Mn. TrLprs i. reported by the editor

Mr.. TMpES is reported by the editor
Of the Peoria Democrat Al saying that
he did not care who the democratic can
didate for tho presidency might BIO, so
long as he was "a mar who would in
spire confidence among the moneyed
classes" This is q very frank admission
on the part Of the old leader of what is
probably the leading thought in the
minds Of all the would-be president max
era ON the democratic side. To nominate
. man who viii "inspire confidence
among the moneyed classes" is exactly
what the democrats want to do. "The
moneyed c~lasses'' mean the men who
want their own schemes for money max
ing to 90 on prosperously and are willing
to pay heavily for that privilege. The
idea Of the democrats, evidently, is that
Il they can win the support of these men,
their money viii enable them to hood
wink the rest Of the public. Politics in
this country must have sunk to a low ebf
if TO inspire the confidence Of ''the mon
eyed CLASSES" is regarded as Of moro i'm
porIance than to inspire the con6denos
Of the people.

Mr.. D~oRsHEIMER says that he concurs
in the report Of the house committee
against woman's suffrage because he
thinks giving the ballot to women to be
at present inexpedient. There will come
a time, however, he says, when it will
be advisable to extend the franchise TO
both sexes: Mr. Dorsheimer's idea that o
few years can change a wrong purpose
into a right principle is interesting. II
would be more valuable, however, if he
had given some explanation of just how
the change can be effected. Ordinary
people will be entirely unable to under.
stand how a great principle of govern
ment can be wrong in 1884 and right in
1886. If it is right that women should
vote in one year, it must be right that
they should vote in the other. There is
a good deal of this kind of unhealthy
aentimentality on the suffrage question
which Mr.. Dorshei mer displays ever
among those who are opposed to the
franchise for women.

OK the 4th of July, 1882, the Ohio
river steamer Scioto. while loaded to the
waters edge with excursionists, collided
with another boat, and sunk. Seventy
of her passengers were drowned. On
Monday last the pilot of the Scioto was
convicted of criminal negligence and som
fenced to pay a heavy fine and to be inn
prisoned for two years. This fact ID
worth recording as ono of the rare cases
where some kind Of justice has been done
to the men who are responsible for these
calamities. 1t is true that two years im.
%prisonment seems . triaing punishment
for having caused the death of seventy
persons. But it 10 something. and there
is a satisfaction in knowing that the mar
will not entirely escape. In some parts
of Europe this pilot and the captain Of
the steamer would both be hanged. They
do these things better in Europe.

IT may have been rather a small trick
for > Chicago newspaper to palm of an
article written in its own off as a cable
special upon its unsuspeoting contempt
rary. The trick, however, neatly illus
trates the fraud perpetrated upon the
readers Of 30 many American newspapers
under the head of ''oable specials" The
great majority of these alleged specials
are prepared in tho Office OF the paper in
which they are published, or invented by
this phenomenal imaginations of CORE
spondents in New York. Why it should
not be as bad to lie about a dispatch a
it is to lie about any other matter what
soever is q question in morals which v

Mr.. Folger's house at the time and the

head of the treasury department, though

remarks, "it would look better" OF
course there is no legal obstacle to Mr..

necessary. But it occurs to us that il
the United States doesn'tpay its secretary
of the treasury enough to enable him to

The BEE not only publishes the asso-
ciated press report, but a large number Of
special dispatches, most of which
are sent from Chicago, one of the
principal news centers in this country,
by its own special correspondent. The
enterprise of THE BEE is being ap-
preciated by its patrons and the
public generally. This, of course, e
cites the jealousy of the Republican and
it is but natural for that sheet, which
does not take any eastern specials, to

specials are not genuine. So far we

The capitalists of Helena and Benton,
Montana, are negotiating for the con-
ztruction of a railroad between both
towns, but as yet nothing definite has
been done. There is considerable wealth
tied up in the private Golfers of both
towns, and it is likely it will be used for
that purpose. The country along the
route is a rish mineral and agricultural
region. The falls Of the Missouri, with
its almost limitless water power, could be
utilized and the foundation of a great
manufacturing center laid. This latter
would be especially important as furnish
ing cheap power for the manufacture Of
wooden goods. The road will be startsd

connect with the Canadian Pacific.

Hollands Fight with the Sea.
From Good Words

From Good Words.
After a delicious breakfast Of coffee and
thick. cream, with rusks, scodes and different
kinds of cheese, always indispensable in Dutch
breakfasts, we took to the railroad again and
crossed Zealand, which chiefly consists of four
islands, Noordt Beveland, Zuid Beveland.
Schouwen and Walcheren, and is less visited by
the rest of the Netherlands than any other part
of the country. TIL land is ali,cut up into vast
polders, as the huge meadows are,called, which
entertainments. Here, if human care was with
drawnfor six months, the whole country would
be under the sea again. A corps of engineers,
called 'Water-staat, are continually employed
to watch the waters and to keep in repair the
dikes, which are formed of clay at the bottom,
as that is more waterproof than anything else,
and matched with willows, which are here
grown extensively for the purpose. If the sea
passes a dixie ruin is imminent, an alarm bell
rings, and the whole population rush to the
rescue. The moment one dixie is even men
aced the people begin to build another inside
1t, and then rely upon the double defense
while they fortify the old one. But all their
care has not preserved the islands of Zealand.
Three centuries ago Schouwen was entirely
submerged and every living creature drowned.
Soon after Noordt Bcveland was submerged
and remained for several years entirely under
water, only the points of the church spires
being visible. Zuid Beveland has been sub
merged in the fourteenth century. Walcheron
was submerged as late as lS0S, and Tholen
even in 1925. 1t has been aptly asserted that
the sea to the inhabitants of Holland is what
Vesuvius is to Tore del Greco. De Amicis
says that the Dutch have three euenies-the
sea, the lakes and the rivers; they repel the
sea, they dry the lakes and they imprison tho
rivers, but with the sea it is o combat that
never ceases,

Kidney Complaints.

The kidneys form a very important channel
for the outlet of disease from the system, car
rying off accumuiations that poison the blood.
As tho lungs remove the carbonic acid, the liv-
er the hillary acid, SO the kidneys remove the
uric acid. The undue accumulation of this acid
is the poison that often produces rheumatism
and other chronic diseases. The kidneys are
often effected and cause serious disease when
least suspected. If there is weakness, heat or
pain in the back or loins, WEAKNESS, nervous
restlessness, and any unnatural condition of
the urine, q hot dry skin, hectic Pushes,
bloating Of the body or swelling of
tho limbs, annoying headaches, INSTRUCTED
circulation, with sediment or gravely or al
luminous deposits in the secretion from the
kidneys; or If that secretion be either extreme
ly pale o: high colored, then the kidneys are
evidently not doing their natural work. Many
suffer from serious kidney trouble without
knowing what ais them. No matter in what
form the kidney complaint may exist, there is
no better purifying, regulating diuretic and
tonic than Burdock Blood Bitters; its action
upon the kidneys is at once manifested.

The Oldest City.

The poetic and exalting associations
which naturally gather around the
places we find mentioned in Holy Writ
are too apt to be rudely dispelled on
nearer view and close acquaintance; for
the ravages of time and the neglect of
degenerate governments have left most
Of them forlorn and repulsive, and in
hapited the forlorn and repulsive peo-
ple--so traveller say. The still surviv-
ing beauty and Importance of Damas-
Gus, however, in spite of all disadvan-
tages, make it, in a measure an excep-
tion in the long roll Of decay and de-
parted glory. We may we'll %venerate
and admire the spectacle of the first
city in history OUTLYING so many young
er and greater ones. Its thousands OF
years are a kind Of mortality.
Damascus is the Oldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidon have crumbled
on the shore; Baalbec is a ruin; Palmy-
ra is buried in q desert: Nineveh and Ba-
bylon have disappeared from the Tigris
and the Euphratcs. Damascus remains
what it was before the days of Abra-
hama center Of trade and travel-an
island of verdure in the desert; "a pres
idential capital" with martial and sa-
cred associations extending through
thirty centuries.
1t was near Damascus that Saul of
Tarsus saw the light above the bright
ness of the SUD; the street that is called
Straight, in which it was said she
prayed" still runs through the city.
The caravan mt and goes as it did
a thousand years ago; there is still the
Sheik, the ass, and the water-wheel the
merchants of Euphrates and the Med
iterranean still occupy" these with
the multitude Of their wares"
The city which Mohamet surveyed
from a neighboring height, and was
afraid to enter, " because it was given
to man to have but one paradise, and
for his part. he was resolved not no
have it in this world" is to-day what
Julian called the "eye of the East" as
it was, in the time of Isaiah, "the head
of Syria"
From Damascus came the damson
(our blue PLUMP, and the delicious april
cot of Portugal, called damasco;

and silk, with vines and flowers raised
up on a smooth, bright ground; The
damask rose, introduced into England

Gus blade. SO famous the world over for

CIandestine Marriage.

Frank Condo, of West Troy, aged 16
years, and Belle Ferguson, of Amster-

vile IN. W Academy, where clandes-
timely married or Wednesday. The
preceptress, Mrs Ames. had frequently
admonished them for seeking each
others society at every opportunity,
and the knowledge oftheir disobedience
was interfering so much with the dis
cipline of the school that at the Thanks
giving vacation Miss Ferguson was told
not to return. She begged that this
course should not be taken, rs her
home was unhappy on account of a step
mother. The Conde boy was afflicted
in the same way. The marriage was
performed by Rev. N. Wirr, a retired
clergyman of the Lutheran Church, who
lives onlya few doors from the academy.
The same night both confessed to the
preceptress. The girl was sent home to
her father, while young Condo still re,
mains at the academy awaiting his

White Beaver and His Gun.

Houston (Minn.) Signal: We have
frequently read accounts of the remark
able rife shooting done by White Beav-
err CDR. Frank PowelD of La Crosse,
and like thousands of others, have
doubted his ability to perform such mar
vel with a shooting irons" but our in
credibility has vanished. While visit
ing the Gateway City, last Thursday
evening, we dropped into DIR. Powell's
Office, and the following shots made, to
crafty a few friends. were witnessed by
us personally. The doctor at frs
showed US position shooting. Sitting
in a chair, with his back to the target,
holding a looking glass before him, and
aiming through the same, he would hit
his mark every time. He then exhibit
ed some more difficult positions, he
would shoot and hit a small cork, sus-
pended in the air by q cord, and fast
enedto q chandelier. He shot the ashes
from q cigar, held by an assistant; shot
a cork from off his hat, which was
placed on the head of one of the spec
tators, shot a pellet (the smallest kind
made) out of a loop, said loop was made
of thread, and the last, and we thought
most difficult, was the cutting into of .
hair, which was pulled out of an Indi-
an scalp. We have n of the hairs,
which was shot into by White Beaver,
fastened to a piece of paper, in our
sanctum on exhibition, and also one of
the small pellets, which was shot from
the thread loop. The shooting was all
done with No. % cartridge rifle, and at
a distance of about sixty feet. "White
Beaver" by which name he is Familiarity
known might make a barrel of money
by his exhibit ms, but he seems to pre-
fer to entertain those he likes, and only
shoots for the pleasure it gives them.
