only known cure for this deadly dis
ease. 1t will free the system of the
poisons that cause Cancer and other
morbid growths. Even after Cancer
has a deep foothold, it will cure, but
1t takes longer. 1t is n medicine
that goes right down to the very
roots OF life in the blood, and forces
out every vestige of inpurity. 1t
goes to the seal of the most obstin-
ate cases. which arc beyond the
reach of other blood remedies.
No sufferer who cares for life can
afford to lose time will, surgical
operations or torturing plasters, as
such treatment cannot reach the
blood. Swift's Specific is the
only Real Cancer Cure on the face
of the earth.

Crowded Professions.

According to some recent statistics,
there are more lawyers in the United
States. in proportion to the population
than in any other country on the globe.
In this country there are 10000 attorne.s.,
one to every 800 inhabitants. France has
only one lawyer to every 5000 inhabi-
tants; Germany to every $500 and Eng
land ranks with Germany in this matter.
1t is impossible to avoid the conclusion
that the legal profession is overcrowded
on this side of the water. Every year
thousands of ambitious Youngsters are
added to the bar and thousands retire
from the practice to seek other means of
earning a livelihood. They are attract
ed to this profession because it is regard
ed as the gate way to public life. 1t is
easy to gain admission, and the calling
is considered in the highest degree hon
orable and genteel
But the other professions suffer the
same disadvantages. Too many people
are trying to earn a living in them. There
is something wrong in the system of
education. If it is going to train up mil
lions of young men who feel themselves
above commercial and Industrial occu-
pations, 1t will result in burdening the
country with the useless class of con-
sumers who will have to be supported by
the industrious and thrifty. It is time
to make the boys understand that the
most tempting prizes are within the
reach of superior men who distinguish
themselves in business, in mechanical
industries. in agriculture and in all sci
entific pursuits.
The model citizen who makes himself
comfortable and prosperous as a manu-
facturer merchant, farmer or skilled ar
tisan is far better off than the struggling
professional man, and these classes are
more largely represented in public life
every year. These points should be i'm
pressed upon the rising generation.

of the next century? How do the common
people of the two sections Stand in re-
gard to homes. mortgages and debts? The
writer quoted from says:
The census puts down $685. $50 white fam
Eies IN Georgia who have homes, and
says THAT So per cent. of these are paid
Tor; Mississippi and South Carolina, SO
per cent. each Massachusetts has 49,
900 families owning homes, but 81 per
cent. of them are mortgaged New York
has 100000 homes, and Al per cent. are
montgaged and the compiler says more
than 80 per cent of all THE home encum-
ORANGES of the United State is in the
north Atlantic and north central d1viS ons
only AZ per cent. is on chic homes of the
south Atlantic states. The mortgages on
lAlassa chusetbts homes amount to $102, 94S,-
1885, Just think of it-pondar i-rumi-
nate over it-over one hundred millions of
debt against the common people of one
little state having about double the whi. e
population of Georgia. Can they ever
pay 1T? Nelw York is but little better,
having $245, 900, 900. In fact, the whole
north is covered as with a blanket by
debt, and the millionaires are elhe owners
of it.
This win do for the present. When the
sections are placed under the search light
of the census the south makes showing
which her people may point to with pride.
In all the essentials of civilization the
south is in the lead.

Money and Its Power.

Rev. Sam Jones is In the dumps be-
cause he has come to the conclusion that
money rules the world, in the church, as
we'll as in the state. It is believed by
some shrewd observers that Mr.. Jones
made this discovery some years ago, and
like prudent and wide-awake Christian,
has been feathering his nest ever since.
And why not? When a person finds
out that money Us a power in every circle
of society, it is the part of wisdom and
enough of the stuff to enable one at least
to hold their own. Good people need
money, as ws,.l as bad people, and the
more wealth. a good man has, the fnore
useful he will be able to make himself in
the service OF God and humanity. With
in reasonable limits, On honorable and
God-fearing ways. it is right and COM
mendable in a man to try to accumulate
property. Junius was more than half
right when he said that man without
competency could not be happy, or even
honest
EVERY man should try to be self-sup-
porting, and he should. If possible, lay
aside a sufficient provision for his old
age. In these days there is no room in
the world for the philosopher who is a
pauper. Philosophy is a luxury for those
who can pay their bills. 1t is rank folly
when 1t falls from the lips of the drone
who is supported by others.
If Diogenes and his tub blocked the
sidewalk in this progressive age the old
musician would be sent to the poor house
or this chain gang. Money rules, does 1t.
Mr. Jones? Very well. then let the people
take care not to be Its slaves. But aet
them learn how to make the worlds ruler
more of benefactor than tyrant.

OPINIONS OF A BACHELOR.

The Bachelor is not as had as he looks,
though he is accustomed to being abused
by those who have not the courage to Lell
their own honest convictions. He read
in Sundays issue the criticisms of those
who belong to the above class. They are
not philosophers, but slaves to- public
opinion.
The Young Gill;" who wrote so charm
fngly ON The subject and signed herself
r. G. B., win accept THE first offer she
has, bur THE man win back out in less
than a month after. She Is dead anxious
to marry and has never had am offer,
though she is old enough to have had fifty
proposals
The disappointed man, &c. C. "A" has
a great head. He knows his business.
The lawyer, ct. w. X" shows signs of
being a professional divorce lawyer, and
encourages marriage as a future matter
of business for himself. He knows his
busfps SIS also.
The marrying man, wv. R. H." hoped
to deceive some rich girl into marrying
him. He is playing game of bluff.
a.
a woman who has seriously contemplated
going to North Dakota and procure a di-
vorce without permitting hsr husband to
know anything alb out It. She Should go to
New York, where /. Is easier and requires
but one cause. Then, besides, New
York divorce is genuine.
The henpecked man, "W. H. K," was
afraid to tell the truth. He was the SUBJ
ject of intimidation far worse than were
the laboring people in the last campaign
by Ghe iron rule of Mark Hanna
The married woman, "R. s. g." wrote
as she did TO make her husband believe
she sbfll loves him Hers was a bluff
game also.
The new husband, IS. U. W" spoke the
truth, just as millions before him have
said.
The old maid, IL T. H." has spent the
greater portion of her fife asking men to
marry her. None were foolish enough to
accept, which shows that some men are
wondrous wise.
Such opinions as were set forth by The
writer's above referred to aid in making
Ghe world seem cold, cherries and de-
cep.ive. They are not the friends of hu-
manity. They are responsible for great
deal of the misery of the present age.

Spain and Cuba.

Notwithstanding Gen. Weyler's recent
card, There is good reason to believe that
the reports of the cruel treatment of Sc
norlta Cisnsros by the Spanish authorities
in Cuba are substantially correct. This
young grill is the niece of the Cuban pres
ident, and it is probable ehat on this
account she has been singled out by Wey-
ler's subordfnates for disgrace and per-
s5cution.
Tn one Cuban province many young wo-
men who failed to dress in black a1ter the
ssassination of Canoyas were sent to
jail in chains for fority-eight hours and
confined with criminals of the lowest
class. One hundred and fifty orphans of
insurgents are now in s1avary, and the
girls have been horribly treated. Under
the circumstances, 1t is the duty of this
republic Ito interfere In behalf of THE
struggling Cubans. The revolt has now
lasted three years and half, and lit is
evident that Spain, in her bankrupt con-
ditlon camraot subdue the islanders or
was recalled because he could not sup
press the rebellion, but Weyler, with
200 900 soldiers, has been equally unsuc-
cessful after eighteen months of vigor-
GUS warfare.
Against the large Spanish army the
| Cubans have never at any one time had

confidence will make themselves felt in

confidence will make themselves felt in
every circle.
But during this era of prosperity it
would be wise to prepare for another
period of depression which will come as
surely as the night follows the day, as
the winter succeeds the summer In this
country panic is periodical calamity.
Prosperity causes thousands of new en-
terprises to start up. and over-production
naturally follows Then, when the farm
ers and manufacturers and miners have
oyerstocked the market, prices fall, la
Dor is in less demand, securities weaken,
creditors want their money and then
there is a season of hard times. In the
old days panics occurred about once in
every fifteen or twenty years, but they
will be of more frequent occurrence now,
because the facilities for over-production
have multiplied. In five or six years
producers can overstock the markets of
the world, and thus bring about another
period of depression.
1t would be we'll for the people to bear
these facts in mind as they go along.

while they may, and at the same time
relax none of their efforts to improve
their financial system, reach out for the
trade of other countries, build up profita-

learned the benefits of hard work and
economy, they should not forget the les
