N. G. WilKtR. _ Instead of replying to this letter the North Carolina imbecile published the personal epistle and made it an excuse lor a second editor al more infamous and venomous, if possible, than the first. He Hist scored the Inter-Ocean, refer­ ring to the editor, Wm. Penn Nixon, as a "desperate and dirty skunk," and con­ cludes with the follow.ng choice bon mot of D&triotism and elegance of mx- pression: But apart from all this our Rockford friend wants the victors to be nin^isBintons to the vanquished. V\e are glad oi this. But let as papjiose the case .u it one holy minute. Who were the victors and who were the vanquished? When the great l,ee in peace and the great Grant in love met under the fi mms apple tree at Appomattox, then there was no rancor and no discoid. Lee knew that impoverished homes and liomea that Aad been putted--every bit of Hour ard every pound ot bacon taken from them--he k,iew that in a surrender it was merely the reception by Grant of a cultured people submitting to the biutal lorcc of a vi­ cious and a voracious North. Talk about your magnanimous vanquished, ana let the mothers go into the closets and bring out the empty gray uniforms--and the tear drops here. Talk al o.u vour vanquished, in all your ardor, but the picture of the North- cm prison hells where the brave boys in gray perished, rotted, and had the worms feed upon them, Mid wiiat does Nixon and his Northern ku-kiux klan care about that? Magnanimous, indeed. We v-ant the sneaks and lousy beg- gart* at tlie North who ravished our women and burned onr homes and plundered our people, to shut their gnat-blown mouths and let the truth be told. And the Globe, which despises this burglary and grand larceny called tne pension system, proposes to sef to it that nirover Cleveland sits in the saddle the next four yeats and slaps all the dirty beggars in the lace. Tlie pension iraud must go. Go, and it should go to the depths o: hell, and Harrison and his hireiiugs should go with it. After the campaign of 1884 had closed. month WHTA BO less than 1,500 hanks failed. According to "Thompson's Bank-note Reporter" fifty banks wore falling each day, and the bank notes of Michigan, outside of that State, were quoted at discounts ranging from 5 to 20 per cenV If the pensioner had been compelled to get a draft on New York he would have been forced to pay 10 per cent, premium, and his quarterly pen­ sion, paid in Michigan paper money, would have been reduced that figure. This is the beautiful system of banking which the Democratic leaders would re­ vive in this country. Tariff anil the American Parmer, Protective tariff is of immense value to the farmer by enormously multiply­ ing the consumers of his products. It is the home market which Is the most i rentable for the farmer. The develop­ ment of manufactures which takes place under prote^t on greatly enlarges this market. Every new industry es­ tablished, every new factory opened, means so many thousand mora consum­ ers ot the things which the farmer hoe to sell. Again, protection serves the farmer by increasing the purchasing capac.ty of the money which he receives for his products. It is of less importance to the farmer how many dollars he receives for his produ cts than it is how many ot the things which he needs he can buy with ihoseidollars. There has been no time iu our history when the farmer's produce would buy him so many of the necessaries of life as at present, and t his is largely due to the diminished cost of manufactured products incident to the development of* our industries under protection.

After loading,a cargo of sugar at Jamaica he Sroceeded on his homeward voyage, lut, contrary winds preventing his progress, he wae for some time kept hanging about near the Havana. While there be was boarded bv a Spanish guarda costa, and, although nothing contraband was discovered, nor was It proved that he had visited any of the prohibited ports, he was, ney<T.Jieless. treated with great and bl'utal'^T'u^liy. He was hanged up at the yardarm to extort a confession as to the where­ abouts of the supposed contraband goods. The halter, however, noi work­ ing satisfactorily, the cabin boy was tied to his feet to add to its efticacy, but the Spaniards, apparently not being adepts in the art of knots and nooses, the boy succeedod in escaping, much to the relief of Jenkins. He, poor fellow, was hoisted up three times, but as no confession could b« wrung from him he was at last released, but not before one of the Spaniards, in his exasperation, tore off Jenkins' left ear, which had previously been nearly severed by a blow from one of their cutlassos. The earwas^then fiung in his faoe and he was told to take it to his king and tell him about it. The coast guards then left, taking with them the ltebecca's sextant and other property tb the value of about £112. Jenkins* story, as delivered to t^e Rouse of Commons, created a great sensation, especially when, after pro­ ducing the ear wrapped up In cotton- wood, he was asked what his feelingto had been while Bo cruelly treated. He replied: "I recommended my soul to ;Uod and my cause to my country?" >»And his country justified his confidence by taking up hiB cause with fervor and enthusiasm, although there were many yrho denied that Jenkins had ever lost "Twi8 ear. and others, more cruel still, who, while admitting his loss, suggested ihat the pillory had had more to do with It than the Spaniards. However, be the truth what it may, Walpole had, After fruitless pacific negotiations, to i»ow to the popular demand, and meas­ ures were taken to retaliate 0:1 Spain.

Mississippi Upon the above classification, the Re­ publicans will need but 25 more votes to elect, the Democrats will need 48. There are 71 electoral votes classified as doubtful, Michigan being included in them, because under the new law in that State, which provides for the elec­ tion of Presidential electors by Con­ gressional districts instead of on a gen­ eral ticket as in other States, her vote will necessarily be divided. The most Bttbable division is 8 Republicans and 6 emocratic electors. The doubtful list is as follows: Indiana.... .T."... IS Michigan.. 14 Montana 3 New York .36 North Dakota s Total ..........71 Now, how can the Democrats get 48 votes out of the above? Even should they carry New York, its 36 votes would not be enough. It would require Indi­ ana in addition; or Michigan's (> Demo­ cratic votes, plus North Dakota and Montana. New York and Michigan's (5 Totes would leave Cleveland 6 votes short of an election. On the other hand, should the Repub­ licans carry New York and Indiana, they would elect, with 26 votes to spare. "With New York alone, they would elect with 11 votes to spare. Should they carry New York and Indiana, they could lose either Illinois or Wisconsin, and still elect. They can elect by tarrying Indiana and Montana, with Michigan's 8 votes, even if the Democrats carry New York. To sum up, the Republicans have at least an equal chance with the Democrats of carrying both Indiana and New York. They can elect without New York, and the Democrats cannot. But how about the People's party? Its leaders are making great claims, but we cannot see that they are well founded. The one Republican Sta'e they claim most persistently is Kansas, because of their fusion with the Democrats there. But It the Republicans carry no doubt­ ful State but New York, they can lose Kansas and still elect Harrison by one vote. But there is just aa great a possi­ bility of the People's party carrying Alabama as there is of their carrying Kansas; and this wouid deduct 11 votes from the Cleveland column In short, it is difficult to study the electoral vote i„nd come to any conclusion other than that Cleveland is doomed to defeat.-- I'olcdo Blade. Mr. Blaine prophetically stated that the settled purpose of the Democratic party of this country was to maintain a solid South at all hazards and to depend upon If the foregoing editorial is a true index of Yahoo sentiment throughout the South, and there is nothing visible to the naked eye which would lead a casual spectator to conclude otherwise, the issue will be distinctly drawn betweon a solid South and a solid North. There is no domain for sentiment to work in, when such vile and rancorous expres­ sions as used by this North Carolina editor go unrebuked It will requ re good witnesses to show that the young men of the South are any more patriot c than the moss-grown reptile who pub­ lishes the Globe and caters to a senti­ ment in the community which will sup­ port such a paper. There is no doubt but what the Demo* cratic soldiery of New York State could nail the lid on the political coffin of the South and bury the remains beyond any hope of resurrection, and probably will if the North Carolina editorial reptile voices the concensus of public senti­ ment, as it appears that be does, not answering a courteous letter ex opt by repeat'ng his original libel and follow­ ing it up with new matter, more infam­ ous if possible than the rot that went before.--Rockford Republican. tin wash boiler, which cost $2.25 in 1880, can be bought now for $1.50.

Wayne MacVeagh has gone over to Grover, and, in searching for reasons to Justify his desertion to the Democ­ racy, falls foul of the silver question in this fashion: "The Republican party ought to be an honest money party, and it would be if it could; but while it demanded in­ creased bounties for its favorite manu­ facturers it could not refuse increased bounties to the silver-producers, as the votes they control were probably neces­ sary to the passage of the McKJnley bill. The poison of a debased currency is making itself daily more and more felt in every channel of business and finance, and it is inevitably driving gold out or the country, and leading us to all the evils of a fluctuating and, therefore, dishonest currency, based upon silver alone." Is the man a fool, or does he think other people are fools, that he attempts to hold the Republican party up as the advocate of a debased currency and the Democratic party as the defender of a sound currency? Is Mr. MacVeagh ut­ terly ignorant of political history, or does he take other people for ignoram­ uses? There Is not a man of ordinary intelligence in the country, exoept, per­ haps, Mr. MacVeagh, who does not know that the Democratic party has been on the wrong side of every financial ques^ tion during the last thirty years, and that at the present time it poses all over the West and South as the friend of free-silver coinage. The trouble with MacVeagh has always been that his In­ tellect is bred down so fine he has no common eonse. Two-seated spring wagon 160 Huggies a*id carriages all redtfeed about One- half.

Inlcrratlnv lo P«n«lon«n A Washington correspondent has been shown the original of a letter now in the archives of the Pension Bureau, wiitten by the United States pension agent at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1&5/, which leads as follows: UNITED STATES PENSION AOBXCT, ) CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 17, 1867. ( To Lester Huyck, Esq.: SIB--lnciosed find £23 Michigan money and 39 cents in letter si amps, it being your pension, less 01 cents off for attorney, post­ age and receipt Also inclosed a blank for drawing your pension next time. I cannot send yon a draft on New York for the reason that none is to be got. The best 1 could do was to i-end you Michigan money, which I hope will go to Michigan. Respectfully, E. HKSSEXMtrtXER. Pension Agent. The foregoing is commended to the pensioners/of Indiana and elsewhere. Here was a pensioner of the I nited States who was compelled to take the notes of Michigan banks for his pension and who was denied a draft on New i York because none could be got. This letter was written f.bout seven months after the inauguration of President Buchanan, when the country was enjoy­ ing a tariff for revenue only and in a To tlie Union Veterans. In his letter ot acceptance Grover Cleveland makes a bid for the soldier vote by devoting a paragraph of hypo­ critical praise to the men who paved the nation in the hour of danger. The veterans know Mr. Cleveland. They know Benjamin Harrison. No amount of flattery by the Democratic candidate or of falsification by his party organs can obliterate the record. The Press herewith presents the first absolutely accurate statement published showing the facts in regard to the treatment of the Union veterans by Mr. Cleveland and President Harrison. During his four years of office Mr. Cleveland ttigned 1,246 pension bills and vetoed 524. I'p to the present time Benjamin Harrison has signed 1,576 special pension bills and vetoed nonec Veterans of the Union, which will you support, the politician who sent a sub stiiute <0 the front, and as President took a malignant pleasure" in adding to his pc nsion vetoes every sneer of which his clumsy wit was capable, or the loyal comrade who shared your perils wtth you, and whose pen has gladly signed every bill to relieve your needs that has come before him?--New York Press. Political Note and Comment. THE Milwaukee Sentinel says that Wayne MacVeagh voted for Mr. Cleve­ land in 1888, and is a mugwump. THE "Ameer of Straddle!own" is the name given by the irreverent Chicago Mall to Mr. Cleveland since his letter of acceptan.-e was issued. MR. DANA, of the New York Sun, has sailed for Genoa, and Gov. Hill refused to call upon Mr. Cleveland. -Such is the new variety of harmony. GROVER CLEVELAND did not mention reciprocity in his letter, so we may understand that what the platform says about that goes.--Buffalo Express. SINCE the outbreak of the Topeka Temocrats against fusion, Kansas Re- | publicans deelare that the only ques­ tion is the size of the Republican ma­ jority. DEMOCRATS, according to the New York Recorder's correspondent, admit that Harrison and Reid will carry Mas­ sachusetts by 20,000, but the Republi cans claim 30,000. IRON puddlers in the rolling mllla 0f America receive $5.50 a ton for their work. The highest wages paid to pud- dlers in any other part of the world is $1.80 a ton.--Cleveland Leader. I-rjis one of the glories of the Harrison administration that to-day all nations recognize and respect this country's riffhts, and wherever they may travel our people proudly admit their American citizenship.--Rochester Democrat. MR. DEPEW does not believe that women are at all efficacious in political campaign work. They were, during the war, he says, because the subjects then, were sentimental. "Now we have come down to solid fact I think it is of little use for a woman to stand upon a platform and talk unon the tariff." - Killed on Railways. In 1891 1,168 persons were killed on railways In the British Isles, according to the report of the British Board of Trade. Of these only 103 were passen­ gers: and more than 400 were persons neither passengers nor employes, the number including trespassers and sui­ cides. The total number of passenger trips, exclusive of those made on sea­ son tickets, was 845,463,668, whic h is 27,719,622 more than in 1890. Accurate returns of trips on season tickets would swell this list. But oil the basis of these figures the proportion of passengers "killed during the year was one in 8,208,- 385, and the proportion ot injured one 'In 624,481. Caving In.

My case was a bad one, and I shall be glad to tell anyone about it who will write me. PHILIP L. SCHENCK, P. O. Box 45, April 25,1890. No man eould ask a more honorable, busi­ ness-like statement. , M,9;. '»-• The Grippe. Medical men unite in the opfttlott that we shall not see the Grippe as aa epidemic this year. It has had its run and has passed away. Its ravages far exceed the death rate of cholera, and there seems to be no way of quar­ antining against it. It is a fact, how- ever, that na contagious disease wiS attack a person who is in robust health. It is when the -stomach is out of order and digestion impaired that the system is liable to be infected by disease, especially by that class of diseases called contagious. The germs of cholera do not attack the stomach at first. They begin their work in the intestines, aad only then when they find the undigested food in which to multiply. It follows then that if the stomach and bowels are cleansed with a mild cathartic like the LAZA> TIVE GUM DROPS there will be NO danger from any contagious disease. These Gum Drops contain no taste of medicine. They are mild and gentle, pleasant and agreeable. They come in^two sizes--the small boxes 10c and the large 25c. Get them of any dealer.
