Concerning DrunkardS.

The nineteenth century method Of
correcting an evil is, first of all, to ap-
point a commission to inquire into its
history as far back as history goes, to
investigate it's effects ON the social and
economic life Of community and to then
dip into prophecy as to the probable ef-
feet OH the public, provided the evil were
suppressed. The Investigations continue
sweetly year after year, never apparently
reaching the point where remedial meas
ures are sharply and thoroughly applied.
But the Investigations of the committee
are always published in huge tones that
nobody reads.
Entirely illustrative of this method of
reforming the world is that admirable
committee of fifty which has under
taken to lessen the universal evil of the
drink habit Its members are scattered
through the country. They are divided
into groups, committees and subcom-
mittecs, each with it's own particular
task. The groups begin with the first
and most important one of ways and
means. Its task is to find money to carry
Itself and the other groups. Other Target
general departments are the physiolog-
ical and pathological group, the legisla-
tive, the economic and ethical groups,
with the Unnecessary srhdivision.,' Of
course.
By the time this wise and altogether
to be commended committee gets ready
to make its report the year 1897 will be
on the world. Nevertheless, success tC
the committee of fifty for the suppression
of the drink habit!

AS British Historians Sec Us.

The New England Magazine does good
service in laying before its readers some
extracts from British histories dealing
with the American Revolution. The ed
tier has selected in every case the COM
mon school textbooks and volumes pre-
pared in simple style for popular read
ing. It is to be noted that the British
writers deal with the Revolution in a
spirit Of fairness and generosity that
seems Incredible to Americans. Com
pared to the British story of the Ameri-
can Revolution some Of the school his
tories prepared by our own writers seem
like child's stories, in which purposely
all the good people are perfect and all
the bad people incapable Of anything
but depravity.
The British histories generally take
the ground that the American colonists
were right in resisting the tea tax i'm
posed to pay for King George Ills Eu-
ropean wars. After detailing the Cir
cumstances of the Boston tea party
LOngman's Reader says:
After this it was seen that, neither side
would give in, nothing but war could end
the quarrel. Then both sides got ready to
fight. 1t sad sight to see men Of the
same race fighting against each other. The
colonists chose Il brave and good man named
George Washington to be their leader. He did
not want to fight against the king, but he loved
freedom, and he thought that the king was
treating the colonists unjustly. So he was
willing to spend his money and his life in the
good cause. The war lasted for about seven
years. The French helped the colonists, and
in the end the colonists won, and so they were
free. Since that time they have had no king
over them, and they have become one Of the
greatest nations upon earth, for in the land
that is called the United States there are
over Co. OCO,CCO people, and the vast country
that was at one time the home of bands Of row
ing Indians is now pcopled by English speak
ing folks.

Our fellow townsman, c.. A. Jack,
the druggist, did not expect so soon to
get favorable reports from applicants
who procured from him free samples
of DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills.
The tests made so far by the users of
the free samples, show that these re-
marllable pills produce favorable re-
suits with a degree of quickness here
tOfore unknown in the treatment of
Kidney, Bladder and Blood diseases,
and allied ailments.
Those who have used them have
been encouraged to persevere with the
treatment, knowing that they could
not expect the five days treatment con.

standing the remarkable results OBJ.
tanned so far, would effect a com
plete cure. Kidney disease is of i'm.
perceptible and insidious growth; it
takes months to develop even the
symptoms. Reason and experience
suggest that it takes more than few
days to cure. Fortunately DR.. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills begin the goo6
work of cure with the first dose. The
results are evident from the beginning
The delightful effects of these Pills
induce the patient to continue thei1

Montana promises to become the great
meat producing state of the Union.
She has now 100000 sheep. There
seems to be something in her noun
tain pastures particularly favorable to
the growth of wool and mutton. The
air is pure and SO cold in winter that
an extra fine, thick fleece is devel-
oped on sleeps back. The feeces last
year averaged 7.37 pounds apiece in
weight, remarkable showing for the
whole state. The only drawback was the
very low price of wool, but the Montana
stockmen can obviate this by breeding
sheep primarily for first class mutton.
Lamb chops are becoming choice deli
cacy. The Montana beef industry is also
assuming great proportions.

Timothy E. Byrnes Has Arrived From

Timothy E. Byrnes of Minnesota arrived
in Washington vest erday from Lake Cham
plain, where he has been for some time.
Mr.. Byrnes was sergeant-at-arms of the
national convention which nominated Mr..
Mckinley, and is a personal friend of the
President. He says that the President
seems to have enjoyed his vaca ton, and
to have been benefited by the change.
THE President he said, cannot be
said 20 have had a rest, since hts time has
been occupied during nearly the whole of
his vacation, but there has been change
frCm the taxing opportunities of Office
seekers and official duties to an occupation
wficn has been mostly social in its charac-
ter. / do not any particular change
in the Presidents appearance, but Re
seems to be well and thoroughly con-
tented"
In speaking of the general outlook of
the country, Mr. Byrnes said that every
where he had been and in reports he had
seen in various parts of the country the
story was told of development of pros
porous conditions The President he
said, docs not talk much on the subject,
but he is absolutely confident and Is con-
tented with the situation. He is, Of course,
Watching developments with great inter-
est, and is very happy at the prospects.
He has perfect confidence that prosperity
is coming TO stay, and that the republicans
will be successful in Ohio. Iowa and else
where in this falls elections. The fact is
that the President optimistic in the
first. and now he is confirmed in his con-
viction that everything is going well, and
that the country is going to prosper. The
President has been very much taxed by
social obligations and the constant de-
mands upon his time. but he has given no
attention to office-seekers and patronage,
ard as far possible, has been relieved
frcm the strain of official duties.''
