes About tho Streets lecturing Drir ent, and Showing Them the Cruelty of High Cheeking Experienec. "Down with the check rein!" Such is the war cry chosen by a gentle man of Scandinavian extraction whose name is C. W. Petersen. On Sundays, and on week days, too, ho may be seen at various street corners talking to coach men, teamsters and owners of horses. He holds an oil painting in his hands mid shows it to the neoplo he addresses as an illustration of his arguments. Tho picture represents a horse, a swan and a man, all checked up high, and bears tho followiu; peculiar inscription: "Vfhen under high pressure of low pride try tho check rein on yourself." Mr. Petersen is laughed ut and jeered at by the people he addresses Ilo is often taken for a crank and told roughly to mind his own business, but with tho obstinacy and perseverance of Peter tho Hermit, ho goes on preaching a crusade against the check rein. He is ono of those characters who cannot Ijo discouraged by obstacles, and who, having once taken up an idea, will follow it to tho end. "Laugh at me, take rne for f fool," Mr. Petersen says, "but I will stick to my business, and shall denounco tho check rein whenever there is a chance." Mr. Petersen is not a member of tho Humane society. Ilo is no professional friend of animals. In fact, ho minds his own business every workday in tho week. But as soon as he feels Hmsclf ut liberty to spare an hour or two ho takes his pic ture and goes out on the street to carry on ills eccentric propaganda. lie is a friend of the horses, and ho sullera when he sees them suffer. REGARDLESS OP COMFORT. "Fashion Is the curse of this age," said Mr. Petersen; "people will follow it re gardless of comfort. They will put mountains on their backs and call it the bustle. They will torture themselves in order to comply with certain forms de clared to be the fashion. When people torture themselves I do not care. Let them suffer, they ourht to know better. I then think to myself. liut when 1 see helpless animals tortured for the sake of complying with ridiculous demands of fashion, 1 get Indignant and cannot stand It. "The horse is one of the most beauti ful animals, because of his fine propor tions and graceful, curved outlines. Now look at that picture. What do you see there? You see the laws of nature vio lated. Yon see a machine put up on the horse in order to do away with the curved line his arched neck forms.' "That is the way I begin my conversa tion with the people handling horses and using the check rein. '1 tell them that this check rem is not only disfiguring the horse but also injur ing bis health. It robs him of comfort, it makes him nervous, and he can't see anything, because of being forced to look upward unto the sky. Then I point to the swan, and ask the coachman what that noble bird would look like if a check rein would be put over her head- Then I point to the checked up man, and ask the coachman to tell me how lie would feel if he were checked up in a like manner. ' 'How would you feel, man? I say. The first few minutes you would proba bly endure this constraint v.ithout much complaint. But then you would begin to kick. Lu a short time your neck would begin to ache, aud your mouth would be tilled with blood from tho fruitless efforts to get the head down. You would be come restless and begin to toss your head just as your horse is doing it now. How would you teel if, while the sun were blinding your eyes, with a burden to draw or carry, unable to see wucro to step, you were wrapped into a run, into a ditch or depression in the rough street pavement? Would you feel comfortable? That & why you often see fine horses harnessed to elegant carriages paw vigorously, champ the bit, toss the head, and turn the neck. They want to loosen the check, lower the head, and get a rest.' HOW THE DRIVER TAKES IT. "The driver smilo3 or laut-Ls, or stari- mers something, fellow, and goes lie tiiinKs I am a queer on to explain thiit he would not mind loosening the check, hut the people who employ him were opposed to it, want more style, and so on. " 'Well, then, 1 tsav, 'call your people s attention to the fact tiiat the horses are being tortured by the check rein. Tell them that the horses would be hilled in a short time because of the billy fashion.' 'I thus go on lecturing. Often the drivers and coachmen really follow my advice and remedy the thing. But often the people are stubborn and do not care to listen to what I say. "I have discovered that my painting helps me a good deal in my work. 1 took it one Sunday to tho People's church at McVicker's. There was a long row of carriages with line horses standing in front of the theatre. Th? horses were all checked up. I showed the pieturo to the coachmen. They laughed and Cred at me all kinds of silly remarks. Finally a young couple drove up in a carriage to the theatre. The horse was restless. I showed my picture to the voting gentle man and explained to him the ivaiuu cf the horse's restlessness. The young gen tleman thought he had a fool from the insane asylum before him. The uni formed, coachmen stood around grinding and awaiting developments. "Well, I gave them a practical lesson right there ra, the spot.

"There is ono feature in activo military onerations." said an old Union veteran in, the course of a long war reminiscence, "that tho general run of people little realize, and that Is, what it means to feed nn army, aud especially un armv pushed far in advance of its base of supplies. An army is a terrible creature to feed. Iu lights occasionally; it feeds all tho time. It is an immense stomach with thousand of mouths always crying for uioro.

"You have creeks to cross or rickety bridges, or you find tho bridges destroyed. You have small rivers to lord, liable to bo swollen at any time in a few hours by rain. You have only a singlo wagou track to travel on, running up and down hills and mountains, or along their sides, not kept in repair, and if a wagon breaks down your whole procession of vehicles is stopped until it cun be got out of tho way. You don't know at what moment in this country, new and strange to your y a squad of guerrillas, to whom every road and pass lias been familiar from their youtii, win swoop down or liro Mom au ambuscade upon some portion of your long drawn out, straggling train of wagons, all of which, from the narrow ness of the rood, it is impossible fully to. guard. You must drive along, also, pos blbly, a herd of half wild, half starved cattle, who will dash oif or stray off in the woods through which they are pass ing at every chance they can get. "You havo sixty or eighty miles of this sort of country to pass through beforo you can reach the aO.000 hungry men, liv ing now on a cracker per day. You may advance teu miles a day. You may twenty. You may make only live. Dis tances in on up and down country like this are very uncertain. You can't go at a gallop with a wagon train. And yoa are the olCcer in charge of this slow, lumber ing, long drawn out, clumsy procession. You are responsible for its safe delivery to the hungry army. You'vo got your hands full and your bead full, and when you've bossed road repairs, built bridges, pushed everybody and everything to keep them moving, and then, balf worn out and half dead through care and the strain of the responsibility, you get your tralrl through in safety, and for a few days' more feed this collective stomach which, otherwise would have starved, how much, glory awaits you? Well, search our pictorial military an nals and aee how much of tho oomn. cir cumstance and sensation of war you find illustrated about a wagon train. But society would tumble to pieces today without cooks, kitchens and beef cutting men with white frocks and cleavers, and all the epaulettcd figures on boj-sebaok about an army dwindle down, man and beast, to very 'poor critters' in a very few hours if they've no crackers to nibble on or hay to chew.
