There is little doubt that Mr.. Crisp on
his recent visit to Washington was in
formed by Secretary Carlisle of the
Administrations wishes in regard to the
chairmanships of several important COM
mittees, notably those on coinage and
banking and currency. Indeed that is
understood to have been the reason for
inviting him to Washington at this time.
A year ago Crisp was inclined to object
to Mr.. Clevelands dictation but it is I'M
derstood that lately he has received new
light and is now ready to obey the ad-
ministration's orders.

The German Emperor tells the Reich
stag that the relations Of the empire
with other nations are thoroughly
friendly and free from all clouds, yet the
purpose for which the Reichstag is
called together is to impose new taxes
on people already overburdened, in
order that the army may be increased.
Evidently the war lord' believes thor
oughly in the maxim in time of peace
prepare for war.

The suggestion that the Sherman law
be suspended at the special session and
that the question of repeal be laid over
until the regular session was not origin
ated by any Republican or Republican
newspaper, but by Congressman Wheel
er, thoroughbred Democrat. So when
E. ]. S. pitches into it in the
Argus and stigmatizes it as an attempt
on the part of the Republicans to "play
politics." he clearly shows that he does
not know what he is talking about.
Perhaps now that he knows that it orig
mated with Democrat good South
ern Democratic may be inclined to
look upon it with more favor.

GUARANTEED
Investment POLICY
Or THE
UNION MUTUAL
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,

A $4,000 Guaranteed Investment
Policy issued at age 80 for period of
90 years would pay $4,000 at death;
or at completion of period would give
choice of the following options: Over
$1,000 cash, or $5,179.25 cash and
paid-up life policy for $4,000, or OVER
$50 PER MONTH LIFE ANNUITY, or
S415 annuity and paid.up life policy
for $4,000.
The Maine Non-F0rfciture Law ap-
plies and prevents any chance of loss
after three years and this law WORKS
AUTOMATICALLY.
The annual payments will secure
$4,000 insurance for 20 years and
then return more cash than has been
paid in
These and other commendable fea-
lures are stated in detail in the con-
tract and ABSOLUTELY GUARAN-

It will not COST YOU ANYTHING
to learn about this plan and you
should certainly do so for your own
interest before placing insurance.
The Guaranteed Investment Policy
of the Unien Mutual Life Insurance
Company is largely sought by those
who desire to combine Guaranteed
Investment features with their Life

The Union Mutual is the only Com
pany issuing this form of Policy; it's
results are absolute guarantees, aud

Gov. Altgeld must be convinced BY
this time that the pardon of the anarch-
lists was pretty poor affair even as a
political investment, and that doubtless
was the idea uppermostin the Governor s
mind when he issued it. Among those
most outspoken in its denunciation are
many members of his own party, and so
far the most conspicuous people who
have endorsed it are the avowed an
archists. such as Johann Most, and the
Central Labor Union of Chicago whose
controlling spirits are aliens and have
little sympathy with our form of govern
ment. Should Democratic convention
meet to-day in Illinois it is safe to say
that it would not nominate Altgeld.
1.-The silver question may be responsible
for much of the lack of confidence which
has made so much trouble in financial
circles. But after all we very much
doubt If the tariff question does not play
a more important part. The situation in
which this country finds itself is worth
a moments consideration, even though
the weather may be too hot for a tariff
discussion. In 1890 the tariff was re-
vised. 1t matters not what the various
theories may have been in regard to this
revision. The facts were that under it's
operation the country was more prosper
GUS than ever before, that our foreign
trade was not injured, that wages showed
no sign of stopping that general gradual
advance which has been going on for a
long period, and that the cost of living
did not advance after the first temporary
furry incident to the going into operation
Of the law. Into the midst of this pros
perity is injected a Presidential cleo
ton that brings into power a party
pledged BY its platform to sweep away
every yestige of the tariff policy that has
bean In operation for more than thirty
years Why should not such an event
have distressing eject upon business?
What business demands is stability, per-
manenos, the assurance that the condi,
lions of today are to continue tomorrow.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitunal reme-
dies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lin.
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness Is
the result; and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,

Spoueing with cold water and brisk
rubbing afterwards is desirable. Plunges,
showers or other shocks are most unde-
sirable. Indigestion generally accom-
p.nies nervous depression, therefore
such tonics as aid the appetite,
and assimilation may be used; an
excellent one is the citrate
of quinine and iron, one dram, dissolved
in half pint of water, and dessert
spoonful taken previous to each meal.
For special forms of nervousness many
remedies are used such as the stronger
preparations of iron, the bromide of po-
tassium, valerian with ammonia, or the
application of electricity. These. when
skillfully administered, are doubtless
useful, but recourse to suoh powerful
means should never be had except under
medical advice. Change, exercise, fresh
air, diet or tonics will not cure nervous
ness derived from "a mind deceased" or
one who gives way to depression. The
nervousness must. as far as possible, be
disregarded and defed, and the mind
prevented from constantly brooding ON

tie had no sooner dispatched them when
the mother came rushing out of the brush
near by. So sudden ana unexpected
was the old bears appearance that young
Mabie did not have time to get his rifle
IN readiness to fire. Luckily he had
fierce dog with him. who promptly came
to his masters rescue just as the bear was
about to clasp young Leland and hug
him to death. The bear and the dog
had it for time, while the young hunter
stood by and viewed the encounter.
Finally the effect of the dogs teeth on
the launches of the bear had the de-
sired effect and she left the field to the
boy and the dog. Young Mabie took
one of the cubs, which weighed about
seventy five pounds, back with him to
camp, where he was the hero of the day.

CHA RUSSIAN RAILROAD.
Third-Class Carriages are More Than
Uncomfortable,

Inlr0-Class Carriages are More Than
Uncomfortable.
Mr.. Stevens, in his journey through
Russia, made up his mind to travel one
stage in q third-class railway carriage.
This plan would give him information
that might be useful and would also save
him little money. which he could
turn over to Count Tolstoi for the starv-
ing peasants. He found the experiment
extremely unsatisfactory. He says:
"The third class carriages were so
densely packed that there was hardly
room for me, bnt after much scrambling
l secured seat near the door.
II shall never forget that journey. 1t
was an awful experience. I felt as if l
were being frozen to death and roasted
alive alternately. Outside the cars tho
temperature was 35 degrees below zero.
Inside the mercury stood at II, differ
ence Of 112 degrees Fahrenheit.
"lnside it was so hot that even the
muzhiks, who are so fond of roasting
themselves, gave signs of discomfort.
The heat came from large iron stove,
which the attendant kept feeding with
birch firewood. As for myself, was
melted; the perspiration poured out of
every pour of my skin.
my unfortunate fellow travellers gave
vent to their feelings in groans or ejacu-
lations.
"Now and then the door was opened
by new arrival, and instantly the car.
riagc would be filled with an intensely
cold air.
''Hi, you there! the muzhiks would
call out; shut the door! You are a.
freezing us to death.'
"A curious phenomenon sometimes
occurred on such occasions. The cold
gusts which forced themselves in when
the door was opened Immediately con-
densed and chrystallized the vapor, so
that we had a miniature shower Of snow
in the carriage
"A few of the passengers appeared
really to enjoy this alternative freezing
and roasting. They crowded about the
stove. One, tall, sturdy soldier, carry
ing sword of tremendous size, crept so
close to the stove that the escaping gases
made him fall down in an unconscious
state, from which he was aroused with
difficulty. He was wearing his military
overcoat.
"At the first stoppage l bought new
ticket and went into second class car
rage. '-[London Chronicle.
