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 inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets infamed you have
rumblng sound Or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless he Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
FORMAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

The extent to which Europe is stirred by
the result at Paris Is probably not accu-
rately to be ascertained from these first
outgivings on the subject. One may easily
believe that interest everywhere is quick
cned. TIE withdrawal of an old and de-
cayed power like Spain from a quarter OF
the globe where so much is developing, and
the appearance in her place there of a
young and vigorous power in the front rank
Of progress. must be taken into account.
1t means much. European affairs in their
oriental connections are involved, and will
have to be adjusted to meet the new condi-
tions.
But why should any European power
justly feel itself aggrieved by the growth of
the United States and the purpose it mani
tests to shape its policy of expansion In &C
cordance with the plain dictates of prudence
and reason? The fie d of progress is in a
large measure open. Europe would doubt
less be very glad to have the United States
today call halt upon itself, cancel the
whole work done at Paris. retire within the
old sfrell and announce the intention of re-
naming there. That would remove a for
midahle competitor for the rapidly growing
trade of the orient. But the United States
had perfect right to enter that field, and
now that it has done so it owes no apollo
gies to anybody. nor will any be offered,
or paid upon demand
Nor is the United States likely to declare
itself hurriedly as to the future. Why
should it? Its new possessions are to it
most decidedly new, and time will be neceS-
sary to formulate a thorough policy both as
to them and as to its larger self with them
included Meanwhile ii will be enough for
the outside world to know-and the fact
is patent enough-that the United States
is now a power to be reckoned with in all
the large calculations: that it's interests are
greater and broader than ever before: that
its policies are humane and enlightened.
and that with every desire to be a good
neighbor. in the orient as elsewhere 1t has
the capacity and the disposition to take
care of its interests by force if necessary
There is little if any danger from with
out Our chief concern now-and that Is
not great-relates to sentiment from with
In. To what extent are those who oppose
the administration here at home willing
TO go in an effort to balk OF embarrass 1t
In this momentous matter? What line will
the opposition take when the treaty reaches
the Senate? What comfort will Europe
take from this advertisement of American
division on this point? What calculations
as to the next presidential race will be
based upon it? European grumpiness Is
not likely to overstep bounds. Are there
many Americans willing to do what Eu-
rope wisely abstains from doing? The rec
ord on the subject when made will be one
to remember.

The Life Saving Service

Year after year the report of the annual
operations OF the life saving service DEM
onstrates the value of the money invest
ment represented in its establishment and
maintenance. The report for 1898. however
comes at particularly timely season. on
the heels of the first great storm of the
season, which has caused a large amount
of damage, and has given to the .coas.
guard the hardest task thus far of the
year 1t is always interesting to note .ba
vast difference between the money spent on
the service and the money saved throupb
its efforts. The showing has grown some
what monotonous in its eyer-insistent rev.
elation of a shrewd business bargain hut
1t is comforting, nevertheless, to observe
how far governmental effort in this direc.
ton discfoses the value of organization and
discipline. This year the service cost 81.

the establishment with relation to the
counry's commerce. Deducting this extra.

course. of the human lives saved incident
ally, aggregating 4.055. Were not a dollar
OF value saved through the efforts of the
service. these lives would alone far more
than pay for the costly establishment. An
Interesting feature of this years report is
the showing that whereas there were mora
wrecks during the twelve months than in
previous years there were fewer losses of
life. This seems to reflect favorably upon
the improved methods of life saving, and
perhaps the greater efficiency of the per-
sonnet of the service. Or it may only mean
that the wrecks. though in greater num-
Der, were situated as to permit a more
general saving of life. But the public, lont;
accustomed to the good work of this sys
tenn, will doubtless prefer to believe the
former assumption to be true.

Gossip About MIR. Reed.

Speaker Reed. who is at all times and in
all aspects a very Interesting man, is JUS:
now the subject of more than the usual
amount of discussion in democratic circles.
1t is conceded that he will again be
Speaker but radically different things are
expected of him when he lifts the gavef
over the next House.
On the one side are those who predict
that he will use his Office 10 thwart the
whole foreign policy of the administration.
The steps he will take to do this are not
indicated, but the prediction is none the less
positive on that account. The argument
advanced is thai Mr. Reeds political career
is practically closed, that there is nothing
beyond the Speakership for him. that he
does not like the President. and will busy
himself henceforth playing for even.
On the other side are those who predict
that he will do just the other thing They,
too, assert that he has gone as high as he
may hope to go; bat in their opinion his
spirit is broken, and he will offer his Shout
ders obediertly for any burden the admin
istratiou may choose to place upon them.
They assert that he will practically BE put
under bonds for good behavior before being
allowed to take the chair again.
There is likewise z revival of that Old
CUFF about Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Bailey. The
Speaker in this cackle is represented as i'm
posing MIR. Bailey on the minority as leader
in a spirit of grim jest. Mr.. Bailey, it is
asserted. has received his distinction from
the republican Speaker, instead of from his
own party. This. of course. Is the rankcst
nonsense. Mr.. Bailey's leadership of his
party in the present House is the result of
his party's formal pronOuEcement in his
favor. He defeated Mr.. McMillln for the
honor In regular caucus by a large major
ity. and the Speaker In his committee ap-
pointments was necessarily guided by that
expression of the democracy.
But Mr.. Bailey is not the first democrat
accused of yielding to the hypnotic in
fuences of Mr.. Reed. The same charge
was brought against Bourke Cochran WREN
he was in Congress. and the basis of :. was
Mr.. Reeds appreciation of a bright man,
who spoke well and manifested fine capac-
tiles for public business.
In this irresponsible twaddle Mr. Reed is
made to play several parts-both a Judas
and a numbled servitor to his own party,
and joker 10 the democracy. Those who
Know the Speaker best do not in the least
anticipate that he will play either of the
predicted discreditable roles.

unmistakable evidence of the country's in

ton which the civil service affords. 1t is
in the management of the rural free de-
livery that Mr. Heath has most fully
demonstrated his ability. He inaugurated
and extended that system until To-Day its
ramifications spread all over the United
States.

should Be Investigated Immediately

FROM the Salt Lake Herald.
The charge that plural marriages are
being solemnized H. violation of the state
constitution is not charge against a dem
ocrat' 1t Is not charge against a candi-
date; it is not a charge against any indi-
Vidual. 1t is serious charge against a
whole people, against a church and it's off,
cials.
IL Is no excuse to eXonerate the old men
of the church by placing the blame upon
the younger ones. If the practice of SOL
emDtzing plural marriages is still going on.
as contemporary declares that it is the
leading officials of the organization must
know of it; they responsible anyhow.
The insinuation that Mormon elders are
performing such forbidden ceremonies in
defiance of the law reflects upon almost the
entire male membership of the church
No elder has the right to solemniZe a
marriage except when contracting parties
nave license, duly procured, which au-
thorizes him to perform the ceremony
This covert charge against the elders of
the dominant church is serious and sweep
ing. They owe it to themselves, to the
church and to the state to demand an i'm
mediate investigation.

The Fault in Our System.
From the indianapolis Journal.

Discipline makes the difference between
volunteers and regulars, and the lack of it
is the weak point in our volunteer system.
1t is not the fault of the men, but of the
system, affecting officers as we'll as men.
Officers fresh from civil life and unused
either 10 giving or obeying orders can
hardly be expected to realize the impor-
lance of strict discipline as do trained sol
diers while he men under them are apt to
be slow to learn the lesson of sinking their
individuality in the soldier and rendering
blind obedience to orders. Our form of gov
eminent and political system tends more
tnan any other in the world to develop in
dlViduaity and independence. 1t makes
men questioners, arguers, critics, kickers.
This may be a good thing In II citizen but
1t Is very bad in soldier.

were, and so acknowledged themselves,
deeply in his debt. He and Mr.. Randall,
although on opposite sides of the fence,
worked together, the one In the Speaker S
chair and the other on the floor of the
House, to kill the first so-called Force bill.
The south was full of gratitude at the time.
but afterwards assisted IN the campaigns
which resulted in the rout of both of her
benefactors. She voted to put Mr. Carlisle
over Mr.. Randall and to deny to Mr.
Blaine the supreme object of his ambition.
In the case of Mr.. Blaine, he could not of
course expect southern democrats to vote
for him for President but he had right
TO expect fair treatment at their hands.
and this he did not receive. The Force bill,
as they complained, would deny them their
rights at the baliot-box He as Speaker of
the House assisted in blocking the meas
ure. and their return for this was to take
possession of the polls when he ran for
President, and by terrorism practiced on
the republicans of the south secure the
solid electoral strength of the section for
Mr.. Blaine's opponent and thereby accom-
piish Mr.. Blaine's defeat.
But the injury inflicted proved to be far
greater than of personal moment, great as
that was. The south that year, and by
counting the negroes out at home and
counting them in here, brought into ma
tional office Grover Cleveland. But for the
south. and her strength in the electoral
college based upon population to a large
part of which she denied the right of
suffrage. Mr.. Cleveland would have re-
turned to Buffalo after his term of office a.
governor of New York expired, and the
country, the south included, would have
been spared what the south especially con-
siders the blight of his national leadership.
