out Chamberlain's Colo, Cholera ann
Diarrboea Remedy ~ says j. X. Adams, a
we'll known druggist, OF Geneva, Ala, in
a letter inquiring the price of a dozen
bottles, that he might not only have it for
use in his W family, but supply it to his
neighbors. The reason some people get
along without It, ia because they DO not
know Its value, and what a vast amount of
suffering it will save, Wherever it be-
com es known and used, it is recognized as
q necessity. for it is he only remedy thai
can always be depended upon for bowel
complaints, both Cor children and adults.

A SENSIBLE, good rule and a good
sensible policy for the physicians to
observe is to furnish the local papers
with the news OF births, and the min
listers to send or hand In the notices Of
marriages or deaths, where their SER
vices we're rendered. This plan, il
adopted, would help the newspaper
men very much and give them an OPP
p%ortunity of publishing many items at
the proper time which otherwise are
often unavoidably omitted.

This is an old Latin maxim, often
in the mouths of lawyers. 1t means,
He gives twice who gives promptly"
1t has been true in all ages of the
world; it is as true to-day as it was in
the far-off Roman days when the wis
dom of the people was coined into the
phrase.
But never in any age, or among
any people, has it ever been so true
so vitality true-at it is to-day with
reference to pensions.
1t is now 80 years since Lee and
Johnston surrendered, and virtually
ended the war. The men who COM
PEELED those surrenders by their OBJ
stinate valOr were then in the pride
of their youthful strength and man
hood. They are now all OF them past
the meridian of life, and very many
far too many-are utterly broken
down by the terrible strains and hard
ships of their service 1t is now that
these drafts they then drew on their
young strength must be hOnOred with
heavy interest SO long as they were
young, they could force forgetfulness
of their days and nights under the
burning sun, in the freezing sleet, the
biting wind, in the morasses of the
Mississippi, and the malarious swamps
OF the Carolinas. But they cannot
force such forgetfulness to-day, when
age has Slapped their forces.
They can no longer afford to wait
for the Nations justice for the fulfill
ment of the promises made to them
when their services We're urgently
needed.
Time is now everything with them.
To promise them relief at some future
period is the cruelest mocllery. Their
aches and pains-their weakness and
disability are not in the future-they
are in the actual present, and so
should be their relief. So must be
their relief, if it be worthy the name
At least 100 of them die daily. How
vain, then, talk of relief next year,
when thousands of them will never
see next year? AS we'll talk to the
Mississippi sufferers of helping them
next year.
These men want, need, and should
have relief just as soon as it can be
extended to them. One dollar given
them now is better than many dollars
promised at some time in the future
The imperative rule in pension mat
ters should be:

PEOPLE who are complaining that
the business conditions of 1892 have
not yet resumed should remember
that a tariff bill cannot be framed
and passed in a minute or a month.
1t was eighteen months after Grover
Cleveland became President before
the Wilson tariff bill was a law, but
there is good reason to believe that
the Dingley bill will become law in
less than eighteen weeks after the in
auguratiOn of William Mckinley, and
less than half that time has not yet
passed. Until the bill can pass and
the country has time to absorb the
enormous mass of goods now being
rushed in by foreign importers, it is
unreasonable to expect a resumption
of activity by the manufacturers or
consequent prosperity among the
masses who will be affected by that
activity.
