La Grippe is COMPOUNDED by many persons
with severe attack of catarrh. which in some
respects resembles the former. These indi-
yiduals suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness in
throat and stoppage OF the nasal passages, and
in fact, are incspacitated for work of any
kind for days at 8 time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used
with the best results in such cases. The

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

As the returns come in, the republi-
Can victo-y of Tuesday last becomes
larger and more far-reaching. Not
able inroads have been made in
the former democratic strongholds.
Here are the leading republican plu-
,alities: Kentucky (estimated), 15,-
600; New York, $685.; Nebraska,
10000; Missouri, 10000; Massachusetts,,
6S 444; New Jersey, 26,960; Pennsyl-
vania, 10000; Ohio, $1,000; Utah,
1000.
Later advices show that the demo-
Gratis will retain control of the Mary
land Senate, but that the republicans
will have big majority of the Legisla-
ture on joint ballot.
Latest returns show that not only
has Kentucky elected the full republic
can State ticket, but that the complex
ion of the Legislature assures repub-
lican successor to United States Sena-
tor Blackburn.
In Utah the republicans elected a
complete State ticket and q Congress
man. The Legislature, which will
elect two United States Senators if the
territory is admitted to the U MON, is
republican.
VIRGINIA.
The returns from all but three out
lying counties in the State indicate that
the loss to the democrats 10 Tuesdays
election will be five in the Senate and
ten in the House. The Senate will
stand 81 democrats and 6 for the OPP
position, Of the latter being republi.
cans. The House will have 78 demo
Gratis and % in the opposition, republi-
cans and populists. The last Legisla-
ture was democratic, except two popu.
lists in the Senate and twelve in the
House.
The democratic opposition elects five
Senators, as follows: Parr, of Patrick !;
Hale, of Franklin; McCune, of Win.
chester; Flanagan, of Powhatap, and
Clayton, of Roanoke. The anti demo-
Gratis gain one member in Augusta, two
in Halifax, two and probably three in
Pittsylvania, one in Floyd, one in Hen

4th. In the management of two pub
lie questions Mr.. Cleveland has been
unfortunate and unwise. From the
election of 1892 until August 1894,
period of nearly two years, the great
manufacturing interests who compose
about fourth or third of the whole
were kept Oh the griddle and in state
of uncertainty. Pledged as the party
was by its creed and the vote of 1892 to
correct the Mckinley law of 1890, Mr..
Cleveland should have called Congress
together early in March, 1898, and used
the whole power of his administration
to effect prompt reform of the tariff
Instead of this, he let the matter go
over. allowed foolish bill to be drafted
and passed in the House of Representa-
tives, next favored its essential modi-
fication by the Senate, and then went
back on the work of his own hands and
his own Secretary by warning on a
democratic Senate and employing the
violent denunciations of the fish market
against the MEASURE and its authors. At
ter this he neither signed nor vetoed
the bill. He was neither hot nor cold.
Such an attitude fully explains the
loss of the House OF Representatives
in 1894 by an overwhelming vote.
Again, avoiding and post poning action
on the tariff while this uncertainty was
running thousands of business men, Mr..
Cleveland lent himself to the Wall
street policy and called Congress to-
gether in the dog days of 1898 to repeal
the Sherman. act and to take the initial
step towards the gold standard policy
which he has since pushed to the ex-
treme of issuing gold bonds three
times and giving preference 10 foreign

CanaiSre.

The Mexican Financier has an
interesting description of the can
aigre crop, which is becoming i'm
portant In Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico. In the Pecos valley,
Texas, farmers are going out of
cotton into canaigre with decided
profit. The plant will grow almost
anywhere in the cotton belt, and
may become an important paying
crop further east than Texas. Gull
tivation increases the product to
some thirty tons Of green roots,
which shrink to some eight tons
when dry. The roots yield from
% to 50 per cent of tannic acid,
while oak and hemlock bark yield
only from s to 10 per cent. Prices
of dried canaigre root range from
$25 to $50 per ton in the rough. In
Europe from $50 to $50 per ton is
paid, it is stated, and the demand
far exceeds the supply. The crop
per acre is said to be worth from
$175 to 1925, while the cost of
planting aud cultivating is about
the same as that of the sweet DO
tato crop. The tannic acid from
canaigre is said to be exception
ally valuable for tanning uppers,
fine sadd.ery and fancy leatkers.
1t is used also as a dyestuf: It
deserves the attention of our farm
ers who can obtain useful sugges-
tons as to it's cultivation from the
Agricultural Department at Wash
ngton.-Colman's Rural World.

NEED OF A REPRESENTATIVE I
JAPAN.

The extraordinary intelligence
and ability shown by the Japanese
in their war with the Chinese, is at
tracing the attention of the Eng
lish press. It predicts change in
the attitude of the Japanese to-
wards the Occidental nations,
especially toward Great Britain,
which has vast interests In that
part of the world. The payment
of an enormous indemnity to
Japan will act as the payment of
indemnity Of France to Germany
did twenty years ago in fostering
great speculations, an enormous in
crease of the navy, and DISPOSE
ton on the part of the Japanese to
become aggressive and overbearing.
The most thoughtful of the
American correspondents in Japan
state that Count Ito and the con-
sentative government stand alone,
and hold their own with great diff
fculty against the military party,
and they predict that peace will
bring some extreme changes in do
nestle politics.
Where do we, the little Republic,
stand in the matter? What will
be the attitude of the Japanese to-
wards US? We have now a popula-
ton of $4,000 of them, which is
ten times larger than the actual
American population. They are
here by our invitation, and are pro-
tected by broad and almost per-
petual treaty. Some of our people
are disposed to treat them rather
roughly, as if they were intruders
and must be sent home. No doubt
they are pressing us hard in many
ways, and develop singular ability
in adapting themselves to new cir
cumstances.
Who is our representative in
Japan to advise us, and, so far as
he can, protect US, in the contin-
gencies of dispute? Do we know
what his relations are with the
Japanese Government? Is he iden-
tilted with us7 We only know of
him as a speculator in the labor
market; as one who has made a
considerable fortune out of the con-
tract system, and who is allied by
marriage and business relations
With the Japanese rather than with |
ourselves. Is it wise to leave mat |
ters, which may suddenly become |

may be?

It is Of vital Importance to know
and quickly what in
f1uences are in operation in that
country which may cause any
changes in our friendly relations,
and, above all things. to prevent, if
possible, any change.
Measures on our part, towards
our industrial classes from

'rs, may be misunderstood by the

Interference. At the same time, if

here, arrangements may be made
which will obviate any trouble.

cisco reporters must read be-
tween the lines TO understand
that he does not mean half
that he is reported as saying.
Mr.. Ashford was long enough
in Hawaii to convince the PEG,
pie that he can tell the differ
ence between "a 'awk han a
'au saw" and that he under
stands full well the value of
silence. He has about as
much intention of heading a
flibustering expedition as he
has of returning here and
standing as a candidate for
office. c. w. is a little joker
and the interview with the re-
porter in Frisco was one of his
Jokes. When Mr.. Ashford
left here, his main thought
was to do something in the
behalf of his brother. The
people here who know him
will not believe that a hlibus-
tering expedition is in the line
of assistance to that person.
Some time ago, we pur-
chased a lot of European wire
and Immediately afterward
some parties circulated a re-
port that the quality had been
affected by some unknown
cause and that it was not up
to the standard of the -Ams-
ericass product. We had a half
dozen coils of the wire tested
at the Iron Works and it
showed a tensile strength of
200 pounds. When this re-
port was published in this
column, the wire was sought
after by plantation managers
and individuals from Niihau to
Hawaii. The other day, to OBJ
lige a skeptic, we ordered a
hundred coils of American
wire from the Coast and as
it reached the store, we sent
a half dozen coils to the foun-
dry to have it tested. The
result showed a tensile
strength of 7o8 pounds or
about 1000 less than the Eu-
ropean article. We violate no
confidence when we tell you
that this American wire will
not be sold by us. We have
an abundance of the European
article and can supply all sizes
and in any quantity. This wire |
with the steel stays and gal
vanized washers comprise the
material necessary to use in
making the celebrated Jones
Locked Fence than which no
stronger, cheaper Or better
fence was ever made.
