Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Fdstachian Tube
When this tube gets infsmed you have
a rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result and unless the infamation can
be taken out and this restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroye
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh which is nothing but an in :
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars, for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

Hon. Garret A. Hobart.

I New Jersey has never had candi-
date that has aroused so much en-
thusiasm from one end of the state
to the other as that of Garret A..
Hobart, the Republican nominee for
Vice President Even among Demo
Gratis the feeling of State pride out
weighs party consideration and
many viii vote for him out of ap-
probation of the honor accorded the
State by the National Convention in
selecting him as McKinley's running
mate. Party lines in New Jersey
have not been closely drawn for sew
ernl years and their is every indica-
ton that this year the Democratic
vote will be Insignificant and the
vote for Mckinley and Hobart will
sweep the State as a political
cyclone. Mr.. Hobart was prominent-
ly mentioned for Governor two. wears
ago and THB INQUIRER with other
papers urged his selection, but he
did not want the Office and turned
over all his strength to John w.
Griggs, who received the nomina-
tion mostly through his efforts and
was triumphantly elected by the
people. The selection of Mr.. Ho-
bart is q great honor to New Jersey
and to the party and the Grand
Old County of Monmouth his birth
place. Especially in this County was
his nomination received with delight
anG the National Ticket will un-
doubtedly sweep the County, result
ing ina large majority, as Mr.. Ho-
bart is well-known and almost every
voter, irrespective of party will take
especial pride in helping one of her
own sons to the Vice Presidency. as
the State would have done had that
distinguished Democratic statesman
the late ex-Gov. Parker, been honor
ed with the Vice Presidential nomi-
nation by the Democratic party.
Monmouth is more than pleased with
Mr.. Hobart's nomination and we are
especially pleased because THE IN
quirer, was one of the first news
papers, if not the first to mention him
for the position and did earnest
work to secure his nomination.
Hurrah for our next Vice President
Hon. Garret A. Hobart, one of
Grand Old Monmouth's honored
sons.

THE DESERTED VILLAGE.


WHIST q Stranger Foun0 When hs NoN8ut
the New Women
The old man had entered Bloomerville
to transact a little business with the pew
women. He was little surprised to find
that the omnibus line to the depot had
temporarily suspended business for no ap-
parent reason, but he made the best OF the
situation and tramped up to the hotel,
carrying his own valise.
Just as he entered the hotel he met the
proprietress coming out, evidently In q
great hurry.
ssPut your name on the register and
make yourself at honei" she called back
to him as she hurried down the street.
He looked around for the clerk, but the
clerk had put up a sign saying that she
would be back in two hours and had gone
out ahead of the proprietress.
Never mind, y he said to himself. 1.-The
little business that I have totransact with
the city officials can be- attended to in
half hour, and then Tn go back where
they make some pretenseof having accom-
modations for strangers: I'll get my boots
shined and go over and SEQ the mayor.
But there wasn't girl left In the boot
blacking establishment, and he had to do
the work himself. Then it began to be
apparent to him that he was alone in the
hotel Every woman connected with 1t,
including the barmaid, the porters and the
little bellgirls, had suddenly gone.
He walked over to the city hall and
found that also deserted. Even the streets
seemed oppressive in consequence of the
lack Of life. On the door OF the mayors
office he found note saying that she would
be back In two or three hours, but most Of
the officials had neglected to leave any
message whatever, and the chief Of police
had gone away in such a hurry that she
had left some of tho cells unlocked.
A solitary, gray haired man sat on the
steps of the city hall and watched the new
arrival with considerable interest,
s.Won't none o. them be back afore
dark, " he said at last
"But the sign says in two hours, pro-
tested the new arrival.
aPooh Did ye ever know woman
that knowed anythin about time when
she got to shoppins"
But they can't all be shoppingl"
Cant, ehS Stranger, you don't know
nothin about this town or its officers. A
man in the next township sent boy over
here about an hour ago with a lot o. hand
bills advertisin millinery openin, an this
here town suspended business to oncet. -

Hon. John M. Thurston, United
States Senator, of Nebraska, upon
being elected permanent chairman
OF the Republican National Conven-
ton, at st. Louis, June II, made g
brief address ringing with American
sentiment, from which we extract
the following:
This generation has had its OBJ
iect lesson and the doom of the
Democratic party is already pro
nounced. The American people will
return the Republican party to pow
er because they know that its ad-
ministration will mean:
The supremacy of the constitu-
tion of the United States.
1.-The protection of every Ameri-
Can citizen IN his right to live, and
labor and vote.
THE restoration of our merchant
marine.
Safety under Stars and Stripes on
every sea, in every port.
"a revenue adequate for all Gov
ernmental expenditures and the
gradual extinguishment of the
national debt.
Protective Tariff which protects,
coupled with reciprocity which re-
ciprocates, securing American mar
kets for American products, and
opening American factories to the
free coinage of American muscle.
1.-THE protection of the people
from all unlawful combinations and
unjust exactions Of aggregated capi-
tai and corporate power.
"A deathless loyalty to all that is
truly American and q patriotism
eternal as the stars.

Hon. Thomas McEwan was one
of the most pronounced in wanting
the delegates instructed at Trenton
and proved the only one in the dele
cation opposed to the selection of
Hon. Garret A. Hobart for Vice
President, hut he did not let his feel
ings influence him to vote against
Mr. Hobart, when he found the Nc
Kinley people were also in favor of
New Jerseys candidate. The wis
dom of sending the delegates unin
structed has been fully exemplified in
the nomination of New Jersey can
didate for Vice President. An at
tempt was made at the Congressional
Convention at New Brunswick to
instruct the delegates and the wig
dom of those who opposed the move
ment has also been vindicated. We
do not believe in instructing dele
gates to conventions as a rule for
when they are instructed they are
looked upon as mere figure-heads
and the influence of the section they
represent is sometimes sacrificed in
an attempt to carry out their in
structions. Then again things may
change materially from the time the
primary is held until the conven-
tion and it might be advisable for
the delegates to vote for the nomina-
tion of persons who were not candi-
dates at the time the primaries were
held. The delegates to the National
Convention, headed by Gen Sewell
did noble work at st. Louis. and all
the more should they be praised for
their efforts in carrying out the will
OF the Republicans of New Jersey
without the tag of instructions hav-
ing been placed on them to detraet
from their influence in working for
the nomination of Mr.. Hobart for
| Vice President.
