What They Represent.

AS candidate for the Republican
Presidential nomination Mr.. Reed
represents manly Barkis-like will =
ingness. He is so willing that he has
no opinions atpresent on any question
of pubic policy and is compelling
Congress to do as nearly nothing as
possible. What he thinks on curren :
cy, silver or anything else is carefully
kept to himself. Though a man of
intellectual gifts and culture, IN tenn
permanent he represents force rather
than reason, arrogant compulsion
rather than argument or persuation.
Mr.. Morton represents sound mon
ey and orderly respectability. He is
the candidate of Wall street, and as
such is unlikely to receive support
from any quarter outside of New
York. He is Mr.. Platt's candidate,
and Mr.. Platt's men will vote for him,
but there is no sign that anybody else
will.
Allison represents the desire OF
Iowa to be the mother of President.
He has never held any idea very
strongly or advocated any policy very
persistently. Nobody knows precise
ly where he stands on any great pub
lie question today.
Quay's candidacy is of course a
jest. He owns delegation and is
ready for business"
Davis and Bradley are equally ab.
surd as serious candidates, and in
spite of the telegraphic twltter about
Harrison there is no reason to doubt
that the ex.President was entirely
honest when he took himself out OF
the race.
Mckinley, on the other hand, rep
resents both his party and its prin-
ciples. He is "shaky" on the silver
question because his party is so, and
he wants the votes of both sound
money and free silver Republicans.
But he is the recognized apostle and
exemplar of the doctrine of extreme
protection, the only doctrine on which
his party is agreed as upon political
principle. He represents too the av-
erage narrow mindedness of the party,
its intolerance and the grasping un-
intelligence of its masses in many
parts of the country.
He is the national leader of the Re
publican party, and it is therefore 60
ing to nominate him at st. Louis. -

Newspaper publishers contiguous
to the "Picturesque B. & O." from

are being reminded just now by the
financial misfortunes of Americas 's

that confronts the newspaper man
who for long or short period of time

the following from the pen of the
veteran editor of the Washington

every true newspaper man in the fol

EASTER SUNDAY this year comes on
April 5th. The establishment of the
Christian festivity of Easter, typical
of the resurrection of the Lord, was
a matter of much controversy in the
church for centuries, but was finally
established by the Gregorlan calender
adopted by the Roman church in 1852,
and Faster is always the first Sunday
after the full moon, which happens
upon or next after March 2lst, which
is the beginning of the ecclesiastical
year. Therefore the earliest date up
on which Easter may occur is March
22nd. If the full moon should fall
on March 2lst, Easter is the follow
ingSunday. The latest upon which
the festival may fall is April 25th. In
l76l and 1918 Easter fell on March
22nd, but this will not occur again in
this or the next century. In 1886 it
fell on April 25th, and it will do SO
again in 1918.

Our Foreign Trade, A Good
Showing.

Showing.
The latest Treasury statistics show
that exports of domestic merchandise
during the month of February
amounted in value $76,366, 1856
against $54, 999, ,944 In February last
year, an increase of about $2l, ,400,-
900. The value of imports last month
was $62, 49,, ,29S. The excess OF ex-
port for the month, therefore, not
counting re-exports, was nearly $l4,.
100000 which is at the rate of $l6S,-
100000 a year.
For the eight months ending with
February the value of exports was
$590,269,590. This is abo@t $40,-
100000 more than for the same
period in 1895, and at the rate OF
$685. 900 for the fiscal year. Dur.
ing the eight months exports exceed
ed imports by SCI, ,4O2, ,2O7, or at the
rate of about $685. 900 a year. II
appears, therefore, that excess of ex-
ports IN February was much above
the average for the eight months
Exports, therefore, are gaming on i'm
ports and may be considerable more
than $2OO,OOO,0OO in excess for the
entire fiscal year. Thus events are

-'a-demon Of sickness-constipa-
ton, is an easy enough thing to cure if
you take the right medicine. Constipa-
ton is one of the commonest things in the
world. 1t is really one of the most seri-
Gus things. Fully nine-tenths of all the
ordinary sickness Of mankind is due to
this one cause. If you place an obstruc-
ton in the gutter, it will stop the flow OF
water, and gradually a mass of poison
Gus, putrefying matter will accumulate.
That is exactly what happens in the
digestive organs when constipation be-
gins. Poisonous matter accumulates and
IS forced into the blood. 1t goes all over
the body and causes all sorts of symp-
toms. A few of these are dizziness, fiatu-
lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches,
loss of appetite, loss of sleep, foul breath,
distress after eating, biliousness and erup-
tions of the skin. These things are un-
pleasant, but they are not serious. The
serious things come afterward. Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are for the cure
of constipation. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, easy to take, mild and
efficient in their action. One is gentle
laxative, two a mild cathartic. There is
nothing else in the world like them.
There is nothing that takes their place.
There is nothing just as good" although

sometimes tell you so for their own profit.
