Deafness Cannot be Cured

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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

1t cannot have the latter unless It has
the former; and, unless 1t has both,
railroads will steadily deteriorate and
the community lose. Congress ought
to pass the pooling act, which nearly

In default Of this, traffic associations
are necessary. It will be hoped that

Citations to render decision possible in
favor Of the lstCer when it comes be-
fore the Supreme Court, in spite of the
recent decision.
New York Sun: The economic effect
of the recent Supreme Court decision,
which makes agreements between rail-
ways with a view Of establishing equal
rates between shippers illegal, strikes
q serious blow at the heart of our rail
way system. The disastrous effects,
should this decision be maintained as
to all traffic agreements, are intensified
by reason of the present precsTious
condition of these properties, With
rates now lower than those of any
country In the world, with practically
half the stocks and bonds of an invest
ment representing ever a fifth of the
assets of the republic bringing neither
dividends nor interest, with a quarter
Of million less persons employed than
efficient service demands, and with all
sorts of other troubles falling thick
and fast, comes this last and still fur
theT depressing decision. Well may
the thousands upon thousands who
hold these securities and the million or
more who should be engaged operating
these great systems look with dismsy
upon this, the latest, complication In
problem so closely interviewer with the
prosperity of the nation and the well
fare Of 70 millions of people. The effect
of this Supreme Court decision may be
to undo the intelligent efforts on the
part of our great railway companies to
bring order and equality of rates out
of the chaos and discrimination which
existed when bankruptcy and panic
overlook 30 many railways in 1893-94.

stOp-Over Privilege at washington.

A ten day stop-over at Washington, DC,
is now granted on all through tickets be-
tween the East and West, via Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. Stop-over will also be
granted on the return journey made on
round trip tickets, within the final limit Of
such tickets, but not exceeding ten days.
Passengers will deposit their tickets with
the ticket agent at B. g. o. railroad sta
tion in Washington, who will retain them
until the journey is to be resumed, when
they will be made good for continuous
passage to destination by extension
or exchange. This arrangement win
doubtless be greatly appreciated by the
travelling public because it viii permit the
holders Of through tickets to make brief
visit to the National capital without addI-
tional outlay for railroad fare.

Better honest bsrbarism than the retic-

Galveston Tribune: There is a great
deal Of illconsIdered reasoning In the
newspaper approval of Congressman
Lsnham's bill horizontally reducing all
government salaries one.third. In
many cases, notably In the consular
and customs departments, salaries and
fees are alto gether out Of proportion to
services performed. But in the execu.

Of the government there is little or no
room for reduction.
DIR. Heron In the Commonwealth:
The whole social question is fast re-
solving itself into question Of whether
or not capital can be brought into sub
lection of law. The social revolution
is a search for lsw-for law that shall
have power to procure justice and
peace in place Of the chance and strife
that are everywhere the disorganiza.
tion of society. The revolution comes
not to destroy, but to organize society
with divine and desthless life.
Chicago Inter, Ocean: One of two
things is certain. Either the present
and recent stsgnatiOn of trade, from
which millions Of people suffer, and
suffer cruelty, is due to the currency or
to the tariff issue. The majority of
the people have decided that the cause
of the evil Is with the tariff. Reform
the tariff at once; reform it, as the
people wish, on the protective line, If
the result be well, all will be well. If
1t be not we'll, we shall have the cur
rency question as the sole issue.
Donnelly's Representative: That
campaign of last fall, under the leader
ship of Mark Hanna, was the most ter
rible and shameful piece Of rascality
ever known in this country. 1t will
constitute for all time to come q great
landmark In the history of corruption,
deception and intimidation. The plV-
otsl States were packed and colonized;
the workmen scared and the business
men bulldOzed. The recent elections
show the tremendous reVulsion that
has taken place in the public mind.

But we are firm In the conviction that
If that was the purpose of the law, and
If the law can be enforced to carry out

tation, but it will throw that trade into
chaos, and will 60 very far toward not
only restraining but destroying it.

ton that railway passes and other

valuable a possession to cast aside.

Chicago Journal: The idea that a
mans theories on gold, silver and the
tariff are any criterion as to his fitness
for the bench OF Cook County, Is quite
az absurd as the idea that such theories
are vindlcated or repudlsted by filing
the civil service of the city with polIti-
cal riffrsff.
Mail and Express: Strangely enough
the most importunate Office seekers
docking to Washington come from
States 10 which the Republicans got no
Electoral votes. These able patriots
are ready to do nearly everything but
carry an election for the party whose
favor they seek.
Boston Herald: The great defect Of
our form of government is that 1t can
not be amended, and hence 1t is not
unlikely that the time may come when
q crisis which might be overcome If
our organic structure was a little more
flexible will end, because of itR rigidity,

Richmond State: The gold-bugs, in

There has been a studied effort in re-
publican channels to put a great deal OF
stress upon the Importance of the report
OF the monetary commission raised by
the Indianapolis conference, as if it was
q body OF superior financial intelligence
and would produce something on TIE
money question far superior to anything
yet advanced. 10 this, we believe the
country will be greatly disappointed.
While Secretary Cages plan, is far from
being satisfactory and would be far
from solving the difficulties and reliev-
ing the distress brought upon our nation
by the present gold standard, we believe
it ls tie best that can Do devised from
q republican standpoint or 'y those who
think only along capltalistic lines or in
behalf of capitalistlc interests. All Mr..
Cages interests and experiences have
been along these lines and he cannot see
things from anyother standpoint if he
tried. Neither the disposition or bent
OF mind is in him to do otherwise. And
so it will be with the Hanna monetary
commission. The men that composed
tne conferences which raised the COM
mission we're all OF that stripe, the COM
mission they appointed were more SO,
and We have nothing to expect other
than a plan to delude the misses and
focton pnnro rrovnooh1v s1n0n tho
country all the iniqulties Of the single
gold standard. The chief glory and
recommendation of the commission as a
financial body is that it was raised by a
conference, called, engineered and pre-
sided over by a man named Hanna,
brother of Mark Hanna, "the labor
crusher," presumably to carry out the
ideas OF the "labor crusher" himself.
This is what has given the commission
90 much eclat with the republican press
and politicians, and on the other hand is
regarded with so much suspicion and
mistrust by the people. Had the com
mission been composed of men of all
shades of financial views and they had
labored thus long, arduous!y and
secretly on the subject it might have
been expected that they would produce
something for the good of the country
that a large majority of the people could
agree upon and set the matter at rest.
