THE RETURN OF PROSPER
ITY.

| Eqery body admits that there is 6
general revival of business all owe,
the country. Every banking house
clearance house and commercial
agency proclaims it and every bus
mess man feels it. The eastern
manufacturer sees prosperity in
the new furnace fires, and hears it
in the hum of the spindle. The
western farmer feels its stimulat-
ing effects in the increased price of
his stock, and in the development
OF new mines. The southern plant
er shares in the general prosperity
through the higher price of cotton,
rice and sugar, and the north re-
joices in dollar wheat and a general
advance in all the products of the
farm. This general prosperity is
not merely local nor transitory---it
applies to all parts of the country,
and the indications are favorable to
permanency.
In view of the universal bright
ening of the times, it is amusing to
pick up an average populist news
paper. While all the country is
rejoicing the pessimistic pop" is
still bowling his doleful song of |
calamity. Ii there is one isolated |
part of the country which has been
struck with shortage of water, the
average "pop" sees universal
irouth In strike of few coal
miners the pop" sees untold suf-
ering and starvation. A few idle
oafers, who refuse to work when
work is offered them, is a spectacle
o the average "pop" of an "army
# unemployed walking the streets
n Search OF employment" If
wheat is worth dollar bushel
he "pop" only knows that corn is
forth only twenty cents. If cattle
re high the "popn knows that hogs
re low. Ii gold is being taken
ut by the millions, the "pop" only
nows that silver is worth but :
fly cents. If it is cold in the
orth the pop" only realizes that
is warm in the south. The aver
&c pop" never sees the sun of day I
he knows only the darkness of II
light. He never feels the vigor of
hysical strength he lives in an
of emaciation and he -
wells forever in mental imbecility.

The newspapers published in this
state are harping less and less upt n
the now worn-out phrase Hard
Times" and spirit of confidence
seems to peryade nearly all ave-
nues OF trade and industry in the
state. Farmers appear to be in
fine fettIe, owing to the increased
prices for grain, and the sheep men
and the cattle men are in good
spirits over the advance in wool,
hides and beef. The lead miners
have also cause for rejoicing in the
increased prices for lead. The rail
roads are carrying more freight,
and doing an increased business.
The only industry in the state that
is now respondent is that of silver.
Silver is now at point the lowest
in its history. Whether it has been
put down by its enemies, or wheth- |
er it is following the natural law |
OF supply and demand, is matter
for the individual to determine for
himself. But outside of this indus
try all others seem to be in a most
healthy condition. A tone on con-
fdence seems most pronounced.
Buildings are being talked of and
are going up in nearly every town
in the state. We are under the
impression that this condition of
things would have been brought
about before, but for the continual
harpings of the pessimists; and
heir voices are not yet silent, for
should Il bank fail or some business
90 under, the whole clique would
'aise their voices to very torrent
If depreciation. The people how
ver, can rejoice because of the i'm
proved outlook, and hope and pray
or its continuance. Malad Enter

FOOD STRENGTH.
1T COMES FROM THE RIGHT roOD
PROPERLY DIGEsTED.

Food strength is natural strength. Il is
new strength created strength. That is,
it is not stimulation.
The real strength Of your body is your
constitutional strength, your reserve strength.
1t is the result of eating proper food and
digesting It,
Eating food does no good at all rather
harm-unless it is digested So that every
thing narrows itself down to one proposition:
How is your digestion2
One person in three of us have indigestion
in some form or another. II is not really a
disease, but a condition, condition which
may become serious.
We all wish to lac strong, and we might all
become so If we digcsted our food The loss
of your strength is a serious matter. It may
be the beginning of dangerous disease. It
may mean that you cannot go ON with your
work
Shaker Digestive Cordial is an aid to
digestion. il is a strength maker. 1t makes
your food nourish you It makes you strong.
1t relieves at once all the symptoms of acute
dyspepsia, tones up the system aud creates
flesh, energy and strength. Taken regularly
it will permanently cure indigestion and
make the weak, thin, irritable, nervous
dyspeptic, strong, fat, hearty and well again.

THE SPANISH CRISIS.
Liberals Still Refuse to Overlook
the Tetuan Incident,
AND THE PREMIER Is OBSTINATE.

Refuses to Yield to the Demand THAT
the Foreign Minister Retire From
the Cabinet, ana the Moicontonts
Decline to Assist Legislation.
Madrid, May 25.-In the senate yes
terday. in reply to a Conservative sem
ator who asked why the Liberals were
absent, Senor Canovas del Castillo, the
premier, said
IN the opinion of the government
the matter which the Liberals plead as
an excuse for their absence from the
senate is an incident of a purely per-
sonal character which has already
been arranged. The government re-
spects the opinion of the Liberal mi
norty, but rejects their theory Of the
incident and their demands for the
resignation of the minister Of foreign
affairs as contrary to the constitution
of parliament
Formerly 1 governed in the alb
scence of a minority but under the
present circumstances the responsible
ity belongs to all parties. 1t is i'm
possible to face the negotiations now
on foot without serious detriment if
we change the foreign minister"
I
the dissident Conservatives, declared
that under the circumstances they felt
compelled to absent themselves until
the Liberals had received satisfaction.
In the chamber of deputies the pre-
mier repeated the statement he made
in the senate, adding that he regretted
the absence of the Liberals, because it
prevented Senor Sagasta from defend
ing himself against certain accusa-
tions arising out of an erroneous inter
probation Of one Of his speeches. Senor
Canovas referred to the bad impress
sion which had been produced i'm this
way at Washington, where, he said, it
seemed to be supposed that the sale of
Cuba was a possible thing. Spain, "
said Senior Cauovas, lis not a nation of
merchants, capable of selling its
honor"
Senior Francisco Silvela, leader of the
dissident Conservatives in the cham
ber who quarreled with Senior Can
ovas in 1891 over the eXpediency of re-
forming the municipal abuses in Mad
rid, accused the Duke Of Tetuan Of a
grave error, which could not be righted
by a few eloquent words. He said the
foreign minister ought to expiate his
offense by resigning. In the course of
his speech he described the action OF
the United States senate in recognizing
the belligerency of the Cuban insur-
gents as a great iniquity, and charac-
| terized the diplomatic conduct of the
| government as altogether blame
worthy, adding an expression of his
doubt as to the intelligence of Senoi
Canovas in retaining the Duke of Te
tuan under the circumstances.

"lNVENTOR" BRIGGS FAILURE.
His System of ''Creating'' Gold and
Silver Proves Mythical.

hls System of ''Creating'' Gold and
Silver Proves Mythical.
Washington, May 25.-During the
last three weeks three expert metal
lurgists connected with the mint
bureau have been conducting a secret
investigation in the laboratory of the
treasury departrS y into the claims
Of man named -. c. Brice that he
had discovered a process for producing
or creating silver and gold from the
base metals, etc, including chemic-
ally pure antimony. Some months ago
Mr.. Brice applied for a patent on his
process, which was denied pending an
actual test. The report Of the experts
follows the tests In every detail and
concludes as follows:
During these experiments, which
have been extended over some three
weeks and have involved an amount of
painstaking labor which we hope has
not been entirely wasted we have seen
not the slightest evidence of any Gre
alton or transmutation. On the con-
trary the claimant failed in every in
stance to recover the entire amount of
silver and gold known to be present in
the materials"

CREEKS SUSPECT TURKS
They Object to Peace Negotiations
With Edhem Pasha.
WILL RELY UPON THE POWERS.

The Cretnn Chiefs Unanimausly in Fa-
vor Of Political Union with Greece,
but Wish to Move Cautiously-King
George May Dismiss Rail-.
Athens, May 25-The government
has sent a reply to the notification
made by Edhem Pasha, commander Of
the Turkish army in Thessaly, that he
is empowered to negotiate the terms Of
peace with Greece direct. Greece in
return has informed the ministers ot
the powers here that, as Greece has al
ready confded her interests to the
powers there is no reason why she
should negotiate directly with Turkey.
The intentions of the sultan are
greatly distrusted here, and it is be-
lieved that he is avoiding negotiations
for peace through the powers because
he wants Edhem Pasha to march to
Athens.
The Cretan chiefs have sent a docu-
ment to the Greek government declar-
ing that they are unanimously in favor
of political union with Greece but ask
ing the advice of the government as
to the best course to pursue consist
emily and with due regard to national
interests.
The stupor that has pervaded Athens
for several days is passing away and a
revolution is possible. The details of
the successive Greek flights and the
charges of the cowardce made by the
foreign papers against the nation have
embittered the popuace against the
military leaders.
Refugees who have arrived at Do
mokos say that they saw Prince Mich
olas with tears trickling down his face
on the morning of Wednesday last as
he viewed the melancholy flight Of the
troops. Yet he always headed the
fight. Couriers had to follow him to
tell him that a truce had been ar
ranged. He had disappeared, however
and the couriers learned that he had
gone to Thermopylae in a boat from
Stylida. Thither they went after him
and he returned.
1t is asserted that King George Is
beginning to reassert himself, and will
soon be able to dimiss M. Ralli and to
appoint M, Katapano as premier.
