TOO MUCH WORK
For "a Healthy Existence.-Thats
Why the Kidneys so often Fail.

Nature has provided q certain amount
of work for every organ of the human
body; overtax them and disease, eventu-
ally follows. There is not one por-
ton of our organism that is so overworked
as the kidneys; on them is placed the inn
portant function of filtering the blood OF
the impurities which naturally form in the
regular action Of life and digestion. The
kidneys are consequently termed the sew
erage of the system; clog up this sewer,
and the blood becomes tainted with poison
Gus uric acid which brings on disease
in many forms. The back is the first to
show this stoppage. From there comes
the warning note; 1t should be needed,
and the kidneys receive prompt attention.
Doans Kidney Pills will right the action
of the kidneys quickly, relieve the back Cf

Central Pacific Railroad company.
Two!
The resignation was acceptedat spe-
cial meeting Of the directors, but has
been kept secret until now, probably in
order to give Uncle an opportunity to be-
come resigned in feeling as we'll as in
fact.
The change is due to the persistent
fight which c. e. Bretherton, represent
ing the English stockholders, has made
against Mr.. Huntington's continuing
longer on the board. The English and
Dutch stockholders who have seen their
holdings diminish in value from SAC, ,OO0,-
600 to something like 81 900, 900 have made
some very severe statements, claiming
that the Central Pacific has practically
been wrecked in the interest of the
Southern Pacific, and they feel safer
without Mr.. Huntington's help as an
adviser
Mr.. Huntington, may be entitled to
sympathy in his Affections, but it is
doubtful If he gets it.

2. No candidate for city office shall
use that office for the benefit of any po-
litical organization.
g. The civil service laws shall be en-
forced without regard to political in
f1uence.
A. The city shall retain the owner
ship Of its franchises and shall grant
them only for limited periods, and hold
ers OF franchises shall be forced to give
the public adequate service at reason
able rates.
5. Better rapid transit facilities shall
be secured without unreasonable de-
lay
6. School accommodations shall be
provided for all children of school age,
and the efficiency of the schools shall be
increased.
Z. The eight-hour la Dor day shall be
enforced to all employees of the city ard
its contractors, and that union wages
shall be paid.
8. The system Of small parks, baths
and lavatories shall be extended.

BOSTON TAKES THE PENNANT

The base ball pennant for the season
Of 1897 is now practically assured to
Boston, thanks to Mondays game, when
the three crack pitchers of the Baltimore
team were sent to the bench in success
sion by the heavy batting Of their op-
ponents.
The triumph of the Bostons is popu-
lar one. Baltimore has had the pennant
for three successive seasons and the
transference of the championship to an
other city will add greatly 10 the inter-
est of the national game next season.
The fact that good feeling prevailed
among the $4,000 Baltimoreans who saw
their favorites dragged in the dust of
defeat, shows that this element of
change is generally regarded as the best
thing that could happen. The Balti-
more team, though defeated, was not
disgraced, and the contest for the Tenn
pie cup will give them another chance to
show their prowess against their victor
ious antagonists.
The subject should not be dismissed
without word Of praise for the New
York club, which landed in third place,
making a splendid uphill fight against
most discouraging odds. The club was
handicapped by an erratic and unpopu-
lar manager-owner. and by the absence
early in the season Of Rusie, the famous
big Hoosier pitcher. A bad beginning
was turned into creditable ending.
AS for Boston, high jinks must have
been the rule in that old town Monday
night, ard the scene will hardly be re-
peated until Harvard takes the foot ball
championship from Yale. The owners
of the Boston club, too, in addition to
winning the championship, will divide a
seasons profit amounting to something
over 100000.

VERY MUCH MIXED

Like Hanchett's liquor, politics in
New York city are "mixtry." The Re-
publicans are split up over the question
of bossism. Platt, backed by adminis-
tration patronage and influence, wants
a government that will do his bidding.
The Democrats are dissonant over the
subject of indorsing the Chicago plat
form. Hill is manipula ting in favor of
non-committalism, and has succeeded
so far as the state committee is con-
cerned. The Democratic alliance has
offered Henry George the nomination for
mayor, and he has signified his willing
ness to accept If the regular Democratic
organization fails to indorse the Chica-
go platform. The United German-
American societies want a man of their
nationality nominated for mayor by the
Democrats. The Citizens Union is al
ready in the field with Seth Low for
mayor. Platt and Hill are both striving
for the mastery. The confusion so far
as nominations are concerned will
shortly give place to confusion in the
election.

A RIGHTEOUS VERDICT

The verdict of the coroner's jury in the
case of the striking miners killed at Lat
inner by Sheriff Martins posse justifies
the strong language used by the press of
the country in condemning those mur-
ders. The jury finds, with the exceptions
fof two members, that the strikers were
marching peaceably and unarmed on
the public highway; that they were in
tercepted by Sheriff Martin and his dep
uties and "mercilessly shot to DEATH"
that the killing was unnecessary and
"could have been avoided without seri-
Gus injury to either person or property"
and all but two of the jury declare that
the killing was "wantou and unjustii-
able" The jury as whole concludes by
saying that there was strong suspicion
of unlawful violence.
The Herald, in commenting upon the
tragedy on the day after its occurrence,
declared that there was no warrant for
the use of firearms by the sheriff and his
deputies; that if any one of the strikers
had resisted the sheriff he should have
been placed under arrest. That if fur
ther resistance was shown the offend
ing parties should have been captured

absolutely necessary, and no more; bear
ing in mind that the contention was be-
tween an armed force of the officers of
the law and an unarmed body of strils-
ers This view is completely borne out
by the verdict of the coroner's jury.
1t should be particularly noticed that
the strikers were found to have been
marching "peaceably and unarmed on
the public highway" The apologists
I for the sheriff almost invariably assert
ed that the strikers were intercepted
while marching over ground belonging
to the coal operators-private property

HE NEVER SAID so

And now Mr. Roosevelt declares that
he never said 1t, and faith In. human ma

honor as assistant secretary of the navy,
ex-police commissioner Of New York
city. ex-civil service commissioner, as
an author, sportsman, and as an ideal
model for statue of Good Government,
Mr. Roosevelt asserts, affirms, declares
and otherwise says that he never gave
utterance to these startling words:
1.-THE United States is on the verge of
war with SPAIN"
Mr.. Roosevelt doubtless owes himself
this explanation, for the number Of ION
the Verge" articles that were struck off
by the editorial writer's Of the daily
press would have filled dictionary in
tary of the navy adds insult to injury by
further intimating that the public
should have known he did not make the
remark attributed to him, because the
story appeared in the newspapers. This
is really too bad, because, while Mr..
Roosevelt may be able to get along with
out the newspapers, the latter could
hardly get along without him.
1t is possible, however, that Mr..
Roosevelt concluded to sacrifice both
himself and the newspapers rather than
by his utterances plunge the United
States into bloody war with SPAIN
The anxiety of the Dons when they
heard that Roosevelt, no less, had de-
clared that the United States was on the
verge Of a war with this country must
have been painful indeed. If Roosevelt
said it, it must be so. The secretary's
lucid explanation, however, has stopped
