Christmas is coming, and it is high time for the Sunday schools to fill up, so as to share in the Christmas prizes and presents. The Albany Evening Journal says the present Congress should reform the tariff at once. Certainly it should! But, will iff In his recent Owatonna speech, Mr. Dun nell said Bobespn and Don Cameron were politically dead, and that Mr. Windom would presently keep them company. Blaise is out of politics. So is Grant; but both are to winter in Washington. Conkling is out of politics, too. Where will he -pend "the winter of his discon tent." . The majority party in the Forty-eighth Congress must not forget that the Democ racy will be expected to use its power for the benefit of the whole people, and not merely for partisan benefit. John W. Doksey, ex-Senator Dorsey's b other, one day asked Marshal Henry for a match to light his cigar. Tlib marshal supplied the match. That was conspiring to defeat the star route trial. The great and only Bliss says so. Some Ol the "rural roosters" are cack ling over an a'.ieged prospective libel suit against a metropolitan journal. Probably, among these dirty birds, the wish is father to the thought, and thus they parade their gentlemanly malignity. Yesterday was a bright and quiet Sun day in St. Paul. The churches were well attended, and in the evening an overflow ing audience attended the Sacred Concert by the Boston Ideal Opera troupe, for the benefit of Manager Hams, of the Opera hjuse. _____ That celebrated interview with Marshal Henry is given m a Cleveland telegram this morning. It's mighty interesting reading. The marshal, in his frank, honest way, told a little cold truth about Geo. Bliss, and Bliss hates any man who tells the truth. ____________ The Pittsburgh Dispatch (Rep.) makes this pithy comment on Don Cameron: "His friends, his enemies, his own family, his own father, want him to resign his seat and retire from politic?, but he refuses. He will hold his position as long as he can in opposition to the sentiment of the entire State." ___ The life of Congressman Updegraff, of ville,,Ohio, district is despaired of. In a state of health his weight was over two hundred pounds. His illness has re duced it to less than one hundred. A new election in that district would probably result in the election of a Democrat, owing to the Litter factions in the Republican party. ___________ The New York Evening Posf (Republican) under the charge of Carl Sliurz. candidly admits that "the people have become tired of the Republican party." The Post says: '•The Republican leaders should indulge in no delusion about it: the people have begun to become tired of the Republican party as it has been for some years. What is needed and what the people demand is a party with new aspirations and aims, as well as with a new organization." A malicious, mendacious newspaper blackguard is pursuing Mr. Windom with a steady, vulgar abuse, calculated to awaken sympathy for the villified, if the source of the attacks were worthy of any consideration which, fortunately for the as sailed, it is not. There are objections enough to the public character and pnblic acts of Windom that ou_ht to prevent his return to the senate, without resorting to low-bred, vulgar blackguard and scurility. The railroad war continues. The St. Paul road announces cut rates in the terri tory of the Rock Island road, and it is un derstood that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy supports the St. Paul. The Illi nois Central, while perhaps not in the fight, i» in sympathy with the St. Paul, and the Northwestern leads strongly in the same direction. This makes the situation for the Rock I~laad roa^l critical. Mb. Daudt, who was the Republican candidate for congress in the S9veuth Mis souri district account^ for the Republican defeat by saying, "Bossism in the East, and prohibition in the West were, in my judgment, the main cau?e- of Republican defeat in the late elections." That is a solid statement, and an honest one, and when other causes are assigned they are in the semblance of demagougeiy. In the Colorado legislataie there are forty anti-Monopolis :•, who were elected in opposition to the regular Republicans, and the feud between the "ant is" and the "regulars" is hot and bitter. Tnis opens the way for a coalition between the Demo crats and anti-Monopolists, so that there is m«re than a probabi'ity of (he election of a Democrat to the United States senate, in which case the iie ; üb'.icans cannot count on a majority. The Washington .»<.»■..y,«a< Hepublican newspaper has been reconstructed. De cember Ist it appears under the control of Tirst Assistant Post caster General Hat ton, with Geo. C. Gorham principal writ ing editor. It is supposed it will be chiefly supported by government advertisements. As an "organ," under such management, it will be a weak, flat failure, unless men of the Republican persuasion have lost all their intelligence. It is attributed to Thurlow Weed, as a chief source of his great political power and influence that he was not self-seeking; that he was unselfish; that he never sought, but refused, to occupy office when urged upon him. He stood almost alone in this line of self abnegation. Horace Greeley, on the other hand, had an insatiate thirst for office. This greatly weakened his influ ence, and finally caused his death. But for this, he might to-day have been alive, and wielding the greatest journalistic power and influence in the land. Mtstebious colossal foot prints, ap parently human, have been discovered in the rocks in Nevada. The startling sug gestion is made that theue foot prints were the impression of the gigantic, pre-Adam ite man, of the altitude of twenty feet or more. But Prof. Marsh has given the quietus to this sensational theory, by giving it as his opinion, supported by good rea sons, that the tracks are those of an enor mous sloth, whose bones have been found in California. The pre-Adamite giant of Nevada is, therefore, permitted to retire in good order. A Republican organ, mourning over the dilapidated condition of the Republican party, and looking to, or at least hoping for a resuscitation of it, doubtingly says: "All our party wants is unity of purpose, and harmony of action." As a parallel case the following story is told of that bluff old Senator, Ben Wade: Some years ago he paid a semi-ofiicial visit to the wilds of western Kansas, and was asked by one of the inhabitants what he thought of the country. "It seems to be a pretty nice sort of a country—of its kind," was the sena torial reply. "Yes," said the inhabitant, "it ta a mighty fine country; all we want here is watei and good society."' "Well," said bluff .and burly Benjamin, "for that matter, my friend, that is all hell wants." JtJZSPOXSIBILITY OF THE SITUATION The result of the last election has cast an unusual, indeed, a vast responsibility on the Democratic party. The people, by thousands, disgusted with stalwart Repub lican corrupt modes, flocked to the Demo cratic standard, with confidence, expecting and asking for true, needed and radical re forms. They must not be disap pointed. They must be met in the spirit of fairness and sincerity. They have given the Democratic party great majorities, in some instances vast ones, and have cast upon the party corres ponding responsibilities. They have taken away from unfaithful hands power, and confidingly placed it in other hands. Power brings duties and responsibilities of a grave and weighty character. The trust proffered must be accepted with con siderate, conservative moderation, not in the spirit of exultation. The new congress will have grave tasks to perform. It will have difficulties to meet of a most embarrassing character. In projected reforms, however fair and needed, they will certainly have to meet an adverse majority in the senate and a hostile executive. Thus they may be hindered in the accom plishment of undertakings that will com mand popular approbation. The failure to accomplish what is needed and expect ed must be shown to be from no lack of honest endeavor, but from factious oppo sition on the part of Republicans, if such should be the fact. Then the people will not withdraw confidence but place the re sponsibility where it belongs. There should be no distinctive partisan action. Fairness, justice, the general good should be the aim. There will be a large number of cases of contested seats. In the decision of all these there should be absolute, positive judicial fairness and precision. There shonld be no advantage taken of the pow er of a majority, but each case, without re gard to the political status of contestants, should be decided according to the law and the evidence. These will be test cases of the sincerity and integrity ot th 3 majority, and as they are decided, the majority will be strengthened or weakened in the estimation of the country. There probably never has been a time when fain:ess, carefulness and just action have been so much counseled, urged and demanded as now. Genuine reform and honesty in official action is strongly de manded. The party that meets this just; demand will not only receive, but long re tain the confidence of the country. The Albany Avgus, always reliable Democratic authority upon this general topic, well and soandly remarks: '"Thejparty should at once and for all dismiss any idea th;it it comes into power to wreak revenges or re prisals, or to fortify Itself against political changes in the future by present device?. or by such an abuse of public trusts as stalwartism practiced. Reforms and not retaliations, are the avenue to public con fidence. A record which will command re ward, when gauged by the reason, the vir tue and the intelligent self-interest of the voters, will give a party stronger and lon ger hold than any resource to unjust par tisan advantage, merely because the phys ical power to take it exists." Such action as is here suggested will be the true test. And by such action and such a spirit alone, can the power so suddenly, and generously bestowed upon the party be retained. The benefit not merely of a party, but of the whole people should be the rational and high aim, and with that, and the people satisfied of it, a long lease of power will be gained in all departments, and retained by the Democ racy. The opportunity is a grand one. Will it be used wisely, justly and well? COXTESTXft ELECTIOXS, There is a prospect of an unusually large number of contests for seats in the next house of representatives, notices of contest having already been given in nearly eighty cases. There is excellent ground in some instances for contests,but in others, accord ing to the testimony thus far presented m the newspapers, the grievances complained of are exceadingly shadowy. Nearly every candidate who finds himself defeated by a majority of a thousand or less, charges fraud upon his opponent and gives notice of contest with the confident expectation, especially if he be a Democrat, that he will obtain a seat amenj the legislators of the land. While a majority of those who will con test seats in the next congress are Demo crats, it must not b^ understood that it is a part of the Democratic creed to interfere THE ST. PAUL DAILr GLOBE, AIONDAT MORNING, NOVEMBER 27. 1882 in any way with the expressed will of the ! people. The fault lies with the Republicans of the present congress, who have set the country and their successors a most per nicious example. Some of the most out rageous and unwarrantable decisions have been reached in contested cases that the history of the country affords. Republi cans who have been repudiated by their constituents by overwhelmiKg majorities, have applied for the unseating of their Democratic opponents, and the committee on elections, seconded by the house as a body, has complacently grahted their re quest, without justification or warrant of law. The fact that a sitting member was a Democrat was alone sufficient to debar him from the privilege of representing on the floor of the house the people who had elected him. A goodly Republican major ity was absolutely essential to the passage of partisan legislation, and that majority had to be obtained, and was obtained, by hook or by crook, and generally by the latter means. The impression has gone abroad that by reason of the arbitrary and shameless manner in which the Democrats have been treated by their opponents, they will retal iate in kind in the Forty-eighth congress, in which they have a large majority. This does not follow, and we trust any such expectations that may have been raised will not be realized. A wrong on the part of the Democrats can not right those committed by the Repub licans, and it would do the party great in jury in the public estimation if it should endeavor to retaliate for the injustice practiced by the Republicans by commit ting acts that will not bear the closest scrutiny of impartial men. Nor do we think there is any disposition on the part of the Democrats in congress to make a wholesale raid upon those Re publicans whose right to seats may be brought in question. They will no doubt hold strenuously to their rights, and insist that the intent of the voters shall be respected despite the perversions and frauds of bribers, intimidators and ballot-box staffers. When the party was in a majority in the Forty-fifth and Forty sixth congresses no man was unseated ex cept upon incontsstibie proofs that he was not entitled to the place he occupied. Par tisanship had less to do with such contests in those congresses than ever before or since. We apprehend that there is little danger that the Democrats will imitate the dangerous and dishonest example set them by the Republicans, though such ac tion would not be without palliation. The party has a record to make, and solicitude for the future will deter it from any course that will be likely to bring it into disre- A FRUIT OF THE XOVE3IJIER ELEC TIONS, ■Immediately the result of the November elections became known, it was announced that the acting president would at once enter upon a series of removals from office, so that his faction of the Republican party might fatten upon the ■ '-spoils." This proclamation, which was prematurely given to the public, enveloped the pro gramme with embarrassment. Still the purpose to execute the cowardly yengen ance was not abandoned. The first vie ; tims marked for the guillotine lost their heads on Saturday, being the marshal of the district of Columbia, the postmaster and assistant postmaster of Washington city, and a director of the Union Pacific rail road, and the foreman of the Congressional Record. The pretext for the removal of these officials was given in the Globe dis patch from Washington Sunday morning, alleging that they impeded the prosecu tion of the star route cases. This pretext is stuff and nonsense, as a sensible public readily concludes after reading the after dinner communication of the veiver-coated, ruffled shirt-cuffed Benjamin Harris Brews ter, attorney general. The charge of im proper interest in behalf of the star route defendants is formulated by Geo. Blsss, a boon companion of the executive, and is paltry and contemptible to the last degree. The conduct of Bliss and others in behalf of the government during the trial of the suit which ended in the defeat of the pros-; ecution, stands open to the gravest cen- 1 sure of all fair minded peop'e, and the di atribe of Brewster, a stump speech to the country, stands well in the line of the im becile management of the star route busi- i ness. The charge made by Bliss against Marshal Henry is untrue, and so notorious ly unfair and far-fetched that outside of the select wine-bibbers who pose as a shield for the executive in his scheme to get pos session of more "spoils." the marshal has the universal sympathy of the Washing ton public. It happened that marshal! Henry was a very intimate friend of the late President Garfield, and being an hon est man, Geo. Bliss couid not use him. and those two things were a sufficient cause for his removal long ago upon some pretext or other, only Arthur thought that it would not look well to make the de capitation before election. As soon after the death of Garfield, as propriety would permit, marshal Henry waited upon the President and frankly offered to relieve him of all embarrassment by resigning his position. The president insisted that the appointment had his full approval, and that he neither desired, nor would he accept, the tendered resignation. Arthur said to the marshal that he desired him to continue during the term for which he was appointed. After this, when Bliss wanted to get some creature of his own into the marshalship, Arthur stated his action, and so the matter stood nntii the subterfuge alluded to was adopted, upon which to make the removal. There is not a shadow of proof that the marshal has done the least thing to hinder the govern ment side of the lawsuit. The charge that he was instrumental in procuring impro per talesmen for the jury is a fraud, and Bliss knows it. Postmaster Angier and Assistant Parker express themselves with the indignation of innocent, honest men and invite and demand the broadest in vestigation. The vindictive hand of Don Cameron is seen in the affair. The whole thing is a thin excuse to take posession of government offices of value, the officials being men whose views of integrity ren dered them obnoxious to Cameron, Brews and Bliss. Arthur, in bis rage of disappointment at his Republi can repudiation at the late elections has pat himself into the keeping of Bliss and Cam eron. ; The stalwart crowd are now deter mined to complete the wreck of the Re publican party, and they are in a fair way to do it. "Whom the gods will to destruc \ tion- they first make mad." If the star route cases involve the defeat of the Re publican party in the next national elec tion, so much the better for the people and the country. The cohesion for spoils and plunder ought to have run its day. Si AND SORROW. THE DAY'S ItEVOItl) OF CHIMES JOTB DISASTEJiS. The Body of a Chicago Suicide Found in the Lake—Terrible Coal Oil Fires on Long Island—Fatal Railway Accident— Deliberate Murder in Indiana—Attempt to Lynch the Murderer—Wife JHurdere s Convicted. . SUPPOSED BUICII>E. ' [Special Telegram to the Globe. 1 Chicago, Nov. 26.—The bo Jy of Wm. McGregor, who disappeared from the Com mercial hotel on the morning of the 16th instant, was found in the lake at the foot of Schiller street yesterday afternoon. A dredging machine in operation at that point brought the body to the surface in a load of mud. The iron scraper attached to the apparatus struck the body with such violence that it cut off one leg. There were other marks upon the remains which at first suggested the idea that he had met foul play. A closer examination, however, shows the marks to have been inflicted after death, and while the body was some time in the water. The appearance of the remains was frightfully changed by the action of the water. They were re moved to the morgue, where nothing was found on his person save $1.43 and a bill head of the Commercial hotel. Some guests who were stopping at the hotel called and identified the deceased by his clothing. The evidence points to the the ory of suicide. No reason is known to his friends why he should wish to die. as he was, financially, well situated, and in ex cellent health and circumstances. He breakfasted at the Commercial hotel a week ago Thursday last, and had not been seen since that time. The police were no tified of his disappearance the following Saturday, but culd discover no clue to his whereabouts. He was employed as cashier for Asa Dow, who states that his accounts were in good shape, and that every penny entrusted to him was rightfully accounted for. The coroner was notified and the in quest is to be held at once. SENTENCED TO DEATH. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Havana, 111., Nov. 26.—The trial of Theo dore Gardner for the murder of Mary Wetterhas just closed. A true bill for murder in the first degree was found. He was brought into court and Mr. Rengstarff was appointed interpreter. A copy of the indictment in German had been given him. To the question of the judge, "are you guilty of the crime charged in the indict ment?," he answered "Yes." "Did you kill Mary Welterhas:" "Yes. We quarreled. She had no weapon, but threatened to shoot me. I took her by the throat and threw her down, and she was dead. I took $95 of her money." He was told ho might retract, but re fused. After evidence was heard he was sentenced to be hanged on the 12th of Jan- ! vary. DESTBUCTIVE FIBES. New Yoek, Nov. 26.—Devoe's oil works on Ash street near Newton Creek, L. 1., burned this afternoon. At 2:30 the tank exploded with a loud report, the oil ran like a river of fire over the premises and into the creek, and a large quantity went over a canal boat at the dock, setting it on tire. The boat was loaded with oil and burned fiercely. A second tank then es ploded, and the employes were obliged to run for their lives. The entire fire depart ment was called out, but their efforts to check the flames were unavailable as the water scattered the burning oil in every direction. The oil in the remaining tanks burned fiercely, throwing out such intense heat that it was impossible to approach them. The flames finally communicated to Smith's box fac tory, and that was badly damaged. The loss is believed to be about £75,000, al though some men engaged in the oil busi ness estimate it at a much higher figure. Later reports say the fire occured in the works of the Brooklyn Oil company, New ton creek, near Manhattan avenue. The bark Thism was at the docks when the oil tank exploded that caused the fire, and the crew jumped overboard. Two were drowned. The flames extended, and ig nited Devoe's oil works on the first side, and Church &, Co's sal-soda manfactory on the north side, but the efforts of the firemen saved them from total ruin. Flying sparks set fire to the box manufactory. 430 Oakland street. The port boat Sweepstake.jwhich was filled with oil and was lying at the dock, took fire and burst into fragments. Tho blazing oil spread over the river, andfer a time it was feared the fire would spread to Long Island city, but the tide averted tins danger. The barge Estellelgoing close to the tank boat was also set on fire. Her captain, Jas. Connors and wife and the deck hands jumped overboard. The last named swam ashore. The captain and wife hung on to the sides of a barge until a boat from Long Island City received them. Mrs. Connors' hands and arms were badly burned. A number of vessels that were in the vicinity of the creek at the time were removed to a safe distance and saved. The oil continued to burn during the night. The damage to the Brooklyn oil works is estimated at §100, --000: Devoe's works, §60,000; bark Thism, §50,000; Church & Co's salsoda works. §20.000. and Smith's box factory, §10, --000 Laweence. Mass., Nov. 26.—A fire Sun day morning in the American newspaper building caused a loss of over §11,000; insured. Providence, Nov. 26. —The wool and scouring building of the Geneva worsted mill burned. Loss §35,000; insured. A MUBDEBEB CAUGHT. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 26.—Friday af ternoon last the body of Taylor Dunbar, a grocer of Darlington, Montgomery county, this state, was found in a corn field near that place, the head and upper part of the body bearing evidence that a murder had been committed. He had left home in com pany with Joseph Stout, a young man of Darlington, who could not be found after the discovery of Dunbar's remains, and suspicion was at once directed to him. as the murderer. Deputy Constable J. A. Marshall, of Darlington, a friend of Dunbar's. came io this city in search of Stout, and yesteruay afternoon arrested him at a variety theater. Blood was found on his shirt, which was covered by two other garments. A pawn check in his pos session called for a watch that had be longed to the murdered man, and when he was recognized by the pawnbroker as the man who pawned the watch, the proof of his guilt appeared com, lete. He was taken back to Darlington by the constable and confessed his guilt. He stated they started together in the country with a huckster wagon, and took with them a shot gun for the purpose of hunting. About four miles from town they went into a thick wood, where he said he knocked Dunbar down by hitting him with a club twice on the back of the head. Then he took the shot gun which Dnnbar had and shot twice, one load taking effect in the side of the head, the other in the front part of the neck. After rifling his pockets of §4 in money, and a silver watch, he left the body and came to this city. Intense excitement exists in Darlington, and it is feared the prisoner will be lynched. He is a young man, worthless, and of unsavory reputation, while his victim was a man of family and stood well in the community. Lateb—Buck Stout, the murderer of Taylor, was taken to Crawfordsville last night. A mob was organized at Colfax and Darlington, through which places the train passed, for the purpose of hanging him, but the officers in charge hearing of it. left the train at Thornton and drove through. Thej were headed off at one or two places, but succeeded by rapid driving in reaching Crawfordsville jail with the prisoner. It is feared further efforts will be made to take Stout from jail and hang him. SHOT HIMSELF. Denver, Nov. 26.—This morning while the train from Leadville, was near Canton, City, Sam Shepard, of Manchester, Vir ginia, stepped into the water closet, and shot himself.

A Gratifying" Increase During the Pas' Week—The Railroad Win- st ululating T. attic. f Special Telegram to the Globe. 1 Chicago, |Nov. 26.—The weekly state ment of east-bound shipments continues to exhibit an encouraging increase. The aggregate shipments during the past week on all east-bound lines were 41.027 tons. against 38,152 tons for the week previous. The tonnage for the corresponding week in 1881 was 35.624. Last week there was an increase of Hour shipments of 12,002 barrels; in provisions 1.578 tons, and a de crease in grain shipments of 207 tons. The most noticeable fetiture of the week's business is the continued large increase in flour shipmects, due in a great measure, it is considered, to the low freight rate of 15 cents per barrel now being made from Minneapolis to Chicago. The millers of the Northwest are taking advantage of the low rates and are unload ing all of their stock and sending East the products of the mills as fast as manufac tured. It is not expected shipments of flour will decrease next week, unless the rail rates west of Chicago are abruptly increased, which seems at present improb able. The advance in east-bound rates which takes effect Dec. 1, will operate to largely increase contracts for Eastern shipments during the present week. Yes terday only two charters for lake shipment were taken, and it is considered that this will practically close the season of lake shipments. There is at present a large shipment which it was expected would go by lake, that will on aeeoont of the close of navigation, be compelled to take the all rail route East. The grain shipments still continue light, beinjj consigned principally to interior and Xew England points. The high rates of through shipment still prevent grain being shipped to Liverpool at a profit. The increase in provision tonnage is due in a measure to the heavy receipts of live stock here and the good business now be ing done by the packing houses The prin cipal reason assigned for the increase in East bound provision tonnage, however, is the very good export demand, shippers being anxious to send meats forward in time for the Christmas markets. It is ex pected that after December shipments will drop off somewhat, as many of the causes which up to that date will operate to abnormally increase shipments will then cease. It is not thought, how ever, that the roads will materially lose, as the advanced rates will partially, if not completely, reimburse them. It is con sidered that after (Dec. 1 farmers and country merchants will hold back their products as much as possible, so as to take advantage of lower rates in the spring. It is expected that another advance in east bound rates of five cents will take place about Jan. 10. Receipts of new corn continue to in crease, and it is expected that a brisk ex port trade will spring up as soon as the price justifies export. The demoralizing condition of freight rates west of Chicago is considered especially favorable to the immediate interests of the east bound lines, but as soon as a settlement is reached, stringent rules will, it is thought, be resumed, and shipments elicit ed, which will work unfavorable to the Eastern lines in the future. Yesterday arrangements were completed whereby the Nickel Plate will take business in car lots from the stock yards. This road is not in the pool, and if it is disposed to cut rates it can very considerably injure the large east bound business originating at the stock yards. The seaport demand during the past week has been good on flour and provis ions, but next to nothing in grain. Jlriiii/ini; Him to Time. Herr Yon Bismarck had a shoemaker who had often broken faith with him, de spite his most solemn promises, and he at length resolved to put a stop to this sort of thing. One morning at 6 o'clock a mes senger was dispatched to the dilatory shoe maker with the simple question: "'Are Herr Yon Bismarck's boots ready ?" Being an swered in the negative the messenger de parted, but in ten minutes there was an other ring at the shop door. A second messenger thrust in his head with the in quiry: '\Are Herr Yon Bismarck's boots ready ?" And so it went on every ten min utes, the same question all the day through until evening, when at last the boots were finished. Never again did that shoemaker keep Bismarck waiting for his boots. The Manitoba Elections. Winnipeg, Nov. 26.—1t is stated oa good authority that the.elections for the provin-. cial legislature will take place on the 23d of December. The great question before the country is the action of the Dominion government in disallowing the charters of railways to compete with the Canada Pa cific railway. The leader of the provincial government opposes it, but the Conserva tives, with whom he has been allied,uphold it. The Liberals are divided on the ques tion of whether the question shall or shall not be fought out on party lines. Each party is divided and the situation is mixed. Rev. Dr. Jacob M. Manning, pastor of the old South church, Boston, is critically iIL A MINISTER'S ESCAPE. Kr«»ii the Asylum to the Hosoin of His Hoin<>—How it was l)oue. A prominent minister residing at the East has jnst made the following state ment, which is hereby reprinted entire: [To the Editor of the Herald. J I have always shrunk from appearing prominently before the public, but a sense of the duty I owe humanity and the world prompts me to ask this opportunity for making a brief statement in your paper. Whether it be true with others I cannot say, but during my entire life I have fre quently been conscious that something was slowly and silently working to under mine my health and life. What it was I could not tell, but that some enemy of my being was devouring me within I felt cer tain. At times I would seem comparative ly well and then I would be attacked with the most distressing symptoms. I would feel peculiar pains in various parts of my body, my head would seem heavy; my res piration labored; my appetite would be ravenous one day and I would loathe food the day following. Then again I would lose all interest in life; would feel weary without exertion; would beco-.u Q sleepy at midday and restless at night. Occasionally my breathing would be labored and my heart almost motionless, while at other times it would palpitate violently. I thought the?e troubles were the result of malaria, and I treated them accordingly, but I got no better. Shortly afterward my stomach became deranged, my food failed to digest, and the fluids I passed were of a peculiar o£or and color. And yet I did not realize that these things meant anything serious. Finally I con sulted a number of eminent phy cians, each one of whom took a differ ent view as to the cause of my troubles. One said I was suffering from brain dis ease; another spinal difficulty; others heart affection, kidney disease, etc. My symptoms were terrible, and in the hope of relief I was cauterized, cupped, blistered and subjected to almost every known form of treatment. During one of these attacks, while at Red Bank, N. J., a physician was called, and left a prescription. After he had gone, I requested a friend to go and ask him what lie thought of my trouble. The reply was: "Oh he will be all right in a few days; it is only an attack of delirum tremen?." He was at once informed that this was impossible, as I had never used any kind of intoxicating drinks; whereupon he returned, made inquiries, and changed his prescription. But all the care of my friends and physicians availed nothing. I grew wcrse constantly, and what i? most terrible to think of. I did not know what ailed me, nor could I find any one who did. During the summer and fall of last year my pulse ranged from 120 to 130 per minute; I had no relish for food, and was indeed a most pitiable object. I con tinued in this state until last December, when I became unconscious and lost my reason, though I h:id two physicians in whom ciyse>lf and friends placed implicit confidence. In this condition I was taken to Brattleboro, Vt., for the purpose of be ing placed in the insane asylum. I re mnined there until last March, being at tended all the while by my faithful wife who never left me and believed thiit some disease and not insanity was the cause of all my trouble. I regained consciousness in March last and insisted upon being taken home. The physicians advised that T remain, but I insisted upon leaving and we began the journey, traveling slowly. I was met at the dock by a friend whom I recognized and then I became again unconcious and remained so for over a week. When I once more recognized my friend and knew my surroundings I de termined to try, as a last resort, a treat ment of which I had heard much but knew nothing. Neither myself nor friends had much faith that it or anything could help me, but we resolved to try. We accord ingly dismissed the physicians, gave up all other remedies, and I rejoice to say that with the blessing of Him who guided us, I am to-day a well man; having not been so vigorous for many years, and I owe it all to the wonderful, almost miraculous, power of Warner's Safe Kidney Cure, the remedy which I used. Can you well imagine how grateful I must feel under the circumstances, and, like a new convert, I earnestly desire that all who are suffering should know and avail themselves of this means of recovery. Had it not been for the remedy above named I should doubtless now be within, the walls of an asylum or in my grave. The great trouble with my case was that no one seemed to know what I v;as afflicted with, and lam positive that thousands of people in America to-day are in.the same or a similar conditiou. and do not know its cause. Kidney troubles are the most de ceptive of all diseases. They have no symp toms of their own, but often show the symptoms of nearly every known com plaint, I know that people are dying every day from supposed consumption, apoplexy, heart disease, spinal complaint, and many other diseases, when, could the real cause be known, it would be found to originate in the kidneys. In their advanced stages kidney troubles are the most terrible of all known maladies, .is my own exper ience Ciin fully verify. That I had Bright's disease of the kidneys there can oe no doubt. That the symptoms were those of many other diseases is equally certain, and that I was doomed to a terrible death had I not been saved as I was, I am pos itive. The following letters just received, confirm this: VEBMONT ASYLUM FOB THE INSANE. ) Brattlesboeo, Vermont, Oct. 30, 1881. \ Bet E. D. Hopkins: Deaij Sic: Yours of the 21st inst. re ceived. We congratulate you not only up on the continuance of your health, but al so upon the apparent continual improve ment. Few persons, I think, have passed through so exhausting an experience as you and rallied from it. Certainly I can not recall one who came to us in so criti cal, and for days and even weeks in so hopeless a state for amendment as you, and who survived and recovered from it; for, I think, you may consider yourself re covered and no longer on the convalescent list. Hoping for the continuance of your present health, with the best wishes from all here, I am, yours truly, J. DRAPER. Oceanic, N. J., Nov. 2, 1882. My Deab Fbiend: Replying to your let ter I would say I have been ac quainted with my highly valued friend, the Rev. S. D. Hopkins, about eighteen months, and very intimate ly acquainted for about six months past. For a little more than five months he was an inmate of my house, and we enjoyed constant intersourse with each other. When he came in April last he was almost a perfect wreck in point of health. I thought he had come to us but to die. Soon afterwards he began the use of some of H. H. Warner & Co.'s remedies, namely: the Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, Safe Nervine and Safe Pills. From almost the time he begaa their use his improvement was very marked and wonderful, and when he left us, after having taken some two dozen bottles, he was like a new man. The change was the most remarkable I ever witnessed. Samuel Milleb, (Pastor of the Presbyterian Church.) In view, therefore, of these facts, and with a hope that all who read this may ' take timely warning, I make this open statement freely and for the good of my fellow men. Sincerely, (Rev.) E. D. Hopkins. East Riohfobd, Vt. Nov, 7,1882.
