Dentistry Without Pain.

I have at last solved the problem of
preparing teeth for filling with no
pain. This is done by the recently
discovered electric instrument which
is simple, scientific and painless, and
is applied to the tooth with no dis
comfort to patient, but allows me to
cut out the cavity, or remove the
nerve, without least pain. As you
know, I also extract teeth without
pain.
My Bossier friends and patients
will find me at the same stand.

Winsboro IS. c. News and Herald:
It is all very well to cut salaries when
they are too high, but cheap work is
generally poor work. It is not how
cheap we can get public officers to
serve us that should be our principal
aim, but how efficiently. Some men
might consent to take an Office now
paying $4,000 for $40 per month, but
the State would be worse off for
their services.

no administration can create prosper

be favorable or unfavorable, but they
create no wealth. They cannot make
men prudent in investment, indus

The first vote on the tariff bill was
taken in the Senate Wednesday after
a two hours debate on the item, bora
cic acid which afforded an opportuni-
ty for the first alignment of the vari-
Gus elements. Mr.. Vest of Missouri,
a democratic member of the finance
committee, moved to make the rate
on boracic acid three cents instead of
five cents per pound as provided by
the committee. This presented di-
rect issue between the committee and
the opponents of the bill. The amend
ment was defeated, yeas 20, nays "a.
The vote was largely on party lines.
The affirmative was made up of 10
democrats and one populist, Heitfeld.
The negative was made up of % re-
publicans, democrats, McEnery of
Louisiana, and White of California,
two silver republicans, Cannon of
Utah, and Jones of Nevada, and one
populist, Stewart of Nevada.

of little hard sense in the matter of
arresting vandalism, DISCRIMINATING
the enemies of rural beauty and en-
tightening the people who despoil the
landscape is of greater practical value
than the development of Arbor Day
gush and sentiment on one day in the
three hundred sixty-five. The aver
age man has no use for tree except
to hew it down, either from malice or
for gain. Respecting trees and shrub
berry, and other things that beautify
the landscape, the average man is
very much of barbarian. While the
State is spending money to inculcate
the preservation and development of
it's attractions, this barbarian is doing
what he can to defeat this purpose.
He needs, for his subsection to the
policy of the State, some more ag-
gressive missile than Arbor Day
grass. Some brickbats in the shape
of legal definition as to what he can
or cannot do, especially along the
Kings highway, might promote con-
cert of action between the State and
it's citizens in this particular. At
present they are working somewhat
at cross Watchnsam.

THE Id INCH OF THE TARIFF
BILL.

All things considered. the Senate
debate on the tariff opens under
brighter auspices than might have
been expected. Senator Aldrich's
speech, though it limps in some places
and lodges in others-contains at
least that pledge which wonld great
ly tighten the Senator's explanatory
labors in behalf of the measure for
which he is sponsor.
There is, moreover,a word of prom
Use to the ear, which, we trust, will
not be broken to the hope of some
thing of a return to old Repub-
lican methods of discipline and dis
patch in the handling of Senate
measures. Senator Aldrich's resolu
ton to hold the Senate closely to the
consideration of the tariff will be
misery to the vaudeville interluders
of foreign resolutions activity, but
delight to the rest of the country. So
the Republican determination to set
tie all disagreements in caucus and
committee will avoid sensations"
and induce celebrity.
There are no such signs of zeal in
the public service on the Democratic
side of the House. Senator Vests
apparition, with lot of shop-worn
party catch words, makes it appar-
ent that he does not at all despair of
final success in his self-imposed task
of DISCRIMINATING the protected in
dustries'' of the country, and that he
intends to take his own time about
the operation. If he persists in this
course, and if he has imitators, the
Republicans of the chamber will win
popular approval by calling up the
Hoar bill for closure and settling this
flibustering business one way or the
other at once. The minority has ask
ed and has received three long weeks
to prepare arguments, noU't to contrive
delays.
If the Republican programme is ad
hered to the new tariff will be usher
ed into the first weeks of the new
fiscal year. To compel adherence to
that programme by the whole Senate
should be the goal of all Republican
effort. For on Republican shoulders
will be laid, justly or unjustly, all re-
sponsibility for delay.-N. Y. Press.
