THE PRESS AND THE POLITICIANS.

For weeks past some of the leading news
paper publishers and editors of the United
States have been in Washington, endeavorlng
TO get Congress to deliver them from the
thraldom of the manufacturers who have sue
ceeded in forming corner on printing paper
The press is now crawling on its knees to Sc
cure legislation, and will doubtless continue in
that beastly attitude for some time to come
Yet there is hardly a man in the Congress of
the United States who has not the press to
thank for his success in public life. The press
is the ladder by which men climb to wealth
and power and the more they are indebted for
assistance the heartier is the kick by which
they send the ladder from under them when
it is no longer of any use. As a rule, public
men affect to despise the press because they
wish the world to consider that they have won
fame and position by their unaided energies
Newspapers are constantly making of them
selves lackeys for the men VINO would go up.
The press is the servile tool of politicians, and
though it has been long dashed with the scour
yes of ingratitude, it still presents its lacera-
ted back to the ambitious as a stepping stone
to higher place. 1t lcks the dust of ages and
must grovel and whine at the door of Congress
like starved and trembling cur, waiting for
some one to throw it bone. 1t is the fault
of newspapers that an honorable profession
holds such lowly and conteaptlble position.
They have made themselves dishonored YES
sells for the slops and refuse of politics and few
public men are so low in character or so bank
rupt in record but that the press will lap the
Maud from their boots with well-assu.ned gustC
and quite frequently with gusto not assumed
at all. In political campaign, money is
thrown lavishly about among the bummers
and FOUNDERS and street scallawags, who clas-
ter in the vicinity ofpoling places; and a week
later when legitimate advertising bills come
in from the newspapers they must be cut
down from so to GO per cent The amount of
money due the press from politicians through
out the United States, if figured up to-day,
would amount to more than the national debt
ever was, and if we mistaken in the esti-
mate, we would like to hear from some one
better posted than ourselves. A great deal of
this money is indirectly due from the men
now sitting in Congress, who are asked to pass
a relief bill for the newspaper publishers of the
country; for the men who helped keep the
party organization compact and bore the bur
den and heat of the day through many hard
fought political canvass. Will they who are
now deriving the spells of war and wearing the
laurels of victory, remainder the men, who
during the battle, acted as powder monkeys
AMI gun swabbers in the front line of trenches!

The VILLAGERS at the foot Of mountain railroad
gazed in horror at some rapidly descending cars
which had become loosened from AN ascending
train. The flying speed with which they came did
not appall them, but they knew that in few mo-
ments there would be sudden and fatal stop. Peo-
pie hold their breath and cover their heads when
human being is precipitated from great height.
The dizzy plunge does not cause them to SILVER,
but they know that mass Of senseless and CULVER
ing humanity is to be the sad result. We cannot
help this We naturally watch for visible results,
when they are serious more than when joyful. We
may be careless just now. but we want the future
to be happy. We may be thoushtless to- day, but
there Will come time when we must think. And
we dare not forget It. The wildly flying train, the
fatal fail. reckless excesses and especially an abuse
OF health, must all have a sudden end. People sell
dom appreciate health until it is taken from them.
We mourn its less. but do not See it depart nor
realize 1t is going. We gorge our stomachs, hvers
and kidneys, with solids which cannot be dissolved
and liquids which never should have been. We
take no notice Of the protest which these organs
make, but continue to pour and heap abuse upon
them. There is end to all this and fortunate is

Nothing requires more care than the liver and kid
neys. They furnish the life. hope and energy of
the world; and even with the greatest care they
are still the most delicate and hard working organs
OF our system. To keep both perfectly well is
great achievement, and there is nothing which GER
tdndy does this. but Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure This great natural remedy which
unltes the power Of curing with that of continuing
health, has taken America by storm. The ones it
has saved from impending death, and the ones to
whom it has given renewed health and strength are
numbered by thousands, and they are constantly
increasing No greater forethought can be exercised
than to make use of its invigoratng powers, and
