only positive cure known to the medi-

taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the

The Cry for Help d.

From every part of the country come
reports of destitution and OF efforts to
relieve it. Statistics are unObtiinable
at present, put nobody ventures to
doubt that more labcrers are without
work than ever before within the MEM
DRY of this generation. They ara not
idle because OF any sudden and general
loss of moral qualities. There is no
epidemic of Incidence. The fault IS not
theirs, except remotely. 1t is true that
1illions are in distress because humid
reds of thousands were deluded into be-
lieving that change of party control
would give them a larger share of the
common prosperity, or misled by an IT.
rational inclination to take the chances
of "a new deal" But very few ever
lost the honest desire to do honest work
and to live by their own toll self-res
pecting. They we're blind, but only in
rare cases wilfully so, and they have not
forfeited their claim to sympathy and
help.
We sincerely hope that movements
tor the relief of the unfortunate will not
be inspired or directed by any partisan
feeling A lesson which ought TO be
salutary and enduring is being learned,
but the situation is too distressing to be
made the subject of political dispute,
while the great work of succor demands
the cooperation of all who have hearts
to be touched and energies to be en-
listed. In this season Of kind thoughts
and acts, usually in the happy expert
ence of Americans a season Of Joy aud
gratitude, the grim spectre of want
and despair invades iunumerab!e house
holds "Wha. can DO to make the in
tolerable burden lighter2" This is the
question which every tender hear, must
ask and every yigilant conscience an
swer.

What can be done in Wisconsin. The
most sanguine temperance reformer
will doubtless acknowledge that Wis
consin gives no promise of prohibition
in the near future; the rum traffic is too
firmly established, has too many adher-
ents and too much influence through its
profits and vested interests to be blot
ted out at the present time. The slow
process of education must go on until
that preponderance of temperance SEN
timent is secured which will insure pro-
hibition; but this educational process is
made dOubly long by the unfavorable
circumstances; the whole influence of
the rum traffic must be resisted. Can
the rum power be weakened? 1t can
be, if temperance people are not too
fastidious If the rum power is weak
ened, education will be fastened and
prohibition brought nearer. How this
result may be secured will be suggested
in articles to follow. -

presents with which the tree was load

from Congress, and, as the investigation
is to be conducted behind closed doors
and nothing made public until the in
vestigation has been finished and the
recommendation of the committee
agreed upon, it is difficult to imagine
any good reason for the documents not
beng given to the committee. It is
certain that one of the democrats on
the subcommittee Senator Gray-is
familiar with those documents, and
probable that the other two-Senators
Butler and Morgan know their contents;

that Senator Morgan, chairman of the

Democratic Prayer No. Q!

Almighty, all obstinate. and nearly
all fat Cleveland, our great
political god, again we bow before thee
in humble submission and poverty,
Each day as this world which was made
for thee, is hurled through ethereal
space faster than hungry Democrat
can run for an office, we have addition

read thy message. We have lped it

powerful master, there is a free trade

in the knees of our pants, and playfully

patient woodtick and festive flea has

is all very well in the summer time, but
we would thank thee, our most adored
political father. if thou wouldst stop the
panic before the knee blasts of winter
have chance to peep into the open
windows of our pants. We know. most

They laugh US to scorn and make faces |
at US in public places. Last campaign |
we accused them of deception and " |
ing, and now they have proved by the
words of thine own mouth, most adored
master, that we have lied. 1t is written,
"Oh, that mine enemy had written q
book" bnt that's just what is the mat
ter with US. Our enemies have written
too many books And they increase
not only in knowledge. but in numbers.
The political midwives which thou hast
sent out to slsy all the new born male
babes are either hoodooed or don't ar
RYE on time. And this increase is a
sore yexation. Besides, no people in
all the world have such wonderful men,
ories. They have recorded every prom
Use we ever made. They point to the
Mckinley bill which we asserted was
the ''calumnating atrocity." remind
us of our promise to repeal it,
and exclaiEl, aha! They remind us of
our chance and call our attention to
you as you fish at Buzzard's Bay or
shoot snipe at Hog Island. They
recalled our sacred promises of better
times and then point to the shutting
down of factories and mines, the
thousands of unemployed, the low price
of wheat and cotton and cattle and hogs
and the general scarcity of money.
They sorely perplex us, and we know
not whittier to turn. Oh most excellent
and mighty master, is there no "balm
in Gileadn' Is there no place where
we can turn our face to hide our shame?
If we had an office we could stand it
without complaint We would eat our
pie and let the heather rage. We
could buy more with our salary and
would scoop in the property while it
was low. But the panic which it has
pleased thy greatness to create, has
bit US as hard SIS it has The Republicans.
Our house and vineyards are mortgaged
and our daughters are given in bond
age Our creditors dun us and we have
not the wherewith to appease their
wants. We know there is something
the matter but we don't try to know
what it is, for it would be treason to
thee and our great party. Thy ways,
oh, mighty Cleveland, are past finding
out. But we trust thee. Take us I'M
der the wing of thy protection. Do
with US as seemeth best in thy sight.
If the BANKERS need our property give
it to them. But this we ask of thee:
Deliver us from the Republicans. Issue
an edict compelling the men whom we
elected to office to take the stump and
put them to flight. In vain have we
appealed to them, but they eat their
pie and wink at each other. They
smell tie battle afar off. and they seem
to want to get farther off Bring out
the whip of thy wrath. most worshipful
master. and scourge their cowardly
legs till they can stand on a public
platform and tell the people they are
democrats, whether they can give n
reason or not. Again we ask thee to
take us under the wings Of thy care.
Help us to bear up under the panic,
encourage our political faith, and feed
our political prejudices with the daily
bread of misrepresentation. Amen.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Dec. %, 1898.
1t is no longer denied by those oc-
cupying positions which give them an
opportunity to know that Mr.. Cleveland

that some man made desperate by loss
of employment or failure in business
will attempt to kill him for revenge 1t
is because of this fear that Mr.. Cleve-
land has tried so hard of late 10 pre-

movements outside of the White House
Some weeks ago servants were sent TO
Lakewood, n, j., to put the Cleveland
cottage in order aud an invitation was
sent to Mrs. Perrine. Mrs Cleveand's
mother, to join the Cevelands there
several days before Christmas and to
spend the holiday week with them.
Somebody leaked. and The newspapers
published the proposed programme. 1t
was then abandoned, the cottage closed
and notice given that the Clevelands
would not 90 to Lakewood at all this
winter.
1t was then arranged that the Cleve.
lands should quietly steal away Christ
mas night and occupy for few days
the suite Of rooms which had been
engaged for them at a Lakewood hotel.
Somebody leaked again and the publ
cation of the plan broke it up. Then
new trip was arranged and was carried
out so quietly that no advance publica.
ton could be made But mark the
sneaking manner IN which the Presi-
dent Of the United States left the White

of how a courageous man would have
done it The arrangements were per-
