Congressman Amoi Cummings of New York says of Crisp’s eieotlon: It means for the democratic party the attack and not the defense in the polit- cal campaign next fall. It means economy and not extrara gance in the appropriation of the public money. It means a reduction and ( not an in crease in tsxAtlon. It means a surplus and not a deficiency in the national treasury. It means a thorough investigation of the census and pension scandals. It means free woq], free coal, free binding twine, free eggs, free raw mate- rial and free necessaries of life for free men in a free country. It means general and not special legis lation and as little of it as possible iu the balls of congress. It means a prudent handling of the excessive Democratic majority in the house. It means a careful pruning of the ap- appropriatlou bills under the supervi sion of William S Holman, and other watchdogs of the treasury. It means en early adjournment of con gress in the interests of the people. It means the development of the American navy as a measure of defense, on the line laid down by the first demo cratic secretary of the navy in a quarter of a century. It means a restoration of individual rights on the floor of the house of re; - resontatives* It means legislation confined strictly within constitutional limits, and espeef ally no federal interferance with the elective franchise. It means national wealth and pros perity-equal rights and equal privileges for all. It means the election of a democratic president In November next A SOLDIER OS' FORTUNE. A cablegram from London announces tbo sentence of Lochlel Lorimer Gra- harae to three years penal seiritude Grahame Is an Amerimn with a remark able as well as thrilling history. He stoutly maintains that he is a descen dant of the great Duke of Montrose, and his unfortunate end certainly goes a long way to give hit tale the color of plausi billty. He Is a typical soldier of for tune, and in the smoke of battle lie found the keenest pleasure. In Mexico and France and Germany bo bad won bis spurs on many a liard-contesleil field, and in the shook of battle he was always In the 'rout. His sooial career was as checkered and interesting in its way os bis martial record, and ilius trates the versatility of bis gifts. He was a friend of many distinguished men of letters; had seeu diplomatic service had been presented to Victoria and was no infrequent figure In the blaze of the court circles. During the Russo-Turkisb war he fought for the “sick man of Eo rope" against the Russians. This is but an incident in his varied experience, but it Is a significant one. Hla appearance Is distingue and im posing, and he is a walking encyclope dia, familiar with politloal, social and religious topics and conversing with fluency and brilliancy on every topic broached. He had a mania for forgery and it finally got him into bis present distress ed condition. He U an old man now with the snows of seventy-six winters resting on his brow and ere long he will round np bis eventful and enggeetive career and go to the wayfarer's list resting place. CHRISTMAS WEEK. Sunday ushered In Christmas-tide with its bright train of pleasures and blessings, strewn as thick as "leaves of Vallainbrosa." The air is crisp, bracing and charged with subtle elixir that makes the nerves thrill and the warm blood bound; and the pulse quickens, the eye glistens in eager anticipation of ttie season marked with peace on eartii and good sslll toward the sons of men. Christmas bells are rinsing, Christmas corals softly singing, Clear and sweat thslr.voices say, “Christ, the Lord, was horn to-day-" Christmas is coming with its wealth ot softened memories and its golden asso ciations; in the lap of "surly winter” it nestles like a violet smiling In its snowy conch. It spurs the sluggish soul to generous impulses; it’s Ithunal spear awakens the electric current of unselfish affec tion in the coldest heart, and kindles the spark of kinaness in marble halls or thatched hovel. Christmas in Amerlcus will he as Christmas elsewhere; an out-pouring of the heart and soul and a spirit of love, generosity and kindness that will be as pure and sweet as the "first full draught of immortality to a new made angel's ‘thirst ” , A DEAD SHOT right at the seat of difficult v Is arconv pushed by the sure and steady aim of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. Don't fool around with a pop-gun, nor a “Flint-lock,” when this reliable “Win chester” is within reach! Dr. Sage’s treatment of Catarrh in the Head is far superior to the ordinary, and when directions are reasonably well followed, reauita in a permanent cure. Don’t longer tie indifferent to the veri fied clalmi of this unfailing Remedy. The worst forma of Catarrh disap pear with the use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Its mild,- soothing, cleansing and healing properties effect • perfect and permanent cure, no matter how had the case, or of how long standing. It's a remedy that succeeds where every thing else has failed. Thousands of such cases can be pointed out. That’s the reason its makera back their faith in It with money. They offer <300 reward for a ease of Catarrh which they can not cure. It’s a medicine that allows them to take auch a rlak. Doesn’t common sente lead you to take auch a medicine? “An advertising fake ” you say. Funny, isn’t It, now some people pre fer slckucsa to health when the remedy 1* positive and the guarantee abiolute. Wise men don’t put money back of “fakes." And “faking” doesn’t pay.
