American cattle has assumed a more

NEWS AND NOTES

-Debs and COxey is a Presidential
ticket the nomination of which would
please the old parties immensely. 1t
would expose at once the true inward
ness of Populism.
For the benefit of those who think
that in politics a man is not without
honor save in his own land, it may be
well to remark that canvass of the
Maine Legislature, which has just adj
jOurned, showed no dissenters from Mr..
Reed.
1t is hard to understand why the
York Democrats should oppose the
Grand Army's movement for military
training in the public schools, unless, it
is only another instance of the fatal Dem
ocratlc facility for getting on the wrong
side of public questions.
"A womau's edition of the Louisville
COurier-Journal was issued last week. 1t
is presumed that Colonel Wattetson's

Perhaps Mr.. Gresham will kindly ex-
plain why John Bull employs a much
milder tone in addressing France than
he did when talking to Uncle Sam.
Our imports of foreign cutlery have
nearly trebled under the new tariff. Good
judges declare that American cutters are
making some of the best pocket and ia
beware in the world, and it is poor
craftsmanship which permits their trade
to be demOralized by cheap European
limitations.
With Manitoba at one end of the
country and Newfoundland at the other
seeking annexation, our Canadian cous-
ms of the middle provinces must be won
dering whether they hadn't better jump
across the line themselves.
If two-thirds of the Democratic legis-
lators of State like Illinois favor imme-
date and unconditional free coinage,
what must be the silver situation fur

threatens to assume an absorbing import
ance in the next National election.
1t Is rather an impressing circum-
stance that the aggregate Republican plu-
rality in the four great cities of Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago and st. Louis is
now 49, 100. Three of them have been
as normally Democratic. Bat that was
some time ago before the great wave of
municipal reform had begun to sweep
the country.

Tariff Agitation,

The Louisville Courier Journal is dis.
turbed by the New York Tribune's dec
laration that sit is not safe to forget that
until the new tariff is repealed the coun.
try must get along as best it can under
an act which tends to depress industry
and wages" 1t views with alarm the
proposal to open another long pc iod of
tariff agitation" 1t assumes that the
Democratic party has settled the ques.
ton, and hence that it would be wicked
thing to unsettle it. But it is pretty evl-
dent, from the failure of the tariff to
produce enough revenue to sustain the
government, that some repairs to the
measure will be necessary. And if the
question is to be reopened and the agi-
tatiOn renewed, why not take the Nc.
Kinley bill as it stands, with only such
changed business conditions? Certainly,
the country prOspered under 1t, the rev.
enues derived from it were sufficient for
the government and were increasing with
the increase of prosperity, and it could
be taken up and passed in a day. Then,
it must be remembered, that the McKin-
ley bill did not start an agitation Dur
ing the ten months in which it was in
course of consideration, preparation and
enactment the business of the country
kept right along without disturbance or
interruption, and when it was passed
and signed there was the greatest boom
given to business and industry that the
country ever knew. The people are not
alarmed at the Tribune's suggestion. 1t
has not caused ripple of uneasiness in
any business or industrial circle. Let
the next congress pass the Mckinley law,
even without the change of line, and
the only uneaSiness that the matter
would excite would come from the ap.
prehension that Mr.. Cleveland would
veto it.

Or. Depew Describes the Lament of
MANY Wealthy Man.


At the commencement exercises of the
University of Chicago Chauncey NJ. De-
pew was the principal speaker. In speak
of the advantages of education, he said:
sit has been my lot in the peculiar po-
sition which have occupied for over
quarter of a century of counsel and ad-
wiser for a great corporation and its Gre
ators, and of the many successful men in
business who have surrounded them, to
know how men who had been denied in
their youth the opportunities for educa-
ton feel when they are possessed of for
tunes and the world seems at their feet.
Then they painfully recognize their limi.
tations: then they know their weakness;
then they understand that there are
things which money cannat buy, and that
there are qualifications and triumphs
which no fortune can secure. The one
lament of all those men has been, "Oh,
if | had been educated l would sacrifice
all that have to attain the Opportuni.
ties of the college; to be able to sustain
not only conversation and discussion with
the educated men with whom l come in
contact, but competent also to enjoy
what l see is delight to them beyond
anything which | know"

station in New York City was given a
few days ago" remarked a gentleman
who had just returned from the metrop-
oils this morning. 81 went to the big
town on the 9:20 evening train, arriving
at New York at 1880, on time to a min
ute, as usual. In the car that l was in
was charming old lady who had big
satchel. When we got off the train pro
posed to carry the old lady's baggage to
the street from away up at the Forty
fourth street end of tie depot. It's a
long walk, you know, from that end to
the Forty-second street exit, and the old
lady was all alone. | was just about to
take her satchel from the porter when a
smart young man in a blue uniform,
wearing round red hat such as British
soldiers wear, and having embroidered
on the front in gold letters, Grand Cen
trail Station Attendant stepped up to
her, touched his hat and politely asked
where she wished to 90. He took the
satchel from the porter and carried it to
the entrance, where, after protecting her
from the horde of hackmeD, he put her
and her baggage on cross town car and
went back into the station. OF course it
was only what he was hired to do, but he
did it so nicely that was greatly pleased,
and the little old lady was pleased also.
There was troubled look on her face
when she stepped off the train, but when
she saw the uniform of the young fellow
who spoke to her it all disappeared. She
knew she was in good hands and need
not worry more. That messenger SER
vice is great institution. When lady
boards a New York Central train for
New York alone now she knows that she
will be protected from the time the train
starts till she is safely in a carriage or
car in New York City. What more could
be asked of railroad tn IN that. "-ROch-

FLOWERS FOR EASTER
The Lily the FaVorite-other Varie-
ties in Greatest Demand.

Next Sunday will bring to the Chris.
world another Easter. The religious fes-
tival concentrating the resurrection of
the Saviour is in close touch with the
hearts of all and, of course, is no more
distinctively celebrated in Bennington
than anywhere else. Nevertheless
it can be treated locally. The flowers in
bloom at the Easter season are used more
or less for home and church decorations.
The Easter lily is especially identified
with it. How conspicuous part the lily
plays in the Easter festiN al can best be
appreciated and understood by figures.
The annual expectation of Easter lily
bulbs from Bermuda to this country in
the past five years has been from $500 900
to 100000. AS the average production
of every bulb is six flowers, there are
used in the United States from $1,000, 900
to $4,000, 900 Easter lilies i'll decoration
yearly. The custom is peculiar to the
United States. About 10 per cent of the
Easter lilies come from Holland and ia.
pan and the varieties are very beautiful.
Forcing the Easter lily to bloom at Easter
time is the result of much calculation on
the part of the growers. The bulbs are
received from the three countries named
the preceding July and August and for
lists and growers pot them and keep them
in their green houses, treating them by a
series of clipping so that they will bloom
about Easter. While any Towering
plant is appropriate, blooming Easter
ily.is typical present of the season and
nothing is more appropriately beautiful
and highly appreciated.
Other flowers used are hydrangeas, in
pink, white and blue, the genista, a yell
low flower, growing from foot and a
half to seven feet in height, hyacinths,
tulips, lilies of the valley, narcissus and
Jonquils; Azaleas, after the Easter lily,
are the most popular Easter flower They
come in variety of colors, pink. white,
red and stripe. They are equally popu-
lar, both for home and church decora-
tions. Rhododendrons are also much
used in churches, In the way of green's
very little is use d, except palms for back
grounds and smilax for festooning. An
other feature, now characteristic of the
Easter time, is the sending of souvenirs
to friends. They should in some way be
typical of the season. Appropriate toys
are also supplied for the little folk.

Hoods SarsapariIHa

PEELED to cut her hair, as she could not
bear the weight of it. At first the change
for the better was very gradual; the pains
seemed to be less frequent and the SWELL
ing in some of the joints subsidized after
using about one bottle. Then improve
ment was more rapid and one night she
surprised us greatly by telling us that we
need not prop her up in bed as we had
one Tor several months, and next night
she surprised US still more by rolling
over across the bed. From that time on
Improvement was Very Rapid
and she soon began to creep about the
house and then to walk on crutches. Now
she generally uses but one crutch, the dis
ease having left one leg crooked, and fear
it will remain so. We feel that to Hoods

some active means of supplying the
nerves and tissues with better nutrition,
and the veins with better blood. When
Paine's celery compound is given to one
of these excitable, weak nerved, SallOw,
perhaps scrOfulous young persons, the
mother is often amazed at the rapidity
with which it restores the strength,
builds up the worn nervous tissues, and
replaces the languor of depleted ner
vOus system by the elasticity of youthful
health.
Paine's celery compound makes people
well-nOt only worn out, enfeebled men
and women of mature age, but young
persons whose slight powers have been
overtaxed by excitement or immOderate
work without proper intervals for rest
and repair.
Paine's celery compound has played a
most important part in the lives of thou
sands of young people in every section of
this country. Many whose nervous sys-
tens had been so stimulated as to unfit
them utserly for study, it has made Wig
orOus and strong enough to ably bear the
burden of coming years. 1t has enabled
them to grow up vigorous men and wom-
en-, capable of doing the part of active,
strong men and women in the world. Mr..
James B. Wetzel, writing from his home
in New Berlin, Penn, says
"Allow me to speak few words in
praise of Paine's celery compound, My
younger sister, whose picture | send you
was subject to nervous attacks, and, we
thought, to heart trouble. We tried nu-
merous medicines for her ailments, but
without much avail. Last winter she had
severe attack of nervous trouble with
her eyes, and we gave her Paine's celery
compound and she improved wonderful
ly upon it, and she has been well ever
since. If these few words of unsolicited
testimony can be of any benefit please
use them as my unbiased and unpreju-
diced opinion

Nervous exhaustion in children is wor-
rying a great many fathers and mothers
these days.
While the hurry and hustle of modern
life is bringing constantly increasing
strain upon grown men and women, there
certainly comes to light the startling fact
of growing tendency toward nervous
ness among their children.
AS these boys and girls, when older,
will enter life of nervous strain fully as
exacting as that Of today, it is no won
der that parents view with dismay these
early signs of nervous weakness, and anx-
iously seek some means of making the
young people strong and well again. The
remedy is at hand in every city and town
in America.
It is the remedy first prescribed by that
greatest of all modern educators, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., LII. D., of
Dartmouth college. 1t is PaDe's celery
compound, which Principal Camp of
New Haven and Pres. Cook of the Nation
al Teachers association have so recently
recommended.
Countless parents today give their
children Paine's celery compound and
see them grow robust and vigorous day
by day before their eyes till they are
again restored to the perfect health that
belongs to youth. Physicians everywhere
advise the use of this greatest of blood
purifiers and nerve foods.
One of the danger signals of nervous
exhaustion among young people is the
lack of desire for food and the capricious-
ness of appetite. When their over-press-
ed nervous system have been driven to
the point of exhaustion, their faces grow
pale and pinched their spirits decline,
their bodies lose perceptibly in weight
and strength. they need more and more
