Sbcretaky Lam ah’s health is said to be
better. His Interior Department, per
haps, is receiving better eare.
Thk president lias decided that the
United States will not lie snubbed by the
Spanish West Indies. Uncle Sam may
be disposed to temporize with a bull, but
he don’t mind slapping at a mosquito.
Sam Jonhs has got on track of the real
American sinner ut last; be is in Canada.
If he converts Dempsey and Maloney
and Kno and Mother Mandelbaum, his
glory will be completed.
Tnn will ofJBamuel J. Tilden is to be
contested by his two nephews, not on
the ground of incapacity, but because its
construction is fatally defective in tliut
the statute, while permitting the testator
“to designate the person or persons to
whom he would leave his money, cannot
empower oilier persons to designate
those persons for him." The Hage seems
to have neglected to read the statutes
carefully before putting his pen to paper.
Tins (iritiin Sun lias taken another
stride in journalism and now takes the
Associated l’ress dispatches. With the
exception of the four larger cities this is
done by no other paper in the state.
The Sun is in the hands of a thorough-,
going, enterprising newspaper man, and
it should meet, with the success it so
eminently deserves. It is among the
livest little dailies in this grand old com
monwealth.
M It. CARMKJHAKIi'S CVNMIIACY.
Mr. James Y. Carmichael, of the coun
ty of Cowetu, is an independent candi
date for congress'from this district. The
grounds upon which lie bases the neces
sity for his candidacy are so unique as
to be refreshing. It is so entirely out of
the old rut; so fresh and exhilarating,
that we feel disposed to call attention to
some of its merits, lie wants three ear
loads of specie dumped into t lie fourth
congressional district. IIo calculates that
this district is entitled to about that
amount, and lie will pay the freight ou
it. This is a very liberal propo
sition upon the part of Mr.
Carmichael and should com
mend itself to every voter. It may bo
that he will wait until the three car
loads of silver arrives and pay the freight
from the contents thereof, but it is liberal
all the same. When the people of this
district remember that in the distribu
tion ol' this silver it will be about u half
peck for each voter in the district, and
that there is not another man in the dis
trict, in the state or in the United States
who can secure such a generous distribu
tion of tlie governments’ gold, the neces
sity of Mr. Carmichael’s candidacy will
he made apparent.
lint the grounds upon which he does
not base the necessity for his candidacy
are equally as refreshing. In the lirst
place he does not. claim that the nomi
nation oh the democratic candidate was
in the least irregular or a fraud, lie ad
mits very candidly that the nominee is a
most estimable gentleman and a man of
integrity and ability, lie very readily
concedes that the nomination was a fair
and honorable one, and that he has no
churge to tiring against the democratic
party or its nominee. But he simply
warns to go to congress to see what is the
matter with things at Washington and to
have all the surplus gold and silver dis
tributed throughout the country. Ho
announces that lie has been endeavoring
for several years past to get our congress
men to attend to this matter and they
have persistently neglected to do so,
lienee he has decided to do himself.
In this Mr. Carmichael is eminently
right. If a tiling is wortli doing at all it
is worth doing well.
There is an old saying that “every
sweet lias its bitter,” and this would find
illustration if Mr. Carmichael was
elected to congress. It is true that a
lialf-peck of bright, shining ducats is an
allurement with which every voter in
the fourth congressional district does not
often meet, hut it would rob the State
Agricultural Sbciety of one of its most
brilliant members. No one who has
attended the sessions of this association
have failed to recognize in him one of
its most useful members and one who
commands the attention of the entire
body when lie rises to make a speech.
Under all the circumstances, it will
perhaps he an experiment too costly to
send Mr. Carmichael to congress.
WtrKKIl (IKE AT IIK IT AIV
The New York Times culls statistics
from the Ball Mall Gazette which are
worthy of reproduction. A singular and
significant exhibit of the march of im
morality in tlie United Kingdom of
Great Britain is made in a recent number
of the Pail Mnll Gazette by means of
diagrams, in which the record of twenty
odd years is placed before the eye at a
glance, and it is not a record which can
be contemplated without sadness. The
article in the Times shows that since 18(il
the apprehensions for drunkenness and
on charges of “drunk and disorderly,”
which were reported in that year at 82,-
11)6 in England and Wales, have steadily
increased until in 1884 they num
bered 1118,274. Had the increase only
kept pace with the growth of the popu
lation tlie figures for 1884 should have
been about 10u,000, so that tlie rapid
strides made by this kind of offenses
against law and decency is palpably due
to a lowering of the moral character of
the community. As bearing on the
same general subject, and as presenting
an astounding condition of affairs, the
figures of the nation’s drink hill are even
more significant? In 1801 the citizens of
the United Kingdom paid for drinks
nearly £05,000,000, or $475,000,000. They
should have paid in 1870, according to
the ratio of the increase of population,
about £107,000,000, but thev did pay tlie
astonishing sum of nearly £148,000,000.
Koine hope for the temperance people may
he gathered from the fact that the bill
since 1870 lias decreased to £125,000,000 in
1883, hut this will he regarded as cold
comfort when it is considered that the
natural increase according to population
should have made the sum paid for
liquors in that year hut about £107,000,-
000.
The record of tlie divorce courts shows
also the steady demoralization of her
majesty’s subjects. In 1801 hut 203
petitions for divorce were filed in Eng-
gland and Wales. In 1884 tlie number
had risen to 703, though the normal
increase, according to population, should
have brought it up to only 340. With the
growth of immorrnlity the passion for
self-destruction has also grown naturally,
and while but 1533 attempts at suicide,
successful and unsuccessful, were reported
in 1801, the number had swollen to 3212
in 1884. The census of idiots, lunatics,
and persons of unsound mind showed
70,765 such unfortunates in 1883 against
30,047 in 1801.
In commenting upon these figures the
Times says that in crimes of a repulsive
nature, which show their perpetrators to
he wholly devoid of moral principle, the
increase in the lust twenty years, special
ly in London and tlie larger cities, lias
been startling in the extreme, but it is
not necessary to specify these classes of
offences more particularly. The drunk
enness, pauperism and idiocy to he found
in tho United Kingdom are indications
that the morality of tlie people is declin
ing rapidly. The church and the phi
lanthropists may wisely ask themselves
whether it is not expedient to begin mis-j
sion work at home, and spend some of
tlie money which is now used for chris- !
tinnizing the heathen in reforming the j
outcasts of society who pass under their
own eyes daily.
The stomach of Canada is getting over
loaded with poison contributed by tlie j
municipal boards of New York and other
cities, and is beginning to show signs of
a disposition to react. This is natural, as
any man will find who gulps down a big
dose of arsenic or strychnia. We are
glad to note that the Canadian govern
ment is at last to act naturally. When
they spew out their guests our peniten
tiary gates wil yawn to receive them.
Eci ai i.a lias arrested and imprisoned
a stranger for selling the young men
there eighteen-karat gold rings at 82 a
piece. Some people don’t know a soft
thing when they’ve got it. Did Eufaula
expect the man to give tlie young men
the rings and pay them so much a day
to wear them?
I A YouNn man named Jessup is put down as the
richest youth In Philadelphia. He has an in
come of $(10,000 per year. With the little assist
ance that is being rendered him by admiring
friends he thinks he will be able to consume the
; present ehampagne crop and keop up with the
manufacturers for the next ten years.
When Sirs. Cleveland rides out she generally
lias as many friends with her as the carriage will
hold. Mhe hows pleasantly to those she knows
and behaves generally in a democratic manner.
Philadelphia nearly went craty over Blaine
the other night. The Quakers seem determined
to rush him right into the presidential nomi
nation without the formality of holding a con
vention.
The Vermont legislature is planning to let tiiat
state enjoy the luxury of u railroad commission.
President Tayloh once declared it had come
to sucli o pass that every man whom he didn’t
kick down stairs asserted that he had been prom
ised uu oitlce.
Congressman Frank Uiscock tells a New
York interviewer that “the chief commander in
politics is general apathy. In all my public
career I have never known such an extent of in-
dillerence as there is at the present time. U ex
tends everywhere und elVects democrats and re
publicans alike. Tlie democrats throughout tlie
state have a little the best of it, because their
postmasters act as a sort of minute-men. In
their zeal over their newly acquired offices they
will stir out more voters than under ordinary cir
cumstances. But the apathy is common to both
parties."
Prominent New York republicans are denying
that they had anything to do with tlie nomina
tion of Theodore Roosevelt. One of them says:
When tlie time came to nominate him I went
down on the sidewalk.
Henry George is a vigorous campaigner. He
thinks nothing of writing a column letter and
making live speeches in u single day. He lias
endurance enough for the editor of a daily news
paper und pluck enough for a national base ball
umpire.
Qen. A. P. Hill, one of Lee’s ablest lieuten
ants, and the man spoken of by Lee in his dying
moments, lies in a neglected grave. He was
killed, with a sick furlough in his pocket, at the
close of the war.
The president’s order relative to the perni
cious political activity of federal office-holders
has been modified a little. Federal office-holders
may make speeches after the tickets are in the
field. It is suggested that the republican
stumpers who are holding fat offices under the
general government would do well to draw it
mild when criticising the administration. They
should at least say their meanest things in a
Pickwickian sense.
Politically speaking San Francisco seems to
present a scene of Inextricable confhsion. There
are ten tickets ill the field and others ill course of
preparation.
Some of the Iowa papers are booming Senator
Allison for the presidency with much earnest
ness.

MY OLDEST CHILD'
Now six years of age, when an infant six months
0 d. was attacked with a virulent, maliitnant skin
disease. All ordinary remedies fal ing, we called
our family physician, who attempted to cure it
but it spread with almost incredible i apidity, un
1 1 the lower portion of ihe little fellow r s person,
from the middle of his back down to his knees,
was one solid rash, ugly, painful, blotched and
malicious. We had no rest at night, no peace by
day. The physician did not know then, and does
not kuow now, what it was. Finally,we were ad
vised to try Cuticura Remedies. Without the
knowledge of our physician, 1 procured a bex of
Cuticura a nr. a cake of Cuticura Soop. The ctect
IVAS NIMPLY MARVELOUS,
U ing the two together, first washing him thor
oughly with Cuticura Soap, then anointing him
with Cuticura. From the first application a
change for the better appeared. The doctor said
we hail no further need of him, and ceased his
visits. In three or four weeks a complete cure
was wrought leaving the little <cllow’s person as
white and healthy as though he had n. ver been
attacked. In my opiniou.your valuable remedies
saved h s life, and to-day he is a strong, healthy
! child, perfectly well, no repetition of tne disease
having * ver occurred. You are welcome to make
any use of this you may deem best.
