THE CLEVELAND ADMINISTRA-
TION CONDEMNED.
Below we give a few editorial
sparks from some of the best papers
in the state condemnatory of the
sius of the present Cleveland admin-
istration. Right here we will say
the Democrat was among the very
first to speak out against the wrongs
that have been and are being per-
petrated at Washington. But here
are the timely hits:
it Cleveland does not want to per-
form the tiresome duties of the oflice
of President as well as to enjoy the
soft snaps such as drawing his sal-
ary let him resign and permit Adlai
and his axe to go to work.—Law-
rence County Telephone.
An official statement just issued
shows that Harrison made a great
many more changes in the postofßees
of the country than Cleveland has
done; and the worst of it is Cleve-
land seems rather proud of his poor
record. Why should a handful of
mugwumps still be pandered to?—
Batesville Guard.
Mr. Cleveland may think he is do-
ing the proper thing in allowing Re
publicans to hold oflice until the four
years have expired but it will be
hard to make Democrats believe ho
is going the proper gait.—Woodruff
County Vidette.
If Civil Service means that Uncle
Sam’s wagon is still to be pulled by
the horses hitched in by Mr. Harri-
son we are not exactly in accord
with Civil Service.—Fort Smith News-
Record.
Indications all point to a division
in the Democratic party over the
currency question before the next
campaign as wide as the United
States Sevier County Democrat.
A poll of the house of representa-
tives shows a majority of thirty-five
in favor of the free coinage of silver
and it is believed the senate is quite
as friendly to the white metal. In
all probability we shall have an op-
portunity to sec whether Mr Cleve-
land will follow his own or his party’s
convictions on this subject.—Bates-
ville Guard.
The Democrat (Irmly pclievos that
the people in the political revolution
of last November expressed an em-
phatic demand for a change of rulers
not alone in the chief executive's
chair but all along the line. Repub-
lican officials cannot carry out the
ideas of Democratic reform—such a
thing is as impossible as for oil and
water to mix.- As indicated in some
of the above squibs and as we have
heretofore shown it seems to be gen-
erally understood that Mr Cleveland
is strongly opposed to free silver
coinage although the national Demo-
cratic platform is outspoken in favor
of it. If Mr. Cleveland keeps up
this opposition to silver he will cer-
tainly “divide the party” and cause
the South and A est to forever become
divorced from the Eastern Democra-
Democracy has always stood
for free coinage aud the Wall street
gang nor any oi its friends can change
it on this vital issue.
We believe that the iniquitous rob-
ber tariff system needs doctering first
of all as the most important issue
but Mr. Cleveland must not think to
strangle silver and the financial prob-
lem while preparing a just tariff
measure. The people of the south
and west will not have it that is all.
The Texarkana Democrat under
the editorial management of Mr. J.
W. Gardner has been greatly’ improv-
ed aud now ranks high among the
bright and spicy newspapers of the
State. It is always a welcome visitor
to the Commercial sanctum Pine
Bluff Commercial.
Thanks Bro. Newman and we can
truthfully return the compliment as
the Commercial is always well-printed
and well edited. An editor having
no convictions and who always sits
“astraddle the fence” should not oc-
cupy the editorial “nail keg.” Neither
the Commercial nor the Democrat
belong to this class of journals.
□lt is not so easy now to join the
pension army. It is announced fron
the pension bureau at Washington
that applicants for pension in the fu-
ture under the dependant and disa-
bility act of 1890 are to be accom-
panied with new restrictions. Here-
tofore the applicant was simply re-
quired to give a certificate that the
disability complained of was not the
result of his own vicious habits. Un-
der the new order certificates of two
respectable citizens are required also
their reasons for believing that the
disability of the applicant did not re-
sult from his own habits.

Last April she was taken down with

tors at home and at Detroit treated
her but in vain she grew worse rap-
idly until she was a mere “handful of
bones” —Then she tried Dr. King’s

two and a half bottles was completely
cured. They say Dr. King’s New
Discovery is worth its .weight in gold

Cancers in the Neck
Terrible Choking Sensation
Mrs. James Balter
of Locust Valley Long Island.
“Four years ago while living In Trinidad
Colorado a small lump appeared on my neck
which gradually swelled and developed into an
intensely pniaful livid .ore with a centre
filled with granulations like shot. Another sore
appeared an inch or two distant and I had to
give up and return to my parents in Brooklyn.
Physicians pronounced them cancers and
Performed An Operation
for their removal. I suffered a great deal
before the operation and far worse since. One
of the cancers the smaller one healed over but
was as sore as ever while tho other did not
heal and was worse. The physicians told me I
would have to submit to another operation but
I said I would Dio First
A similar lump a year ago camo on tho right side
of my neck. For many months I could swallow
only liquid or very soft food and sometimes found
great difficulty in .peaking aloud. At the
suggestion of a friend I began taking Hood's
Sarsaparilla and the only thing 1 regret is that
1 did not take It years ago and thus have pre-
vented terrible suffering for had I taken the
medicine I sincerely believe I should not have
needed any operation at all. Those sores are
now after taking two bottles
Completely Cone
and I am satisfied permanently healed up.
The lump on the right side of my neck has
nearly all dried up and no longer causes me
Hood’s s Cures
any inconvenience. I can eat anything once
more and can use my voice as well as ever.”

pride that the publisher of the

The pre-eminence thus acquired can be achieved only by merit. The
■leading public will buy that paper which best satisfies their desire tor stories of the high-
est literary merit and most interesting character. And tho enormous circulation of the
New York Family Story proves that it has done this.

Bly Abi S. Jackman Chailotto M. Kingsley ' Girlie” May Emma Garrison Jones Char-
lotte M. Stanley T. W. Hanshew E. Burke Collins and others equally famous will be re-
tained its artistic excellence maintained its beautiful typographical appearance preserved
and the same judicious editorial supervision exercised to keep tho tone of tho paper aspuro
and mural as it has boon from its inception.

will bn spiv od to add now and attractive features. Standing as it does like a beacon light
