To the Public: take pleasure in tes-
tifying to my marvellous recovery under
the treatment of DIR. Wong Him of 6S9
Upper Main street, Los Angeles, from
number of stubborn ailments, among
which were chronic sickheadaches, dys-
pepsia and kindred stomach troubles.
heart affection and kidney disease.
But what 1 consider this physician .excelled
in, so far as my case is concerned, was in
the restoration of my eye service. Astigma-
tism, coupled. with other disorders, was my
affiction in this respect, and. although a
number of well-known skilled oculists In
some of the larger cities of this country
advised me l should always have TO de-
pend upon glasses and receive but poor SER
vice even then, DR.. Wong Him's remedies
have enabled me to abandon totally the use
of any artificial help to sight, and my eyes
continue to give such service, both for
near work and distant, as is truly wonder
full. To the skill and remedies of the ply
sician named can alone be attributed a rev.
olution in my physical condition through
out that puzzles those who knew of the
'incurable" character of my Affections.
Respectfully, G. l.. PLOWMAN.

short time the feeling seemed firm. But
the trade soon began to suspect manpuia-
tion abroad, and the buyers got more eau
tious. Then came rumors of the failure OF
Barney Barnato, the great Kaffir stock
operator of London and South Africa. and
In anticipation of possible business panic
abroad the speculative feeling turned bear
ish. The reported failure, however, was
not confirmed. Perhaps the principal bear
factor was the fair weather west. Reports
of rain day by day have finally made some
of the bears apprehenslve, and when at last
the sun broke through the clouds 1t gave
the bears renewed courage. st. Louis was
a heavy seller in this market. Northwest

attend to. When ''The Age of Reason''
appeared, the Church of England people
and the Puritans dominated the religious
thought OF, this land. The clergymen
of the first we're royalists almost to man
and hated Paine for political reasons;
the parsons Of the latter had not become
broad enough to tolerate a man who OBJ
jected to boring the tongues of Quakers
and witch burning as mild religious di-
versions, no matter what services he had
rendered their country and mankind.
The author of our liberties was fairly
bounded to death by these harpies, and
ever since putrld tide of "Christian"
calumny has rolled across his sepulchre.
10 this good day the makers of Ameri-
can histories and cyclopedias dare not
accord to Thomas Paine the credit that
is justly his due lest they lose few
dirty dollars.
But the tide of falsehood is ebbing,
and some future generations will do him
justice. The day will assuredly come
when even the star of Washington will
pale before that of Paine-when tie

The Cuban congress has decided that

sent by the newly-elected president to
the Junta in New York:

elected mayor of Greater New York: Z
The nomination of Henry George brings
int" the campaign for control of the
greater New York one of the bravcst
ana slncerest personalities IN Ane1ican
politics. He is the unAinching foe Of
corporate greed and political corruption.
He stands for ideas. He is the servant
Of no boss. He is man Of the people.
The enthusiasm which he excites among
his followers is unique phenomenon in
the politics IF the day. It is a tribute
to his character that those who do not
accept his ideas are among his warmest
admirers. His honesty is as obvious
as his unseltishness. Henry George is
one of the very few Americans who by
the sheer force of his intellect alone has
gained worldwide celebrity. And he
is poor man, another phenomenon
among those conspicuous in politics.

w. G.. Brann of Brann's Iconoclast has
written noble defense of Thomas Paine.
Commenting on Washington's treatment
of the great lover of liberty, when the
latter was langulshing in the Luxe1n-
bourg prison, he says:
The time has not yet come to pass
final judgment upon Geo. Washington
and Thomas Paine. AS the general in a
successful revolution that appeals so
strongly to national pride, and first pres
ident of the Republic we so dearly love,
the temptation to apotheosize the one is
strong, while it is at present impossible
to view the other except thro' the dis
tortlng glass of religious prejudice.
Some few are now willing to admit that
the foster father of his country had some
faults, that he was trifls phlegmatic,
had an exalted opinion of himself, and
was very much for Mr. washington. True,
he rebuked those who desired to make
him king; but then Caesar had the tact
to put back the crown he could not wear.
He wanted no pay for his services, but
accepted it all the same. He was a Fed
eralist, and feared the people might be-
come too free, that the chief magistrate
would not be quite enough of monarch.
Paine was Democrat to the hearts
core, and at that time all-powerful with
the people--a rather awkward fellow to
have around while the principles of the
nation were forming. As man Wash.
angton might really regret the peril of
