THE PRESIDENT I'LL.

While due allowance must he made for

conceded that President Clcvelandis not
In vigorous health. This may mean very
little or much-ior an air OF mystery al
ways encircles those highin authority SO
far as their personality is concerned. The
country will hope and pray Tor his speedy
restoration to complete health. The
Evening Journal INDUCES in this specu
lation:
"But Mr.. Cleveland's i'll health is a
serious business. Suppose that presi
dental inability should be declared. even
il he should not die. Adlai Stevenson
would step into the White House, and
would doubtless sign silver free coinage
bill it it reached him, or subscribe to
most any dangerous scheme his party
and the populists might get through
congress. The elevation of Adlai would
inspire every crank in the country with
hope and would make the Southern
statesmen intolerab'e in their imputience.
1t would be q great calamity II Grover
Cleveland should have to retire through
Inability. physical or mental. With all
ms faults, he has stood for sound 6na,, &c
hitherto. aud the imfiationists had no
hope OF getting amy a! tAcir schemes p;.st
the point of bis pen. 1t is true, it is no "
reported that Mr.. Cleveland has suddenly
become liberal as to silver, but that
statement needs strong continuation.
Until evidence ofhis detection from sound

ment of this country will regard MIR.

STARTLING INCREASE I
Insanity Last Year.

The increase of insanity last year over the
preceding year was startling Think OF IT,
persons suffering from nervous troubles, such
as sick and nervous headache, nervousness,
commissions, neuralgia, apoplexy, dyspepsia,
sleeplessness, paralysis, nervous prostraticn,
epilepsy, etc. The outlook would certainly
be discouraging for you were there no iaeaaa
of escape Any of the above difficulties,
and many more, are advance symptoms Of
insanity or some other equally depiorable
dition ending in suicide or premature death.
DIR. Franklin Miles, the noted specialist;
has devoted over 20 years to the inyestiga-
ton of nervous affections, and in the result
of his labors lies the only hope of those afiict-
ed with the troubles named. His Sestora-
tive Nervine is positive means OF relief.
If you have any nervous affection attend 10
it at once Do not wait till your intellect is
shattered or the frenzy Of suicide oycrcomes
you. Delay is dangerous.

WOULD you please give the condition

of Harrison's administration and at the
present time? A. At the close OF March,
1898, the debt OF the United States, less
cash in the treasury. was 1887 1877 .495,
which was the lowest point reached
since the national debt was incurred.
The surplus. including the gold green
back reserve, aggregated $l25, $50, 72S.
There was free gold balance in the
treasury OF $1O7 900 900, and a silver
balance Of sis. S43, 72S. At the same
period in 1894 the national was increased
$50, OOO. 900, the new loan being slightly
less than that amount, and the debt is
still larger now. as all the money derived
from this loah has been squandered. and
the gold reserve has been diminished to
less than $7O,OOO,OOO. The receipts OF
the treasury tor the nine months preced-
ing the close Of the Harrison admins
tration from customs were $157 ,844,-

Probably the Hay lake channel is
not as wide as it ought to be, but it will
be great aid to navigation without
any doubt, and lighted, as it will be, by
electricity, vessels can use it at night,
thus making time, even if they have to
60 at slow speed. The gro with of traf'
fic to and from Lake Superior makes it
evident that there must yet be spent mil
lions of dollars bv the government on the
waters connecting Lake Superior with
Lake Huron before navigation shall have
the safe guards and the facilities which it
demands. This fact should be kept con-
stantly in mind by our people and con-
