DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, aa they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear." There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
named condition of the mucous lining of the
ustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed yon have a rumbling sound or iinper
. feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma
tion can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing willbe destroyed
forever; nine cases out oi ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Rheumatism
Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison ; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to a healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.

WHAT WE HAVE
PROMISED.
The Philippine Policy Is Fully
and Succinctly Stated.
1.1 Against Bryan's General Idea of a
Sinble Government, the Repub
licans Place Their Pro
gramme in Full.
Certain Democratic and semi-Demn-eratic
papers are much troubled by an
alleged lack of an affirmative Republi
can policy in the Philippines. It is true
that the Republican party now ooccu
pies pretty much the position Lincoln
held at the time of his death in re
spect to leconstrnction, namely: that
it is not absolutely and irretrievaoly
committed to any policy. It is to a
considerable extent feeling its way.
and the policy in the Philippines will
be not to deal with some events and
problems until they arise. At the
same time the administration has an
nounced and declared a general policy
of a clear and comprehensive character.
The Philippine commission in its
proclamation to the people of the isl
ands gave a clear and comprehensive
outline of the general
administration. They
stance as follows:
(1.) The supremacy
policies of the
were in sub-
of the United
States to be recognized throughout
the islands.
(2.) The fullest self-eovernment to
be granted which is compatible with
a just, stable, effective and economical
administration and with the sovereign
authority of the United States.
(3.) The civil and religious rights
of the Filipinos to be assured with the
equal standing of all before the law.
(4.) An honest civil service with
the natives preferred. No exploitation
of the people.
(5.) Honest collection and disburse
ment of taxes. Local funds not to be
used for other than local purposes.
(6.) A pure, speedy and effective
administration of justice in the courts
with protection for the rights of all.
(7.) The promotion of railtoads ami
other means of communication and
transportation.
(8.) Domestic and foreign trade
and commerce and the promotion of
native industry to be the constant pur
pose of the United States.
(9. ) Ample provisions for free schools
in which the children of the people
will be educated. Appropriate facili
ties also for higher education.
(10.) Reforms in all departments of
government, all branches of the public
service and in all corporations closely
touching the common life of the people,
to be undertaken speedily and executed
conformably with riaht and justice.
Fledged to these purposes the Unit
ed States warned the rebellious Fili
pinos, who are estimated to constitute
less than five per cent of the popula
tion, that they could accomplish noth
ing by their resistance exceept their
; own ruin.
Bryan's Two-Faced Platfoi-iii.
It is a pity for Bryan that there is
no way of having expurgated or celi
sorized for reading in the West, his
Eastern speeches about the paramount
oy of "imperialism." Free silver be
lievers in the Western states cannot
relish the Democratic Eastern talk
that the 16 to 1 plank in the platform
does not mean anything, except a trick
for catching votes in the silver states.
And if anti-expansion is paramount to
free silver, these same people well
wonder what their own place can now
be in the Democratic party, expansion
being a policy they themselves view
with paramount favor. In this age
of easy communication between locali
ties, it is not possible for principles of
a party to be confided to one part of
the country secreted from other parts.
In the wholesale desertions from Bryan
of Silver-Republicans like Senator
Stewait, of Nevada, and ex-Senator
Mantle, of Montana, there is interest
ing proof that a modem Janus-faced
statesman cannot stand much show of
success. He cannot talk from face
No. 1 without the impertinent tele
graph instrument telling it to those for
whom the words from face No. 2 were
meant, and vice versa.
Silver and Savings Banks.
The volume of savings banks' bank
deposits and what free silver would
mean in reference to them, is a bound
less subject. Take, tor instance, the
state of New York and read what the
New York World, a leading Demo
cratic organ, says upon the subject:
"From the annual report on the sav
ings banks of this state it appears that
415,870 new depositors took out books
last year. The total'deposits were in
creased by $15,853,004 over the total
of the previous year.
The savings hanks of New York re
port 2,036,017 depositors. They are
creditors of the banks for money on de
posit at interest amounting to the
huge sum of $858,443,277.
This shows that there are 858,443,
277 reasons, every one of them worth
a sound dollar, why the vote of New
York will not be easily secured for the
proposition to pay back 100 cents de
posited "as good as gold" with 50
cents' worth of silver.

Railroads Were Embarrassed,
In 1898, under Democratic rule, 74
railroads, representing 29,340 miles of
line, and stock and Lends amounting
to 1,781,046,000, went into the hands
of receivers, owing to the stagnation of
business, and a scarcity of freight
traffic Under McKicley and pros
perity in 1899, but 10 railroads, repre
senting 1,019 miles of line, and $52,
285,000 stocks and bonds, went into
the hands of receivers. Prosperity and
a revival of business has truly benefit
ted the railroads.

GERMANS STANDING FIRM.
They Supported Lincoln Once aa They
Support McKlnley Now.
Mr. Bryan has opene 1 a Pandora
box in quoting so profusely from Lin
coln. Not only was Lincoln arraigned
by the Democrats in IStii as etin,g
the part of an emperor and "sitting en
throned in the White House." but he
was denounced specifically as McKia
ley is now for violating the Declara
tion of Independence and governing
without the consent of the governed ;
and as if to make the parallel absolute-
j ly complete, there was also a deter
I mined movement in 1 85 4 to turn the
I German Republicans aaainst Lincoln.
I Lincoln, of course, could only expect
the denunciation of the copperheads
who thought the consent of the yov
urued doctrine forbade the suppression
of the rebellion. The unkindest cut of
all was that Republicans should go off
into opposition against him, but there
were Boutwells in that day. iney
held a "liberty convention" and nomi
nated Fremont, because forsooth, Lin
coln was not f. uood enough Kepub-
lican for them. This was bad enough,
; but there are always some cranks, ex
tremists and malcontents. The worst
, defection threatened the one most
trying to Linclon and his supporters
was one projected in the name of the
German Republicans.
As late in the campaign as Septem
ber 21, Horace Greely said in the New
York Tribune:
"Until a short time ago it seemod as
though nearly the entire vote controlled
by the German National clubs would
be lost to the Republican party."
But the keen sighted Greely now saw
how the Germans had been misrepre
sented. He now made bold to predict
that Lincoln would get an overwhelm
ingly majority of German voters and a
few weeks later in November, that
prophesy wits made good. The men
who predicted a great German defec
tion from Lincoln had reckoned with
out their host. The Germans instead
of being carried off on a tangent had
coolly and calmly reviewed the situa
tion. They saw the folly and fraud in
the cry of imperialism against Lincoln
and the preposterous dogmas about the
consent of the governed ami the Decor
ation of Independence. They dis- ,
missed the utter folly, the charge ot
Lincoln "sitting enthroned at the
White HouEe" and setting himself up
as an emperor. They rallied to Lin
coln's support in November, and in- j
dee.i it is to be said that without the
help they gave, Lincoln could not have
been re-elected. He had no truer or
firmer friends than the Germans at
home and the boys who "fought mil
Sigel" in the field, and sent their
Lincoln ballots homo to be counted j
Morgan' Straight Talfc.
Senator John T, Morgan, of Ala
bama, though a leading mem bar of the
party which is trying to prove that Re
publican policies are "imperialistic,"
is not afraid to give the McKinley ad
ministration policies credit for being
the opposite of "iniperialisitc."
An interviewer for a Southern paper
asked him:
"Do yon approve of Secretary Hay's
polioy in negotiating with the Chi
nese?" "Thoroughly," came the emphatic
reply. "Mr. Hay has been wise and
statesmanlike, and his course has been
beyond criticism. He has reflected
credit in a remarkable manner on tnis
government abroad and has excelled
the achievements of the foreign chan
cellories." Oriental Trade Growing.

Sowing seed in dry weather may re
sult in but few of the seeds germinat
ing. If the ground is veiy dry it will
take moisture from the seeds, but if
the soil is damp -the seeds draw moist
ure from the soil. The lack of moisture
is the cause of seed being slow germi
nating unless when covered too deep,
which causes the seed to be longer in
pushing through the ground.
Four times as much can be grown
on an acre of land by the use of wheel
hoes and hand seed drills than when
the land is cultivated by horse power,
as both the rows and the plants can be
closer together. Whether the hand
system will pay depends upon the kind
of crops grown and the location of the
farm to markets.
In selecting seed corn in the field
the vigor and growth of the stalks
shold be observed as well as the ears.
If a stalk produces two or three good
ears mark it. By using seed from the
most prolific etaiks the tendency will
be to produce more ears every year,
until as many as four and five ears per
stalk will be the result.
Red cedar is a desirable tree, but the
seed seems to fail in germination. The
fact is that it requires two seasons in
which to grow. Seeds sown at any
time will not grow for about 12
months. Sow them in a bed and leave
it undisturbed, except to occasionally
water it, for a season.
The burdock is a weed that is exter

on the root the plant will soon die, as
the root is soft and the salt rots it.

China is often alluded to as a be

Corea, that is entitled to the palm of j

adopt systems of the foreigners, while
Corea, it seems, cannot. Missionaries

Developed by Cultivation.
All garden vegetables are merely
types improved by long cultivation of
wild species. The wild cabbage is
common enongh in places by the sea,
but is of no nse for food in its wild
state. Indeed, it will take a botanist
to tell that it was a cabbage at all.
Scotland owes the cabbage to Crom
well's soldiers. The cauliflower is but
a cultivated improvement on the cab
bage. It was brought to perfection in
Cyprus and was very little known un
til about a century ago. The parsnip
is another native of this country. You
may find it along almost any hedge
row, but it is small and intensely bit
ter in its wild state.

The golden rule is not a "bill of
rights," Rather does it represent the
will to do right. In all the teaching
of Christ the word "rights" finds no
place; but the word "right" or "right,
eousness" occurs with exceeding fre
quency. True, no man ever did so
much as Jesus to secure the rights of
every member of the human race.
Woman's rights, children's rights, the
rights of servants and masters, the
rights of the poor and the weak and
the ignorant, all have found an increas
ingly clear recognition and respect
with the spread of the gospel. Yet
this has come about by the persistent
inculcation of the principle of right
and the equally persistent restraining
of the spirit which demands "my
rights."
French Style of Starting; Foot Ttaces.
In an American srpinting race the
starter orders the runners on their
marks, then tells them to "get ready,"
then calls out "set" and a coupl of
seconds later fires the pistol. At the
Paris races the starter ordered the men
on their marks, called out "attention'"
and fired the pistol so soon fftetward
that the Americans could not et into
a crouching position. After the first
heat or two the Americans were always
set by the time attention was called
and started at the word instead of pis
tol, thus gaining a yard or two.
