To sell any commodity continuously at be low cost Is both hurtful to the seller nnd unfair to tho buyer, since by the process tho lattpr Is beguiled Into a false e3tlmnte of values. Hetter rather than cheaper should bo Intelllrcent Jour nalism's motto. The New York Alayoralty Battle. The political situation In creator New York has attained dimensions of national Interest and Importance. Thus far three distinct municipal tickets are In tho field one, the non-partisan or Mugwump ticket headed by Seth Low, which stands for purely personal gov ernment; another hended by Henry George, which Includes In its pro gramme free silver, municipal owner ship of public works and many of the minor Items of modern socialism; and the third, the straight Republican ticket representing within municipal lines the broad principles of the na tional administration nnd offering In the person of General Benjamin F. Tracy a mature, experienced and ad mirable statesman. Tammany's ticket and Tammany's platform have yet to be presented. In point of personal fitness tho choice between Mr. Low and General Tracy Is evenly balanced. The latter has tho broader mind nnd the riper experience; the former perhaps excels in physical alertness and endurance; but each Is honest, Intelligent and sincere. The great point of difference between them consists of the fact that while one as serts tho necessity of divorcing the mayoralty utterly from politics of the partisan variety the other's candidacy embodies a denial of tho practicability of such a separation under existing conditions and urges Republicans to stand by their party in insistence upon progressive partisan government as well In the city as In the state and In the nation. The supporters of General Tracy contend with emphasis that Mr. Low as mayor could not bo non-partisan; that as Issues and organizations stand aligned at tho present epoch In our history the tnklng of sides Is Im perative. He must, they say, be either for the principles of tho St. Louis platform and, being for them, must be willing within tho limits of propriety to work for them and for tho triumph of the political agencies representing them, or else he must bo against them; that neutrality cannot be other than a pretence, a pose; and that It Is the duty of citizens of New York In sym pathy with Republican principles to strengthen the Republican battle lines from the smallest ofllce up to the high est. Greater New York Is to Include with in Its borders 3,000,000 Inhabitants, or ns largo a number as formed the popu lation of the United States during tho administrations of President "Washing ton. It will be a municipal empire ex ceeding In both population and wealth n majority of the present states of the Union and In political Importance tho mayoralty of greater New York will be second only to that of the presi dency Itself. Under these circum stances the. eagerness of different par ties or groups of Interests to capture control of It Is not to be considered strange. That tho best Interests of the city nnd of the country at large call for the election of General Tracy, and thereby for the Indorsement and rein forcement of the Republican position, Is a proposition In our Judgment made evident by the briefest survey of tho foregoing facts. New Jersey voted that tho race track was on evil, but not ovll enough to bo abolished. A Memorable Year. Next summer will be tho twentieth anniversary of tho greatest yellow fever scourge of history. Unlike tho present epidemic, the disease mado Its nppearanco tho latter part of May In New Orleans. No attention to sani tary precaution had been given by tho reople In the gulf country nnd nearly, every city was In a condition to Invite . tho presence of the. plague. Tho wholo South was a Bcene of terror nnd people fled In frenzy from the pestilence, thus spreading Its fury. Memphis and Grenelda. were desolated. At Vicka liuri? the ravuges of the disease were frightful and as far north ns Louis ville and Nashville Its horrors were experienced. It seemed to run an un abated course all summer, The help Jess people died by thousands. A regu lar system of contributions was estab lished. In the north and men nnd friends were sent without atlnt to rollova tho suffering. Long will bo remembered ' the efforts of tho Howard association nt New Orleans, Memphis and else where In a marvel of heroism and sac rifice, but It was not until more than twenty thousand victims had fallen that tlip' frosts of October slayed tho progress of the scourge. With the horrors of that period In memory nnd, tradition, it Is not sur prising that tho peoplo of the south go mail with fear at tho certainty of yel low fever In their fair cities. Tho wonder Is that over they relax vigi lance In keeping It away, particularly at such n time as this, when tho con ditions of Cuba are such ns to promise dissemination of pestilence. Tho Wllkes-Barre News Denier doosn't consider It wlso for Louisa Michel to visit tho Hnzleton region. Just what might happen to Loulso If Bhc should come, the Niiws Dealer falls to explain. All Are Faith Doctors. Father Dorsey of St. Gabriel's church, Chicago, Interested nn Intelligent au dience nt a physicians' dinner Monday evening by describing the cure wrought upon his sister nt Lourdes In 1884, since when she has been perfectly well. The girl had Injured herself by a fall nnd had bsen bedridden for a num ber of years. After being let down Into the bath of pure Ice water at Lourdes she was completely restored. Father Dorssy said 300,000 people went to Lourdes every year, and he often saw 1,000 a day there. Ho wit nessed nt least 180 cure3 and ono of thfm was that of a woman who had a cancer that extended from her lip al most to her wnlst. Sho was cured in stantly without leaving bo much ns a scar. The result was, Father Dorsey said, that he bellevsd In God, nnd be lieved that God still took an Interest In his suffering creatures. The topic of tho evening was faith cure nnd tho many eminent physicians present contributed anecdotes pertain ing to experiences In thslr own prac tice. One of the speakers gave his opinion to the effect that It Is not creditable to tho Intelligence that so many In the medical profession ridi cule or discredit tho cures wrought by so, called faith healers. Ho assert ed that every physician should be pre pared to account for and explain these results through tho operation of well known laws of mind and that ho should be able to show th'at thero Is nothing miraculous or supernatural nbout thesis cases. T(ho many great Institutions de voted to divine healing and Christian science to which throngs of patients (lock show that It Is worth while for tho reputable physician to employ in telligently a neglected means of tb-ra-pfutlcs which iiiu ignorantly nnd often harmfully used by laymen. This Is a common sense view of tho matter. Ei;ry physician knows that his personality has much to do with success In practice. Ho realizes that confidence In his ability Is a strong aid In the restoration of health. He may call.lt faith cure, magnetism, Chris tian scleno?, hypnotic suggestion or whatever he will, but the fact remains that the singular Influence of mind up on mind, or mind upon body Is not ne glected by the Intelligent practitioner. In th'so days of fads, of materialistic oellefs and of frantic pursuits of th occult It Is folly to rldiculo the belief of others in their particular "taboo" as Grant Allen puts It. While perhaps It is "better In this work a day world to disabuse tho mind of the idea of mystery nnd supernaturallsm In con nection with many cures wrought, lest It leads the too susceptible Imagination Into a realm which unfits It for prac tical application, yet it is idle to assert that nothing Inexplicable occurs In tho sphere of medical science for nothing Is more Inexplicable than the mind of man and its vagaries. Professor Graham Taylor mado a speech in Chicago tho other day in which he remarked that the policeman Is the agent of morality and has more Influence than tho pastor of a parish. It has not been widely understood that Chicago possesses that kind of ofllcers. Shrinking; Currency. Although It is not generally known, the government Is considerably ahead every year front paper currency that has been lost or destroyed. Many of the paper notC9 of nearly every Issue leave the treasury never to retu-n for redemption. Of the old Issue of $10,000 greenbacks, which were called in a few years ago, not one was lost. The monthly statement of tho United States treasurer shows that 0112 bill of that Issue Is In circulation, but It is kept In the office of the United States treas urer as a curiosity. Of the $5,000 green Lacks, which were hjo called In, Hires were missing, and the government Is probably ahead $15,000. In the treasur er's monthly statement an Item ap pears of $1,000,000, "unknown, destroy ed, ' whlcl is tho amount supposed to have been burned In the Chicago fire. Of the $1,107,901,000 of paper currency now In circulation, $300,000,000, rough ly, Is In $10 notes and certificates, $271, 000,000 Is In tho $5 dsnominatlon, $205, OCO.OOO in twenties. $13,000,000 In fifties. Ssn.000,000 In hundred3, $19,000,000 In flva hundreds, and $92,000,000 In $1,000 bills. Of tho $1 bills in circulation thero are t4C.EK9.S74, and In twos $29,895,350. The only $10,000 btlU now In circulation are gold certificates amounting to $12,3S0, 00". It has been discovered thnt the rea son French washerwomen have such beautiful complexions Is because they make garlic a steady diet. Mine, Adam, who Is renowned for her won derful beauty, attributes It chiefly to a breakfast of black bread and garlic, nnd peoplo throng her salon to hear her talkl A Committee Out of Work. The verdure of the fields oncl foliage throughout tho East this autumn un fortunately does not prevail In tho West whero tho pastures nnd mead ows nre dry and burned. While this Is not a deslrablo forerunner of anoth er season besides being unfavorable for feeding until cold weather closes In, It does not seem to dampen the spir its ot the Western furmer. Ho has been selling liberally for big prices, but it Is nn evidence of his jrospjrlty that he is keeping back a. considerable amount of grain, thus showing that ho has received enough for that al ready sold to tendor hlin Independent for the time In not being obliged to sell moro unless he so chooses. That ho has a largo Btoro of wheat Is certain, while he has received double tho price of last year for that sold this reason. Although It was feared that corn would not be a profitable crop, a larger reserve ot this grain than any other Is now on hand and In nearly every state of the Union them Is 'lnoush for all practical purposes. It Is no wonder tliat lamentation committees find It hard work to hold their positions In tho West. The number of horrible outrages that occur In suburban nnd rural localities peetns to bo Increasing, and It Is about time that somo provisions were mad? for local mounted police to protect residents of lonely districts. Such a plan would entnll much expense to counties but murder trials and rob beries also cost money. Feeble old people, suspected of concealing sav ings nbout their houses, and women and little girls left a moment alono Indoors or out seem to bo In peril mora and more ns civilization advances, and tho boldness of ths nttacks made up on the unprotected Is not abated either by lynch law or prompt Judicial ac tion. Frequently tho brutal villains nro never caught, particularly In cases of house robbery where the occupants are either tortured or klllad outright. Physicians at tho Homoeopathic hos pital In Pittsburg expect to kill con sumption bacilli by the aid of Roent gen rays. Incidentally the rays may destroy the lunir tissues, but tho method Is sure death to the microbe. What Cuban War Has Cost Spain From tho Chicago Tribune. An official statement has bocn Issued at Madrid showing that between November, ISM, nnd Muy, 1897, tho Spanish govern ment sent to Cuba 181,738 soldiers, 6,2iil ofllcers, nf whom 40 were generals. 212,612 guns, 320,-KK kilogrammes of powder, 92, 0!S,G70 cartridges, 1G.712 swords, 91 can nons, 12 mitrailleuses, nnd 29,500 shells. And yet with this imposing array of troops and ofllcers and their thousands of guns nnd cannons nnd millions of cart ridges, nt tho end of two years Spain Is no nearor the end of tho war than It was nt the beginning of the campaign. Tho revolutionists, subsisting on food supplied by sympathizers, poorly armed and equip ped, having few or no cannon, depending mainly upon their machetes, having no vessels of any kind, fighting against reg ularly drilled nnd perfectly armed troops, harassed by tho navnl vessels and reve nue olflclnls of the United States acting ns a police power for Spain, hold tho en tire Island except tho well-defended sea ports. Their forces occupy every prov ince nnd aro now under tho very walls of Havana, nnd would capture tho capi tal Itself If they had vessels nnd tho ma terial for assault. And yet, with this ex traordinary dispatch of troops and wnr material and with a loss of troops on both sides since January last of nearly 3(1,000 men, Spain has the effrontery to clnlm that this Is not war but tho upris ing of a mob, Tho same official statement shows that since tho outbreak of the Philippine revo lution tho government has sent 27,560 sol diers, Sil ofllcers, of whom 9 nro generals, J3.100 guns, 21 cannons. 21,910 kilogrammes of powder, 21.72C5S3 cartridges, nnd 30,601 shells. Tho revolution In tte Philippine Islands broke out during tho mlddlo of August, 1S96. It has progressed now for luuneen monins, and yet tho war, llko that In Cuba, Is no nearer a close than It was a vnnr nirn TUn ulhmMrtn i. t.nun Islands Is almost precisely similar to that in 1.UUU, iur ino I'muppino revolutionists hold tho whole territory except tho stiongly fortified seuports llko Manila, Ranang nnd llatangas. To quell theso two formldablo Insurrections Spuln has sent nearly a quarter of a million of men, ltd by nearly S.000 ofllcers and equipped with nearly 300,000 guns and 115 cannons nnd over a hundred million cartridges, at an expenso which has brought tho gov ernment to tho vergo of bankruptcy and f-ent Its agents all over Europe trying to borrow millions morol And all this to put down what it Insolently characterizes ns tho uprising of some negro mobs! Docs not this insignificant official statement of tho Spanish government make It clear to Enbtern Spaulbh sympathizers that thero i.i war In Cuba and the Philippines nlso, cept on tho scoro of common humanity? though -tho latter does not concern us ex- - MISTAKES AM) KKTKACTIOXS. From tho Washington Post. No amount of caro can abollah tho pos sibility of errors In tho conduct of a daily paper. Dcsplto tho most careful sup ervision falso and Injurious statements will occasionally bo mado In tho most re liable Journals. Those who have any knowledge of tho work of collecting, edit ing, and publishing tho news of the world every morning or evening do not wonder that Injurious mistakes sometimes hap pen, but find causo allko for surprise and gratification In the Infrequeney of such misfortunes. No newspaper that has attained any standing In a community Is ever guilty of Intentionally defaming character. Even If the responsible editor of a paper were not Influenced by motives that control tho nets of all honorable men, he could not afford to wreck his paper by com mending It to public detestation. Tho character of a newspaper, llko that of a business man, Is too valuable to bo trifled with. Enterprlso Is no more essential than honesty and decency to permanent success In Journalism. Hut, although It Is impossible for any newspaper to eo carefully guard against mistakes as to secure absolute Immunity from danger of doing a personal Injury. It Is always practlcablo to mako that prompt and frank retraction which Is due to the lnjuted party, due to tho self respect of the paper and to the public. Tho habitual readers of a paper know tho difference between accident and mallco; they forglye tho former, but are Implaca ble towards the latter. To withhold a retraction when the public's sense of Jus tice recognizes that It Is duo Is to forfeit that kindly feeling In a community which Is prized, not only ns a personal tribute to tho management but as an Important element In newspaper property. NECESSITY FOR ACTION. From Tho Philadelphia Press. Medical reports from Havnua aro to the effect that yellow fever and every other kind of dlseaso prevalent In that cllmato run their krgth without obstruction. No sanitary regulations aro enforced, owing to tho lack of money. Tho United States 1 menaced by this condition of affairs In a way that Is Intolerable. Trade worth vast millions has been lost by the war, and to that Is to bo added tho loss of llfo and stoppage of business In a largo sec tion of the country by yellow fever. It Is Impossible that tho United States shall much longer permit Cuba to bo desolated and mado a continued menace to us in that way. WHAT A IIICJII TAltlPr WILL DO. From Tho Philadelphia Record. Tho stato of Kansas Is greeting tho ro turn of prosperity this week with a cele bratlon at Topeka, which was opened with Fraternal day yesterday, all tho frater nal societies In tho stato participating, and which will bo altogether tho most elaborate state fostlval ever witnessed In tho west. Tho husbandmen of Kansas havo fairly earned their groat Harvest Home, and their preliminary thanksgiv ing will strlko the keynote ot Jubilation to which tho business interests of the country are being ono by one attuned. THE WEYMlll EXl'EItlMENTS. From the Troy Record. Spain has sent to Cuba 181,733 soldiers, CStil officers, Including forty generals, nnd any amount of guns and ammuni tion. With all this equipment Weyler has not been able to put down th rorotultcn In a slng'.o province. If tho Spaniard would take a common seneo view of tn Bltuatlon, tho captain central would bo recalled, and tho struggle would bo aban doned, or a consistent plan of campaign would bo formed. Weylorlsm Involves a useless waste of money and men. CLASS DISTINCTIONS. From tho Boston Traveler. Tho tendency of tho times Is unfortu nately In tho direction of clans distinc tions, Thero Is danger that tho great principle of tho equality of men as men fchall pass Into Innocuous desuetude. Woo betldo tho day when the royal birthright of any citizen of this republlo shall bo forgotten. Tho history of nations shows that degeneracy follows hnrd upon the heels of tho separation of tho people Into tho very wealthy and tho very poor classes. In the largo cities of this country there aro already tho "four hundred" Into whose select circles others may not enter, nnd the selection Is mado upon tho basis of wealth, or, what Is worse, tho degreo of ememlnacy, to which the poor dudo has degenerated In his extreme de votion to the cut of his trousers or his hallruem manners. WJille It must bo admitted that the ten dency Is strongly In the direction of a sepai atlon of tho people into two classes, the very rich nnd tho very poor, fortu nutoly for us there still remains the great middle class, outnumbering boti tho other classes In tho lntlo of 100 to 1, and in tr.elt hands rests the destiny of this re,ii'blip. They aro the people, nnd unless they n'o falso to thcmselvoi, no p:wdcr on enith can retnrJ thrlr progress iior deprlvo them of their rights. They com prlso nil who devoto themselves to honest labor, whether of hand or of brain. They may be poor, they may be In moderate circumstances, or they may have secured a competency. Relative conditions may chango In a day, but "a man's a man for a that." Let tho peoplo respect them selves, guard Jealously their own rights, and bo willing to accord to others the same privileges they ask for themselves. CAUINETS IN HISTORY. From the Mall and Express. Franklin Plerco was tho only man elected president and serving his full term who made no changes In the cabl nut. Garfield, the elder Harrison and General Taylor mado no changes, but they died In offlco early In their terms. Millard Fillmore, who succeeded Taylor, got along with tho samo cabinet for three years. John Tyler holds tho record for cabi net ndvlsers. Ho had twenty In less than four years. Including three secre taries of state, four secretaries of war and five secretaries of the navy. An drew Jackson had fifteen different cabi net members during his second term. lour American presidents havo retain ed tho cablnents of their predecessors. They wero John Adams, Martin Van Bit ren, John Tyler nnd Andrew Jackson. Only In tho case of Van Uurcn was this a fortunate undertaking. Tho cabinet of Adams Intrigued against htm; Tyler quarreled nnd parted with his, nnd John son's conflict with Edwin M. Stanton pro. cipltated tho Impeachment proceedings. Daniel Webster waB secretary of stato under three administrations Harrison's, Tyler's and Fdlir.oro's. Thomas Ewlng was secreary of tho treasury under Har rison, Tyler nnd Taylor, Timothy Pick ering was postmaster-general in Wash. Ington's first term and secretary of stato under Adams. William Wlndom was sec retary of the treasury for Garfield, Ar thur and Benjamin Harrison. Six secretaries of stato havo been ele vated to the presidency. No other cabi net position has graduated a president, although Monroo was secretary of tho treasury as well a3 secretary of state. IT WAS ELDERBERRY WINE. From the Scottdalo Independent. Monday afteiroon Frank H'itson and Joseph Pennington of near Pennsvllle, camo to town bringing with them a largo sized Jag of elderberry blossom wlno nnd a deslro to lick somebody. Before their dcblro was gratified they landed In tho lockup. Onco thero they amused them selves by knocking down the stove pipe, breaking tho pipes on tho wash stand, the Incandescent light globes and bunks and having a big tlmo In other ways. When tho stove plpo wont down it al lowed gas to escape In tho room and the men would havo suffocated had nn offi cer not gone to tho building when he did. Tho fine nnd costs of repairing the dam ago dono amounted to $7, making It rather an cxpenslvo afternoon's sport. PAUL KRUEGEK'S CONDITION. From tho Troy Times. President Kruegor, of tho South Afl enn republlo has been notified by physi cians that he hn Urlght's dlseaso and is not likely to llvo moro than eighteen months. All tho samo ho announces his determination to seek a re-election. 00m Paul's kidneys may not bo sound, but thero is nothing tho matter with his pluck. PASTIME FOR THE LION. From tho Lancaster Examiner: With American stocks going up every day It looks as If the British lion was engaged In tho pleasant pastime of twisting Its own tall In paying off the balance of trade by shipping American stocks back in return for American ce reals. "WAUKEEN'S'SNOW-DOUND1.AY From tho Chicago Times-Herald. It Is Inferred that many of Joaquin Miller's beautiful essays upon tho balmy weather of tho Klondike region havo been delayed by snow blockades. LAMENTATION. Ended is the long vacation. Joyous tlmo of recreation. Now, without much Jubilation, Children turn to education, Whllo their teachers through the nation Waste no tlmo In gratulatlon. Somo regard with consternation To return tho regulation. Others feel exasperation, Thus recalled from dissipation. Thero Is frequent lamentation; School to man seems vexation, Tribulation, desolation, And acquiring Information Isn't fun, like csculatlon. So without much exultation. They resume their ooupatlon. In a word, tho Fltuatlon Rather damps exhilaration. . Somervllle (Mass.) Journal. m OCTOIJEIt.
