Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition of the surplus in the
q. 8. Treasury engages the attention
of our Statesmen. but a more vital
question has our attention, and that is
the reduction of the Surplus Consump-
tives. Since the discovery and intro
duction of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption. there has been
marked decrease in the mortality from
this dreaded disease, and it is possible
to still further reduce the number of
COnsumptives. How? By keeping
constantly at hand bottle of DR..
Kings New Discovery and using ac-
cording to directions, upon the appear
ance of the first symphonic, such as a
Cough. a Cold, sore Throat or Chest,
or Side Pain. Taken thus early a cure
is guaranteed. Trial bottle 10 cents at

WHY NOT BIZ FAIR

The Lawrence Democrat seems to think that
there Ia very alarming Inconsistency In the fol-
lowing dates Of the Tribune:

renee Weekly Tribune, Sept. %, Chas. F. Scott,

proposes to lower the ''necessaries Of life"
reduced the total ttrif on this quantity some
thing over ten millions of dOliars.-Ldrrence
Daily Tribune, Sept. IS, Chds. F. Scott, editor.
The above is very fair illustration Of the
respect for truth which inspires the average
republican editor when making statements
respecting the tarif-Ldwrenee Democrat.
Don't forget that they "iearn sorIe-
thing" new every few days, and that
the nearer the election and the more
dubious the high tariff cause, the more
rapidly their new.found knowledge
crystalizes.-C0urant.
If the COurant had wanted to be fair
it might have published the Tribune's
comments on the foregoing which
were as follows:
Culled out thus and taken from their
proper connection, the statements do
seem ot variance. But as they origin
ally appeared there was no inconsistent
cy. certainly not in idea, If apparently
50 in statement. The first above quot
ed appeared in paragraph asking
why the democratic party, if it was
really opposed to trusts and il the tar
iff sustained trusts. did not reduce the
tariff on sugar. The meaning plainly
was that if the tariff had any effect on
trusts, the sugar trust was certainly
not going to suffer as long as it could
have the protection of 81 per cent.

quoted was directly in the same line,
showing that the slight reduction
made by the Mills bill was of no ad-
vantage whatever to the consumer as
it would not reduce the price of sugar
to him tenth of a cent a pound.
If the choice of terms is objected to,
however, we will amend by substitute
ing the word removal for reduction
and repeat our queries: If the demo-
cratic party is opposed to trusts, and If
the tariff sustains trusts, why doesn't
the democratic party favor the remov-
al of the tariff on sugar, as it favors
the removal of the tariff on wool? And
if the democratic party really wants to
reduce the cost of the necessaries of
life, and if a tariff Increases that cost,
why doesn't the party favor the renaou.

the removal of the tariff on salt? A
straightforward answer to these quer-
les would greatly interest large num-

NOTES FROM JAPAN.

There is a little village at the pass
over which we came. The residents
almost all belong to the priests fami-
lies and the mountain is considered
sacred. 1t is very difficult to get any
thing up there because the priests do
not belong to the merchant class. They
are willing to give away anything
but with the understanding that
money or something be given after
wards. lfyou go down the road few
steps you find path, winding down
the side of hill. There is a spring,
the clear, cold water of which bubbles
up from beneath the rocks at the foot
of the path. Following the road still
further you find that the hill is cover
ed with little cemeteries that have
pretty winding paths leading to them.
People from many differ ent cities are
buried there.
-
One day we visited the chief temple
of this village, AS you enter the yard
you pass two large bronze lanterns at
the foot of long fight of stone steps.
At the top is the gate proper, which is
more like a house with passage
through it than a gate such as
are in America. The buildings are
very old and out of repair. There are
four temples and some dozen or more
shrines. which were thought by new
lv arrived foreigner to be bee-hives.
The porches Of the temple have very
strange and picturesque carving on
them, and some odd painting but it is
all so old now that but little color is
left. These are shinto temples, and in
a corner of each is the guardian of the
temple. A little boy showed us around
and answered our questions. The
guardian is very large figure carved
out of wood, and dressed in silk. We
asked the boy if the gods beard was
hair and he said no, then taking hold
of the beard he pulled one thread from
it to show US, but in SO doing pulled
the head apart. 1t had previously
been broken and mended. The boy
was not frightened at all but climbed
up and tried to fix it with string.
This shows how little reverence some
of the younger generation have for
their religion.
You have probably heard of the |
eruption of Bandai San, which Occur
ed some two months ago and Destroy
ed several villages. There were over
four hundred people killed and it
caused great excitement. One of the
