There Is no name in this scct.on Of the
country, connected with the medical world,
that is better known to the public than that
of Mr.. Monroe Peterson. He is situated in
a nice, comfortable home, with n good farm,
about four miles west Of Johnson City, ILL.,,
He is now fitty-eiyh years old, in q healthy
condition, and weighs one hundred and ninety
pounds. Not Il more upright and honorable
citizen does our nation afford, ard lie is
looked upon with wonder, because Of lis
healthy condition after SO long a period Of
misery and suffering.
The cause of Mr.. PeterSon's long suffering
was a hurt which he received in q fall, while
running a drill in 1861, being n soldier at
the time. He has been crippled il lis right
leg ever since that date. Sciatic Rheumatism
then set in, and lis leg began to slowly
wither away and draw up in the joint, a"d
now it is about two inches shorter than the
other. 1t began to grow worse and, finally,
his whole body began to shake Ike a person
with the st. Nitus' dance. His first scyere
attack was about six years ago.
There is no disease in the power Of human
endurance more awful il its rains and
Affections than sciatic rhcum&ti IN. Some
times its pain may he a slow, steady one,
while, at other times, it comes with jerks
and wrenchcs that seem to t"it the boly
out of all shape of recognition. 1t seems TO
contract the muscles. drawing The body Cl-
most in a knot. While this is probably tho
worst stage of sciati" rhcUmltism, it Is some
times found in mildcr forms. So j: Was

affection might last him all his life, or. on
the other hand, it might leave him entirely
at an unexpected momcit.

Miss =. IS a clever woman and an ex-

anything which savors Of the article

Some years ago one Ct the children's
magazines printed an amusing little
jingle about a young lady at an archery
party who became SO alarmed at the
promiscuOus flight of the arrows that,
in order to be perfectly safe from harm,
she seated herself directly i'll front Of
the target.
Some days ago Miss p. was reading

ACCEPTING FACTS.

As likely as not dispatches which arrive
at the last moment before going To press
viii deny the report that Mr.. Scarles of
the American Sugar Trust, who is wanted
by the Lexow investigating committee in
New York, has been to Canton to see
Major Mckinley in company with Mr.
Hanna.
We are not among those who would
make a mountain out OF the incidental
molehill referred to. MI. Mckinley and
Mr.. Hanna are not in a position To deny
themselves, their ears or their friendly
counsel to representatives, of great Amer
lean Industries who are in need OF protec-
ton. That would be both unkind and
Illogical. Nor should the people at large,
having swallowed the results, object to
the greatest weight being accorded to tie
Influence and interests of persons and
corporations VINO contributed to those re-
suits.
Mr.. Searles and the Sugar Trust were
among the individuals and combinations
that enabled Mr.. Hanna To save the coun-
try from control by its people Their pure
and unselfish patriotism should not go un-
rewarded

the Nicaragua canal bills without chance
OF consideration in the House, and there

friends in the Senate. lie viii recognize
in the situation a new illustration of the
indubitable fact that this country is power
hess TO do anything which does not accord
with British financial or commercial policy
fation of the nefarious Clayton BuIwer
treaty in 1850, that country has steadily
and successfully opposed the idea of an
fsthmian canal under American national
auspices. In 1851 the Barings told Com
modore Vanderbilt that such an enterprise,

In the case OF International organizations

Inc strongest OF the International unions
Is the Typographical, with a membership
of about $4,000, divided into 500 or more

excellent military chances
The first is the prospect that they may be
able to deliver3paral yzing blow, espec ally

fection known, 70. eYistin the Spanish army
The secondi is,a that should the blow
fail of full effeehpr should IL prove injudi-

son to come within few Weeks, and then
Spanish field operations will become i'm
possible again until next winter. But pa
triot guerilla movements may be contin-
ued in spite of elimatie conditions.
Between alltlfese considerations and the
bankrupt condition of the Spanish govern
ment, the leaders and adherents of the
Cuban cause are by no means depressed,
and, on the contrary, believe that the mill
tary history of the ensuing weeks will
add laurels to their commanders and
arms, and credit and recognition to their
cause.

Col. + rccuian, the well kno wn florist. not
only knows about flo wers, but a great many
other things as well. He is a fine Judge of
lorseflesh, an oarsman and an authority on
international law and political economy
He is an epicure, too. He can cook a terra

self. The colonel used TO think the terrapin
was the best food ever eaten by man, but
recently lie has changed his mind. He has

The membership of the a F of L last
year was estimated at about zoe, 900, inn
mediately affiliated. Besides these, how
ever, there are nearly million more wage
earners organized and devoted To the eman-
cipation or their several classes OF trades
men
Since the organization OF the American
Federation OF Labor its full force and in
nuence has been devoted TO the better
ment OF the wage-wOrkers OF the world.
It's influence has not been expended in
merely making "a fight for shorter hours
and increased wages for woFkmen, but
in many other ways advanced the inter
eSts OF workmen of all classes and condi-
tions- With the increasing growth Of the
political power of organized labor, assisted
by the change of social conditions, the. svs-
TEN of factory legislation adopted by Eng
land and other European countries, was
by degrees accepted by this country
and soon became the law in several of
the largest OF the manufacturing States
In this Massachusetts took the lead, though
Wisconsin actually placed more power i'll
the hands of her officials for the enforce
ment OF her laws than any other State
sachusetts, however, took the lead in
all reforms In that State by law all la
bOrers are entitled to pa YIN ent by the week
for their services, mechanics have a first
lien for wages, child labor under fourteen
years of age is prohibited, and no factory
employe is permitted to work more than
ten hours day. In Maine, Rhode Island,

have similar laws huf they AFRO not 4 n

CUBAN REFORMS TO DATE.

Up TO the present date the Cuban reforms
and their chances for acceptance by the
Cuban revolutionists do not appear TO
constitute any bowling triumph of Ameri-
can diplomacy. The reforms, such as they
are, do not amount to autonomy, or any
thinglike real self-government in any sense
Gen WeyIer announces that there VIII be
no attempt to apply them before the final
triumph Of the Spanish arms Gen. Gomez
denounces them as fraudulent and ridic-
ulous, and viii not allow a Spanish
emissary access TO him to discuss them
The scheme has fallen fiat.
In the meantime, Gen. Weyler continues
the daily military executions at Cabanas
fortress, and his troops, volunteers and
guerillas, proceed as usual with the
regular butchery of defenseless farmers,
women, and even children. In the provinces
of Pinar del Rio, Havana, and Matanzas,
the patriot army is concentrating for q
final engagement before the rainy season.
The end is not yet, but may be near at
hand

MIR. PLATT IND LABOR,

There is one thing Mr.. Platt's governor
of New York has done which is calculated
to make organized labor in that State dis
contented with the present Republican
rule. When Senator Hill was governor,
the labor people requested him to recog-
nize it in appointing one Of the State rail-
way commissioners from the ranks OF
railway service, and he promptly acceded
by naming a locomotive engineer as one
OF the commission. This gentleman has
filled the position with credit and accepta-
bnity. The present executive, in ap-
pointing his successos, has ignored the
wishes and petitions of the workngmen,
and has selected the superintendent of d
line OF which Mr. Platt is president
The Republican landslide of 1896, to
which the laboring element of the country
must have contributed or it could not
have happened, is bringing many object
lessons to the front, the force of which
is being felt and ought to be fully appre-
ciated and remembered.

s. WAR on ASPHALT

The spirit OF reform, which has been in
dulging in one Of its periodical manifes-
tations in New York, has not yet sue
oeeded in quite crushing out another in
nuence in municipal affairs, which the
world has rather come to regard as normal,
or at least chronic, in connection with
the greatest in size among American
cities. Notwithstanding the activity OF
the LeNow antitrust committee, the re-
formatory efforts of Mr. Roosevelt and
the relisiously reviving ones OF Mr. Moody,
there is yet much of the mammon of un-
righteousness in Gotham's 5 high places and
intervening valleys.
The latest indication OF the survival
OF old and wicked things is seen in an
organized attempt 10 prevent the eXten-
sion OF asphalt pavements in the city,
In the interests of people engaged in the
production and sale OF other material
for the like purpose. Asphalt pavements,
which are the regular thing here, which
have added much attractiveness, quiet, and
cleanliness to the Capital City, and which
wecould not do without, are comparatively
new to New York. But wherever they
have been laid, they are appreciated, for
obvious reasons, when compared with the
noisy, dirt gathering Belgian block, the
old standard
The New York papers favor the asphalt
and denounce the attempt TO turn it down;
they demand its extension, and if their
town is to keep up with the times, they
should have their way.
