WHAT TO DO

There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed; that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney
remedy, fulfills every wish in reliev-
ing pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. 1t corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in pass
ing it, or bad effect following use of
liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times dur
ing the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect Of
Swamp Root is soon realized. II
stands the highest for it's wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need q medicine you should

the entire period of tine French occupa-
tion, which was not interrupted for one
hundred and seventy-four years, the news
papers were printed in both German and
French. Yet in time the people became
Gallieised and there was a storm of pro-
test against the cession to Germany when
In 1871, after the Franco-Prussian war, the
two provinces were restored to Germany.
Fifty thousand of them went into voluntary
exile, preferring expatriation to a change
of rulers.
The Germans sought after the restitution
to Teutonize the province as far as pos
sible. and to this end the use of the French
Language in the schools was prohibited
Gradually much of the feeling of restless
ness has died away and the provinces have
become somewhat accustomed to the
change, but, as indicated In the dispatch

Lorraine the other day, which has caused

He wss under no special duty to the people

Interest was merely that of the people

by a sense of public duty, and entered
with amazing vigor into the fight against
the funding bill and the contest to save the
governments interests in the Pacific rail-
roads. Huntington, in all his career never
met so keen and masterful an opponent
and tie merciless cross-examination to
which the Southern Pacific magnate was
subjected by Senator Morgan in the com
mittee on Pacific railroads was effective in
showing up the fraudulent character of

Senator Morgan followed up this opening
by vigilant end energetic defense of the
interests of California and of the govern

reads.

lie reception is planned for Senator Nor
gan on his arrival. and that representative
men have it in charge. California should
show that she knows how to treat her

Alsace-LOrrHine

Alsace and Lorraine have been a bone of
contention between France and Germany
for many generations and have passed back
and forth until q curious and almost I'M
precedented complexity of domestic condi-
lions has arisen. France is just now
wildly enthusiastic over the hope that the
lately formed Russian alliance will result
in return of these areas to French rule,
from which they were taken IN 1871 Ger
many will not admit that such an action
Is possible, and until a compromise, such
now seems impossible, is reached be-
tween the two countries there will probably
always exist a bitter feeling between Ger
many and France over the provinces
In view Of the strategic advantages whic;,
accompany control of both banks Of the
Rhine Germany would never willingly con-
sent TO transfer of Alsace to France.
since that province commands the west
bank of the Rhine for 10 miles. and its
possession would give a powerful neighDor
unobstructed access to that river
Lorraine and Alsace were occupied during
Casar's time by Celtic tribes and formed
a part of ancient Gaul. As the Roman
Empire declined the region was gradually
Germanized by the tribes from the Rhenisn
districts overfiowing into the fertile val
leys of the Vosges. 1t was definitely a
part of the German empire after the tenth
century. In 16iS. under the terms of the
peace of Westphalia, part of the province
was coded to France. and in 1851 Louis
XIV during an interval of peace surprised
Strasburg and captured the entire remain
der of the district. Sixteen years later the
peace of Ryswick was accomplished and
all of Alsace and Lorraine was formally
turned over to France.

A Choice of Losses.

Some of the frce-slver papers are much
concerned At tie alleged lack of patriotism
and common seEse displayed by certain
sound money men who have not grieved
at the decline in the valre of silver, though
that decline means a reduction of the in
trinsic value and an increase of the fiat
percentage of value of our $500. 900 of
silver money. The reasons for looking
with equanimty upon this decline and
consequent apparent national loss are not
such as would commend themselves in
any event to an individual or a newspaper
of free-silver tendencies, but they are
obvious and worthy of consideration.
A powerful effort was made last year,
a renewal of which IS promised in the near
future, to depreciate the entire currency
mate result 1t would follow the fuctua-
tons of the value of silver in the mar
kets of the world. In the opinion of the
sound money man success of the PROPOSE
lion of Independent free coinage at Is to
l threatened and still threatens partial
reputation of debts. public and private,
the evils of deprecated and depreciating
currency, and all the disasters to the
credit and welfare of the nation which
follow in natural course.
A present decline in silver simultaneous
with rise in wheat knocks in the head
a favorite argument of the free-silver ad-
vocate, and thereby tends to avert the
national denser of Independent free coin

ton in the market value of silver in re-
lation to gold shows more clearly the alb
surdity of committal TO the arbitrary COIN
age ratio of 1G to /, brings out in sharper
relief the fiat and swindlrg feature of
the proposed currency. and renders it the
more unlikely that the people of the
United States will ever be fooled into max
ing an experiment. so certain to be dis
astrous.
As long as the United States does not
attempt to sell its silver currency as bull
lien in the markets of the world. and as
long as the amount OF its fiat silver dol
lars Is so limited that it can keep its
pledge to maintain these dollars as good as
gold, irrespective of their intrinsic value
the supposed loss resulting to it from an
increase of the fiat percentage in its sill
no substantial injury.
The sound money men who shed no tears
over this sbadowy and at present unfelt
loss from silver's decline believe thai
through this decline the danger of a vast
and substantial loss through independent
free coinage at IL to l will be more GER
talniy averted. They are neither foolish
nor unpatriotic, except in the eyes of free

the controversy. How can the national

cess in Maryland, and so far as it notes the
preliminary maneuvers to bring that sue
cess about will not be likely to look with
any disfavor on those who manifest a
greater interest in the cause than in them
selves. The administration, in a word,
having seen the republicans of Maryland
reject bossism. may not be expected to Try
TO re-e5tablish through patronage, the evil

The game is still in the hands of the
sound money men, and will be, safely, until
the new primaries are held. The battle
can be wen in November, and if it is rot,
it will not be difficult to fix the response

shape can easily lose the fight.
