tion and throws out soma Insinu

trie editor credit for. having soaiE
sense, but he has .tried to make
the impression that we are a
blank. We thought he held a
position that would enable him to
give the fact we asked for, but as
he is not informed, on that partic

The BKECKESRipaK-PoLLARD case
now in the courts is a disgraceful
affair. While the. woman did
wrong the gray haired- man did
worse, lie should be kicked out
of Congress at . once and no gen
tlemap should ever vote to send
him back. We do not think the
reports given to the press of such
disgraceful affairs, very good mat
ter for the enlightenment of the
minds of- our ? young people.
.Congress has had a rather spot,
or many such spots, in it for many
years.

There are people all over this

out a lawyer would be a complete

Let every plant be represented

the public crib would then be

Washington Letter.
Correspondence of Covjukr.
Washington, March 19, 1894:
What will President Cleveland do
with the Bland bill for the coinage
of the se3gniorage,now in hia bauds?
Theze is more anxiety among dem
ocrats to have this question answer
ed than has been observable for a
long time. It involves a great deal
more than the mere coinage of 5 V
000,000 silver dollar, for dollars, tor
which it provides. It will decide
whether the attempt now being
made to unite the democrats in
Congress and the administration on
a baa of let-by -goues-be-by-gooes
Bhall be a failure, or a success that
will enable the party to go iuto the
Congressional campaign with a
reasonable hope bt retaining control
of the House- It may also decide
the fa e ot the tariff bill, as lhere
are many democrats in both House
and Senate whose constituents are
more directly Interested in silver
than in the tariff. A nomber of
eastern democrats who did every,
ttdug in their power to preyeut
Congress passing the Bland bill are
now advising the President to sign
the bill, or at least to allow it to be
come a law without hie signature if
he feels that he cannot console
tiously sign it, and silver democrats
who have not been to the White
House since the big silver fight at
the f xtia session have gone to Mr.
Cleveland and urged aa a matter of
party policy that the bill be allowed
to become a law. The silver demo
crats ot the west and south how
numerous they are iu Congress may
be seen by xelerriug to the vote on
this bill in both House and Seuate
.many of whom supported the
administration against their own
convictions in securing the repeal
Of the puichasiog claase of the
Sbermau silver law, gay that the
veto of this bill will be accept
ed as proof positive by thousands of
their constituents that President
Cleveland is unalterably opposed to
silver, and that the result would
certainly be disastrous iu the Cons
gressioual electious. Three mem.
hers of the; cabinet Secretaries
Gresham, Smith and Herbert have
advisid Mr. Cleveland to sign the
bill. It ih believed that the delega
tion of New loi k bankers who are
here asking that the bill be vetoed
ate adding to ita chaDcen of Oecotn
inr a law. iu fact, there hay bern
a change in public opinion within a
week, and a majority now. believe
that the bill will become a law,with
or withoat ihe Prtsideut's signa
tare.
lue revised tariff bill will bv re
ported 10 the Senate this week, and
the debate will begin Monaay, April
2 m This is authentic aod official.
No one can possibly regret th? un.
expected delay in getting the bill
before the Senate more than tbt
democratic members ot the Finance
committee do. They have worfe-d
until tiny almost in a stale of ex..
haastiou, but fresh obstacles bvo
had to be overcome. Since ibe oil!
has been before the full committee
the repabliean.8 bve takes advact
age of every oppoituniry io add to
the'deUy, and owing to the absence
of Senator Vance, tbewe oppon uni
ties have bt'en frequent. The fact
should not be forgotten by critically
inclined democrats that when all of
tbe members of the Finance com
mittee are present the democrats
have poly one majority. With one
democratic absentee tbe committee
is a tie politically. It as the ab
sence of Senator Taoce that enabled
the republicans on the committee
to stave o9 the beginning of the
debate until April 2.

a nnht to feel pioud of the part he
has tatceu in shaping the legislation
of the present Congress. Although
there were several other bill pro
viding for the same thing It was hin
bill for the repeal ot the federa1
election law that was reported,
passed ad which became a law
Auotber compliment has just been
paid the skill of Mr. Tucker by the
House committee on the election ot
President and Vice President aud
Kepresentatives m Congress, which
selected his joint resolution provid
ing for a Constitutional amendment
for the election. of Senators by di
rect yote of the people, although
there were several other ot a simi
lar nature before the committee, to
be favorably reported to the House
The House has been working
faithfully on the regular annual ap
piopriatiou bills aud it has been
making a good record, both m the
quantity of business done and in
the amount of money appropoiaied
every appropriation has been re
duced materially.
Thoughts of Old Time-
Mr Editor I will try to give
you a short piece if ou will allow
me the space in your paper.
As I think back over mv school
days speut iu the public schools it
gives, me a great deal of pleasure.
But times have chahged the past
few years in the public schools. I
remember about eight or ten years
ago, wbeu I went to school. We bad
a jolly good oia time, although we
wouid study some but would not
hurt ourselves at it. At twelve
o'clock we would play the game
known as "bull pen," you bet we
would make the ball whistle
through the crowd and take some
of the boys on the sly. But they
don't play auy of those games any
more It is some new faagle game
now dave. Bat I like the good old
way iu a great many things. We
used to have spelling matches in
ray boyhood days, but that is done
away with now- Now no inote
spelling races as they were called
in those days. They have got some
.thing else to take their ' place. I
cau remember wheu I went to
school oyer ou the hill opposite St.
Maik's charch but they old log cab
in has been torn dowu and you
cau't hardly tell where the old
bouse stood. But . I will remember
the spot. I kuow we boys would
get out through tLe woods wheie
the teachsr could not bee u td
wiestle and turow iccko, boa aud
tight- We would buiiy up iw oue
another just J itae Cortet aid
to Chants JMucbei. We thought
It was jjreat i uu. 1 always nkd it

We would ait around the dxr -to
se who could beat out in tie
at uoou. Toose days u.e teachers
would let the pupiU go ouc ot tne
room all through the day We
would theu nit around tqe door at d
woeu we sw the boy cjoj n we
wou'd give a priug and ligh: io
feel out in tue yard.
i cau mind very well wneo Mm.
M. Radisill kept Hchooi w toe
old Beaverdaui school House. A
crowd of us boys painted our upper
lips with soot aud wuc to ocbui.1
aud had our teacher Jus; raviug
mad. But we did not care fur tint.
But you don't see auy more ot ihbt.
They have quit all euch uifanLejs
i and ate trylug to be men aud wo
men.
I past ihe t-cbool bouse that I
used to go to a few days ago. 1 did
not see any of the old gamea that
we plyed When 1 was iu achool.
I aiopped aud took a ioug chat irith
the teacher aud watched the child
ren piay their fuuoy garnet. I ask
ed them it they kuew how to pla$
"oull pn'' Aod tbey said they could
play it but did net make a practice
of pluying it. I told them that I
would like to see them try a game,
so they fixed up and began the old

A Racking Cough
Cured by Ayer's Cherry PectoraL
Mrs. P. D. Hall, 217 Genessee St., '
Lockport, N. Y., say3 :
V Over thirty years ago, I remember
tearing my father describe the wonder
ful curative effects of Ayer'c Cherry
PectoraJ, During a recent attack of La
Grippe, which aasmned tbe form of a
Catarrh, soreness of the lungs, accom
panied by an aggravating Cough, I
used various remedies and prescriptions.
"While some of these medicines partially
alleviated the coughing during the day,
non e of them afforded me any relief from
that spasmodic action of the lungs which,
would seize m$ tbe moment I attempted
to lie down at night. After ten or twelva
such nights, I was
Nearly in Despair,
and bad about decided to sit up all night
In my easy chair, tnd procure what
sleep I could in that way. It then oc
curred to me that I had a bottle of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I took a
poonful of this preparation la a little
water, and was able to lie down without
coughing. In a few momenta, I fell
, asleep, and awoke in the morning
treatly refreshed and feeling muck
better. I took a teas poonful of the Pec
toral every night for a week, then grad
ually decreased the dose, and in two
weka my cough was cured."
