There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an lnhamed con-
dItlon Of the mucous lining of the Eus-

Imperfect hearing, and when It is en-
tlrely 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 destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh. which is nothing but an In

THE INTELLIGENCER.
wmEELINc, SEPTEMBER i, 1907.
r,punthe Rluht Way.

Wheeling business men and Wheeling
citizens generally are getting an old
time hustle" on them and falling In line
with the country by helping along pros
perity. Following close on the successful
Merchants Day venture, the benefits
OF which have been such as to inspire
the merchants to make the institution
permanent, the Intelllgencer's sugGes-
ton to make an effort to secure the next
reunion OF the Society of the Army OF
West Virginia was received with enthu-
siasm and the movement has already
been inaugurated.
The meeting of Monday night, in re-
Spouse to the call Issued by President
Quarter, of the chamber Of commerce.
was attended by representative citizens,
who were unanimously in favor of the
project and set about the work In hand
in a buslness-lllse way. The action in
comforting oil Captain Rawllng the pow
er TO select representatives to so to Col
umbue and tender the invitation of the
citizens OF Wheeling TO the society, in
stead OF appointing a committee indls-
crtminatefy. was wise, for 1t fnsures the
selection of a working delegation.
The most successful reunion the So
clety Of the Army of West Virginia ever
held was in this city. and the veterans
sim remember the big time the city gave
them, with three or four celebrations
which made up the greatest event that
Wheeling has had in recent years. We
anticipate that, II the committee is given
plenary powers. the society, having in
mind these facts, and the fact that on
the previous occasion the city more than
made good its promises. will not hesitate
to accept the invitation.
This viii mean a great deal to Wheel
ing, for 1t will bring to the city next year
from ten to fifteen thousand strangers,
not for single day, but for two or three
days. Should the invitation be accepted
the work of preparations should be be-
gun early and systematically carried out
to the end. The Inteligencer feels sure
that this will be done, for the people of
Wheeling, when they have anything of
this nature on hand, generally cover
themselves with glory.

Mr.. Debs' SocialIstic Democracy
scheme. as n political issue. will hardly
be adopted by the labor of the country
as a remedy for their grievances. Even
were 1t practical 1t does not possess the
merit of presenting an early improve
ment over present conditions, since the
scheme to be carried out would require
the conversion Of the entire country to
socialism, and neither this generation
nor the next, nor the one thereafter,
would live TO witness that feat accom-
pllshed.
The plan involves changes in human
nature which can never be brought
about All men would have to acquire
angelic dispositions immortality and sell
fishness would have to be entirely wiped
out; the lazy would have to become in
dustrlous, and every man would have to
become as good. as honest as unsel1sh
and as Industrious as every other man.
There are remedies for industrial condi-
lions, but Mr.. Debs' scheme contcm-
plates the bringing OF the millennium,
which. judging from the signs, is not
quite due.

Evidence OF Returning Confidence and
Prosperity.

Evidence OF heturning commence ana
Prosperity,
Col. John t. McGraw, who is West
VirginIas member of the national COM
mIttee OF the Silver Democracy, and who
managed the national end of the calam-
ity campaign in this state last year from
the Bryantte standpoint. though many
people did not believe his heart was In
II, and who now has his eyes upon the
senate, must have more faith in the
coming of prosperity than the editors
and calamity politicians of the wing of
the Democracy he represents in the ma
tlonal organization.
Very strong evidence Of the gallant
colonel's abiding faith in the future ot
the country and of West Virginia under
the policy OF the present administration
Is furnished by the news from Washing
ton that he has just negotiated with
syndicate Of capitalists, becoming a
member himself. for the sale OF a tract
OF 100000 acres Of the richest mineral
and timber land in the state. The pur-
pose OF the syndicate is to build a rail-
road 10 miles In length to tap this great
region and incidentally develope the
enormous wealth II contains.
1t Is a business deal. of course, with
which partisan politics has nothing to
do, and the people Of West Virginia will
hail the news with satisfaction, for 1t
means another big step in the work of
state development, bringing In more peo-
pie giving employment to more men,
building more towns and contributing
to the further progress of West Virginia.
But the IntellIgencer refers to the colo
nel's political affiliations in connection
with the matter as ahording another EVIL
dence that the substantial business men,
even In the Bryan or calamity wing OF
the Democracy, are accepting the return
OF prosperity as a permanent revival
from the depression of the past four
years. during which there was a great
falling OFF of investments OF this nature
in West Virginia.
II Col. McGraw and the syndicate he
has organized had believed one-half the
pesslmistlc talk that is still being In
dulged in by he organs. the Stewards,
the BANDS and their few newspaper or
gans. that are dying SO hard some of
them in this state, this gigantic enter
prise would not have been undertaken.
When prosperity comes it speaks well
for the substantial character of 1t, that
men "who fought on the other side" are
quick to place their faith in the belief
in lts future permanence under the pol
icy they opposed. and turn in to help 1t
along. In the action of the shrswd bus
mess men OF capital who are now show
ing their faith by their works the pOlit-
ical demagogues and calamity editors
can learn a lesson in the confidence
which is inspiring the whole country.

The action OF the Democratic state
committee OF Pennsylvania in bouncing
Mr.. Harrity from his position as nation-
al committeeman because he did not
throw his hat high enough for sryan last
year was a notice served on the Demo-
Gratis OF Pennsylvania who believe in
sound money that they are not wanted
in the party this year, II anything was
needed to insure a big Republican ma
jority in that state this year, in spite Of
the dissatisfaction with the Republican
machine as managed by Quay the Bryan
fanatics have furnished It. The Gold
Democrats are numerous in the Key
stone state, and will not let the treatment
Of Harrity pass without notice.

Senator Hoar writes to the Boston
Advertiser in favor OF the crusade now
being made on the killing of birds for
ornaments to be worn on the hats Of
women. The senator instances many
cases that have come under his obser-
walton showing how much cruelty the
custom entails Probably every obserV-
ing person has evidence OF a like char
acter. 1t is to be regretted that the
Massachusetts, law passed by the last
legislature has been emasculated and
practically shorn of all force. As 1t has
been decided that 1t applies only to birds
killed In that state, It will do little or
nothing to stop the slaughter Of birds.
1t was hoped by the opponents Of the
practice that 1t would be an example
other states would follow. But unless
similar laws are passed in all the states
and they are made 10 apply TO the
wearing Of birds killed anywhere the
cruel practice viii go on.

Mr.. Sampson Fox is one OF the men
who promote things in London. and IN
his line has been very successful. He
promoted all sorts OF enterprises and
made all kinds of money" Having
money. his next step was to desire social
recognition. and Mr.. Fox could think OF
no better way than to get In close touch
with HE royal hlghness the prince OF
wales.
Now It happens that the prince Is very
much interested in the College OF Music,
and 30 Mr.. Fox was thoughtful enough
to hand 20 the prince his check for f225,-
OJO. or It's English equivalent. for the use
Of the College Of Music, Some Of the
English newspapers were so ungratetul
as TO jump on Mr. Fox and charge him
with having robbed the public Of this and
other considerable sums OF money. Ma
turally this was distasteiui to gentle
man seeking social recognition. So Mr..
Fox brought suit
His affairs were pretty thoroughly
gone into In the trial and the Jury found
that his character had been damaged.
The Jury found at the same time that ono
English farthlns was the measure OF the
damage 50 MI Fox got his yinlIcatlon,
