Marvellous Results.

From letter written By Rev. ]. Gunder-
man, of Diamondale, Mich we are permitted
to make this extract: II have no hesitation in
recommending DR.. Kings New Discovery, as
the results were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While was pastor of the Bap-
fist Church at Riyes Junction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A friend
recommended DR.. Kings New Discovery; it
was quick in its work and highly satisfactory
in its results" Trial bottles free at E. s.

The Future of Gold Production.


While our Southern and Western
statesmen are still bent upon securing
the free coinage of silver, it is at least
worth while to note the fact that the
relative scarcity Of gold may be consid
erably affected by new conditions OF
production. The distinguished editor
OF the Economists Francois, m. Paul
Leroy Beaulieu, has recently predicted
that the annual production OF
gold in the coming quarter century
will be double that of the average of
the past twenty or thirty years. He
has given close attention to the open.
ing up oil the South African gold mines
and anticipates an enormous output
in that region. In this connection. it
is also interesting to observe that Ger.
tain experts in Deuver-which has
been the very heart and center of the
free silver movement--now declare
that Colorado has AL eady reached a
point in the production of gold where
her mining interests as q whole would
sacrifice more than they would gain by
the free coinage of silver Colorado's
production Of gold and silver last year
was approximately $240O0,000. equal.
ly divided between the two. Not to
repeat the arguments that are advanced
in order to convert Colorado from
its free silver doctrines, it is evident
that some impression upon local
public opinion is likely to be made by
the increase from year to year in the
output of the western gold mines. M.
Leroy Beaulieu contends that the pres
ent Is a highly opportune time for the
United States to change its policy, to
abandon its prediction for silver ard
to proceed to absorb its full share of the
worlds stock Of gold. 1t might be
argued with some seriousness that il
the free'silver men should agree for the
time being to join hands with the so.

The Postmaster General.

The resignation Of Postmaster Gen.
eral Bissell has caused no surpriSe. Mr.
Bissell was never seeker for Office
and had no taste for political lie. Mr.
Cleveland chose him for pos!mss Or
general because he knew him and
could trust his ability and integrity,
and his acceptance OF the Office seems
to have been due more to personal
esteem for the President than to Il de.
sire to figure in public affairs.
The Presidents trust was not mis-
placed. Mr. Bissell has proved an cx.
ceptionally able postmaster general,
conducting the complicated business
of the department with q single eye
to the best service OF the public, and
he leaves it now 50 efficiently orga

OF high duty worthily done.
