How is this for Orgon? Frank U.
Mason, consul general at Berlin writes to
lb stale department; "In respect to
dried apricots, peaches, and pear, it may
be said that thee fruits from the Pacific
coast of the United States dominate and
rot.lrol the markets of coutioeu:al Eu
rope. Nothing comparable to them in
point of sise, flavor, teodernets of pulp,
and general excellence had ever been
seen in Europe until they were impo.ted

Governor Geer has allowed himself to
be goaUed, by the dtn cpou pre-, into
the publication of a denial of Uie alleged
Pituaier leal. Fur m-:nthe theee black
mailing papers have leei. de.-n ending
that tie dery these euly chrrgi, over
bis ori signature. N;w that h has in
poiilive, unequivocal language braoded
the (tory as wholly and Jsoltitely false,
these slanderers, are no mote satisfied
than tbev were before. No man in pub
lic life can hope to escaue the vi Ilia nous
attacks of unscrupulous enemies, and
when be starts in to deny or explain
very silly or malicious charge that is
made against him, he will be kept busy.
As we s'ated in theee columns some
days ago. the men woo are responsible
for tbe election of Guv. Cteer took it for
granted that Uie charges were false aid
asked fcr no denial or explanation, and
the men who oppose him would not ac
cept as satisfactory, any statement he
might make. The most contemptible,
despicable bebg on earth, is tbe man
who for pucely selfish, political purposes
will aeek to beckeuthe character of an
honest man.
QUAY'S CHANCES.
Outlook is tbe Senate is Rather Om
inous for Him.
Jiw York, Dec. 12. A special to tbe
Herald from Washington says :
Apathy among Senator Quay's friends
is making tbe out'ook in the senate
.rather ominous for him. Senators
Chandler and Penrose appear to be the
only persons who are doing an ac'ive
canvassing in bis behalf, and they are by
no means encouraged by tbe prosrees
tbey are making.
Tbe lack of interest was forcibly illus
trated In the case of a senator who waa
approached with tbe suggestion tost he
make a strong speech io behalf of the
constitutional right of a governor to ap
point when a legislature bad failed to
elect. This influential senator had
spoken in behalf of Senator Corbett, and
was ured to repeat the same arguments
that be advanced in that gentlemen's
behalL
He has declined the it-quest on the
ground that wheu he supported Mr. Cor
bett, both Senators Quay and Pen rote
refused to vote to seat him. The sen"
ator stated that he would Tote to seat
Mr. (joey, but be did cot see how Penn
sylvania's senators ioa!d consistently in
sist upon his taking cbsrge of the case
on tbe doer of tbe senate.
It ia liecoming more manifest every
day that Mr. Qi ty liai con si Krable can
vassing to At Jo mike his seat in tte
aenatea certainty.
There are to j tuanr name ou the non
committal column to make the outcome
certain for bits at this time. Mr. Qosy
is expected here Wedoesday, when it
may be expected that he wilt work hard
for himself. Ooe of the plans his friends
are talking about is to induce a suSicieut
number of Mr. Qiay'a democratic friends
to absent themselves on the day when
tbe flasl vo'e is ukn, and in this wsy
assure a majority vote iu hi favor.

What Scrofula Is.
Scrofula is a disease as old as antiquity.
It has been banded down for genera
tions and is the same today as iu
early liases. It is emphatically a di
sease of tbe blood, 'and the only way to
cure it is by purifying the b'od.
That is juat wbst Hood's Sareaparilla
does in every case where it is giveo
a faithful trial. It eradicates s 11 impuri
titi from the blood, and cures the
sores, boils, pimples and all forma of
skin disease due lo scrofula taints in
tbe blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla has won
the grateful praise of vast numbers
of people by its grand and complete
cures. Don't allow scrofula to de
velop in your blxd. Care it at once by
taking Hood's Sarsapsrilla.

A CHARGED LIFE.
In a railroi-.il accident the other day a
nuin sustained ten complete fractures of
tbe Ixwes of the limbs, three fractures of
the pelvis, and a score of bruises, gashes
and sprains, and yet he is recovering. Men
ami women sometimes
withstand great physi
cal violence, but suc
cumb to the invisible
germs of consumption
so small that they
can be seen only under
a powerful microscope.
The starting point of
consumption is in the
stomacn, wnich, w hen
deranged, makes bad
blood because diges
tion is not perfect, and
in bad blood the mi
crobes multinlv and
flourish. Sooner or
later the lungs are at
tacked, and in the weak
spots the germs begin
their deadly work of
tearing down the tis
sues. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Diu
co very stops the encroachments of con
sumption microbes. It builds up and
fortifies the whole system by aiding the
stomach in its many functions. It assists
in the proper assimilation of food. This
scientific remedy cures lingering coughs,
bronchitis, bleeding at the lungs, and
every other symptom that eventually
leads to consumption. Dr. R. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. ., who makes this won
derful medicine, gives free, fatherly ad
vice to all who write him.
" Last spring I m taken with severe pains in
my cliot, nud was so weak I could hardly walk
nlxmt Ihe house," says Mrs. G. K. Kerr, of Fort
Dodce. Weustrr Co.. Iowa. "1 Irird uwni
phyiciau ami thev told me I had consumption,
but that I iuijl)t ' brush it over ' and perhaps live
A Rood ninny years. I heard of Dr. Pierce's
Oolden Modioli discovery and I thought I would
try some f it. Ik iore I had taken the first bottle
I was very much better; I took five bottles of it
nod have nut yt had any return of the trouble.

When the bowels are obstinate, take Dr.
Pierce's I'ieasant l'ellets. They don't gripe.
