A Return to DUTY.

This is always desirable, and the speedier
it takes place the better Doubly welcome
is it in the case of those usually indust rious
little organs, the kidneys, which when
they go on a strike-sO to sPeak-and drop
work, seriously imperil health in more
than one way. First and foremost their
inaction begets their disease, which is
hydra headed, including such dangerous
maladies as Bright's disease and diabetes.
Next, when inactive they fail To assist in
removing from the blood impurities that
begets rheumatism, govt and dropsy.
Third, their inaction weakens the bladder.
All this is preventable and remediable by
the pleasant promoter OF organic action,
Hostetter's Stomach Btters, at once
tonic and a regulator. This gently but
effectually impels the kidneys TO return TO
duty, and strengthens them and the
bladder Upon the bowels, stomach and

600 bushels. In 1877. when the self
binder first began 20 be used. the crop
mounted to nearly 364. 000, 000 bushels
Again, In 1878, it mounted up, and from
that date 10 1897 inclusive. IA which
period the use Of the self binder had be

FOREIGN ADVICES
Emperor William Further Explains HIS
Speech Of Last Saturday.

BERLIN, Oct. 29-In reply to request
from the municipal council for an explain
alton of the emperor's speech of Saturday,
the following which as text of the con-
Guiding passages of the speech, was sent to
Mayor Ferckenbeck:
Il cannot but give expression to a very
painful "reminiscences of my journey.
While have devoted health and strength
to securing the peace and welfare of the
fatherland and thus of the capital also, by
creating ties of friendship, the daily press
OF the capital has given publicity to and
spoken about the affairs of my family in a
manner which private individual would
never tolerate. ! am not only painfully
impressed by this, but my displeasure has
been aroused. wish, above all, that the
continuous citing of the name of my de-
parted father shall cease. 1t most deeply
Injuries my feelings as his son and it is in
the highest degree unbecOming. | trust
that when I choose Berlin as my principal
resldence-and as Berliner il always at
tracts me-the people will avoid making
the private relations of my family the sub
ject of press discussion. The duties unit
ing prince with his people for the purpose
of making the father land great and happy
are numerous and important enough for
them to devote their whole attention to it
in thoroughly patriotic manner, allowing
all other affairs such as l have
already mentioned to rest without
giving them publicity. They should com
bine to usetheir strength in faithful de-
votion to these high and noble aims. l
trust the representatives of Berlin, to
receive whom gives me special
pleasure, will endeayor to perform their
part"
The passage in which the emperor re-
Dukes the press for quoting the Emperor
Frederick in unfavorable comparison with
elicits special interest. The first
semi official copy contained no explicit
reference to the Emperor Frederick.

Cd cheaper. Foreign wheats are weaker,
excepting the finest whites, which are firm

per Genital higher. Corn is slow. Linseed
is Sd dearer. There were ten arrivals of
wheat cargOes. One was sold, three were
Withdrawn and six remain. At today

THE BUREAU OF PRINTING AND IN
CRAVING.

| WASHINGTON, Oct 29-E. Q. Graves
| chief of the bureau of printing and en-
craving, has completed his annual report
to the secretary of the treasury. The re-
port shows that the production of securi-
ties during the year just ended exceeded
that of any preceding year in the history
of the bureau. There were printed and de-
liyered to the departments IS, 040,94S sheets
of securities, 5,3SS,777 more than in 1887.
Of United States notes, gold and
silver certificates, bonds and national
bank notes there were delivered
LOSS, AS sheets, representing a
face value of S461. 495, 2S0. There were print
ed and delivered %, 950,98S sheets of inter
nal revenue stamps containing 639, S36, 422.
Separate Of custom stamps there were pro-
duced 402, 40 sheets, and of miscellaneous
securities ~, ;234 sheets. There were turned
out during the year II, III volumes of in
ternal revenue stamps, drafts, checks and
similar securities. There were delivered
to the treasurer of the United States dur
ing the year, in notes and certificates and
notes of the denomination of $50 and
under $3.50, 960, 600, of which SlO9.O63
CONTESTED of silver certificates. To October
l. 1888, there have been delivered sos, f64, 900
in 81 certificates, and S19,4SS, 900 have been
delivered iii 81 certificates. 10 this same
date there have been presented to The treas
urer for redemption $3.50, 40 III 81 certifi-
Gates. The rate of redemption is much
less than that of any former issue of small
notes during like period, and proves that
the new certificates have withstood the
wear and tear of circulation remarkably
well. The expenditures of the bureau
for the fiscal year were S94S, 995; appro-
priaton, 1864, 039. The expenses OF the
bureau in 1888 were Increased at least $780,
0O0 by the operation of the provision grant
ing fifteen days annual leave, with pay, to
its employees. The report shows u reduc-
ton in expenditure and increase of pro
portion for the three years just completed,
compared with the three preceding years.
During the same period says the re
port, "a just and orderly system OF promo
ton has been adopted, and the en-
ployes, as a rule. have had
more constant employment and better
wages than ever before, while they have
been free from the terror of arbitrary dis
missal." The work of the steam power
place printing presses, Mr.. Graves says, is
equal to that of the hand presses, To re
place all the steam power presses with
hand roller plate printing presses would
add nearly $500, 900 to the annual expenses
of the bureau and would make it necessary
to enlarge the building occupied by the
bureau, in order TO provide room in which
