A Few Facts.

A remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in a large percentage OF
them. And in cases too FAR gone
for cure, it affords relief and often
prolongs life. Many who have
been given over by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment Of Drs. Starkey
& Palen, Of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to it's curative
powers. 1t has been successful in
curing many cases Of catarrh, ma
larial fever, hay fever, asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration, and other chronic diseases.
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have giyen to this class Of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine COM
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious.
Avoid limitations.

wonderful remedy, send for our

1900 LIVES LOST.
Appalling Details of
the Great Storm.
Photographed to the State. ]

New ORLEANS, Oct, 5.-Nearly
two thousand persons killed and
five millions of property destroyed
as the result Of the great storm two
days ago in Louisiana.
More than half the population in
the region over which the hurri-
cane swept is dead. Probably one
house in ten is standing and the
surviving population is left in a
destitute condition, without food.
Most of them have no clothes for
they were asleep when the houses
were crushed by the wind and
waves.
1t is known tkat the death list is
already above 1900 and only a
part of the devastated country is
heard from. There is no one but
who has terrible story to tell, and
every one is badly bruised. They
escaped mainly on drifts, RATS, and
logs, floating from 20 to 40 hours
in water at 115 miles an hour.
Some fifteen small vessels are
missing, and are supposed to be
lost. The entire gulf coast Of Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana west of At
chafalaya is strewn with wreckage
NEW ORLEANS, October 5.-The
first definet news from the Missis

The financial loss along the coas

Probably the worst damage an

Campaign Methods Contrasted.

1t is very fortunate that the means
adopted by the two parties in the con-
duct of the campaign should have con-
formed to their respective ends. The
aim of the Democratic party was to
benefit the whole people of the country
oy relieving industry of hampering bur-
dens, but this aim appealed to the whole
people, and no one class had a special
interest In 1t such as could be made the
basis OF an appeal for money to carry on
the campaign. There were of course
the usual and inevitable ambitions of
office seekers, but these We're engaged in
local conflicts, and left little to spare
for the exigencies of the general canvass.
On the other hand, the Republican
contention in behalf of the hampering
OF all traffic and industry for the en-
rlchment of few favored persons made
Il campaign of corruption absolutely in
evltable. The managers had no diff
Guilty in making out a list of the men
whose interest it was to supply them
with money in quantities large enough
to stile the popular protest against the
methods by which that money had been
acquired. The newspaper owned and
edited by the Republican candidate for
the vice presidency saved them all
trouble beforehand by compiling list
OF such persons, list of which the pur-
pose was so evident that it became
known at once as the Fat Friers'
Guide"
1t was because these men had private
interests dependent upon legislation and
opposed to the public interest that they
were expected to contribute largely to
the fund of their party.
OF course this situation made inevi-
liable a campaign of corruption. While
the Democratic managers could not have
carried on such a campaign if they
would, the Republican managers could
not have avoided it if they would.-New
York Times.

led with less labor and transported with
less cost and risk than almost any other
class of freight, the freight charges are
tacitly and apparently solidly agreed
upon by all of the coal-carrying roads,
nearly double the rate for wheat or cot
ton. This excess over just and reason
able rates of transportation constitutes
an available fund by which railroads
are enabled to crush out the competition
of Independent coal producers, using for
that purpose their own mines for those
owned by affiliated companies.
The committee is not prepared to
give an an opinion as to the liability of
the roads investigated to punishment
under the provisions of the antitrust
law, but feels justified in saying that the
facts disclosed merits the fullest consid-
Grafton of the law officers Of the govern
ment.
Six Recommendations.
The amendments to the interstate
commerce law which this committee re-
commences are as follows:
First, exempt from prosecution par
ties called as witnesses, so that when
called to testify they cannot be excused
on the ground that they might incrim-
nate themselves; second, provide for the
indictment and punishment of railroad
corporations who violate the law; third,
make it an offense punishable by law for
witnesses to refuse to testify; fourth,
provide that testimony before the inter-
state commerce commission be taken in
writing and be preserved as part of the
records; fifth, provide that when action
of the commission is brought into court
for review the same shall be tried on
the evidence adduced before the COM
mission, except when the parties could
not have reasonably anticipated the ma
terality of any proposed new evidence;
sixth, amend the act so as to define the
meaning of the word cline" in the long
and short haul clause by providing that
when connecting lines by any arrange
ment transport freight for long distance
at named rate, no less number of lines
shall transport the same freight for a
short distance at greater rate"
These changes, the committee believes,
would haye tendency to weaken the
injurious effect of the existing monopoly,
and that in time private enterprise
might possibly be built up again.

Tariff Reform That Is within Reach.

1t has been suggested that an extra
session of the Fifty-third congress should
be summoned on the 4th of March next,
in order to inaugurate with as little de-
lay as possible the economic reforms de-
manded by the people in the elections of
Tuesday. There are substantial reasons
why a new congress should meet on the
4th of March following its election, in
stead of waiting for more than year to
carry out the mandate of the country.
But let the existing senate, on the
meeting of congress next month, take
up and pass the neglected tariff reform
bills of the house that are now lying in
its finance committee. These measures
among the rest the bill to make wool
free and to reduce the duties on woolens
and to restore the old duty on tin plate
would, If passed, go far toward satisfy
ing the wishes of the country until the
new congress could enact more COM
prehensive measure of tariff reform.
Had the senate been capable of COM
pretending the meaning of the popular
verdict OF 1890, its Republican majority
would have promptly seized the oppor-
tunity to remove the most glaring iniqui-
ties of the Mckinley tariff. But instead
of giving the least consideration to the
house tariff bills, the senate slowed them
away as passed in the pigeonholes of its
committee on finance. This indecent
disregard of the will of the people, as
expressed by their representatives, has
been terribly avenged upon the Repub-
lican party in the elections of 1899.
Though utterly deaf to the voice of
1890, it is hardly possible that the Re-
publican senate will prove callous to a
second rebuke, compared with which
the former was but as gentle whisper
of admonition. In the few brief months
that remain of their power the Repub-
licans in the senate could do much TO
rehabilitate themselves and their party
with the people by passing the house
tariff bills. Will they have the courage
