C FEB. 5, 1892 JPERTIJIEJTT PARAGRAPHS. Culled and Boiled Down from oui Exchanses. Why not send the gripp to Chil with our compliments ? When Uncle Sam called, Chil laid down her ace high hand and th bluff was over. e The late Justice Bradley has sone where there are no 8 1o 7 decisions andwhere there is no sailing under false colors. It makes little difference where the Democratic Convention is held so that a good ticket is nominated and a sound platform adopted. Mr. Blaine appears to have a fac ultv for erettiner ill at a critical times, or else he possesses one of those peculiar constitutions which a crisis always throws out of gear. That those three eminent Demo cratic Senators, Hill, Gorman and Brice, should be personal friends as well as political allies appears to have given Republican editor in the land a horrible nightmare. There are republican newspapers that still mourn because Congress man Kilgore kicked open the door that Boss Reed had closed. Did not the American people, in the election that followed, voice their approval of that great kick ? Hon. Ethel Barksdale, of Mississ ippi, did not make connection with a United States Senatorship, but he has been elected lecturer of the Alliance, and promised one ot the Congressional nomination which the Alliance expects to control. A broken promise is a broken promise turn it and twist it as you will. The last Republican national platform promised one cent letter postage, but its party has not given it nor is there even a remote pros pect of getting it from a Republican administration. A Kentucky girl only fifteen years old is doing successful evangical work among the mountaineers of Tennessee. Kentucky women have always been famous for their beauty and this girl has added preaching to the list of feminine accomplish ments in that State. Wings are at times and in certain places very useful attachments, but they can result in nothing but injury to the majority of the House of Re presentatives, and the Democratic voters have a right to expect una nimity of action from the men they have sent to Congress A young lady who was struck on the head by a snow ball lay two days in a stupor and is now -suffering from brain concussion There are people who should put their heads in the way of snow balls as often as possible, so as to stand a chance of demonstrating their possessing such a thing as a brain. Senator Quay confines his "vindi cation" to Republican judges and juries. Why does he not tackle the New York World, which has charged him with almost every known crime, and has begged him in double, aye, and tripple leaded editorals, to give it a chance to prove them all in court by bringing a libel suit ? Evidently the vindication he seeks is only in tended for home consumption. Massachusetts is trying a festival of the old "blue laws," as far as they relate to Sunday observance. As soon as they get tired of putting themselves to all sorts of needless inconvenience the pendulum will swing to the other extreme. There is a happy medium, reached in many places, and endorsed by a great majority, which should always be sought in dealing with this question. Ex-Speaker Reed says that it will be neither Harrison nor Blaine, but some dark horse. And this reminds one that Tom Reed is a pronounced brunette in politics. Mrs. Lvnda A. Dent is the first woman to be admitted .o the bar in Florida. The code of etincs exclud ing women from the profession was Almost an ironclad one. but she not only made a dent in it but went in with it. Speaker Crisp is to be congratu lated on his recovery from his re cent illness. It is gratifying to note that he was applauded and congrat ulated by the members of both parties on his return to the speaker's chair. It would be a kindness on the part of the treasury authorities if they weuld send some of the new issue of coins down this way, for exhibition purposes if for none other. The prospect is that many of us will never see them any othei way. It is ascertained on the best auth ority that Whitelaw Reid, United States Minister to France, is serious ly contemplating resignation, in or der to resume his journalistic work. The State Department, it is under stood, has been advised to this effect. "Bill Nye's" profits from his writ ings and lectures are said to have been as high as $25,000 to $30,000 per annum. He is only in his fortieth year, has a wife and four children, lives on Staten Island, and has also a charming place at Ashe- ville. The Republicans are now jeering about the "five cent house," because of the passage of Holman's econo my resolution. Their jeers are about on a par with McKmley's and Harrison's taunts about a cheap coat being the sign of a "cheap man." The Republicans made the conditions that render both the "five cent house" and the "cheap coat" a necessity. Representative Holman voiced the Democratic sentiment of the coun try when he said of the Chilian affair: "One thing is certain. The admin istration will receive the unqualified support of the Democratic side of the House is any measures necessary to uphold the honor of the Govern ment," That is the proper Demo cratic position. If the administra Hon has made a mistakes, it can be dealt with after Chili is disposed of. The New York World is authority for the statement that Mr. Cleveland will not be a candidate for the piesi- dential nomination. It was his in tention to write a letter to that effect before leaving for Louisiana, so it is said, but his friends persuaded him to wait until his return from his hunting tour. If, as seems proba ble, the New York delegation wfll be in favor of Mr. Hill, it is not probable that the ex-.President's name will be presented to the con vention. Of all the commanders, North and South, McClellan and Jackson were probably most affectionately regard ed by the men. They were quiet and unpretending Christian gentlemen the Union general more an accom plished man of the world, the Con- ederate more an enthusiast in re igion and war. The American race has produced few loftier spirits than they. United now the two sections can rejoice that the nation has such blood to depend upon in emergencies with which puny politicians cannot deal. Governor Chase, of Indiana, said to a Chicago reporter the other day that he thought the Republicans would carry Indiana next fall be- A fx m cause a number or manufactories had recently been established there and all the emploves would neces- sarly vote the Republican ticket. "Necessarily" is a good word, but t constitutes an admission which anybody but McKinley Re publican would be ashamed to make. 'Protect the manufacturers and they will vote their emploves for protection" is the keynote of the Re publican policy. But there .vill not be enough protective manufacturers in Indiana to defeat the people in borne erirls have erit enousrn in t iem for a whole family. A Welles ton, Neb , mob which went to the jail to take out and hang a man who naa committed a murder, was con fronted by the eighteen-year old daughter of the sheriff, who stood at a window near the door, with a big pistol in each nand, and informed the leaders of the mob that she would make pepper-boxes out of the first men who crossed the forbidden line. She looked as if she meant what she said, and the mob conclud ing she did, retired and dispersed. It is absured to charge the Demo crats in Congress with being opposed to the World's Fair because they adopted a resolution asking: for full information as to what money had been spent and as to what it is in tended to spend. The Democrats are as deeply interested in making the Fair a success as any other citizens of the country, but they do not pro pose to endorse extravagance in any form. Nor do they know or charge that there has been any extravagance but it is jast as well to get all the attainable facts before making the $5,000,000 appropriation that is now asked for. President Harrison should know that there is now no possible excuse or even pretext for failing to attain a peaceful solution of the trouble with Chili. Chili has humiliated herself to a degree the United States wouia never nave done, under any circumstances, however in the wrong; and it would be unmanly in the last degree, and a reproach upon our great nationalitv. not to meet Chili generously and end the dispute at once. The people of the United States want some better excuse for a war tnan tnat a .f resident is a candidate f'oi re election, and seeks to make political capital at the ex pense of the tranquility of the nation. VALDB Gain rapidly in health and strength by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine substitutes rich and pure blood, for the impoverished fluid left in the veins after fevers and other wasting sickness. It im proves the appetite and tones up the system, so that convalescents soon Become Strong active, and vigorous. To relieve that tired feeling, depression of spirits, and nervous debility, no other medicine produces the speedy and permanent effect of Ayer's Sar saparilla. F. O. Loring, Brockton, Mass. writes : " I am confident that anyone suffer ing from the effects of scrofula, general de bility, want of appetite, depression of spirits, and lassitude will be cured By Using Ayer's Sarsaparilla ; for I have taken It, and speak from experience." "In the summer of 1888, I was cured of nervous debility by the use of Ayer's Sarsa parilla." Mrs. H. Benoit, 6 Middle St., Paw tucket, E. I. " Several years ago I was in a debilitated condition. Other remedies having failed, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and was greatly benefited. As a Spring medicine, I consider it invaluable." Mrs. L..S.
