The storms and winds of trouble and
sickness assail the mariner on lies seas.
He must be clear-headed and stronghold
led if he would successfully combat them.
The man who works with his hands, and
the man who works with his brains, must
have healthful, wholesome body, or he
will fail. A blacksmith can't do good
work if he is weak and sick from impure
blood, poor digestion and weak lungs.
The LAWYER cannot strongly plead his
clients cause if the brain is full of impur-
tiles and his nerves are racked by sleep
lessness and unrest.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is a money maker because it puts body
and brain in perfect trim for work. 1t
makes stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys
do their proper work. 1t helps the food
to digest and supplies blood and nerves
and brain with Just the material each
needs. Weak and nervous men and
women become strong and vigorous with
its use. For thirty years 1t has been
recognized as the best of all tonics and
blood makers.
Ninetenths of all the ills that human flesh IS
heiI to are due to constipation. If people never
became constipated, or promptly renewed t fsl
constipation by resort to the right remedy the
doctors would starve to death. Headache, heart.

other ills due TO constipation, and consupa-

Gef and the Cabinet.

In conversation with prominent gen
ueInan here recently. Judge Goff, of the
United States Circuit Court. said that he
should not go into the Cabinet unless he
was forced TO do so. One Of his reasons
was that he was averse TO residing in
Washington.
In event that Judge Con accepts the
attorney-generalship. Judge Morris, OF
Maryland, viii, in all probability, be his
successor.
Speaking of Judge Morris recently,
Chief-Justice Fuller said that ne believed
him to be one Of the best district judges
in America.

There appears to be no doubt that the
Senate and House conferees are at dead
lock over the sugar schedule of the tariff
bill. This schedule as originally
made by Chairman Dingley and the ways
and means committee gave to refined
sugar fair amount of protection. But
when the bill reached the Senate, where
VIGOROUSLY the Sugar Trust has always
been potent, under the lead of Senator
Aldrich of Rhode Island the bill was SO
amended as to greatly increase the protec-
ton on refined sugar and hence the profit
to the Sugar Trust. Under the impress
ion that the Senate schedule would be
retained sugar certificates have been
booming" of Late, which is proof enough
that the Senate schedule was an exceed
ingly favorable one to the trust
Undoubtedly the Senate conferees ex-
pected that the House would readily yield,
and it would not be surprising in view
of what has happened in the past if some
of the Senators had laid in good stock of
sugar certificates for a rise on the
expectation. The Senate in 1894
had dictated the sugar schedule
against the protest of the House and why
should it not dictate it again in 1897?
Were not the same arguments applicable
in 1897 that were applicable in 1894? Was
there not a party majority in the House
and the lack of one in the Senate, and for
this reason would not the House conferees
see that it was necessary for them to yield
in order to get the needed votes to pass
the bill in the Senate? 1t is to be said to
the credit of the House conferees that they
have not yet been made to see the neces-
sity of surrendering to the Sugar Trust
in order to get a tariff law, and that some
of them go SO far as to declare that the
bill had better fail altogether than that
the Trust should have the fixing of the
schedule on one of the most important
necessaries of life. It is said that the
Mr.. Reed has urged the House conferees
to stand up for their sugar schedule. If
Mr.. Reed has made enemies in that Way
he is to be congratulated. Every enemy
that he makes thus will be offset
by a hundred friends that he will make
among the people. But Mr.. Reed has
none of the demagogue in his compost
ton, and if he is fighting the Senate
sugar schedule it is not to gain popular
applause, but simply because he conceives
it to be his duty to do So Whether il
made for him friends or enemies Mr..
Reed has always been true to his convic-
tions.

There are no indications of failing men
tai powers in Secretary Sherman's in
structions to Ambassador Hay in relation
to the protection of the fur seal. The in
structions are strong and pointed, and he
seems to make out very strong case
against the British government of in
difference toward the agreements arrived
at by the Paris tribunal and assented to
by the parties who took part in it, if not
of bad faith He shows conclusively that
the patrol maintained by the British in
Behring Sea has been Of the most made
quate and feeble description, and that
the British government has refused it's
assent to measures likely to be efec-
tive in putting an end to the killing OF
the seal with firearms. Mr.. Sherman S
despatch is said to be hotly resented by
the British government and the British
people. 1t naturally would be. Nations
like to be reminded of their shortcomings
and bad faith no better than individuals.
But resentment will accomplish nothing.
Unless England can prove that the Sec
rotary charges are untrue she will stand
convicted of bad faith, of agreeing to
abide by the decision of arbitrators and
then neglecting to do the things their de-
cision directed to be done.
