Some sensational fool has been try
ing to besmirch the fair name of Hot
Springs by writing to some leading
eastern dailies an article rejecting on
the morals of the city. The STAR has
refrained from saying anything about
it until the imputation of authorship
was laid at the door of one of it's edit
ors. and now it demands an answer

When once again industrial andcom-
mercial matters get settled down to
some basis-or when the democratic
congress adjourns-there must GER
tainly be Il revival in business circles.
It is estimated that something like
S~25O.OOO,OOO is now idle in the country
i'll hiding until questions of legislation
that seriously affect the business inter-
ests of the country are settled in some
manner; until there may be some basis
from which to estimate values, for there
are questions that have been before
congess for the past several months
that will materially affect values in GER
tain lines one way or another. At
present those who may have money to
invest are all at sea as to what course
to pursue, and they will do nothing un-
til these questions that affect prosper
ity of the country are entirely out of
the way. Then we may look for a
rapid renewal of enterprises along all
lines of trade. Even now New York
brokers claim that they are able to get
plenty of money at 90 per cent. It is
evident from this that those who have
money are anxious to place it some
where SO that it will be earning some
thing for them. But brokers are afraid
to handle it. They feel uncertain as to

President Cleveland's 'personal" let

ways and means committee, stirred UP
u hornets nest in the house as we'll as
in the senate. He will probably find it
one of the biggest of the many enor-
nous jobs he has undertaken during
his administration if he attempts to
coerce the senate into complying with
his suggestions. or in insisting upon
the house that it should not approve
the action of the senate in altering the
house tariff bill. The continuation of
democratic existence" does not seem
paramount at this stage of the game
with the people of our country, and
President Cleveland's appeal to force
the original house bill through is not
more likely to be commended than was
his Hawaiian policy.

Another Cure.

j. E. Black, u prominent hardware
merchant of Boone, To-, and of the
pioneers of that section, leaves for
home this evening entirely cured of a
e case of sciatic rheumatism. A
STAR representative interviewed him
today and gathered the following facts
as he stated them: II came here a few
weeks ago SO badly crippled up that 1
could scarcely hobble about with the
aid of my crutches. I had been to Col
fax Springs twice this spring without
getting any benefit, but as my physi-
clan told me 1 would have to wear my
disease out or it would wear me out, I
decided to come and give the waters
here a trial. The result has been most
happy,as 1 now consider myself entirely
cured. For months I had suffered ex-
c%ruciatingly, sleeping very little, and
wondering if I would be able to stand it
an hour longer. When I had taken
the fourth bath 1 commenced to feel
better and now I am free from all pain
and can get around as we'll as ever 1
could. I give all the credit to the
waters as 1 have not taken a drop of
medicine. You can rest assured that
1 will say and do all I can for Hot
Springs. I would not take-well there
is no estimating in money, for money
could not buy the benefit I have re-
ceived. 1 regard these springs as the
greatest water in the country and this
is bound to be a great place."
