The grand jury found indictments against
Councilmen Hay and Ford. of FAN River.
Mass, for soliciting brides.
The Portland daily press., 1897-01-26

The ways and means committee have
as yet discovered no way of greatly
checking the heavy importatioEs which
are looked for in anticipation of rise
in duties. and there is little chance that
they will succeed in finding any. A
retroactive provision in the law would
be the most effective prevention, but the
oonstitutionality of that is SO doubtful
that the committee will hardly feel
justified in adopting it. Of course the
stock ing up of the market with foreign
goods delays for a considerable time the
action of increased protective duties,
and home industry does not get the good
effect SO soon as it otherwise would.
But there seems to be no way to avoid
this delay. The committee will abandon
the ad valorem system wherever possible
and substitute specific duties. This
change of itself will be equivalent to a
considerable increase in duties, as fraud
ulent valuation under the ad valorem
system has let in great many goods at
a much lower rate of duty than was
really intended by the authors of the
Wilson law. The bill will probably be
ready to submit to Congress soon after
the fourth of March, and It's passage is
not likely to be seriously obstructed.

All Providence is talking about the
wonderful cure of Rowland Afford, af
ter being declared inourable by the best
hospital.
Frost Rheumatism cure stands today
the only true cure for this awful dis
ease in every form. including sciatica,
lum bago, muscular rheumatism and
govt. Physicians even admit it.

Gentlemen-Youh have done for me what
none of the doctors here have done.
They told me | should never get any
better. My sufferings date back from
June 1894. While at my work the 18th
of that month, was taken with had
pains in my back, which later spread
over my hips ard ran down both legs.
After about three months the pains left
my right leg, but got worse in my back
and left leg.
At the time was taken sick went
to doctor and he said it WAS 1umbago
and sciatica. He treated me for three
months with no benefit I went to anoth-
er doctor and was under his care about
five months, He did me no good. |
then thought I would try electricity,
and went to professor, but got worse if
anything. 1 also took massage but that
also failed to afford me any relief. Later
I went to vegetarian doctor and was
treated by him for two months. Why,
you could almost see through me by this
time without an X-ray. then got SO
bad I had to go on erutches. The next
doctor I went to said he could not do
much for me, and advised me to so to
the Rhode Island hospital, and went
there on April is, 1895, and stayed just
one month. They told me they could do
nothing for me, 80 l came home again,
and later tried two more doctors with the
same old story, "you will never get any
better as long as you live I said !
would try once more, SO ssnt for another
doctor, and he said, 81 can do you no
good" then said would see If / could
cure myself.
/ tried the following patent medicines
and gave them fair trial. By this time

hip bulged out like a bow. used six

A New York syndieare stands ready to
purchase the government interest In
the Pacific railroads at SIS cents on the
dollar, and apparently the admlnlstra-
ton stands ready to sell it at that price.
The trade, if consummatea, will involve
a loss to the government Of $4,000. 600.
The Springfield Republican denonnces the
trade as reckless and unnecessary sur
render of the peoples holdings in these
roads, and thinks much more may be got
for the governments interest. u nfortu-
Iately the Republican fails to point out
the process By which the government
can do BETTER. Purchasers Of railroads
are not abundant. and if the government
rejects this offer it is very doubtful If
it will get another at all. Of course the
government can take the road and
run it, but it's loss under this method
WOULD probably in the long ran amount
to more than $23, 600, 900.

It is reported that the Bodleian Library
British Museum, has to be supplied with
a copy of every work published, is again
cramped for room. A long time ago the
library itself could hold no more books
and the Radcliffe Camera WAS called into
ths service of the librarian. That got
full and then the BASEMENT of the Shell
donian Theatre was obtained. This is
also full now, and the basement of the
Ashmolean Museum is now home for
what would otherwise be homeless books.

marriage licenses for seven. as he ts not
permitted to esrouse more than that
number of wives by the Mohammedan
law. There is family tradition among
the heirs Of Osmau that 1T is necessary
for them to speak in loud voice, origi-
mating probably from the habit of terri
flying their subjects and inspiring feel

tanned its position as the biggest thing in

Mr.. Laurier was chosen premier of the
Dominion largely because of his promise
and that of his party to bring about
closer trade relations with the United
States. But it is much easier to promise
than to perform in this case. Canada
could undoubtedly get closer trade rela-
tiops with the United Statss by disorim-
mating against British goods in our
favor. but Great Britain would hardly
assent to such policy as that. But that
seams to be an essential condition to
much closer commercial relations be-
tween this country and the Dominion.

(Boston Advertiser. f,

(B0SG0u AuV6rUlSer.
The sentiment of the people CT the
United States in favor of internationa
arbitration il the result of experience
and sound judgment. 1t is inspired by
the belief that the United States can well
afford to undertake such method for
the settlement of International disputes.
1t is probable that public opinion will
favor arbitration treaties not alone with
Great Britain but with all the civilized
powers Of the world, if-such treaties can
be- secured. The American people would
not shrink from war in self-defence OF
in defence of the proper interests of this
country in this hemisphere; but if right
and Justice can be secured by better
methods it is surely the part of wisdom
to favor peace.
