Deafness Cannot be cnrea

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an iniiamed condition of the mucous hnln& Of the Eustachian Tubs. When this tube gets inhamed you have rumhling gpnnd or i'm perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unIess lhe inflammation can be taken out and this tuDe restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by eataTah, which is nothing but an unframed condition of the mucous surfaces.

RETIRE THE GREENBAcKS

Certainly it is impossible to dc fend the mode in which the green backs are now managed While they are convertible into species that is, into gold-Congress has in no way determined how large a stock of goid shall be kept for their redemption; nay, has in no way pro vided any separate stock of gold for that purpose. The so-ealled gold reserve exists simply because there is an excess of available cash in the Treasury over current liabili- ties. That excess swells and dimin- ishes with increase or decrease of public revenues as compared with expenditures. The reserve is thus dependent upon the accident of the financial condition of the Treasury. Much has been said Of late of the need of Increasing the revenue as a means Of strengthening the iinan- cial portion of the Treasury. Very likely an increase of revenue is needed; but the whole system by which the resources at the Treas ury's command for redeeming the paper money issued by it are made to depend on the relation of the cur rent outgo by appropriations is vicious and indefensible. Depend ent as our Federal revenue is main ly on receipts from customs, it is inevitably subject to wide fuctua- tions; and we must expect in future, as we have had in the past, some years of excessive revenue and some years of deficient revenue. This will happen under any tariff system as long as tho resources of revenue are uncertain and irregu- lar. No measure of present taxa tion can cure these difficulties, which are inherent in the system it. self From Retire the Green backs Without Delay by Prof. F. ". Taussig, in January Reriev Of Repieacs

A BANK FAILURE.
The CommerciaI Bank of Selma. Ala

Goes to the Wall.
 BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 31. The Commercial Bank of Selma, failed to open its doors yesterday. The Commercial Bank was established in 1880 and had a paid-up capital of $500, 1000, undivided profits $50,0OO.
 R. M. Nelson, president of the Commercial, is well known in Ala bama and has for many years been prominent in financial circles. He is regarded a as conservative bank CT. There are two other banks in Selma, one very small concern. The other IS the City National Bank, which is regarded as the most sub- stantial financial institution in the State.

 alone, to pay for the iron and roll ing stock of the railroad, expressly stipulating that the State assumes no personal liability
 3. We think it would be legal for the State to employ her surplus con yicts in building railroad or by leasing them to some railroad com panyiand taking pay for use of such convicts in bonds secured by q mortgage on the property, or she could hire them for Q normal con sideration.
 These propositions conceded to be correct, the next question is the policy of the movement.
 We cannot conceivesof a doubt as to this Every railroad which en- ters the State, besides bringing i'm mediate developments along it's line, adds to the integral wealth and i'm provement of the entire State.
 The State has been, and is now, engaged in the share-crop experi- ment, and while it is a possible ex- pedient for the use of its convicts, it is subject to the objections natur- ally arising from our crop infrma- ties such as arise from weather vicissitadcs It would be impossible, so fine are her resources, to run a railroad through any part of Ark ansas, which, economically handled, would not furnish remunerative dividends. This being true, the State would be amply secured either in using or for the hired use of this labor for this purpose When once constructed, its lease. if owned by the State, or the taxes, if belong ing to a company, arising from it, would be valuable to the people.
 When enterprising capitalists see that they can get good labor to handle the simple construction ma- chlnery and do the work necessary to construct a railroad, on time, secured by the construction, they will eagerly take hold of it.
 We have fully 500 able bodied men in tte penitentiary, and this force, with modern railroad build ing machinery, can affect very great mileage of new road each year.
 Of course, if the State should un- dertake the work, there would be some jealousies and biekefings as tc location, but our people are rational, patriotic and conservative, and this trouble would adjust itself. 1T this should be the policy, there are men in Pine Bluff who would not be lacking in ingenuity to ac- compfsh something for her,
 If the labor is to be leased to a company then our business men, if they would arouse themselves and organize, at a very little outlay oi cash, we can get direct connection with Malvern and Warren within two years. Each of these lines would go through as fine timber belts as there is in the South, and uplands of the finest grade for farm ing, now dependent upon long dis tance wagon hauls.
 Col. G. w. Sappington, of Little Rock, has been for years investigat- ing and urging this project, and while we are not so high in our calculation as to the results, as IS he, the movement is certainly possible, promises valuable returns and should command the most careful thoughts of our Legislature, for we regard this as the most interesting and necessary subject which will come before that body.

Fairness and It viii Become More Than
Ever the Favorite Amusement.
This Is most encouraging ending OF
the most important series OF games In
season not otherwise marked by encour7
aging events. When the season of 1897
opened II was confidently hoped that 10
would show n revival of interest In base
ball. Business was growing better and
a disposition was manifest among base
ball managers to correct the errors which
had for several years been bringing thl
game into dfsrepute. How these hoped
wer quickly blasted st Is not necessary
now TO relate. Poor playing and a con-
sequent lack OF interest on the part OF the
public were soon evident. But worse
than this, the season has been disgraced
by an unusual number OF disputes be-
tween players and umplres and by un-
seemly disturbances on the field. These
had become so frequent and reprehensl-
BILE that dissolution OF the game was
apprehended.
The Baltimore and Boston series OF
games came In at an opportune time to
correct this impression and to practically
end theseason Of 1897 in good shape. They
proved that high-class base ball can be
played and that II pnys to play II. as IL

tended the three games. If the same

games has been played laps over into the
