A POLITICAL QUESTION.

The republican press is making a
vigorous effort all along the line to con-
vince workingmen that the unfortunate
Homestead occurrence is not question
of politics. 1t is question of politics.
The managers of the Carnegie company
have demonstrated their ability to get a
sufficient number of men to protect
their works, and this victory makes it
all the more difficult to brush the Incl
dent aside as no longer a feature of the
political campaign. The episode has
made it evident that the managers of
these great manufacturing establish
ments, while ready to express verbal
sentiments of regard for workingmen
generally and those in their employ in
particular, and while always DESTROYS
that these men should vote for system
of protection which they, the managers,
have planned for their own interests,
are anything but willing to leave the
matter of the division of the alleged
profits of protection as a subject in
which their employees have joint con-
Germ. The sentiment about the un-
selfish wish of the manufacturers to pay
the highest possible wages, which is the
cant of protection, has received a pretty
effectual setback through the disturb.
ances of which Homestead has been the
scene.

The American Disease.

Nervous exhaustion is the besettina
illness of very large per cent of the
people of the United States, fact to
which our leading physicists are pay
ing much attention just now. OF late
years we hear much about this disorder.
It is more prevalent in the United
States than elsewhere. Indeed, says a
writer in Youths Companion, Beard
about twenty-five years ago called 1t
the american disease" It Is not only
a product of civilization, but Of civiliza-
ton run mad-crazed by its everlasting
rush. DIR. Edward Cowles, chief OF the
Mclean asylum, Somerville, Mass, and
DR.. George F. Jelly, formerly Of the
same institution, have brought their
large experience and signal ability to
bear on the study Of this disease.
All intelligent persons are familiar
with the fact that the body is in a per
petual state of assimilation and enmi-
nation-nutrition and waste. The two
processes balance each other In q
healthy and normal physical condition
Unless the waste product is regularly
carried off, the system is poisoned by
its accumulation. 1t is this self
poisoning which brings on the fatal re-
suit in Bright's desease and diabetes
The ultimate nutrients of the body
whether of the muscles, membranes
nerve or cerebral substance, are
the cells. These cells select the
appropriate nourishment from the
blood, assimilate it, and throw
off the debris-the poisonous waste,
always fatal if unduly retained.
Now no other organ is SO con
stantly in action as the nervous
system. 1t is never fully at rest, day
or night. The cells of every tissue mus
be kept necessarily at work. Every
thought, feeling, purpose, volition
every excitement of pleasure, pain OF
passion, all concentration of mind il
study, business or care, uses up brair
substance, and transforms it into waste
product. In normal mental action thii
waste is taken care of and duly elm
mated; but in prolonged excessive men
tai activity the waste accumulates, and
| according to DR.. Cowles, acts as 1
poison to the nerves themselves, inter
fering with their normal action. Al
early result is simple fatigue Of thu
brain, which rest may soon relieve; at ,
later stage, the overactivity being
longer continued, there is excessive ir
ritability and weakness of the nervous
system. The tendency is always towar'
grave mental disease, often merging
into insanity. Among the physica
signs are tremor of the face, tongu
and hands; but the earliest and mos
important signs are mental symptoms
melancholy and mental depression
The disease, to be easily arrest ed
| should be treated early.

ABOUT ADVERTISING.

A trade journal once requested a
number of its largest advertisers to give
their opinion concerning the best time
to stop advertising, and the following
replies were received:
when population ceases to multiply
and the generations that crowd on after
you, and never heard of you, stop COM
ing on"
"When you have convinced every
body whose life will touch yours that
you have better goods and lower prices
than they can ever get anywhere else."
"When you perceive it to be the rule
that men who never advertise are out.

line of business"
when men stop making fortunes

the discreet use of this mighty agent"
"When you can forget the words OF
the shrewdest and most successful bust

their prosperity"
"When every man has become 81

THE PROFESSORS WARD.

rh0 UnsophistiCat0d Politician and the Re.
porter.
The professor had been inveigled into
becoming a political candidate, for it
was known that he had written several
able works on THE Science of Govern
ment," THE Ethics of Politics" 1.-THE
Beatitudes Of the Ballot and other
subjects, and the faction taking him
up felt the need of some good man to
go before the convention with. The
professor was innocent of any crime,
had never seen any Doodle, was of clean
private record, and there was nothing
in his whole life that the newspapers
could find to fling mud at. So the pro-
fessor was inveigled Into the scheme
and on the day of the convention a re-
porter approached him.
'I believe" insinuated the willy re-
porter, "that your ward has instructed
for you, professors"
"Sir?" exclaimed the guileless pro-
fessor. so indignant that even the re-
porter was at loss to account for it.
81 beg your pardon" he said; II
| meant no cffense. I merely desired to
know if your ward had instructed for
you, sir.''
But the professor fired up this time
more fiercely than before.
My ward knows nothing whatever
about it, sir" he protested, vigorously.
''She is young lady who has absolute
ly nothing to do with politics, and has
never said anything to me on the sub
ject of my candidacy, sir, except to dis
suade me from entering the political
field, and sincerely hope that you will
not get her name in the papers in any
manner whatever, SIR"
By this time it dawned upon the bril-
liant and versatile reporter, and suffice
it to say that he did not fail to embrace
the golden, glorious opportunity SO
temptingly placed before him.-Detroit

FOR yICR-PRESIDENT,
ADLAI e. STEVENSON, of Illinois.

A GOOD illustration of the way law
suits can eat up the money Of. those
who take part in them is shown in the
famous Gaines case, which has just
been settled after contest lasting for
more than half a century. The claim
was for millions of dollars, but when
finally settled by the supreme court OF
the United States the city of New
Orleans, who was the defendant, was
ordered to pay the Gaines heirs $923, 7sa.
OF this amount more than two-thirds
went for lawyers fees, which aggre-

PAID FOR BEING DISCHARGED.

A Dry Goods Clerk Who Is Used for
Smoothing Down Irate Purchasers.
A new industry has just been intro
duced into Denver. In every large re-
tail establishment there is an innumer-
able number of "kiclzs'' to be regis
tered, and it keeps one man busy
smoothing down the ruff ed customers,
who often kick without reason. One
Of these managers of kiclers has hit
upon novel device by which he molli-
hes the angry. A reporter for the Sun
was sitting in his little Office the other
day, watching him pour Oil on the trou-
bled waters.
A lady came in with blood in her eve
The goods which she had purchased
were not as represented, she claimed.
'Be seated, madam" said the mana
ger, "and will try to locate the
blame"
He touched little button on his
desk and q cash boy appeared.
"Ten jackson to come here at once"
Jackson soon arrived, looking very
guilty. He was rather q handsome
young man, but was evidently agitated.
''This lady says that you told her
these goods were all silk. How came
you to make such statement, sir9'
ST thought"
"You knew better. This is the second
time you have made this misstatement,
and shall have to dispense with your
| services. Take these goods back and
draw your money and leave at once"
Jackson bowed and stammered and
made his escape.
81 don't think that was the sales
| man, ''began the lady; "the one I
| bought these of had a beard"
mo matter; jackson is responsible
for all the mistakes in that depart
ment, and I'm glad that I dismissed
him."
The lady went out, feeling very sor-
/ ry that she had caused the young man
| to lose his situation.
| She had no more than gone when
| another woman came bristling in and
said:

but want my rights"
'Be seated, madam, and I'll see what
can be done"
He touched the bell and he said to
the boy:
Tell jackson to come here at once. y
Jackson appeared, trembling as be-
fore.
"You have been selling short meas
ure in ginghams again. I've had enough
of that sort of thing. You are dis
charged"
But IL"
mot a word, sir. You are dis
charged"
The woman pleaded for him, but thu
manager was adamant-
When she had gone he turned rount
with a grim smile.

l do you really keep him here to b.
fired?"
HE has nothing else to do except Il
keep out of sight. People are Away
satisfied when they succeed in getting
a clerk discharged, and he is alread,

Strange Diet.

An eccentric old gentleman Of Los
Gatos, Cal, has originated new sys-
tenn of living which he calls the Edenic
system. He eats nothing but raw
wheat, consuming about three-quarters
of pound day. Bread, butter, sugar,
meat, eggs and milk he regards as
poisonous. He eats only when he feels
hungry, and appears to thrive on his
strange diet. At forty, he says, he was
an old man, whereas now, though sixty,
he feels young. II can get along" he
adds, ION one or two cents a day, and
do good days work. Five cents
worth of rolled oats has lasted me
twenty-four hours while travelling.
could not possibly eat more than ten
cents worth of wheat a day, so you can
see how economical my system is"
The old gentleman also has theory
about feeding horses, giving them only
one good meal a day, just before bed
time. There is some doubt about the
old gentleman's system becoming popu-
lar.

inclusive, by Herr Palisa. the chief assist
ant astronomer, and himself
Owing to the proximity of the planet to
the southern horizon, however, the result
of the observations was unsatisfactory.
The progress of the planet was watched
for an hour
At point SO degrees above the horizon
snow fields could be seen distinctly ex-
tending 80 degrees from Mars south pole.
Immediately under this patch three large,
dark groups were observable.
Perhaps" the astronomer added,
''they are continents like those of our
earth. The haze which enveloped the
lower part of Mars, however, rendered
accurate observation imp ossible. The
north pole and the equator were complete
