Congressman Hepburn of Iowa is quot
ed as saying that there will be no radical
currency legislation by Congress- at its
coming session. That seems to be the
opinion of everybody who has given the
subject any considerable thought Indeed
it is the only conclusion one can come to
if he is acquainted with the financial
proclivities of the members OF the Sen
ate. Nevertheless tho currency commits
sion now in session in Washington will
not have assembled entirely in vain.
Whatever plan they agree upon will have
an educational value with the people,
and not until there is something like gen.
eral concurrence among the latter in re.

likely to be any radical action by Con

In reply to the question, "Do you recog-
nize ex-senator Hill as the Democratic
state leader?" Boss Croker is said to have
replied; 81 recognize Senator Murphy
as the state leader. He is a leader who
commands the respect of every Democrat
in the state. He is a level headed man. ~
This is ominous for Mr.. Hill. A man
who has the control of New York city in
his hands, as does Croker, is likely to
be able to decide who shall and who shall
not be the state leader. What he says is
likely to go. But Murphy is pretty poor
sort of leader.

The substantial unanimity with which
ex-Mayor Edwin U. Curtis carried the
Republican caucuses in Boston, is a hope
full sign. Boston is nominalIy Demo
cratic city, but in the last two state cleo
lions it has been carried by the Repuoli-
cans by good majorities With the Re-
publicans united as they seem to be, and
the Democrats divided as they are likely
to be between Mayor Quincy and Mr.

There was no state election in Kansas
this year, but the drift of politi cal opin-
ion is pretty accurately shown by aggre.
eating the results of the local elections
into most of which there entered to a
greater or less degree the general ques-
tions on which the national parties di-
vide. Last year the state gave q Populist
plurality of about 10, COO. This year. ag-
gregating tho local elections, the result
appears TO be a Republican majority in
the state of about 10000. The change
may be fairly credited to the prosperity
which Kansas has enjoyed the past year

The agitation in Spain against Sagas-
ta's proposal to grant tariff autonomy to
Cuba, appears to be increasing, and in
all probability.it is destined to give the
government good deal of trouble. Evil
IDENTIFY Weyler, though he processes loyal
ty, is doing what he can to intensity 1t
by his speeches in al of which he dwells
upon the necessity to Spain of keeping
control of Cuban trade. The government
has got to stand by it, however, or aban-
don its whole scheme of autonomy, for
with this feature eliminated there would
not be a ghost of a chance that the
Cubans would accept it.
The Portland daily press., 1897-11-26

The statement that President Mckinley
will recommend in his message that
nothing be done at present about Cuba,
has an air of probability. The Sagasta
ministry is trying a new method to
compose the island, in which copciliation
is prominent feature, and until it is
shown that it cannot be successful our
government would seem to be under a
moral obligation to refrain from inter-
ference

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Poems Now First Collected. By Ed
mund Clarence Stedman. Mr.. Stedman
needs no appe i, as in his preface, to the
bright Spirit of Song with grief for his
absence from her constant seryice)-that
is to say he needs none to prove himself
loyal disciple. Many exquisite lyrics
have already shown his allegiance, and in
this collection we find varied and beauti-
full melodies. He has the Greek simplic-
ity and is Greek in his literary affinities.
As has been pointed out. even when he
handles light themes they come from his
crucible poems not vers de societe. Lit
erature is vastly indebted to Mr.. Stedman
for his criticism and anthologies, but it
demands his songs and sonnets as we'll;
his original, creative work. His love
songs were always exquisite, and in the
present volume there are occasional apd
commemorative verse.
Mr.. Stedman's poems have been antic-
ipated eagerly, and they create an event
amongst new books. (Boston and New

A Needed Change Of Law.

DR.. Ben. Blackford, Superintendent
of the Western State Hospital of this
city, in his annual report just made
recommends change in the mode of
committing a lunatic. The present
mode is to have the inquiry made by
three justices, but this is SO absurd
that it has for years been subject of
ridicule. All that was ever said in it's
favor was that it was a mode, and as
we had no other it has been allowed to
disgrace our statute books ever since
it was passed. 1t should be changed
and the duty devolve upon some one
who knows something about what con-
stitutes lunacy. AS it stands persons
have often been sent to asylums by
three men who were themselves only
once removed from idiots.

Deafness Cannot ba Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way tocure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inf1amed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
