TURN ABOUT IS FAIR.
Shades of Scipio and Hanni
bal! of Sheba and Solomon!
Another of the European pow
ers, Italy, has come to grief in
trying to seize a slice of the Af
rican pie which all the powers
seem to consider fair plunder for
whosoever can capture it. Abys
sinia, whose civilization, such as
it is, dates back to the days of
King Solomon, declined to be
considered a savage country en
titled to no more consideration
than the denizen of the jungals of
the remote interior of that coutU
nent.
King Menelek,an alleged lineal
descendant of the Queen of She
ba, and namesake of that sover
eign's son, proved himself a
mighty warrior in a late engages
ment with the Italian troops,
3,000 of whom were slain on the
spot.
We can pity the poor soldiers
of Italy, sent to their death at the
behest of a heartless government
and an unscrupulous Prime Min
ister; but we sympathize with
and admire the courage of the
Abyssinians who defended their
homes and liberties so gallantly.
Poor Italy! How hath the
mighty fallen! She is ground
down with taxation to support a
war establishment monstrously
disproportionate to her real
strength. She is bankrupt in
purse and bankrupt in honor,
but she is -'united" and her peo
ple have "freedom," though it
would take Professor Roentgen's
most powerful ray to discover
wherein the freedom consists.
CLEVELAND'S STRENGTH.
When the future historian shall
weigh in nice scales the official
acts of Grover Cleveland, twice
President of the United States,
he will deliberately declare that
few public men in any age or
country deserve a more enduring
fame for wisdom, courageous
performance of duty and devoted
patriotism.
During his present administra
tion President Cleveland has
been the only bulwark between
the people and panic and univer
sal bankruptcy. In the most
critical crises, he sits steady in
the boat. The credit of the Gov
ernment of the United States
shall at all times be maintained,
was his clarion blast, heard above
the tempest, resounding 'round
the wolrd. And the public faith
has been maintainad; the national
honor has been preserved un
tarnished; and healthy currents
of commerce again are fructify
ing the land.
In their National Conventions
this summer neither of the great
political parties the Republican
nor Democratic will dare to
condemn President Cleveland's
earnest endeavors to save the
country from the folly of inau
gurating the policy of free silver
coinage at 16 to 1. The Popu
lists will monopolize the advo
cacy, by platform utterances, of
a fifty-cent dollar.
They are almost ready to urge
the repudiation of the National
debt.
The people the great puis
ing patriotic masses, are firm
.believers in Grover Cleveland,
his ability, honesty, and patriot
ism. By no act or utterance
have they been bound to him
more securely than by his sturdy
championship of the cause of
Sound Money. On a clean-cut
issue between Cleveland and
an ti-Cley eland Sound Money
vs Free Coinage the President
and a hundred-cent dollar would
win a decisive victory, and we
still believe that with the masses
of this great country no living
man is as strong as the only
Democratic President since the
war.
There is no scarcity of gold
In the world, although there are
those who base strenuous argu
ments upon its supoosed scare
itv. There is no danger of a
4,gold famine." The world's
product jest year was ?20O,QQO,-
000. This is a much larsrer tro
duction than for any year ever
known before. Even the year
1883, which has been considered
the maximum year, on account of
the eutput in California, did not
produce as much as last year by
150,000,000. It must be remem
bered that the annual output is
added to the existing supply,
and thus each year adds to the
accumulation. In the past three
years the supply has been in
creased f535,0O0,000. The an
nual output of gold now exceeds
by $10,000,000 the average yield
of both gold and silver from
1S66 to 1373.
Cancer
Of the Breast
Mr. A. H. Crausby is one of the best
known and most highly respected citi
zens of Memphis, and resides at 158
Kerr street in that city. .0
Some years afro his wife noticed a
small lump in her breast. She thought
nothing- of it, but it increased in size
rapidly, and soon broke through the
skin and commenced to discharge.
She was at once put under treatment
of the best physicians, but they -rery
soon found that they could do her no
good, and simply prescribed antiseptics
to keep the place clean. Both her
grandmother and aunt, by the way,
had died with cancer, and when ap
prised of this fact the doctors said that
they would not attempt to save her;
that she was incurable. Although the
cancer had by this time become deep-
seated and her health very low, one or
the most noted specialists of New York
then treated her. After treating her
awhile, this doctor admitted that the
MRS. A. H. CRAUSBY.
case was hopeless and further treat
ment useless. "It is difficult to im
agine how despondent we all became,"
said Mr. Crausby, "knowing that she
must die and unable to give her any
relief. I had spent over five hundred
dollars with the best medical skill to
be had, and felt that there was no
further hope .
"One day I happened to read an ad
vertisement of S. S. S., recommending
that remedy for cancer, and in view of
the failure of the most eminent physi
cians in the country, I confess I had
little faith left in any human agency.
However, I purchased a bottle of S.S.S.,
and to my delight it seemed to benefit
her. After she had taken a couple of
bottles the cancer began to heal, and
astonishing as it may seem, a few bot
tles more cured her entirely. You can
probably better understand how re
markable this cure was when I explain
that the cancer had eaten two holes in
the breast two inches deep. These
healed up entirely, and although ten
years have elapsed, not a sign of the
disease has ever returned, and we are
assured of the permanence of the cure,
which we at first doubted.
"As my wife inherited the cancer, I
certainly regard S. S. S. as the most
wonderful remedy in the world, and it
is truly a Godsend to those afflicted
with this terrible disease. You may
be sure that 1 shall always be grateful
to that remedy, for without it my home
would now be desolate and my chil
dren motherless."
The above is but one of many re-
markable cures being daily made by
S. fa. S3. Cancer is becoming alarm-
ingly prevalent, and manifests itself in
such a variety of forms, that any lump,
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and dis
appear may well be regarded with
suspicion. We will gladly send to any
address, full accounts of several other
cures fully as remarkable- as this one.
For real blood troubles, S. S. S. has
no equal. It wipes out completely the
most obstinate cases of blood diseases,
which other remedies do not seem to
touch. S. S. S. gets at the root of the
disease, and forces it out permanently
