FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1897.

A RATWOT makes than a pessimist.

a better citizen

1'YoimiA expects to market nearly a million boxes of oranges next year.

THE price of American butter in Mexico is 50 cents a pounds in silver.

THE great commercial agencies of the country say business is improving-.

THE new building and loan association law will go into effect the first of next month.

THE imports of South America amount to S350,000,000 a year, of which this country supplies only about 10 per cent.

THE New York Sim says editorially: "There is a renewal of business not great as yet, but decided. Our opinion is not based on hearsay, but upon solid facts." The same reports come from all sections of the land.

THE Cleveland-Wilson .tariff, now in force, and waiting on Washington statesmen shows a deficit for the past eleven months of $33,000,000. \ot only that, but foreign goods enough to last the entire year are being piled up in American importing houses.

As example of the spirit of uncompromising hostility between the two wings of the Democracy is found in the speech of ex-Senator Blackburn to the Popocratic convention at Frankfort last week in which he said that "the guillotine and the gallows is the proper retribution for traitors to the party.''

THE silver men in the Democratic party continue their efforts to drive the sound money Democrats into the Republican party, and they are meeting with great success. In every campaign planned thus far they are making silver the leading issue, and the result is that the decision of that once great party, which was begun in the campaign of last fall, is being made permanent.

EX-CANDIDATE HKYAN knows which side of his bread is buttered. lie is quite conscious of the fact that the return of the gold Democrats to the ranks of the Democracy would be fatal for his ambitions for the presidential candidacy in 1000. Hence, he has issued anew pronunciamento announcing that gold Democrats cannot be admitted to the Democratic party unless they abandon the gold standard and accept free silver as the principle of Democracy.

THE Gaylord Herald,published somewhere in Kansas, says that the expert inent tried there a year ago of electing women to fill all the city ollices has proved a complete success, the city business being conducted by them in a careful, economical and eflicieut manner. If we could elect women in Crawfordsville we venture to say that they would clean up all the back yards, especially in the business part of town, where t'uere is enough waste to till UP the Whitlock ravine.

Riorum.ICAN doctrines are evidently making rapid inroads in the South when such a rock-ribbed Democratic paper as the New Orleans Picayune can adopt Republican tariff principles as it does in the recent editorial which says: "The rice industry can thrive on nothing less than the protection accorded to it by the Dingley bill. It has suffered severely under the Wilson law, as the low rates of duty do not protect domestic rice producers from the foreign rico raised by the pauper labor of the Orient."

THE proposition to utilize Mr. Bryan 8S a campaign orator in sundry States and cities in the approaching campaign is a good one. Mr. Bryan visited twenty-eight States as a campaign orator during the recent Presidential campaign, and succeeded in carrying •••'••ssix of thein, five of those six having from time Immemorial been Democratic States. In all the large cities visited by him the Republican vote was enormous, and nearly every one of them was carried by the Republicans.

Jn eighty-live large cities of the United States, which in 1S'.'2 gave 102,000 Democratic plurality, the Republican plurality in 1890 was 461,000 and most of these cities were visited by Mr. Bryan during the campaign.

THE JOUHN'AI. is in favor of the "merit system" in the civil service, but it does not favor it as practiced by the Cleveland administration when it was used as a disguise by which spoilsmen of the worst sort accomplished their ends. The Senate committee on civil service which has been at work gathering evidence on «its practical workings has brought out a number of damaging facts, and the discovery that spoilsmen have been actively and successfully at work. Last week this committee inspected a document from the Public Printer stating that the working force in that department on April 1, as substantially arranged under Mr. Cleveland's lastadministration, was composed of 3,-lGO Democrats and 512 Republicans. At a previous silting the committeee was informed that of this force-seventy-five were appointed through Representative Richardson, of Tennessee, and 200 by Senator Gorman, Capt. R. H. Pratt, superintendent of the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa said he is not in favor of the spoils system, but is emphatically opposed to a civil service code that "disfranchises the judgment of those who are responsible for the success of the government seryice." He declared that in thirty years' experience he had never observed greater abuses under the old system than under the present.

THE latest health fad is to abolish breakfast in order to strengthen the stock of vitality and prolong life. It originated with a Pennsylvania philosopher which he has christened the "School of the Higher Life." He asserts that strength is not derivei! from food, but from the force that uses the material in repairing and building the body. This may be abstruse, but analyzed it means that force is maintained by a judicious use of food suited to the individual and by proper intervals of rest. It is strange that breakfast. which coines at the end of the longest period of fasting, should be chosen for elimination. liut this fad must have its run, as did the •'Graham' craze, followed by the "fruit" and the "nut" stage, and walking barefooted in the dewy grass before breakfast. These professors of health carry their crusades to an absurdity. They are generall3T the victims of thin living aud faulty thinking. Those who intelligently take breakfast, dinner and supper are as safe philosophers and guides as those who live exclusively on Graham bread, or fruit, or nuts, or wade in the dewy grass or starve them selves at the breakfast hour.

A I-'KW more such speeches in the Senatj as that with which Senator Vest opened the tariff debate would probably convince even the members of his own side of the advantages of protection. He quoted a series of statements showing the exportations of manufactured articles in the fiscal year, IS'.Hi, claiming that the increase in exportations was due to the Wilson law. A comparison, however, of his figures with those under the protective tariff show that in nearly every case the percentage of gain in exportations was greater under protection than under the Wilson law. If Mr. Vest's arguments area sample of those to be presented in support of the Democratic free-trade theory, the public will give them little weight.

THE most accurate business barometer is that which indicates the progress of business among the banks of the country. If their loans and discounts are heavy it is an evidence that the business men are preparing for reentering into active business pursuits. The May reports to the Comptroller of the Currency show a much improved condition of the national banks of the great cities in this particular. Their loans and discounts are increasing, individual deposits are heavy, and there is a general tone of improvement and an evidence of business revival which will increase from month to month when business is able to adjust itself to the new tariff.

THE arguments of Senator Vest, who is leading the tariff debate on the Democratic side, have lost much of their weight by the discovery of errors in the formidable table which he pre sented in his opening speech aud by which he attempted to show that the Wilson law had stimulated exports of manufacturers. More than half of his statements were at variance with the otlicial figures of the Treasury Department, while in nearly every case an examination showed that the percentage of gain in exports had been greater under a protective tariff than under the Wilson tariff.

PHKSIIMCXT LINCOLN'S first Congress did not meet until July 4, 1S01, four months after his inauguration, and many months after the secession of States had begun and after Fort Sumter had been tired upon. Yet people are impatient now because the Congress under President McKinley's administration has not met, framed a tariff bill, passed it in the house, digested it in the 'Senate, and passed it through that body, before the date at which President Lincoln it wise to even assemble his Congress.

DUN'S Review for last week shows that more business was done in May than in April and that the April busi-

ness was only 10 per cent less than that of the best vear on record. Business at present is being done at a smaller margin of profit, but the amount of busineos handled is large aud this will in turn stimulate other lines and bring about general activity.

THE political outlook for the gold Democrats is not very cheering when they turn their faces in the direction of the so-called Democracy. In New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa, and in pretty much every State where there is to be an election this fall, the free coinage of silver is being made a leading issue, and such "leaders" of that party as William Jennings Bryan and Richard Parks Bland are loudly proclaiming that there is no place in that party for men who do not believe in the free and uulimited coinage of silver.

WE pay foreign countries for sugar S100,000.000 a year, or about the sum received for our cereals exported. If the sugar beet can be successfully grown and handled in this country, and of that no doubt is felt by those best informed, §100,000,000 a year will be retained in this country, a new and profitable crop will bj added to the resources of the farmer, and a vast manufacturing industry opened to capital and labor.

THHIIK is reason to believe that the tarilf bill will pass the Senate during the present month. The Republicans are occupying no time in discussiou except to answer the points made against it by the Democrats, and the former will shortly ask the Senate to go into session an hour earlier than usual for the sake of pushing the bill through as rapidly as possible.

A Woman's Life Barely Saved by a Critical Operation—Her Health Destroyed.

There was a liurry call for the ambulance of the City TTospital. In the course of an hour a very stretcher. She was pale There was a liastv exam

Oh, my sisters, if you will not tell a doctor your troubles, do tell them to a woman who stands ever ready to relieve you! Write to Mrs. rinkham at Lynn, Mass., confide freely to her all your troubles, and she will advise you free of charge and if you have any of the above symptoms take the advice of Miss Agnes Tracy, who speaks from experience and says:

For three years I had suffered with inflammation of the left ovary, which caused dreadful pains. I was so badly affected that I had to sleep with pillows under my side, and then the pain was so great it was impossible to rest.

On Saturday evpuing, June 12. there will be an ice cream and lawn social at Henry Huys', three miles south of the city on the Danville road, known as the Bruce Carr farm. Let all come and have a good time.

iuation and a consultation. In less than a quarter of an hour the poor creature was on theoperating table to undergo the operation called ovariotomy.

Every month I was in bed for two or three days. I took seven bottles of Lydia E. Pinlcham's Vegetable Compound, and am entirely cured. I think there is no medicine to be compared with the Compound for female diseases. Every woman who suffers from any form of female weakness should try it at once." Miss AGNES TRACY, BOX 432, Valley City, N. D.

There was no time for the usual preparation. Iler left ovary was on the point of bursting when it was removed, it literally disintegrated. If it

had burst before removal, she would have died almost in

stantly! That young woman

had had warnings enough in the terrible pains, the burning sensation, the swelling low down on her left side. No one advised her, so she suffered tortures and nearly lost her life. I wish I had met her months before, so I could have told her of the virtues of Lydia E. 1'inkham's Vegetable Compound. As it is now, she is a wreck of a woman.
