Salt Water Cures blindness.
From 81. Nicholas. ]

Professor A. III. List, a well-known blind
pianist of Braddock, has Just returned
home from visit to Atlantic City. While
on his way there he stopped at Philadel-
phia and consulted an eye physician, who
told him to bathe his eyes in the sea
water. Before List went to the seashore
he was unable to distinguish day from
night, but while there he followed the
physicians advice, and since his return
home he says he can distinguish moving
objects, such as persons and vehicles. He
can tell plainly when near house the
sort of light burning in room and the
various nights of persons when standing
closely together. List is about thirty-two
years of age. When he came to Braddock
three years ago he was blind and pro-
nounced incurable. He lost his sight by
being struck in the left eye by a see.saw.
1t is expected by the physicians that he
will regain the use Of his right eye with
out any further operations.-P Pitsburg

BROKE THE RECORD.
An Unusually Eventful Day for the
Thompson Family.


The Amador Dispatch contains the fol-
lowing eventful story: Last Saturday was
truly an eventful day for the family of
Alexander Thompson, who is now under
life sentence for the killing of William
Spray few months ago. At 10 O'Clock on
the morning of last Saturday the father re-
ceiyed his life sentence in the Superior
Court; about noon one of his daughters,
Miss Mary Thompson, was welded to ].
Craine, and about oclock in the afternoon
Miss Tillie Thompson, another daughter,
died at the family residence in Jackson
valley. In addition to this about twenty
head of horses which had been taken from
Thompson for debt, were sold at public
auction on the streets of Jackson. Can any
other family in the State beat this record
for variety of events in one day. Alexan-
der Thompson, it will be remembered, is
the man who murdered his neighbor near
lone several months ago, while quarreling
over certain partition fence line"

To increase our available resources we
must enlarge the area of the markets for
our surplus products. The solution of
our dangerous problems and the solven.
cy OF our future prosperity lies largely in
the direction of commercial reciprocity
among the nations of all America Be.
tween themselves there should be larg-
est reciprocity and closest commercial
relations. The unifying processes of
mutual prosperity produced by CONNER.
cial union with Canada would lead in a
few years to political federation which
would carry the American flag from the
falls of the Niagara to the north pole.
South of us lie the republics of the other
America and of the Isthmus. The con-
ditions OF our trade with South America
are stigma upon us as a commercial
nation. We buy from South America
$4,000 900 worth of goods more than
we sell to them. This is paid in cash
through London, and the English bank
er collects over 81 100000 in commis-
sions for the transaction of business.

POINTERS ON RECIPROCITY.
New York Tribune.1


The enthusiasm excited by Mr.. De-
pew's speech at the Chamber of Com.
merce dinner was not an effect of fine
oratory alone. There may be differences
of opinion respecting the expediency
of the tariff legislation of the present
Congress, but the policy of Reciprocity
and of the expansion of the American
export trade is favored by all the power.
full commercial and mercantile interests
represented in the Chamber.
No Democratic journal has ventured
to assert that the country voted against
Reciprocity and the revival of the com.
mercial marine. There has been no re.
Joicing on the part of the opposition
over the alleged collapse of this policy
there has been no claim on the part OF
any Democratic leader that Reciprocity
is condemned by the American people.
Congress has right to assume that the
policy of developing American shipping
interests and export trade commands
popular support. 1t will make serious
mistake If it neglects to enact pending
measures for the restoration of the
commercial marine or to cooperate with
the State Department in accomplishing
the supreme ends of continental policy.

The Sub.Treasury Scheme.

The Farmers Alliance of this country
is advocating precisely what has brought
calamity upon the Argentine Republic.
The sub-treasury scheme does not differ
in essence from the National mortgage
banks of the Argentine Republic, or
from its national pawnshops. Only two
days ago the National Grange, in session
at Atlanta, resolved in favor of the Gov
ernment advancing moneys to individu-
ais on real estate or any other good
securities. The condition in South
America to-day stands out before the
whole world to condemn such schemes.
The effect upon the Barings, and the
narrow escape of every civilized country
from financial panic, should be quite suf-
fcient to check the further spread Of
such pernicious doctrines in our repub-
lic,- Commereiat Gasstss.

There is a movement on foot to effect
meeting of County Treasurers for the
purpose OF completing an organization
The object is to confer together upon
certain growing evils consequent upon
our present system of taxation and col
lection and to suggest remedies for their
correction. Also to compare methods OF
book. keeping and to devise measures
for mutual advantage.
The question of the principles and
methods of taxation are destined to be
very prominent for the next few years,
and some radical legislation will no
doubt be proposed and discussed. Very
few members OF the legislature have any
practical knowledge of the details and
difficulties that belong to the present
system, 30 that the suggestions which
would come from an organized body OF
County Treasurers would be an invalu.
able guide in framing measures for the
Improvement of the system. Among
other things change in the law forbid
ding the transfer OF money from one
fund to another would be appreciated
by many of our County Treasurers and
Commissioners.
Treasurers Wickerham, of Adams,
Roudebush, OF Clermont, and Hether-
ington, of Highland, have expressed
their approval of the proposed organiza-
ton, and meeting will probably be ap.
pointed at Columbus before the conven-
ing of the Legislature in January.

Chauncey M. Depew, in his address to
the New York merchants, said that the
conditions of our trade with South Amer
lea were stigma upon US as CONNER
cial nation. He spoke glowing words
for reciprocity. But something besides
the lack of reciprocal treaties has ham.
pered this country. He struck through
to the bones of the trouble in two sen.
tences: "Most of the South American
commerce goes to England, France and
Germany. Each of those countries has
subsidized the steamship lines, and by
this means they have secured the trade
of those republics" European products
flood the markets; American products
are curiosities. Steamships have done
the business for Europe, and they will
do it for the United States, even to a
greater extent, when we have the com
mon sense to grant aid in the shape Of
postal subsidies. More money is now
wasted annually on little rivers than
would be required to sustain two OF
three great steamship lines to South
America.

Isaac Smith, who has been five times
respited by the Governor of the State, is
now thought to have fair chance for
his life. Smith was convicted and sen.
fenced at Waverly for the murder OF
VIM. Skidmore. Desperate efforts have
been made by the friends and attorneys
to have him pardoned, and recent de.
velopments have strengthened their
hope in their ultimate success in his
behalf. A number of detectives have
recently been at work in Pike and Scioto
counties in the neighborhood where
Skidmore was murdered, and it is claim.
ed that enough evidence has been dis.
covered to establish the innocence of
Smith. A series of accurate measure
ments and surveys have been made of
distances between points mentioned in
the testimony, and this it is claimed will
enable them to establish an alibi for the
sentenced man. So much suspicion has
been cast upon the evidence upon which
Smith was convicted that he may yet
escape,

How to Deal With Trusts.

One of the features of the recent panic
in Wall street was the sharp decline in
sugar trust certificates. This was largely
the result, of course, of the legal en-
tanglements in which the trust and the
companies composing it are involved.
The appointment of receivers to take
charge of the property of the trust
naturally makes the value of its certifi-
Gates and the future of the trust itself
problematical. The combination was a
powerful and oppressive one, and its
profits were enormous for time, but
the law has pretty effectually broken it
up, and the outlook is not all reassuring
to those who have investments repre-.
sented by trust securities. The example
set has been good one for the proper
prosecuting authorities to follow in all
parts of the country. Every trust,
especially the great and notorious ones,
ought to be attacked in the courts az the
sugar trust has been, persistently, ener.
getically and relentlessly. By the right
sort of legal action every trust in the
United States could be so embarrassed
and injured that it would be virtually
broken up and rendered comparatively
powerless for evil. The authority exists
in plenty, and all that is needed is the
proper vigor in action on the part Of the
officials whnss duty it i to enforce the
ClvsIand Lsadw.
