FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3.1897.
WKSTKKN money has begun to seek employment iu the East. The boot is generally on the other leg, but so great is the abundance of funds in some of the newer portions of that country that the West is actually figuring- in the East as a leeder. This explains the statement which has often b?en made that prosperity is coming- from the West this year.
IsKXT Monday a session of Congress will begin which will
doubtleEs
be one
of the most interesting which has taken place since the war period. Among the great questions which will come up for action will be Hawaiian annexation.the Cuban matter, the restriction of immigration, currency reform and the general Canadian reciprocity issues. All these questious will be watched with interest by the intelligent and reading people of the country.
THK Rochester, N.Y., Common Council has voted to make a new contract for the use of the Myers ballot machine at future elections in that city. Many improvements have been made in the machine, so that now it Is conbidered nearly perfect in recording the will of the voter with celerity and accuracy, By the use of this machine the result of the election in the whole city may be known within twenty minutes or less time after the polls close.
THE Indianapolis Journal remarks that "the year following a Presidential election is apt to furnish a large number of instances of postoflice appointments that are loaded, and the present year is no exception." And strange to say there are many Congressmen who are opposed to reducing the destruction of the patronage buzz saw to its minimum. The disposal of the postoflices and other olliees by Congressmen is a source of weakness rather than strength.
1
HY an article taken from the Indianapolis News, elsewher.e printed, it will be seen that the sentiment in favor of the Republican State Convention nominating a candidate for United States Senator is growing and increasing iu strength. The party leaders and managers recognize the fact that a "head" is needed for the ticket in an off year as badly as it is needed in a Presidential year, especially in the next campaign when the money question is bouud to be the leading issue.
EviDKN'uiiS are at hand that the era of good times has set in all over the country. The wage schedule of 1S93 has been restored to abGut 25,000 operatives of the Providence and National worsted mills at Olneyville, R. 1. This increase amounts to -'0 per cent. Other mill owners have fallen into line and the indications are that restoration of wages is becoming general. The country seems to be reaching the point where the gradual but steady return of prosperity begins to manifest itself iu numerous restorations of wages to the point at which they stood a few years ago. Probably the most extensive single increase of this kind which has taken place since the hard times set in four years ago is that which has just been announced, affecting 10,000 empioyesof the Missouri
Pacific and Iron Mountaiu railroad -system.. President George .1. Gould has issued an order restoring the wages and salaries which were, cut down from to 10 per cent, iu ls93 to what they were before the cut.
it EST men ox OK IM.M IUKATIOX. One of the pressing questions that will come before Congress at the approaching session will be that of a further restriction of immigration. The Immigration Restriction Rill, passed by both houses of Congress at its last regular session, but vetoed by President Cleveland, contained two fundamental provisions: first, exclusion of illiterates second, making it unlawful for aliens, not intending to become citizens, to work in the United States and return home from time to time. The two provisions are clearly not necessarily parts of tlia same bill. The one seeks by a simple educational test to raise the standards of immigrants, making them more gam rally fit for citizenship in this repubile. The other is aimed at certain Canadian workmen, who have worked by the day in this country, notably at Detroit, and re-1
turned into Canada at night, and also at Italians and other "birds of passage," as the workingmen who enter this country on or more timeB for temporary residence, are called. There are special reasons why the two provisions should be taken up separately by the next Congress. The exodus of our own citizens to the Klondike, and acrosB the Northwestern border line, intending to sojourn temporarily, makes legislation calculated to prevent the temporary sojourn of Canadians in this country an unwise and unnecessary complicatipn. The fducalipnal
test stands out how a& &hiurgeiat necessity for good government in this country restjupon intelligence and the prosperity of working people here depends upon the ^standards of living among newcomers,' with whom they are brought into competition. It is inappropriate to measure this question in terms of production. It is a question of human character, and, in the great effort for self-government undertaken by thepeople of this country, it is altogether[unfortunate that foreigners should be introduced into the laud who do not understand our institutions and who are applicants for work at wages satisfactory perhaps to employers but fwliich are a grave menace to other workmen, who have hoped to procure more of the decencies of life. That immigrants into this country of free institutions shall be able to read and write, is a'rnatter of universal importance to the people of this country. It would be unfortunate if this restriction should be so linked with one of comparatively local application, however good it may seem in itself to many persons, that the educational test should again fail to become the law of the land.

SOCIETY WOMEN USE IT.
Mrs. Kester Haines, Prominent New York Hostess, Relieved of Insomnia By Paine's Celery Compound.
There exists among women who are much in society a form of weariness resulting from over-taxed nerves, more intense and depressing than any known to tired muscles.
The overcrowded lives of such women makes them slaves of anxieties and annoyances which they cannot ignore.
The following letter from one of New York's busiest hostesses shows how implicitly Paine's celery compound is relied on aniong the most intelligent, well-to-do families, as well as in the more humb.e households all over the country:
NKW YOKK CITY, Oct.
0, 1 SOT.
Gentlemen—I think it is but fair to you that I
bear testimony to the bene
ficial results of my use of Paine's celery compound. Two years ago I was almost a wreck from nervous prostration, resulting from overwork, mental and physical I had lost tnv memory comp'etelv and friends feared I would never recover. After trying several remedies to no avail, my physician prescribed Paine's celery compound, and within a few days there wen a decided improvement in my condition.
After the use of three bottles I was so much better that it was unneces sary to continue its use. Since then I have recommended it widely, and have yet to hear that it has fai'ed do all that I claim for it.

To any one suffering from any of the ills attendant on continued loss of sleep I can and do heartily recommend it. Very truly yours,
MAYME L. HAINKS.
In all cases of nervous prostration, nervous indigestion, neuralgia, sleeplessness, hysteria or incessant headache, the objective point of a true remedy like Paine's celery compound is to make more blood, gather flesh and increase the number of red, health giving corpuscles in the blood
Paine's celery compound fills the vessels with red blood, drives out the dangerous humors and thus gives relief to a host of paine6, aches and weaknesses.
Women and men who have lost ilesh and grown colorless and are subject to aches and pains, gain quickly in health from Paine's celery compound. There is barely a family of any size where there is not a member who is feeble, forever tired and below the standard of health to whom Paine's celery comDound would prove of invaluable help. Not only does this great invigorator drive out the aches and distresses that, have accumulated because of neglected rheumatism or neuralgia, but the liberal gain in llesh and blood that is al-' ways a noticeable and encouraging result of its use, brings about better health in the digestive, assimilative and secretive nrpans in other words all over the bodv
