Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local application as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by .constitu-
tiorlal remedies. Deafness Is caused by an IN
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness ia
the result. and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an lnflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We Will give One Hundred Dollars for anv
case Of Deafness caused by ea.arrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

harm is not likely. The fact is there has
never been any prospect worth talking
about that England would agree to do
anything substantial for silver. Very
likely she may agree, out of courtesy to
this country, to an international con
ference but if she does her delegates to it
are sure to be instructed in advance to
stand firmly for the gold standard. That
was their attitude in the last two confer
ences and there is no reason to believe

An adherent of Alderman Rounds ex-
plains in the Argus that the reason the
alderman wants his investigation of the
street commission held behind closed
doors is that he is afraid that open in
quiry might hurt the party. Mr. Rounds
affection for the party is something very
touching. We have seen Ward caucuses,
however, at which Mr.. Rounds was deep
ly in love with the other party, if any
thing could be inferred from the character
of the people who were shouting and
voting for him.

Apparently William G. Whitney is 60
ing to take hand in Democratic politics
IA New York this fall. That is the
natural explanation of the dinner he gave
the other night to some prominent New
York gold Democrats. What was said on
the occasion or what plans were formed,
if any, are matters IF guess work, but
the fact that Mr.. Whitney is going to take
off his coat this fall is itself interesting
and important, especially interesting no
doubt to the Bryan leaders in the Empire
State, like John C. Sheehan.

Who procured the publication of the in

question: That is question which is
frequently asked at Washington and

suspicion that the Hon. John W. Foster

good stroke of diplomacy. Others believe
for it. 1t is generally agreed that nobody
on this side of the water had anything to
do with it,

Possibly the fact that Mr.. Hanna is a
candidate for the Ohio Senatorship and
his claims are to be virtually submitted

motive of it, his attitude in the matter has
been creditable one.

The chances of President McKinley's

needed to delay it moment.

Mr.. James Bryce is an E~nglishman
whose judgment upon men and things
Americans have good reason TO respect.
He lately addressed a missionary meet
ing in London and gave his impress
sions of religious work In lndia-the
average Englishman in England either
sneers at missionary efforts Or is indif-
ferent. Mr.. Bryce declared that the
longer one stays in India the more one
has evidence that the future well-be-
ing of India. and above all extension,
permanence and quality of British in
fiuence over that country, depends
largely upon the progress OF missions.
Such testimony as this will have force
with persons who would regard mis-
sionaries themselves as prejudiced wit
nesses. 1t is peculiarly fitting that the
higher power of the Christian religion
should thus be recognized at a time
when British military and naval re-
sources and possibilities have been X
allied by jubilee demonstrations.
