Branch of their road on Water

Catarrh Cannot be Cured.

With LOCAL APPLICATIONS,
as they cannot reach the seat of the
disease. Catarrh is blood or con-
stitutional disease, and in order to
cure it you must take internal RENE
dies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medi-
cine. 1t vas prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country
for years, and is regular prescrip-
tion. 1t is composed of the best
tonios known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The per-
feet combination of the two ingred-
tents is what produces such won
derful results in curing Catarrh.

Will some one please tell US what
clause of the new tariff is RESPONSE
BILE for the raise in the price OF
wheat?
Our Republican friends are a
most logical set of fellows. When
the price of wheat is low, it is
caused from an over-production.
When the price is high, it is caused
by Republican, tariff.
1t is real amusing to see the av-
erage church voter trying to SHIFT
the responsibility of the liquor
traffic onto the shoulders of the sa-
loon.keepers, when any sane man
knows the saloon.keeper gets his
authority to sell the liquid damna-
ton from the church voter.
Some of the newspapers are de-
claring that prosperity is here in
full blast. What little prosperity
we have seen, however, has not had
the Mckinley stamp upon it We
do not believe that the present ad.
ministration has had anything to do
with the short wheat crop in Eu
rope.
Reformers make the greatest mis-
take they could possibly make when
they fail to do all in their power to
get subscribers to reform papers
We cannot hope to win victory
for the common people until our
principles are read and understood
by nearly all the people in the
country.
The only Legislation passed by
which even the Republicans could
claim a prosperity boom was the
tariff bill. And the people who be-
lieve that tariff law like the Ding
ley bill could bring prosperity are
very short sighted, indeed, for it
was under a similar tariff law, the
Mckinley bill, that the great panic
in '93 was inaugurated

In the World of Art and Letters

AS the result of the development
Of eur public school system and
the cheapeniug of books, there has
grown up large class of men and
women who seek broader education
or desire to extend their knowledge
along special lines. Their duties
in life, or lack of means, exclude
them from the universities. The
Cosmopolitan Magazine has under
taken the task of bringing liberal
education, in its broadcast sense,
within the reach of those who have
aspirations, but are deprived of the
opportunity. Doctor Andrews, late
Of Brown University, has under
taken the presidency of the Cosmo.
politan's educational movement.
The work, thus begun, is not in
tended to take The place of regular
university work, but to supply a
gap in existing educational facili.
ties Those who are really in search
of knowledge will find directions
and aid. 1t can be nothing for
those who have not the desire to
study. An intending student sends
to the Cosmopolitan, New York, his
name, occupation. previous course
of study, studies desired to be pur
sued, objects and purpose for which
course is designed, and the number
of hours, daily or weekly, study
which can be given. No charges
