1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, cam
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
lions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and DEATH Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.

There is a great deal of envy,
hatred, and uncharitableness in this
world, proceeding from the assump-
ton that the distribution of the gifts
of fortune is very unequal. And yet
it wants but a slight experience in
life to convince any thoughtful and
observant man that this inequality is
more apparent than real. This idea
is nothing less than a delusion-that
wealth or rank or power is a neces-
sary adjunct to happiness. There
are millionaires who take less enjoy |
ment out of life than a good many
day laborers, and there are noble
men and princes who succeed merely |
to heritage of splendid misery.

came to his eyes, as he pillowed his |
head on the desk, when the thoughts |
which had refused to rise, came in |

tesque. And as fresh sideas airily |
float, he selected the brighter one of |

DEAR BRoTHERssInt transmitting blank
forms for your May reports as to
acreage Of farm products, feel that l
can not too earnestly impress upon you
and the fraternity the fact that hitherto
spoculatora and stock exchanges have so
manipulated the reports OF both Federal
and State agricultural statlstlclans aS TO
make them false, and instruments sub
servient to their own selfish gain, and
have thus been enabled TO sell and realize
immense profits on our crops even before
planting or maturity. By such undue
advantages, milllonaires have become
common, whilst the farmers, robbed Of
their just prices, have grown poorer and
poorer yearly, their farms becoming so
heavily mortgaged as to soon pass from
their possession. Thus farm products
are fast becoming appropriated by the
operations Of spectators, and unless this
tendency shall be checked, che next gem

conditions Il Is evident that In full de-
velopment Of our strength and fearless
enforcement Of those true and patriotic

Talks Freely to the Representatives Of
Washington Newspaper.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 90 Capt. James
Carroll, of Sitka, Alaska, is in the city.
Capt, Carroll was chosen by the Ssrritc-
rial convention held at Juneau in Octo-
ber last to represent the territory as d
delegate in congress, provided that
body should see fit to grant it the right
Of representation. The captain talked
freely with reporter of The Post con-
ceIning matters in the territory
The country, he said, undoubtedly
me- ded a representative in congress, but
if that body denied it to the people
there were other things which it should
grant as matter of simple justice to
relieve the people of grievances which
were fast growing intolerable. These
grievances he detailed at some length.
He said all the congressman with whom
he had talked seemed very favorable to
granting the requests in the memorial.
lie also spoke of a proposition he was
willing to make on the part of solid citi-
Zens OF that territory If congress did not
think Alaska of enough Importance to
give IL system of Jurisprudence and all
the facilities and rights it had guar
anteed every other outlying settlement
Of the government. He was empowered
to offer the sum Of $14,000000 for tie
territory, and would pay it over in SEQ
gold pieces on the shortest sort Of notice.
This was $1,000, 900 more than it cost,
not to speak Of the big yearly profits
the government had taken for sealing
privileges, The offer, he said, was
bona fide, and he was sure If those MAX
ing the offer had complete ownership,
whatever flag was raised they could Sc
cure the people the blessing Of popular
government unhampered by the annoy
ing defects Of the present system, which
worked uselcHs hardslips and clogged

Hundred Lives Lost.

On the Yang-tse-Kiang River--Over TwC
Hundred Lives Lost.
LONDON, Dec. 30. Particulars from
China as to the destruction by fire Of
the steamer Shanghai near Woo Hoo,
in the province of Nganwhi, about fifty
miles from Nanking, show the loss OF
life to have been much greater than
was at first supposed. First reports rep
resented that the crew, which consisted
of several European officers and about
sixty native deck hands, were supposed
to have been either burned to death or
drowned while endeavoring to escape
Ehe flames. It now appears that over
200 human beings lost their lives, and
that they were all drowned.
Panic seized upon the Chinese pas
sengers and the crew the moment the
fire alarm was sounded, and became
terrible as soon as it was seen that the
fire was beyond control.
The European officers seem to have
kept their heads and exerted their ut
most to restrain the totally delnoralized
Mongols SOME of the boats were
lowered, but were at once overcrowded
by the Chinese mob, and sank with all
on board
There is faint hope that later in
vestigation may show the catastrophe
to be less serious than appears from the
latest China news.
Another steamer ON Fire.
A dispatch from Calcutta Monday
night said;
Information has been received here to
the effect that the British steamer Col
conda, from London, Nov. 6, is ON fire
at Diamond harbor, in the Hoogly river,
thirty-four miles below this city. Every
possible assistance is being sent to her
and it is hoped that the vessel may be
saved. 1t is understood that the fire
originated among the cargo, which is
thought to be considerably damaged.
The Golconda is of 3,961 tons burden.

The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad has
also bought large tracks of mineral and

railroad people have purchased $4,000
acres of mineral and timber lands from
ex-senator J. N. Camden, of this city.
The syndicate representing Senator

HOLIDAYS IN CONGRESS.

Plain to he Seen That Rest is Being
Taken.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 29-The adjourn
ment of the house Friday until Thurs
day next, after brief session OF half an
hour, shows that nothing will be done
until after the holidays. There were but
few members present, indicating plainly
that quorum is not in the city.
In the senate the Federal elections de-
bate will be resumed, and continued un-
til Wednesday. when another break for
New Years will use up the time until
the Monday following.
Views Of a Republican Senator.
A Republican senator said Friday:
"We will go on talking about the bill
next week, and many speeches will be
delivered to vacant seats and empty
galleries. We can't help it, you see,
for the proceedings the other night
when Mr.. Hoar tried TO drive the Dem
ocrats into a night session was proof
conclusive that we could not muster in
force during the holiday season. But I
believe that about Jan. we shall have
a fi2hting quorum, and then you may
look for diversion.
The senator was asked if majority
could he secured for the cloture resolu-
tion. He replied that Senator Aldrich
who had it in charge, had been instruct
ed to canvass the Republican side of the
senate before putting in the new rule
Senator Aldrich was a cool-headed,
shrewd man, and it was hardly to be
presumed that he would enter into a
great struggle, as this promised to be-
without some sort of assurance of suffi-
cient power behind him to win the
Viptorv
