Ihe average society ,lournal
devotes about one column per week
to the discussion Of the sc-cailed
marriage problem. In this the
tendency toward celihacy is again
and again repeated and every rene
dy which could possibly be thought
OF is vented at somo time and place
In nine cases out OF ten, while some
responsibility is attributed to men,
the blame for the falling Of in mar
riages is placed upon woman. They
are accused Of being vain, extravs-
CANT, incompetent and frivolous,
and utterly without qualification
for any sterner work than flirting
or idling away whole days over
sensational novels. The merits of
the young man who minds his own
business and docs not get married
are l&uded to the skies; those of girl
who does exactly the same thing
are never mentioned.
Of course, the young men
are not to blame for the falling off
in the number Of marriages. Who
ever heard Of young man who was
lacking in any single or double re-
spscts? AS a rule, they never
smoke, drink, or idle their time
away, but are busy day after day
developing their mental qualities by
industrious study, and saving their
hard earned wages for the purpose
of getting married at later day.
Girls frequent beer saloons, play
pool, and organize expensive clubs,
but the young man has no time for
such frivolous entertainment. If
he did he would fall quite to the
leyel of his sister, and such q fate
must be escaped at all hazards.
The marriage problem will doubt
less solve itself in little time, as
most evils work out their own so!u
tion. AT any rate there is no rea.
son to fear the depopulation Of the
country from the falling off in the
number now. Nearly every institu
ton that the world has ever sane
toned at some time or another, has
passed through some species of trial
The desire fer congeniai feminine
society is natural to every man, anc
will continue to be gratiiied in spite
Of high rents and extrayagant mark
cts. and while it is being Gratifietl
just a little less Of the one sidec
arguments against women would b.

On the whole. women are a

CANCER GUREDl

Mrs. Olive Hardman, an old resident of Wal
ton county, and lady Of culture and pron-
nence, has this to say of the treatment Of cancer
with Swift's Specific:
Over fifteen years ago cancer made its ap-
peara"ce on MY face. 1t treated with Tlas-
tiers, and the core came out. The place healed
up after some time, and seemingly my lace
well However, in a few Years it returned again
with more violence than ever. 1t gave me n
great deal OF Jain. The former remedy seemed
to do it no good. Knowing the disease to run
in the family, having had one sister to die with
cancer became seriously apprehenSive Of my
condition. 1t continued to increase in size and
viruicnce. l almost gave up all hore of ever
being cured. The physicians advised the use Of
the knife and caustic. This more than |
could bear, and refused to have it operated upon
in that way. All other remedies were used, but
the cancer continued to grow worse. The pain
was excruciating, and my life was u burden. In
this extremity my son, Dr. Hardman commend
cd me to try Swifts Specific. 1t was the last re-
sort, but was prejudiced against the use of
patent medicines and especially this one, that
hcsitated some time. At last gave my consent,
not believing there was any virtue i'll it. The
first bottle only increased the size Of the sore
and the discharge from it, and hence did not
spire me with any hope On taking. the second

II softcncd the scab cooled the face and relieved
the itching sensation. The spot on my face be-
gan to decrease, as well as the discharge, and
hope sprang up in my heart. Could it be, l
asked myself, that was 1T last to be relieved OF
this disease? 1t has given many Garl;

between hope and fear for q long time 1t a
long night of weeping, but joy came with the

possible for me to iress my gratitude for this

Vice President Hendricks made
An Irish land league speech the
other day. 1t may be regarded as a
shameless bid for the Irish vote.
Even as such it ill became one in
his position to make it. But there
was worse phase of the matter.
Whstsvsr designing demasogues
and their credulous dupes may as.
ssrt, it is quite certain that M real
friend Of Ireland weuld at this dav
favor its independence of the British
government. That Ireland has
suffered wrongs no student Of his
tory will attempt to deny. Would
Irslsnd's condition be bettered by
a separation However the oues-
tion may be honestly answered, it
is certainly net doing Ireland or
the Irish . kindness to incite them
to hostility against their lawful gov
ernmsnt. Every effort at forcible
separation has been followed by
greater and more cruel oppression.
The "fool friends" of Ireland have
done nothing for her but to increase
her misery. 1t is wrong in any
one to foment insubordination to
legal authority and especial, is i,
wrsng in the Vice President of the
United States to countenance, even
by an uncalled-for piece of political
dsmsgogism, an organized effort
against the peace and dignity OF q
nation with whom we are at peace

According to the "Statistical
Y Yearbook for the German Empire"
the population Of Germany was, in
1872, II ,22S,o00 persons; in 1888
it had risen to 45,662, 900. In
eleven years, therefore, the increase
OF the population was 4,634,000,
and vet during those eleven years
there had been very large emil
grafton from Germany. The Ger
man statistical department has en-
deavored to ascertain the number
Of German residents abroad, and it
computes this at little over 2, 500,-
600, of which nearly 100000 are
in the United States. In Switzer-
land there are as many as 95,262
Germans, ii Austria SO, ,4422, and in
France 81, 1888. OF course the es-
innate OF 100000 Germans in the
United States cannot include the
descendants Of Germans who were
born here, but only those who are
themselves natives of Germany.
