Oyster Famine Out Of sieht.

Oy000T C0tIsA00 OUt "a 6IRuCs
"There may be an end to the oyster
business some time," remarked an old
Washington oyster man, "but it won't
come for many years yet. The oyster
beds Of Chesapeake bay alone are 5000
square miles in extent, and while the
oysters there are probably not as plen-
tiful as they were some years ago, there
is still a good supply, Notwithstanding
the number dredged yearly. OF late
years the supply has very considerably
increased, owing to the millions of small
oysters dredged Off the coast of the Car
olinas. and planted in the Chesapeake
bay to grow. When the ocean oyster is
first dredged 1t is too salt to eat. In
several years, however, 1t loses its fiery
and very salt taste and soon increases
in size. Though oysters are plentiful
oil along Long Island Sound, and good,
too, yet the great supply is taken from
Chesapeake bay. the annual yield of
which is over 30 900. 600 bushels"

A IN THE HEAD.
A Constitutional Disease. RECURRING
a Constitutional Remedy v.

q constitutional Remedy.
Catarrh in the head consists of infiam-
NATION Of the mucous membrane in the
nasal passages, and sometimes it extends
to the air cavities which cover a consider
able portion of the face. Catarrh in the
head frequently destroys the senses of taste
and smell, and its tendency is always de-
b!ilitating. The best authorities say catarrh
is just as surely a constitutional disease as
Is scrOfula. It is caused and promoted by
impure blood. The teaching of experience
proves that the true way to cure catarrh is
to purify the blood. The One True Blood
Purifieri is Hoods S%arsaparilla. Thousands
OF such statements have been written by
honest, straightforward men and women:
they have been published year after year;
n their genuineness is beyond n Dos
sible question.
# you are suffering from catarrh, do not
daily with snuffs, inhalants and useless
local applications. Take the direct
road to health. Cleanse the stream at
the fountain head. Purify your
blood with one True Blood Furi-
fer, Hoods Sarsaparilla. In a short
time you will be convinced of the wisdom
OF this course. Hoods Sarsaparilla will
give you an appetite, tone and strengthen
your stomach, make rich, red blood, and
remove all the disagreeable symptoms Of
catarrh by permanently Graduating the
causes which produce them.

Was Too Ardent.

An Iowa postmaster, who is q free
silver man, warmly advocated the cleo
ZION Of Mr.. Bryan. In the course of
his business he discovered that some
Dne was sending through his office
:arge quantities Of literature on the
nefarious subject Of sound money.
This was directed to farmers, and the
postmaster discovered to his horror
that the latter were reading the docu-
ments, and that the attendance Mt the
free silver meetings grew less and less.
The postmaster made up his mind that
he would save the farmers and the
country was going to the demnition
bowwows. and he promptly confscated
all the matter of this sort which after.
ward came to the Office and burned 1t.
In spite of his heroic efforts Iowa went
overwhelmingly against him, and now
= heartless administration is actually
going to prosecute him.-Chicago

SLAVES WHERE VICTORIA RULES
Trade In Human Beings Under Great
Britoiuso Flou.

Trade In Human Beings Under Great
Britoin's Flag.
Great Britain's consul at Pemba, near
Zanzibar, tells. in his report to his Gov
ernment, some strange facts about the
prevalence of slave trading under the
British flag. Pemba is IN isolated de-
tendency of Zanzibar, lying some miles
N. N. E. of it, which passed under
British protection with Zanzibar itself
ut the time when Hcligoland was cedel
to Germany us a price for her acquies.
in this arrangement.
1t is indeed n picture of helpless SUI.
fering that the consul draws in de.
scribing the present condition of the
slave in Pemba. The Arab proprietore
are ineXorably stern and eXacting task
masters. The slave Is a chattel, a beast
Of burden. He lives in what may, by
courtesy, be called n hut. He is allow.
ed to till a small portion of the land for
his WI superior two days of the
week. The remaining five lie devotes to
work for his masters benefit.
But not all the year through. When
the harvesting of the staple product of
the island comes round, the picking of
cloves, and labor is more than usually
valuable, the slave works for his mas.
ter seven days in the week, being gen
erously allowed to retain for himself
the third part-in some cases two
thirds-of the fruits of his labor on
Thursday and Friday.
And so this miserable drudge lives his
weary life. until his strength is exhaust
ed; and then. when his arms are power
less to labor, and his legs refuse to a
~ him; when his back is bent, and he
is, though young in years, a decrepit old
man, his Arab master turns him out Of
his hut, deprives him of his plot of land,
and discards him-a WORKOUT instru-
ment for which he has no longer any
use.
Such is the picture-no fancy one, or
highly colored-of the African slave
who lives in a British p~rotectorate.
On the island the slaves die like flies,
and yet there is always an abundant
supply Of them. Where do they come
from? 1t will scarcely be asserted that
they voluntarily intrust their lives to
the tender mercies of the Arab slave
master. In this part Of the world the
slave trade is still, ut any rate, a -four
ishing institution.

More than thirty years ago Louis
Davenport, Of Mosier, Ore, was robbed
Of 5000 worth of gold dust. He was
never able to recover the amount nor
to learn the identity Of the thief. 1t
now tranpires that the person who
took the gold is dying and that he has
made a will in which he provides that
the original 5000 shall be paid to Mr..
Davenport, together with interest at

taken until 1t shall have been paid. It
will amount to over $4,000.

Revenue WIN Be- provtded.

4ASNGA1sS - O0
Some OF the papers are making hys-
terical appeals to the President-elect
not to Gull an extra session of Congress
for the purpose of passing n revenue
bill. They say that n large number Of
Democrats voted for him, and, there
fore, the tariff ought not to be reformed
on protection lines. These journals
should study the treasury statements.
They would then be in better condition
to give advice. The deficit for this
month is already more than seven mill
ions of dollars, and If all that belongs
to this month is included in the months
expenses. 1t may be double that amount
before the first of December. This will
| give some notion of the general deficit,
and the paramount need of revenue leg
islation. The Government must have
funds to pay its daily expenses, or there
will be a recurrence of the distrust
which upset finance and business.
Out of the large amounts borrowed
by Mr.. Cleveland's administration, in
round numbers, about $4,000 10000,
there is left, perhaps, enough, with the
aid of the receipts from the Wilson bill,
to run the. Government until the first
of July, 1897, and then, unless Congress
passes q revenue bill meanwhile, more
bonds must be sold, and the foolish pol.
icy of the present administration re.
vived. The present venue act is a
piebald affair, III incongruous mixture
of protection and free trade, which em-
bodies all the defects of both systems,
but its worst feature is that 1t does not
provide the Government with enough
money to meet its current expenses.
But, say these papers, the Democrats
voted the Republican ticket, and, there
fore, the Cleveland policy should pre-
vail-rather n queer. conclusion under
the circumstances. The Democrats de-
serve credit for severing party ties and
voting as their co%nsciences dictated,
but If they expected a Republican adj
ministration to do as they wished, they
certainly do not deserve any credit
whatever, for they did nothing but
| what was agreeable to them, and there
was no merit in their act. AS a fact,
they voted the Republican ticket, know
ing full well what the Republican pol
icy was. They voted to save them
selves and their belongings from de-
struction, and they felt that the Repub-
lican party was their only hope. Their
confidence was based OF the past action
Of the Republican party, a part Of
which was its thoroughly practical and
American management Of the revenue
question.
We don't think the President-elect or
his advisers will be moved by these
hysterical appeals. They may be moved
to laughter, but not to tears Or fears.
The country Is sorely in need Of reve-
| nue., and it will be provided as soon af-
ter the fourth Of March as expeditions
legislation can furnish it.-Baltimore

ANXIETY is ASSUMED.
DEMOCRATS NOT SINCERE IN
clAMoR FOR REFORM.
Their Present Hysterics Are Counter.
felt and Are INDUCED In for the
Purpose of Putting Republicans In q
Hole-Republican Press Comment.

Democratic and the Rcveuuess
Democratic organs are becoming seri-
ously disturbed about the deficiency in
the Governments revenues, and insist
that it should be met ut once. These
organs IRE supporters Of the adminls-
tration. 1t is passing strange that they
have so recently made the discovery of
the evils growing out Of insufficient
revenue. These evils have existed for
several years-in fact, ever since the
passage of the Wilson tariff bill. They
are not new, and they are not us HARM
full as they have been. The browning
evil was the passage Of a revenue bill
which did not provide the requisite rev
enue. This led to the borrowing Of
money at u%surious rates Of interest, the
weakening of public confidence and the
periodic runs on the treasury's gold re-
serve, but the people have decided to
place the Republican party in charge of
affairs, and the country is rapidly re-
covering from the effects of bad states
manship.
Gold Is accommodating in the treasury,
confidence has been to a large extent
restored, and the remnants of the nor
nous loans effected by Mr.. Cleveland
will meet the deficiency until q Repub-
lican administration has had time to
pass q proper revenue law. If the DEM
Ocrats are so much alarmed about the
deficiency, they have it in their power
to meet it and wipe it out. They can do
this within a month. They have a pig
eon-holed bill, prepared and passed by
the Republicans of the House at the last
session, in response to the almost pan
icky demand of the President. 1t was
n temporary expedient, passed US such,
and was only intended to ove q GER
tain period, and may, therefore, need
revision in some particulars, but it will
stave off IN imaginary crisis just us
well as any bill that the Democrats can
prepare. They have only to rescue this
measure from the parliamentary entan-
clement in which they involved it and
pass 1t, and there will cease to be a de-
ficiency during the interval between the
regular sessions of Congress.
But they have not the slightest idea
Of taking such a step. The anxiety Of
the Democratic organs Is assumed.
Their Mysteries are counterfeit. They
would like to put the Republicans In q
hole. and II they cannot do that they
hope to produce an unfavorable impress
sion on the public mind. They will do
neither the one o the other. The
Republicans have done all in their pow
er to relieve the present administration
from the embarrassments into which it
deliberately plunged, and nothing more
will be done until the party gets control
Of the government and becomes actual
" responsible for the management Of
pubic affairs.-Springfield Union.

BRYAN should Study This.

While Bryan Is receiving the con-
CALCULATIONS of his free-silver friends
1.-THE mining States for not being elect
ed, wheat has quietly slipped up to u
dollar. This ought to be an awful blow
to the Boy Orators se~lf-suficiency. His
plea during the campaign was that, as
silver advanced in price so wheat would
advance, and vice versa, and by adopt
ing free silver coinage the farmers
would get q dollar. for their wheat, or
more. The sudden and rapid advance
Of wheat about midway the campaign
while silver continued to drop gave Bry-
an a body blow and temporarily knock
ed the pith out Of his eloQuence, but
lie soon recovered his volubihty and
evolved from his prodigious imagina-
ton some explanation Of the phenome-
pon.
But free silver has now been over
whelmingly defeated. There is no more
hope Of its adoption than Of any Of the
hare-brained theories that have run
their curse and been filed away in the
pigeon holes of memory, and yet wheat
persists in going up until it has reached
= dollar a bushel. Many thousands of
Intelligent persons predicted that wheat
could never again reach that price, and
they had plausible grounds for believ-
ing so. But Bryan was going to bring
It up with free silver. Possibly he
would have brought it up in this coun-
Try, but the price would have been paid
In deprecated currency. Wheat, at q
Bryan dollar per bushel, would have
been worth fifty cents, but wheat now
ts worth a hundred cents. Free silver
aidn't have anything to do with the
Else. The law Of supply and demand ar-
ranged it.
