St. Louis Post-Dispatch: If some of
ficeholders exerted themselves as much
for their city, slate or country as they
do for their party, what an improvement

It is hardly fair for members of our
jjarty to recall the predictions made by
the other side four years previous. No
body attaches any importance to elec

Philadelphia Record: In the great ag
ricultural state of Indiana the country
vote outnumbers the city vote by two to
one, and hence the pleas of spellbinders
find partisan campaign committees have
Ibeen addressed especially to the farm
ers. For 28 years past the vote of the
Hoosier state has alternated between
the two leading parties at presidential
elections, and this year it is the opposi
tion's turn. Trust or anti-trust is the
chief issue presented in Indiana, with
the agriculturist vote as arbiter of the
ftuestion. Under such conditions it is
scarcely surprising that both parties
f hould confidently claim the state, or
that the outcome should be shrouded in
obscurity. The "man with the hoe" us
ually wails until election day to stand
up and be counted.
TACTS ABOUT TRUSTS X.
From the N. Y. World.
It is with a shout of joy that the Na
tional Steel company, of Youngstown,
O.. announces that it has sent out a
train of forty cars loaded with 1.000 tons
cf steel rails destined for New Zealand.
What a stirring spectacle! And what
a deep and fervid joy the incident must
lhave wrought in the hearts of the rail
road managers who are forced to buy
American steel rails!
The shipment of this 1,000 tons of
lYoungstown, rails to New Zealand
proves that American rails can compete
In price with English rails. Why then
Is the tariff tax of $7.S4 a ton main
tained? In order that the powerful com
bination known as the steel-rail pool
may be enabled to make an abnormal
rrofit on its product.
Steel rails can be manufactured In
this country for $17.50 a ton. Adding to
this the tariff tax, J7.S4, we have J25.34
as the price which may be charged if
IKnglish rails cannot be landed for less
than the cost of domestic rails plus the
cluty. As a matter of fact the pool is
c harging $26 in the domestic market and
is getting what price it can for rails for
export. The 1,000 tons which left
lYoungstown may have cost the New
pealanders anywhere from $6 to $4 less
than the list price for rails for domestic
Use.
As 1.000 tons of rails can be sold at a
. profit In this country for $18,000. every
pale of such an amount at the "list price
of $26,000 Is a gift made by the tariff
Jaw to the steel-rail makers of $3,000
taken from the railroads.
The rails that go to New Zealand and
other foreign countries are evidence of
the fact that protection is not needed
fcy the steel-rail industry. Incidentally
It is also evidence that its wealth is
largely due to the tariff.
THAT STRANGE UNREST.
From the Washington Post.
For more than a quarter of a century,
or since the abnormal conditions crea
ted by the civil war disappeared, the
American people have refused to re
elect any president who offered himself
as a candidate for their suffrage. More
than this, two of the most important
etates in the union. New York and Indi
ana, have alternated in presidential
years in their majorities. In other
states enormous majorities hare been
reversed in the short space of 24 months,
Tiotably when Illinois went Republican
in ISM by 1C3,000 after having given ita
electoral vote to Cleveland in 1S92 by
over 26,000 majority. In New Jersey,
too, the S7.000 majority by which McKin
ley secured the state in IS'.rj almost en
tirely disappeared in 1898 ,and today the
tate is regarded as doubtful. From the
standpoint of purely practical politics
the warning to the Republican mana
gers from these figures is that no reli
ance is to be placed upon the majorities
which McKlnley obtained four years
ago. Excessive and unusual as these
majorities were, they can be experience
proves that they have been swept aside
without apparent reason. They are not
infallible guides. But beyond all this,
the results of the elections during the
past 20 years demonstrate the existence
of a feeling of strange unrest among the
people. Harrison's defeat in 1S92 has
never been accounted for on logical
grounds. It was the result of an inex
plicable desire for a change. Swayed by
causes which the political philosopher
has not yet fathomed and which certain
ly no one has attempted to explain, the
pendulum of public sentiment . swings
backward and forward. There is no sat
isfactory reason offered today why the
administration of President McKinley
should be rebuked. It has been marked
by a wonderful degree of prosperity; it
has been glorified by victories on land
and sea; it has seen the territory of the
nation expanded in every direction. And
yet, viewed in the light of past elections,
no one can confidently assert today that
the people will render a verdict of ap
proval. Unquestionably this would seem
to be the outcome of the campaign, but
equally true Is it that the restlessness of
the American people has not entirely
disappeared. If the desire for a change
which has been so emphatically mani
fested in the past is still uppermost in
the American mind, the 6th of next No
vember will be an eventful day.

One of the troubles in every news

complain, so that any way you fix it,
editors are meaner than ever after every
amateur show.

Promises to cure and keeps the
promise. Ask your druggist for It
today and accept no substitute.
FOR MANY YEARS
Physicians Have Been Seeking a
Reliable Pile Cure-
For years physicians have experi
mented in vain, seeking a remedy
which would effectually cure piles and
similar rectal troubles without resorting
to surgical operations.
Many salves, ointments and other
remedies were found to give only tem
porary relief but none could be depended
upon to make a lasting, satisfactory
cure.
Within the past few years however a
remedy called the Pyramid Pile Cure,
has been repeatedly tested in hundreds
of cases and, with highly satisfactory
results.
The first effect of this remedy is to In
stantly remove the pain and irritation
and from that time on the cure rapidly
progresses and before the patient is
hardly aware of it he is entirely cured.
The Pyramid Pile Cure seems to act
directly upon the nerves and blood ves
sels of the parts affected as it comes into
direct contact with them and sets up a
healthy action which in a perfectly
natural way reduces the swelling and in
llammation. The Pyramid Pile Cure performs the
cure without pain or inconvenience to
the sufferer and is justly considered one
of the most meritorious discoveries of
modern medicine.
Piles is a most annoying and often
times dangerous disease with which hu
manity is afflicted. If neglected it frs
ciuently develops into fistula or some
fatal or incurable rectal trouble, whereas
by the timely use of this simple but
effective remedy no one need suffer a
single day from any form of piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is perfectly
harmless, contains no mineral poison,
opiate or dangerous drug of any kind.
It is in suppository form composed of
emollient oils and astringents, and is ap
plied at night and absorbed into the
parts affected during sleep.
Druggists everywhere sell full sized
treatments of the Pyramid Pile Cure at
50 cents per package.
The uniform success of the remedy
has made it the most popular and best
known of any form of treatment for
piles.

HAVE FUN WITH HANNA.
Dakota Farmers Jolly the Re
publican Chairman.
Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. 17. The meet
ing at Aberdeen developed some lively
questioning between Senator Hanna and
people in the crowd which had as
sembled to hear the Republican leaders.
The speaking was done from a stand
erected in front of the grain palace.
Senator Frs'e spoke briefly, taking im
perialism as his main subject, and ridi
culing the issue, asking the people of
South Dakota, some of whom had lost
sons in the Philippines, if they feared
such a thing. Senator Hanna was them
introduced.
' Hello, Mark!" yelled the crowd.
Mr. Hanna then proceeded to discuss
the tariff.
"What about the trusts?" asked some
one in the crowd. "We want to know
about the trusts."
"Well, my friend, if you will tell me
what a trust is, I'll answer your ques
tion," said Mr. Hanna. No reply came.
"Well, if you don't know, I'll tell you,"
continued Mr. Hanna. "A trust under
the law and what is known as a trust
in commerce is where the stock of a
corporation is put into the hands of a
trustee, carrying with it the voting
power. Every single organization of
that kind that ever had its existence in
the United States has been wiped out
through the action of the Sherman law,
and that law was put upon the statute
books of the United States by a Repub
lican congress."
Mr. Hanna then proceeded with his
speech, but a moment later was again
interrupted by a question regarding the
Cleveland ship builders' association.
"Say, senator, that man thinks the
world is flat; don't pay any attention to
bim," yelled a farmer.
"All right," said Mr. Hanna with a
laugn, "but I would like to stay here
all day and discuss this thing. But I
want to tell you that the flattest of all
flatness will be. the Democratic party
Lext month."
Cheers for Pettigrew mingled with the
cheers for McKinley and Hanna that
were given as the speaker concluded.
The party was then driven to the train.
GAYS Oil HEARING.
Continued Before United States Com
missioner Shields.
New York, Oct. 17. The hearing- in
the proceedings to secure the removal of
John F., W. T. and E. H. Gaynor and
Benjamin D. Greene to the jurisdiction
of the United States court in Georgia on
a charge of conspiracy to defraud the

The cross-examination of John M.
Barnes, United States marshal or t
southern district of Georgia, was contin
ued by counsel for the defendant who
asked as to the possession by witness of
the jury box and the key from which
the grand jury was drawn November 22,
1899. Witness said as marshal he re
tained possession of the key and the box
was in charge of the clerk of the court
where the jury was drawn.
The object of the question was to
show that the jury was illegally chosen.

tion said he had never given up the key
of the jury box to the commissioner of
jurors or the clerk of the court.
The next witness, Lenon M. Erwin,
deputy clerk of the United States dis
trict court at Macon, testified that he
received the jury box from Savannah
and from which the grand jury was
drawn, by express on or about Novem
ber 20, 1&99. a day or two before the

was impanelled.
Witness said there had been no exami
nation of the contents of the box after
it had been received by him.

AN OLD YEAR BALL.
Major Anderson Suggests One For
New Year's Eve In Auditorium.
Major Anderson has suggested a cen
tury ball to be given on the evening of
December 31, in the Auditorium, for the
benefit of the seat fund.
In telling about the plan Major An
derson said to a State Journal reporter:
"I would think that this could be made
a successful venture. My idea would be
to make this a social function in which
all the members of the best dancing
clubs in town and others could take hold
of and help along.
Every one who came on the floor to
dance would of course be required to be
in costume. Costumes patterned after
the dress of people of the different cen
turies would be worn by the majority of
dancers, but of course there would be
clowns, court jester's and others out
of the ordinary to break the monotony.
"A nominal admission could be charged
for those who wanted to take seats in
the balcony and view the scene."

Senate Chamber Granted For
Use of United State Court.
The United States circuit court will meat

Owing to the repairs on the government
building the regular room was not avail
able. The Commercial club appointed a
committee to secure temporary quarters
for the court. The executive council to
day informed P. I. Bonebrake, chairman
of the committee, that the application for
the senate chamber had been granted.
QUA IT APPEALS FOR AID.
Asks McKinley to Help Him Out In
Pennsylvania Campaign.
Washington, Oct. 17. Former Senator
Quay of Pennsylvania today made a
personal appeal to the president for help
to enable him to carry the legislature
of the Keystone state for the Republi
cans. Since his appointment by the gov
ernor of Pennsylvania to a seat in the
senate was turned down last winter,
through the efforts of Mark Hanna, the
Pennsylvania boss has been bitter in
his denunciation of Mr. McKInley's man
ager and on the outs with the adminis
tration. It is therefore certain that
Quay would not appeal to the president
for aid unless he thought the legislature
of Pennsylvania was in grave danger
of being carried by the Democrats, as
sisted by the anti-Quay forces.
Boss Quay has been on the stump in
Pennsylvania for the past two weeks.
People who have been with him say that
he has met with a frost everywhere he
has spoken and that he has openly ad
mitted that his trip has not been suc
cessful. Mr. Quay asserts that the op
position in his own party is responsible
for this condition of affairs and his call
on the president today was for the pur
pose of appealing to the chief executive
to interfere in the fight and to call off
the dogs of war. It is reported that Mr.
McKinley listened with great attention
to Quay's statements, but firmly declin
ed to mix up in the fight.
JOEPAZEN SHOT.
Zorah Card Shoots Proprietor of a
Theatrical Exchange.
Chicago, Oct. 17. Joe Pazen, proprie
tor of the Pazen Theatrical exchange,
was shot in the abdomen today by Zorah
Card, an actress. Pazen was taken
to the county hospital in a critical condi
tion. The shooting occurred ir. Pazen's office
in the presence of two or three persons.
Pazen ran into an adjoining office, hold
ing his stomach and calling for a doctor.
Shortly after this the Card woman
came in twirling the smoking revolver
in her fingers. Pazen asked why she did
not get away while she had a chance.
"Why should I?" she replied. "I shot
you in self-defense."
She then gave herself up to the police.
The two are thought to have quar
relled over some theatrical engagement.
IIEAV Y EXCURSION TRAFFIC
Season's Record is Broken In Topeka
Today.
Kxcursion traffic, arising from the
cheap tickets sold Monday, was the
heaviest of the season through Topeka
today. It was a cheap excursion day
for all the roads and resulted in the big
gest business of that kind that has been
done so far.
Santa Fe train No. 1 for Oklahoma and
the Southwest, last night, left Topeka
doubleheaded and carrying seventeen
cars. No. 5 and No. 1 today carried ex
tra equipment.
The Rock Island was selling northwest
for the first time and southwest for the
last time authorized to date. Three hun
dred and thirty-five passengers were
started from west of the river yesterday.
Extra equipment was attached to the
several trains and No. 11 was run in two
sections today.

Mr. David Higgins Presents His Great Southern Play,
"AT PINEY RIDGE."
A powerful and fascinating romance of the picturesque mountains

A REST.
I notice that a good many of
mv customers believe that the sole
object of giaflses. is to make the
wearer see clearer and plainer.
This in true in many case but
there are many other caos In
which the glasses are simply a
rest. The vision fs as gonl as It
can be and all the glasses in the
world will not make obiects any
more distinct. They simply take
off the strain and rest the eyes.
They make it possible to read ali
the evening without tiring or to
work at the desk all day without
causing- headache. They do the
work of focussing, which the eys
are obliged to do when th ghisse.i
are not worn. In many cases thre
is no difference whatever in the ap
pearance of objects, wh ther the
glasso are on or off. There I a
decided difference. howe er. In the
effect. If left off for an hour a
Fevere hadache invariably follows.
"When they tire on the eyes are cool
and refreshed and the wearer never
knows what headache is. I can
do the same for you, if you need
glasses.
My exclusive attention is given to
fitting glasses.

COCAINE AS AN AN ESTHETIC
From the New York Herald.
Any device for the relief of human
pain is always a boon to Buffering man
kind. In Buch a sense must be viewed
the new method of anesthesia by inject
ing cocaine solution into the spinal canal
discovered by Lr. J. Leonard Corning,
of this city. Although Jifteen years
have elapsed since he wrote his first
scientific article on the subject, It Is only
within the last few months that the
medical profession has carried out his
FUKKestions and proved the truth of his
predictions. Now it would appear the
more the principle of producing this
form of limited insensibility is tested
the better pleased are those who are
noting its resuits.
For a lone time after ether and chlo
roform banished agony from the operat
ing table it was the aim of surgeons to
discover some drug that would accom
plish the main purpose in view without
inducing" an unnecessarily profound nar
cotism. There was always something
weird and dreadful connected with the
thought of being subjected to this new
sleep and being so absolutely and help
lessly under the control of another.
Even to this day many patients have
such an instinctive fearof these pewerful
agents that the ordinary terrot-s of th
knife sink into comparative Insignifi
cance. XOspeeialy did it seem desirable that
something should be found which should
distinctly limit the area of induced in
sensibility to the part affected and leave
the brain free to think. Then came co
caine to talie its place in fulfilling to a
certain extent the required conditions.
It was while Lr. Coining was studying
and experimenting to increase the use
fulness and more extended applicability
of this new and valuable remedy that
he conceived and demonstrated the prac
ticability and comparative safety of in
jecting the solution in question into the
lower portion of the spinal canal. By
such means he succeeded in temporarily
destroying all sensitiveness in the rowis
of the various nerves which have their
origin in that portion of the spinal cord.
As a c onsequence we now hear almost
incredible stories of patients who hav
watched amputations of their own limbs
without the slightest consciousness of a
smart or twinge, and who could scarcely
realize that parts of their own bodies
were being severed.
Other operations of equal severity have
also been performed in this newly cre
ated area of anesthesia with like aston
ishing results. The only thing which ap
parently remains to he done. Is to extend
the surface of Insensibility a safely and
surely to the upper portions of th" body.
This may popsibly be accomplished In
time when greater experience with the
use oT the solution in lh present re
stricted regions of the spine shall war
rant the requisite ventures in other arid
more extended directions.
Kven as the matter now stands there
is great reason for believing that this
principle of treating and preventing pain
has a very promising future and a com
paratively extended range of applica
tion. Already It has boon so t-uccessf ully
applied to the abolition of the pains of
maternity that Its future use for such
purpose is confidently assured.
