The New Tariff Law.

The new Dingley tariff bill was
passed by the Senate Saturday after
noon. President Mckinley signed
it and Immediately afterward Con-
gress having passed the act for which
is was called in extra session, adjourn
ed till the first Monday in December.
1t passed the Senate finally,
through the adoption of the confer
ence report, as soon as the roll could
be called after 3 o'clock, by vote of
40 to 80, McEnery being the only
Democrat who voted for it, and Jones
and Stewart being the only Populists
who voted for il, although all the
other Populists, except Heitfeld, who
was paired against it, refrained from
voting, and so did Senator Teller.
The most interesting thing about
the vote, except the majority itself,
was the fact that Senator Hanna,
who had at first voted proudly for the
bill he did so much to make, had to
withdraw his vote when he was re-
minded of his general pair with Raw
Inns, of Utah, who was absent.
On the whole the bill is one of the
most drastic measures ever put upon
statute books. An aid to trusts and
monopolies, and a death blow to all
classes of working men.

Helps in the Use Of Good English

is a very helpful little volume of 400
pages, we'll printed and tastefully
bound, just published by Raub &
Co., of Philadelphia.
1t is a book intended for the use Of
editors, lawyers, clergymen, teachers
and all others who have occasion to
write or speak the English language
and who desire to do so in accordance
with approved modern usage.
1t treats in an interesting and in
structive manner of Capital Letters,
Syllabication, Orthography, Syntax,
Punctuation, Letter Writing and the
Right Use of Words. Special atten-
ton is given to debatable points In
all these departments.
The chapter on the Right Use of
Words is valuable because Of the dis
cussion of popular synonyms, spurious
words, and words liable to be disused.
The chapter on Syntax is specially
valuable because of the definite direc-
tons given for correct usage with the
reasons therefor, and the large collec-
ton of faulty sentences taken from
prominent authors of current litera-
ture, to illustrate how even the best
writer's violate the standard rules for
the correct usage of English.
The author of the book is Albert
N. Raub, LII. D., teacher of many
years experience, and author of Raub's
Grammars, Rhetoric, and Studies in
English and American Literature.
The book is published at $1.oo,
but is sold to clubs of SIX or more at
sixty cents a copy. Address,

Quay's Dotage.

Senator Quay shows unmistakable
signs of enervatlon. AS evidence Of
this, is his announced determination
one day to retire from public life, and
the next day to continue in his pur-
suit Of Office hunting. These sudden
changes of mind need occasion no
surprise. Conscious, as he must be
at times, of his failure to fulfill his
pledges Of reform. 1t is no wonder
he is filled with misgivings of his
ability to further fool the people. Is
it not most natural that he should
long for retreat to private life rather
than to trust to the mercy OF an out
ragged and wickedly abused people
1t requires the presence and batteries
of old friends and office-seekers to
stimulate his courage sufficiently to
enable him to declare his purpose to
ask reelection to the U. S. Senate.
Left alone to himself his judgment is
not so faulty as time will prove. This
his closest friends will realize when
his Waterloo, to which he is first ap-
preaching, is reached.
Charity and credulity have covered
multitude of his political short-com-
ings, but it is not to be expected that
they will always do so; and the sold
man" doubtless realizes this, and in
the distance sees the wood of Bir-
nam before him. ."-Hunhngdon Jour-

Wheat is the Sensation.
A Strong Advance Since the Month Opened.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review
says: The end of uncertainty regard
ing duties on imports gives greater
confidence alike to those who have
opposed and those who have favored
the change. The great strength in
stocks, particularly in the Granger
i. reflects assurance OF heavy crops
with remarkable rise in wheat, not
withstanding that assurance is based
on heavy buying for export and belief
that foreign demand will be large.
The wheat market is the sensation
Of the month. Since July the price
had risen twelve cents by Wednesday,
when a reaction of four cents was not
surprising, but the close was s cents
higher for the week. 1t is notable
that this rise came in the face of high
ly encouraging crop n VS. which is not
disputed and has for support nothing
but foreign conditions and demand.
Both because of the season and be-
cause OF pending action on the tariff,
industrial operations are waiting and
yet with an improvement which, under
such circumstances, is significant.
The half yearly production of pig
iron exceeded that of the last of 500
by 756,5S5 tons, but outside the
great steel companies there is little
activity at this time, though they are
increasing their output
Minor metals are IN better demand,
tin at 1895 and lead at 3.15 aud
copper is sustained at IIs cents for
lake exports, though the June pro-
duction was 1868 tons and that of
the half year IoS,6sI tons.
There is a general advance in boots
and shoes, averaging about II per
cent, with larger demand as dealers
lose hope of lowe prices, but leather
is unchanged, and hides at Chicago
average two per cent lower.
The textile industries have lost no
ground, as the curtailment of produc-
ton in cotton for time is really a
gain. The demand has somewhat in
creased, but the accumulated stock of
goods must be reduced before i'm
patience to buy can be expected. The
demand for woolens increases as to
low and medium grades.
Failures for the week have been
227 in the United States against aSr
last year.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
festeG in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often. by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex.
traordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Ro the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention The COLUMBIAN
and send your address to DR.. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
