THEW Should Keen Oniet.

The theory of the Dingley bill is
that in imposing customs duties to
raise revenus the rates on competing
products should cover the difference
between the wages here and abroad
This rule has been applied wherever
practicable.
But the difficulties of tariff legisia-
tiOn are so many, intricate and com
pick that as to some of the schedules
this theory may not be the wisest and
it is also not unlikely that in the
haste of preparing the measure there
were mistakes made that ought to be
corrected. The Senate can and will
make some changes, probably radical
changes, in the rates without affect
ing the general character of the bill.
With few exceptions the critics of
the Dingley bill are the same men and
the same papers that defend the pres
ent tariff law. Of course, from their
point of view the whole thing is q
fraud, for they hold protection to be
a fraud. But what is their opinion
worth? The Wilson-Gorman law
which they champion has been a gro
tesque failure as revenue raiser and
the experience of American industries
during the past three years has not
recommended it highly save as an ex-
cellent stimulus to European produc-
tion.
The Dingley critics are in bad re-
pute. Under the circumstances the
dOctrinaries ought to be content to
stay in the back seat where the great
American electorate hurled them last
November and quietly await the re-
suits of Republican legislation.

liver her up to her enemy for sound
beating. If the frontier defenses of
Greece are broken through the road
to Athens is comparatively easy. and
the calculation doubtless is that
Greece will be compelled to throw her
self upon the protection of the powers
and accept sGch terms as they may
see fit to obtain for her
AT present the sad situation is that
Greece is contending single-handed
against all Europe. German and Rus
sian officers are active in the Turkish
service and the moral support of every
European government is on the side
of Turkey, while Greece is treated as
a disturber of the peace. Under such
conditions, the cause of Greece is al
most hopeless. Her only chance of
success in her heroic undertaking is
in the chance that the disagreements
of the Powers may in one way or
another draw them into the conflict.

THURSDAY, APRIL %, 1897.


Last Wednesday the Board of
County Commissioners for Garrett
county finished making the levy to
meet the expenses of the county for
the past year. The work was well done
and the board is the recipient of many
words of praise for the economic
methods in vogue.of their office.
Notwithstanding the heavy assess
ment and other expenses and an ad-
ditional appropriation of $4,000 for
support of the public schools the tax
rate has been kept down to rs cents
on the 500, a decrease in the rate of
30 cents over last year True, the new
assessment has increased the basis
largely, still the fact remains the rate
is lower than in any other year while
the expenses Are greatly increased.
This should commend the economic
spirit of the members composing the
board to the tax payers. Not one
cent has been uselessly expended
While all improvements have been
constructed in the best manner pos
sible and at a minimum cost.
Whilst this has been the case in all
respects the board has been liberal in
making appropriations for the schools
and for the improvements of the roads
two items of the most Importance
to the general public. Besides this, a
fund has been created to meet con-
tingencies which will in all probability
be greater than necessary.
Taken altogether the public gener-
ally and the Republican party in par
ticular should congratulate them
selves in having such gentlemen as
Messrs. Friend, Alternately and Lay
man at the head of affairs in Garrett
county.

Judging from Examiner Palmer's
announcement in last weeks REPUB-
LICAN, one would have had no reason
to believe otherwise than that full
and definite arrangements had been
made to hold term of normal school
here the coming season, but 10! now
comes the intelligence that the ''rep-
resentative teacher" to whom this
school had been assigned, according
to the announcement has made full
arrangements to teach term of nor
nal at Chestnut Spring, Pa, at the
same time. Is this the result of "a
misunderstanding? Is it a ruse or
scheme to defeat the just and legiti-
mate aim of this community to have
a normal school here; one concocted
by some one haying some interest III
advancing the interests of another
community in preference to ours. If
the county school board was not mis-
led or misunderstood some one in
arranging for this school, is evidently
responsible for this state of affairs
Even if another teacher is secured
and school opened here, it is very
probable that this state of confusion
will in some degree prove detrimental
to the school. We have had no op-
portunity of discussing the matter
with our representative of the county
school board and write this upon the
aspect the face of the matter presents.
yet the fact that the school board
misunderstood or was misled, which
would be the same, remains, inevita-
bly,, and the responsibility rests upon
it accordingly.

A special telegram to the Baltimore

Washington, says
No one who has not been around
the Senate Chamber has any idea of
the way in which Senator Wellington
is run to death by callers. They are
after him sometimes in squads of so
at time, and it is the hardest thing
i'll the world for him to drag himself
away from them. At the Normandie
Hotel, where he boards, things are
just as bad. They are after him there,
morning, noon and night. There is
no doubt in the world that his health
and constitution are beginning to
show the result of this fearful rush
and strain. He looks haggard, and
the rings and dark spots under his
eyes are more pronounced than ever.
One night this week while working
with his correspondence he gave way
completely and swooned. The cor
respondence is about as bad as the
visitors. Private Secretary Feaga
has to sit up all night in order to an
swer the letters. He has only had
his clothes off two nights in the last
week. The pressure of the Republi-
can of1ice-seekers from the State of
Maryland will result in a dead Sena-
tor if there is not soon some let-up.

The report that Turkeys action in
taking the aggressive was prompted
by Germany is very probable. 1t is
quite likely that the European powers
in general were quite willing to see a
sharp conflict between Turkey and
Greece, III the expectation that the
actual brunt of war will make Greece
amenable to the direction and control
of the great powers. In fact, either
the Powers had to let Greece have it's
way in Crete or war was inevitable.
If the struggle is confined to Turkey
and Greece the superior strength and
resources of the Ottoman empire are
to tell, so that it is impossible to see
how Greece can make a successful
stand. The hope of the Greeks is in
a general uprising against Turkish
rule attacking the government of the
Sultan at many points. Heretofore is
has been the case that when war be-
gan at one point in the Turkish do
minions it promptly spread to other
places, but heretofore Russia has been
deeply engaged in the outbreaks. At
present it is evidently the policy of
the Powers to isolate Greece and de-

we may certainly deduce that no man

How thrilling to recognize the power
of thoughts and cur share in it. When
first we come to realize that we have
an identity of our own we eagerly seek
out other peoples ideas and take them
to ourselves as part of our mental and
spiritual outfit; but as years go by
and our individuality becomes more
decided, ,coyly at first ideas of our own
force themselves upon us, based upon
other ideas that we have learned.
Let us never close our minds against
these ideas originating within; for so
long as humanity lasts and SO long as
each human brain differs from every
other one new ideas have a right to
life and there is no reason why your
idea and mine should not have in it
prevailing power. However, to know
how ideas originate is to understand
all the mysteries of our mind-and
that understanding is not yet. We
can merely say that they are the evil
dence of originality in man; and that
as far as the ideas are new he is a Gre
ator. | repeat again, how thrilling to

call public opinion, a most mysterious

GREAT DesTlTuTloN PREVAILS.
Report Made to Pennsylvania Senate
Regarding Anthracite Miners.

HARRISBURG, June 15.-The Joint
committee appointed to investigate the
condition of the miners in the anthra.
cite coal regions has made its report to
the senate.
Senator Meredith, chairman of the
committee, presented the report.
"The testimony taken," says the re-
port, "shows conclusively the deplora-
BILE condition of affairs for period GOV.
ering about two years, and particularly
since Jan. of the present year, since
which time the men in and about the
collieries have been employed not more
than two or two and three fourths days
a week, earning on an average about 81
per weeE, upon which, in many in
stances, Sley are compelled to support
large families. There IS greatest destitu.
tion and want in Mahanoy City and its
vicinity. Hazleton and its vicinity,
Shamokin and its vicinity and Wilkes
barre and its vicinity"
The committee makes these recon.
mendations:
First-The enactment of law abol-
ishing company stores.
Second-The prohibiting of discount.
ing or negotiating money orders belong.
ing to the miners.
Third-The enactment of a compul.
sorry semi-monthly pay law.
Fourth-The repeal of the miners
examining law and the enactment of a
law providing for a state board of ex-
aminers and that certificates issued by
the board shall entitle the holder
thereof to be employed in any mine in
the state.
Fifth-The enactment of a law pro.
vlding for the appointment of an in
spector of coal, TO examine the coal as
it comes from the mines.
Sixth-The passage of q resolution
requesting Pennsylvania representa-.
tives in congress to vote for and urge
the passage of law restricting foreign
immigration.
The senate adopted the report.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty. four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre-
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
Terhe is comfort in the knowledge
80 often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-R Root, the great kidney reme-
dy, fuifills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad eff
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for it's most Won
derful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price 30 cents aud one dollar.

FOUR BOXES DID 1T.
Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for years or
months from the pain and inconvenience
of that common disorder, piles, will look
with skepticism upon the claims OF the
makers of the new discovery for cure OF
all forms of piles, known under the
name of Pyrimid Pile Cure; nevertheless
the extraordinary cures performed by
this remedy are such as to warrant the
investigation of any sufferer. As case
in point the following letter speaks for
itself:
Mr.. Henry Thomas, of sub.station No.
8, Hosack Ave, Columbus, Ohio, writes
us follows:

many cures of piles by the Pyramid Pile
Cure and went to drug store and ask
for it. The drug clerk told me that he

better, but / told him l wanted to try
the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that
tried another and then to complete the

fered tor four years With the worst form
of protruding piles.
suffered death from piles, but have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just
as represented. l have recommended it
to several of my friends and am thank
full to be able to write you what good the
remedy has done for me-"
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it containes no opium,
cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind
and because it is so safe and pleasant to
use, being painless and applied at night.
The patient is cured in surprising short
time with no inconvenience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile cure is sold by all
druggists at 30 cents per package, and If
there is any constipation it is well to use
the Pyramid Pills at the same time with
the Pile Cure, as constipation is very
often the cause of piles and the pills
efiectually remove the costive condition.
Price of pills is 25 cents per package.
