THE taxes last year, in Great Britain
amounted to but $500, 10000 With
this they had to pay an interest on debt
one third larger than our own. In the
United States the taxes of the Federal
Government are $50, 0O0,0 900 more than
this, and in addition the cost of our State
Governments must be at least $3.50, 900, :
600. Our taxes are nearly double those
of Great Britain, while we possess only
about one-third as much wealth as that
kingdom. Cynical people, in the face OF
these facts, and the recent legislation OF
Congress establishing dictator, might
suggest that 'sthe glorious republic" is
not so very much of an improvement on
the ''rotten and corrupt monarchy,
after all.

it viii be ratified. Although the treaty
was put in stvve as the instance of the
Secretary OF SIate, not more than eight
copies were to-day in possession of men,
bers of the Senate, including those of the
committee on Foreign Relations. A
message was sent to the department for
a fresh supply but they were not obtained.
The State however, has ordered the
usual number TO be printed for its own
use.
The majority of the Senate are in favor
of removing the injunction of secresy so
the treaty may be now made public and
this would have been the result had the

4 well known citizen Of Nashville and
strong advocate Of the manufacturing in
terests Of Tennessee yesterday visited the
industrial Exposition for the first time, and
was so well pleased with the appearance Of
things that he declared we ozght to have
an exposition ali the year round. He sass
it combines more neatness and ingenuity
Of finish in manufactures and designs than
can be seen in any other show or combina-
ton of shows that could be presented to
the wondering admiration Of critical pub
lie. He is competent judge, and it would
be entirely safe to bet on his iudement.

Six Men and Two Women Punished.
NEW YORK, May .10-A special from
Scranton, Pa, last night at late hour
says the sum total of the sffray is three
men seriously wounded, One a miner;
three men slighuy wounded and two wO-
men hurt. The Mayor of the city and
agents of the company were on the
ground soon after the main fight was
over. There is no sign of another imme-
diate outbreak but if the laborers insist
on resuming work, more riots are ex-
pected. The actual strength of the new
movement sgitated among the laborers
the last few days is not sufficient to war
rant any desirable results. The city is
much excited over the affair and the au-
thOrities are on watch for further move
ments. News Of q more peaceful nature
has been received from the Delaware and
Hudson Company's men and there are
strong hopes of quiet resumption of
work shortly.

Quit Dragging.

This Is now admitted by the medical pro-
fession as fundamental principle of heal
ing science. 1t is wisely provided by the
human economy that whenever anything
is wrong in the physical system the natural
forces of the body are brought to bear to
expel the disease. The great aim, therefore,
is to strengthen the natural powers. This
has been kept in view by the skillful CON-
Founders Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which operates to give fresh vitality to ;Il
the organs of the body. The effect Of this
medicine upon the stomach, the liver and
the kidneys, is prompt and decisive. The
patient, who is wise enough TO quit drugging
and try the bitters, soon feels as IL he had
taken q new lease Of life, and as he con-
tinues the use of the article, he is overjoyed
to find the streams Of health coursing
through his frame. 1t is prepared with
great care, and its component parts are en-
tirely vegetable. 1t is free from the obiec-
lions so often urged against preparations OF
the kind. AS a medicinal agent II has no
equal, while its pleasing flavor and health
full effects have made 1t a general favorite.
1t Is free from all properties calculated to
impair the system, and its operations are at
once mild, soothing and efficient. All who
have used Hostetters Stomach Bitters attest
its virtues and commend It.
Even those who are in the enjoyment of
perfect health frequently have need to have
recourse to tonics as preventives OF disease.
We are never too well armed against the
assaults OF "the ills that flesh is heir TO-"
In health or sickness this tonic cannot be
taken regularly without giving vitality and
elasticity to the system.
