THE MAN AND HIS HOUSE.

The ordinary polite inquire, "How
do you do?" calls nothing but con-
ventional polite response; but man
is passed "the allotted age," and a
philosopher besides, it may elicit a
reply full of meaning and worthy of
record.
When John Quincy Adams was
eighty years old he met in the streets
of Boston an old friends of his who
shook his trembling hand and said:
ssGood morning! And how is John
Quincy Adams today?"
ssThank you," was the ex-Presid-
ent's answer. "John Quincy Adams
himself is we'll, sir; quite we'll, thank
you. But the house in which he lives
at present is becoming dilapdated. 1t
is tottering upon its foundation. Time
and the seasons have nearly disrobed
it, it's roof is pretty we'll worn out.
The old tenement is becoming almost
uninhabitable, and | think John Quin-
CIV Adams will have to move out of it
soon; but he himself is quite well, sir;
quite WE'LL"
With that the venerable sixth Pres
ident of the United States moved on
with the aid of his staff.
1t was not long afterward that he
had his second and fatal stroke of par
alysis in the Capitol at Washington.
GaThis iS the last of earth - he said.

New England's strength in the Unit

is due largely to the practice of select
ing good men in the first place and
keeping them in the seats term after
term, SO that experience is added to
natural ability and the constituents
are we'll served. Of the twelve Sena-
tors from the New England states,
seven-Morrill of Vermont, Platt and
Hawley of Connecticut, Hoar of Mass
achusetts, Hale and Frye of Maine,
and Aldrich of Rhode Island-have
served as fellow members since 1881.
Messrs. Morrill, and Platt have recent
ly been elected, while Gallinger of
New Hampshire is to be chosen for
second term. In states where politi-
cal faith wavers every few years it is
impossible to follow the New Eng
land plan, but it would be far better
for the country we're there fewer and
less frequent changes in the compost

The re- election of Senator Pritch
ard from North Carolina by the COM
bined vote of republicans and popu-
lists is important for more than one
reason. 1t renders the passage of a
tariff,bill by. the next senate absolute
" certain, and it drives another nail
in the coffin of the old line democra-
cy.
Jeter G. Pritchard is lawyer, ma
tive of Tennessee, 40 years old, who
was first elected to the senate in 1895
to fill vacancy occasioned by the
death of Zebulon B. Vance. The No,
Carolina legislature then as now was
quite evenly divided between demo-
Gratis, republicans and populists and
an arrangement was made between
the last two by which the republicans
got the senator for the short term
ending in 1897, and the popuiists one
for the loug term beginning in 1895.
Last year the popn)ists voted for Bry-
an, but their alliance vito the repub-
icans on state issue continued, result
ing in the election of republican
governor and the re election of a re-
publican senator, whose vote was
very much needed to carry out the
party policy in the next congress. OF
the two parties who allied themselves
with the populists in North Carolina
last year the republicans seem to
have secured the most substantial
advantages gained in state and ma
ton by the election of a governor
certainly outweighs the electoral
votes cast for a defeated candidate.
Senator Pritchard is republican
who has been in accord with his par
ty on every question except that of
free coinage of silver. If by interna-
tional agreement something can be
done by the next administration tow
ards the, larger use of silver Senator
Pritchard will be a supporter of re-
publican policy on this as we'll as 9TH
er points. He is an unfllnching cham
pion of protection for home indus
tries, and his election conclusively
shows that the cause of free trade is
on.the wane at the south. The Bour-
bon democrats of North Carolina
must be impressed by this time with
the fact that the world moves and
that North Carolina is no exception to
the rule.

Exclusive of those connected with
the advertising department, a numer-
Gus branch, and the stockholders in
such of the concerns as are incorpo-
rated, 10000 men are eng aged in the
patent medicine manufactures of the
United States, receiving collectively
more than $4,000, 900 year in sal
aries and wages. There are $50 such
manufactures, ranging in Importance
from those which food the American
and the foreign market with propri
etary medicines, as the are technical
ly called, down to the small labora
tories or botanist shops, in which
some particular herb or root is, in a
grudging and primitive manner, sup
piled to such persons as may have
heard of its efficacy. The Partially of
Americans for patent medicines is
well known, and doctors-who don't
usually agree-agree in declaring that
the true reason for the extensive use
of such medicines in the United
States is to be found in the fact that
dyspepsia is a general ailment, and
that persons suffering from dyspep-
STA are prone to believe that they
have some other ailment. Thus they
be ome patent medicine patrons un-
der conditions that recall the remark
of Col. Mulberry Sellers, the sanguine
benefits of the "Oriential Eye Water,a
the sale of which he believed would
enrich him, declared that the more of
it people used, the more of it they
would need, and hence the sale once
started would constantly increase in
volume.
Many of the patent medicines sold,
if not, indeed, majority of them, do
not come under this description, for
they are merely compounds in pleas
ant form and in palatable shape of
drugs and medicines in constant use
by physicians, and found efficacious
in what is called general practice.
Though it didn't used to, New York
now stands at the head of the cities of
the U. s. in the manufacture of pat
emit medicines, With eighty I'VE fac
tories, giving employment to 1000
persons, at aggregate wages in excess
of 100000 a year. Philadelphia
comes second, St. Louis third, New
Haven fourth, and Lowell fifth. In
to it's population Lowell is
the American city which is most
deeply interested in patent medicine
After Lowell comes
Chicago, poor sixth. 1t is a some
what peculiar circumstance that |
though enormous quantities of pat
emit medicines are sold in the South. |
and the ingredients for their manu-
facture come very largely from that |
section, few patent medicines are
made in the South, though New Or !
cans and Atlanta do little in this
line.
