April 30th has been set apart by
President Harrison as day Of thanks
giving to God for one hundred years of
prosperity to! us as a Nation, that
being the centennial anniversary of the
Inauguration of George Washington as
President of these United States. One
hundred years is short time in the his
tory of Nation, but the century just
closing has been one Of very great de-
velopment in this country, and in fact
in all civilized countries Of the globe.
From what has already been accom-
plished in this land in the way Of rapid
transit and inventions in the past hun
dred years, it may be safely asserted
that we. as Nation, are just beginning
to develop our vast resources. Granting
this to be a fact, who would dare to pre-.
dict the condition of the United States
in 1889.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For q
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and there.
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly

The Cost Of Ocean Steamships.

An order for new ship of the class
required to compete in the modern pas.
senger service OF the Atlantic is not by
any. means matter to be determined on
without grave consideration. Speed is
costly, and as you increase it it is gen.
orally necessary to also increase the ton
Aage. This forces upon your considers
ton tides, channels, harbor-bars, and
dock accommodations, all of which i'm
pose limitations upon you. And then
the cost of the ship herself is not mat
YER which even the wealthiest of cor.
porations can provide for at moments
notice it Is not one hundred thousand
dollars, nor five hundred thousand dol.
lArs that the work calls for, but about
five times the latter sum, for it is safe to
say that vessel superior to the City of
New York or the Etruria could not be
built for less than two million and q
half dollars.
Sometimes the ship-builders are will.
ing to become part owners OF the pro.
ected vessel sometimes they take as
part payment for the work some older
vessels Of the line, which they refit, re.
engine, modernize, and sell again. The
ability OF the builders to make an ar.
Iangement of this kind, OF course, in.
huences the placing OF the contract, in q
measure, but they must also be able to
give certain guarantees. They must en-
her into an engagement that that the
projected shall shall be able to carry so
many passengers and so many tons of
cargo, and to attain a specified speed on
. given consumption OF coal per day.
Let us say, for instance, that the stipula-
lions are these: Accommodations for
coo saloon passengers, $50 intermediate
passengers, and 1900 steerage passen.
gers; registered tonnage, 5000; speed, 10
knots on consumption of 800 tons per
day. II the ship fails to fulfill these con.
ditions the builders agree to forfeit a
part OF the amount they would other
wise receive for her. or they may be
compelled to take her back altogether.
This was the case with the City oi
Rome, which was built for the Inman
line by the Barrow Ship.building Com.

Postmaster. General Wanamaker.

Mr.. Wanamaker is a man that holds
decided views on many subjects; amongst
others the temperance question does
not 60 unnoticed. A few weeks ago he,
in addressing his Sabbath school class
in Philadelphia, spoke of those people
who have been made broken. hearted
by the liquor traffic and likened them to
she stranded ships at Samoa, "beaten
against the rocks Of adversely by this
tide OF liquor and license" He con-
inues and finds another class who are
also tossed about. He says:
Its the same with many politician.
He's afraid he won't get votes, SO he is
silent on the liquor question When a
cut on this question he is ruled by the
liquor interests. The drunkard who
votes for Prohibition is freer man than
the total abstainer, who carries water on
both shoulders and then votes for LIQUOR,
or to put it in the harness of High
License.
"Just as the saloon.keeper must an.
swer for every glass he sells, so we must
ohoWCi wi NOtAhS III uluoi. ~ 10
simply question OF whether or not we
are in favor of the saloon. 1t isn't
question of High License. The quibble
that Prohibition does not prohibit has
nothing to do with it. The law against
stealing does not prevent stealing. The
same power that puts the amendment in
our Constitution will attend to the en-.
forcement of the law. 1t is our duty to
make it as difficult to get liquor as it is
to get poison.
License means that the city, the
State and the saloon.keeper shall 90 into
partnership to ruin men, to build up
jails, almhouses, hospitals and houses
Of correction, and to keep up the taxes.
Gods going to count the votes. Vote
Tor Prohibition and you will be voting
for Him. for order, for religion, and for
the highest civilization. He will see
every ballot. When you go home to.
night 60 down on your knees every one
Of you, and pray God to help you to
carry the Amendment"
