Seub of our Frco-trade brethem are exalting unduly ever the fact that wages are being increased in certain branches of the Rhede Island cotton spinning industry. These zealous indi viduals forget that the increase was planned before the election and is being made nnder the operation of the McKin leyIaw. With the prospect before it of a Treasury deficiency brought about by the unprecedented appropriations of the Democratic Fifty-second Heuse, the Democratic party feels about as happy as a man who cracks a safe thinking It filled, with geld, and who finds upon fin ishing the job that the money isn't there. It is partisan disappointment ' and net solicitude for public affairs that fills the heart of the Democracy as it surreys the Treasury. The history of the United States for i the past thirty-two years is the history ' of the Republican party. When the Re publicans took charge of the National Government a third of a century age the country had been brought te the verge of ruin, by the practical appllca ' tien of the Democratic dogmas of Freo Free trade, cheap labor and cheap money. The Federal Government had no credit abroad and no strength at home. The Treasury was bankrupt, the finances disorganized, the flag dishonored, by slavery and menaced by treason. The country, abounding in all the resources of wealth, was- impoverished and depen dent upon European capitalists for its manufactured products. , Besides the tremendous task of sup pressing the mightiest rebellion of his tory, the Republican party found itself confronted with the necessity of recon structing the financial and industrial interests of the Natien. All the world .knows hew successfully the work was , accomplished. A material advancement that is -without precedent In human nn - rials, a nationality se compact that noth ing cdn shatter it, financial credit that .the proudest monarchy of the Old World cannot surpass, a prestige abroad that eetaruaads the profound respect of for eign governments, industrial indepen dence, a superb Navy, a sound currency, a new system of commercial alliance with the richest Nations of Latin Amer- i,a tjiese are some of the results pf Ro Re lblican rnle. Never before have the Masses of the people been se prosperous, Bver have the wages been se high or th necessities of life se low In price as tfeey are te-day. Cleveland's administration, be it re- ?2 awwbwed, was powerless te reverse Re- yitfettcan legislation, or te check the tide t National progress and prosperity. JltVlieaalsm, firmly intrenched in the 9 MmstAi, was able te bid defiance te Detno Detne eMtic sehesies, and te protect American lMtaeiritf fjetu the. assaults of Southern JmifctBB and Northern Free-traders.

X The Congress, of the Salvation Army new assembled In New Yerk City is, in many respects, a unique gatherlng. It is like none of the represontatlve relig ious assemblages with which the metro polis is familiar. There is a directness of method, an intensity of purpose nnd a fervor about the work of the Salva tion Army which inspires profound re spect among intelligent and unpreju diced people. All the peculiarities of this organization, new of world wlde extent, are faithfully reflected in the congress holding its session there. Much may be said in criticism of the military paraphernalia, the cymbals,! Bhewy banners and street parades of the Army. But when all is taken into con sideration, the great fact remains that these methods, objectionable as they may seem te many persons, have been se ap plied and se inspired with the sincerity and ceurage of their advocates that a wonderful work ier the beneflt of hu manity has been accomplished. In England the Army has gene into the slums and made men and women out of wretched outcasts that the churches failed utterly te reach. It has become a vast reformative agency that has dene mere te selve the problem of Darkest Londen than all ether agencies combined. On the Ceutinent and in many far off and semi-savage lands its intrepid soldiers have unflinchingly borne their standards in the face of per secution and danger. Jn the United States the work of reformation and re generation of these wlte were social euN laws has been pursued with the same singleness of purpose. Fer what they have done, for what they are doing and what they propose te de, the world ewes the earnest work ers of the Salvation Army a debt of gratitude. TriE great strike at Homestead is at an end. It cost thirty-five lives, mere than $1,500,000 in wages and fully as much mere te the Carnegie Company. Was it worth the price? Has it made living easier, homes brighter or the cause of organized labor stronger? If net somebody has blundered. The Quickest tray te Cure a Celd. De you wish te knew the quickest way te euro a cold? Wc will tell you. Te euro a cold quickly, it must be treated before the cold has become settled in the system. The first symptoms of a cold is a dry, loud coughing and sneezing. The cough is seen followed by watery ex pectoration and the sneezing by a profuse watery discharge from ' the nose. In sovere cases there Is a thin white coating en the tongue. What te de? It is only necessary te take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in double doses every hour. That will greatly lessen the severity of the cold and in many cases will effectually counteract it and cure what would have been n severe cold" within one or two days time. Try it and be convinced.

Lima, 0., Nev. 23. A gang of desper adoes created a scene of terror in Lima, early Wednesday morning, by playing highwayman en a number of people and having a hooting encounter with a pesse who followed them. G. B. An spach was en his way te work when he was Held up near the Chicago and Erie railroad track, A man was directly in front of him and shoved two revolvers into his face, while ene behind him rubbed the cold steel against hla neck te assure him that he was equally as well covered behind. Anspach thought it was a party ei fellows out for some fun and shoved the men away, when they all grabbed him and' said: "Loek out or we'll sheet yen." At this he knocked the revolvers near his face away and at the same ttme brought his lantern down upon ene of their heads with all his Btrength. The blew was a fierce one and knocked his man te the ground and Anspach started and ran. Several shots were fired at him, but nene of thorn took effect They all were wigs and false whiskers and had the appearance of boys net ever 18 years of age. As they went east along the track they met an old man by the name of Remcr, also a resident of Reece avenue, about 75 years age. They frightened the old fellow almost te death, and at the point of their revolv ers demanded bis personal possessions. He refused te yleld te their demands, when they overpowered him and, after choking him severely, rifled his pock ets. He Is in a serious condition from the shock. They held up anether young man Frank llerred. They took off the valuable overcoat which he were. While one was looking after the over coat the ethers were plucking a geld wateh, also taking his pocketbook and contents. They flourished their revol vers as freely as in the ether cases, and threatened his life should he resist The police had by this time learned of the gang. The police had gene but a short distance -when they noticed three men entering a house net a great dis tance from the railroad. After an intermission of a few min utes four of the officers, with their weapons ready for use, followed in their wake, and were In the act of sur rounding the house when six men rushed from the heuse and started for the railroad, closely pursued by the offi cers. The desperadoes were losing ground, and two turned and fired 13 shots at the officers. The officers pulled their weapons, re turned the fire, and emptied their re volvers at the desperadoes, who escaped in the weeds. In the encounter one of the police was injured, and having used all their ammunition, they came back. Getting reinforcements and mere am munition, they started out again In buggies te scour the country for the robbers, who are well armed. A het battle, with bloodshed, will surely re sult if they find them, as the police are determined and the highwaymen des perate. LAUNDRY BLOWN UP. Chinese Illvali Thought te Knew Who Did It.
