There are wars and rumors of wars.
The Venezuelan controversy is in
statu quo. as the lawyers say. A
squad of English marauders made an
invasion into the Dutch South African
colony OF Transvaal about the first of
the year and suffered a signal defeat,
their leader, a DR.. jameson With
several of his lieutenants were taken
prisoners, and will be tried. The in
cursion proving unsuccessful, England
promptly repudiated the affair. 1t is
a question whether the impudent
little island would not promptly have
incorporated Transyaal into the
queens empire had the buccaneers
been successful. The German emper-
or telegraphed President Kruger of
the Dutch republic his congratula-
ton upon his heroic defence of his
country, and called down upon his
Teutonic head the execration of the
English. Query,-having repudiated
DR.. Jameson, why should England
criticise Emperor Wilhelm? The
Cuban insurgents have fought their
way from the southeastern point of
the island until they are within the
immediate neighborhood OF Havana.
They seem to have outgeneraled the
Spaniards at every point. During the
summer months the excuse of the
Spanish general was that it was in
possible for his troops TO operate
during the heated terms. but that
with cool weather he would make
quick work of the republicans. The
success of the latter viii in all proba-
bility insure their early recognition
by this country as belligerents.

Living too Late.

Not long ago / met a young lady in
poverty whom had previously known
in wealth and this was, in substance,
the story she told me: Father died
suddenly in Washington and the pro-
fessiOnal skill through which he had
coined money for us died with him
| am not weeping because we are poor.
l am broken hearted because none of
US saw that he was dying. Was it not
pitiful that he should think it best not
to tell any of us that he was sick? And
L, his petted daughter, though l knew
he was taking opium to soothe his
great pain, was so absorbed in my
lovers, my games and my dresses, that
l just hoped it would all come right.
IL could only remember that even
once had pitied his suffering or felt
anxious about his life, l might bear
his loss better"
This story is common enough,
Many father, year after year, goes
in and out of his home carrying the
burden and doing the labor of life,
while those whom he tenderly loves
hold with but careless hands all of
honor and gold he wins by toll and
pain. Then some day his head and
hands can work no more. And the
hearts that have not learned the great
lesson of unselfish love while love was
their teacher must now begin their
sad duty when love has left them alone
forever.-Ladies' Home Journal.

The New York Commercial Bulle-
tin, one of the best informed papers
in the country on tariff and financial
affairs shows very conclusively that
the deficits, which have grown to be a
permanent feature of our National
fiscal system, is due wholly to the I'M
wise course of Congress in not making
the duty on sugar high enough. The
same authority also states that the
Treasury will continue to run behind
until Congress recognizes that the
duty on sugar is the safest and most
reliable source of revenue. a WASH
ington correspondent writing to the
same paper says "this duty was one of
the most important sources of revenue
up to the time of its abolition on
April |, 1891, and some of those who
favor revenue duties believe that its
repeal is the cause of many of the
existing disorders in the National
finances. The collections for the
eleven years ending with 1890 reached
an aggregate of $3.50, 100000, or an
average OF about S5O,OO0,O00 per year.
These large collections, made upon a
product which entered with little
change into consumption and dis
tributed almost evenly over the whole
community, amounted to considerably
less than 81 per capita for population
ranging during the eleven years from
fifty to sixty-two millions"

A Canadian editor discusses the it.

A Canadian editor discusses the it.
ineIant dealer question as follows:
1.-THE itinerant dealer is no earthly
use to a town. He gives nothing to
charities or public enterprises and
pays nothing for public expenses. He
has nothing in common with our peo-
pie. He can swindle you and often he
does. He can cheat with impunity.
The home merchant has a reputation
to sustain. He bears his share of the
expense of the town. When a sub
scription is passed he is one of the
first TO be approached. He builds a
house and makes other permanent i'm
provements that enhances the value
OF our property. He helps pay for the
churches in which we worship and
the schools to which we send our
children. He cannot afford to mis-
represent his goods or swindle his
customers. Self interest alone pre-
vents this. 1t is not difficult TO decide
which class of dealers should receive
the support and patronage of the
people.

An Australian agriculturist, Mr..
Krichauff, has called attention to the
fact that the potato will celebrate the
Booth anniversary of its introduction
into England next year. 1t was in
1886 that Sir Walter Raleigh returned
to England from America with the
first tobacco and potatoes, which orig
inally grew in Peru. Although, the
potato it is estimated, now furnishes
one-sixth of the nourishment of the
human race, for long time it was a
delicacy for the rich alone. Even at
the beginning of the seventeenth
century noblemen paid two shillings a
pound for potatoes and seasoned them
with sherry. People often visited the
gardens of the botanist Gerard at
Holborn to see the plants in bloom.
There is talk of a celebration in honor
of the anniversary.

The senate finance committee have
reported the house bill sent them so
as to provide for the free coinage Of
silver. This means that there can be
no financial legislation with the pres
ent conflicting views of the two
houses. The prospect seems to be
that the tariff emergency bill will
pass the senate with but slight
amendments to the house bill. 1t
provides for duty on wool. Whether
such a bill can become law is doubt
full in view of the attitude occupied
by the president. He will hardly sign
it, but may possibly permit it to be-
come a law without his signature, as
he did the democratic Wilson bill,
that measure of ''perfidy and dis
honor" as he termed it.

EIectric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited to
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, and when the liver is
torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and alternative is felt A proper use
of this medicine has often averted long
and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No
medicine will act more surely in counter
acting and freeing the system from the
malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion,
Constipation, Dizziness, yield to Electric
Bitters. SOC and Sl.00 per bottle at G. Z.
