US that when anyone goes --------~
insane, frequently their whole nature is re-
versed. They do and say exactly the op-
posite things to what they would do in
their sane minds. A mother whose mind
breaks down under extreme nervous ten
sion may turn upon the one object in all
the world most precious to her--her baby.
The terrible nervous tension under which
many women live and suffer because of
some weakness or disease of their sex,
keeps them on the very verge of insanity.
The constant drag and drain upon the conf
plicated and delicate organism affects the
whole nervous system and works upon the
brain with an almost irresistible madness.
Thousands of suffering women bave been
literally saved from the insane asylum by
the timely influence of DR. Pierce's Favorite

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachlan Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have arumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever;
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

Mr. Tibhv went on to tell about how he
met Brady or Stetson first, and sketched
what was said and done at this first meet
ing. This testimony of Waite's differed
materially from the testimony given by
Brady about this first meeting. Brady
had asked him where he could 90 to take
photographs, and said he wanted to
establish here cigar and tobacco stand.
On the meeting on Congress street
when Brady testified he told Waite about
the smuggling scheme a few DAYS after
this first meeting Waite said that he had
not been toid that 1t was smuggling
scheme, ouS understood from Stetson that
1t was legitimate business, which he
had been engaged in and which he
Wanted waite to 60 into. Witness denied
that ne mad told Stetson that he was
zone 5Hlng on the honest plan, or that he
woulo 40 anything for hundred dollars,
OF tnao ne would rob rich man at any
I'm lime. De did not say that his motto was
go Others before they do you,'' but he
alu tell Stetson that this was q modern
interpretation of the golden rule. They
walked down to Lincoln park together
put witness did not say anything about
MS Delng X. of P, or being able to
work the members Of that order If he
should go into the smuggling scheme. He
ala say that the K. of p. q were one of
The best orders in the world. Stetson had
told him at this time that he himself was
Mason. He did not ask Stetson to put
OIL the trip to Bangor from Wednesday to
Thursday. Stetson had asked him to go
down to see member of the company
and he thought that by going he might
get position in this company which
Stetson had told him about. He did not
say anything about the company being
Legitimate business, he had simply re-
ferred to it as q position. The only
question about his being able to secure
this position was one of honesty.
Telling about the Bangor trip Waite
said that he had not introduced Stetson
to any girls. Nor did he go into a
photograph gallery there with any young
ladies. He couldn't remember what the
nature of the conversation was in Stet-
sons room that night at the Bangor
house. They talked about nothing of i'm
portance. He did not say anything about
fires and did not ask Stetson if he would
set fire to a building with people in it.
Nor did he talk with him about using
kerosene or candles or say that either OF
these were good to use. The man whom
he was introduced to in Bangor was
named Marshall, SO he was told, and with
him he only talked about the company.
The next time he met Stetson was in
Lincoln park on Sunday, where they had
few minutes conversation. The next
day they went to Riverton together.
At this point the court adjourned until
this morning at ten O'Clock.

Portland Golf Club.

The first tournament of the Portland
Golf club took place yesterday after
noon. The day was perfect for golf, and
the game with evident interest. Many
complimentary remarks were made about
the excellence Of the new grounds. With
the addition Of certain improvements
in the shape of new teeing grounds
and bunkers, now being built, Portland
will have one of the best links in New
England. The course being new to the
players it was not expected that any very
remarkable sscores would be; made. Lack
of experience made the number of entries
smaller than was expected. A great deal
of interest has been aroused by the tour
nament, SO it is likely that there will be
large eptry in the next one which will
be held in a week or so. The competition
yesterday as arranged by the committee
was IS holes for the men and for the
ladies. The record for the course was
lowered on Wednesday from 81 to 50 for 9
holes. The score yesterday was as fol-
lows:

The Ladies' Home Journal has secur-
ed what promises to be the great maya
zine feature of 1898. 1t is entitled "The
inner Experiences OF Cabinet Members
Wife," In series of letters written by
the wife OF cabinet member to her Sis
ter at home, are detailed her actual expe-
riences in Washington, frankly and freely
given. The letters were written without
any intention OF publication. They give
intimate peeps behind the curtain OF high
official and social life. They are abso.
lutely fearless, they study Washington
life under the searchlight as it has never
before been presented. The president
and the highest officials OF the land, with
the most brilliant men and women of the
capital, are seen in the most familiar
way. The letters will doubtless excite
much shrewd guessing by readers and
study OF internal evidence to discover the
secret. The Experiences" which will
be beautifully illustrated, begin in the
December number and will continue for
several months.

And the value. in dollars, of all wealth

echoed the editorial. In last weeks
Willapa Hlrbor Pilot J. w. Scaborg
roasts the Oregonan's editor most un-
mercifully for its wiIful lying, and prints
letter from Mayor Tuggart in which
the latter emphatcally denies that he is
a gold bug or that he ever affiliated with
them, and states positively hat he did
everything in his power TO assist in the
election of the nominee OF the Chicago
conventions that he vote for Mr.. BRYAN

Congressman Dingley, in speech be
fore the Boston Home Market Club, re.
marked that ''the repeated coincidence
between the protective policy and pros
perity and between the overthrow OF that
policy and adversely establishes the rela-
ton OF cause and effect" For once the
Maine statesman unwittingly acknowl-
edges the relatian between protection
and prosperity-merely coincidence.
The depression existing during the con-
tnuance OF the Wilson tariff bill was
merely coincident caused by the worst
financial paric the country has ever seen.
The degree OF prosperity caused by the
the demand for foreign wheat is coinci-
dent with the Dingley tariff. Honest
men acknowledge that neither the de-
preston nor the prosperity had any
relation whatever with the tariff, were
merely coincdent thcrato; but the peo-
pie hardly expected the Maine states
man to say SO.

fOaslsn III Politics Is indeed very bad.
The rule of the machine is to be regret
ted. But if the machine and the boss
could be wiped ont, there would still re-
main a most serious danger to popular
government. The most purifying inhu
encc that could possibly be cxerted would
be cxempiticd by the rule of the Ten
Commandments in public life as well as
in private. The people do not visit upon
corrupiionsts the odum they merit A

charities or do some other act of partial
restitution, and the public fall down be.
fore him and worship him as IL great
benciator OF humanity and an ornament
oi his kind. so long as this remains true
there will be corruption, with or without
bosses and machines.
That which aroused the public con-
science during the New York canvass
was Henry Georges bold enuncation of
the commands "Thou shalt not steal ~
And it awakened the public from the
novelty OF the assertion in politcs-thcv
had often heard OF it beiole--but because
for the first time man plainly and open
j. pointed out those whom he believed to
have grown rich by robbing the public
treasury or accepting brides to betray
the public interests, shouted their names
aloud and promised to put them in the
pani!cntiary. Previously this sort OF con-
domination had been avoided. Whenever
d rascally candidate was shown up it
seemed TO make sympathy and votes for
him. VIGOROUSLY dishonest men escaped
punishment and even gained what they
called vindication and reward. Dayton,
though hating Croker, had been careful
to explain that he had nothing to say
against the boss character. Low dealt in
gencraitics. Not a journal or speaker
in New York spoke out with ringing and
uncertain tones till Henry George took
Platt and Croker by the throat and told
the people, 81 believe these men are
thieves. Elect me, and will put them
in jail"
This is the spirit that must prevail
among the people before the great corrnp-
tionists and the bride takers can be sup
pressed. Men must be prepared TO 90
anywhere--into legislatures, into govern
ors' offices, congress, the courts, even
the white house-put their hands on the
guilty and demand that they be brought
to Justice. Churches must become pure
enough to be able to refuse to be rccei "
els Of stolen money. Society must cease
being complaisant to rich scoundrels.
individuals must refuse to recognize on
terms OF equality those they know to be
bride givers. bride takers, thieves from
the treasury or robbers of the people. So
long as corruption can be CLOSED over
and made respectable and even admira-
bic by little hypocrisy, good deal OF
noisy abuse or other forms Of outlawrv
and few gifts to benefcent objects, so
long will it prevail.
This is the great truth that must be
recognized and acted upon before real
reform can come. When men refuse to
take the hand of known colruptionst,
when 4 legislator is known to have sold
