The whole world seems to be , in
I lengue with the sound-money men
to capture the farmers of the
' . , United States. Not only are wheat
and other farm products advancing
in prices , but the foreign demand
for our corn this year is far be-
• youd anything ever before 'known.
The inevitable conclusion of all
this killing competition , excessive
chargesdestructive discrimination ,
I unwise interference in politics ,
[ over-capitalization to obscure ex-
i orbitant dividends , etc. , will • be
goverment ownership or coutrol of
railways , telegraph and { telephone
lines.
Excuse us ; but does 'Colonel
Mitchell of the Courier still . 'think
that all persons opposed to ' fusion
; , t are either Republicans or anar-
k * chists ? Or has he revised his
I views on that subject to 'harmo-
| , uize with the present condition * of
affairs in his party ? Where is-the
Colonel at any way ?
I t The character and ability of
Judge A. M. Post make hima
candidate that the Republicans of
: * , the state can support with enthusiasm -
. siasm and .in a united way that
- ' " " ought to pull him through the
: . campaign to a decisive victory in
November. The judge has served
in the court of last resort with con
spicuous ability during the past
six years , and is thereby better
prepared for further duty. on the
, supreme bench.
} The Ohio and Iowa Democrats
f" , who made the silver question the
sole issue of their State campaigns
this year are very blue now. The
bottom has fallen out of the silver
j argument by reason of the further
r [ drop in the price of'silver and the
* : | ' further increase in the prices . of
-vj farm products and general prosperity -
! perity , and now they are left with
- : nothing to support their doctrines
or their platforms. It is sad , bnt
the people who took the bit in
their teeth and adopted that plat
form in opposition to the views of
. - J the wisest men of their party must
* j bear the responsibility of defeat.

The sentiment favorable to the
establishment of postal savings
banks is steadily growing and the
indications are that congress at its
next session will bo called upon to
give earnest attention to the sub
ject. The New York Commercial
Advertiser says there seems to be
no good reason why some such
system as that of England should
not be carried out with equal suc
cess in this country , where even
larger numbers of our population
are not in ready access of the or
dinary savings bank. The people
ple ought to have some secure
place , says that paper , for deposit
ing their small savings at a low
rate or interest , which they can
draw out , wlien needed , at the
shortest notice. "They should also
be incited and encouraged to save ,
even in the smallest possible
amounts. What is needed in the
way of stimulus audencouragment
is some governmental system of
taking small savings aud turning
them into the best possible account. "
These are the arguments which are
impressing themselves more and
more strongly upon the public
mind engaging the attention not
only of the plain people , who want
an absolutely secure place for de
positing their' savings aud who
have grown distrustful of the priv
ate or mutual savings bank , but
also of those who see in the postal
savings bank a potent instrumen
tality for inculcating sound money
doctrine. The hundreds of thou
sands of people who would avail
themselves of such a system could
always be relied upon to stand
firmly for sound money. Of course
that private savings banks will
make a vigorous opposition is
formidable , but it is not insur
mountable. If the people earnestly
xnd persistently demand the insti
tution of the postal bank system
; hey will get it. Nor would its
jstablishment very seriously inter-
iere with the private savings banks ,
since the higher rate of interest
; hey would pay would enable them
0 secure the deposits of all per
sons not disposed to accept the low
government rate. Thus there
vould probably be no very great
liminution in the deposits of exist-
ng savings banks as to whose
soundness there is no doubt. The
leposits in postal savings banks
vould be made largpty by those
who do not now deposit their sav
ings in banks and this class is
numerous. Omaha Eee.

CATARRH POISONS.
Catarrh is capable of changing
all the life-giving secretions of the
body into scalding fluids , which
destroy and inflame every part
they come contact with. Applica
tions to the places affected by
catarrh can do little good save to
sooth or quiet disagreeable S'mp-
toms. Hence it id that jjarjrles ,
spraps , atomizers and inhalants
only serve as temporary relief.
Any medicine to effect a cure
must be taken into the system.
So long as the irritating secre
tions of catarrh con tin uh to be
formed so long will the membranes
continue to be inflamed , no matter
what treatmeut is used. There is
but one remedy that has this most
desirable effect , and that remedy
is Pe-ru-na. This remedy strikes
at once to the root of the catarrh
by restoring to the capillary ves
sels their healthy elasticity. Pe-ru-
na is not a temporary palliative ,
but a radical cure , end for Dr.
Hartman's latest book , sent free
for a short time. Address , The
Pe-ru-ua Drug Manufacturing Co ,
