There are thousands of
sickly schoolgirls all over
this broad land that are
dragging their way through
school-life who might enjoy
that abundant life which be-
longs to youth by simple at
tention to hygienic laws and
a proper course of treatment
with Scott's Emulsion. This
would make the blood rich,
the heartbeat strong; check
that tendency to exhaustion
and quicken the appetite by
strengthening the digestion.
Our book tells more about
it. Sent free.

The public mind seems to have revol'
ted already. The election in the Second
ward, Massillon, on Friday last, was a
great surprise, the Democratic candidate
for council, Christian Kauth, being
chosen over william A. Pietzcker, Re-
publican, by a majority of Ill. This
too was in ward that gave Mckinley
some 80 majority. The election in the
city of Lynn, Massachusetts,, last week,
was similar turnover. But that is the
way things whirl in this country some
times. These admonitious, however
will have no influence upon the gold
high tariff taxation power.

From this it seemsthe revenues were
nearly sos, ,0OO, 900 less in 1894 under the
Mckinley law than in 1893, under the
same law. And instead of falling of
of $50, 100000 as stated by the Senator
under the new law, there was an increase
of SIG, 100000 in 1895 (for ten months of
which year the new law was in force) as
compared with 1894, under the Mckinley
law.
In 1896, under the new law, the re.
venues were upward Of $50, ,O00,O 900 great
er than in 1894 under the Mckinley law.
And it must be borne in mind that the
income tax, upon which the trainers OF
the new law relied for $50, 600, 600 year,
has not produced cent. 1t will be
seen that our Senator, in his earnestness,
wondered far from the truth. The de-
felt was not the result of the Wilson
law, but was under the Mckinley law,
and was about as great the last year Of
the Mckinley act as it was during the
first two years of the new law. 1t is
surprising that a learned Senator should
thus misstate when the facts are so
easily obtainsble.

1t is a matter Of comment at Washing
ton that the Republicans do not seem
jubilant after their prosperity" and
victory as in former times. On the other
hand the silver men are bubblipg all
over with satisfaction, and are making
their opponents quite sober whenever
they meet them. The Republicans do
not fancy references to this happy era OF
prosperity" the country is getting
since McKinley's election, and the pros
porous times we have been having for
long years past under their glorious
protection. The panic of 1873 and
the years afteI of hard times and tramps
were under protective tariff But that
never counts with our Republican friends.

The Heliotrope.

The heliotrope is an emblem Of devo-
tion. This idea was probably suggested
by the curious habit presented by this
flower of turning its face toward the
sun. Moore's poetioal lines about the
sunflower turning on her god where he
sets the same look that she turned when
he rose is not founded on fact. The sun
flower is not heliotrope and does not
turn to face the sun.

young women.
