C, JULY 28. 1893. n the words of an exchange John Sherman is still roaming about trying to deposit his financial off spring on some Democratic door step. Iowa is a prohibition State, but prohibition does not seem to pro hibit, for it is said the thirsty deni zens of that sovereignty consume annually 820,000,000 worth of beer and benzine. It is said that if the 1,400,000,000 people on the earth were colonized in Texas, and divided into families of five, each family would have room for a house, with a five acre lot thrown in, aud there would still be 50,000,000 acres for cabbage gardens. A Russian doctor comes to the front with the discovery of what he pronounces a sure cure for leprosy. His principal ingredient is whey from the milk of the sheep. This should make the Third party take even more kindly to the sheep. If the whey holds out it may yet be saved. An Ohio bachelor is getting to believe in dreams. He dreamed hf had a wife and seven (lucky number) children, and when he opened his door in the morning found a child nicely tucked in a basket. He is now expecting the wife and remain ing six children to come along in installments. It is said that the Sioux war of 1852 started out of the killing of a white man's cow by an Indian. The Indians offered to pay for the cow but the offer was refused, and to teach them a lesson the soldiers sent out fired upon the Indian camp, and then a racket began which cost the Government between $15,000, 000 and $20,000,000. It is said that President Cleveland has had made, by one of the most competent officers of the govern ment, a thorough canvass of both houses of Congivss on ihe silver question. The conclusions reached by the President's canvasser point to a "long and exciting and bitter contest in both branches of Con gress. The eventual repeal of the bill may be brought about but not promptly. The extra session will doubtles run into the regular sesr sion without an agreement on this disturbing qusstion WORK FOR THE EXTRA SESSION. The calling of the extra session of Congress meets with grest favor. Secretary Gresham says it was needed. So said the more far seeing newspapers. It is a pity it was not even called earlier. That the Congress must first attend to the finances is apparent; They are ko distressed and complicated, and require such immediete doctoring that they must first; receive the un divided attention of the members of both Houses and both parties. High patriotism will dictate to all that it is no time for a display of mere partisanship. It is an occa sion demanding the greatest wisdom and broadest possible patriotism. Men should lift themselves above the mere dictates of party, and deal with the financial question that con cerns all parties alike and the whole country in a spirit of broadest na- t'onali and most conspicuous un s Ifishness and wisdom. If this is done it will be well and nobly done. The Congress will have to grapple with - questions other than the finances. The Democratic party must take hold in ldead earnest" of the huge tariff tax question. The Democrat who shirks here should die the death of a political dodger and trickster. No man may ever hereafter be trusted who fails his party in this crisis in the very teeth of solemn pledge and reiterated as sertion that the vile, unequal, un just, unreasonable, unconstitutional McKindley Republican Tariff tax shall come down, with a vengeance. "INSTANT IX SEASON." For twenty-eight-years we have been fighting bad politics nr North Carolina. We have been doing our very utmost against the Republi can party ever since it was organiz ed in North Carolina. We have never voted for a Republican; we have never dallied for an hour with its principles. We have opposed it from the first because it Was the enemy of the South, the jeneiny of a genuine democratic, republican Government regulated and limited by constitutional law. It has been for a Strong Government from its very beginning. We have anta gonized this party of destruction not for a few weeks, in every four years, or m every two years, accord ing as we might seek office. We haye fought it from the first of January to the last of December, and for nearly three decades. It has been no little spouting business with us. We have been instant in season and out of season trying to teach sound, safe principles of Government such as the great Demo crats in the past have held and taught. We have written, we sup pose, matter enough in behalf of Democracy if printed in 400 page duodecimos to make thirty volumes, perhaps much more than that. Con trast such unbending fidelity and devotion to Democratic principles and measures with your time-servers, your political limber-jacks, your fellows of easy political virtue. There are many men who like office, who seek office, who live upon office. Every four years they will go about the State haranguing the people their speeches made up mainly of what the newspapers have furnish ed all through the years, and then after such tremendous, utterly un selfish sacrifice, they do "rest from their labors.'1 Thev retire to their holes until another four years roll around, or are rewarded with office. If perchance a "pone of bread1' has hit them fairly they soon swell into enormous consequence, are written down as "the leaders,11 rise superior to all criticism of official conduct and think themselves "biger men,11 as the Texan said, than the people who feed them. A fact perhaps, but something farcical withal. The men of the last campaign who "orated11 are silent arid have been since November. The watch men on the towers of liberty and co n stit u tio n al Govern men t th e faithful men of the Press are still guarding the citadel and holding up true Democracy. Some of them as they deserved, have got office. We wish them well in it. Linker's Alliance, of Lafayette county, Miss., held a meeting a few days ago, at which the following resolution was adopted: "That we will try to make our sub-treasury at home and try to store it with corn, hay, oats, fodder, pork, patatoes, peas, cabbage, turnips, onions beets, rice, parsnips, molasses, pinders, and then if we have any time left we will put in one or two bales of cotton, and we advise our brethren to do the same. We believe that this is the only way that we will ever have a sub-treasury that will be of any use to us as farmers." WORKING ITS FOB POLITICS There are two classes of men in this country who take a 'ghoulish satisfaction in the present financial disturbances, and rejoice in the dis asters they witness because they think they see in them some advan tage to the parties to which they be long, says the Star. The small calibred captain in the Third party claps his hands in glee when he reads of banks suspending and of industries stopping, exclaims "We told you so,11 and says the Demo cratic party is responsible. Let the crash go on for in the end his party may come out on top. - That's about the size of these fellows, who would see the country at the devil if there was a prospect of their gaining any thing by it. The others are the leaders of the Republican party, who nurse the hope that the financial agitation may float their party into power again. While the majority of them are prudent enough to conceal the satis faction they feel at the task with which the Democratic administra tion is confronted to trj'ing to ad just the financial balance, restore the equilibrium and confidence again, some of them are not so prudent, and publicly counsel the Republi cans to keep hands off, let the Demo cratic party wrestle with this ques tion, while the will stand ready to take any advantage that may come to them in the course of the adjust ment. Out of 175 replies received l37 the New York Literary Digest to an in quiry concerning the Sherman act, addressed to leading daily news papers throughout the country, 125 journals favor unconditionally the repeal of the act, while six favor the repeal of the silver-purchase clause only. There are 27 which favor the repeal of the act, provided free and unlimited silver coinage be substituted; 10 are willing it should "go," provided some pet measure (generally providing for increased volume of currency) be substituted. and one is undecided. Those who unconditionally oppose the . repeal of the act number six. Tlie I'osmopolftan. The midsummer Cosmopolitan, the first at the new price of 12J cents per copy, though unchanged in size, excels any other issue of that magazine in the number of its dis tinguished contributors, in the in terest of its contents and in its ovei- flowing illustrations by famous artists. Francois Coppee, William Dean Howells,Bamillie Flammarion Andrew Lang, Frank Dempster Sherman, II. H. Boyesen, Charles DeKaj, Thomas A. Janvier, Colonel Tillman, Agnes Repplier, and Gil bert Parker are a few of the names which appear on its title page. Three frontispieces, all by famous artists, furnish an unusual feature, and among the artists who contribute to the 119 illustrations adorning its pages, are Laurens, Rein hart, Fenn, Toussaint, Stevens, Satinier, Fitler, Mean lie and Franzen. The mid summer number is intended to set the pace for the magazine at its new price of 12 J cents a copy, or $1.50 a year. The magazine remains unchanged in size and each issue will be an advance upon its prede cessors. Literally, every known country is being ransacked for material in the hope to bring The Cosmopolitan forward as the leading magazine in the world. Attention Farmers.

The New York World announces authoritatively the immediate policy of President Cleveland and his ad ministration in regard to the ap proaching special session ot Con gress. Briefly it will be as follows: "1. Silver reform by the abso lute and unqualified repeal of the Sherman law. "2. Tariff reform, to be prose cuted in accordance with the pledges of the party as soon as, but not be fore, the finances of the country pro nnrcmi ni-n afnKlf "Mr. Cleveland is annoyed and exasperated at the unexpected inter ference with his tariff-reform plans, but he is not discouraged. He pro poses to meet the silver question in the same ; open, straightforward manner that has characterized his handling of tariff matters. REPEAL AT ONCE. I "President Cleveland's advice to the coming special session of Con gress will be lor the repeal at once of the Sherman silver law. "lie believes that any complica" fcion ot this issue with amendments, substitutes or similar propositions, will be detrinieiii ; to the purposes of the repealing act, which are not so much for working any instant change in the financial .vy -. in of this country as for the restoration of business confidence throughout the land TJTE SENATE WILL MAKE TROUBLE. "From the information at his command Mr. Cleveland has no doubt that his policy will be adopt ed by the House of Representatives after discussion and consideration. It is in the Senate that the trouble will come. "What will follow repeal is a matter that will not be injured into the present fight if the administra tion has its way. That further financial legislation will be needed the President considers probable, but what its nature shall be is a mat ter for future determination. "The first thing to be done is to clear the ground. When that is done the question of construction can be considered upon an intelligent basis.'1 For Years, 33 Says Carrie E. Stockwell, of Chester field, N. H., "I was afflicted with an extremely severe pain in the lower part of the chest. The feeling was as if a ton weight was laid on a spot the size of my hand. Dur ing the attacks, the perspiration would stand in drops on my face, and it was agony for me to make sufficient effort even to whis. per. They came suddenly, at any hour of the day or night, lasting from thirty minutes to half a day, leaving as suddenly; but, for several days after, I was quite pros trated and sore. Sometimes the attacks were almost daily, then less frequent. After about four years of this suffering, I was taken down with bilious typhoid fever, and when I began to recover, I had the worst attack of my old trouble I ever experienced. At the first of the fever, my mother gave me Ayer's Pills, my doctor recommending them as being better than anything he could prepare. I continued taking these Pills, and so great was the benefit derived that during nearly thirty years I have had but one attack of my former trouble, which yielded readily to the same remedy."
