ENGLAND is building- SO vessels for her navy, France S3, Russia 3!), Germany 19, and Italy 13. Appearances indicate a general European war.

EUROPE is ju6t beginning to appreciate the value of American corn for bread. Since the beginning of the year, the United States has exported 76,000,000 bushels of corn going.

WOOL importations continue to pour in from abroad. Latest estimates show that there i6 fully seven months' supply of foreign wool in the country and that at the present rate of impor* tation a full year's supply will be in the hands of the manufacturers before the new tariff bill can possibly get into operation.

THE anti-Sunday base ball bill which passed the Iowa House of Representatives, exempts from its provisions Seventh Day Adventists and Seventh-Day Baptists. Should this bill become a law the Adventists and Baptists of this particular brand will soon out-number all other denominations. It will be an incentive for a great revival among these brethren.

CAREFUL students of the newspapers of the country find ample evidence of an increased activity in business and of a Blow but sure growth of prosperity. Newspapers in every part of the country, without regard to party views, unite in the assertion that business in the various lines, commercial, manufacturing, railroad building, and other enterprises, show a decided improvement

LARGER imports of sugar than were ever recorded in any previous month, except July, 1894, were recorded at the principal ports of the United StateB during April. The total amount was 757,799,528 pounds and [the entered value was 814,747,139. The imports are nearly three hundred million pounds greater than during March and nearly five hundred million pounds greater than in February.' The bulk of the importations consisted of dutiable raw sugar, of which 318,410,578 pounds of beet and 373,043,739 pounds of cane sugar were imported.

THE Southern protection sentiment continues to make itself felt at the national capital. On every product of the South, Southern protectionists have asked for protection in the pending tariff bill. Last week a delega tion from several of the Southern States arrived at Washington and plead for the Dingley bill rates on rice as against the lower rates named by the Senate Finance Committee, in its amendments to the tariff bill. The South is supplying more' votes and *. arguments for a protective tariff than ever before in its history.

JOHN F. JOHNSON, the Logansport bank wrecker, is an example of the evils of gambling through means of the bucket shop. The first 825,000 that Johnson made was on margins. This of course turned his head and he became a plunger which led him to all sorts'of financial excesses. The end had to come and it came as an avalanche and he finds an abode in a prison's cell, llis is but the fate of thousands of others. They are led on Btep by step until they are inextricably woven into the meshes of margins and their end is one of despair, desperation and death. The fateof-John-eon should be a warning to those who tarry long at the ticker.

LAFAYETTE Courier: The friends of General Lew Wallace have announced him as a candidate for United States Senator two years hence. In making the announcement they have offered a suggestion that will be popular, especially with those who believe a Senator should more thoroughly represent the popular preference of the people. They propose that the Republican State convention make the recommendation and in the expectation of gaining it, Gen. Wallace's name will be presented. This plan has never been been tried in Indiana, although it has proved successful in other States. It is a proposition worthy of general approval. General Wallace is one of the State's most distinguished citizens, ably qualified to represent the State in the Senate. In seeking a popular recommendation for the nomination be is 6ure to show great strength.

A GENEROUS KESPONSK. Tiie finance committee now engaged in soliciting funds to defray the expenses of Memorial Day report that the response of the citizens is most generous. The instances are few where the solicitor has been turned away empty handed and with a rebuff It seems to be a universal feeling among our citizens that the day is not far distant when the veteran will be no more, and that, unless others take up the work where he, perforce, shall lay it down, the observance of Memorial Day will soon cease. It is to his fel-low-citizens, especially of the younger generations, that the veteran must look for the perpetuation and the true observance of this sacred day. By their generous donations the citizens have given evidence that they love the (lag, that they love their country, that they are grateful to the dead and living who saved flag and country, and that they have dedicated themselves to the work of keeping alive the appropriate observance of Memorial Day after the last survivors of the Grand Army of the Republic shall have been mustered out, and of teaching loyalty to their children and their children's children.

IN going ahead promptly with the work of constructing a protective and adequate revenue tariff, the Republicans in Congress are simply fulfilling their pledge to the country, and the mugwump charge of bad faith on this point is dishonest and false. They know perfectly well that protection was the leading plank in the Republican platform, and that Mr. McKinley did not omit it from a single important speech during the campaign. The gold Democrats voted for him with full knowledge of that fact, and the present outcry that they were deceived is tantamount to saying that they would have voted for free silver and Bryanism rather than see the Wilson law overthrown. No pledge whatever was made to deal with the currency question first. The great issue was the maintenance of the gold standard, and «that was assured the morning after election. Next came protection and revenue, and these are now being provided.

ONE of the objects of Memorial Day is to teach the lessons of patriotism, especially to the children. Let them learn the names of the heroes who died that the nation might live. Memorial Day to them should mean more than a mere jumble of fiowerB, music and addresses, but a living tribute to the gloriouB dead. These children are the future custodians of a country's honor, the men and women of another day who may be called upon in their turn to defend it. Let them, then, learn early their sacred lesson of patriotism, that it may be stamped indelibly upon their hearts, never to fade away. The idea of arranging all the school children in a body on the south steps of the court house, each with a flag in its hand and with a patriotic song in his mouth is a most excellent one and the parents should make provision and see that their little ones are there early next Saturday afternoon

IMPORTATIONS of foreign goods have more than doubled since the election of McKinley. The total value of the imports in November, the month in which McKinley was elected, was SE0, 013,288 those of last month were §101,305,131. The April importations were the largest in the recent commercial history of the country. The object of these large importations is, first, to avoid the payment of the increased duties which will come with the adoption of the Dingley bill as a law and second, to make the receipts under that law as light as possible during the lirst few months of its existence, and thus bring it into disrepute with the people. The average importer is free trader, and if he can put money in his own pocket and make the pro tective-tariff law unpopular at the same time, he can be relied upon to do so. r,v-V

Tins Dingley bill has been thorough ly discussed, the needs of tbe govern inent are admitted by all. and the policy of the Republican .party, which the people put into power in November, is ciear. The Republicans are anxious to provide the necessary legislation. The delay in passing the bill must therefore be charged to those obstructionists who are opposed to it, and the people will put the responsibility upon them

INDIANAPOLIS, May 26.—The United States grand jury last night voted to indict John F. Johnson for the misapplication of funds of the State National bank at Logansport and liis forgeries connected therewith, the latter of which, according to the list presented to the grand jury, amount to $201,000. District Attorney Wishard was instructed to draw up the indictment which vill be done today or tomorrow. It is intimated that other parties besides Johnson will have trouble in explaining certain transactions connected with tho bank. There is a number of Logansport people in tho city to testify in the case.

A Logansport dispatch says there is quite a fight on for the receivership of the defunct bank, there being three active candidates for the place—Si Sheerin, United States Commissioner Funk and George W. Holman, the latter of Rochester. If Johnson pleads guilty it is likely he will be in the penitentiary by next Sunday. The penalty for his crime is not less than five or more than 10 years.

No woman can look frcsli and fair who is suffering from displacement of the womb. It is ridiculous to suppose that such a difficulty can be cured by an artifical support like a pessary.

Artificial supports make matters worse, for they take away all the chance of the ligaments recovering tlicir vigor and tone. Use strengthens tlio ligaments have a work to do.

If they grow flabby and refuse to hold the womb in place, there is but one remedy, and that is to strengthen their fibres and draw the cords back into their normal condition, thus righting the position of the womb.

Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is designed especially for this purpose, and, taken in connection with her Sanative "Wash, applied locally, will tone np the uterine system, strengthening the cords or ligaments which hold up the womb.

Any woman who suspects that she has this trouble —and she will know it by a dragging weight in the lower abdomen, irritability of the bladder and rectum, great fatigue in walking, and leucorrhoea—should promptly commence the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If the case is stubborn, write to

Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn., Mass., stating freely all symptoms. You will receive a prompt letter of advice free of charge. All letters are read and answered by women only. The following letter relates to an unusually severe case of displacement of the womb, j, which was cured by the Pinkham remedies. Surely it is convincing: Ijll "Lydia E. Pinkham's

and Blood Purifier cured me when the doetors had given me up. I had spent hun* dreds of dollars searching for a cure, but found little or no relief until I began the Pinkham remedies. I had falling and displacement of the womb so badly that for two years I could not walk across the floor. I also had pro­

fuse menstruation, kidney, liver, and stomach trouble. The doctors said my case was hopeless. I had taken only four bottles of the Vegetable Compound and one of the Blood Purifier when I felt like a new person. I am now cured, much to the surprise of my friends, for they all gave me up to die. Now many of my lady friends are using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound through my recommendation, and are regaining health. It has also cured my little son of kidney trouble. I would advise every suffering woman in the land to "write to Mrs. Pinkham for aid."—Mas. EMMA PANGBOUN, Alanson, Mich.
