Nervous

People often wonder why their nerves are
so weak; why they get tired SO easily:
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do net sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and
PalPitation of the Heart.
The explanation is simple 1t is found in
that impure blood which is coptin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of ST rens.b an,
vigor. In such condition opiste and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hoods SarsapariIla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, self
control, vigorous health, and is the
true remedy for all nervous troubles.

President Mckinley's New Rule

y
From the time when Chester A. Arthur
left the White House there has been
an unwritten law that the President
shall not pay visits except to his
Cabinet ministers This rule has been
strictly adhered to for many years. The
President has paid no calls and attended no
dinners given by Washington people, un-
less at the house of the Vice President or
a member Of the Cabinet.
President Mckinley, however, has step
pee over this rule, without seeming even
to know that it was there, as he has ,lone
with several other more or less flimsy and
unreasonable customs. He went to the re-
ceptiOn given TO Senator Morrill, the otler
evening, and seemed not to think that ne
was doing anything but what he ought 10
do, as surely he was not. Senator Morrill,
is one Of the venerable and honored figures
In public life, an d it is fitting that even
President should attend a reception given
in his honor. IL was a kindly and gracious
thing to do.
0f course the original reason of this rule
was not altogether that the President
might be placed on a pedestal, high above
all the people, for them to worship with
out hope of return, or to hedge him about
with un-AmeIican formality 1t was partly
that he might not be bothered with the
petty jealousies and forms Of society, in
addition to his arduous public work. 1t
might reasonably be ar gued that if snail
circle of friends were singled out, among
whom the President moved with the free
dom he would use in his own home, not
only would others be Jealous but there
would be a little danger of a sort Of
kitchen cabinet. 1t mig mt be thought that
the rivalry of officeseekers to get within
official range of the President would be
enough, without adding TO these a multi
tude of tuft-hunters. But undoubtedly the
main reason was a sense OF due ceremony.
The Queen of England never visits sub
1cct, II Is not 10 De supposed lllat our
President is of less consequence than
England's queen; ergo, let our President
not visit a citizen.
But England and America are not the
same country. They are separated by
more than hundred years and the whole
Atlantic Ocean. President Mckinley evil
Gently thinks that il will not hurt his
dignity to mingle with the populace as
much as he can with safety. As to the
social complications OF the question, he
will probably steer clear of any such. His
tact and Kindness of heart are great, and
as in other emer gencies.

Maybe 1t Is a Biocrat.

Some of the Autocrat's personal fIiends
are beginning privately to complain that he
is getting altogether more than his fair
share OF obloquy and public condemnation
on account or his suppI ession of the House
of Representatives. They declare that Sc
we're criticism of his oomse comes with an
III grace from the DeHiocIauc party, some
OF whose representatives in the Congress
willingly and deliberately went into the
scheme with lin fIom the start. Beyond
that it is claimed for him tl.at he is acting
strictly under the orders OF the business
manager who has registered tie edict OF
the trusts and monopolies that nothing
shall even be considered in the Capitol NTH
the tariff robbery is complete, and they
have their piunder safely in sight.
The President lis credited with a desiIe
TO have something done about Hawaiian
:xation; but it is said that he may not
einthe matter, because Senator Hanna
been assured by the real governing
erof the country that the taIiff pound Of
flesh must be handed over on a gold plate
before it viii allow Mr. Mckinley TO make
any suggestions whatever.
All the foregoing may be true; but we en-
tertain horrible suspicion that, like most
inspired rumors and reports from the seat
of aUtocracy, all of it that is not tommy
reed is toInmyrot. 1t is just possible, of
course, that Senator Hanna ard the Auto
crat are pulling together, and thus that
they constitute kind of complex polit-
ical being in the nature of b-autocrat;
but that is little too much TO believe,
and. for the President sake. we decline to
believe it, officially at least, for the pres
ent. Because we want TO say, with convic-
tion, intensified by grief, that if the Au-
tocratie Shark OF the House turns out to
be a BOojum, and that particular sort Of
Boojum, why, then" the Executive will
swiftly an i silently vanish away and never
be heard from againI'

TRIED FITZsIMMoNs' BLOW.
Ernest Rcisner Has Probably Kill.
ed His Friend, Christian Schram.

New York, April 16. Christian Schram,
of 335 East Fifth street and Ernest Refs
ner, of 139 Pitt street, bakers, went into
a Fourth street saloon last night to get a
drink. They began to skylark in the sa
loon and Reisner jokingly offered to show
how FitZsimmons Knocked out Corbett.
He drew back his left arm and, gathering
all his strength, struck at Schram, think
ing that he would dodge. Schram was not
quick enough and Resners fist struck
him in the pit of the stomach, and me was
knocked unconscious and went into con-
vu1sions. He was taken to Bellevue
Hospital.
Reisner was arrested later. Schram re-
covered consciousness about IL O'Clock and
identified Reisner. He said the blow was
administered in fun cnly.
