being severely felt in many places
In April the quarantine against South

the sale of hundreds of thousands
of dollars's worth of cattle and horses.

A Mothers LOve-A Practical
Illustration Of Its Power.

A n,osher's love What potent thing
it 10 ! It will melt the heart of the most
hardened criminal, when no other inHu-
ence would be efectuaI. No one but
mother knows its full meaning, but every
one can appreciate it if they will. II IS
known, though, that it means sleepless
nights, care, inconvenience, and, If ne
cessary, want, hardship and death. But
the subject has been too eloquentiy
treated by the sweetest poets and the
ablest writers to furnish an essay for
these columns. Too many practical IL
lustrations occur in every day life for it
to be cwele upon, so that il is unnecessary
to speak of the subject further in order
to make the reader understand the full
meaning Of what is to follow.
Mrs. Henry Schualen, of Ashland,
KY, writes that her daughter has been
cured of deafness which resulted from
chronic catarrh. She tells how she had
lost all hope of her daughter her ideal
being cured, and how overjoyed she is at
the result. After trying many remedies,
she says PERUNA brought cure, and
that the daughters hearing is restored.
She concludes, by speaking in the most
fattering terms of PERUNA, and then de-
scribes in the most lovely manner the
happiness it has brought her, and reviews
the distress she experienced while her
daughter was afflicted.
DR.. A. R. Ong, Martins Ferry, O.,
writes II have large trade on your
PERuNA. Think it is grand remedy"
Mr.. Robert c. Hannah, Tolesborough,
Lewis county, KY, writes: write to in

but they did me no good whatever. Our

Honoring Heroes.

Savannah News.l
No people, probably, are more
given to hero worship than are the
Americans. The Americans do not
worship all heroes, for instances have
not been rare in this country in which
those manned in battle have begged
bitter bread through realms their
yalor saved" It is not so necessary
that q hero shall do something really
heroic as that he shall be fortunate
enough as to possess an effective
corps Of claquers to applaud and by
their example induce others to praise
his real or imaginary deeds of hero
ism.
There are different kinds of hero
worship, varying with the different
classes Of society. Some place the
victorious General, or the triumphant
statesman, or the popular preacher
on pedestal even while yet alive,
and bend the knee and make rich
offerings of money, jewels, houses
and lands. Others look on with
wonder that q man should so outstrip
his fellows as to attain to such a po-
sition, while yet others are only curl
GUS to see the great man and ascer-
tain whether he is made of the same
sort of clay as other mortals are.
The worlds full Of heroes in every
walk of life-men, women of all ages,
and children even daily sacrifice
themselves for country or creed, or
for those they love better than life
itself. They live and die unknown,
unhonored and unsung." 1t seems,
then, that it is not so much heroism
that makes one great as it is notorie-
ty. Heroism is like many of the well
known nostrums of the day-its value
and success do not depend SO much
on intrinsic merit as on the skill and
persistence with which it is advertis-
ed. Millions of the truest and BRAY
est of earth fill unknown graves or
struggle in obscurity for livelihood,
while several New York hoodlums
who recently went on the alleged
fillibustering expeditiun to Central
America are honored with places in a
dime museum, where they daily ex-
hibit their cheek to the foolish pub

The Irish Land Bill.


The plan Of settling the Irish ques.
ton as Indicated by the tenor of the
proposed land bill in conjunction
with the home rule policy, is sure to
excite bitter opposition in England
on account of the immense SUM that
is intended TO be used In buying out
the interest. of the landlords who
own SO large an area of Irish soil
It is intimated that at least f200, ,000,-
900 win be required for that purpose,
and the prospect of such an addition
to the national debt will have a
natural tendency to arouse the oppo-
ton of the English taxpayers. The
Tory newspapers have already open
ed fire on the Gladstone ministry for
proposing measure that will burden
not only the present but future gen.
erations for the purpose of satisfying
the turbulent Irish who they say
would be better managed by coercive
treatment.
But it has been the coercive policy
which. continued through many gen.
erations, has not only proved a fail
ure, but in the long run has been
more expensive than the plan of set
Element proposed by the Irish land
bill. The blighted condition of Ire
land, brought about by bad govern
ment and a vicious land system, has
been loss to the realm in a pecuni
ary point of view far beyond any ex-
pense that may be incurred by meas
ures designed to improve her mate
rial prosperity by converting half
starved peasantry into a community
Of land owners stimulated to thrift
and industry by the sense of owner
ship.
The system of landlordism that
has prevailed in the island for CEN
turies, reducing the rural population
to abject poverty and draining it's
resources to maintain an absent aris-
tocracy, has done more than any other
cause to bring Ireland to her present
impoverished condition, and there
could be no satisfactory settlement
Of the Irish difficulty without the
adoption of just such remedy as
is intended to be furnished by the
land bill.

Savannah News: cit has been
remarked in Washington that. the
old Senate custom Of Senator not
making speech until his second

seems to be no reason why Senator
should not make speech during his

the first term, if he has anything to
say and knows how to say it,"
