"WE" COLLAPSE.
Not wishiug to even appear unfair
to any one we give space this issue
ou our tirst page to another lettei
from Mr. Chinrj, which under other
conditions, we would have to reject.
Out of the multitude of words it
Uisplaye a commendable spirit of
frankness, aud we like hin diapaa

and the iucident ia closed. (We
deem it necessary to my that this
last sentence is intended for humor:

The editor is very glnd to Itnrn
from his correspoudeut that he iias
not been long enough in the couutv
to become contaminated by the influ

factional light, aud hopes he may
continue to keep his garnients white.
Through deference to his diselaim

The annual report of Pension
Commissioner Evans shows a total
of 9S3.529 pensioners. Thia bringd
to uiind the current report that the
President is about to transfer Com?
missioner Evaus to the position of
First Assistant Postmaster-General,
recently held by Perry S. Heath.
The Richmoud Ditpmtdk tmggests
that if thia shall he done the ex
plaoation will no4 be far to seek.
Kvans has niade ? most excellent
Commissioner of Peusions, and for
that reason has proved a thorn in tbe
side of the pension sharks. Jlt>
seems to have honestly endeavored
to protect the Treasury from heing
looted through pension legislation,
and as aconsequence, Mr. McKinl. v,
who has so far stuck to him, has
receifed repeated warnings from
Grand Army sources that a more
"liberal" man in the oflice of Com?
missioner "was desired." In Novem
ber the "soldier vote" and the in
Huenceof the pension attorinya mav
be needed by the admimstration.
"Nuff sed."
Ll HcifO Chanc is worth $500,
000,000?enough to buy him a few
subatitutea, after the rmnnerof his
people, for beheading purpoaes
should he fall into displeasure with
hissovereign.
The result of the expectt>d battle
BetBBBBn the allies and the (Jhinese is
-otjuthing to opeu theevea of W l
ern nations. That an army of SO,*
tnd thOBI are fiijureeof
KuropeausJ ahould make BJBOh
i>oi^taj)Ce against 1 ?'>,()< )0 soldiers,
the tlower of Keropc and Atmrua.
will rndely disabuse the mind of
? be BBOtt adve.uced peoples as to the
nl fighting abilities of the Ori
etitals. The immediato issue of the
battle, however, was uever donbted,
no matter whitt the foree ot tha I I
my oppoaed to the allies. If, though.
on the other hand, the allies had
beec defeutcd a state ol atl'aii>
Bneh as the world never saw would
have resulted. Thepopnlaoaof China.
iti that tvetit, would have risen sim
ultaneously. throughout the king*
dom, and foreigner and Bmtta
Chiiatians would have been slaugh
tered to a man. Only the crushinir
defoti of the Chineee troops at
lien-Tsi'i and the capture of the
Taku forts has restrained the
(Jhinese so far.
Ihk releasing of the anarchist
who recently shot at the Prio
Wales in Belgium seems to have
gieen an iaapetm to aaBaaainaljiiii,
which so lately found a sl.itung
MM in the good king, Humbert, of
Italy. It now develops that the
CV.ar of Hus8ia and Emperor Wil
liam were also marked by a regu
iarly organized band of auarchista,
while the Shah of Persia and Kings
Alexander, of Servia, but bareh
aaoaped bulleta a day or two after
llumbert's death. All crowned heads
and rresidents have been 'moved to
take extra precautions against the
attaeka of notoriety-seeking cranks
and organized assassins.
The Secretary of the Treaaury
reoently promulgated a glowiti"
st.tement of the tinancial condition
of this country, among other things
recitingthe eiiortiious output of gold
during receut years and the anaoonl
now in circulation in this country.
That oflicial ever since the report
was given to the pubiic has been
trying to accouut for a shortage of
so suiall a suui as four hundred
millione in order to make his sheets
tally with facta. This he ia unable
to locate. Possihly Li Ilung Chang
haa had it eecretly exported for his
own use. He ia said to have a few
hundred millions of the yellow stnfT
nalted down.
The phenomenal record just made
by Mr. Whitney's :)-year-old Kilmar?
nock,, rnnning II miles in I:
brings to mind the many inquiries
as to the derivation or signitlcation
of the name "Kilmarnock"?which
ia alao that of one of the thriving
busiuesseentres of Lancaster countv.
It is Scotch, and the name of a
nanton in the llighlands. Lord
Kilmarnock was one of the rebelhous
Catholic OhiaftBina that was behead
ed by Queen Elizabeth.
Now that Lancaster ia no longer quar
antiuud her boya and girls can reaume

"Tallow" Dick Combs, the negro
wh ) was accused of having lired the
?hot which killed (Joebel, has co?
?1 to all he kmw about the
mattar, alleging that he was offered
$1,200 to do the ahooting, but re
fooed. On the night of .January
2?th, Combs says, Hockersmith told
him he had OOBO at Caleb Powers'
office with some uien who wanud
him (Hockersmith) to kill Goebel.
Hockersmith said: "One of them
offered me $1,200 to do it and showed
nie the money and let me put my
hand on it."
A witnesssays: "Youtsey was in
the room, but did not fire the shot.
He was writing on the hall door
when QocW fell. There were four
men in the room besides Yontsev.
Ooc of these fired the shot. and the

their just powers, not from superior

Look at your tongue.
Is it coatcd ?
Then you have a bad
taste in your mouth every
morning. Your appetite
is poor, and food dis
tresses you. You have
frei;uent headaches and
are often dizzy. Your
stomach is weak and
your bowels are always
constipated.
There's an old and re
Iiable cure:
Don t take a cathartic
dose and then stop. Bet
tcr take a laxative dose
each night, just enough to
causeonegood freemove
ment the day following.
You feei better the
very next dav. Your
appetite returns, your
dyspepsia is cured, your
headaches pass away,
your tongue clears up,
your liver acts well, and
your bowels no longer
give you trouble.
