Never in the history of our country, have
We seen its commercial interests more heart
liz united in favor of any movement. than
for the building of the Nicaragua canal
under United States auspices. The propo-
sition is not for free canal of United
States government construction, but canal
whose toll rates shall not be burdensome, and
whose inestimable advantages shall be for
desirable conditisn of affairs can readily
be brought about if the govern
mens will guarantee the bonds of the canal
company thereby making it possible to float
them at low rate of interest. The en-
hghtcnad and progressive business in
teses,s of the country see clear
iy the Importance of such action on
the par, of our government and the perma-
uent benefits that would result from it. 1t
is 10 be hoped that Congress may be
equally far sighted. Senator Frye
of this State is one of the most jealous ad-
vocates of government aid to the Nicaragua
canal. and has already urged the importance
of such action upon the United States
Senate in \ speech of mastery eloquance
AMI power. No proposition has come be-
fore Congress for many wears so vitality
affecting the future welfare and prosperity
of our country. We certainly hope that
partisan politics may not enter into its con-
siieration, but that it may be dealt with in
a broad and statesmanlike manner.

Worlds Columbian Exposition

The board of lady managers of the Col
umbian Worlds Fair has issued instructions
to the various state boards of lady man
ayers, requesting that the committees in
each state classify their statistics in an ap-
proximately uniform mapner. For this
purpose the following scheme has been de-
vsed. which it is hoped will be followed,
and which is published for the general bene
ct of members of our State committee and
intending exhibitors
LIST. Statistics in regard to women in
their connection with the industries and
professions. This will include those in
domestic service, factories, stores, schools,
journalism. independent businesses, etc.
ID. Statistics in regard to the associated
effort of women. (This will include liter
airy clubs, religious societies, church socie
ties, reform associations, etc.)
Sd. Statistics in regard to the work of
women in philanthropy, reform, and in
public service. This will include homes,
asylums, reformatories, ETC., founded by
women; prisons, ETC., administered by
women.)
18th. The status of women under the
laws of the State. (This will include the
political status of women.
5th. Concise statistical statement of not
able things done by women. This would
inclnde deeds of heroism, requests, scienti-
f. or historical collections, unusual posi-
tons held by appointment. achievements etc
9Th. Population, male and female: Grim
inal population, pauper population, defec-
tive population. (The last three, give both
male and female.)
These statistics should be in the form of
charts mounted in winged frames, in order
to he easily inspected, and also to occupy
as little space as possible.
In addition to the charts already named,
it is recommended that brief but compre-
hensive monograph accompany each state
exhibi, of statistics, which would embody
in convenient form the salient points ana
the conclusions legitimately deduced from
the statistics.
pur foreign committees of women are
preparing statistics in a comprehensive and
extremely interesting manner. In the more
progressive countries of Europe this line of
work has attained a high degree of perfec-
ton; their long experience enabling them
to Adopt effective methods.
1t is hoped that every state and territory
in the United States will send to the board
of lady managers statistics that will not
only reflect credit upon the intelligence and
energy of American women, but will elicit
from these recorded facts some broad prin-
ciplts, which will encourage women every
where. and also lead men to recognize the
importance of women as factors in indus
trial and social effort.

About the middle of last November, John

rived in Belfast on coasting vessel. He
was about 90 years of age, intelligent and
well educated, having left crack military
school in North Carolina, when boy in or
der to experience the romance of going to
sea. He had in SO doing, contracted a Sc
we're and intractable form of rheumatism
from which he had suffered intensely for
nearly six months, large part Of which
time he had passed in hospital One of his
feet was so swollen and disfgured that he
supposed he would never again be able to
wear boot upon it. Stating his case to Mr..
X. II. Moody. a leading druggist, he asked
if he could recommend to him any good pa
tent medicine, the doctors having failed to
do him any good. Mr.. Moody sold him a
bottle of Rodolf's New Medical Discovery.
Mr.. White, in writing to his mother. Nov.
30th, announced the result as follows:
Ii was the most miraculous cure on rec
ord. Just think. was instantly relieved
ON taking only two doses. l suppose it was
near six O'Clock in the evening when went
to one Of the parties. took dose then.
and one before retiring; and you may not
believe me, but wheo I awoke the next
morning, it seemed that had forgotten
something. The pain was completely gone !;
and since then have been fast recovering,
and at present am completely cured, and
have only taken one bottle.
Mr.. Moody, early in December, received
the following letter from AIr. Whites
