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
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
lnhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition 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 fol circu-
lars; free.

TREASURY BALANCES.

Their Manipulation In Debauchery OF
Our rPolitics--How a Bcne ticent DEM
ocratic Law Operated to the Profit OF
the People and Was Surreptitiously
Set Aside by the eMachine--The Proof
That Democrats, When They Are In,
Do Real Reform Work.
The state treasury balances. whether
real or fictitious, have never since 1888
fallen below s3,6S7,035 and have gone
as high as s6,679,S54. According to the
reports of the auditor general and state
treasurer they have been, for the last
ten wears as follows

$3.50, $50 $4,722 465
These figures need little explanation.
They show that in fourteen years, un-
der the unbroken direction of Republic
can lawmakers, executive departments
have been multiplied, salaries increased,
new and useless deputies and clerks
employed and contingent funds padded.
until from half a million, our execu-
tive expenses have swelled to a mil
lion and q half for each two years.
They show that while the number
of senator's and members and the al
lowances for mileage, stationery and
postage are the same as in 1888, by in
creasing the already large enough force
of clerks and other employees, by add
ing enormously to contingent expense
to fee party favorites, by awarding
pay for regular committee services, by
creating whitewashing and fraudulent
investigating committees (whose per-
quisites were not vetoed), by piling
up the cost of contested elections, etc.,
they have swelled the charge upon the
people for holding a legislative session
about 100000, or over 35 per cent.
They show that the expenditure for
printing and binding the often worse
than useless state, publications has al
most doubled since 1883, although the
actual cost Of doing that kind of work
has been very materially reduced in
the interval.
They show that even the bench has
been made to contribute to the imposi-
tion largely by laws that multiply the
number of judges beyond all reason
and then making statutes that enable
some of them to add almost so per cent
to their legal salaries by holding court
in other districts in years when, in or
der to keep up with the trial lists, they
must have other judges come and hold
court in their own districts.
They show, In brief. that under Re-
publican rule, the system is rotten
from core to rind. and that there Is but
one chance for real reform, which lies
in electing Democratic executive ad-
ministration ard Democratic legisla-
ture.

Spanish Loss at Clenfuegos Heavy,

Key West, Fla, May l9.-( ASSOCIATED
Press, THE Spanish loss during the re-
cent engagement at Cienfuegos Is now
known to have been much heavier than
at first reported. Three hundred Span
iards were killed and several hundred
wounded. Great damage was done along
the coast Soon after the engagement
the United States cruiser Marblehead
picked up several Cubans in an open
boat, some miles down the coast inClud-
ing Colonel Oriz, Lieutenant Olvarez and
three priVates, from an insurgent camp
near Cienfuegos
They reported that the Spanish losses
and the damage wrought by the shells
from the warship were very heavy. The
hospitals at Cienfuegos, they said, were
full of wounded and fear prevails every
where that the American ships would
return to complete the work of destruc-
tiOn.
During the engagement the Marble
head threw $50 iiVe-inCh shells into the
Spanish forces, and zoo shots from her
secondary battery.
The gunboat Nashville threw as many
more shells and 1,2OO shots from her
secondary battery.
Fifteen hundred Spaniards were sta
toned in an improvised fortress on a
neck Of land and upon this the ships
concentrated their fire, and it was here
that the most terrible destruction was
wrought. During the heavy fire of shells
and just after the lighthouse was blown
up five Spaniards who were running to-
gether in an attempt to escape were
picked off by a she'll from the Marble
head, the gunner being ordered to fire
upon them by Ensign Pratt. They were
torn to pieces.

The Spanish cabinet resigned early
last week and Premier Sagasta was del

little trouble in doing so, and the new
ministers are in Office. In the cortes

new ministry would continue the policy
of its predecessors. He said that Spain
did everything to avoid war with Amer

Americans had forced 1t.
