The Best Remeny for Rheumatism.

The Best Remeny for rheumatism.
From the Fairhaven IN W Register.
Mr. James Rowland, Of this village,
states that for twent y-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheumatism.
A few nights ago she was in such pain
that she was nearly crazy. She sent
Mr.. Rowland for the doctor, but he had
read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and
instead of going for the physician he
went to the store and secured bottle
of it. His wife did not approve Of Mr..
Rowland's purchase at first, but never
tbeless applied the Balm thoroughly, and
in an hours time was able to go to
sleep. She now applies it Whenever She
feels an ache or a pain and finds that it
always gives relief. He says that no
medicine which she had used ever did
her as much good. The 25 and 80 cent

The probabilities are for not very large
shipments of gold today, but more next
week. These shipments are made not so
much against sales or exchange as in settle
ments of maturing credits, which are
unusually large at this time, owing to the
recent almost abnormal imports of mer-
chandise. Besides, a fresh demand for gold
has developed in London, presumably for
some OF the continental nations.

The Desperate Sugar Trust.

4 Business-Like Message,

President McKinley's message to Con-
gress urging the adoption of measures for
the relief of distressed Americans in Cuba
hand. aud does not digress 10 bring other
issues relating to the war in the island
into the situation. Thus the message lacks
in those sensational features which some
seem to have expected. which might seri-
ously compiicate matters and hinder the
effort TO relieve the suffering citizens of
the United States. 1t is evidently the
ther demonstrations of policy until Mr..
Calhoun's report has been received. or
such information has been obtained from
him as will point unmstakably to the need
of intervention. less conservative course
at this particular time might readily set
the country into a ferment. When the
time comes for action. when the best
Information obtainable is received and
digested, il is now practically certain that
the President will announce himself in
such terms that the popular sentiment will
be fully satisfied. Meanwhile the relief
work outlined in the message of today can
proceed. One suggestion that the Presi-
dent makes is worthy of special attention:
he urges that there be set aside out of the
aid in bringing Americans now in Cuba
back to their homes in this country. This
is a practical step that will doubtless lessen
the need of further appropriations for re-
lief such as that about to be extended.

Strike of the New York Tailors.

The strike of the New York tailors.
started yesterday. involves an army OF
workmen and a vastly greater number of
people through those dependent upon them.
1t bids fair at the outset to be one of the
largest local trade union movements of
several years, though there is no proba-
hility of its spreading to other trades or
cities. One estimate places the number of
tailors who are expected to be on strike
within a few days at $4,000. The issue is
simple. The strikers demand more pay
than they now receive. They work from
fourteen to sixteen hours a day for from
three to five dollars week. They demand
from nine to twelve dollars as a week S
pay. At the average increase asked by the
strikers the total advance that would be
paid out weekly if their pleas were granted
would amount to about S234, 600. These
figures indicate the proportions of this
latest labor disturbance. Fortunately the
trade involved is such that the strike will
not seriously interfere with the city's or
dinary necessities.

Holding Together.

Silver wins in Florida. The Senator-elect
from that state is prompt to renew his
allegiance to the principles of the Chica go
platform. and singles ou- silver for a
special pledge. The Bryan democracy is
standing firm everywhere. IN OHIO in Vir-
ginia. IN Kentucky. the state campaigns
are shaping themselves national issi.es.
Delegates to the democratic conventions
are to be chosen on the he sis of the number
of votes cast for Mr.. Bryan last year The
gold democrats are thus excluded. The
E'aneuverirg of Tammany in New York
and that of Mr.. German in Maryland are
not distGsteful TO tie silver leaders. Mr..
Bryan and his nearest advisers know that
trey get Mr.. Sheehan and Mr.. German
any time they may need them in their bus
iness. Democracy means silver. for this
year and for next. and for 1900 unless af-
fairs take such shape between now and the
rext presidential campaign as to force
something else to the front as silver itself
was forced TO the front last year.
In the face of this show of comDactness
in the silver organization. can the sound
money organization afford to break ranks,
even for season? Should it not stand as
firm as the opposition? If it does not will
IL not play at once into the hands of the
OPPOSITION? If. for any reason, Ohio, New
York. Maryland and Kentucky all of which
were carried for sound money last year.
should this year be carried under silver
leadership, will not the cause of sound
money receive a setback?
So far as Congress is concerned, the
financial question is still in abeyance
Nothing but the tariff will be dealt with at
this session But when Congress meets
next winter the financial question will be
In order and will be taken Up. BY that
time the special commissioners sent abroad

the President will oe ready to make some
suggestions 10 Congress. Would it help
the cause of sound money for the friends
OF silver TO be able to point out that at the

The People SDeak.

Last nlShts popular demonstration in be-
nan OF Cuba supplies abundant cause for
pride and conSratulation. The audience
was oVerhowing and thoroughly represen-
tatiVe; the speeches and the resolutions
were pitched In the key of both patriotic
sentiment and practical duty. The whole
Cuban case was never better stated.
The value OF this demonstration could not
easily De overestimated. There is proba bly,
not city in the country where a similar
one could not tonight be held but such de-
hveranees at the capital here, participated
In by men of all parties high In office. and
applauded by men and women from all sec
tons. give TO this occasion q meaning and
Significance truly national. 1t Is as il the
country itself had spoken, as 1t did formal
y through Congress last year, and as 1t ap-
pears to be on the eve of doing through
Congress again.
FIRST OF all. 1t will help to open the eyes
Of people abroad to the real situation here
The Star last week, quoting from an Eng
lish periodical. showed that the Iyntte,,
States Is held jointly responsible with Spain
across the sea for the reign of murder and
terror In Cuba We are twitted with being
greatly moved by the atrocities committed
In Crete and Armenia. thousands of miles
away, while constructively participant In
atrocities quite as hideous and inhumap
committed right at our doors. We are thus
charged with both inhumanity and hy.
pocracy.
The only reply to this is the reply tina,
was made at the Columbia Theater las;
night. The name of the official responsible
for the bringing OF the accusation agains,
the United States was twice mentioned and
both times vigorously hissed. 1t Is no,
agreeable to hear Kissed the name of a
man who has flied the highest Office in the

government. but when 1t Is necessary to
defend the people themselves against q
charge so humiliating, and. by them. so
undeserved. it is entirely proper that the
truth, even at his expense, should come
out.
And Mr.. Cleveland is responsible 1t is
true that he cannot be charged with in
consistency. The news from Crete and Ar
menia never moved him. He was undoubt-
edly consistent. His sympathy with Cen
eral Weyler in Cuba, who was butchering
people all over the island, was directly In
line with his sympathy with Mrs Dominis
in Hawaii, who had formulated for herself
the policy of beheading all of her opponents
when Mr.. Cleveland should succeed In re-
storing her to power. But Mr.. Cleveland S
consistency made the people of the country
appear Inconsistent. They were as anxious
that butchery should be stopped in Cuba as
in Crete and Armenia: but Mr.. Cleveland.
who was elected to be their servant and
representative, chose to make himself their
boss and the cause of their revilement. He
fatty refused to execute their will.
The proposition that the United States
cannot take humane action in this business
without mourning responsibility for war
with Spain is nonsense The point is hard
ly worth noticing, for a nation which in
such circumstances would be deferred by
such a consideration would not be worthy
Of respect. II would not enjoy it's own self
respect. But war is not on the horizon.
The question is one of peace. What the
United States desires, in the interests Of
humanity, is peace in Cuba, and as Spain
has shown herself unable to secure that by
the torch and the sword. she should be
firmly urged to adopt some other policy. or
quit the island. The fact that she has so
far refused to extinguish the torch or
sheathe the sword shows that they are her
only reliance, and that her cause is lost.
