SPRINGER ON THE PROSPECTS
FOR 1896.
Ex-Congressman Springer is credited
with 'the prediction that the democracy
will be frightened into making a square
declaration in its national platform in
1896 in favor of free silver, which he
thinks will comfel the republicans to
antagonize this policy and nominate Al
lison. He believes that the republicans
will carry all the eastern states on that
division, thaf. the democrats will sweep
the South, and that the West will hold
the battle-ground between the parties.
Silver, he predicts, is sure to be the
burning issue of the campaign. The
tariff will be kept in the background by
both sides, and the rest of the questions
which have been up recently will drop
out of sight in the next twelve months.
This view of democratic, policy is of
interest from the fact that the Illinois
statesman is opposed to it, and presuma
bly will .use hia influence against its
adoption. ' He is not a free silver man
On most of the divisions in congress in
the past two or three years he was on
the sound money side. Unquestionably
he would regret to see his paaty declare
in favor of throwing the mints wide
open to silver in advance of an interna
tional agreement in that direction. It
is clear that he thinks the Bland ele-
- ment will have more influence in dictat
ing the course of his party than many
democrats and republicans are disposed
to assign it. The recent manifesto of
the Bland men had earnestness and elo-
quence, of course, but it was not stronger
in these qualities than were some of its
forerunners. Perhaps a majority of the
delegates to two .or three of the most
recent democratic national conventions
have favored free silver, yet the con
servative element has always prevailed,
and most republicans believe that it will
next year also.
Allison has not, in recent republican
calculations, figured conspicuously on
tie roll of presidential possibilities, but
in njtfional conventions the unexpected
often happens. For a few years the die
tingaished Iowan has, in the popular
mind, dropped out of the line of succes
eion. Younger and more forceful men,
like Reed and McKinley, have been
coming to the front, and Allison has
been lost eight of in a considerable de
gree. Allison is probably the ablest re
publican in the country, next to Sher
man, yet he is not the sort of a man to
captivate the popular fancy or to stam
pede conventions. As the candidate, he
undoubtedly v would poll the regular
party vote in most of the states, which,
in the present conditions, and in those
likely to prevail in 1896, would elect
him, but age is one of the objections
which stand against him now. He will
be 68 when the next president is inau
gurated. This is older than any presi
dent was on taking office except the first
Harrison, who was about the same age,
and who lived only a month after reach
ing the white house.
We called attention Saturday to the
fact that the attempt is being made, or
at least that it is so reported, on pretty
good authority, to delay the completion
of the locks at the Cascades indefinitely,
by , forbidding the removal of the upper
bulkhead until after the entire locks
have been raised to a height above the
high-water mark of 1894. We beleive
this attempt is being made, and we be'
lieve, further, that it will succeed, un-
lees action is taken at once to prevent
it. We urge upon our citizens the ne
cessity of prompt and vigorous action
First, to learn if there is truth in this
rumor, and second, to take such Btepa as
may be necessary to prevent the scheme
being carried out.
The news comes today that Li Hnng
Chang has been shot in the face by a
misguided Japanese youth. The great
Chinamen was on his way to his rooms
returning from a conference with the
Japanese peace commission, when the
Jap, a youth of 20 years, rushed in front
of him and fired a pistol in his face.
The bullet struck Li in the face, but it is
said did not injure him seriously. This
affair may result in Japan being com
pelted to accept much better terms from
China's standpoint than would other
wise occur.
Reports from the South indicate
general revival. ot business. It is hoped
the thing may become epidemic and
that every town and village may be in
occulated with it. : It has been a long
time since . the business men of the
country could truthfully say "business
is getting better," and the fact that some
of them can eay so is encouraging. " -We
can't have too much business to counter
balance the awful thud with which
things struck bedrock two years ago.
Let the business boom come. . We are
ready for it. -
Since President Cleveland returned
from his duck-hunting trip in North
Carolina, it is said he only half agrees
with Secretary Gresham. If this is
true, his outing has not been without
benefit to the country, and the sooner
the president can take another - trip, the
better..--. .
Saturday ' the German reichstag re
fused to pass a resolution congratulating
Prince Bismarck upon the anniversary
of his birth. All Germany is aroused
over the matter, and the newspapers are
filled with articles condemning the
reichstag's course.
The latest news from Cuba indicates
that the ' insurrection is getting quite
formidable. It may be possible that
this will indeed prove a revolution, and
that Cuba may set up in business for
herself, unless she is wooed and won by
Uncle Sam.

AN INVESTIGATION
DEJTANDED.
A general banking- business is done by
the human system, because the blood de
posits in its vaults whatever wealth we may
up against "a rainy day " as reserve fund
we're in a condition of healthy prosperity
if we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon in the hour of our greatest need.
There is danger in getting thin, because it's
a sign of letting- down in health. To rain
in blood is nearly always to gain in whole
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
germs of consumption grip, or pneumonia,
' our liver be inactive and our blood im
pure, or if our flesh be reduced below a
healthy standard. What is required is an
increase in wax germ-fighting strength. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood and makes it wholesome, stops
the waste of tissue and at the same time
builds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood of its poisons, cleanse and
invigorate the great organs of the body,
vitalize the system, thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
of it, is surely a remedy of great value. But
when we make a positive statement that 08
per cent, of all cases of consumption can, if
raKcn in me cany stages ot me aisease, be
cured with the ''Discovery," it seems like
a bold assertion. All Dr. Fierce asks is that
you make a thorough investigation and
satisfy yourself of the truth of his assertion.

ical Association, Buffalo, N. Y., you can get
free book with the names, addresses and
