SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired-out nervous system to healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach, gent
ly stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and
aids these organs in throwing off impuri-
ties in the blood. Electric Bitters i'm
proves the appetite, aids digestion, and
is pronounced by those who have tried il
as the very best blood purifier and nerve
tonic. Try it. Sold for so. or 81 per

L. G. F0USE, President, PHILADELPHIA.
"If the people generally understood the
plan of the Fidelity Mutual Life. IL would
be difficHit to persuade them to take any
other form of life insurance"
This remark was made to us recently by
man who, Tor more than half score OF years,
has been actively engaged in the business,
but who had not, up to that time. known
just what our system Is. We do not doubt
the entire accuracy of his statement. We may
say, too, that this has always been our view
of the case. From the hour when the FIDEL-
yTY'S banner was first flung to the breeze il
has borne the inscription, 'Prove all things:
hold last that whi b is good" and our invita-
ton to-day, to every man. is: Examine our
system. please, and then decide on its merits

Summing up the hopelessness Of
the situation with regard to inter-
national ,bimetallism,' a silver Re
publican Senator says. that Senator
Wolcott. the President and the
Presidents ad visers knew that the
mission Of the Bimetallic commits
sion win be useless, but adds:
There is, however, some purpose in
the Presidents action. He Will use
the appointment ofsthe commission
10 offset any adverse criticism with
in bis .own party regarding the
financial policy Of the Government.
During the next eighteen months
whenever anything is said about BIZ
metaIlism in this country, the Pres
ident can point to his three COM
missioners, appointed tor the
purpose of changing the present
financial policy of the world"
Having pointed out the situation
first, when Hanna outlined for
Mckinley the policy Of juggle; next,
when Mckinley started out on tin
his inaugural message, and now,
when he has given it effect by the
appointment Of a useless commits
sion-the Republic presents the
verification Of its advance state
ments; at the same time asking
how much more proof silver Repub-
licans want before they viii revolt.
Senator Wolcott knows how hope
less his task is and must have laid
before the President the information
he gathered in Europe The whole
thing takes on the character Of d
shabby trick which, in view of the
profound popular desire for a salts
factory settlement of the monetary
question seems political crime.
Another Mckinley bill and dodge
on the money question are all the
people will get from the administra-
ton. They have asked for bread
and received a stone.-St. Louis

A COUPLE of deaths have occurred
from prize6ghts lately, and these
fights did not take place in Nevada
either Fights are taking place in
nearly every State in the Union
every week, where they are prohib-
tied by law, and they are witnessed
by men of all professions. These
fights are regular slogging matches,
and the nearer one man can come
to killing the other the. better the
people seem to like it. But what
rot it was for the moral East to
jump on little Nevada because she
licensed glove contests in a way
that would shut out all but first
class exhibitions Of this kind. You
will never hear of death from
glove contests in Nevada. Matches
bet ween rough-and- tumble sloggers
will never be pulled off here; and
today our State stands head and
shoulders above any State in the

prizefghts and then shuts her eyes

In former times the punishment
of the bango (bath), one of the
most cleverly crneI inflictions ever
devised by An official Of the torture
chamber, was administered in Italy,
probably in Venice, where the water
of the lagoons played so important
! part in its penal system. = rs
The prisoner was placed in a vat
the sides of which were slightly in
excess Of the average height of a
man. In order to hold in check
the rising tide of q supply Of water
which ran into the, vat in constant
stream the criminal was furnished
with q scoop with which to baihout
the water as fast as it came in.
h The respite from death by i'm
mersion thus obtained was more or
Jess prolonged, according ito the
,p0Wers. Of endurance possessed by
the victim. But imagine thetmoral
torture, the exhausting and even
hideously grotesque efforts, the in
cessant and pittiless toll by night
and day TO stave off the dread mo-
ment, fast approaching, when over
come by sleep and fatigue, he was
unable to struggle any longer
against his fate.
In these latter days we have inn
proved on the bango. We have de-
vised system of industry in which
the producer is permitted to retain
about one-tenth of that which be
creates. The only way in which
the pooducer can exist is by contin-
ped exertion. and we have so adjust
ed the scheme that if he works too
hard an s'over-production" is Gre
ated and he is sentenced to idleness
and pauperism. If he stops work
ing he starves; if he continues to
work he will "over-produce." The
harder he works the faster the
waters of poverty arise to engulf
him. Just at the moment when the
waters are closing over his head
echarity" balls out the barrel. Of
course at times charity is busy and
.forgets, and the man drowns. \. But
there are plenty of men, and the
excitement consists in the chance
of life or death in the intermittent
rise of the merciless waters and the
bailing-out process by charity. Some
people call this the competitive
system. "-Bodse Miner IndeG.
