EXPERIENCED statesmen and poll
ticians in Washington donot hesitate
to express the view that a refusal by
the Republican members of the Ohio
Legislature to support for Senator the
man who was unanimously nOmina-
ted for the position by the State CON
vention and 10y most of the county
conventions would destroy the polit-
zeal standing of men so refusing. The
steady growth Of public sentiment in
favor of election of Senators by the
people will not brook refusal of a
member of a legislature to be GOV
erned by the expressed wish of the
people in State and county conven-
tiOns and at the polls, as was the case
at the Ohio election.

RAILROAD earnings in August, Sep
TENDER and October have shown a
large gain in nearly every case over
the corresponding month of last year
The increase in October earnings was
about %5,O0O,OOO over that Of last year
while those of August and September
were even larger, thus justifying the
great army of railroad employees who
last year cast their votes with the
party of sound money and protection,
irrespective of what their former
party relations had been.

The persistency with which Great
Britain maintains her free trade
notions is causing the ruin of some of
her colonial possessions. Her West
India possessions are rich and fertile
tracts, but they are mainly depend
ent upon their sugar crop forsupport
and now that the beet sugar industry
has risen to such proportions in Eu-
rope, they cannot successfully com
pete in the markets to which they
have heretofore shipped the products
of their cane. Germany has paid an
export bounty on her beet sugar so
that it has come into ruinOus cOmpe-
titiOn with the West India cane prod
uct. A moderate duty on beet sugar
by England would give the West In
dies access to that market, and,
although it is clearly understood by
the British that these colonies are
bankrupt and on the verge Of abso-
lutte ruin, no EngIishman will raise
his voice in favor of slight relaxation
of the free trade idea.

above all we thank Thee for every

will average nearly one million Collars
per day for each business day Sof the
month. All of this is accomplished
under the Dingley law, and without
any material revenue from the duty
on sugar, as the importers are now
using up their large stock of that
article which was imported before the
new law went into effect. 1t is esti-
mated that the revenue from the
duty on sugar when the present stock
is exhausted, will average So, 600, 900 a
month, which of itself will be suffi-
cient to bring the revenue up to a
sum equal to the ordinary expendi-
lures of the government. With the
increase which will come from other
articles, such as wool, wooden goods,
and other manufactures, with which
the country has been filled, it is now
perfectly apparent that the revenue
produced under this law will be am

MOTHERHOOD.
Mrs. Pinkham Declares No Woman Need Despair.

There are many curable causes for sterility in women. One of the most common is general debility, accom- panied by a peculiar condition of the blood.
 Write freely and fully to Mrs. Pink ham. Her address is Lynn, Mass. She will tell you, free of charge, the cause of your trouble and what course to take. Believe me, under right condi- tions, you have fair chance to become the joyful mother of children. MRS. LUCY LITTLE, 255 Henderson St., Jersey City, N. J., certainly thinks so. Shesay e "I am more than proud of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and cannot find words to express the good 1t has done me. I was troubled very badly with the 1eucorrhoea and severe womb pains. From the time l was married, in 1882, until last year, was under the doctors care. We had no children. I have had nearly every doctor in Jersey City, and have been to Belvin Hospital, but all to no avail. I saw Mrs. Pinkham's advertisement in the paper, and have used five bot ties of her medicine. It has done more for me than all the doctors ever had It has stopped my pains, and has brought me a fine little girl. l have been we'll ever since my baby was born. I heartily recommend Mrs. Pinkham's medicine to all women suffering from sterility."

Watch Chain n, 9uman RoDss

Cyrus O. Thornton, a farmer living a few miles out of Bolivar. has an odd watch chain. It is made of human bones. The chain consists of eight links. each a trifle more thun all inch long, connected by plated rings. The chain is about ten inches long and has been high ly polished by years of wear and glis- tens like ivory.
 Thornton secured the chain at Peters burg, Va, in 1864. He was a member of Company E. Fiftieth New York en- gineers. A member of the Twenty first New York infantry made two chains while confined in Libby prison and on his release met Thornton and sold him one chain for $50 in greenbacks Thorn ton has forgotten the makers name The bones were taken from amputated arms and legs, and it required Is months time to carve out the chains For many years after he came home from the war Thornton wore the chain every day, but for several years he has worn it only on Memorial day and at Grand Army reunions. Some of his neighbors once laughed at the idea of the bones being taken from human bod ies, and he sent the chain to a surgeon, who examined it and pronounced it to be of human bones. River News

Fast Sneakers In Congress.

Fred Irland, one of the expert stenog- raphers of the house, talks interesting ly regarding the speed with which con- gressmen talk.
 ''It has been said in the newspapers, " remarks MT. Irland, "that Represent ative Lewis of Washington talks at the rate of 300 words a minute. He does not. No man could speak in the house at that speed and be reported. 1 doubt whether he could be understood. I mean, of course, such words as occur in debates. Of course in taking routine testimony, where frequently recurring phrases, such as What is your name?' and Where do you Iive?' are expressed by brief arbitrary signs, stenographer can write as fast as a man can think. It is very different matter when a con- gressman talks. He uses words with many syllables.'
 "What is the fastest record in the house?''
 Representative Johnson of Indiana once talked for 11R hours, when discuss ing a contested election case, at an av- craze rate of 22O words a minute. That is rapid work If a man talks 25O words a minute, he is very swift. I have mo- ticed one thing" added MT. Irland. ''The fast takers slow up after being in the house a little while. The vast. ness of the air space makes it's impress sion upon them, and they find, too, that they get more attention when they do not talk so last Washington Post.

The Rev. H. R. Haweis, author of Music and Morals" tells a good story in his book, Travel and Talk" of an unconscious rebuff he once received in 0 railway carriage:
 An old gentleman who sat opposite had been eying me over his evening pa- per with what l fancied was a look of recognition. Presently he handed me the paper and pointed to an article on @ musical subject. II thought, sir," he said politely. ''you might like to see this article"
 One glance was sufficient recog- nized an almost verbatim chapter of Music and Morals. 7" Disguised at the fraud, I handed the paper back, re- marking that was quite familiar with the contents. 'In fact, rashly added, ''it is 8 chapter out of Music and Nor als. You may know the book?''

It was case of pickpocket, he was cer- tain, and Ee' advertised for it's return, offering the full value of the watch, which was worth more than it's intrin- sic value, $15O, to him, and no ques- tions asked. Net long after man ap- peared at his business office, showed him the advertisement, and asked if he was ready to stand by it, and was as sured that he was. "Where is your money?" asked tie visitcr. Here it is," was the answer. "Where is the watch?" Taking the one handed him, the victim Of the robbery saw with much delight that it was his own. put it in his pocket and handed over the $150. But he could not resist the temptation to ask one question. "Now, when did you take that watch?'' he asked. ''Do you remember,'' said the visitor, "standing on such day on the corner of such street?' "Yes." "You were talking with friends?' "Yes." And some one came along and brushed against you? We'll, that was when I took the watch.

The Piano of the Futura.

No more hammers in pianos. The old fashioned method of pounding music out of wires by the aid of a wonderfully complicated system of levers and keys, which all the world thought to be the ultimate perfection for the production of that sort of tone, has been branded as back number.
 Dr. Richard Eisemann of Berlin, for years a pupil of Professor Won Helm holtz, has patented system which does away with the levers entirely. He calls this new appliance the electrophonic piano, its distinctive principle consist ing in the fact that the vibrations of the chords are not produced by ham mers. but by an electric current and by means of microphones acting as inter rupters of currents. All the delicate and complex mechan- ism of the old piano is done away with. The little electric devices are arranged on the crosspiece extending over the strings. Upon this electric magnets are placed so as to be only hairs breadth from the strings
 Pressing down the key sends the cleo tric current into the corresponding cleo tromagnet. This attracts the metallic string below. but the microphone inter rupts the current and herewith the at traction. The string returns to its for mer place, and this continued attraction and interruption of the current are car; ried on, the number of vibrations being regulated by the pitch of the string.
 The high sounds produced by this method have decided harp tone, and A ! the cello or the organ. In reality, the installation of this new system creates new instrument, so different are the qualities of sound produced by the new method and the old.-New York Jour nal

Colonial Fear of Lawyers.

An honest trade in for mer days" said the writer, twas all that people of common ability and edu- cation were ambitious of, but now no profession is genteel but the lawyer and the merchant. The lawyers are now creeping into every post of importance and thrusting themselves wherever there is vacancy. Our congress. our assembly, are crowded with them, and even in our great commercial conven- tion there are five lawyers to one mer- chant
