Unless there shamboa very positive reaction among the Democrats in many of the States between this and the meeting of the national convention at Chicago, there is little reason to hope that the friends of sound money will be able to control the highest tribunal of the Democratic party. The chances are to-day against the ' success of an honest money policy in the national convention of the party that has ruled this government during more thanlhalf the period of its exist- ence. A declaration by the Democratic party in favor of the degradation of our currency and the destruction of nation-’ a1 credit would simply be the death knell of Democracy;‘_but madness seems to rule the Democrats of the South and West, and everything now points to a Democratic suicide at Chicago. Another Rise in Goal. All of the New York :coal companies had yesterday fallen into line with an advance of twenty-five cents,| making the price of stove size at tidewater four dollars and ten cents per ton. This is one dollar and thirty cents a tonfiabove the leVel at which coal was: sold one year ago, says the Herald. The fact that other commodities are very much lower, makes this high price of coal all the more remarkable and emphasiz is the boldness and skill of the coal barons, who by wo :kingfin accord and limiting production, :have been able to achieve thislresult. It is true that the price a year ago was unusually low, but that wnich goes into effect now, isforty-five cents a ton above the average at this season for the past six years. Laws designed to pre- vent the barons from making a virtual monopoly of this necessary of life, re- main inoperative, and the only time that relief comes to the public is when there are dissensions among the com- panies. The main hope of the poor is that before the pinching cold of winter arrives there will again occur a break in the combine. .v The Yale Boys at Henley. Bob Cook cables the New York Com- that he thinks “either New College or Leander, would have beaten Yale if the race had been rowed Tuesday, butlthat his boys are “steadily improving.” Whether Yale be victorious or not at Henley, it is clear that she has made the race for the Grand Challenge Cup the most interesting ever known. The dispatches show how all England is put- ~ forth its strength to meet .Yale. It is, in fact, Yale—a single American uni- versity—against all England. We do not say that, says the Herald, in a spirit of complaint. Yale knew: the condi- tions of the contest when she :entered for the cup. But if she triumphs her triumph will be the more glorious and if she fails defeat will be no dishonor. The trial reports are not particularly favorable to Yale. Leander and jNew College have both been oventheficourse in shorter time than our Americanzboys. It is evident that Mr. Cook: is feeling his way. ' He has raised thefislides and apparent- ly been coaching on one or two men by themselves in the right use of the slides. He has ordered new oars of a different pattern from those to which the crew are used. He has diversified his meth- ods of training. Undoubtedly he has . ’altered the stroke in spite of his early declaration about fighting it out on the old line. _ With an ordinary coaCh his men might well grow nervous under all these novelties, but their confidence in Mr. ' Cook is unbounded and deserved. It is plain he has made up his mind that an- der the old, conditions the chance (f winning was none too good. RiSks had to be‘taken, and he has taken them, as every good commander must, even on the eve of battle. There are signs that the climate is telling on some of the men. It was in- evitable that it should. The Yale an- V thorities were not disposed to heed warnings on this point, nor would they as the best judges thought requisite. The climate is the true reason, we judge, why the crew have been doing less work. It,at any ratefis better to under- train than to overtrain. ‘ “_ .

Be Would Got It. ‘ Lord Cockburn, though a successful defender of prisoners, failed on one oc- casion to get an acquittal for a mur- derer. “The culprit,” Mr. Croak James tells us, in his “Curiosities of Law and Lawyers,” “after the sentence fixing his execution for the 20th of the month, had not been removed from the dock when his counsel passed him, and was then seized by the gown. The prisoner said: ‘I have not got justice, Mr. Cockburn.’ To this counsel grave- ly replied: ‘Perhaps not, but you’ll get it on the 20th.’ " \~.

This great medicine has given health to suffering children, even when health seemed impossible. The secret of its success is that it puri- fies, vitalizcs and enriches the b100d. “I wish to tell of a wonderful cure effected by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Five years ago my little boy was sudden- ly seized with a severe lameness, appar- ently in his right knee, which some phy- sicians said was rheumatism, while others said it was hip disease and that it was lncurahle During the next winter and spring he became rapidly worse. toa specialist, who said it was hip disease. At this time the affliction became so severe that we could not move him with- out causing screams of agony. He be- came reduced in weight to 30 pounds, and was but a shadow of his former self. We had about given up hope when we read of a cure by Hood’s Sarsaparilla of a similar case. We resolved to try this medicine. Jimmie was decidedly improved after taking the first bottle. He was even Better after the second. We have since used over a dozen bottles of the medicine, and the change has exceeded our expectations. James is now able to walk without the aid of crutches and goes to school every day. He has been wonderfully cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” J. 0. RUNDELL, Oakley, Michigan. . Druggist C. C. Tubbs says he knows the Rundell boy has been wonderfully Cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla and that Mr. Run- dell is thoroughly reliable. He has a good sale of Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Hood’s Pills, both of which are giving 'perfect satisfaction. He says Hood’s Pills seem to be the coming family cathartic. N. B.
