arrangement that would involve the United
States in controversies sure to arise over
disputed boundaries and counter claims in
Africa, but 1t might be advisable to make
an early effort to secure for the United
States a fair share Of the advantages to
accrue from commercial Intercourse with
that continent. The only region in Africa
where the United States has even a senti-
mental claim Is the republic of Liberia.
The territory Of this little republic is most
eligibly located for commercial purposes

productive region. Only a fraction of the
territory Of the republic itself has been de-
veloped. and beyond its boundaries in the
interior Is region as expansive as the
great west For years Liberia has sought
and still seeks a close commercial union
with the parent republic. England and

The exact number Of houses within the
limits Of the District has Just been ascer-
tained by Assessor Trimble to be 50, 1876 As
the population Of the District Is believed
now to exceed 26o. 900. under the rule fami-
liar to statisticians Of calculating five per-
sons to each family or house, the figures
would indicate that Notwithstanding the
great activity in building in recent years,
building operations have no more than kept
pace with the population. The needs of

overestimated by the men who are engaged

1t Cannot BE Possible.
From the New York World (dem.).

We are not ready to believe the report
which comes by way of Auckland that Min
ister Willis has demanded that the officers
OF the provisional government in Hawai-
shall relinQuish their offices and let the de-
posed queen resume her former authority
in the government. There has been free
and very emphatic expression of opinion in
this country regarding the restoration pol
Icy since 1t was broached. 1t does not seem
possible that the President has not been in
structed by it, or that in defiance of il he
has left Mr.. Willis at liberty to commit
such folly.

Il do, certainly. Take the man who used
to sell chestnuts on this corner, for i'll
stance. He was doing well until he got an
idea. He considered it a stroke of genius
and Immediately proceeded to put it into
execution"
What was the idea?'
He observed the effects of moth balls in
connection with his winter clothes and
thought he would try 'em on his chestnuts.
He did so. and lost not only his chestnuts,

Mr.. Cleveland carried New York In 1884

he carried it handsomely in 1892; his oarty
lost 1t badly last year. A current that
Auctuates in this way cannot be counted
on, and only one thing is fairly certain
that any decidedly important error of the
democratic party will render its success this
fall and in 1896 practically hopeless. And
in less measure this statement is also TRUE

Wisconsin, to mention no others If the
democratic party really wishes a fair
chance to do the work of tariff reform.

THE Tribune complains of the sneer-

The cotemporary should sneer no
more. That ancient but charmingly
innocent paper between the energy Of
a democratic congress here of late and
its remembrance of what the republi-
can party might have done but lid
not, ss well as the clear certainty OF
democratic victory in Utah this fall, is
in devil of pickle to be sure. Deal
gently with the charming old super
numerary. HIS misery is almost too

A gentleman in this city the other
day in speaking of an old lady said
that he doubted if she knew how old
she really was. When reasoned with
for the enormity of this statement, he
persisted in it and said further that
he doubted if one-quarter of the peo-
pie in New England, counting every
person, could tell his or her birthday
and age. When the statement was
made, l doubted it as loudly as any
one in the room, but with the lapse
of time and with investigation l am
more than half inclined to be con-
vert to his belief. 1 asked 10 men
whom know perfectly well, and who
are supposed to be able to tell the
time of day, how old they were. One
of them lied. am satisfied of that,
for 1 happen to know when his birth
day is myself. The other nine an
swered honestly enough, but only
three were able to give the day and
year. Seven gave the year, two said
| am so many years old, but did not
give the year or the day of the month.

DEAR SIR:-Ln answer to your In
quiry about what effect the machine
had which l bought from you, will say,
my wife was down with rheumatism
most of the time last winter aud part OF
last spring, 1 spent a good deal OF
money for medicines and doctor bills.
She only received temporary relief. In
July bought from you one of Your in
struments and one bottle of oil Since
thai time [ have bought another bottle
of the oil. As to the result will say
it has done more good for my vile
than all other remedies put together
which we have used. Ny wife now is
well. If she feels any pain at all she
ALWAYS ends it with one application
from your instrument and the rubbing
on of the oil. We have used it on our
children for sore throat and other
pain. 1t has never failed in giving
relief. Iwould be more than willing
to aid YOU in helping others if | could
do SO. Yours very truly,

The Why and Wherefore.

There is nothing marvellous in the
fact that Hoods SarsapaTilla should
cure so many diseases. When you re-
member that majority of the dis
orders ''hesb is heir to'' are due to i'm
pure or poisonous condition of the
hIaod ard that Hoods Sarsanarilla is
an effective and radical blood purifier,
the whole thing is explained.
Besides its blood purifying qualities,
Hoods Sarsaparilla also contains the
best vegetable stomach tonics, diure.
tics, kidney remedies and liver inyigor-
ants. and is thus an excellent specific
for all disorders of these organs, as
well as for low condition of the system
or that tired feeling.
