A big success.

My wife had been ailing long time
with dyspepsia and nervousness and
was in bed two years with a compllca-
ton of disorders her physicians could
not cure, when ! was led by reading Il
circular left at my door to try Parkor's
Ginger Tonic. Having been 50 often
deceived by worthless mixtures nothing
but my wife's dangerous condition
could have led Us to make any more
experiments. But it was a big success
Three bottles cured her, at IL cost Of
dollar and fifty cents, and she is now
as strong as any woman. and regularly
does her household duties.-R. D.,

Secretary WINDOWS first act as
the head Of the Treasury Department
shows that President Garfield made no
mistake in selecting him for that i'm
portant Office The failure Of the last
Congress 10 pass a satisfactory Refund
ing Act left the Secretary Of the Treas
ury with great problem on his hands.
A bout $3.50, 000,0 OF bonds become
payable July !, at the option Of the
Govermcnt-of which $l95, ,000, 600
bear interest at six per cent, and the
rest at five per cent. 1t is highly de-
sirable to stop this large interest at the
date when the bonds fall due, and how
to do this in the absence Of IL Refund
ing Act was the Sccretary's problem.
His solution is bold TO the verge Of au-
dacity, and as ingenious ! it is bold.
He found that the Treasury could com
mand by July about 5000, 000, 600, TO
pay what bonds are presented. He
has therefore issued a call for all the
Skies" outstanding, which he will re-
deem if their holders so desire. If they
prefer, he will exchange them for bonds
bearing stamp which declares that
they are continued during the pleasure
| Of the Government at the rate Of - per
cent. interest. The Secretary will
know fifty days before this call natures
what amount he will be required to re-
deem, and what amount will be thus
exchanged IL is not expected that
more than $50 200, 900 or $40 000, 00G
will be presented for payment, and
the amount may be even smaller. lie
can then proceed TO take similar meas
ures TO refund the Elves" towards
which end he may be helped by the
fact that about 500, 900 900 of the -four
per cent. bonds have never been sold
aud could be disposed Of ut handsome
premium.

THE recent earthquake shock in
Colorado was most severe in the near
vicinity of the Twin Lakes, where 1t
caused great CONSERVATION and alarm
among the miners. Some men were
engaged in blasting in tunnel connec'
ted with the Steadfast lode, when the
rumbling began. % dull roar like dis
tant thunder was succeeded by shock
which dislodged considerable mass Of
ore. When the vibration ceased, the
men found that the entrance TO the tun-
mel had been nearly closed by The fall
ing rocks and that two miners named
Adams and Sedgwick had been danger
ousiy injured, the former, in all proba-

Bishop Foster ON RevivaIs.

OswEGo, April 1s.--Bishop Foster,
of Boston, who presides over the
Northern New York Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, in
session in this city, gave old-style
Methodism a galvanic shock in his
address to-day to the candidates for
admission to the conference. The
Methodist revival is an institution as
old as the Methodist Church, but
Bishop Foster admonished the cans
didates that "continued growth is
better than an avalanche of revival"
He also declared that "'Getting up
revivals is an odious phrase among
us, and distusting fact" He de-
clared himself tired of Christians
who have to be coaxed, and said

Mayhap this mountain bulldozer thinks
that he can scare people into the coupon
pen, but it is likely he will find out that
they don't scare worth cent.-Memphis
Avalanche.
It is sad thing to incur the dis
pleasure of a great journalist like
the editor of the Avalanche. It is
sad to see a great journalist like him
SO far lose his temper as to use cpl
thets. To be called mountain
bulldozer is something awful.
But we will try to survive it. It has
been the habit of some Middle and
West Tennessee journals to look
upon East Tennessee as a wastes
bowling mountain wilderness, but
we had not classed the Avalanche as
one of them. We have no idea of
soaring" any one, but even if we
do live among the mountains, we
have right to express our opinion.
One thing is certain, and all past his
tory shows it. East Tennesseans
have always been willing to pay their
honest debts. If the votes of East
Tennesseeans could have settled the
State debt, it would have been set
tied long ago. And when Memphis
mas been in trouble these ''mountain'
people have always stood ready tc
aid them in every possible way. We
believe the State debt ought to be
paid, and that it will be paid. We
believe it is honest to pay it, anc
dishonesty not to pay it. Believing
these things, we will say so, even a
the risk of being called "mountai1
bulldozer" by such papers as til,

AN INIPOSSIBILITY.

It is rumoved about Nashville that
Governor Marks aspires to be the
Malone of Tennessee. If the Gov
ernor. who has been one of the hard
est-shelled bourbons in Tennessee,
wants to initiate Malone so far as to
desert bourbonism, we are glad of it.
He has a right to repent of his polite
ical sins. "While the lamp holds
out to burn, the vilest sinner" &c.
But if he expects to place himself at
the head of a combination composed
of low-tax, repudiating Democrats
and per force hitch on the Republic
can party of Tennessee to his Read
juster party, he undertakes a larger
contract than he will be able to per-
form. We give him credit for too
much sagacity to undertake it.
The Republican party in Tennes>
see is distinguished for its steady
and consistent support of the States
credit. From the day it first had
an organization in the State, down
to the present hour, it has opposed
reputation in every form. More
than thirds of the vote given in
favor of the settlement by the last
legislature was given by Republi-
cans. Of thirty eight Republicans
IN the house, only three voted
against the 1908 bill. In the SEM
ate, only two Republicans voted
against the bill, and of the thirteen
who voted for it, eight were Repub-
licans. With this honorable record,
Governor Marks nor no one else can
lead the Republicans off, upon any
pretext whatever, into a fight against
the settlement of the debt.

TO CUMBERLAND GAP

We copy elsewhere from the Nor
ristown Times, the report of a meet
ing held in that town, for the purpose
OF taking steps to construct a rail-
road from there to Cumberland Gap.
We understand that the requisite
amount of stock to perfect the or
ganization was taken yesterday, and
that it will be perfected at once
under a charter already in existence.
A competent engineer will be en-
ployed at an early day, who will
survey and locate the road, with
a view to it's early construct
ton. The people of Morristown
are displaying commendable
enthusiasm in regard to the enter
prise and pluck worthy of good
cause. We wish them abundant
success. The road under contem-
plation would pass through a good
country, which, if developed, would
add largely to the wealth of our
section. Whatever builds up and
adds to the wealth of Tennessee
commands our earnest approval, and
our Morristown friends have our
heartiest sympathy in this enter
prise.

Henry Ward Beecher recently said
to a representative of the Philadel~
phia Record:
GAS grow older, forms and form
alism fade away, and my one religious
idea is to get the soul nearer to its
God. I have great respect for all
denominations, but none for the
forms by which they obscure God
and keep men from coming closer to
Him. What are these denomina>
tional lines after all? Only matters
of individual taste; for each sect
pretends only that it conveys its own
train to Heaven, where it doubts not
that it will meet others also. The
other day an Episcopalian minister
came to me in great distress of mind.
He is in charge of church in Brook
lyn, but felt that he could not stay
there because of his grave doubts on
the question of baptismal regenera~
ton and other points. I told him
I did not believe it necessary that he
should leave the body to which he
belonged ON this account, and that [
doubted whether he would feel as
much at home among the Congregas
tionalists or do as much good. He
went away after while, apparently
well satisfied to remain and labor
where he was. Now, why should I
do otherwise? I don't want to go
inside the fold and take the sheep
out, but go outside and bring them
in. The real question is not of OUT
wardness, but of our spiritual life,
our purity, truth and faithfulness."

however, does not appear to warrant any
such opinion. Mn. Dr. Edison, n ofthe
nurses, also retires IRON her duties in thai
capacity, and she and DIR. Woodward ex-
pect to leave the Branch to day. This

morning indicated by his remarks that h'
felt very much encouraged with the cast
