Rational Medication.

Medication is only successful when it is RATIONAL
and it is rational only when it begins at the begin
ming. In other words, to cure a malady, its cause
must be removed. Weakness, either general or To-
cal, is the origin of the great majority of diseases.
Reinforce the vital energies regulate digestion and
secretion by strengthening the organs which perform
those a-important functions, and dyspepsia, const
patton, kidney and bladder complaints uterine diff
culties, impure circulation, and the thousand and
one ailments which the consequences OF debility
are completely, and in most cases permanently, re-
moved. The best, safest and most agreeable tonic
and Alternative that be employed for this purpose
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The experience OF
twenty-five years. during which time it has outlived
perhaps ten times that number of ehemera prepare
tiOns which have entered into competition with it,

NEW JERSEY women have grit. Not long
since young man from Philadelphia visited
Camden, and when he returned home
brought with him the wife of a Camden man
who had consented to leave husband and
children and follow him. Ten days after
Lothario was called upon by two handsome
young ladies, who followed him into private
room, and drawing two excellent revolvers
from two bewlderingly pretty muffs, put one
to each of his ears, and asked in very decided

take her back to Camden. They were the

1T is said that the rumor of Queen Vic
toria's death had its origin in the practice
common in large newspaper Offices of keep
ing in type the obituaries of eminent persons,
10 be used in case of sudden death. In a
large London newspaper Office, presumably
the Times, it was thought proper to revise
the obituary of the Queen, and bring it down
to date. A composltor happened to see the
notice in type, read the solemn and affecting
announcement with which it opened, and
fastened to spread the news. The story
soon travelled in all directions and reached
the ears of the special correspondents. There.
upon its circulation became world wide.

u Tie Bangor Wing publishes a COMMUNE
cation from Hon. A. W. Paine of that CITY.
explaining the resolve relative to the quieting
of the settlers who lived on the disputed
territory as provided by the treaty of 1912.
The history Of the case, in the main, as pub
Ilshed by US week since, except that these
lots are scattered in the vicinity CT the bound
airy within the limits of Maine-that the state
has given titles to all settlers on state lands
but that number were on proprietors' lands
whose claims have not been quieted. He
thinks that these claims are just and should
be paid. The history of the legislation is
precisely as we stated, as the records of both
branches of the last Legislature and the orig
inal documents now on file in the DEPART
ment will show. Further, every circumstance
given in the PRESS connected with the less-
lative history of the resolve, we can substan-
tiate by reference to leading gentlemen in the
government. Gov. Dingley, We are reliably
informed, had the same impressions respect
ing the doubtful character and the vagueness
of the claims that we entertain. Indeed,
from what he learned about them he feared
that some construction might be put upon the
resolve by which claims covering the entire
amount turned over by the state to the Euro
pean and North American Railway Company
might be maintained, and so suspicious was

The advocates of minority representation
claim that the result of the trial of the sys-
tem in Illinois is most successful and satisfac-
tory. The constitution of that state as
amended in 1870, provides for the election of
81 senators and three times as many repre-
sentatives, to be elected three in each sera-
torial district. Each voter may cast as many
votes for one candidate as there are represent
tatives to be elected-that is to say, three
votes, or he may give one vote each for the
three candidates, or give vote and half
each to two candidates. By this provision
the Republicans elected SO and the opposition
u representatives. Taking the vote of Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction as the vote
OF the state, the average required to elect a
representative was 1882. This would give
the Republicans 70-they had go. The vote
on the State Treasurer shows that 1896 is
the ratio of votes to representative, which
would give the Republicans &c. If the House
had been elected bp the ordinary method the
Republicans would have elected "a and the
opposition SO members. 1t is claimed that
the total vote of the minority i, as fully rep
resented as that of the majority.

IT will now pay for people in moderate cir
cumstances with flexible conscience and
no scruples about false swearing in connec.
ton with custom house documents, to 60 to
Europe once year. The number of people
discovering this fact is so large and is increas-
ing so fast that the Commissioner of Gus
toms feels compelled to call attention to the
fact. In other words, that official says that a
vast majority of American tourists, return
ing from Europe, smuggle, under the head of
wearing apparel, large amounts of goods,
thereby defiauding the revenue of large sums
of money. A New York paper states that
the $4,000 tourists going from that port 10
Europe The past season, brought back an aver
age of seven trunks of wearing apparel each.
If each trunk contained $500 worth, or even
half that amount of dutable goods, the gov
eminent has been cheated out of large rev.
enue. Another paper states that a Massa-
chusetts ex-congressman is credited with hay
ing returned from Europe, some time since,
with fifteen trunks, which he declared con-
tanned only the personal effects OF his family.
while it was afterwards discovered that half
the contents were purchased for their friends,
and ought to have paid the government $4,000

both which sums the smuggler was forced to
pay. These are OILY sample cases, the authori-

ry OF millions each year, and which is increas
ing at so alarming rate that Congress is
called upon to take some measures to abate
this respectable sort of smuggling. -iiaa
