Its well known fact that peddlers
do nothing to help "a town. He comes
and goes and gives nothing to charity
or to our churches or other organiza-
tions. You are swindled by them and
you have no other recourse but to grin
and bear it. They have no place of
business where you can go and de-
mand full value for your money. Hay-
ing no reputation to sustain they can
do about as they please and it is time
for the public to give them the cold
shoulder. Instead of patronizing these
itinerant merchants you should make
your purchases of home merchants,
men who help build up the town, men
who help support our churches,
schools and other enterprises. They
are the people worthy of your patron
age, and as they have reputation to
sustain you are sure TO receive proper
treatment. If unable to secure your
wants at home then the merchants in
other towns may be able to supply you.
In this day and age when merchandise
stores are SO numerous, the peddler
should be relegated to the rear.

Does it Pay to send a Girl to oolIeges

Does it pay TO send a girl TO collegeg
Many well-to-do father, whose fami-
lily is living comfortably and spending
all he earns, and many hard-worked
mother, who wishes her daughter to
have some easier and more remunera-
tive occupation than herself, are anx-
iously bordering this question. After
many years of Investigation and OBJ
servation l can give but an oracular
answer, II pecunlary return be the
chief motive for sending girl to col
lege, / should say the venture Is as
risky as any other business invest
ment.
The necessary expenses at woman's
college are about $500 year. The
charges for board and tuition at Vas
sar and Wellesley are $500 year; at
Smith and Bryn Mawr, where there is
greater variety In the accommodations
the average price is about the same.
One hundred dollars is a reasonable
sum for books, class and club dues,
and necessary incidentals. Clothes and
travelling expenses depend upon the
individual. | have been told by a wo-
man of wide experience, and my own
observation confirms it, that college
woman is doing well If, upon gradua-
tion, she can obtain place to teach
for $500 year without board. A
teacher is obliged TO dress decently, to
live in respectable quarter of the
town, TO attend an occasional concert,
lecture or play, and she ought not to
be prohibited from buying books now
and then, or taking trip during va
cation. She must manage well if she
can do all this, even in small city,
on $500 year. OF course, unless she
is woman in comfortable circum-
stances, boarding at home, she hopes
for speedy promotion; but IL does not
always come. | know of women who
have taken advanced degrees at Amer
lean and foreign universities (and this
class is small enough TO make its serv-
ices valuable) who are filling subordi-
nate positions at $1,000 year, and are
unable to get any farther. Still, let
us always remember that there are two
women in this country who are paid a
salary of over $500 a month.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surface.

GIVE THANKS, Oh We PEOPLE.
rhe President has Issued the folIo " ing
Proclamation:

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. 4, 80.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
The people of the United States
should never be unmindful of the
gratitude they owe the God of nations
for His watchful care which has
shielded them from dire disaster and
pointed out to them the way to peace
and happiness. Nor should they ever
refuse to acknowledge with contrite
hearts, their proneness to turn away
from Gods teachings, and to follow
with sinful pride after their own de-
vices.
To the end that these thoughts may
be quickened, it is fitting that on a
day especially appointed, we should
join together in approaching the
throne of grace with praise and sup
plication.
Therefore, |, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, dc
hereby designate and set apart Thurs
day, the twenty-sixth day of the pres.
ent month of November, to be kept
and observed as a day of thanksgiving
and prayer throughout our land.
On that day let all people forego
their usual work and occupation, and,
assembled in their accustomed places
of worship, let them, with one ac-
cord, render thanks to the Ruler OF
the Universe for our preservation as a
nation and our deliverance from oul
threatened danger: for the peace that
has dwelt within our boundaries; fol
our defense against disease and pesti-
lence during the year that has passed;
for the plenteous rewards that have
followed the labors of our husband
men, and for all the other blessings
that have been vourhsafed to us.
And let us, through the mediation
of Him who has taught US how tC
pray, implore the forgiveness of oul
sins and a continuation Of heavenly
favor.
Let us not forget on this day OF
thanksgiving the poor and needy, anC
| by deeds of charity let our offerings Of
praise be made more acceptable in the
sight Of the Lord.
Witness my hand and the seal o.
the United States, which | have caus
ed to be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this fourth day of November, in tn,
year of our Lord, one thousand eighi
hundred and ninety-six, and of tn,
independence Of the Uuited States Of
America, the one hundred and TWEEN
ty-first. BY the President,

THE TITAN OF CHASNS.
A Mile Deep, 13 Miles Wide, 217 Miles
Long, and Painted Like a Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than IL hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engravings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free
upon application to Jno. j. Byrne,

MARK HANSA's INDICTMENT.
Report that the Dallas Grand Jury had
Found a True Bill Confirmed.

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. There is
no doubt of Hanna indictment. The
vote in the Grand Jury room stood
8 to 3. 1t takes votes to indiet.
The compromise was made like this /:
Eight jurors were positively in favor
of returning the bill at once. One
juror refused to vote for the bill un-
less its return into court was deferred
until after the election. In order to
get the necessary 8 votes the s 9th
ers compromised with the one who
demanded deferment and voted as
he requested on deferring-
The Grand Jury adjourned until
next Thursday. The bill is found
on a telegram from Mark Hanna
sent from Republican National
Headquarters to John Huston at
Texas Republican Headquarters in
Dallas, between October | and of
fering 100000 to Populist leaders to
secure the Populist vote of Texas for
Mckinley. Huston has not been in
dicted for the reason that up to date
no dispatches bearing his signature
have been obtained by the Grand
jury from the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. 1t is known. how
ever, that a telegram did go to Han
ma bearing the signature of John
Grant, National Republican Commit
teeman of Texas, saying:
Think can make deal Forty
thousand refused. Sixty thousand

1t is also known that Gould and
Rockefeller of New York, by their
representatives in kilograms offered
to contribute" $4,000 if the Popu-
list leaders Endorsed the Mckinley
electors, and 100000 additional if
Mckinley electors secured the vote
of Texas. More indictments are Ger
tain to be returned after the Grand
Jury resumes work next Thursday.

The Presidents Tesm of Office.

After every election of president an
agitation is started for lengthening the
term of office of the nations chief
magistrate, for the reason that a
presidential campaign is detracting
and depressing to business. This is
always true of presidential contest,
but the interference with industry has
been particularly marked in the cam
paign just closed. The usual uncer
tainty attending the outcome of a ma
tional election is sufficient to cause
men of capital to hesitate before put
ting their money into new enterprises
or enlarging existing ones. The dis
turbance to business has been unusual
ly severe during the last summer be-
cause the issue involved was one of
tremendous Importance to business
interests. But the difference between
this and other campaigns is simply one
of degree. With every recurring pres
idential election business must suffer
more or less.
These contests follow each other
too closely. II elections took place
less frequently business would be sub
ject to fewer disturbances from this
cause. ixyears is not too long a term
for the president of the United States
to serve, especially if it be understood
that he shall retire at the end Of that
time and not seek reelection to the
Office. A six-year term would give two
presidential elections in twelve years,
instead of three, as now. A four-year
term is too short. In the early days
Of the republic the objections were
not SO great TO the shorter term. Now
the very cost Of presidential campaigns
is an argument against having them
more frequently than to enable the
government to keep in touch with
the people.
In order to change the term Of the
president it would be necessary to
amend the constitution of the United
States, something which II is very difli-
cult to accomplish. But the change
| Is a desirable one, especially for the
business interests Of the country, and
| 1t IL to be hoped that before many
years It may be brought about.

The Decoy Ticket.


When, some weeks ago, Hon. John
NJ. Palmer and Hon. Simon Bolivar
Buekner were nominated for Presi-
dent and Vice President respectively,
by boiling Democrats at Indianapo-
lis, we yentured the prediction that
by the close of the campaign they
would be objects of almost universal
contempt and ridicule. We think we
may say this, morning that our pro-
phecy has been fulfilled flashing
ton Post, Ind.
There is Gods truth in that.
Palmer and Buckner can lie down in
peace, quiet and comfort in their po-
litical collins. As the Washington
Post put it, at no time during the
contest have they been seriously
considered for the places to which
they pretend to aspire. 1t has been
understood ON all sides that their
candidacy was absurd; that they
never would have been considered for
a fraction of an instant by any con-
vention representing real party;
that they were performing simply as
decoys to trap timid and unwary
Democrats and deliver them to Mr..
Hanna to swell the Mckinley pro-
cession. Nobody has regarded them
with respect No one has contribu-
ted to their fund except as a means
of promoting the Republican cause.
Nobody wanted to elect them. No
body offered them the poor travesty
of reverence and honor.
They have says the Washing
ton Post, gone through the country,
couple of transparent mountebanks
and mummers. Robert Macaire and
Jacques Strop themselves were not
more impudent impostors. 1t seems
incredible that they could have ex-
pected more than half contemptu-
GUS liberation, yet oftener than once
they have resented it with fury
that only made them more ridicu-
lous. They have, in fact, saddened
us with the thought that out of more
than seventy millions of people they
only have failed to realize their pitt
full predicament."
Bryan, defeated, will return to pri.
vate life, conscious of having made
the most gallant and most brilliant
fight that man ever made against
overwhelming odds. Both he and
Mckinley will retain the respect o.
the American people. Both will be
recognized by all their fellow-citi
zens as genuine gladiators in gen
uine arena. But these poor puppets
these make-believe champions of {
tinsel cause-they will, along with
their beggarly retinue of allies, the
Bynums, the Cockrans, and the sulk
ing Hills, pass from the stage with
out one cheering word or plying
tear, fortunate beyond their bes
deserts if they be forgotten utterly
The world forgives the man who viii
not vote against his conscience. L
never forgives and it is seldom able
to forget the man who plays The

Catarrh Means Danger.

Because If unchecked it may lead
directly to consumption. Catarrh is
caused by impure blood. This fact is
fully established. Therefore, it is
useless to try to cure catarrh by out
ward applications or inhalants. The
true way to cure catarrh is to purify the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great
blood purifier, cures catarrh by its
power to drive out all impurities from
the blood. Thousands of people tes-
tify that they have been perfectly and
permanently cured of catarrh byHood's
Sarsaparilla.
