MIXED.

The Richmond CLIMAX does The Rec
ord the honor Of Reproducing several Of
It's editorial paragraphs in last issue but
was a little careless in crediting two OF
them 10 a neighboring contemporary.
We do not like to get our friends in
trouble. One Of these paragraphs has
provoked a controversy, and it may be
that the journal that is credited with il
viii be called out" for an explanation
This would be a little awkward for all
c0ncerned.-L0ncast Record.
The editor of the Record should not
have built his paper to look so strikinglv
like the other paper, and then We
would not have gotten them confused.
As to the other paper being "called out, -
that is a matter entirely with the "Other
paper" and doesn't seem TO concern
either THE CLIMAX OF the Record.

REFORM IT ITEM By ITEM.

Senator Vest wisely suggests that the
way to reform the tariff while the Senate
j. Republican is for the Democratic House
O. pass bills dealing each with a single
item. in one bill, he suggests, the duty
ON salt may he reduced; In another the
duty on lumber; in a third the duty on
pearl buttons or binder Irvine The
trusts in linseed oil, lead, sugar, DC, can
DE thus beaten in detail, the unpopularity
oi the trusts record being used as a stick
with which % bastinad0 recalcitrant Sen
at0rs into voting for reform. Who could
vote against proposition to give the poor
man low prices on his necessary clothing,
from the skin out? Such a proposal, if
carried, would reduce the price Of under
shirts, drawers, socks, ties, buttons, thread,
suspendcrs, coats, trousers, vests and hats.
Il would be a general blessing.

NOT WORTH A DAM.

Not Worth a Dam" is an expressian
with, TO people who DO not know it,
real meaning-and there are few who
dds very shocking a dam Is a small
brass coin, which is current in the coun-
tries of Persia and India, and is equal to
one-fortieth OF a rupee, or about one
cent, OF our money. The phrase mot
worth a dam was used by Englishmen
in the East TO express their sense Of an
articles worthlessness.
Owing to the ignorance Of its origin and
meaning 1t has been badly misconstued,
and has finally come, by most people, to
mean an photographed PROCLAMATION, OF
curse, and to signify a thing Of so small
value rs not 10 he worth the waste OF
breath used in damning it. This, how
ever, Is entirely the wrong meaning OF
the sentence. Louisville Times.

ARE THEY MAKING THE LAW ODIOUs ,

A few days ago an effort was made to
prevent the transmission of a Western
newspaper through the mails because it
contained a reference to a rattle at a
church fair, on the ground that the publ
cation was a violation Of the lottery law
recently passed by Congress. Yesterday
Postmaster Denning, of Augusta, Ga, re-
fused to allow the Augusta Chroicle TO be
mailed to subscribers because in an article
on the races Of the Augusta Jockey Club
it stated that ''pools are sold every night"
at a certain place. The POstmaster-Gen-
erals attention was at once called to the
matter and hepromptly telegraphed Post
master Denning that ''the publication Of
the result Of horse races or pool selling in
connection with horse races does not
/ come within the provisions of the lottery
act, and therefore does not render news
paper unavailable. 1t would seem that it
ought not 10 require any message from
| Washington or anywhere else to make
such proposition obvious to even the
most stupid Of pOstmasters. The lottery
law was intended to suppress lotteries,
not newspapers, but many of the subOr-
dinate officials of the Postoffice Depart
ment appear to imagine that its design
was to establish a censorship Ofthe press,
and to lodge in their hands the power of
deciding whether such and such publica-
tons are detrimental to public morality.
Absurd applications Of the law to cases 1t
was never aimed at will simply make it
| odious and Intellectual. Whether this is
so OF not, Postmasters should be governed
by common sense in their enforcement
Of It's provisions, and should constantly
bear in mind the fact that this is a free
country with a free press, and that the
tyranical methods and narrow interpreta-
tons which might suit a Russian censor
are not applicable TO this country.

WHERE ARE THE TIN-PLATE FACTO-
RIES?

Now that the election is over we hear
no more Of the tin-plate factory that was
so industriously popping up here and
there all over the country a few weeks
ago. Instead Of diffusing innumerable
blessings everywhere It is now nowhere.
Nobody can afford to 90 into the tin-plate
making business with the new duty Of
four cents a pound on pig tin. That was
well understood before the election. The
story Of new factories was circulated
merely TO cOunteract, If possible, the
damage the Mckinley tariff on tin-plate
was known 10 be doing the protectionist
cause, but il was Intellectual. 1t is not
improbable that this odious feature ofthe
law will be repealed within the next two
years. Everybody is now sick Of it, ex-
cept the Pittsburg men that had it in
serted

500 REWARD, 500.

The readers of the CLIMAX will
be pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that science
has been able 10 cure and in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Caarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying founda-
ton Of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have 50 much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer. One
hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

The Big Corporation Goes On as II
Nothing Had Happened.

.NRw YoRx, July 19--The Western Union teie-
graph Is today proving that great corporations
possess great energy and enterprise. The
building at the corner Of Broadway and Dey
street presents the appeance Of bee hive.
A small army Of workmen was engaged in re-
pairing the damage done yesterday. Never
before has the Western Union Company
been confronted by such q condition, not
one Of the 1000 wires running into
the building could be used. Their experience
with the blizzard was bad enough: but nothing
to compare with yesterday. Then it was sim
ply y question of repairing outside
lines The most important points Of
the systom--switch board. instru-
ments and power-were not affected.
The fire simly wiped these out OF existence.
Before the fire was out the immense energy Of
the corporation began to assert itself. Offices
were established all about the city. The great
syste m worked without central point.
What measures were taken yesterday to re-
lieve the situation at that time are already
known. But with the going down of the sun
these efforts did not and the ceaseless energy
kept men making almost superhuman efforts to
restore affairs to their former shape.
all through the night force Of men were busy
cleaning the water and debris from the build
ing. A force OF fifty linemen went up and down
the poles and fitted about the streets with lam
terms like 70 many steel-spurred fire flies.
