which is accepted as a reliable bust
ness barometer, not controlled or in
flucnced by political or other use
which would affect its accuracy, pre-
sents the most satisfactory trade
statement for the first week in June
that has been made since the present
business depression began. That
statement was remarkable in it's
showing OF the decided decrease in
embarrassment in all branches OF
trade and in reports of unusual ac-
tivity in all the industries in antici-
patton OF the passage of the tariff
bill. The failures reported in most
branches of trade are less in number
than ut any time in the last thirty
six months, while the volume of bust
ness transacted is, in quantity, larger
than in 1892, the year OF our greatest
prosperity, the slight reduction in
value being due to the smaller prices
paid for the articles OF commerce
handled. When it is remembered
that this happens before the new
tariff bill gets upon observation-disclosures
and with the industries of the coun
try depressed by the importations o
foreign goods nj the rate OF owe .

provement thus noted is very n
markable.

The heavy rain of last week was
of immense value to this section.
Crops took new start and the ranges
are greatly refreshed. With occa-
sional showers there will be n fair
hay and grain crop, though the
rain was a little late for the former.
While the storm was quite general
there are n few localities that seem
to have been sighted. From Me-
Donald creek and south of the
Snowies come reports of no rain
since April and the outlook some
what d~iscouraging.

The claim made by the Democratic
press that the Southern tariff senti-
ment was represented by carpet
baggers." has been completely dis
proven by the Inter Ocean, which gives
"a short biography OF each represent
ative from the South who has voted
for protection. Ninety-five per cent
or more of them are OF Southern
birth and quite a number have held
various offices in the South under the
Democratic party. The statement,
however, is about as reliable as any
other emanating from the same
ire these days.

Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor OF
the Burton House. Burton. w. Va,
and onc of the most widely known
men in the state was cured of rheum-
atism after three years uf suffering.
He says; II have not sufficient COM
mand of language To convey any
idea of what I%sUffcrCd, my physicians
told me that nothing could be done
for me; and my friends were fully
convinced that nothing but death
would relieve me of my suffering. In
June. 1891, Mr.. Evans, then salesman
for the Wheeling Drug Co, recon-
mendCd Chamhcrlain's Pain Balm.
At this time my foot and limb were
swollen to more TINA double their
normal size and il seemed to me my
leg would burst, but soon after /
began using the Pain Balm, the
swelling began to decrease, the pain
to leave, and now | consider that l
am entirely cured. For sale by G. +.

A curious coincidence comes to the
surface just now in the statement OF
officials of Japan and Peru as to
their cause for abandoning the silver
standard. They state that their ex-
p~erience showed that the silverstand-
ard with its constant fluctuations
was Instantaneous to their foreign
commerce, and that it was this fact
largely which moved them to adopt
the stable standard of other nations
with which they have business rela-
tions. These statements are espec-
tally interesting in view of the fact
that one of the strong arguments
urged in last falls campaign in behalf
of silver was that the silver standard
would improve our commercial rela-
tions with other parts of the world.

Fines and costs collected February to NO

Fines and costs collected FEBRUARY 10 NJ
vember /, 1897, was $l5lS 25.
Mr.. Merrifeld adds that the state has
received during the year about $4OO in
court fees. Balancing the above account,
the cost is $2716 25. Mr.. Merrifeld truly
says: Striking a balance Of above items
and then adding fair proportion OF the
salary of the presiding Judge, the salary OF
the states attorney and other items OF
minor character it will be seen that Wind
ham county as reflected by court expenses
has been quite law abiding and peaceable

This is highly creditable record when
compared with the expenses in some Of the
counties of the state. 1t is claimed that
in Washington county court expenses dur
ing the past year have reached the enor-
nous total of $4,000. Law-abiding citi-
zens and conscientious officials are impor-
tant factors in keeping down public ex-
penses.
