on where Mr. S. lives. If he is very

The information that “cholera
hogs” are utilized in making lard
should not discourage consumers.
It ia better for lard porkers to die
off suddenly that to depart with some
lingering disorder. No doubt a hog
that gradually perished from a set
tied melancholy would be rejected
by the lard makers.
It would be well for the Demo
crata of the different oonnties in
Georgia to give specific instructions
to their delegates to the State Con
vention to send no representatives
to the nation*! convention who are
not in full sympathy with President
Cleveland's tariff views as ennnciat
ed in his last annual message.
Louisville Courier Journal; A
protection organ says that Senator
Joe Brown “stands on the Demo
cratio platform with both feet.” It
has been supposed, hitherto, that
Senator Brown was jumping on the
Democratic platform with both feot;
but it will stay-thore, wbatever Mr.
Brown is doing. A good deal of the
time Mr. Browu is dancing, and the
people are paying the fiddler.
Courier Journal: The Iticbmond
Dispatch says: “There are thou
sands of Protectionists in the Demo
cratio party, and the fact might as
well be recognized.’’ Well,they have
no buBiuess being there, nnd. if they
possessed the courage of their con
viotions, they would not be. They
would go into the Republican party,
where they belong. No man can bo
a Demoorat and a Protectionist. As
well io 1860 might one bo described
as “a Free soil Secessionist,“ Along
with the doctrine of protection.go all
the other isms of paternal govern
meut, which is abhorrent to Demo
cracy. The sooner this is recognized,
the better.
‘‘Trusts” seem, just now, to be in
public disfavor. There lias never
been a more excellent result ol the
overthrow of party supremacy than
the exposure of monopolies in the
relation they sustain to the people.
The protection policy of the Repub¬
lican party is alone responsible for
their existence and insolence. When
ever legislation seeks to aid monopo¬
lies in engrossing the products of a
country, the interests of the people
suffer severely. It is true, as is
claimed, the tax imposed through
protection if invisible, but it strikes
the body politic with etjual forco
that the unseen malaria attacks the
human system, and sows germs of
poverty, that disease which is tho
result of robbing the many to en¬
rich the few.
An Imperative Necessity.
Whst pur# air is to nn unhealthy locality,
what spring cleaning it to the neat house¬
keeper, so Is Hood's Sarsaparilla body needs to every- be
body, at this season. The to
thoroughly renovated, the blood purified and
vitalized, the germs of disease destroyed.
Scrofula, Salt Kbeuni, and all other blood
disorders are cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla,
the moet popnlar and successful spring medi-
etne.
ON THE BUN AT LAST.
* Oar esteemed New York con tern-
porary, the Tribune, reaches the
conclusion, at the end of one of
its hefty editorials on the political
*itaation that ‘‘in general probably
nine Republicans ont of ten have
persond knowledge that free trade
plots of Democrats wonld cost them
the votes of many workingmen.
These men are apt to feel that the
Republican party has but to meet
the tariff question bravely, with n
candidate whoso record is a plat
form, in order to inrure its suer
oess. They may take a much too
sanguine view, but at all events are
nearer right than the half-scared
unfortunates who imagine that an
omDibus load of free trade Mug
wnmps must be placated or all the
fat is in the tire.”
Our New York contemporary pro
mulgated this on the 20th of March.
On tho 21st the Republican cam
paign was formally opened by the
Republicans of the great Republican
State of Iowa, who gathered in con
vention, and after stnbborn wraDg
ling in their Committee on Resolu
tions, agreed 'upon a platform in
which net one word was said about
the tariff.
Is this the way in which the Re
publican party proposes “to meet
the question bravely ?*’
Is this the bugle call of those
“nine Republicans out of ten who
have personal knowledge that free
trade plots of Democrats” are going
to cost tho party in power so dear’
Or is it tho dictation of “the half-
scared unfortunates who imagine
that an omnibus load of free trade
Mugwumps must be placated or all
the fat is in the fire/’ 4
Evidently, wbatever it is, the Re
pnblicau party does not start off
very valorously and agressively in
tbo Northwest in its fight against the
so called free trade plots of the Dem
ocrats. Imleed, if we are to judge
by their action in their Iowa conven
tion, instead of meeting the “plot
tctv‘ at all they had not the courage
to raise their voice against them in
so much as a whisper, but ignomin
iously turn ed tuil and fled the field,
on which prophets like the Tribune
insist that such a glorious victory is
to be won by them.
Th is looks very much like the Re--
publicans are on tho run before the
battle fairly opens. Cannot the
Tribune prevail upon that mighty
warrior chieftain, the Plumed Knight
to leave his idling in the Old World
and hasten home and stay the retreat
of his party,which bids fair to become
a rout ?

Hero is an item for people who pin
their faith to the superstitions con>,
nected with the number thirteen.
For thirteen years Mr. II. H. Wilson,
of Pittsburg, Pa., courted Miss Louisa
E. Wilson, of the same city. For
thirteen years he duded marriage,
though persistently proposing it.
He thought courtship the happiest
season of life. During thirteen years
Miss Wilson saved up the various
love letters from her evasive knight,
and now, at the expiration of the
thirteen years, she sues for a breach
of promise, asking the court to give
her #80,000 for her failure to bring
Henry to time. It remains to bo
seen whether thirteen is an unlucky
number for Mr, and Miss \Vilson.
One of them is sure to join the army
of superstitious people.

80ME OLD MEN.
Emperor William, sged uinety.W.
W. Corcoran, eighty nine, Mr. Al-
cott, eighty eight, and Chief Justice
Waite, seventy one, have all died
this year and these deaths cal! atten¬
tion to the longevity of active and
famous men in all lands.
In America, George Bancroft, the
historian, is eighty seven. Neal
Dow, only a few weeks ago defeated
when a candidate for Mayor of Port¬
land, is eighty four. Simon Cameron,
who was in Lincoln’s cabinet, is
eighty eight. Had Mr. Lincoln
lived until now be would have been
seventy eight. David Dudley Field
is eighty two. General Joseph E.
Johnson a;; ! John G. Whittier are
eighty. Jefft <n Davis is seventy
nine- O ver end ell Holmes and
Hannibal .latiiliii are, with Gladstone
and Tennyson, eighty eight. Presi¬
dent McCosh, of Princeton, and
President Noah Porter, of Yale, are
seventy six. President Barnard, of
Columbia College, is seventy eight.
Professor Dana, Gen. Fremont and
ex-Senator Sherman are seventy
four. Admiral fYrrer is seventy
three. Gen. J Early is seventy
two. Justice Miiler, Justice Field
and Senator Dawes are seventy one,
the age of Chief Justice Waite.
Louis Kossuth still lives, at the
age of eighty five. Cardinal New¬
man is eighty six. \ on Moltke is
eighty sever. Ferdinand de Lesseps
is eighty twc. ’ardinal Manning is
seventy nine. he Pope is seventy
seven. John Bright, Marshal Ba-
zaine and Kinglake, the historian of
the Crimea, are seventy six. Robert
Browning and Mcissonier are seventy
five. Bismarck, Earl Granville and
Rawlinson, the historian, are seventy
two.
This certainly shows great vitality
among the leaders of the Nineteenth
Century. Our times seem to belong
to the old men. But most of them
would probably be willing to ex¬
change fame for youth.
Be Sure to Cet Hood's
Sarsaparilla, my child. See that they do not
give you anything else. You remember it is
the medicine which did mama so much good a
year ago—my favorite
Spring Medicine
Nearly everybody needs a good spring medi¬
cine like Hood’s Sarsaparilla to expel impuri¬
ties which accumulate in the blood during the
•winter, keep up strength as warm weather
comes on, create an appetite and promote
healthy digestion. Try Hood’s Sarsaparilla
and you will he convinced of its peculiar
merits. It is llie ideal spring medicine —re¬
liable, beneficial, pleasant to take, and gives
full value for the money. Be sure to get
