Bond Holders Should Pay Taxes.

Ex-President Harrison made speech
recently at Chicago in which he took
high ground, that well-to-do men must
not shirk taxation on personal prop
erty. Whether there is an Adams law
there or not, he believes that persons
who receive the benefit from property,
should bear their share of the public
burden.
''Taxes are debt of the highest OBJ
legation" said Gen Harrison, ''and no
casuist can draw a sound moral dis
tinctiOn between, the man who hides
his property or makes a false return in
order to escape the payment of his
debt to the State and the man who con-
ceals his property from his private
creditors. Nor should it be more diff
ficult to followed the defaulter in the
one case than in the other. If our
taxes were farmed out to an individual
or to a corporation they would be col
lected as fully as private debts are now
collected. There would be vigilant
and unrelenting pursuit. The civil
and criminal processes of the law
would be invoked with effect, Just as
they were against fraudulent debtors
under the Bankrupt law.
every agent that deals with public
and social questions should lend its
help. The Grand Jury should be
charged to investigate and to indict the
delinquents. Returns and assessments
must be honest. If there are Unequal
tiles in the law they must be remedied.
The particular question. the one our
people must solve and solve speedily
is the enforcement of the personal
property tax and the equalization of
real estate assessments.

What the KlOndike Stampede Means to
Trade.

What does an exodus of 100, 900 to
the Klondike mean to the business of
the country? have figured it out ON
the basis of cost and proportion as as
certained, and it is this That each
man of them would average first and
last an expenditure of 5000, making
a grand total of $50, 600, 900. The
United States railroads would get So,
000,00 of this; Seattle merchants and
hotel keepers, for outfits and transient
guests, $25, 900, 900; the prospector's s
home and towns en- route to Seattle
and other Pacific coast points, $5,000,
900; ship companies, for transportation
to Alaska, $4,000, 600; and for the
transportation of freight over passes
and in Alaska, $15, ,000,0 This would
represent only the actual needs of this
many prOspectors, and would cause a
large increase in other business di
rectly connected with it. 1t means
that in 1898 $50, 900, 900 will be spent in
search of gold in the yellow creeks,
and in the same year not more than
one-fourth of that amount will be pro-
duced. But the output is likely to
come nearer the expense as each year
goes by, and in few years to exceed
it.-From ''The Rush to the Klondike'

The lola Trial.

The trial of Zola in Paris centered
the attention of the whole world on
their methods as a court and how JUS
tice is trampled in the dust when there
is a clamOr from the populace, the
army or the Government.
Zola believed and so wrote, that the
army was rotten, and to save Major
EsterhaZy, who, he said, had sold the
plans of the defence of France to her
enemies, had made scape goat of
Capt. Dreyfus because he was of He
brew descent, and had been banished as
punishment toa Devil Island. Zola
and his eloquent lawyer, Labori, were
not allowed to cross question the wit
ness, nor were they compelled to tes-
tify where they did not want to. Zola
had a fine imposed of 5000 francs,
and Imprisonment for a year
The court that tried Zoa was de-
termined to convict him, and to con
vict him in order to satisfy the clamor
of the Jew haters. The court was fear
full that a revolution against the re-
public would follow an acquittal of the
novelist; therefore he had to be con-
victed.
The French republic was virtually
ON trial, and it has convicted itself by
an admission that the army controls
the court and dictates verdicts The
French republic, in spite of Zola' S con-
viction, is weaker now than a month
ago. 1t is convicted of cowardice, and
the army-a most powerful element in
in Francis now in position to die
tate terms to the civil government
upon any issue it may seek to raise fol
its own benefit

BOYS PROFANITY.

Swearing going out of vogue? asks
the Hartford Times. We wish it were.
But anybody who goes much among
the people of this country, and espec-
tally, one who listens to the conversa-
ton of the young men in our city
streets, knows that profane swearing is
exceedingly common. In fact there
seems to be more youngsters than ever
before who cannot utter three consecu-
tive sentences without one or more
oaths. 1t grieves us to say that this is
not only true of the big cities, but of the
cities of the West and South. 1t is
true of the New England cities and
towns. One cannot help knowing this
who rides in smoking cars on our
railroads, or waits in railroad stations
or listens to the conversation of the
sporty youths of the period, whereby
two or three of them are gathered to-
gether.
1t is melancholy fact that there are
hundreds if not thousands of young
sters in every American city who are
habitual and incessant swearers. Our
observation is that there are a great
many more than there were a quarter
of century ago. Profanity of speech
by men in public places accompanied
by rude and boorish disregard of the
feelings of strangers who may be un-
willing and disgusted listeners to their
vile conversation. Is there any man
or woman of refinement who is COM
PEELED to travel much in the United
States who will not assent to this
statement?
1t is sign, and of course, an un-
lovely sign, of the growing national
tendency to nervousness and worry
Excessive mental perturbation, readi-
ness to be annoyed at trihes, precipi-
fancy of judgement and expression,
violence of speech, all these things go
together. That profanity increases
among boys is simply sign that it in
creases among the elders. We are
reaching an age wherein about every
thing done by man is done by boy.

Education in Delaware.

THE Century Club has taken up the
matter of Education in Delaware. One
day last week during the noon recess u
delegation from the Wilmington Cen
tury Club and others had conference
with the Educational Committee. Mrs.
G. w. Rowland of Wilmington, made
the opening address. She stated that
there are in Delaware over 5000 per-
sons over 10 years of age who cannot
read and write, white 5000, colored
10000. The speaker urged compulsory
education. Mrs. A. d. Warner spoke
also, advocating truancy schools. Her
remarks were we'll received. Mrs.
BENZ. Nieldsrevived pleasant memories
of Hon. Willard Hall, and Mrs. Turner
of Dover, made plea for the schools
of the rural districts and urged that all
the teachers should be well educated
and that ample provision should be
made for the colored schools. What
effect theis visit had on the Legislature
remains to be seen.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inAamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

M. ZOla on His Trial.

With regard to his present position
Zola is supremely confident. 81 had
to act as l have done, otherwise mat
ters might have allowed to drop, and
that was what, as a firm believer in the
innocence of Dreyfus, I could not
allow Later on people will saw,
The government meant to grant afresh
trial and there was no need for Zola to
be so violent That is what Louis XVI.
said when the Revolution broke out
that there had been no need for the
people to act with violence, that he had
intended all along to grant them the
liberties they desired. If [ had done
nothing people would have said, Now
the affair is finished; Esterhazy has
been acquitted. Let us say nothing
more about it l had to keep the agi-
tation going, because nobody with any
sense of justice and of humanity can
rest until this fearful error has been
rectitied. As to the consequences to
myself, in the first place, jc mc'cn
mOQuc, and, secondly, they cannot be
very serious. With regard to the
criminal prosecution, the penalties
imposed by the law are not very heavy
and as the other suits that are brought
against me, know that it is not the
wish of the government to drive me
to extremes. From pecuniary point
of view l am Indifferent to consequent
ces, and supposing an attempt to ruin
me were successful, which can hardly
be, [ have had offers of support from
numerous friends, and did this week

dent in Switzerland. l have no know

How the Salem SUnbedm does up a
cotemporary: Some one broke in the
Office of the Camden Telegram on
Tuesday night. They stole twenty
pairs of scissors" which accounts for
the lack of editorials in Frank Pat
terson's department on Wednesday.
Then they stole Jack Bailey's new
shoe strings and his world-famous
pipe. They looted Wesley Breeze OF
three pipes, tobacco and a silver match
safe that his best girl gave him Christ
mas. But when the Telegram wants
us to believe that they stole ''a dozen
cakes of soap from the composing
room" we object. No composing room
in the land ever owned twelve cakes of
soap at one time-or used that much
in a generation.

such a reorganization of the owner

CHIEF CAuSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. SO the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
near to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be easily avoided.
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is soon realized. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.
At druggists fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and
phamphlet, both sent free by mail,
upon receipt of three twO-cent stamps to
cover cost of postage on the bottle.

ONE Of TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-

and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
