faithfully every morning, although
personally l find them decidedly in

sudden desire for this particular
brand cropped out accidentally. 1t
seems that of all the exhibits the pre-
siding genus of this particular booth
was the only one who offered him "A
sample of her wares and after he had
eaten thereof she told him to ask his
parents to try them. He fulfilled his
part of the contract" how faithfully

Value of the Railway Strike.

The railway strike has shown con-
clusiuely that the ballot-boX is the on
ly proper and effective way to remedy
the many serious evils we all expert
ence. If the workmen, who suffer
from our present anarchical, COMPETE
tive system, vote the Populist or
Socialist ticket this fall every state in
the Union would be carried by large
majorities against the two old parties,
and a majority for the new forces
would be assured in the congress
which meets in December, 1s95-and
which, in real republic, should meet
in December, 1894 1t is not likely
that the president will call an extra
session of congress for March 4, 1895,
when the congressman elected in No
vember are entitled to seats, since it
is probable that there will be fifty or
sixty Populists in it.. If the people
were sufficiently intelligent, Populist
and Socialist congressman would be in
the majority. Then such legislation
would speedily be had as would solve
all these difficulties; the only solution
lies in the collective ownership by the
whole people of all the means of pro-
ductIon and distribution.-COm

We receive similar assurances from
all parts of the state; but we advise
our friends not to be too sanguine
Honest enthusiasm dies out as the
weather gets cooler. And besides the
enemy has not yet commenced to pay
out the shekels. That is what tries
mems souls. In 1892 we should have
carried the state if the election had
been held at the beginning ofOctober.
But during that last month, and espe-
cially during the last week, not less
than $3.50 900 were paid out by the Re-
publicans. Many a blooming enthus-
last who, in August, would have died
for his party, when the chill winds of

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intlamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result. and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an intlamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
