Son of Harry K. Ruby, of Columbia, Pa.,
Suffered From Birth
With 3. Severe Form of
Scrofula Humor
“ Until my boy was six years of age he was
from birth a terrible sufferer from scrofu-
lous humor. Sores would appear on him and
spread until as Lurve as a Dollar and then
discharge, followed by others, so that the larger
partpf his body was one mass of sores all >
the time, especrally severe on his legs and back
of his ears and on his head. The humor had a
very offensrve odor, and caused
Intense Itching
We cannot tell how that poor boy sufiered'in
all those years. Physicians did not effect a
cure. At last I decided to give him Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, as my druggist recommended
it. In about two weeks the Sarsaparilla began
to have effect. The sores commenced to heal
up; the flesh began to look more natural and
healthy. Then the scales came Off and all over
his bony new and healthy flesh andskin formed.
'When he had taken two bottles he was entirely
free frOm sores, having only the scars to show
where thev had been. These have all disap-
peared. \ ’e are unable t.) express our thanks

. Ominous.
It has been a subject of wide and fre-
quent remark that the administration
of President Harrison has been so dis-
astrous, not only for the party he rep-
resents, but for so many members of
his Cabin‘et as well as himself. It has
been marked by a series of calamities -
the tragic burning of Secretary Tracy’s
house, with its attendant fatality; the
deaths of Secretary Blaine’s sons, the
sudden death of Secretary Windom and
latest, the death of Mrs. Harrison, all
following in sorrowful succession.
There has not been much brightness or
real gayety about the White House
during the past four years. In its som-
ber and sorrowful features it has been
without precedent.

Yale Has a Great Eleven.
The forerunner of the great football
games between Isle and Harvard at
Springfield next Saturday and Yale
and Princeton in New York Thanks?
giving Day attracted ten thousand
spectators to Manhattan Field Satur-
day.
While Yale’s victory over Pennsyl-
vania was unexpectedly easy, still it
proved beyond the shadow of a doubt
that the New Haven eleven this year is
quite as formidable as the crack team
that won the championship last year.
The result of Saturday’s game makes
it apparent that the battle between
Yale and Harvard will be the most im-
portant football event this year, as
Princeton’s defeat on Thanksgiving
Day is now a foregone conclusion.
A Fourth of July ‘gelebration.
Now that the Presidential election is
over, and we are breaking down the
partisan barriers that have temporarily
separated us, let us’ not forget that we
are Americans andthat far above politi-
cal triumphs we must constantly place
our country and the perpetuity of its
institutions. N ext year will witness
the actual operations of the World’s
Fair. It will be a great year. for Amer-
ica. Here will be shown the greatest
triumphs of the it‘s of peace and the
“consummate flower” of civil liberty.
* Scales will fall from the eyes of for-
eigners and they will repeat again and
again the wondering words of the Sa-
bean queen. While we rejoice over
the present it is our duty to turn back
the pages of our history and review the
deeds and do homage to men who with
God-inspired wisdom so planned our
have withstood
attacks from without and discontent
within. Therefore we say that the next
Fourth of July should be fittingly cele-
‘ bratcd here in Norwalk. We Care noth-
ing for a. civic or military display.
Nothing for the boom of cannon or
other incidents of noise. Rather let it
be a day of memorials, a day wherein
the agonies, the sufferings and the final
triumphs of our Revolutionary sires
shall be recounted and the priceless
value of their sacrifices duly and reve-
rently acknowledged. Again we say
let Norwalk have a thoughtful and
sensible Fourth of July celebration.
Campaign of Education.
It is said on the quiet that our wide-
awake Republican postmaster, having
' the fear of Adlai before his eyes, is al-
.ready putting his house in order so as
to be prepared for the worst. The cu-
.rious ones among the Sons of Rest have
notice or. several nights past that the
.post office force has been assembled in
the rear for a considerable time after
? . the outer doors have been securely
' locked.
What has been going on in
there was only revealed last night. It
'- seems the “force" are practicing for
"coming events; ” that Carmi has a
, f signal cord strung overhead, (9. la horse
car conductor) with a tiny bell at the
_ end, that he ever and anon" jumps up to
g, and catchingrpulls vigorously; that let-
" ' er carriers Nickerson, Haley, Hubbell
and Glendenning, have a lot of mail
bag cords strung across the office for
reins and with toy whips are anon lash-
ing-two mail bags in front of them, and
twitching the driving reins in true
horse car driver fashion ; that Nicker-
son can beat the crowd screwing down
the improvised brake, but that Haley
is ahead on hollering “git up” and
“whoa,” while Glendenning is boss of
the cluck and chirrup to his imaginary
horse car steeds. But Mitchell (who
ever knew 9. Mitchell who wasn’t ahead
on anything,) and Malone gave up the
horse-play several nights ago and are
practicing on managing the new-fan-
gled trolley car system’that is so soon
to adorn our streets, while mail carrier
Bennett, .beinga straight out Demo-
crat, laughs in ghoulish glee at their
frantic efforts to become car” drivers.
They are nowso for advanced that they
can touch off the alarm gong with their
toes and down~brakes as expertly as
any old timer steam locomotive driver.
Indeed we, think the new Electric
Tramway Co., will make a- grave error
if it fails to engage our entire postoflice
force on their electric cars. My! what
an ideal conductor Carmi would make!
And onlyr think of Mitchell and Malone
at the levers! Why, everybody would
ride’ on the trolley then and shout
themselves hoarse in its praises.
Want‘Free Wool-
It is now credibly stated as “one of
the reasons why,” that Republican car-
pet manufacturers in Connectmut,
Philadelphia, New York and elsewhere,
quietly worked for Democratic success
in the hope it would bring them free,
wool. To this the Philadelphia Times
says, that if the carpet manufacturers
of that city were interviewed confiden-
tially, it would be found that they not
only want free wool, but that they must
have free wool to maintain their indus-
try; and it would be found that many
prominent carpet- manufacturers quiet-
ly voted for Cleveland to unshackle
their business. The Times' further
states that these men aver that with
free raw materials they could not only
drive all imported carpets out of the
American market, but could compete
with foreign manufacturers in the
markets of the world. President Head
of the largest carpet factory in Con-
necticut, lately declared publicly that
he wanted only free raw materials to
enter the foreign markets with his car-
pets. |
The truth is, continues the Times,
that our woolen manufacturers of all
kinds, have been throttled by tariff
taxes, and they have been silent on the
subject of free wool solely because they
deemed it prudent to be silent fearing
retributive tariff legislation. They
have been made false to themselves,
false to their own vital interests, false
to their labor, and it is not surprising
that they were ready to revolt against
the reign of greed that so oppressively
taxed their business.
Our woolen manufacturers undoubt-
edly want free wool. On this point
there is practically no dispute; but it is
an open secret, or rather hardly a se-
cret at all, that they have been re-
strained from asking for free WOol,
says the Times, by the threat of the
wool growers and others speculating in
tariff taxes, that free woolens would
logically follow free woo‘l. That threat
once had vitality and force. but it has
none now. Tho wool growers have
now placed their own seal of condemna-
tion on the mockery of protection to
them by high tariff taxes; and by their
recent votes show that they are quite
willing to accept free wool with wool-
ens cheapened in proportion to the
cheapened raw materials.
Nobody thinks of free woolens to-
day. and none will think of free wool
unless the woolen manufacturers adopt
the policy of denouncing every move-
ment for Judicious tariff reform as free
trade. The Mills bill was perhaps, the
best protective tariff that could have
been devised for our woolen manufac-
turers. It was better for them as a
protective tariff than Clay’s tarifl' of
1842. It gave them free wool and all
other raw materials use vith wool,
with a uniform protection of forty per
cent. on woolen products. The Spring-
er bill that has passed the House by
more than u two-thirds vote and is now
pending in the qnnute, gives free wool,
and from 25 t... a.) per cent. protection
on woolen goods. .
Tarifi' revision is now inevitable.
Both parties seem to demand it. The
Republican defeat shows the fatal folly
of the McKinley tariff, and when tariff
revision is called for on every side,
why not take it up as a practical busi-
ness question and treat it on business
principles ? It should no longer be a
political issue.
tled that and the Republican party
must confess the failure as a political
factor. The more gradually revision
can come the better it will be for all,
and why not start with free wool. free
iron ore. free coal, free meats, eggs
and potatoes, etc., all of which without
regard to producers, wofild at least
lighten the burdens of our consumers?
The People Rule.
In old days, says the Herald,questio us
in dispute were settled by a. pitched
battle; in these modern times the ar-
bitrament of war has become well nigh
obsolete, and national policies are de-
cided by a ballot instead of a. bayonet.
We doubt if the history of the world
records a spectacle as inspiring or in-
structive as that: presented by the
American people on Tuesday last,
' parties, each claiming to be its true ex-
'not only of material well being, but of
The people have set- '
when by an orderly revolution they
sent one class of political ideas to the
rear and pnother class to the front.» _ p
The party leaders on both sides may
have gone into theconflict for personal
emolument or some advantage for, their
followers, which is. carefully concealed
under the words "patronage’.’ and
“perquisites,” but the body of the
people, the rank and file—merchant,
mechanic, artisan and farmer—cast
their votes for the greatest good of the
greatest number, because the prosperity
of the whole means the prosperity of '
each. I 1 other words, sixty-five mil-
lion peoplc have made themselves ac-
quainted with the principles which un-
derlie their government; have learned
through innumerable newspapers, which
fall on bill and prairie as thich as snow-
flakesin December, the value and ef.
fect of differing national policies, and
on election day expressed an intelli-
gent and honest Opinion.
In his work on “The American Com-
monwealth” James Byrce puts the mat-
ter in terse and brilliant language, as
follows:
“The parties are not the ultimate
force in the conduct of affairs. Public
Opinion—that is, the mind and con-
science of the whole nation—is the
opinion of the persons who are inclu-
ded in the parties, for the parties, tak-
en together, are the nation ; and the
ponent. seek to use it for their purposes.
Yet it stands above the parties, being
cooler and larger minded than they
are; it awes party leaders and holds in
check party organizations. l\'o one
openly ventures to resist it. It is the
product of a greater number of minds
than in any other country and it is- ‘
more indisputably sovereign. It is the
central point in the whole American I
polity. ”‘ , ‘

two theories of political economy.
There is something specially impres-
sive in that fact. We have a right to
be proud of apeople who can be im-
plicitly trusted in the conduct of
national affairs, who build a conviction
out of the raw material of statistics,
observation and personal experience,
and whose ballot represented their
power to discriminate. There was nev-
er a more serious or a more good no.-
tured campaign. Mr. Bryce may point
to it as an illustration of his statement
that “America marks the highest level,
intelligence and happiness, which the
race has yet attained. ”
There is another peculiarity of recent
events which is worthy of comment—-
namely, the willing and ready accept-
ance of their ill fortune by the defeat-
ed. “ I am disappointed, of course,
because I think my party has the right
of the question, but the bulk of the peo-
ple think the other wav, and this is
their country as well as mine,” said a
republican. Then be quoted the apo-
thegm of ex-Speaker Reed, which runs
in effect, “ The opinion of all is better
than the opinion of any one, and that
ended the matter.
What the people want, irrespective of
party ambitions, is that degree of na-
tional prosperity which will allow every
merchant and every wage earner a
share. That is the consummation de-
voutly to be wished, the sole end which
is sought by every change in the occu-
pancy of the White House.- Give us
