THE SUGAR-CUBED CONGRESS. . Tune "The Old Oaten Bucket." How dear to our hearts is our Democratic Congress As hopeless- inaction presents it to view. The bill of poor Wilson, the deep tangled tariff, And every mad pledge that their lunacy The widespread depression, the mills that elosed by it, The rock of free silver where great Grover fell. They've busted our country, no use to deny it, And darn the old party, it's busted as well, This G. Cleveland Congress, Queen Lilly Congress, This wild free trade Congress We all love so well. Their moss covered pledges we no longer treasure, Wot oftea at noon when out hunting a jH W find that instead of the coru that they promised, TneyVe given us nothing not even the cob. How ardent we've cussed 'em with lips overflowing With sulphurous blessings as great swear words fell. The emblems of hunger, free trade aud free silver, Are sounding in sorrow the workiugman's knell. ' Uhi batik-hreakine; Congress, This mill-closing Congress, This starvation Congress We all love so well. Bow eweet from their eloquent lips to re ceive it, "Cursed tariff protection no longer up hold." We listened and voted our dinner pails empty. The factoi ics silent, the furnaces cold. And now far removed from our lost situa tions, The tsar of regret doth intrusively swell, We ye.-irn for Republican Administration Aud sigh for the Congress that serve! us so well This Fifty-third Congress, This Democrat Congress, This sugar-cured Congress We wish was in well. Pittsburg Dispatch CYNICISM. Cynicism, when considered as a Bterary production, is entitled to profound reverence on account of its antiquity, if for no other reason it dating; very nearly if not quite back to- the beginning. It has always been recognized as a po tent factor in judging mental cali ber and; exposing folly. It being akw of nature that each indi vidual must display his or her in dividuality and that this power cannot be-delegated to 5r usurped by another, it follows, that cyni cism can- never expose the ign - ranee not folly of. anyone but that of its author. And consid ering that all are trying to con ceal then own weakness, it is strange that it has been so ex tensively indulged in, for why should a man expose his own de formities because he thinks he discover imperfections in others? One would suppose he would draw ni own mantle more closely about him, instead of discarding it altogether,, while he tries vainly fco call attention- to his neighbor. What monstrous hallucination must posses a man who keeps firing at people with a gun which Ikits no one but himself? Is it possible that he imagines people are falling all about him while he Alone sutlers and is the only tar get his weapon reaches? Can he not see 'hat it is curved, and while one end is pressed closely to his shoulder, the other points at his heart! Will he never know that the canker about his own heart is caused by the envenomed shafts he has been firing at his neighbors? Will lie continue to sally forth to break lances with other people's windmills, when his own is not capable of grinding corn for the old horse mi which he rides? Will he always find more to reform outside of himself than inside? Is it possible that he can so far forget his mission in life as to dTive the sunshine out of his own soul and prove only a source of annoyance to those about him? Shall he continue to believe him self a reformer, while he is only a miserable wreck of one of God's creatures? Let us hope that he may reform before he dies, that he may turn his magnifying glass from the follies of life to its beau ties, and behold men and women around him with pure intentions and noble impulses, while his own soul is filled with a light which shall disclose rainbow tints all around him. The populist governors will all go out as rapidly as the people can get at them. Pennoyer simply goes early and avoids the rush. Kansas City Journal. Undoubtkdly the sugar schedule is put into" the tariff bill for pay ment of a political debt. From the sugar ring came the demo cratic .campaign and corruption fund in 1892. The country will ring with this, as with other acts of the party in power, during the j coming elections. VALEDICTORY. Commencement week! It is a time for festivity. Its name is suggestive Gf a whole troupe of pleasant themes competition, re ward, rest, vacation, boqiu-ts, ap plause, well wishes, pleasant retro spect and brave, hopeful forecast of successful strife in the broad arena of i he great outside world. Life' s journey is divided into certain well defined stages. It has i!s stopping places, where oie may look back over the stretch of country already journeyed, re cuperate one's strength, and meas ure one's chances for the next ad vance. For the young man, his last college commencement is such a halting place; and if he be gifted by nature with a character at all alive to the serious side of life if he have the capacity to look below the surface of things and see the grand possibilities of success, the awful liabilities to disaster that lie around him, i,e will call a halt, look himself over and ask what kind of a future am I about to carve out for my self in the large sphere of life ahead of me. A college gradu ating class may be divided into halves; one of which, as a re sult of the past three or tour years study, believes that it knows a great deal; the other, the thought ful half, realizes that it knows but. very lit lie. For the former there is but little hope of future ad vance; for the latter every hope. It has been well said that the creates! benefit of a college course is that it teaches one how to teach himself. A college graduate who has spent three years in serious work makes his exit through the college gales with a smai tering of subjects. This is worth some thing; but of infinitely more worth to him is the habit, of method in study that has. or should have been formed; the meutal disci pline which is received in follow ing out the common college cur riculum. Let him forget the or der and number of propositions of Euclid, if he will only bear in mind that definitions and axioms cmie before propositions, and that the indispensible proof is only at tained by careful consecutive lay ing of the fundamental elements that led up to it. The value of this will be seen in his after life in the great world. The fault cf college life aud work is its hurried, and tendency to slip-shod, method, though in this respect it is ahead of the great outside world of which it is the prototype. Too much is done on the '-get there" principle. This fault lies not in the scope and extent of college work, but in its execution. The graduate will be richly repaid for the time and expense of his course, if lie has formed the habit of at tention to detail, of making each consecutive step as he goes, so that he may always feel sure at least of solid ground to stanu upon; and have a fair vantage ground as a base for further advance in the battle of life. The most successful men in life have been lovers of detail, careful builders, slow and sure, rather than fast and brilliant. Genius may afford a defense with detail, and may step to the front with rapid strides, but genius is scarce. One other almost equally valua ble effect of college lite on which the graduate should dwell, upon which he should improve in the future world life, is the social and civic lessons he has, or should have learned. The college is a social world and the student has already found that no one lives entirely to himself. Considera tion for others, public spirit, large heartedness and all civil virtues should have their birth, and in deed a full and healthy develop ment in the three years of college life. In this field the college faculty has a grand opportunity of showing to the students a bright example. They should make it evident that their work is marked by' that crowning glory of pro fessional work disinterestedness; that their devotion to the growing people under their care, that their zeal for their intellectual and moral advancement is the remun eration in their work, and that the pecuniary remuneration is second ary and subordinate as a motive. If this conviction is not deep seated in the students' hearts, the faculty has lost one-half of its power and influence or the after life of the student will be simply nothing. " The graduating class of - '94 car ries with it the well wishes of the citizens of Corvaliis. There are in it some fine specimens of the strength and intelligence of Amer ican youth; and we hope and are assured, that in the future walks of life we snail hear of some of its members in the years to come. Since the government is run ning behind every day, and Cleve land has shown his utter lack ot ability to cope with the situation it has been suggested that he would best subserve the interests of the people by appointing McKinley re ceiver and stepping down and out himself. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, June 18, 1894. It would be difficult to say whether the sugar trust democratic senators or the men who compose the sugar trust are the most frightened just now. The danger ahead of the sugar sched ule is no longer, thanks to a robust expression of puliliu opinion by the newspapers of the country, confined to the house. A movement is now on foot to modify the sugar schedule be fore the formal vote is taken on it in the senate. If it were not for abso lute pledges which democratic si.na tors have made there would be no doubt of the success of the movement. Still the disgust of some of them is so marked that they may repudiate thtir p'edges, preferring to offend the sugar trust rather th&n to lose the respect of thousands of their constituents The week opened with much uncer tainty concerning the tariff bill. Senator Harris expected to have dis posed of the wool schedule by the middle of last week, but it is still un disposed of. although is will be finished early this week, unless the threat to filibuster until some duty is put upon wool shall be carried out. It is ex pected that the debate on the income tax will occupy nearly or quite a week, and it is not yet certain that it will be reached this week. So there is little probability that the final vote will be re.-iched before the first of July. That "there are more wuyt to kill a dog than hanging" is proven by the manner in which Mr. Cleveland is try ing to make congress obey his request, not to enter upon any financial legisla tion at this session. The bill provid ing for a currency commission which shall spend six months in investigating the subject before submitting its recommendation to congress, is Mr. Cleveland's scheme to prevent action upon any financial bill, and the ad ministration influence is being used to get it favorably reported from the house committee on banking and cur rency. If Mr. Sill, the man who gave the first information (for which he received several thousand dollars in cash) that the Carnegie companies were not properly carrying out their contiacts with the government for the making of armor plate for war vessels, is not one of the greatest liars of the age, the Carnegie companies, instead of being fined a few thousand dollars by Mr. Cleveland,, should have been made to refund every dollar received for botched work and to have forfeited their contracts. Sdl has been here for several days testifying in the investiga tion that is being conducted by the house naval committee. The most of his testimony can be verified, as he specifies every piece of bad armor that was delivered to the government, and as it can all be got at and examined and probably will be in course of time. The odd part about the business is that Mr. Cleveland-knew all about this man's testimony when he set aside the decision of Secretary Herbert iu this matter and himself made one very much more favorable to Carnegie, who evidently knew whose interest he was serving when he publicly endorsed the Wilson tariff bill in its original form. before going to Europe for an indefi nite stay. The explanation fever is no longer monopolized by democratic senator--. Representative Richardson, of Ten nessee, had a very bad case of it, when, in reply to the charge of a local paper that he had been using his posi- About six months ago my Iittlo son, aged three, was very much troubled with a breaking out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places effected were about as large as a silver dollar, the flesh seemed raw and covered with Iittlo blisters. The child suffered considerably, and was naturally very fretful. I tried several reme dies without obtaining any beneficial results, in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading and new places breaking out. I concluded to try the Cutiouiia Exmedies, and boupht a box of Cctiouka, a cake of Cuticcba Soap; and a bottle of Cuticora Kesoi-vent. I washed the effected parts with the Cuticitba Soap, taking care not to irritate the flesh, and applied Cuticuba. I noticed a chance for the better in the appearance of the eruptions in twenty-four hours. I continued the treatment morning and night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the scalp clean, in fact a perfect cure, as I have not seen any indications of any eruption or breaking out since. I gave the child only a few doses of the CuncnnA Rf.soi.vekt. I consider your Cutisura Remedies very valuable, and expect to keep a small supply constantly on hand. I believe CtrncrRA would be excellent for apply ing to insect bites, which are verv annoving in this country. C. A. ARMSTRONG, Swift Island, H. C.

C. committee, and j t hat it was a mere coincidence thai he :(Mr. Richardson) happened, as a mem iber of that committee to report a bill I favorably to the house, which that jcompany was very anxious to have j passed, just four days after the sale of :that real estate. Such coincidences :ai"e dangerous to public men. The last democratic senator to make i an explanation was Ransom, of North Carolina, who confessed, after the i facts had been ascertained by newspa per men, that his son, who is his com mittee clerk, had been speculating in sugar trust stock. It is not probable that Mr. Ransom would have ever saiil anything about it if the senate investigating committee had not in deference to a general public demand examined every senator at present in Washington, going alphabetically through the list. Senator Quay sur prised nearly everybody when he testi fied that he had been speculating in sugar stock; that he had a perfect right to do so, and would whenever he felt so inclined. The greatest interest is felt in the testimony of Senator Gor man, who is still absent and repor'ed to be sick. It may be that he will join the other democratic senators who helped him fix up the sugar schedule in denying everything, but i here is reason to believe that he could tell some very sensational things in connection with this business if so I disposed. But it is hardly probable 'that he will be so disposed when his ! i,,.!.:..,,. : With th- trial and execution of the Italian slabber who assasi luited President Carnot last Sun day, the world will probably be given another opportunity of learning lrom France some whole some lessons in the administration ,of justice. It is humiliating in deed, to an American, to admit that he must look across the ocean to Europe, for examples in the trials and punishment of crimi nals while living in a country that boasts of her freedom and excel lent form of government, but wherein more sentimental non sense and jugglery with justice is indulged in, than in any other portion of the civilized world. The Best Medicine. J. O. "Wilson, Contractor and Builder, Sulphur Springs, Texas, thus speaks of Ayer's Pills : " Ayer's Pills are the best medicine I ever tried; and, in my judgment, no better general remedy could he devised. I have used theui la my family and recommended them to my friends and employes for more than twenty years. To my certain knowledge, many cases of the following complaints have been completely and Permanently Cured by the use of Ayer's Pills alone: Third day chills, dumb ague, bilious fever, sick headache, rheumatism, flux, dys pepsia, constipation, and hard colds. I know that a moderate use of Ayer's Pills, continued for a few days or weeks, as the nature of the complaint required, would be found an absolute cure for the disorders I have named above." "I have been selling medicine for eight years, and I can safely say that Ayer Pills give better satisfaction than any other Pill I ever sold." J. J. Perry, Spottsylvania C. H-, Va.
