The Albany Journal, reviewing the
Pennsylvania Republican platform, styles
it selfishness verging on insanity. The
only two planks worthy of note are those
which demand the continuance of the war
tariff and the distribution of the surplus
revenue among the States. The latter is
worthy of Herr Most.
Mr. Charles Francis Adams, .lr., who

The Illinois militia will have to disband

According to the Washington corre

knowingly underrate his strength.
The French citizens, and the descend
ants of natives of La Bellh France, though
comparatively few in numbers, yesterday
celebrated the anniversary of the “Taking
of the Bastile" by a reunion at that pleas
ant suburban resort, Isle of Hope. Savan
nah at one time had a large French popu
lation, principally emigrants from the
West India Islands, and their descendants
are still to be recognized by their Gallic
names. Years ago so numerous were
those who spoke French, that a fiourish
ishing Masonic Lodge known as “L’Espe
rauce" existed for thirty years.
Pigs with three legs, calves with two
heads, twins and even triplets in the baby
line are not so uncommon as to excite
great surprise, but a child bora with teeth
is the sort of a prodigy to call Rarnum to
the front. The parents of this remarkable
baby are Italians, and live in Amsterdam,
New York. All of his teeth—the prodigy
is a boy—are in his upper jaw, and
hence he can’t do much damage
in the way of biting. The minds ol the
parents have been filled by evil lore
bodings by the strange fact of the teeth.
They ought to be happy because they will
not be annoyed by the child’s sufferings
incident to the usual teeth cutting period.
“The Republican party is not a close
corporation. It invites everybody to sup
port its ticket who approves its objects,
practices and candidates, and the aim
should be to make each of these as ac
ceptable as possible.”— Phiiadelph ia
Press. This is refreshingly frank. The
party would be stupid indeed if it did not
accept all the recruits that sought to
come under its standard, particularly
after the drubbing it got last fall. One
would think, too, after the grand old
party’s acceptance of Mahone, Cash and
Chalmers, that it was quite unnecessary
to intimate that any one would be re
jected. The party’s objects were suc
cinctly defined by Mr. Flannagan. Its
chief practice is “addition, division and
silence,” but as to the acceptability of its
recent candidates there is considerable
doubt expressed.
Distribution of Surplus Revenue.
The Pennsylvania Republicans in de
manding that the surplus revenue be dis
tributed among the States have raised an
issue that may exert a powerful influence
in politics. Their aim is to maintain the
peculiar svstem of taxation which has
been in operation for the past two de
cades. The protectionists know that re
form is demanded. The burdens ot the
people are unnecessarily oppressive and
must be lightened. A surplus in the
Treasury over and above the just needs of
the government is an eloquent argument
with the masses for reform.
The beneficiaries of the tariff are willing
that the internal taxes shall be abolished,
for when these were removed they would
cry “hands oft the tariff!’’ The people,
however, although the internal taxes were
rarely sanctioned only by the exigencies
of war, would prefer that they continue
to lie collected, while the war debt re
mains unpaid, and a reform on import
duties effected. Measuring the drift of
public sentiment the protectionists now
propose that the internal taxes be collect
ed as at present, the tariff remain as it is,
and the surplus revenue lie turned
over to the several States
for the discharge of local obligations.
Should their proposal lie accepted the
barons wHI be protected as at present,
the Federal treasury will be amply sup
plied. and the burdens of tue people will
apparently be lightened.
The Pennsylvania Republicans have
caught the idea and embodied it as a
plank in their platform. The protection
ists have nothong to lose and much to
gain by propagating this doctrine, and
it remains to be seen how it
will Is* viewed by the public at
large. The trick is so transparent,
however, that it must lie exjiosed. The
internal taxes can lie levied and collected
until the Federal debt is extinguished.
The tariff, however, can be modified with
tienefit to the consumers and even to the
protected classes themselves. Reform in
taxation should begin with the tariff, and
every step taken in the direction of lower
import duties is a step towards the con
stitutional system, a tariff for revenue
irrespective of protection.
The Postmaster General deserves the
thanks of subscribers and publishers for
his order to Postmasters respecting news
pa|K*rs and jieriodieols. The Postmaster
General gives Postmasters to understand
that newspapers and periodicals are to
lie treated as sacredly as letters, and for
warded as promptly. A good many Post
masters and their clerks have a habit ot
reading newspapers and magazines pass
ing through the mails before forwarding
them to their destination, and it often
happens they forget to put them back in
their wrappers. It has been suspected
that they sometimes loan them to their
friends. The average Postmaster has
very little regard for the rights of subscri
bers, so far as newspapers are concerned.
After taking a paper out of its wrapper and
reading it be is just as likely as not to use
it for wrapping paper or throw it into the
wa-te basket. This practice of the Post
master is often the occasion of indignant
letters from subscribers to editors asking
whv their paper is not forwarded. Gen
eral Gresham deserves a good word from
the newspajiers.
The patriotism of the Cuban patriots is
at the fighting point again. Gen. Ramon
Leocadia Bonaehea, their chief, who was
lately at Key West, is now in New York
engaged in the often repeated attempt to
fire the Cuban heart. He has issued a
proclamation, in which he says that "the
hour has now struck for the enslaved
inhabitants of Cuba to suffer
sacrifice and gain renown in
the name of independence and
glory.” He talks as if he were in earnest
and closes with the words “To arms, com
patriots!” General Bonaehea is a fighter.
During the years of the Cuban revolution
he participated in over a hundred battles.
He thinks dynamite will bring the Span
iards to their senses and states that ‘the
most approved modern engines of war of
a dynamite nature are being collected
and prepared for shipment” at New Or
leans. We shall see, perhaps, if dyna
mite can do what bullets failed to accom
plish.
The citizens of Montieello, Fla., are
anxious to secure a branch road to con
nect with the proposed Thomasville and
Tallahassee Railroad. The Page syndi
cate, which controls the charter of the
latter road, prescribed terms that are
thought excessive. The Montieello
Constitution throws out the hint
that so far trom the Page syndicate com
pleting the proposed road it is rather
likely that the Plant Investment Com
pany will secure control of it.liuild it and
make it part of the Plant system of rail
ways, which has already done so
much for the development of Flor
ida. Should the Constitution's
surmise prove correct, it is more than
probable that the Montieello branch will
lie constructed, liecause the trade of
Jefferson county would, undoubtedly,
sustain it.
The World has undertaken to settle the
question of Mr. Tilden’s mental and phy
sical condition. The editor of that jour
nal says he rode with him from Yonkers
to New York, and had the very best op
portunity for observing him. He reports
him sound mentally and in fair physical
condition. This ought to set at rest the
story that Mr. Tilden is a decrepid old
man that can scarcely walk or speak. It
is just possible, however, that the World's
story will not lie wholly credited.
Tom Thumb is dead. Three generations
have wondered at the diminutive “Gen
eral,” who at one time was facile princeps
in the scale of dwarfed humanity. A
freak of nature, he nevertheless illustrated
the inexorability of Nature’s law, which
formulated in plain English reads, “He
couldn’t stand prosperity.” The tele
graph charitably says that the “General"
died of apoplexy, but his familiars would
say that his demise was the effect of high
living.
The close friend of Mr. Tilden. who fur
nished the interview to the New- York
Times relative to Mr. Tilden’s position re
specting the Democratic Presidential
nomination, is said to be Andrew H.
Green. Mr. Green is sufficiently in the
confidence of Mr. Tilden to speak authori
tatively. It is said the reason the inter
view was given to the limes was that Mr.
Tilden is not particularly friendly to any
of the Democratic journals of New York.
The Massachusetts shoe manufactur
ers are protected to a degree that makes

forced to shut down for the residue of the
twelve months.
Worthy teetotalers that have subscribed

Disappearance of a Mountain Lake.
Virginia (Net.) Enter/rrise.
Red Fish Lake, above Sawtooth City,
on the summit of the Saw tooth range of
mountains, in the Wood River region,
Idaho, has dropped through the bottom.
The lake had an area of several miles and
was many fathoms in depth. It was on
the summit of one of the peaks of the
range, some ii,ooo feet elevation above
the sea, and surrounded by heavy timber,
which rendered it a delightful place of re
sort in summer for camping, fishing, and
l*oating parties. The lake has been there
since the white man has known the coun
try, says the Hailey Times , but lately—
the day of the occurrence is not know n—
the bottom fell out. The country forma
tion is granite and limestone, anil an im
mense fissure has opened, whether caused
by separation or settling of the earth’s
surface or from volcanic action, is not
known. At present the bed of the lake is
drv, and presents the appearance of a
deep gorge or valley on the summit of the
mountains. This iake has always con
tained millions of red fish, and been a
favorite resort for bear, deer, and other
game. Where the fish went to is as much
a mystery as where the water went.
It would seem as if there had been a
sufficient number of test cases to show

Does Truck Farming Pay?
Though it may readily be answered by
hundreds in the affirmative, that is not
the way to put the question. As well
may it'be asked, does cotton, corn or
sugarcane pay? All these have failed,
and do often fail to give satisfaction.
That our great staple pays has been de
nied by numerous writers ever since the
war. and yet the cotton crop goes on in
creasing every year. Are tacts wortn
anything? The true question is, “I Vill
truck farming pay?” We say it will, no
matter what snap judgments are taken
against it while in its incipiency. Very
few new industries ever paid at the outset;
cotton did not, sugar cane did not, sorghum
did not, and jute will not, but jute, like
cotton, is destined to be another great
American production. Cotton has not
paid alter a fair trial for half a century,
according to numerous writers on the
subject, and yet it has furnished half the
surplus capital of the country. It once
purchased half the lands in the South,
built up, according to Northern opinion, a
powerful “slaveocracy” in the fairest
portion of the Union, filled New England
with factories which alone sustain her
present industrial character, and has
done more to distinguish American agri
culture abroad than all other American
productions combined. Truck farm
ing will write a similar
history in a less extended sphere, though
not less important in results to the wel
fare of the nation. It will go on increas
ing every year without regard to mur
murs and disparagements, for the same
reason that cotton does, to wit: the world
demands it, and nobody can say just how
much is wanted. This great country of
ours, stretching through many degrees of
latitude and longitude, is acquiring an
enormous population with yearly ac
celerated speed, and this population
must not only be fed, but must have cheap
food, which truck is destined to fur
nish in large proportion. Beside, it must
come not in one season, but in all seasons.
No other country in the world is so blessed
with this capability, and hence no other
country can sustain the population tlie
states of the Union will sustain in the
future. Its varying climatic degrees of
latitude, under the progress of American
industry, reciprocally sustain each other.
When the North is out of season the pro
ductions of the South are poured into her
lap in overwhelming abundance, and
when the South is out ot season
the North returns the compliment with an
interest we scarcely have room to receive.
A few years ago this was impracticable ex
cept to a very limited extent, but the vast
extension of our railroad systems has
revolutionized the industries of the whole
country. To them must be accorded the
honor of providing the “ways and means”
for building up the waste places and pei
forining that mighty commissary service
necessary for the daily sustenance of our
advancing host of 50,000,000. And
they have only fairly en
tered upon the great work.
In less than twenty years from to-day the
present existing lines of railway, numer
ous as they are, will be found wholly in
adequate to the service that will be de
manded of them. It is probably this
growing conviction that induces individ
uals and companies, even now, to strain
their credit and resources to construct
lines that neither present population
nor trade seems to warrant.
But experience proves that rail
roads bring population, and
having rendered truck farming practica
ble in the South, they will tostcr it for
their own interest as well as for that of
the public, by such reductions of freight
charges as will encourage the industry,
and at the same time provide fair com
pensation for handling the truck. Cheaper
and cheaper will the productions of the
truck farm grow, as the lands are made
richer and richer by the system of “in
tense” cultivation applied to them, and.
with the skill and knowledge of ex
perience, the truck farmer will
find the business as remunerative then at
lower prices as he does now at high prices
with poor land and inexperience. Cotton
planters declared a few years ago that
they never could produce cotton for
less than ten cents per pound, but they
do, and will yet produce it, perhaps, for
less than six cents per pound. It is now
thought by many growers that rice cannot
be produced in this country below the
present prices, which are considered
low, and yet the rice area is extending,
like truck farming, far into the interior of
the Southern States, threatening in. the
near future to be infinitely more abund
ant at reduced prices. Increased popula
tion. and, consequently cheaper labor,
together with lower freight rates, will
make truck or any other kind of farming
profitable even when the prices of farm
produce are much lower than they are
now.

The Weight of It.

It may help some people to realize how
much silver in “standard dollars” the

An Economic Suggestion.

It would be less prejudicial to the pub

a few hundred thousand directly for the

The Croakers Will Croak.
Kansas City Journal.
The history of the world does not show
a time of equal prosperity with that of
the last four years, when labor in every
form has received such ample reward.
All manufactured goods are lower than
ever before, while farm products are sold
at good prices. Money is plenty and
good, but the croakers will croak.
Confusion Confounded.
Boston Star.
So, under this decision of the law officer
of the State, if a majority of all the voters
should take a fancy to all three of the
amendments. Ohioans will enjoy the
privilege of selling liquor under license,
the sale and manufacture of liquor that is
absolutelv prohibited, and legislative con
trol, including local option. Verily, Ohio
is a great old State, and the g. o. p. is a
great old humbug.
The Effect of Randall's Success.
Little Rock Gazette (Hem.)
The election of Mr. Randall as Speaker
would estop Democratic criticism of Re
publican management of the tariff ques
tion through Congressional legislation,
and largely increase the chances of Re
publican success in the Presidential con
test next year. It remains to be seen
whether the Democrats will play the fool
f or the benefit of Mr. Randall’s personal
ambition and the Republican party.
The Tribulation of an Organ.
Baltimore Pay (Pern.)
Suppose the New York Times tells the
country how it can, consistently with its
views on the tariff, support the cause of
the Pennsylvania Republicans? It does
it, nevertheless, and to the best of its abil
ity. Theoretically, the Times is opposed
to' collecting $“00,000,000 from the people
and then distributing it among the States,
but practically it approves the scheme.
The Times has not the courage of any
body’s convictions.

IS THIS THE TRUTH ?
Another Story About Tlldeu's Condition
—He Actually Looks. Walks and Talks
Like a Healthy Man.
X&W York WorUl, 14 th.
For some weeks past the readers of the
newspapers have been confused by the
publication of the most contradictory and
irreconcilable statements concerning the
health of Mr. Tilden. Oneday they would
be assured in the most positive tsrms
that he was a physical and mental wreck,
another day that he was the picture of
health andvtgor. As Mr. Tilden no lon
ger continues those horseback rides which
formerly attracted so much attention, and
as he refuses’to be interviewed bv the re
porters, the public have had no other alter
native than to guess at the possible truth
amid the varying and conflicting state
ments.
As the health of Mr. Tilden is a ques
tion of deep solicitude and national in
terest, the World has felt it a duty to
keep its readers acquainted with the
latest information relating to it, without,
however, guaranteeing The accuracy of
the information printed in other pai>ers.
In this spirit we printed some three weeks
ago the letter written to the Philodefyhia
Record, in which Mr. McLean's name was
used as an authority, for otherwise unsup
ported statements and Mr. McLean’s repu
diation of those statements. We printed
also the remarkable letter in which Mr.
Watterson described himselt as
worn out by the attempt to keep
up with the activity of the venerable but
unwearied statesman. We published also
the story of the Southern Congressman
given in the Washington Sunday Herald,
In which Mr. Tilden was described as “a
man in the last stages of decay.” This
Southern Congressman said that he had
traveled in the train with Mr. Tilden, who
had to be helped into the car by liis ser
vant and helped to his seat by him: he
was unable to speak distinctly, unable to
help himself, constantly falling into cat
naps, slipping from his' seat, needing as
sistance, needing water and unable even
to step into his low coupe at the station,
into which he was lifted by two servants.
We republished these articles without
guarantee, and also without prejudice,
merely liecause they appeared in reputable
papers and related to a subject which, as
we have said, is of interest to the public.
Now for the truth.
The editor of the World accidentally
enjoyed the pleasure of Mr. Tildea’s com
pany while the latter came in yesterday
from Yonkers. We are prepared to dis
pose alike of the sensational stories of
Mr. Tilden's extreme weakness and of
the equally sensational stories of his
exceptional vigor.
In the tirst place, Mr.Tilden must be an
early riser, as he boarded the train which
leaves Tarrytown a few minutes after 8.
In the next place, Mr. Tilden was not ac
companied by any servant. In the third
place, Mr. Tilden’s walk is perfectly easy
and his figure more erect than that of
most people of his age.
He walked down the aisle of one of the
ordinary cars quietly and naturally. With
his plain straw hat, his clean-shaven face,
he attracted no more attention than any
other of the thousand elderly business
men who come into New York on the
morning trains of the Hudson River Road.
As to his health, we are not prepared to
give a physician’s diagnosis nor a physi
cian’s certificate. But if clearness of
complexion and brightness of the eye are
safe indications Mr. Tilden is certainly as
healthy a man as lie was seven years ago.
His complexion is certainly fresher and
healthier, and his look has no indication
of weakness about it.
The partial paralysis or palsy or nerv
ous affection, or whatever it is, of his
right arm and hand, continues, and he is
probably unable to make any efficient use
of that arm. But as for his going to
sleep or slipping from his seat or needing
assistance, it is absurd. The “Southern
Congressman’s” description is so evi
dently borrowed from Dickens’ descrip
tion of Grandfather Smallweed as not to
need notice.
Mr. Tilden’s voice has not changed
noticeably. It is hardly strong enough to
be heard across the roar and rattle of
a railroad train speeding by the cuts and
hillsides, but his voice was never strong.
When a man habitually talks in a low
tone of voice as Mr. Tilden has done
always, it is a sign that his vocal muscles
and organs are not strong. A low voice
is a type of character, just as a loud voice
is a type of another kind of character.
At no period of his life could Mr. Tildeu
have been a loud-voice speaker like one
of Shakespeare’s “robustious, periwig
pated fellows,” but his enunciation is not
affected in any way, and, except when
his voice was drowned by the noise of the
train, his remarks reached his hearer.
He talked freelv and fluently; whatever
impairment his "body may have suffered
his mind is as clear as ever. His memory*
is remarkably retentive and accurate, ex
tending to trifling incidents that one would
hardly expect him to recall. lie talked
about politics, about the Electoral Com
mission, the dangers of interviewing and
other natural topics of a half hour's ride.
There is no doubt that he still maintains
the same keen interest in and intelligent
attention to polities and to business.
Is he a candidate for the Presidency?
He does not look like a man who was
worrying himself about it.
But we are inclined to think that Mr.
Tilden is not very angry* to hear himself
talked about for the nomination. In fact,
we rather judge from his healthy com
plexion that he could be persuaded to
serve another term.
Joseph e. McDonald.
Some Facts of Interest in the Public Re
cord of tlie Indiana Statesman.
Boston Advertiser (Rep.),
To most people Mr. McDonald is known
hardly outside of bis six years of Senato
rial life, which came to him as one of the
results of Democratic success in 1574.
Prior to that he had a local celebrity and a
popularity which makes him known
throughout Indiana, among the older
men as “Jo” McDonald, and as
“Uncle Jo” among the younger.
His six feet figure, inclining now a hit
to stoutness, the big feet and hands,
his large head, covered with brown ban
fast turning to gray, his reddish face,
smoothly shaven,except for a heavy mous
tache, and his gruff, hearty voice and
handshake, make up a personality which
is know nin every hamlet in that State.
Indiana is proverbially a land of politi
cians, but none of them have succeeded
in gaining the confidence of the masses
more than he. The McDonald family
settled in Ohio soon alter the revolution.
It is now- widely spread through that and
the neighboring States, clinging still
to those stern Scotch Presbyterian
ideas which have always bee’ll
cherished by that clan. Mr. McDonald
was born not quite sixty-four years ago
in Butler county, Ohio, and was taken to
Indiana in childhood. When but a boy
the death of his father left the family poor,
and he was apprenticed to a saddler at
Lafayette. He served three years in that
capacity, studying at all opportunities.
Then he attended two years at the Asbury
University, left before graduation in order
to study law, and in 1843 was finally ad
mitted to the bar.
His course up to that time had awaken
ed the interest of his neighbors, and that
very year he was elected by the Demo
crats'prosecuting attorney for the Craw T
fordsville circuit. His practice had
grown so large that he declined in
1847 to serve longer, hut the next year
was elected to Congress in an over
whelmingly Whig district. Two years
later he was beaten, but in 1866 he was
taken up by his party and elected At
torney General of the State. In 1860 the
Republicans made a clean sweep, which
cost him this place, but not until he
had won a position at the bar w hich has
never since been lost. During the war he
was a consistent Union man, and did
much against the various secret organi
zations which were formed by Indiana
Democrats in aid of the rebels. This gave
him in 1864 the nomination for Governor
against Oliver P. Morton, followed by
inevitable defeat. From that time he
kept aloof from politics for some years,
but was active in opposing the Green
back heresy, anil in 1*75 he was the
unanimous choice of his party for Sena
tor. In the Senate he served on the Judi
ciary Committee, of which he was the
second member when his term closed,
and in other positions for which his legal
knowledge was required. Some excel
lent speeches are credited to him, and he
earned a general reputation for economy
and caretul legislation, which will stand
him in good stead if ever brought forward
for national office. In 18 s l he gave way
to Senator Harrison, and since then he
has held no office.
A Bl>y Hanging from an Upper Win
dow’ by Its Nightgown.
Wilmington (Pel.) Every Evening.
Howard Pierce, a VA year old son of
Benjamin Pierce, of this city, narrowly
escaped a terrible death yesterday. The
Pierce family occupy rooms on the third
floor of No. 506 Market street, and yester
day morning about 8 o’clock the child
was lying on a sofa in night clothes oppo
site a w’indow’ facing the police station.
Mrs. Pierce had her back to the
window, and turned round just in
time to see the child’s body disap
pear. Half wild with fright the mother
tore down stairs expecting to find
the mangled remains of her boy on the
pavement below: but upon reaching the
ground she was attracted by screams, and
looking up saw her child suspended-in
the air by his nightgow’n, which had for
tunately caught on a nail projecting from
the window sill. The mother shrieked
and started up stairs, fearing the boy
would fall before she could reach him.
The cloth was strong, however, and the
boy was rescued from his perilous posi
tion uninjured. After the excitement had
subsided Mrs. Pierce fell in a dead faint
across the w’indow sill.

THE DANGER OF OVER-EXER
TION.
A Stalwart Man Become# Weaker Than a
Child and Then Recovers His Former
Strength.
Waterloo (X. Y.) Observer.
In these days of rowing giants and
athletic heroes flue physical development
is more observed than ever before since
the time of the Athenian games. A man
who shows the elements of physical power
is looked ap to far more than in the days
of our ancestors, possiblv because there
are fewer specimens of well developed man
hood than then. An emissary of this paper
met a magnificent specimen of physical
power a few days since in the person of
Dr. A. W. McXaines. of Waterloo. His
muscles, which showed unusual develop
ment. were as hard as wood. At his re
quest the writer sought to pinch him in
the arms or legs, but found it wholly im
possible. A realization of what is meant
by an iron man was fully made manifest.
“Have you always been so stalwart as
this?” inquired the*news gatherer.
“Not by any means,” was the reply.
“When a young man I was always strong
and active and felt that I could accom
plish anything. This teeling so took pos
session of me on one occasion that I at
tempted to lift a box which four men
found it impossible to move. I succeeded
in placing it on the wagon, but in two
minutes from that time I was unconscious
and remained so for hours, and when
I recovered consciousness I vomit
ed a large quantity of blood. From
that day I began’ to grow weak
and sickly. I believed that I had
suffered some internal injury and experi
enced a general debility, which seemed
similar to the effects produced by malaria.
My back was very weak. I had no appe
tite, and at times loathed food. My lips
were parched and cracked. My head felt
as though it were entirely open at the top
and it pained me on the side intensely. In
six weeks’ time I had fallen away from
208 pounds to less than 170. I was in a
most wretched condition. I was com
pletely discouraged.”
“What did the doctors say about you?”
“Almost everything. I consulted no
less than six different physicians. They
all treated me and none did me any good.
At that time I was suffering intensely.
I could not sit upright, but was obliged
to rest in a cramped, uneasy position. I
was compelled to urinate every five min
utes and I passed over three quarts every
dav. I was not living, I was existing.
One night (how well 1 remember it!)
my wife had put the children all in bed
when the feeling came over me that 1
should live but "a very short time. My
wife and I talked matters all over, and 1
gave the minutest direction as to what
she should do after I was gone. I was not
in a flighty condition by any means, for
the doctor, on leaving town the day fol
lowing, bade me good-bye, saying lie
never expected to see me again,
for 1 was suffering with Bright’s
disease of the kidneys in its
last stages. Within the next few days
more than twenty friends came to bid me
good-bve. Among the number was Dr.
John L. Clark. He asked me what
I had used in the way of medicines. 1
told him. He then recommended a remedy
of which I had heard much, but about
which I was very skeptical. If faith
were an element of power it certainly was
lacking in my case.”
“And so you did not try it?”
“On the contrary, I did try it, and to my
surprise it seemed to go to just the spot.
Indeed, it was the most palatable thing 1
had taken into my mouth for months. 1
relished it.” „
“And did itcure you?”
“Do I look as if it did?”
“Yes, indeed. What was it?”
“Warner’s Safe Cure.”
“A proprietary medicine?”
“Of course. “What of that? I suppose
I once had as great a prejudice against
advertised medicines as any one could
have. When I was studying medicine
at Ann Arbor, Michigan, I used to vow
with the rest of the class that we would
fight all such remedies at all times. When
a man comes down to the last hour, how
ever, and bids his wife and friends good
bye, such bigoted prejudices as these all
vanish, I can assure you, and any remedy
that can cure is gladly welcomed.”
“And how have you been since then?”
“As well—or better, than before.”
“Do you still exert your strength?”
“Certainly. But 1 do not ocer-exert,
as formerly. My strength is increasing
every day,"and my health is number one.
1 know ’ that mv* life was saved by
Warner’s Safe Cure, and I believe it is the
best medicine that was ever compounded
by any chemist or physician. I am
willing the doctors should sneer at me for
such a statement if they choose, but I
have proven itsjtruth, and [am fprepared
to stand by it.”
The above experience should be of great
value to all who are suffering. It shows
the deceptive nature of this terrible mala
dy ; that all symptoms are common to it
and that there"is but one way by which it
can be absolutely avoided.
ENGLISH PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Extraordinary Receipts and Expendi
tures of Our British Brethren.
Philadelphia Ledger.
The usefulness and activity of the As
sociated Press, that is ol a union of news
papers to gather and disseminate news,
are not limited to the organization in this
country. English newspapers also have
their “association,” and the recent report
of the fifteenth annual meeting of one of the
companies organized for news purposes,
gives a flattering account of its condition.
It has 1,122 shares, owned by 189 news
papers and it has 131 subscribing news
papers and 84 clubs and news rooms not
shareholders. The revenue for 1882 was
nearly $300,000j a gain of over $20,000 for
the year, while the expenditures, in
creasing about the same amount, were
withing a few thousand dollars of the in
come. The profit was about 10 per cent,
on the capital of nearly $40,000. Avery
handsome reserve fund, about $25,000, is
safely invested, and this is to be increased
every year that the profits will justify it.
There "are at least four distinct classes
of news in England—lteuter’s Telegraph
Company for foreign news, the par
liamentary reports, sporting news,
a characteristic English specialty, and
general items. Reuter’s Company
receive $35,000 for its share, the post
office, which has a monopoly of transmit
ting telegrams, got $150,000 and corres
pondents $75,000. The war in Egypt and
the novelty of an autumn session of Par
liament were the two great events of the
year, which added largely to the business
of the association. "With its growing
prosperity, the company has established
an insurance and endowment fund for its
employes, thus adding another induce
ment to good service. The directors of
the company represent the leading pro
vincial newspapers, Manchester, Birin*
ingham, Newcastle, York, Dublin, Don
caster, Bristol, Stamford and Leeds thus
receiving recognition. The work of the
association shows how thoroughly news
paper organization is understood in Eng
land.
A Change in Southern Journalism.
Baltimore Sun.
A marked change is also apparent in the
style of Southern journalism. There are
fewer personalities indulged in, the news
papers in nearly all the great cities reso
lutely avoiding this sort of verbal assault
upon individuals. They know—what a
few of our contemporaries at the South
have still to learn—that vituperation is
not argument, and that those who are
most fertile in the use of epithets are very
apt to be those who are most deficient in
the true appreciation of the duties and re
sponsibilities of journalism.
