‘Tmtb «hope an things.” ,
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 1, 1893.-
[Entered in the Post-Office as a Newspaper.]
Brighter Skies:
The triumphal passage of the Wilson
bill in the House, repealing the en-
forced silver-purchasing clause of the
Sherman law, renders the passage of
that measure, or its equivalent, by the
Senate, and its signing by the Presi-
dent, within a brief period of time,
reasonably certain. All the moral ef-
fect upon the business conditions of"
the country of its absolute repeal, are
therefore practically realized, and a
,more hopeful feeling has in reality
spread the entire country. But as the
GAZETTE, with other influential papers,
has so often suggested, it is not all the
silver-purchases by the National Treas-
ury that has caused such wide-spread
financial distrust and business disturb-
ance. The fear that a new Tarifi' sys-
tem, radically different from that which
has obtained for nearly a third of a
century, will be adopted by the present
Congress and approved by the Presi-
dent, still menacos the country, and
that of itself will continue the hard
times and prolong the business paraly-
sis, unless some assurance is felt that
the President will not permit laws to
be placed bu the statute books which
will work such grave mischief. Mr.
Cleveland is master of the situation.
Without his approval no Tarifl‘ revision
will be possible, and luckily, on this
point he has many wise counselors in
his own political party.
"In a belief that the President will
favor that protection which they so
much need, mills would Soon be xe-
suming, workingmen earning wages,
the banks taking fresh courage, the big
crops harvested, and confidence return.
It is a patriotic duty to look on the
brightening skies and draw from them
the strength which will restore our'
- prosperity. Let it be hoped. there-
fore, that as soon as the silver bill is
out of the way, a simple resolution,
such as has been already offered in the
Senate, reciting the fact that the Fifty-
third Congress will let the tariff alone,
will be passed.
Let the natural apprehension of tarifi‘
tinkering by the Democratic party be
removed, and the mills and factories
will start up again before the winter
comes on, and their once happy‘but
now idle operatives can resume their
employments.
It is because the manufacturer does
not know how the pledged revision of
the tariff will affect his business that
he shuts down or runs from hand to
mouth, waiting developments. .If the
tariff should be revised in accordance
with the Chicago platform, and the
theory of protection eliminated, manu-
facturers could even then beg by
offering the wages received in Great
Britain in similar industries. But
manufacturers can do nothing until
,they know what the Democratic Con-
gress and Administration will do.
The threatened tarifi‘ disturbance
must be definitely settled before we
can hope to see the good times of
recent years return to 11s again.
The Cheerful N. Y. Sun.
. The intensely democratic New York
Sun and in general ability and high
character as a newspaper concededly
ahead of any other partisan journal in
this country, has this to say in refer-
ence to the. copied extract from, the
’ speech in the House of Hon. J. C. Bur-
rows of Michigan. Mr. B. said :—
“At the close of Mr. Harrison’ s ad-
ministration there was prosperity in
the nation. What has wrought the ap-
palling change? What was it that in
the brief space of six months has
plunged this nation, with all its indus-
trial interests, from the summit of
prosperity and hope to the depths of
adversity and despair?”
To which the Sun 1n its best vein re-
plies :——-
“We have no disposition to under-
rate the disturbances of confidence and
business which exist, for we believe in
looking every fact in the face, but
when the Hon. Julius Caesar Burrows
talks about this nation being plunged
uto the depths of adversity and de-
\ pa it, he talks in the Ercles vein of a
Populist at a picnic. There has been
some adversity, but there has been no
despair. The American people know
what hopefulness is, but they do not
know despair. They are accustomed
to prosperity, and they miss it, but
they expect to have it again, and a
good many of them have it now. It
w1ll take more than the Sherman law
or any other. law to plunge the United
States into deepair.”
The Sun is right. The present hard
times have begotton no “despair.”
Banks have failed, great firms suspend-
ed, hives of industry closed their doors
by the hundreds. yet there has been a
hopefulness in the present and future,
during all this senseless panic, the far-
therest removed possible from anything
akin to despair. Now that the business
outlook brightens justalittle bit, let
us all increase our faith in God and the
Country.

THE UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE
OF HER LIFE.
And How It Came Near Making
Her Existence Unhappy
Her Mother Tells a Story Whlch
Will Greatly interest All.
Stories of children are always interest-
ing. Parents often vie with each other
in seeing which can tell the; best story
or most interesting anecdote about
their children.
But here 1s a story told by one mother
which, while it may awake echoes of
sadness in the minds and hearts of
some parents, will be to others a mes-
sage fraught with hope and 103'.
The child whose short history of min-
gled sorrow and gladnefiss is here given
is the daughter of the well- known Mrs.
J. Learmonnth, who resides at 776 Broad-
way, South Boston, Mass.
‘At ten years of age,’ ’said M18. Lear-
month, “my daughter became affected
with a nervous condition which soon
developed into St. Vitus’ dance. It was
pronounced by the attending physician
to be a very severe attack.‘
“The mouth would be drawn spas-
modically far to one side, the hands
and arms were restless and constantly
twitching. Her limbs also were weak,
her ankles bent under her so that it
was almost impossible to '33:? it

‘ She was so nervous that she would
scream almost like a maniac and then
have fits of crying. After two months’
treatment without a cure I concluded
to try Dr. Greene’ Nervura blood and
nor vc remedy.
‘ ‘Three bottlefuls entiielv cured her.
She 111 now thirteen years Old, and has
been well ever since, and to day is a
picture of health ”
Children are prone to have weak
nerves and delicate health. Neglect
of a nervous condition. a pale look, a
disordered digestion or a general lack
of health and vigor in a child may re-
sult in fits, St. Vitus’ dance, or some
other serious nervous disease.
Give your infants and children this,
gIlorious children sremedy,Dr. Greene’ s
ervura blood and nerve remedy' in the
beginning of the disease—when you see'
them’ nervous, restless, wakeful, pale,
spiritless, without appetite, or with ap-
petite irregular and bewels constipated.
It will make their nerves strong, their
blood pure, their sleep sound, natural
and refreshing. In fact it will make
them well and strong. '-
It is purely vegetable and harmless,
and all dluggists sell it for $1. 00. It is
the discovery and prescription of a
physician, Dr. Greene of 35 W. 14th
Street, New York, well known as the
most successful specialist in curing
nervous and chronic diseases. The
doctor can be consulted free, personally
or by letter.

Mrs. Mary E. Post, widow of the late
Augustus Post, died at her home in
Brooklyn on Tuesday. She was a

South Norwalk and a sister of Alfred

The Savannah Lost.
The steamer Birmingham of the Sa-
vannah & Boston line arrived in port
Wednesday night with 12 passengers of
the steamer Savannah and a portion of
her crew.
The Birmingham reports that terrific
gales we1e encountered ed the North
Carolina coast Monday morning and
the Savannah was unable to keep above
water. Six miles on St. Helena light
ship she was wrecked and went to
pieces.

The Author of “Gulliver.“
Between 1714- and 1726, for a dozen
years, Swift remained' 1n Ireland, with-
out intermission, altogether apart from
public life. At the latter date he went
to London, probably needing a change
of scene after the shock of Miss Van-
homrigh’s death and the grievous sense
he must have had that it was he who
had killed her, and it was then that
“Gulliver" was published. The latter
portions of it, which the children have
rejected, we are glad to have no space to
' dwell upon. The bitterness, passion and
misery of them are beyond parallel. One
would like to have any ground for be-
lieving that the Houyhuhms and the rest
came into being after Stella’s death, but
this was not the ease. She was only a
woman and was not, after all, of such
vital importance in the man ’s existence.
Withdrawal from the life he loved,
confinement" m a narrow sphere, the dis-
appointment of a soul which felt itself
born for greatness and had tasted the
nothing to do but fight over the choir
with his archbishop and give occasion
for a hundred anecdotes in the Dublin
cotaries, had matured the angry passion
in him and soured the sweetness of na-
ture. Few people now, when they take
up their “Gulliver,” go beyond Brob-
dingnag. The rest is like a succession of
bad dreams, the confused miseries of a.
fever. To think that in a deanery, that
calm seat of ecclesiastical luxury, with-
in sound of the cathedral bells and the
choristers’ chants, a brain so dark and.
distracted and dreams so terrible should

The Baby Liked It.
The hopelessness of combating indi-
vidual stupidity with the most enlight«
encd sanitary measures which the au-
thorities can provide was evidenced the
other day on a Grand street ferryboat.
A woman came into the cabin carrying a
baby of perhaps 9 months and leading a
little toddler of about2 ‘years. Both chil-
dren. as well as the mother. were com-
fortably clad. but the children’s faces
were pasty and unhealthy looking, as if
unwholesome food and ill ventilated
sleeping quarters were their portion.
The former undoubtedly was, for each
child was munching a large slice of not
too ripe nor too clean watermelon, bought
from one of the peddling fruit stands
which abound in that locality. The baby
in arms kept at his piece with his teeth-
less gums until he had secured several
bits. which be swallowed with gusto.
Alarmed for the effect upon his tender
or at least youthful stomach. a. passen-
ger. another woman. approached the
mother.
“Aren't you afraid to let your baby
eat that " she asked, pointing to the fruit.
The woman looked up mystified. “Oh,
he likes it,” she said.
“But it may make him sick, he' 13 such
a young baby,” persisted the other.
“Oh, no,” answered the mother good
naturedly. “He’ 5 used to it and
peaches,” she added, with an air of pride
at his digestive prowess.
And theother woman could only re-
watermelon pursued its colicky way.—

Edupation That Is Not Practical.
The folly of mechanical juggling with
figures is shown by the following recent
experience of a. school oficial. In aschool
of 37 pupils of mixed grades the follow-
ing question was asked: “It rs now 10
minutes after 10. What time was it five
minutes ago” Nineteen out of the 3"
pupils failed to give acorrect answer. A
similar line of humiliating failures oc-
curred when questions equally simple
were asked.
The trouble was not that the children
could not substract, but that they could
make no practical use of what they had
learned. They could use figures with more
or less facility when told exactly how
to arrange them. When certain “sums”
were set, a fair showing was made. But
the fact that the end of doing such me-
chanical work should be to master the
application of a principle to the practical
everyday affairs of life was far beyond
their comprehensions. —BostonTraveller.
Boys In Church Choirs.
- Boy choirs, trained as such singers are
trained in Great Britain and in Ger“-
many, were almost unknown in this
country 10 years ago and are not com«
mon now, though there are several ad-
mirably trained boy choirs in New
York. When the time comes for the
choir boy’s voice to change. the consci-
entious choirmaster bids him rest in or-
der that his natural male voice may not
be spoiled for singing. The task of
teaching the lads to sing in the artificial
manner required is most laborious, and
the earnings of learners are trifling.
Later a well trained chorister may earn
from $300 to $500 per year by his Sunday
work. The choir boy of the rural parish
is usually an unschooled imp, chosen
for his golden hair and cherubic face. -

Disputing Over Fruit.
Two men got into a. controversy Over
a strange looking fruit which they'saw
on a stand in the Washington market.
One thought it was a small citron melon
and the other believed it to be some kind
of tomato.
