A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many
persons with a severe attack of Ca
tarrh which in some respects resem-
bles the former. These individuals
suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with sore
ness in throat and stoppage of the
nasal passage, and in fact, are inca
pacitated for work of any kind for
days at time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been
used with the best results in such
cases. The remedy will give instant
relief.
SHOULD the Republicans elect two
Houses of Representatives in success
sion it would be rare phenomenon
in the recent history of their party.
Since 1879 they have secured ma
jority in only three Houses-namely,
in 1880, in 1888 and in 1894. They
were turned out in 1884 because Of
their tariff of 1888 in the Keifer Con-
gress; they were turned out In 1899
on account OF their Mckinley tariff;
andJwho shall say that they are not
preparing for a like fate in 1897, with
this new tariff menace as warning
to the people of what may be expect
ed from another Republican success.

To Our Correspondents.

To put two columns of matter in one
column of space is often the difficult task
that confronts the TRANSCRIPT on Friday
mornings, and flour regular correspondents
would send in their weekly news letters On
Thursday morning instead of a day later,
much of the difficulty would be obviated,
and we would be spared the very delicate
task of cutting" our co respondents and
they themselves would be spared the trial
of having their contributions mutiliated by
the ruthless hand of the editor, who is SO
discriminating and mercenary as to give
space to an advertiser who comes late in
stead of the correspondent whose letter
might have come earlier. We want the
news, all the news and the latest news es-
pecially, but we are convinced that our
weekly letters could, for the most part.
reach us day earlier, and if there are any
items of interest day later, send them on
in addition to the first letter. The adver-
isements are the very life of newspaper
and we cannot afford to neglect our adver-
tisers even for the best of correspondents.
We sympathize with the latter in their
chagrin and dismay at seeing. what to
them, was the best part Of their contribu-
tions, left out, and the surgeons knife is not
used with greater reluctance than is the
editors blue pencil upon certain letters
that are among the weekly contributions
to the TRANsoRI PTS budget of news. To all
such we say come earlier, and you'll fare
better, but if you cant come early come any
how. but don't scold if we "cut" you.

An editor Of a country paper is man who
tries to live on what other men owe him
and starves himself in the attempt, or gets
into some other business to keep him from
getting hungry. Subscribers are of two
classes; first, the good subscriber who pays
his subscription promptly and has an easy
conscience. Second the bad subscriber who
takes paper. says he likes 1T and tells
some one else to subscribe. After this man
has taken the paper for several years, the
poor editor sends him bill, asks him as
a favor for what is due, and the subscriber
either writes back not to send his old paper
any more, or else too cowardly, and too
mean to do that, refuses to take the paper
out of the office-Ex.

LOOK Ar YOUR LABEL,

The printed label on your paper shows
the date to which your subscription is paid.
The subscription price of the paper is dol
lar year, 1t the same rate for longer or
shorter time. Bills are sent out every six
months, in the paper as the postal law al
lows, but this is some expense and consid-
cradle trouble, and it would be favor if
every subscriber who is delinquent for a
longer or shorter time would not wait
for bills. How many will act on the sug-
gestion?
