COLD IN THE.HEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling Of the
Olfactory organ which contains tho
Nerves of Smell. This organ is a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 3. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, SO the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing a
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsIls have
become q corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves thewhole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. It will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.

erations to guaranteeing the circulation
OF the notes issued by it to them. and
for it to assume the responsibility Of
maintaining gold payments. What they
wish to secure is the profitable privi
lege of controlling the emission OF all
the money required by the people with
out being hampered with the obligation
of redeeming in gold the currency cir
culated by them if they find it incon-
venient to do so.
There is world Of truth in the last
two sentences of the above. If banks
of issue are only to be required to re
deem their notes in government cur
rency it is nothing but the substituting
Of one promise for another. There
is no reason in the world why
bank that is permitted to
issue notes that are to circulate as
money should not be required to re-
deem them in gold if that is to be the
money of redemption. To compel the
government to furnish the gold is to
compel the government to pull the
chestnuts out of the fire for the banks.
In the matter of this particular recon-
incubation the president is right and
Chairman Walker is wrong.

REDEMPTION OF NATIONAL
BANK NOTES.

Currency reform will be the great
bone of contention in congress this
winter, no matter what the result of
the contention may be. Chairman
Walker of the house finance committee
has made it plain that there is far more
subterfuge than anything else in the
plea of many currency reformers that
the government should go out Of the
banking business. The Herald showed
this to be the case only the other day
in its comments on what the Massa-
chusetts representative had to say in
his comments upon the presidents mes
sage. The San Francisco Chronicle
takes substantially the same view on
this subject that we took 1t SAYS:
Mr. Walker is also outspoken in his
opposition to another suggestion which
appears in the message Of the presi-
dent. He says: THE recommendation
that banks be required to redeem their
notes in gold, with no other provision
Of law, would cause every bank in the
country to surrender it's circulation.
and then" he asks, what agency
would keep the country on a gold
basis?" The chairman of the house
committee here rudely touches the
sore spot in our financial system, and
ii viii make the advocates of elastic
banking" vince if they try to answer
his query. The attempt TO do so Will
disclose the fact that the national
banks are not seeking, for the present
at least, to drive the United States out
of the banking business but that their
aim is to contine the governments OPP

GAGE ON FILIBUSTERING Elk
petitions.

Secretary Gage has submitted to the
state department a report on what his
department has done in the way of
preventing the departure of filibuster-
ing expeditions to Cuba. The facts he
states in regard to the number of sue
cessful expeditions will be a surprise
to the public. He says that during two
years and a half only six American
vessels with an aggregate of 1881 reg
landed expeditions from the United
States in Cuba. The secretary displays
some warmth when he says that IF
the Spanish patrol of 1900 miles of
Cuban coast has frustrated one-half
the number of expeditions which were
frustrated by the United States author
tiles along a coast line of $40 miles,
not one man nor one cartridge would
have been illicitly landed in Clba from
the United States. Out of the 60
alleged expeditions, only four have been
broken up by Spain. Illustrating this
statement, he refers particularly to the
expedition that left on the Laurada
GIlQ Icoil0GU 81 Dulles
on March q. Banes is an important
seaport on the northern coast of Cuba,
with which the United States carried
on valuable fruit trade until the
Spanish order prohibiting the exporta
ton of bananas was issued"
He further says that unless Spain is
prepared to avow her inability or iu-
disposition to defend her interests in
Cuba, then the responsibility Tor any
fiiibustering expeditions may properly
be fixed on Spanish authorities in Cuba,
who had been properly informed by the
Spanish legation. He makes the further
statement that the Spanish have re-
peatedly asserted that all the seaports
in Cuba were in their possession.
There is a world of meaning in that
last statement, and it would be we'll for
the Spanish to heed it. All that the
secretary says is not only full Of mean
ing, but shows a disposition to treat
Spain less cordially than has been the
custom, and to recognize a. condition
of things in Cuba that it has been the
policy of the government to ignore.
There are mutterings in this report.
