In . ni her 'words both sides will fight to carry the conven tion, and will accept the de cision of the convention. Another ifason why the democratic party looks like a winner may be found in existing republican dissen- sion. The republican party - in the great states of Penn sylvania, Ohio and .N. Yi, is divided into two bitterly hos tile camps, warring, not' for , a principle, but for the su- premacy of persona! bosses. Ohile democrats are hard ly sanguine enough to expect the fight between the Quay find anti-Quay factions in Pennsylvania to result i n the electoral - vote of that state being cast for the dem ocratic candidates, they cer tainly have goo 1 reasons to hope that the wrangling Jbe tween the followers of Forea ker and those of Sherman and McKinley, in Ohio,1 and - of Piatt and nnti-Platt Re publicans In New York will result in landing both of these States in fie Democrat ic column next year. y Secretaries Smith,Morfon and Herbert are jutat pre , ent the big three, they being the only members of the cab inetnow, in Washington.

Every one who is at nil fa miliar with the different phases of official lifein Wash ington has noted the air of proprietorship which in as sumed by many of the Jien who are employed in jthe al leged scientific branches of the government. The men draw salaries running from $2,000 to $0,000 a year, ond have been in office, from ten to forty years, and are most ly well-to-do and some of them actually rich. The ma jority of them come and go when they please and spei-d more tithe, working for pri vate parties than they do working for the government; They have wuccee-ied fairy well in the pant in muzzling criticism hy calmg the crit ics ignorant and acush.ft them of being unable to ap- ureciale or understand the importance of the work done by the scientific employees of the government, but that cry is beginning to fail and criticisms are becoming more freqiient. liut to return to those lame duck tint .their spluttering. In accordance with authorit.v conferred by the last CongresH, General Dnffield, Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Bar vey, he.s reorganized that bureau. He dropped six employees, two of whom had been in office forty years, and they and all their numerous social connections have be gun to yell as though some body had pulled the plug out of the bottom of the world and that the whole business would be settled on the mud dy bottom of obliyion in a few hoars. The scientific branches of the government are thoroughly alarmed to discover that their employ ees do not own the whole outfit. But. the government still lives, and General Duf field has no idea ot apolo gizing to or of reinstating anybody. He believes the change made were for the good of the 'service, and he ought to know. - - Last Jun'Dick Crawford brought his twelve-months old child, suffering from in fantile diarrhoea, to me. It had been weaned at 4 months old and had always been sick ly. I gave it the the usual treatment in such cases but without benefit. The" child kept giowing thinner until it weighed but little more than when born, or ' perhaps ten pounds. I then started the father 10 givingChamber Iain's Coin, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy.

W. Smith preach ed a very unjquesermon from the twenty-first chapter of Hevelations. . r T h e sermon was a reply toan editorial that appeared in the Messen ger n Sunday or two Hgo as to the size of the heavenly city. The calculation in the sermon wero Vvr.y ponderous, of course, an.i staggered the imagination in their tinmen sity The conclusion was that there will be a room for every inhabitant of earth 19 feet square, with a surplus sufficient to accommodate the peop'e of eleven thousand jvoiid as big as this." We. are coy about figures of any hort these days, fear ing lest we run up on 16tol. In the' foregoing there is noth ing to suggest thecoinage ra tio, bit-t we have the highly interesting stacemenl that there will be a room in heav en "for every inhabitant of earth nineteen feet square" We assume that there will be rooms also for inhabitants of lesser size, though we wish the Rev. Mr. Smith had been i little more explicit upon this point.- -Charlotte Obser ver. News and Observer: Some lays ago we printed a state ment that the Populists in a certain county in Mississippi had abandoned their organi zation and had joined the Democratic ticket. A tele gram to the New Orleans Times-Democrat conveys the intelligence that the Popu lists of Madison county had done likewise, having "deci ded to abandon their prty, horse, foot and dragoon and pledged themselves to vote the Democratic ticket entire both Stat and county." -The March liumber of the ''Church in China," contains some extracts from an artic le on "Medicine in China," by Dr. Ruvoong, a Chinese gen tleman who rec. ived hismed ical degree in the Uity of New Yoriclle says medicine, as practiced by the Chinese, is in a deplorable state.

Nelson, who is in the drug business, nt Kingville, Mo., has so much confidence in Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy that he warrants every bot tle and offers to refund the money to any customer who is not satisfied after using it. Mr. Nelson takes no risk in do ing this because the remedy is a certain cure for the dis eases for which it is intended and he know it. It is for sale by nil dmggifts.. ...V.. , Horth Okrolink.

The battle of Buena ViHta wns Gen. Taylor's last engagement dui ing the war, but it had turn ed bim into a hero. It was also the means of bringing about a family reconciliation. In 183 Jeflersouuavis, a Laeut. uen. m Ta.ylor,s army, had won the love of the general's oldest daughtrr Sarah. The father not lwing fa vorable to the marriajre, the young :oiiplo eloped. (Jen.

We don't core how loud the howling waxes. The peo ple are beginning to. feel the devilment perpetrated by the crowd for whom they let down the bars last year.

' ReckU-NS Tliougnifhllessncss, The judge of a western court, in order to secure a sa fer and more civilizd condi tion ot affairs in the court room, asked the twelve jury men and the ten lawyers pres ent to place their pistols in a oile in the corner of the room, but there seemed to be some hesitancy in comply ing with the request, and the judge insisted. "If your honor will put his down first' suggested the.fore man of the jury, guess the balance of us will follow suit. "I'ertninly, gentn." replied his honor, and laid his gun down in the corner. In a few minutes all the othecs had done the same, ex cepting the sheriff and his deputy, who was not includ ed, and twenty pistols were reposing peacefully on the floor. ' Now gents," said his hon or, suddenly whipping out a gun, "the first man that goes near that pile gets it in the neck."
