An exchange truthfully says;
"Tbose who show a newspaper
man Kindness never make a
better Investment or one that Will
pay them in larger returns. There
are times IN the lite OF every man,
may he be ia either private or
political life, when newspaper
can make or break his future
prosperity. Newspaper men, like
all others, are only human. They
favor those who favor them and
unmake those who do them a
wrong. Men too often, IN the vain
Imagination of their own concelt,
undervalue the true power OF the
press. No matter how powerful a
man may be, the persistent efforts
of the press will kill his strength
despite the best efforts he may
otherwise put forth"

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Hicks' Forecasts for December.

The month opens warmer with reac-
tionary storms due about the full moon
on the Pad Much colder with heavy
westernly gales from about the 2nd to
the 4th-begi in tho West by the
2nd and reaching the East by the 4th.
Meantime the Vulcan period will begin
in tie far West with rising temperature,
falling barometer, South winds, then
storms. From about the 5th to the 9th
the storms of rain and snow viii make
their transit across the continent from
West to East See if there is a tendency
in the storm to center about mo)n's last
quarter and Perlgee On tho 9th. Another
cold wave will bring up the rear Of this
period.
The effects of the December sOlstice
will begin aOolt the 9th, as shown by the
earth's brace in the storm diagram. From
this time until near the close of the mouth,
there will be a constant tendency to storm s
and threatening weather But few causes
bear on the month, but winter solstice
alone assures us OF many storms, espeC-
tally on the high seas. About the llth
and 18th, look for warmer, with squalls
and visitations of ram and snow. The
cold dash behind thu storm psr)l
beginning on the 10th is usaered 10 by a
new moon. The indications are, that
about that date it will be quite warm,
and that heavy storms, turning to snow,
will set IN promptly and cross the COM
try to the East before the Goth. A severe
cold wave will tall in behind the storms,
beginning IN the Northwest almost
simultaneous with the storms.
The 23cd aad 2i& are reactionary
centerS, around which will gather warmer
temperature. ending in moro storms o.
rain or snow, aud followed by a cold
wave for Christmas. December goes out
as it came in-with a storm period
containing full moon, in progress. The
crisis Of the closing period will be roach
ei about the last day, ia connection with
the second full moon of the month Gales

With the meeting Of Congress,
last Monday, legislation passed
into the hands of the Republican
party. Ia the House, they have a
large majority, in the Senate, they
have more than any other party,
but not a maj ority.
1t is to be hoped, for the good of
all the people, that legislation WILL
not be of a partisan character
Should Congress forget party and
legislate for the good of the whole
country they would so strengthen
the party that defeat would be
almost impossible. ShOOld tbey'
on the other hand, follow tue ex.
ample of the Democratic bosses of
the last congress, they will succeed
IN arousing the antipathles of the
people and will wreck the pros
poets of the Republican party.
Their present position Is a very
responsible one, both to their party
and to their country. The spirit
Of independence among the people
Is becoming stronger. The people
OF this country are willing to put
almost any party into power; they
will give them a fair trial aud 1t
they fail to do what the people ex'
pect, these same people will take
pleasure in degrading those who m
they honored short time before.
We have heard Of parties that are
sure of supremacy for thirty years
to come. 1t is all nonsense. They
may be sure so long as their leg
islation Is approved By the masses
and the country continues pros
porous. Let them legislate against
what the mass,s consider their
interest, or let business become
stagnant from any cause whatever,
and the party in power will feel
the effects OF dissatisfaction among
the masses. Glass legislation, ring
rule, bossism, aud combines, of all
kinds, in the interests OF trusts or
other corporations, threaten the
prosperity OF the country. VIII the
party now In power be free from
these infuencesi Time alone will
tell.

The Sultan's Appeal.

COnstantinople, Dec. 2.(yia Sofa
Bulgaria, Dec. 3)-It is known
that the sultan, finding that his
appeals to the powers were in vain
has been making the strongest
personal appeals to the different
sovereIgns interested to induce
them 10 withdraw their demands
for the extra guardshlps pointing
out, as usual that it would be a
serious blow to his dignity, and
that it might cause not only the
most serious rioting in CONSTANT
nople but an extended outbreak
upon the part of the Mussulmans
generally.
So far as can be judged without
the absence of definite news the
most serious disturbance threaten.
ed or in progress Is In Pdlesrlne, a
ir, sh outbreak being reported at
Caesarea and at Konieh and in
the Mecca districts.
1t is stated, however, that all
is quiet IN that SiYas district, and
a dispatch from Apollo announces
That there is every prospect OF
persuading the Armenian insur.
gents at Zeltoun to surrender
without any further trouble. The
Armenian Patriarch here at the
request of the representatives OF
the powers, has been dong what
he can in this matter, the ambassa.
doris having assured him that the
Turkish government has given
the most solemn pledges that the
Armenians should not be massa'
cred or panished If they surrender
to authorities.
The work of arming and eq4ip-
ping the reserves has been almost
suspended, the Turkish authorities
say, because order is being grad.
ually restored in all the troubled
districts. On the other hand The
Armenians cIaim that the govern
ment cannot equip the reserves
owing to lack OF money.

THE WALTON LAW.
voices of theVirginia Press.

Voices Of theVirginia Press.
The contest IN the recent cleo
ton in Virginia was based almost
entirely on the Walton Law, and
many of the candidates owe their
election solely TO their promises 10
enact legislation which will erdd-
icate the Objectionable features
of that law, but from recent de-
velopments in different sections 1t
appears that some of the newly.
elected senators and delegates are
not as enthusiastic in their clamor
for that reform as their previous
utterances would seem TO indicate.
The Walton Law as 1t now stands
is not entirely satisfactory to
large proportion Of the voters, and
the late experiences OF Democrats
in other States should serve as
warning to Virginia politicians
that the will of the people must be
served Bedford Va, Bulletin.
1t is our candid opinion unless
the Legislature, that will assem-.
BILE in Richmond early next month,
amends the election laws now on
the statute books so as to, do all the
power of man to insure honesty
IN the matter of elections, the
Democratic party In Virginia will
be driven from power by an in.
dignant people, and we do not
hesitate to say that this paper will
be found cheek by jOwl with the
people.-DlnvlIle Va Register.

There are said to be 10000

Deafness is caused by an irhamed con-
