HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
sediment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out Of order.

There is more Catarrn in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by f. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

any case it fails to cure. Send for Cir

The crop experts say that the 1897
wheat crop viii sell at somewhere be-
tween 65 and 10 cents bushel. The
situation in brief is that the French
and English crops of wheat will amount
to comparatively little, while Austria
La, India and Argentina will not have
wheat for export. American wheat
therefore will come in competition only
with wheat from Russia and the Dan
ubian Provinces. The reserves Of
wheat all over the world have been re-
dueed to the minimum. There is much
corn and many cattle in America and
both will be in demand because Of the
unusual demand for wheat.

An Instructive Incident,


interesting paper by General John NJ.
Schofield embOdying q lesson which
may well be studied by those entrusted
now or hereafter, with the conduct
of our foreign affairs. It concerns the
withdrawal by Louis Napoleon of the
French troops from Mexico, prior to
the ignominious downfall of the unfor-
tunate Maximilian's brief career as en-
peror of that country; and gives for
the first time the history Of a confiden-
tial foreign mission with which Gener-
al Schotield was entrusted Immediate
ly following the termination of our civil
war.
1t will be remembered that In the
summer of 1865 the French were still
in Mexico, despite the pointed protests
of the American governmAnt; and there
was a disposition in many quarters to
throw a portion of the yet undisband-
ed Union army across the Rio Grande,
to undertake the forcible expulsion of
the foreign invader. Indeed, in July
of that year. General Grant, with the
presidents sanction, conferred written
discretion upon General Schofeld and
addressed to General Sheridan, then in
command of the military division Of
the gulf. a broad letter directing him
to cooperate with the former in a
plan 10 permit our disbanded soldiers
to take the necessary equipments ana
supplies and volunteer under Schofield
to go to the assistance of Juarez. The
idea was that such voluntary action
would relieve the government at Wash
ington from the responsibility of an
open war against Napoleon, yet effec-
tually accomplish the desired result Of
MaXimilian's overthrow.
But the more General Schofield con-
sldercd this project, the less favorably
was he impressed by it. Secretary
Seward also opposed it, and soon after
ward requested schoneld to go to
France on a confidential diplomatic
mission, the aim of which was to con-
vince Louis Napoleon by peaceful rep
reservations of the fact that the people
of the United States would never per-
NIT the empire in Mexico to be estab-
lished at the point of French bayonets.
This proposition from Mr.. Seward
seemed" writes General Schofield, "to
put upon me the responsibility of de-
Gliding the momentous question of fu-
ture friendship or enmity between our
own country and our ancient ally and
friend. l had, on the one hand, full
authority from the War department
and the general-in chief OF the army,

of the president of the United States,
to organize and equip an army for the
purpose of driving the French out of
Mexico, and on the other hand a re-
quest from the State department TO go
to France and try by peaceful means
to accomplish the same end"

and bravest officers of the army and

The Edison General Electric company

A great increase in manufacturing ex-
ports is noted. For March they increased

and still the retail price remains un-
changed
1t is a noteworthy fact that most of the
market letters from Wall street condition
further general improvement in business
upon the early passage of the Dingley
bill.
The directors of the Western Union
Telegraph company say that out of
$780, 900, 900 of their stock which has been
issued less than s5,0O0,0O0 is in the hands
of Wall street brokers.
One of the most interesting and com
prehensive daily exchange reports issued
in New York comes from Macy & Pen
dleton, bankers and brokers, 45 Broad
way. 1t is sent free to those who care
for 1t.
The receipts of foreign wool at the port
of Boston last week passed all previous
records, 600,640 bales, worth perhaps
$3.50 900. This Is one-half the total year
ly domestic production, and one-fifth as
much as has been imported in any one
year of the past decade.
The balance of trade in 1896, that Is, the
excess of exports, for which foreigners
must pay us, over imports, for which we
must pay foreigners, was 1926, 1922. 900. But
a change has come and the excess of i'm
ports over exports at New York from
Jan. ! last up to April 26 was SAL, 10000.
The total imports for this period at New
York were $262, ,s42, 900. an increase of sl04,-
43l,OO0 over the imports in the same
period of 1896. The increase is in large
part due to the pending tariff bill.
A good many millions of gold could be
shipped from the United States now
without making the slightest difference
to the country. The expectation Is that
$50 100000 will go out during the present
shipping movement. The sum would not
be missed. The United States treasury
has more than $54, 100000 in gold above
the 500, 900 gold balance traditionally
held in reserve. The associated banks
of New York hold, as shown in the last
bank statement, SS7 900 of specie, of
which almost all is gold. There is S5l OOO-
600 of it in gold in the Clearing House
vaults.

"CHRISTIAN'' FOR CASH ONLY

From the St. Paul Pioneer-Press.
The attitude of the so-called Christian
governments of Europe towards Greece,
from the beginning of the troubles which
have at last caused the flames of war
to burst forth along the Thessalian bor-
ders, has been such as to make many an
observer exclaim, "If this be Christian
ity, give me healthy Paganism! For
the world cannot get over the feeling that
a nation which stands, as does the brave
little Hellenic kingdom, for all that is
distinctive in Christian civilization, as
opposed to Moslern superstition, violence,
rapne, lust and murder, is entitled to the
sympathy and support of every nation
which calls itself by the name of Him
who came indeed to bring 'peacc on
EARTH" but only to 'men of good will"
And when such nations are seen, first
siding with the Turks and bombardlng
the Christian camps in Crete, and then
(after they have encouraged the mass
ing of Turkish armies against Greece
and aided in the organization of those
armies by sending European experts to
assisD, standing aloof in the hope of see
ing Greece crushed beneath the Turk
ish power-then, indeed, is a spectacle Of
fered before which the ancient ceremon-
les of tramping on the cross and splitting
on the gospels seem trivial as evidences
of QDOStaCy.

MIR. Calhoun's Mission.

Ono phase Of the Cuban situation
projects beyond other phases in immi-
nent seriousness, and is believed to be
the feature to which Special Commits
sioner Calhoun viii give the closest
attention. Shortly after the Spanish
forces completed the construction of
their two trochas across the island.
General Weyler issued an order di-
recting all pacificos or non- -combatants
TO concentrate within the fortified
points. This order bls gradually been
obeyed-as the penalty for disobedi-
enee is death--until today 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 men, women and
children. mostly of the ignorant class,
are living in compulsory idleness In the
forts and fortified towns.
The subtraction of these people from
agriculture and the massing of them
In crowded blocks away from their ac-
customed means OF gaining a liveli-
hodi have brought on a social condition
OF the utmost gravity. At first the
Spaniards maintained the semblance
Of an apportionment OF rations among
these paeificos, but as the exchequer
beceme depleted this apportionment
grew less and less satisfactory until
now, In many parts of the island, the
non -combatants are face to face with
absolute starvation. AS a result of in

The Manly View.

There are few frills on Secretary AL
ger. This fact has lately been indi-
Gated in many ways, but in none to
greater advantage than in his order
substituting in the war department
among the clerical force the honor sys-
tenn for the former regulations which
required chiefs of division to keep tab
on the attendance and work Of their
clerks. The latter plan, we are told
"savored too much of the primary
school to suit the taste of the secre-
tary. He believes that black marks
should not be given grown men and
women because they happen to be a
minute or two tardy, and will trust to
their honor to report any delinquency
on their part. OF course Sinking Of
duty will not be tolerated and frequent
tardiness will call for complaint from
division chiefs. But the measure Of
each clerks efficiency will not be de-
termined by black marks, or white
marks, or any other kind of cut-and-
dried merit system"
The government pays a sufficiently
liberal price for clerical labor to in
sure the services of ladies and gentle
men. These should be secured and the
direputables Of both sexes fired out.
Such a system would be the truest
kind of civil service reform. 1t might
not rest on written examinations and
it might upon occasions result in un-
just dismissals through the spite work
Of superiors. But upon the whole, un-
der the eye of a vigilant chieftain such
as General Alger has always proved to
be, it would unquestionably work for
the betterment OF the service. Any
how, it merits q trial.

STINGY SANITATION.


From the Philadelphia Telegraph,
Our legislature appropriates but $4,000
per annum to state sanitation, as COM
pared with $4,000 devoted to this OBJ
ject by New Jersey, $4,000 by New York,
and $50, 900 by Massachusetts. If our pop
ulation now reaches 100000. this appro-
pration amour Is to one-tenth of a cent
per capita. 1t Is at all events sum not
to be considered in making provision for
the preservation OF the public health. In
case of an epidemic it would be found
that 5000 would be simply so much
money thrown away.

HE WORRIED ABOUT 1T.

When the weather was murky he gazed
at the sky,
And he worried about It;
He watched the gray cloudlets so scurry-
ing by,
And he worried about It:
"I'll bet it will rain," he would say to q
friend,
All manner of dire disaster portend;
His life was one fret from beginning to
end,
For he worried about IT.
lie had a few troubles, al human kind
WILL
And ne worried about It:
The good he belitt.ed and magnifed i'll,
And he worried about it;
His health was nigh perfect, but then, If
you please,
He fancied he had mostly every disease,
And martialed his ailments in columns OF
threes,
And he worried about it.
No doubt when he entered the world long
ago,
He worried about II;
As matter OF fact, when he married, you
know
He worried about It;
And when he departs from this scene of
despair,
And mounts on light wings thro ethereal
ain,
When ushered right TIP to a heavenly
chair,
He'll worry about It.
