vision is to be brought about any more
than he has formed an opinion as to
what ought to be done, for he says:
II, therefore, Congress in its wisdom shall
deem 1t expedient TO create a commission TO
take under carly consideration the revision Of
our coinage, banking and currency laws, and
give them that exhaustive, careful and dis
passionate examination that their Importance
demands, l shall cordially concur in such &C.
tiOn.
And il Congress does not see fit to
create such commission, the President
will do it Of his own notion il he finds
that he has authority to do 80. Here
are his words:
II such power is vested in the President, IT
is my purpose to appoint commission OF
prominent, wsll.informed citizens OF different
parties, who will command public confidence
both on account Of their ability and special
fitness for the work.
Concerning international bimetallism,
the President says 'it will have early and
earnest attention" It will be his "con-
stant endeavor to secure it by CO-opera-
tion with other great commercial
nations;" but until that result is reached,
the present methods and practices must
remain in force and operation.
Until that condition is realized when the
parity between our gold and silver money
springs from and is supported by the relative
value Of the two metals, the value OF the silver
already coined, and Of that which may here
after be coined, must be kept constantly st
par with gold by every resource at our COM
mBnd. The credit Of the government, the I'm
tegrity Of its currency, and the inviOlability
Of its obligations must be preserved. This
was the commanding verdict Of the people
and IL will not be unheeded.
Economy is demanded, and under
present conditions we can economize only
by reducing expenditures. But the Pres
ident says we must change present con-
ditions by increasing receipts, and then
he points the way-prOtection. We all
understand what that means - more
taxes. He thinks our financial difficult
ties are mostly due to deficiency of reve-
nues, though at the moment he uttered
the words there was 100000 in the
National treasury subject to draft, and
more tnsn one-half Of it was gold coin
and bullion. He has conviction that
about all that sils the country is lack Of
money in the treasury, and he says that
condition must not remain. Returning
prosperity must and will come through
more tariff taxation.
The kind Of tariff is not left in doubt.
No more internal taxation, not a cent
more ON beer and whisky; no tax on in
comes, nothing on great landed estates;
all must come from additional taxes on
articles that are imported from other
countries and 30 levied as to increase
prices on many necessary things in every
day life.
II is to be regretted, but it is true, that
there is nothing encouraging in these
uttersnCes. They give no assurance Of

The Best Remedy for Rheu-
matiSm.

From the Fairhaven IN. W Register.
James Rowland of this village
states that for twenty-five years
his wife has ben sufferer from
rheumatism. A few nights ago
she was in such pain that she
was nearly crazy. She sent Mr..
Rowland for the doctor, but he
had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead of going for
the physician he went to the
store and secured a bottle of it.
His wife did not approve OF Mr..
Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the Balm
thoroughly and in al hours
time was able to go to sleep. She
now applies it whenever she
feels an ache or a pain and finds
that it always gives relief. He
says that no medicine which she
had used ever did her as much
good. The Is and 50 cents sizes

OVER-WORK.

A fair measure of work is
good for mind as we'll as body
Man is an intelligence sustained
and preserved by bodily organs
and their active exercise is nec'
essary to the enjoyment Of
health. It is not work, but over.
work that is hurtful; and it is
not hard work that is injurious
as muc, as montonous work
tagging, HOPELESS work. All hope
full work is healthful, and to be
usefully and hopefully employ
ed is one of the great secrets
of happiness. Brain work, in
moderation, is no more wearing
then other kind of work. Duly
regulated, it is as promotive OF
health as bodily exercise when
due attention is paid to the ply
sicial system. Merely to eat and
drink and sleep ones way idly
through lite is vastly more in
iurous. The wear>and-tear of
rust is even faster than the wear
and-tear of work.
But over-work is always bad
economy. 1t is, in fact, great
vast, especially if conjoined with
worry. Indeed, worry kills far
more than work does. It frets,
it excites, it consumes the body,
as sand and grit, which occasion
excessive friction, wear out the
wheels of a machine. Over>
work and worry have both to be
garded against. For over brain
work is strain work, and it is
cxhausting aud destructive &C
cording as it is in exces of nature.
And the brain>worker may ex,
haust and over-balance his mind
by excess, just as the athlete
may over-strain his muscles and
may break his back by attempts
ing feats beyond the strength of
his physical system. Worry tears
faster than work.

WOMEN MUST UNBONNET.

Rev. R. F. Johounot, of Unity
Church, Oak Park, Chicago,
says he does not propose to have
the theatre more advanced than
the church, and has ordered that
hereafter women will unbonnet
themselves during services. lie
believes that the church of the
future will have a dressing room
where ladies can leave their hats
and wraps and check room for
overcoates and umbrellas.
81 do not ask my people III a
compulsory spirit to remove
their hats" he says. ri suggest
it as a matter of courtesy, first
to the church, next to their past
or. AS l said in public, l have
two reasons. One, and the main
one, is that other people may en-
joy the privileges OF the sanct>
uary; the other, that the assemb-
led worshippers many look more
homelike. The women have
accepted the edict in a friendly
spirit of acquiescence. The leaven
is working we'll, and l must ex>
press my gratitude to the young
women of the choir who led the
way. OF course, there are some
of the members who will never
change a custom until there is
change of fashion. AS soon as il
is fashionable to sit in church
without a bonnet all the ladies
will adopt it,"

MAY HELP CUBA.

There is a movement OH foot
among the Representatives and
Senators in Washington, who
are favorable to according bel
ligerent rights TO Cuba, to turn
their back upon the tariff until
the Cuban questions is settled.
They believe that by such a
procedure they will be able to
force into line those who are an
xious to have the new tariff bill
60 through, but who are against
the recognition Of Cuban belll-
gerency. The scheme appears
to be favorable upon its face, and
perhaps when the tariff makes
understand that the passage of
the tariff bill depends upon the
passage of the Cuban matter
they may come to terms.
Of course there is a difference
of opinion on the question, as to
the wishes of the people, wheth-
er the majority prefers the new
tariff bill to be enacted at once,
or that it give way to the relief
of Cuban along the lines of ac>
cording belligerent rights to
the insurgents, but if the public
could have its way there would
be no delay in settling the point
in favor of the latter questions
The friends of Cuba are still
hopeful that means will be found
to point the way the United
States should 60 in dealing with
Cuban question, and the belief
is that the mission of Mr.. Cali
houn to the island as the person
al representative of the President
| will result in good to the cause,
The report that Mr.. Calhoun
shall make to Washington will
have great deal to do of course
with the action of the adminis-
tration, but some of the Senator
ial friends of Cuba say that what
ever may be the conclusion OF
the President they are determin
ed not to support the new tariff
bill until the Cuban question is
disposed of, or that some measure
is adopted for the relief of the
people of the island This is a
bold stand, but who knows but
that it is necessary under the
circumstances. Norfolk Virgin
