The flower congress recently held
at Ashville, N. c., could not agree
on the selection of a national flower.
National flowers are not chosen by
deliberative bodies, but grow out of
some national event. The sham
rock of Ireland, the Scotch thistle,
the lilies of France all have their
traditions. The United States will
never have an acknowledged ira
ditional flower or national emblem
selected from the floral kingdom.
The poetry of a cruder civilization
has gone along with knight errentry,
for ever. We live in a realistic age,
an age in which gold and greed
burn the romance out of the hearts
of the people.

CHANGES IN HALF A CENTURY.
Striking Difference in Conditions Between
Germany and tho United States.

Striking Difference in Conditions Between
Germany and tho United States.
Here is a very curious incident which
places the difference between the home
life of Germany and America in start
ling contrast,
About so years ago, when Anton Web
Der was boy, he secreted in the attic
a pair of pistols. They were valuable
because they had been used by his ia
ther during the Napoleonic wars. The
pistols were in danger of being sold and
SO the boy Anton confscated and hid
them. The affair was, of course, for
gotten in the course of time. and Anton
came to America to seek fame and for
tune.
Half century has passed, and year
ago Anton had strong desire to visit
his native land and the old home of his
childhood. He found erything I'M
changed, the house in good repair and
still occupied by the remnants of the
family. Recalling the story of the pis-
tolls, he visited the attic one day and
after a good deal of rummaging found
them just where he had hidden them.
He holds them, naturally, as very
sacred relic, and probably money could
not buy them. If they could tell their
story they would have a great deal to
relate that would startle and interest.
But such an incident could not pos
sibly occur in this country. Nobody,
literally nobody, lives where he lived so
years ago. The old residences down
town have changed hands a dozen times
or been torn down to make way for
commercial enterprises. The popula-
ton has flowed northward in sort of
tidal wave and there is not relic left
of the earlier days. Our restlessness
comes from our prosperity. The peo-
pie have been crowded out of the old
localities in order to make room for
hogsheads ofsugar and bales of woolens.
But in Germany so years in some Sec
tions make no perceptible change. The
old house still stands, the family still
reside in it and when the newcomer of
three score years looks for something
he left in the attic when a boy he finds

Hare and Hounds Race.

The hare and hounds bicycle race
which started from Oxford last
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock had
five participants. Otis Cooper of
Rising Sun was one of the hares
and reached this place at 2:42. He
took a header at the stone school
house and came into town with a
skinned face and his front wheel
reversed. After procuringa wrench
and Strengthening his wheel and
handlebar he started for Gathers
Corner, with the hounds only two
minutes behind. He was Oveptaken
by II. II. Bowden about a mile
from the Brick. The race was
then between Bowden and Hilaman
for first in. The latter won by a
few inches. The run led over a
rough circuitous stretch of %!
miles and was made in 1 hour and
~ minutes. The first prize was a
gold watch chain.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. ]. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to tea.

and mucous surfaces of the system. They

" COARSE DOLLARACY. "

"Behind Mckinley" it says,
care the trusts which, safe within
the ring fence of protection, will
monopolize so many necessaries OF
life, bringing huge tax to the
helpless consumer. The rule OF
coarse dollarocracy has had it's nat
ural effect in widespread class
hatred, discomfort, savage indus
trial conflicts and universal desire
among the poorer classes for a short
cut, even if a desperate one, out of
their bondage. The next four years
will give chance to organize the
army of the discontented."
The article finishes with this SEN
timent: "For the sake of the great
nation which Englishmen all sin
cerely admire, it is to be hoped the
next act of the great drama will not
be fierce struggle of the classes
against the masses, which pessa
mistic prophets predict, but omens
point that way" The Westmin-
ster Gazette says:
HOT SHOT FOR TRUSTS.
"Something must be done to nit
igate the social war into which, as
these elections have shown us, the
United States have been too rapidly
drifting. But what else is to be
expected when single trust is per-
mitted by a stroke of the pen to
raise the price of coal by 6 shillings
a ton to the inhabitants of New
York, just when the winter is set
ting in? The trusts and gold bugs
have had their scare and we sin
cerely hope it will not be forgotten"
The Star warns Mckinley not to
abuse the power put into his hands,
or he may cause reaction by
which the disaster which the
country and the world has escaped
in 1896 may overtake all in 1900.
O'Connon, in the Sun, says that
Bryan's hospitality to the trusts,
rings and monopolies which hold
the people of the great Republic in
such cruel bondage, deserves whole
hearted applause.
These are surprising statements
to find in newspapers that for ten
months refrained from any and all
criticism of the United States as if
by solemn, formal agreement. AS
to what portions of them are true
let those who are at home in
America decide. Also let them
decide how much of sudden dis
covery of an excuse for Bryan's
existence may be ascribed to dis
like for Mckinley, whose very
name smells to high heaven when
ever free trade is maintained.

1t is often the forerunner of serious ILL
