George B McClelian, died at- liis home, in New Jersey, on Thurs­ day morning last, Oct. 29th. He was the last of the survivors of the officers who at different time6 commanded the army of the Potomac. McClelian was first to serve. His immediate succes­ sor in the field was Bumside, who |j | turn gave way to Hooker; he to Meide, and Meade to Grant. Meade remained in nominal command of the Army of Potomac until the close of the war but during the last year lie was under the Immediate supervision and com­ mand of Grant. Suicides are becoming too fear­ fully common in this country. Whether the age is becoming more weak-minded W cowardly, it is hard to say. but..when a man sees reverses 6taring him in the face, fails in some cherished plan, or is detected in some horrid crime, his first ought is self-destruction. It certain- more rawardly to end one's exist attW under what plea, than Utwe however threatening Suicide, they think, Is an fay of ending one's troubles, and everjrf person has a morbid vein that they eau excite and work on until fancies at first repulsive become fas­ cinating, and it is almost impossible to suggest.

Logan vss here on Wed­ nesday night on his way to St. Johns, bury, 1 asked hnu what In the world was taking hiru up to Venn on J. Hi* reply was that he didn't know, except he had been invited by Senator Ed­ munds and evet-y G6reriior|' the state ever h:id who was still alive, and all prominent men of the state as well.-- "it is uot a stale where the soldier ele­ ment gets any recognition," said the General, "and that is one reason why I am going up there. This is a' sol­ diers fair,'as 1 understand it. It inn)' do the boye some good to have me go there and wake up the feeling that the men who foug!it the battles of the courttry ar-fc entiled to share in the honors of civil life. "Yes," continued the General in response to my inquiry about his political speeches in New York, "I am to make three speeches here. They will "be Republican speech­ es too. The cry about the bloody shirt does not appal me in the least. I have heard it before. It has, been talked in a great many forms first and last in my day., "TheSouth only wants to.'be let alone," was one of the earliest forms In which i heard it.-- There are some Uepiiblicans who think that this is the ti ne to^ drop Republi- can talk and cover the Administration with praise. All I have to sny abotxi^ the Administration will be in Die di­ rect jon of gliowing its utter hlfrocrisy. Why, if everything tiiat was charged and assented against Blaine in the matter of his letters was absolutely true, his transactions would not have begun to :>e as infamous as this tele­ phone matter in the Department of Justice. This affair js a hundred times more monstrous. I do not pro­ pose to be silent on that point, or to be silent about the Roach matter, or to be silent about the foreign mails, or any"other of the points in -which the Administration has made such terrible mistakes and fatal movements. In other words 1 shall make a Republican speech." i- A Free Prfeu. fh§f>e*Wng of the nominations for Commissioners for Cook coflnty by the Republican county convention of Oct. 21st, the Chicago Journal says editor!- ally: The Journal owes It to common de­ cency, to the beet interests ot Cook county and to the honor and fair fame ot the Republican party, to repudiate, - In the name of tint party, and in the most emphatic manner, the very unfit nominations made by yesterday's coun­ ty convention The controlling agency in that convention did not in any prop< er sense represent the Republican par ty, but, on the contrary, it openly ig nored and defied the known wishes of the party. The Chicago Tribune is eqnally em­ phatic in condemning the action of the convention, but the Inter Ocean, after catchiug its breath, an J finding no . charges of gross dishonesty are filed against any of the nominees, is giving the ticket a mild support. In the mean time one of the nominees withdraws on the ground th.at some other person Can get more votes than he can, show­ ing that the protest is nqj wholly 'wlfiout effect. • This leads us to remark that in some county conventions ' 'the controlling agency * * does not in any proper sense represent the Republican party," but openly ignores and defies the wish­ es ol the pirty. Now, in such a case, if a country editor, thoroughly conver­ sant with all of the facts, veutures to denounce and "repudiate" the action of . the convention he Is set down as a bolt­ er by the city papers, though they have but a very Imperfect knowledge of the case. We do not condemn the city papers for preferring to see cor­ rupt Democrats in power rather than to aid corrupt Republican. Purity is the first essential, without which party Success is the worst kind of failure* There are many evils to be corrected from time to time, and they can only be accomplished by a freedom of tfie , press which, at times, will cause timid > men to falter.--Ottawa Republican, X$k. §SrA dentist aJvised a man to have a tooth taken out, assuring him that if lie inhaled gas he would teel no pain. ^ **What U the effect the gas?" asked ; the man. •'It makes you insensible," t said the dentist, "and you don't know | anything that takes place.

Prepared "Cxpressly for the PL VINDEALKR by Our Own UorresponilonTi, CHICAGO, Nov. 3,1895. Eastbnund shipments increased 1.590 tons over the previous week, an J aggre­ gated 36.709 tons. The season for lake navigation will soon be over for 1885. Vessel owners have expe; ienced a hard season, but there is now a little im­ provement in the rates of freight. Ex ports of wheat and flour -from all American ports from Sept. 1 to Oct. 24 were 10.599,000 bushels against 22,- 656,000 bushels for same time last year. Corn 7.200,000 bushels against 2,010,000 bushels last year. The Wiheut move­ ment Northwest, however, is certainly decreasing a little, with indications of falling oil v«ry considerably before long. This will certainly have the de­ sired effect on prices. The marK^t to­ day was fairly active on speculative account, and prices were irregular. The com market is stronger, and prices .averaged higher. The short period that shippers have to ship by water Induced liiem to take UoftTftiore freely and absorb all the offerings. Light re­ ceipts are predicted for the near fu­ ture. Oats are quiet but firm; Rye is steady and barley firm. The number of cvttle to be fed for the winter and spring market will exceed any other year. Native stock scarce and prices higher with a good demand. Prices 25 to 3Gc higher than a week ago. All classes of cattle are 15 to 25c higher than last week at this period with light receipts. Saturday was the end­ ing of the summer packing season, and the number of hogs-packed in Chicago since the first of March is 611.012 in ex cess of the number packed for the cor­ responding period a year ago. A*s the winter packing season is about to com­ mence liberil arrivals are expecteJ. Trade is active and prices are 5 to 10c higher on all sorts, the market closing steady at the advance. The p tcKing houses are in full sway now. Sheep sell a shade higher, with the arrivals n^t equal to the demand. WINTER WHEAT-NO. 2 red 85: No. 3 red 86.

A large proportion of the diseased which cause human suffering result from derail­ ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.' AYKII'S CATHARTIC PILLS act directly upon those organs, and are especially designed to cj^e the diseases caused by their derange­ ment, including Constipation, Indiges­ tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery, aiul a host of other ailments, for all of which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac­ tice, $hu\vs unmistakably the estimation in which they are held by the medical profes­ sion. These TILLS are compounded of vegetable substances only, and are absolutely free from calomel or any other injurious ingredient. A Sufferer from Headache writes: " AVER'S PILLS are invaluable to me, and are my constant companion. 1 have been a severe sufferer from Headache, and your PILLS are the only thing I could look to for relief. One itose will quickly move my boweU and free my head from pain. They are the most etteetive and the easiest physio 1 have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to speak in their praise, and 1 always do so when occasion offers. \V. L. PACK, of W. L. Page ft Bro." Franklin tit., Richmond,Va., June 3,1882. "I have used AYER'8 PILLS in number­ less instances as recommended by you, and hav<fcf$vei- known them to fail to accomplish the desired result. We constantly keep them on hand at our home, and prize them as a pleasant, safe, and reliable family mediciue. FOit DKSFJiPSlA they are invaluable. J. T. UAYBS." Mexia, Texas, June 17, 1882. The REV. FRANCIS B. HARLOWE, writing from Atlanta, Oa., says: "For some years past 1 have been subject to constipation, from which, in spite of the use of medi­ cines of various kinds, 1 suffered increasing inconvenience, until some months ago I be^an taking AVER'S PILLS. They nave •entirely corrected the costive habit, and have vastly improved my general health." AVEII'S CATHARTIC PILLS correct irregu­ larities of rtlie bowels, stimulate the appe­ tite and digestion, aud by their prompt and thorough action give tone and vigor to til* whole physical economy.
