STARVATION Abroad.

We hear considerable complaint
about hard times from our own peo.
pie, and We have no doubt there is
good cause for the complaint, but We
are a great deal better off than the
psoole Of the North and West. Up
tnere thousands Of them are on the
verge of starvation In all the large
cities OF those sections thousands and
tens of thousands are being fed by the
public and charitable institutions. a
dispatch from Chicago on Tuesday
morning said the thermometer was
sixteen degrees below zero, and that
the suffering among the poor was in
tense and that the mayor OF TIE city
had issued a proclamation calling for
bread for the starving. This same
condition OF want and starvation ex-
lists in all the larger cities of the North
and East. It is appalling to contem'
plate.
According to reports made to the
mayor Of Chicago by the bureau of
charities and other committees, that
have applied to him the number OF
destitute families is increasing each
day, until the conditions in some parts
of the city are appalling. Immediate
relief is necessary, Or it is said many
will die OF starvation and cold. The
police stations all over the city are
filed with lodgers. Hundreds of
homes are without fuel or food and
skilled workmen are begging on the
streets. Committees from charitable
institutions and many individual phi
lanthropists have called upon Mayor
Swift to urge him to make al appeal
| to the public for immediate help for
the sufferers. Distribution of fuel
| and food have been carried on by the
bureau of charities, but they say they
are unable to take care Of one fifth of
the people who beg assistance.
| County Commissioner dealy re-
ported to Mayor Swift Tuesday that
the lists OF needy are growing at the
rate of from three hpndred to I've hun
dred families q day. These are not
the families OF paupers, but of skilled
worknen who are unable to get work.
Tarough the suggestions Of Mayor
| Swift, Chief of Police Badenoch issued
an order tonight which will facilitate
the furnishing of relief to such as are
in danger fir 10 the want Of food or
fuel. The patrolmen throughout the
city were ordered 20 make all reports
on cases of extreme destitution and
explain the character of relief desired.
To all such cases immediate assistance
will be rendered. This is terrible
condition Of affairs IN land such SIS
We have. Many OF these starving men
| no doubt voted for Mckinley and
gold bugism, but they won't do SO
any more. Their eyes have been
| onened

Easy Cure for Headache.

IAN excellent and never,faiIing
cure for nervous headache . said an
apostle OF physical culture, lis the
simple act Of walking backward.
Just try it some time if you have any
doubt about it. I have yet to meet
the person who didn't acknowledge
its efficacy after a trial. No one has
as yet discovered or formulated a rea-
son why such a process should bring
such certain results Physicians say
that it is probably because the reflex
action OF the body brings about re-
fex action Of the brain, and thus
drives away the pain that when in
duced by nervousness is the result OF
too much going forward. Don't you
know how at such tim, you have the
feeling that every thing in your
head is being pushed forward
As soon as .'ou begin to
walk backward, however, there
comes feeling OF everything
being reversed, and this followed by
relief. The relief is always certain,
and generally speedy. Ten minutes
is the longest have ever found neces.
sary. An entry or a long, narrow
room makes the best place for such a
promenade. You should walk very
Slowly, letting the ball OF the foot
touch the floor first, and then the
heel-just the way, in fact, that one
should in theory walk forward, but
which in practice is so rarely done.

The Losses On Both Side s.

Oaly those who we've of mature
age at the tine OF our last war can
have any conception OF the tremen-
dous losses in life and limb occasioned
by sanguinary hostile operations.
From April 10, 1861, until May 20,
1865, there were 73, ,4S6 Federal sol
diers killed outright on the field Of
battle, with II, 764 VINO were mortally
wounded and died soon after. The
losses of the Confederate armies were
SO ,S72 killed in battle, 52,71S mortally
wounded. There were also 10. 2C7
Federals reported missing to be added
to the list of dead, with 1874 Con-
federates who were never heard OF
again. By accident on land and sea
there were Sis Federals killed aud
6 041 Confederates, making the total
Of violent deaths reach the awful sum
of 263, ,42O. Large as these figures are
they were exceeded By the deaths from
disease. exposure and privation. 16O,-
324 FederaIs and l3S, 516 Confederates
dying from these causes, a total Of
31S, $40, the aggregate loss in human
life on both sides being 5S2, $50. To
this must be added 100000 men who
were crippled and rendered unable to
engage in the avocations OF peace.

"A Cruel SurpriSe.

What the News and Courier calls
"a cruel surprise" has recently oc-
Cured at Chicag in the closing down
OF the Chicago Works of the Illinois
Steel Company, by which twelve
hundred men were thrown out OF
work. Such occurrences as this may
surprise the News and Courier and
other gold bug organs, because they
are wrapped up in their dense igno'
rance and prejudice, and can't see be-
you'd the interests Of the moneyed
men who own and control them. It
is no surprise, however, to those OF US
who have investigated the financial
condition that now oppresses every
legitimate enterprise of the country.
It was just such cruel surprises, as the
one the News and Courier speaks OF,
that Bryan and other Democratic
speakers in the late campaign predict
ed would come if Mckinley was elect
ed and the gold bug doctrine Of the
News and Courier fastened on The
country. At that time our cotempo-
rary was predicting great prosperity
as the result of the defeat of the tree
silver fanatics, as it delighted to call
US, and the success of Mckinley and
gold-buggism. We fear before the
close of the year 1897 our esteemed
gold-bug cotemporary will have many
more cruel surprises" We wish it
was otherwise, but it is no use to shut
our eyes to what is as plain as day
light to thinking people. Before this
country can become prosperous and
these "cruel surprises" abated, it will
have to repudiate such false teachers
as the News and Courier and restore
silver to its proper place in our cur
rency.
