To-day Editor Ramsey, of the Progress

Populist of the straitest sect, said:
They can't buy the voters. The latter
will be where the Progressive Farmer is.
The few Popuhsts the Republicans can
buy on the hoof are as nothing to the
10000 or 10000 Populists, the plain peo-
pie, they can't buy"

The Americans are a people indulgent
of their public servants Congress is in
session, yet both Of the North Carolina
Senators have headquarters at Raleigh
and will be there until a Senator is elect

Representatives. This is not saying that
these Populist and Republican Congress
men are whit more neglectful OF their
public duties than Democrats have been
in the past in this and other States. We
make no such point. It is the custom of
Congressman of all parties too go home as
often as they choose, to mend their fences,
to practice law, or do anything else they
please. They all do it and the people
never kick. But if people secure men
to do anything else for them except at

that several hundred illegal votes were

MONEY FOR THE SUFFERERS.
Big Sum to BE Distributed Among
OntonngOn People.

Ontonagan, May 21.-The legislature
has at last passed the bill appropriate
ing $4,000 for the fire sufferers of this
place, and the money will be distrib-
uted by commission to be appointed
by the governor. The appropriation
bill specifically provides that none of
the money shall GO toward paying any
Of the bonded indebtedness of the viii
lage, which amounts to $4,000. The
improvements for which the indebted
ness was incurred were completely
wiped out by the destructive fire of last
August. Although the Diamond Match
company has permanently abandoned
the town and is closing out it's inter-
osts here as rapidly as possible, nearly
half of the taxable property is owned
by that concern, and as the local feel

see to it that the Diamond Match prop
erty is appraised at its full value, and

share of the bonded debt

IN CONSTANTlNOPLE.

The beggars and dogs OF CONSTANT
nople are perhaps the most omnipre-
sent componcnts of this curious and
mixed city. The beggars, D loathsome,
deformed, sightless army, line the
streets and send up day and night their
winnings for help.
The foreigner has invaded Turkey TO
some extent and above many of the
shops of Constantinople are Italian,
French, English and Greek names. The
Turks themselves are very different
traders and cling to their old-time
methods of sitting cross-leg on a tiny
square of mating in front OF their mere
holes or shops.
The magnificently built porters who
bear off a travellers baggage to the ho-
tel in Constantinople, the instant the
customs officers have been appeased,
are said to be able to carry four times
the load that man can lift 10 his shout
ders, thus demanding that some one
or more than one-must assist them to
assume their burdens.
The dogs are, to the foreigner, the
worst pest in Turkey. The streets of
Constantinople are given up to the
NANCY, MANNED, famished droves which
insist upon occupying the best parts of
the pavement and snarl at the feet Of
the passers-by. There is rule that
no one shall kill these miserable crea-
lures, but on the other hand. no one
ever pets or cares for them.

Battle Greek, May 22.-Archibald II.
Henry, of this city, is suing to recover
from the General Conference associa-
ton of the Seventh Day Adventists
damages of $4,000 for disseminating
articles detrimental To his character
and lowering him i'm the estimation of
the people of that denomination. Mr..
Henry has been prominent in almost
every board of the many institutions of
the Adventist denomination, treasurer
of the college and treasurer of the pub
fishing company. He was relieved from
the latter position about four months
ago, and he attributes his loss of pres
tige in the denomination to the dis
semination of several articles, visions
or so-called inspired writings by Mrs.
Ellen G. White, charging him with
worldliness and with being possessed
by satanic impulses and influences. Mr..
Henry attributes in part Mrs. Whites
attacks on him to his being instru-
mental in having the amount of royal
ties on her publications cut down. Mrs.
White is now in Australia, where she
has been for several years, and despite
her advanced years is one of the most
active and influential members of the
denomination.

AN IMPORTANT RULING.
Action of the Pope which Affects
Forcign-Born Catholics.

FOrcign-DOrn Catholics.
Chicago, May 24.-Information has
fbeen obtained that Rome has just trans
mitted TO the Catholic church in the
United States the most significant rul-
ing of recent years bearing on ecclesias-
teal matters in America. The decision,
which has reference TO parishes made
up of foreigners. is literally as fol-
lows:
l. Children born in America OF foreign
parents whose native language is not the
English, are not Obliged when Of age to
become members Of the parish TO which
their parents belong; but they have the
right to join a parish in which the lam
guage of the country-that is, Englsh-is
used
2. Catholics not born in America. but
knowing the English language. have the
right OF becoming members OF the parish
In which English is in use and they can
not be compelled TO submit themselves to
the Jurisdiction OF the rector Of a church
built for people who continue to speak the
Language OF "A foreign country"
The evident purpose of Rome is to
make English the language of the
American church as speedily as pos
-sible, and thus TO encourage the de-
velopment of spirit of more perfect
union among the members of the Cath
Ollie faith. Parishes in which a for
eign language is used are tolerated as
temporary institutions which will dis
appear as soon as the conditions maxi
ing their erection eXpcdient will have
passed away. The present ruling is
perfectly consistent with the enlight-
ened general policy adopted and fol-
lowed by Leo NH.

DisnOnorcd Drafts.

When the stomach dishonors the drafts
made upon it by the rest of the system, it
is necessarily because it's fund of strength is
very low. Toned with Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, it soon begins TO pay out vigor
in the shape of pure, rich blood, containing
the elements of muscle, bone and brain. As
a sequence of the new vigor afforded the
stomach, the bowels perform their functions
regularly, and the liver works like clock
work. Malaria has no effect upon a system
thus reinforced.
