DEAR SIR:-For seve-
raj years my wife has suffered from
erysipelas, every two weeks she
was confined to her bed and tried
many remedies, but nothing pre-
vented the eruption. She was dis
couraged and finally stopped all
medicines and began drinking your
I,ithia Water. In two weeks the
disease was milder than it had
been for years. She continued to
use and since that time she has
not been troubled at all.
Very Respectfully,

Eyes raised towards heaven are
always beautiful, whateyertheybe.

There is more catarrh in this sec.
ton Of the country than all other
diseasesput together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For q great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis.
ease and prescribed local remedies
and by constantly falling to euro
with local treatment, pronounced
1t incurable. Science has proven
Catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halps Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by II. j. Che
ney e. Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on The market.
1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly upon tho blood and
mucous surfaces OF tho system.
They offer n hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for

that have accumulated during
the thirty-eight (38) years of
constant use of the waters of Your

the Lithia Spring are odorless and

contain cloride sodium, carbonate

TIN PLATE.

Mr.. Swank has been investigating the
manufacture of tin plates in this country,
and he gives in the Bulletin of the Amer
lean Iron and Steel Association a list of
twenty such factories already either max
ing tin plate or erecting the necessary
plant. But even these figures are by no
means complete, as new mills are pro-
jected every week. There has already
been tremendous reduction. in the i'm
portation of tin plates, and in a few years,
instead of sending $30,O00,OO0 out of the
country, every dollar of that sum will be
kept at home and tin plates sold cheaper
than ever before.
Instead of sending over $50, 700 a
year to Europe to pay for rails, this coun-
try is not now sending one dollar abroad
for that purpose. and steel rails are selling
at one-fitth the price then charged. A
similar result Will be brought about much
quicker with tin plates.

THE MORALS OF TRADE.

The state senate of Pennsylvania is in

ferred by the governor, that the auditor
general and cashier of the state treasury
received large sums of public money in
consideration OF allowing City Treasurer
John Bardsley, of Philadelphia TO retain
tax receipts which were overdue the state,
and that these two state officers and the
state treasurer deliberately violated the
law to help John Bardsley to retain and
withhold from the state some of the enor-
nous sums which he embezzled.

Pattison. 81, 7s6,37S belonging to the state

The comptroller of the currency will strongly
urge upon the next congress the need of lezisla-
ton holding bank directors, on penalty OF Sc
we're punishments, to a more rigid aceounta-
bility in relation to the affairs they supposed
TO direct He 10 moved to this by the fact, as he
states, that large percentage of the banks that
have recently been closed might have avoided
that result had the directors done their full
duty; and by the further fact that the decision
OF the United States supreme court in the case
OF the First National bank of Buffalo last May
practically released directors, under the bank
ing laws as they stand, from any liability to the
performance OF duties supposedly attaching to
their Office. Comptroller Lacey says that, as
rule, bank directors do not direct the affairs of
their banks as they should. The whole man
agement and direction is more often thrown
upon the cashier or one or two head officials,
and thereafter the directors know no more
about, or concern themselves no more about, the
affairs of the institution than an outsider.
Ihey hear reports of the condition of affairs
once in 50 often, but their knowledge generally
does not extend beyond what the cashier or the
other active official chooses to tell them.

morals of business seem to have furnished
the corrupt standard of official integrity
for these impeached public servants of
Pennsylvania. At Q recent meeting of the
Adams Express Company its president,
John Hoey, and Its vice president. Clapp
spooner, were removed by vote of the
directors.
Mr.. Hoey and Mr.. Spooner were en-
gagged with two other men, formerly direc-
tors, in buying three New England express
companies for the Adams Express Com
pany. As individuals, they bought the
express companies for from $4,000 to
$3.50, 900, accounts differing as to the price.
As representatives of the Adams Express
Company, they bought the companies of
themselves as individuals for $s50,0O0
In other words these officers of the COM
pany robbed it of over 100000. The
wrong committed by Hoey is done every
day by officers of corporations and it is
the liberation of this kind of morals of
trade that corrupts business honor on all
sides and produces crop of official frauds
of which the Pennsylvania scandal is the
most recent illustration. The burglar
who yields the Jimmy. the epileptio
anarchist, property can better afford to
despise than the bank officer who evils
cerates his trust, or the president and
directors of corporation who steal it
poor and then contemptuously fling its
plundered body out of the window for its
robbed friends to make ready for burial.
