This is an age where most people
are trying to get something for moth
ing. The point is illustrated in a re-
cent literary episode in Paris. A well
known writer had been engaged TO
write a romance at the rate Of franc
a line. He didn't care to bother with
the actual work, and sub-let the con-
tract to a we'll known collaboration at
twenty-five confines a line. After the
second or third publication, the party
of the first part learned with horror
that his assistant was dying He hur-
riedly read up the first installments Of
the story. finished it out and turned in
the manuscript. "Oh, l see said the
editor. you are going to change it;
you remember, you sent in the last
chapters last week The understudy
had again sub-let the contract for ten
centimes a line. and was dying in
peace. The literary gentleman with
whom the original contract had been
made got out of it adroitly, and the
story was finished.

soMMERNACHTSFEST
And Concert of the Opera House Orchestra
Last Night.

And Concert of the Opera House Orchestra
Last Night.
The annual concert and sommer-
nachtsfest of the Opera House Orches-
ira was given last night at the Wneel-
ing Park Enclosure. The popularity
of this musical organization, and the
high class of all of its entertainments,
was attested by the large audience
which attended in spite Of the cool
weather and threatened rain. The af-
fair was a success in every respect.
The special motor over the w. & h. G..
road took out a large number at 1850
O'Clock. and there were special trains
after midnight.
The enclosure never presented a
more attractive appearance. 1t was
lighted by electricity and lanterns, ana
the seats and tables were arranged in
such a manner as to command a view
of the temporary platform built for the
band. The concert was successful from
an artistic standpoint, and many or
the numbers were warmly applauded.
All were excellently rendered. After the
concert the crowd took possession OF
the floor Of the Casino. and danced I'M
til o'clock this morning. During an
intermission at midnight, supper was
served in the Casino cafe. Both con-
cert and dance programmes have been
heretofore published in the Register.

What's the matter with the people
of Richmond, Va, that they object to
the Grand Army encampment? We
have understood that the war was
over. and certainly it would be a good
thing for Richmond and for the South
generally if a couple of hundred thou
sand northern people could be turned
into the late capital of the Southern
ConfederaCy. The young men of Rich
mond are enthusiastic about the mat
ter, and have a strong committee in
Buffalo. but the older citizens are vio-
lently objecting. This is not well.

What's the matter with our friend,
the IntelHgencer and its proposition
that the price Of sugar has not ad-
vanced? We regret its silence at
this particular moment, after ii had
gone TO the trouble Of questioning the
statements Of the Register. We beg
70 remind the IntelHgeneer, in a cas-
ual way, that the price Of sugar GER
Jifcates have advanced from los TO
100, which represents a net increase in
the value OF the stock Of that particu-
lar trust Of 100000. In other
words, sugar shares are worth SAT
more than they we're before the enact
ment Of the Dingley bill. We hope the

HOW ONE MAN LOOKS AT 1T.
A telegram from New York last
night said:
A telegram from Hotel Champlain,
n. Y, says:
President Mckinley stated last night
that il should be a source Of pleasure 10
every American citizen 10 know that there
was a return of prosperity TO the country.
The cause Of the present boom IN the
west he said. is undoubtedly Que III a
great measure to the large crops, ana
high prices caused by the failure OF crops
in other counties. But the tact th1t pIoS-
perity has set in in the East cannot De a b..
counted for in any other way thah Dy
the wise policy Of the Republican party
in restoring a protective tarln.
" The present boom is not spafmodlc
but will continue TO increase, and not only
the manufacturers. but the people gener-
ally will soon realize that II Is only WIN
a protective tariff and sound nnanclal
principles that the country VIII be pros
porous and remain in that condluon'
With the restoration OF connaeHce
will come a restoration OF prosperity
In this interview the President very
Justly says that the cause Of the pres
ent boom in the West is undoubtedly
due in a great measure to the large
crops, anu Ql6u pllCVo N""SNN ~
failure of crops in other countries.
That is eminently correct. But he is
mistaken in his surmise that the
prosperity" which has set in in the
East cannot be accounted for in any
other way than by the true policy Of
the Republican party in restoring a
protective policy" In the first place.
there is very little prosperity in the
East. outside of Wall street, and what
there is is mostly reflection from the
good crops in the West. In the sec
ond place, whatever of prosperity we
have is despite the protective policy"
~ the Republican party ana not pc
cause of it. We all hope that the
country will be prosperous and remain
in that condition" but we are very
much inclined to give Providence the
credit for what we are enjoying, and
not "the protective tariff" The Presi-
dent is too prone to jump at conclu-
sions.

AN ENQUIRY.

To the Editor Of the Register.
Sir:-In view of the fact that the
Intelligencer has been so persistent In
snarling and swapping at Mr.. Bryan
therby seeking to mislead the unwary,
please publish the following:
Will the Intelligencer have the hon
esty and fairness, after giving public
ity to a lying story, manufactured by
the enemies of truth, about Mr.. Stew
art. Senart from Nevada, having de-
serted the silver cause, to publish
the Senator's repeated denials Of such
story. which denials can be found in
the Silver Knight of August 18th, a
marked copy of which the Senator sent
me. and which is at the disposal OF the
Intelligencer if desired.
Yours for the rule of an honest
majority. >. HAh MAN

Since the Dingley bill went into
effect window glass has advanced 10
per cent. in price, which advance rep
resents 100000 profit on stocks on
hand. That is to say, this $780, 900
will be taken from the pockets of the
people and added to the profits of the
manufacturers. Meantime, these same
manufacturers are quibbling with
their workmen about wages, and a
strike is probable.

Intellligencer won't drop this httie
matter just as it is getting interesting
And after we have settled the sugar
trust controversy we can take up the
advances made by the pottery trust,
and the steel manufacturers, and lou
of other things, and compare the In
creased cost with the advance IN
wages. and get at general under
standing of the economic situation
and the par value Of the Dingley bill
as a real benefit to the American peo-
pie.
Don't let us pass these things by in
this hasty manner. The people are
talking about them. Why not the
newspapers? And besides, it is your
game.

The action Of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railroad in running large
excursions into Wheeling is to be COM

of interest to be seen in Wheeling, es-
pecially for the visitors from smaller
towns. Bring the people along.

AS additional evidence that prosper
ity is here a Baltimore paper tells a
story about a young man, who vainly
tramped the streets for work before
the passage of the Dingley bill. getting
a job at a dollar a day, working III
days paying a dollar week for meals
and dollar a week for room rent,
and yet buying two suits of clothes
for SIS and putting SIS in the savings
bank. This young man will get rich.
He is evidently flnancier.

1t has been said of Secretary Stan
ton that when he went into President
Lincoln's Cabinet as Secretary of War
he had twenty-five years of life on
deposit, and checked it all out in the
course of his service to his country.
This is an unique but truthful way If
putting it, When the war was over
Stanton was a broken man.

the least noise irritated her, she was so ner.

treated her steadily for year without doing
her any good. In fact, it seemed that she

only thing that would benefit her.

and found that their use helped her con-
siderably. She kept on taking them till she
used about q dozen boxes with the result
that she was entirely well, and since then
there has been no symptoms whatever, of her

Farmer Hopkins Evidence.
he Tells ABOUT The SUFFERING OF HIS
DAUGHTER,
A Victim Of Nervous Prostitution and Neura|ga,
Saved After Her Physician Abandoned Hope.
From the Republican, Columbus, Ind.

While in the neighborhood of Rugby,
indiana, recently, reporter was told that
Miss Clara Hopkins, daughter of Mr.. Dennis
Hopkins, prominent farmer of Bartho-
lomew County, had been the subject of
remarkable Transformation. The reporter
decided to investigate and learn the par
ticulars. He was driven to Mr.. Hopkins
splendid country home, where he had an
interesting conversation with that gentleman
regarding the illness ofhis only daughter.
"You have been correctly Informed, said
Mr.. Hopkins, for Clara has indeed had a
severe siege. She tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and they did her more
good than all other medicines together that she
ever took. A few boxes of that medicine
accomplished the cure of case i'll few
months which had batfled physicians for
years.
"About three years ago her health began
TO fail. The doctor who attended her said this
was caused by weak digestion. This produced
nervousness, which was accompanied by men,
ralgic troubles, which at first was located in
the nerves about the heart. OF course this
was dangerous location for any such trouble,
and she rapidly grew worse, notwithstanding
that the physician was treating her. This
continued till year ago last November, ut
which time she was almost constantly confined
to her bed.
1.-THE neuralgia became gradually verse,
and finally she was confirmed victim to it.
NERVOUS prostration set in, and she was
coon all run down. Her blood was impure
