few years was supposed to be incura-
BILE. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and pre-
sCribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and, therefore, re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

only constitutional cure on the market.

THE farmers petitions, memorials,
resolutions and demands are becoming
bores to the General Assembly. Every
day or two document comes In that
takes the reading clerk about half an
hour to read. The prevailing sentiment
among the political farmers at present
seems 10 be that legislative act will
cure everything from peach yellows to
the measles. That is erroneous. Legis-
lation must take the broadest ecope pos
sIble and apply itself to the interests Of
the whole people. Glass legislation is
nsarly always wrong. We have had too
much OF that from Washington. But
that cannot be corrected or even palliated
by other wrongs Il is seldom that the
state can do a favor to one class without
injuring all other classes, hence there
should be no classes in the estimation Of
legislator whose duty is to the com
mon wealth.

In the excellent advice and cain fsa
soning Of Bishop Coleman's interview In
yesterdays EVENING JOURNAL. there
lie little to contend against except that he
regards the matter Of divorce from a
distinctly churchly standpoint, rather
than from a humane and actual stand
point.
After expressing sympathy for those
who suffer from wrong on either side. the
bishop offers no other relief than that
they should grin ami bear it, because no
matter how foolishly, how innocently
they may have contracted marriage, no
matter how much evil results from
union. that is not union. they shall not
be divorced because they have promised
70 take each other for better or for
worse The bishop says;
And while Il is extremely sad to have
such sufferings enforced on innocent
parties, yet II Il were more generally
understood, that but for the one cause
already allowed, divorces would not be
granted. people would be much more
careful about entering into the married
state.
That may be religion, but it is not jus.
tlce Innocent people should not suffer
Whatever contract is made by man can
be annulled by man There is no situa
ton in life, brought about by man,
which cannot be relieved by the same
agency Whatever the law does the law
also can undo.
The contention Of the EVENING jour
NAL is that the state must take things
as they are, not as they might be; that
the state is partly responsible for i'm
proper marriages; that the church is not
always careful or blameless, hence,
neither church nor state should say "a
innocent aud wronged people ''you have
made your bed; you must lie thereon
Such declaration is neither in the in

THE dangerous and vicious fsllacy of

trated and condemned by statement of
Senator Cameron in his argument fol- the
ship subsidy steal He stated that 1.-THE
Red Star Line had been doing business
at a loss" That statement won his case
with the Republican statesmen. There
can be no inquiry why the business Is
done at loss 10 ascertain If II IS tae
fault Of the people, Of the government,
Of the existing laws against the ship
ping industry, of the incompetence Of the
owners, or last but not least,
whether the statement itself is true
Those things must be taken on faith.
The people must put their hands
their pocke and not only make up
the loss to Senator Cameron's rich
clients, but add profit also. Who will
make up the loss TO the farmer and to
the laborer from whose corn and cotton
and from whose wages part of the tax

must comeg That is another matter.
