political fraud and bribery is exposing
the institutions of the country, and are
making feeble efforts to reform or abolish
the practice. The fundamental defect in
the frame work of Our state and national
government which tempts to political
dishonesty that leads up to other crimes,
Is in the government being placed too far
from the people. The majority of the
men in authority when our national and
State constitutions were formed, and the
frame work of the government was set@up,
doubted the ability of the people for alb
Solute self government. Experience has
proven that these old patriots were
wrong, and that the people alone and
only, are the true safeguards of their
liberties, that in the masses of the people
reside the largest measure of human
wisdom and justice. Small masses of
men. like individuals can be tempted and
corrupted, led away from the path of
honesty and honor, by mercenary motives
or thirst for power, but the great mass
of people is beyond such influences. The
enlightened judgment of the masses is
lifted above the power of bribery and
cannot long be led astray by the misrep-
reservations Of demagogues. Common
school education is making capable leg
islators of the whole people, and the
alarming evils of political party corrup-
ton is crying aloud for direct legislation,
constituting the entire people as law
makers in place of small delegated class
The whole people are always honest and
in the end are wiser than part.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dtion of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling 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 in
famed 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 Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

THE MAGNATEs STRADDLE
Action of Board of Directors of
National League.
FREEDMAN Is LET DOWN EASY
Holmes Is Declared Guilty and the

Cannot he Collected Unless
"Ducky' Is Suspended for the
Balance of the Season-The Boyle
Case

Philadelphia Aug. 15.-Holnes is guilty
against the New York club in the matter
of the sale of Jack Boyle for sl.o0O. Such
are the findings of the directors of the
National League. In the Boyle case the
board decided that the Philadelphia club
failed 10 comply with the conditions of
the offer made by the New York club for
the services of Jack Boyle, thereby failing
TO complete a contract, and the Philadel-
phia club has no claim for compensation"
The decision in the case of the Balti-
more Club against New York rather out
tops all the leagues legislation of recent
years. 1t is sop to two clubs. The board
could not dismiss the case, but in order
TO let Freedman down easily, 1t took adj
vantage of the power conferred by sec
ton 81 and punished the player whose re-
mark Is said TO have led 10 the withdraw
al of the Giants from the field.
Furthermore IL makes the payment of
the check contingent upon Baltimore
Furnishing the player. The New York
club is ordered to turn over to President
Young a check for 81. 600 10 be held by him
until October 10. when it shall be turned
over 10 the Baltimore Club, provided that
OF date, August 10, suspend Holmes for
the balance OF the playing season 1885,
1t is also stipulated that the 81, 900 is in
lieu of any claim Baltimore may have for
its share OF the gate receipts of the game
in which the rumpus occurred AS Bal
timore's share of the gate receipts of Ju-
ly % amounted to something like s4S5 it
will be seen that it win be profit only TO
the extent of s515 instead of $1,000 as pro-
vided for in the rules. But as an offset
to this 1t must after the 18th instant do

balance Of the season or forfeit its claim
10 the whole amount of the $1,000.

BOAT RACE DECLARED OFF.
Freshet Brought Disappointment to
Potomac and AnaIOstan Crews

The eight-oared boat race for mixed
crews from the Potomac and Analostan
boat clubs, scheduled for Saturday after
noon and postponed then on account of
the high water, has been declared off.
Much to the surprise of everyone, the
high water went down rapidly on Satur-
day and by the time set for the race 1t
was in fair condition. When the Ana
lostans discovered this state of affairs
they got their crew together and at the
appointed time rowed over to the Potomac
house to see If the race might not be
rowed. Not expecting the water to be
anywhere near its normal condition, the
Potomacs had no idea that the race could
be rowed and only one or two dropped
down to the boat house and the rest
could not be reached on such short notice.
The race was partly postponed to yes
terday afternoon. In the meantime one
of the Potomac crew was taken sick and
others had arranged for their leave. There
was no other alternative than TO put
off the race indefinitely, much to the re-
gret of the members of both clubs.

1T CURES AS "a
NATURE CURES
Another Lesson From Doctor Cowdens TeachngWhy Former
Methods Failed to Relieve Deafness The Treatment
That Cures Is as Simple as Nature and as impressive
in Its Results as Nature.

great many who are sick get
well without any treatment or medicine. They
get well because Nature is stronger than the
disease, and overcomes it, drives it out, and
heals and cures the sores. But there some
ttouhles that Nature won't heal. Nature alone
VIII not relieve Deafness, unless it is due to
some temporary cause.
The treatment that cures Deafness is the
treatment that most nearly approaches Natures
methods.
The treatment that involved the use of sur
geons tools in dealing with the ears, the treat
ment that involved the use of strong solutions
by means of violent sprays, was contrary to all
Natures laws and was ludierously inadequate
Now that the Cowden treatment has been so
generally accepted by the profession and the
public as the only cure for Deafness, the
only treatment that has lifted the blight of
the word ..incurable' from head noises, il would
that only slight knowledge of the struc-
ture OF the ear would have prevented the de-
lusion that so-called specialists practiced for
years upon their patients.
No surgeon ever cured Deafness by the pune
turing of the drum, or by boring or cut
ting probing or burning, or by the removal
Of one or of all the small chain OF bones in
the middle ear, by the violent imitation of
the Eustachian Tubes by instruments, Politzer
bags, etc.
No plan of treatment, with strong medicines
and caustic solutions, cured Deafness, be-
cause by reason of its construction and locs-
tion, it never reached the obstruction in the
Eustachian Tube that caused it.
In the Cowden practice only is TO be found
a successful treatment for Deafness, because il
treats Nature treats and cures. Breathed
in as air is breathed in, impregnated with
medication as subtle and imperceptible the
air itself, il reaches every spot from the
orifce of the nose to the innemost recessos of
the middle ear, and reaching them with every
inhalation of the breath, il first soothes and
quiets, and then heals and cures.

CANADA TAKES THE SECOND.
The Dominion Defeats the ChaI-
ienrer af Lake st Louis

Montreal. Aug. 15.-The Canadian de-
fender Dominion won the second of the
series of races for the Seawanhaka in
ternationaI challenge cup today.
The race was over triangular course
of four miles on Lake st. Louis, sailed
three times over, making a course of
twelve miles, each leg of the course being
a mile and one-third.
The boats reached the starting point
shortly before II O'Clock, but owing TO
the lack of breeze. IL was decided 10 post
pone the hour for the start.
About noon fair breeze commenced to
blow from the south and soon freshened
TO a good sailing breeze. When the start
ing gun was fired, Duggan secured a
slight advantage in the start, the Do
minion crossing the line a trifie ahead.
The Challenger set her spinnaker. and
the Canadian crew, which was slower in
handling their sails, set the defenders a
few seconds later. Crane was maneuver-
ing 10 get to windward of the defender
and he finally succeeded, going right
around to windward, blanketing the de-
fender and taking the lead.
After getting the lead. the Challenger
made for the first mark. rounding it at
1920, followed seven seconds later by the
Dominion. II was a clever bit of sail
ing on the part of the Americans, but
after turning the buoy Duggan got TO
windward of the Challenger and on the
remainder of that leg, which was a beat
to windward, it was an easy gain for the
Defender.
The Dominion rounded the buoy, COM
pleting the first round at I:47:19. The Chal-
lenger followed one minute and fifteen
seconds later The Challenger showed
herself the better boat in the free run be-
| fore the wind and on the broad reach ma
| terially lessened the defenders lead.
| The Dominion completed the second
round al 2;27:40, the Challenger following
! at 2:30. The Challenger, on the final
broad reach, succeeded in making a
marked gain on the defender which
turned the mark only thirty seconds in
| the lead. but what it gained on the reach
! it lost on the windward beat and at the
second mark the Dominion had increased
| her lead to two minutes and fifteen sec
onds
| 1t was then apparent that the Chal-
| lenger had no chance, and it was an easy
win for the defender which increased
| her lead on the reach home, crossing the
! line two minutes and forty-seyen seconds
