so that a number Of Prohibitionists
were chosen to the Parliament.
The most striking feature Of this
election In New Zealand was the
large registration Of women In the
short time that was afforded them
to perform this duty. This Is ac-
cepted as u proof that the women,
at least in australasia, not only de-
sire the political franchise, but
know how to exercise IL. TIE eX-
pertinent is regarded as II great
success by its advocates, who en-
Enthusiastically predict that the par
ticipation of women in the suffrage
will produce most salutary polite
al and socia! reforms. On the other
hand, its opponents attribute the
thronging of New Zealand women
To the ballot-boX to the newncss of
the change. When the novelty of
the thing shall have worn away,
they say, the women will leave
politics to their husbands, fathers,
brothers and sons. In such case no
harm will have been done, even if
the sanguine expectations of the
champions Of woman suffrage
should not he realized. But the
data, both in his country aud in
Australasia, are not sufficient as
yet to justify any hard-and-fast
conclusions on the subject. Expe-
rience may cause the champions

ABOUT THAT TAX.
The Mckinley Maxim About the FOr-
eigncrs Paying It is Neatly
Illustrated.


According to report to the State
Department from the United States
Consul, Tanty, at Belfast, the past
year was the most disastrous year
in trade ever experienced there.
This was accounted for by the pro-
longed stagnant trade i'm the United
States and the shrinkage of values.
The United States consumes from
so to 60 per cent of the Belfast pro-
duct of fiaXen textiles. The shrink.
age in values amounted to $5,000,-
600, eating up all profit. There was
also a curtailment of production
amounting to from one-fourth to
one-third of the capacity.
These things were charged to
the American tariff agitation and
on this point the Belfast board of
trade had this to say: "Our chief
desideratum with regard to Amer
lean customs duties is that the tar
iff shall be rarely altered. If the
rates are high it is the Americans
who pay them. Mr.. Mckinley has
said: ut is the foreigners who pay
the tariff" but is not this almost
childish, for if we send fl00 worth
of goods to the states and pay E35
duty on them f100 worth we shall
certainly not sell those goods 70,
less than Gl35."
The report states that since the
passage of the tariff law business
has improved and the demand is
now equal to what it was any time
in the past five years.

The Carnegie reduction process OF

have been no new revelation, after
all. Practically the same opera
tion was performed in 1891 by both
Carnegie and the Bethlehem works
upon the first plates manufactured
according to the american carbon

process has been exalted to an un-
precedented effectiveness.
The curious coincidence of the
simultaneous Krupp discovery of
u kindred process of hardening
steel to marvellous degree of re-
sistence has already been com
mented upon; and now comes sim
liar news from Paris Of II new
French gun, made of hard tempered
steel, which has triumphantly
withstood the shock of 5000 rounds
fred with the heaviest charges of
powder. That the unusual resist
ance of this new cannon is due to
the novel kind of steel from which
1t has been constructed may be
questioned, since the choke-bore is
of a type of which lessons the vio-
lence of the discharge of gas and

90 %

of all cases of consumption can, If taken IN
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like a bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations OF
hypophosphites and such like balliafives.
Although by many believed to be incura-
BILE, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is durable
disease. Not every case, but large per-
cenkage of cases, and we believe, Jniiy 90
per cent. are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (inc!ud-
ing tubercular matter), great loss OF hesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
who have no interest whatever In mis-
representing them, and who. were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery" !"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, In curative power over this
fatal Inalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried IN nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.

those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
