FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1897

IT is suggested that an interesting exhibit for the proposed trans-Missis-sippi exhibition would be a stack of cancelled mortgages to which the farmers of the entire Mississippi Vallew would be able to make liberal contributions.

THKRK is now in the national treasury S104,080,2G0 in gold and §507,050,382 in silver. And this, too, iu the face of the fact that a "crime" was committed in 1S73 by which silver was "demonetized." "struck down" and "assassinated."

SrKAkin of the Klondike, the Engineering and Mining World says: "When the ten millions or so of dollars come down from there next year, don't get excited, but remember they are the sole product of a year's ln.bor of from 6,000 to 8,000 men, who cannot afford to work gravel that yields less than one ounce of gold per man per day. If those who think of going to the Yukon country to get rich will work as hard- and undergo as many privations here at home in the pursuit of money they will, we have no doubt, be richer at the end of five years here than will be the average of those who go to Klondike. The Klondike is not nearly as rich as California was in 1850, nor as many districts in California and some other States are today."

THE enemies of the civil service system will be disappointed that Pre ident McKinley firmly adheres to is, one of the cardinal doctrines of the Republican party. We say "cardinal" authoritively for the reason that it has been a prominent plank in every Republican National platform since 1872. It has been iterated and reiter ated so often and endorsed by every Republican candidate for President from Grant to McKinley that it is as much a "cardinal" principle of the party as that of protection. Therefore when we find the President saying, in reference to civil service, that "the system has the approval of the people, and it will be my endeavor to uphold and extend it," we applaud the sentiment, and congratulate the people upon its utterance.

THE .JOURNAL has received a marked copy of the North Vernoa RcinUilican, in which it makes a most bitter assault on Senator Fairbanks and the gentleman whom he recommended to be .postmasier at North Vernon, Fred H. Nauer. Mr. Nauer happens to be the editor of the Plain Dealer, the rival Republican paper of that town, and this accounts for the milk in the cocoanut. Mr. Nauer has been a member of the Republican State Editorial Asso ciation for many years and in his intercourse with

hiB

editorial brethren

he has conducted himself in a quiet, unassuming manner and always as a gentleman. His Republicanism has never been called in question even in the remotest degree. From this distance it bears all the evidence of a local factional fight iu which no person outside the town is in the least interested. Should the Legislature be called in extraordinary session to prevent the waste of natural gas in Hamilton county it should, while it is in the business, direct its attention to Jennings county.

OANENT the approaching Congressional race in the Ninth district, the Tipton Advocate, in a semi-humorous vein, applies its cant-hooks and proceeds to turn over and overturn some of the statesmen of Hamilton county who are not only willing but anxious to warm the upholstered chair now occupied by Congressman Landis. The Advocate say6:

As 1899 is near at hand and a great campaign is in store, prospective candidates are looming up for the various oifices. In the Ninth district a Congressional convention without one or more candidates from Hamilton county would be like a circus without a clown. Noblesville is a town that is ebnek full of statesmen, and political pie ie never passed around that a half dozen hands from Noblesville are not reaching for it. Already the Congressional bee is humming around the ears of these statesmen. The dear people i6 just "a callin' on 'em" to come out for Congress. There is Tom Boyd and Bob Graham and Dr. Tucker and Dick Stephenson and George Shirts and Ralph Kane that have out their Hags for an oliice. They are kniiing cach other, telling stories on one another and biting and back-biting at each other. Of course these statesmen

claim a kind of guardianship over Tipton county, and our votes beloDg to them by right of discovery. In other words, they expect Tipton county delegates to sneeze every time that a Noblesville statesman takes snp.ff.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE President McKinley's first mesagn to Congress in regular session is printed in full in to-day's JOURNAL. It is a document of considerable length yet it should be carefully read by everv citizen and voter. The message i6 the utterance of a sincere man, and the topics discussed are those mainly that the people have been talking about for many months. With a correct appreciation of the relation of tilings, the President observes that "tariff legislation having been settled by the extra session of Congress, the question next pressing for consideration is that of the currency." In hisopinion, "the evil of the present system is found in the great cost to the Government of maintaining the parity of our different forms of money—that is, keeping th am all at a parity with gold," and aB a remedy for that evil he recommends "as soon aB the receipts of Government are quite sufficient to pay all the expenses of Government that when any of the United States notes are presented for redemption in gold and are redeemed in gold, such notes shall be kept and set apart and only paid out in exchange for gold." In the matter of the Cuban war he expresses himself as opposed to the recognition at the present time of either the belligerency or the independence of the insurgents, but concludes with this statement: "If it shall hereafter appear to be a duty imposed by our obligations to ourselves, to civilization and humanity, to intervene with force, it shall be without fault on our part and only because the necessity for such action will be so clear as to command the support and approval of the civilized world." In the matter of Hawaiian annexation the President declares that "every consideration of dignity and honor requires" the prompt confirmation of tho treaty for the consummation of that so little to be desired departure from the rule ana policy that have heretofore confined our acquisitions cf territory to the mainland of North America. Several othe~ topics are touched upon,such as the navy, seals, the Xicaraugua canal, fciie bimetallic commission, our foreign commerce, international arbitration, the Indians, and the civil service, but the currency and Cuban questions are di mussed at length. On the civil service question he takes no backward step from the repeated declarations of the Republican party and which is in accord with the best thought of the country. Every intelligent citizen will find this oflicial paper well worth reading from beginning to end. and none should fail to give it a careful perusal.

I would be more appropriBle if Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews were President of Washington and Lee University in Virginia than that he should be at the head of Brown University in Rhode Island. He delivered a lecture at Central Music Hall in Chicago on Monday night in which he proclaimed General Robert E. Lee the most valiant and most heroic military genius of modern times. "General Lee joined the Confederacy because Virginia asked him to," said the doctor. "He was a Virginian. The call of Virginia to any of her sons i6 the voice of law and duty. He had the faith of the crusader: bis letters would make a guide to holiness. He was always a soldier, never profane or obscene. He did not touch the cup as did Grant, Hooker or Phil Sheridan, and when he lost a fight it was never said of him that the defeat was due to a habit whieh makes men's heads into muddles. He wa6 never outgeneraled by Grant in all the campaigns from Rappahanaoik to James River, never trapped and never caught napping." And it is just such rot aB this that^this puffed individual calls "freedom of thought." Dr. Andrews had no word of praise jr that other Virginian, General George H. Thomas, who believed that the call of the Nation was louder and more imperative than the call of Virginia. General Lee may have never been caught "napping" but the man who parts his name in the middle must admit that Grant "trapped" him at Appomattox. The less the country hears from E. Benjamin Andrews on any subject the better it will be lor the country.

RAILROAD men who voted for McKinley and sound money last year, without reference to their former party affiliations, will not regret their action when they examine the figures showing the earnings-of the companies in whose success they are interested. The July, August and September earnings of eight of the largest railway systems of the country show increased earnings of from one to two million dollars each for the three months in question.

The Little Traveler.

F. A. Gilkey, representing the Little Traveller Fence Machine Company, after a sojourn of eight wee'.is in this and adjoining ccuul'es, has left for Tipton. He left a good record behind him and besides treating everybody on the cquare sold six hundred machines.

THE school board now estimates that the Willson building will cost, complete and ready for occupancy, the sum of §19,000. This somewhat exceeds the first estimates, when it was believed and so given out that the cost would be Sir,000. This sum was remarkably low and no person at all familiar with the cost of construction believed for a moment that such a building could be erected within those figures. Many asserted that its cost would be not less than 530,000. The gratifying announcement is now made that it will be considerably less than 520,000. The buildintr is certainly a very handsome structure aud one in which every citizen should feel proud. As Bob Burdette said the other day in passing this elegant building: "Show me the school houses of a community and I'll tell you what kind of a community it is."

THK missionary societies of the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Continental Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, number 249, with 4,094 stationt, and 15,200 out-stations. There are 11,059 missionaries, 04,290 native laborers, and 1,121.089 communicants. There are 913,478 persons under instruction, and the income income in all these countries is 812,9^8,087.

That is the record of the earnings of the Dingley law in its first four months, a steady, healthful growth which indicates that long before its first year has ended it will be producing a surplus, something unknown in the history of the Wilson law.

MRS. LYNESS ESCAPES

The Hospital and a Fearful Operation.

Hospitalsin greatcities are sad places to visit. Threefourths of the patients lying on those snow-white beds are women and girls. "Why should this be the case

Because they have neglected themselves! Women as a rule attach too little importance to first symptoms of a certain kind. If they have toothache, they will try to save the tooth, though many leave even this too late. They comfort themselves with the thought that they can replace their teeth but they cannot replace their internal organs

Every one of those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warnings in the form of bearing-down feelings, pain at the right or the left of the womb, nervous dyspepsia, pain in the small of the back, the blues," or some other unnatural symptom, but they did1 not heed them.

CHAINED ELEVEN YEARS.

Shocking Maltreatment of" an Insane Man lu Pennsylvania. PITTSBURG, Dec. 8.—Humane Agent O'Brien has unearthed one of tho most shocking cases of maltreatment of the insane ever recorded iu western Pennsylvania at Cline's Hollow. The officer lias ascertained that Franklin Pearce Cline, now -13 years old, lias been for the past 11 years chained to an iron bar in a manner so as not to permit him to to move in any direction more than six or eight feet. He is a raving maniac, and during his long period of incarceration lie has been kept constantly in a state of nudity.

Agent O'Brien says Cline was kept in a small outhouse, constructed especially for him. When lie called to see him the room was in a filthy condition and there •was not a vestige of anything for tho sufferer to lay upon.

The nflicer says Cline's relatives are nmplv able to care for him properly and tliev will be forced to do so.

Don't drag along at home or in the shop until you are finally obliged to go to the hospital and submit to horrible examinations and operations I Build up the female organs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will save you from the hospital. It will put new life into you.

PICTURES BY TELEGRAPH.

Device S:ii«t to Have a Successfully Tested In ST. PAUL. Dec. S.—A new device for the transmission of pictures by telegraph has been successfully tested in this city. The inventor is Ernest A. Ilumniell, a local jeweler. The deviec combines three or four different motive powers. Both transmitter anil receiver, but for the projecting table on which the drawing oi' the picture in the one or the blank paper for the impression in the other is placed, would not occupy more space than an ordinary typewriting machine. Each has at one corner a diminutivo electric motor, smaller in size than tho case of a small pair of operaglasses, tho purpose of which is to operate tho carriage which hauls the copying pencils back and forth over tho area to bo copied.

Last February, I had a miscarriage caused by overwork. It affected my heart, caused me to have sinking spells three to four a day, lasting sometimes half a day. I could not be left alone. I flowed constantly. The doctor called twice a day for a week, and once a day for four weeks, then three or four times a week for four months. Finally he said I would have to undergo an operation. Then I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and

after one week I began to recover and steadily improved until I was cured completely. By taking the Pinkham medicine, I avoided an operation which the doctor said I would certainly have to undergo. I am gaining every day and will cheerfully tell anyone what you have done for me."—MBS. THOSLYITESS, 10 Frederick St., Rochester, N. Y.

Catarrh to Consumption

Catarrh invariably leads to consumption. Growing worse and worse each winter, those who roly upon the usual treatment of sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures find that it is impossible to check the disease with these local applications which only reach the surface. The offensive discharge increases all the while, and gets deeper until it is only a question of a short time when the lungs are affected.

The importance of the proper treatment cau therefore be readily appreciated. But no good whatever can be expected from local applications, as such treatment never did cure Catarrh, and never will. Being a blood disease of the most obstinate nature, Swift's Specific (S.S.S.) is the only remedy which can have the slightest effect upon Catarrh. It is the only blood remedy that goes down to the bottom of all stubborn diseases which other remedies cannot reach.

Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West, S. C., writes: "I had such a severe case of Catarrh that I lost my hearing in one ear, and part of the bone in my nose sloughed off. was constantly treated with sprays and washes, but each winter the disease seemed to have a firmer hold on me.

I had finally been declared incurable when I decided to try S. S. S. It

L*

seemed to get right at the seat of the

disease, and cured me permanently, for I have had no touch of Catarrh for seven years."

The experience of Mr. Chas. A. Parr, of Athens, Ga., was like that of all others who ^ainly seek a cure in local treatment. He says: "For years I suffered from a severe case of Catarrh, the many offensive symptoms being accompanied by severe pains in the head. I took several kinds of medicines recommended for Catarrh, and used various local applications, but they had no effect whatever. I was induced to take S. S. S. (Swift's Specific) and after four months I was perfectly well, and have never felt any effects of the disease since."

Those who have had the first toucliof Catarrh will save endless suffering by taking the right remedy at the outset. Others who have for years sought relief and found only disappointment in local treatment will find it wise to waste no' further time on sprays, washes, inhaling mixtures, etc., which are only temporary, and cannot save them from dreaded Consumption. They should take a remedy which will cure them because it can reach their trouble. S.S.S. is the only blood remedy which can reach Catarrh it promptly gets at the very bottom of the disease, and cures it permanently.

S.S.S. (Swift's Specific) is a real blood remedy, and cures the most obstinate cases of Catarrh, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Cancer, Scrofula and Eczema, which other so-called blood remedies have no effect upon whatever. S.S.S. is the only blood remedy guaranteed
