The State Charities.

One of the most r~eprehensible acts
of the recent legislature, and there were
enough in all conscience tina will be
long remembered. was their interfer-
ence with the charitable institutions
of the state. There was not a whisper
of discomfort with their management
heard in any quarter, the officials were
and no n questioned their competent
cy. They understood thoroughly the
condition Of every one of the unfortu-
mates who are under their charge and
yet they are to be removed from office,
solely because some hungry members
of that conglomerated party which un-
fortunately now controls the state are
hankering after pie and must have
it or die.
It is a shame that these institutions
should be dragged into the cesspool Of
politics, and cruel as it is shameful. In
1876 when the democrats secured the
control of the state they found a re-
publican at the head of the Oldest and
largest of these institutions of charity
and they refused to remove him, on ac-
count Of his long experience and IA
miliarity with the duties Of the posi-
ton. although there were many thor
oughly competent applicants for the
place. They argued that politics should
have nothing to do with state charities
and that a change Of officials, simply
for political reasons would not be con-
tenanced. They felt that their first
duty was for the benefit and comfort
of those helpless beings who were shut
out from the world and who were
familiar with their keepers and had
learned to love them, and thai to put
strangers in their places would be an
act of cruelty if not of barbarism, and
no change was made.
1t has been reserved for the present
regime to institute a new order of
things, to care less for suffering hu-
manity and more for the howlers for
pie" 1t is to be hoped that the clam
orous hyenas will be gorged after
awhile.

Hon. II. s. JONES has introduced
a bill in the house, repeating the
act providing for reform school at
this place, and providing that all
donations and property vested by
virtue of said act shall revert back
to the original owners.
The Haley News-Miner says:
1.-THE fact that 80 many so-called
Silver Republicans in the State have
gone over to Mckinley since cleo
ton has ruined Dubois chances of
securing Democratic votes. The
Democrats are dreary of supporting
Republicans who play double, and
who don't pretend to stand on the
Democratic platform"
In glancing over one of our ex-
changes we found the following
beautifully written article, which
should be read by every boy and
girl in Gilmore county, as we'll as by
fathers and mothers: Lift your hat
reverently when you meet the teach
er of a primary school. She is the
good angel Of the republic. She
takes the bantling, fresh from the
home nest and full of pouts and
passions an ungovernable little
wretch whose mother admits she
sends him to school to get rid Of
him. This lady who knows her
business, takes car load of these
little anarchists, one of whom alone
and single handed is more than a
match for his parents, and at once
puts them in the way of being USE
full and upright citizens. At what
expense of toll and soul WEAKNESS?
Here is the most responsible posi-
ton in the whole school, and if her
salary was double, she would not
receive more than she earns.,'

Some of our thrifty miners, who
are LAYING up little every month
are using the postoflice as a sort of
savings bank, but they do not get
any interest on their deposits. 1t
has become common thing for
some Of the foreign-born miners to
get postal money order for large
amount on Wallace and hold it as
long as the law permits. draw the
money at Wallace and get an order
for the same amount on Murray.
By this exchange they keep their
money in the postoffice. These men
never think that by buying county
warrants at 95 cents on the dollar
they would be drawing one per cent
on their money, and the investment
would be just as safe as if their
money was in a government vault
The working man who has saved
up five or six hundred dollars will
find no safer place for his money
than county warrants. The war.

The Atlanta Journal makes the
sensational announcement that ev-

recent legislature. AS a result of
the operation of that measure the
American Tobacco Company, the
potash trust, the snuff trust, the
coffee trust, the match and other
trusts that have been operating in
Georgia have notified jobbers and
merchants throughout the State
handling their goods Chat the anti
trust act made their existing con-
tracts unlawful and they would,
therefore, no longer be consider ed

DEAFNESS Cannot He Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
|infiamed condition OF the mncuous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
re-restorsd to its normal condition,
hearing win be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con
dition Of the mucuous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

The officers Of Blaine county are
having a hard time of it rustling their
bonds, nearly all the property of the
county being On the delinquent list.
The demonet zation of silver has
bahkrupted tho county. Not only in
Blaine, but in nearly every county OF
the State, officials have great difficulty
in securing bondsmen. Bonds are al
together too high. They ought to be
reduced, or what would better yet,
abolish the official bond system al
together. wy never could understand
why few men should stand RESPONSE.
BILE Tor the acts of officials elected by
the people. If an official goes wrong,
let everybody suffer the consequences
in equal prof portion. There is no JUS
tice in heaping the burdens on the
shoulders Of few. If the bond sys-
tenn were abolished the people would be
more careful in casting their ballots
A large per cent oil the voters don't
care much who they vote for under
the present system. How often we
hear the expression, when an untrust-
worthy man is up for office: "Oh, i,
don't make any difference. II he rob-
the county his bondsmen will have Il
make it &c cod" The abolishing OF the
bond system would not only be in &C
cordance with the principle of equa
justice to all, but would insure the
election Of the very best men to Office

The success Of the suffrage
amendment will put to blush the
gallantry and chivalry of many a
man and make him stand up for
his legal rights, although the
charms of Helen or the beauty of
Venus be opposed to him. The
women must not be surprised at
this change of affairs. 1t comes
naturally with the change of the
law. If men should not be as gal
liant as they were last year, if they
be not as chivalrous as in days gone
by, if they be not as ready, Don
Quixote like, to attack a Windmill
for their lady love, the women must.
not be surprised, they must not feel
shocked, and must not give way to
hysterical and nervous prostration.
Such a thing will be as natural
as the night following day.-Black-
