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. UKOllUIA NEC l'KII'IES.

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.
