Cupid breaks his bow at the sight of
a face full of pimples. Hollow cheeks
sunken eyes, and sallow complexion
will defy his best intentions. Beauty
is more than skin deep. The skin is
merely the surface on which is written
in plain characters the condition of the
body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is good for the complexion
because it makes the whole body
healthy because it clears and purifies
the blood, makes the digestion strong
and clears out impurities of all kinds.
BY increasing the ability Ito assimilate
nutritious food, and by the infusion
of its own ingredients it enriches the
blood and so makes solid, healthy
flesh. 1t cures diseases of the lungs,
liver, stomach, bowels skin and scalp,
simply because all these diseases spring
from the same cause-a disOrdered
digestion and consequent impure
blood.

The Republicans are finding it
very difficult to explain satifac-
torily the cut in wages put into eff
feet the other day throughout the
New England cotton mills, and
which has resulted in strike in
volving a hundred thousand en-
ployees.
Dingley foundered miserably in
this morass, protesting that his bill
and the tariff have nothing to do
with the cut and the strike
The reporter called on President
Mckinley the other day to get his
opinion. AS the chief executive of
the country and the author Of the Nc
Klnley bill, he would naturally be
supposed to be the very man to point
out the cause of this trouble and the
remedy for it. A great deal of light,
therefore, was expected to be shed
by him on this subject, but the inter-
view has proved disappointment:
Mr.. Mckinley was tssorry, very
sorry" that there shout be gen.
eral reduction of wages in an in
dustry of such large proportions as
the manufacture of cotton goods,
aud that a strike should result
He was disposed at first to close the
affair witt, this expression of sorrow.
working people ought to get living
wages" he rema rked, tsaud we can't
blame them for protesting when
they feel that the cut is too great |
and they cannot get along" When
number of cases of real suffering |
were detailed to him, he said: |
tsWell Pm sorry to hear that the
people are suffering. 1t seems
pity that there should be such a
state of AFFAIRS -. ..a..
This sympathy, however, has |
very little economic, value, and /
when pressed for an explanation of
the cause of the depression and the
remedy for it, he said: ssThe res
friction of immigration is the first
important thing to be done if we
expect permanent prosperity -
The President could not better
show his complete ignorance of the
question. He has shifted suddenly
from the tariff to immigration as the
cause of :business unsettlement and
depression, and person who does
lot know even the meaning of po-
itical economy must see that immi-
grafton has nothing to do with the
cotton strike. The New England
are crippled by the
of the Southern mills,
nd the latter employ almost alto
ather native labor. If not one
immigrant had landed on our shores

rave effected the question as far as
southern comp etition is concerned.
The truth is that there is no way

The latest reports from the Arctic
gold fields indicate decided change OF
sentiment among the miners In favor
of seeking their gold on the American
side of the line. Such revulsion was
to be expected and the idea Is to be
commended The Klondike Is not the
only gold region in the Yukon valley
There is every reason to believe that
there are Just as rich deposits in the
Alaskan streams as in those OF the
northwest territory, and they can be
prospected and worked under much
more liberal restrictions. The fact that
the Klondike output of gold has fallen
somewhat below what even the most
conservative expected is in large part
due to the needlessly heavy tax laid on
mining enterprises by the Canadian
government The fact that the govern
ment has collected tax of $4,000 on
81 900 900 is bound to have its deterrent
effect upon the full development of the
country. There is reason to believe
that the Canadian authorities have
overreached themselves In this matter,
and the marked movement that has
now begun toward Alaskan streams
PROMISES soon to prove that Canada's
loss will be our gain. Forty Mile creek,
which was the original Yukon gold
field. is being worked again. and It IS
inst as reasonable to expect that new
and richer strikes will be made on our
side of the line as on the other. Am
erican prospectors will do well In fu-
ture to keep this fact in mind and To-
cate their claims where they can
work them without exorbitant taxa

In the opinion of Carlos s. Fox. for
mer United States vice-consul at San
tiago, the surrender of that Spanish
stronghold means the resumption of
business, with good chances for wide
awake, active business men, who grasp
the situation early to reap the great
est benefits. He says that, except a
match factory in Santiago, there arc
no manufacturing plants in eastern
Cuba. Everything the people wear,
eat and drink comes from other coun-
tries. This being the case, there will
be a frst-class opportunity for all
manufacturing enterprises. The land,
which is fertile, but so far has not
been properly titled. is we'll adapted to
raising coffee, sugar, tobacco and cat
tie, which, according to Mr.. Fox, could
be sent to the United States without
causing competition with home pro-
ducts. In the interior the land abounds
with mahogany, cedar and other kinds
of timber. Concluding the vice-consul
saws that railroad is needed from
Santiago to Havana, distance OF about
400 miles. This would greatly develop
the country.
