in the hands of John SeeIy and will
be takeo along by that gentleman
with his string this year. Speaking
of Seal, his former owner, Mr.. Junge,
said:
There is an interesting bit of his
tory connected with Seal aud one
that is not generally known among
the horsemen. which has had much
to do with the horse being placed in
the hands Of Seely. and with that
gentleman taking kindly to him.
Year before last placed Seal under
contract with Col. Taylor and Jack
Curry. At that time Seely was I'M
der Curry rs a worker and second
driver. Curry was unable to do
anything with the horse, and at the
time of the Galesburg meet they sent
for me aud l went down there.
When got there they told me it
was no use trying to carry the
horse any further. They had en-
tered him in one of the races and
was anxious to see him go. l took
>eely aside and asked him if he
would drive him in the race. He
said that be would be glad to do so.
and SO the deal was made. Seely
knew the horse perfectly. 1t was
his opinion that he had corns on his
feet and that they were responsible
for his conduct. He took the horse
and started him. Curry was in the
same race and drove Bula. The
start was made in good shape. Secly
seemed to have excellent control OF
the horse and from the very start he
was the master. The result was that
Seal carried off first money in three
straight heats, making his record of
2:0Si. 1t was a victory for me and
one long to ne remembered Curry
was sore. In the first place, after
what he had said about the horse, he
wanted to see him beat, and in the
second place no did not relish defeat
at the hands of Seely."
Mr.. Junge said that he believed
that the horse was one of the speed.

Bottled Up!

It certainly is disheartening to a pa
tient to find that the treatment he is
given for disease is more disastrous
than the disease itself. Such is the
case, however, with the usual treat
ment given for diseases of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches of medicine,
the doctors have failed absolutely TO
find successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether in
the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
Doctors prescription is always the
san1e-potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said of tile harm
full and disastrous effects of these drugs.
The doctors are unable to rid the sys-
tenn of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the synlp-
toms from view. There is but one eff
feet to be obtained from potash and
mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry it up in the system, but it
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow in the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disfguring copper-co1ore6
splotclles are but indications of worse
results to follow. No sooner has the
system taken on the full effects of this
powerful drug than that suppleness
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to a stiffness, followed by the racking
pains of rheumatism. The form grad

HOW They Ope.,.

The following communication from
the Boston Evening Herald of Nov. II
gives all instance Of how the Mckinley
prosperity is opening the mills and fac
tories:
Boston Evening Herald 1 would like
to place before the public few facts
concerning the cut-down we received
in Simpsons shoe shor today. We have
been receiving 21s cents per pound for
emitting lifts for heali;.,,, light and
heavy, mixed together. The strongest
quickest man on the job canhot make
but 50 per week and work every minute
from a. M, to 6 p. m, and two-thirds Of
the men on the job are no, making more
than 81 per day on account of tho stock
being very light weight This morning
a notice was posted up notifying US that
the price had been reduced from 21%
cents per pound to ! R cents, cut of
cent per pound. We could not make
enough at these prices to half live, so
we have left the shop. not on strike,
ouL SIMPLY because we cannot live ard
support family on such prices. Well,
here we are after the campaign, weary
and footsore from long marching and
our voices about gone from shouting for
Mckinley and prosperity. Yes, we are
getting prosperity with veDgeance;
and just think OF it, after going up ami
giving our manager serenade with our
nice new uniforms and our drum corps
before us. Oh! just think OF what
"chnmps" we have been. Shoemakers
OF North Adams, organize if you would
protect yourselves against such unjust
and uncalled for reduction in your
wages.

There appears to be question in some
quarters whether the vote on the amend
ments i'll the recent election will stick
on account Of not having been printed
on the ballots according to law. Section
1, chapter S6. of the session laws Of 1895,
provides that whenever a proposed
amendment to the constitution shall be
submitted to vote Of the people Of the
state the proposed amendment shall be
printed upon each ticket of the ballot.
There were three tickets on The ballot at
the late election-Republican, Peoples
and Prohibition. There were four
amendments to the constitution to be
submitted, and Instead of being printed
on each ticket were arranged in column
by themselves as tho side and appeared
but once upon the ballot. 1t has been
stated, however. that another law per-
mits the amendments to be printed as
they appeared.

Something must be radically wrong
In our laws when over $4,000 of taxes
on city property, owned by parties we'll
able to pay, is uncollected and holders
Of bond coupons are calling in vain for
their money. This city is not so deeply
IN debt but what it can meet its Obltga-
tiOns Ii 1t can collect the taxes.-Cham-
berlain Register.
That something radically wrong is so
light penalty for unpaid taxes that it
Is cheaper for delinquent to let the
county or town carry him than a bank.
So long as this state of things exist
towns and counties will be unable to
meet their obligations and their paper
be at heavy discount. The funny
part of it is that the general public is
slow to tumble to tho fact that they have
to pay this discount and interest Just
the same. The idea, too, is a mistaken
one that light penalty and interest on
unpaid taxes works in the interest of the
farming population. The figures given
by the Register show that there is very
large amount due the county from that
town and on which the county is pay ing
interest in the way Of unredcemed war
rants. The penalty and interest on de-
linquent taxes should not be SO high as
to be oppressive, but they should be high
enough to protect the county and muni-
clpality. There is no particular object
in delinquent borrowing money to pay
his taxes when the interest is about tho
same as a bank charges.

When President Cleveland was made
president the first time about every state

When President Cleveland was made
president the first time about every state
paper he put out was alleged to be the
work OF Dan Damont, his private secre-
tary aud trained newspa2erman. With
the average Republican such a thing us
brains and learning in II Democrat was
an impossibility. Cleveland was simply
an accident whom sixty millions Of
people or majority of them--had un-
der the impulse of the moment elevated
to tlie highest office within the gift of
the American prople. So Dan Lamont
was credited with all OF the meritorions
papers emanating from the White House
for time, anyway. Gradually, how
ever, Clevpland's peculiar style developed
into an acknowledged originality and
even his bitterest enemies finally were
compelled to acknowledge that the presi
dent not only wrought out his own state
papers with his own had, but that they
were among the ablest any executive has
ever given to a nation Bnt still, now
and then, some doubling Thomas must
have the president assisted III his literary
efforts. THIS was true of even so late a
rapet as his last message. Apropos of
the talk OF 0lney's having possibly writ
ten the Cuban portion Of the mess ,ge, IL
gentleman who has been intimate in the
higher circles in Washington relates
this story to the Boston Record:
During President CleveIand's first
term it was necessary to issue a pr0cla-
nation in relation to the Oklahoma
lands. 1t was in Mr.. Garland's province
at first, aud he made an endeavOr with
out satisfying himself. lie then dropped
in on Mr.. Endicott (then secretary OF
war; and expressing his dissatisfaction
with the results OF his own efforts, asked
him to see what he could do. Mr.. Endi-
colt tried one or two drafts withOu sat
isfylDg either OF them completely, and
they finally made up their minds to take
the matter directly before the president.
Air. Cleveland, without saying word,
turned to his desk, took Il pen and wrote
the proclamation, which was printed
Just as lie wrote it. MI. EndicOtt is said
frequently to have expressed his surprise
at what was then re!evati0n to him.
AS he said, both he and Mr.. EndicOtt were
cCIlege-bred men, and had training in
writing il in nothing else. and Mr..
Cleveland certainly had not. They de-
clded him then a curious mixture.
Everybody sooner or later has agreed.

Harper's Weeklv:-The election has
left the country with many grave and
difacnlt problems on hand. Now that
we are face to face with some Of these
problems, the lack of capacity OF our
politicians to deal with them is more
than cause for regret, it is a cause for
apprehension. A good many of the
voters who have contributed TO Mr.. Nc
Kinleys victory think they have just
cause of complaint on account of tariff,
or OF land-grant, or Of kindred legisla-
tion, or on account Of the power, vastly
greater than the power of the goverI-
ment, which has been, and may be again
exercised by combinations of capital and
capitalists. Whether all their COM
plants are or are or are not Just, these
voters are to be reckoned with, and IL
they are not needed, the next cOmbina-
tion OF forces against the existing order
OF things may be much more formidable
than that which was led by Mr.. Bryan.
II is essential that the voters who were
opposed to Mr.. Bryan should be held to-
getler against socialism. which has
been increasing during the last fifteen
years, and which will grow still more
rapidly IN the future il federal legisla.
tion shall give it food for gowtll. In
seeking to accomplish this object, our
politicians ought to bear in mind that
the first thought Of men who have, or
who think they have grievances against
wealth. or against the legislation which
aids IN the production of individual
wealth, is that the power to attain
wealth must be limited, or even des-
troYed, not that Its employment must
be regulated so that the power that it
gives shall not be abused. There Is
therefore likely to be an increase of
socialism if the feeling that underlay
good deal of Mr.. Bryan's support is not
oyercome-the feeling that the powers
of the government have been used in aid
OF certain classes, especially Of the man
ufactnrers and railroad corporations;
and renewed trouble may be invited il
this feeling shall be stimulated by
further legislation, or, perhaps, IL there
shall not be something done looking to
the ultimate employment of the powers
of government for the purpose OF govern
ment alone.

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is here. Everyone loves
Christmas. Why? 1t is day of human
itics; originally 1t was day Of deep
religious observance. 1t matters not
whether Christ was born on that day or
not. Let schoolmen settle the question
of dates. The day represents an idea.
That idea Is love and charity. Everyone
is weather. on Christmas than on any
other day in the year; the poor are
happier, the joyous more joyful, the old
younger and the young more childlike.
1t is day of love and of charities, of
Christ childs, Santa Clauses and Kris
Kringles, OF Christmas stockings, Christ
mas trees, Christmas boxes and the
whole family of charity and love. The
innocent deception of Santa Claus, clad
IN his hrs and carried by reindeers over
the bonsetons, dropping toys aud nick
nacks down the chimneys, has a wealth
OF JOY for tho children that seems pity
for after years to dispel. Happy
Christmas! when unbroken families meet
around the smiling board, where 10
vacant chairs traces the festive day with
thoughts of an absent one; happy the
mother who sees once more gathered
under the parent roof her dearly beloved
children; her heart swells with the
memory of past days; the prattle Of the
little ones come once more to her ear,
and in the plentitude OF her Joy she
deeply thanks the day, stamped with the
God-like impress of Christ himself.
The GRAPHIC hopes for Christmas of
love to all Its readers; the ideal Christ
mas in which the unseen hand Of the
very God himself shall bind the broken
heart and the soft whispering of angels
tune the ear with gladness.
