MiIestones on the Road to Health.

The recovery of digestion, and the resump-
ton of activity by the liver, bowels and kid
neys are nilestones that mark our progress on
the road to health. They speedily become
perceptible when Hostetter's Stomach Bit,.ers
is used by the invalid. Nothing SO surely and
expeditiousiy consumes the distance to the
desired goal. AS no bodily function can suffer
interruption without impairing the general
health of the system, so the system can never
acquire perfect vigor, health's synonm until
that function be actively resumed. Take. fol

Mrs. Harriet Cummings of Cincinnati,
Ohio, writes: "Early last winter my
daughter was attacked with severe
cold, which settled on her lungs. We
tried several medicines. none of which
seemed to do her any good, bnt she con-
tinued to get worse, and finally raised a
large amount of blood from her lungs.
We called IN family physician, bnt he
failed to do her any good, At this sIme

IN SECRET SESSION.
After hearing the above and other
testimony the coroner held consulta-
tion with the. district attorney and jurors.
and it was thought that witnesses had
been secured who would by their testi
mony irnplicate two or three different
parties in tie city, and desired that it be
not made public until after q verdict
was rendered and arrests made, if the
evidence would justify it, as was Their
thought. Accordingly the reporters and
oil spectators were excluded from the
room.
While it was imp possible to learn the
exact nature of the testimony given
after the doors were closed, II is under
stood that it was of very damaging
character to several parties in the city,
and something OF a startling nature may
be expected when the inquest is conclud-
ed. 1t is not thought possible to render
verdict before late this afternoon, if it
is reached to-day.

The Lake Borgne Scheme.

At last the promoters of the Lake
Borgne outlet scheme have got a report
in it's favor from a committee OF Congress.
Senator Van Wyck, who has the reputa-
tion OF being something of a crank, on
behalf OF the Senate Committee on the
Improvement OF the Mississippi River,
has made report which takes the posi-
tion that, all other plans for preventing
overlows in the lower Mississippi valley
having failed, the Lake Borgne plan ought
to be tried.
1t has been a good many years since
Capt. Cowden carried this Lake BOrgne
scheme to Congress, and he has grown
old while haunting the Congressional
Hobbies buttonholing Congressman to give
him hearing. He met with no success
beyond making convert of Repres 3nta-
tive Holman, and he finally turned the
outlet business over to syndicate of
New Workers. who. it is said, have some
money to spend on il because thev see a
chance TO make some money out Of it.
The Lake Borgne outlet theory has
been condemned by many competent en-
gineers. They have shown to the satIsfsc-
tion OF all who have cared to make them
selves acQu 4inted with their arguments
that an outlet at Lake Borgne would not
prevent the disastrous overfows in the
lower Mississippi valley.
Mr.. Van Wyck. however, is Just the
sort OF a man to be caught by a scheme
like this outlet one. Its cheapness is,
perhaps, the first attraction to him, and
the second is that IL looks reasonable that
a short cut to the sea ought TO empty the
river much more rapidly than it can be
emptied by a channel ten times as long as
T. is.
II is noticeable that the advocates Of
the outlet system never have anything TO
say about the Atchafalaya outlet. The
Atchafalaya river now carries almost as
much water TO the Gulf, when the rivers
are full, as the Mississippi does, and vet
the overHows in the Mississippi valley
are as frequent and disastrous now as
they were when the Atchafalaya was
little more than a ditch, snd was spanned
by fallen trees. There is some satisfac-
ton in the thought that it Will be some
years before Mr.. Van Wyck will be able
TO convert Congress into voting millions
OF dollars for the Lake Borgne expert

TONNAGE OLE MERCHANT STEAM VESSELS.


1t seems that this country holds the
second place with respect to sailing YES
sells, and the fourth place with respect to
steam vessels, A glance at the percent
ages of increase IN the tonnage of steam
vessels OF the different countries, how
ever, justities the conclusion that we
shall not continue to hold the fourth place
very long. The percentage of increase in
our steam vessel tonnage during the last
fifteen years is only 6.I while the increase
in Austria's steam tOnnage-the percent
age of whose increase is the smallest Of
all the nations mentioned in the list
was thirty times as great. The figures
show that the increase in the steam tom
mage Of France, Norway and Sweden,
and Greece, during the period mentioned,
is something remarkable.
The opponents Of free ships claim that
If the free ships policy is adopted all of
our ship yards will be closed and thou
sands OF workmen thrown out of employ
ment. They also claim that there is so
much competition in the ocean carrying
trade that there is no longer any profit in
it.
These arguments, Of course, have some
force but they are not conclusive. If
there is no profit in the ocean carrying
trade, and if it wouldn't pay this country
to do any greater part of it than it is now
doing our merchants and capitalists
would not purchase ships abroad, even if
a law providing for free ships we're en-
acted. But there is every reason to think
that If this country could get ships sufli-
GENTLY cheap to enable it to compete in
the carrying trade with other nations it
would pay it to engage in such competi-
tion. There are two reasons why it would
pay The first is that it would
distribute annually many millions of
dollars in this country that ia now paid
to foreign countries, and the second is
that it would enable us to introduce our
manufactures into foreign markets to bet
ter advantage.
Being dependent largely upon the ves-
sells of other nations to carry our manu-
features it is safe to say that we are con-
stantly working under great disadvant-
age in competing with those nations in
foreign markets. Although there is not
much hope at present that Congress will
pass law providing for free ships it is
not improbable that such a law will be
passed at no very distant period.

POly0amy Must Go.

The number of polygamists in the Utah
penitentary is gradually becoming quite
imposing. Doubtless the prosecutions
will 20 on as long as the prosecuting off,
GERS can get sufficient evidence against
the guilty parties.
The answer which Apostle Lorenzo
Snow and forty-seven other polygamous
convicts at present in the penitentiary
have made to the proposition of Gov. West
of that Territory to use his influence to
secure their pardon if they would promise
to obey the laws shows that they are not
yet in repentant mood. They declare
that polygamy is part Of their religion,
and that to give it up would be to aban-
don their religion. They declare that they
would rather spend their lives in jail than
to yield any part of their faith, par
ticularly that part which relates to plural
wives.
1t is clear that Apostle Snow and mis-
fellow convicts think that they are suffer-
ing in good cause, and that what they
consider martyrdom on their part will be
the means of largely increasing the num-
her and power Of the Mormons.
The Mormons have passed the threaten
ing period and have now reached the
whining period. They hone to excite
sympathy for themselves and other law
breaking MOrmons by pleading that their
religion requires them to practice polyg-
amy.
II the authorities remain firm it will
not he long before the next period is
reached, which will be the period of sub
mission.
1t is pretty certain that the Mormons
have got either to give up their peculiar
institution or leave the country. They
are at liberty to worship in any way they
please, but they are at last beginning to
understand that the government is in
earnest in its determination TO put a stop
to the plural wife business. The laws
are against 1t, and the sentiment of the
entire country is against it.. The Ed
munds law is approved, and the country
would stand law against polygamy even
more vigorous than 10 is.
The mistake that was made az the out
set in dealing with polygamy was that
there was too much leniency. II a law
like that now in force had been adopted
when the Mormons urst located in Utah
there would now be nothing OF polygamy
10 the country worth speaking Of After
few more apostles and elders are putinto
the peniten,iary. however, it is probable
that the Mormons will begin TO see that
they are yet hardly strong enough 10 defy
the law, aad will yield, though with bad
grace. TO the inevitable.

ana thought it would be pleasant to get Off

boulder, cut pipeful from my plug, filed my
pipe and felt for match. Well, there wasn't
match anywhere in my pockets. / searched
and searched. but there was no match. | tell
you, felt worse over that dsapp than
I've done since when the market has gone
back on me and hit me for a hundred thou
sand ut clip. But while sat on tn &C boulder
wrapped in gloom, what dye suppose my eye
suddenly fell onY A match, by heaven, lying
used it-thOugh was n little afraid TO touch
IL at fret and had my smoke So Won needn't
worry about how this political fight is going

will go to the trouble of providing a match
