The Right Remedy Will

If YOU would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the tortures produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is disordered state OF

THE MESSAGE.

We publish the Presidents message in our
local edition this week, so every reader can
form his own opinion of it. So far as we can
understand the message, there is nothing in it
aside from partial resume of the years Incl
dents. Mckinley. seems afraid to tackle the
PHILIPPINE question-at any rate, he says not
word about it. He talks favorably to Cuban in
dependence-with string to it.
In looking over the expressed opinions of
who are favorably impressed with the message.
In fact, the message emphasizes the fact that
the President is a weak, willing tool of the fell
lows who want to make money at the expense
of humanity.

HE government pays for the building Of $50
postal cars every year, yet it does not own one
of them. 1t not only docs this, but it throws in
$500 on each car for good measure. An ordi-
nary postal car costs S., 900, and the government
pays to the railroad company $500 for the use
OF that car each year. There are $50 such.
cars in use, for which the railroads get about
$4,000, 900 annually. One of those cars will
last twenty years, and during that time the rail-
roads collect from Uncle Sam $72, 900, 900 and
have lot of old lion and kindlng wood left.
The cars cost the railroads altogether only So
100000, but in twenty years they got from the
United States scventy-two millions In addition
to this we pay the railroads $50, ooo, 900 year
for carrying the mail in those cars that we buy
every year, but never own How long would
the business of private individual last if he
would make this kind of trade? The railroads
carry the express cars for many times less money
than they charge for carrying the mails. Why
should the government be robbed any more
than an express company? There is no use in
getting mad over this outrageous extorioa, but
we are much to blame il we don't derive frsm
it useful lesson in politics. Public ownership
of railways and mail cars will settle this stu
pendous steal, and settle it forever. When that
time comes, and it is surely coming, the postal
service instead of being constant expense.
will be source of prodigious profit. When
we build mail car, we will build it for ourselves
and not for somebody else, and we will transport
the mails for six million dollars instead of thirty
millions. How soon will people quit their fool.

WE are going to spend twenty millions OF

per-they couldn't raise over nineteen millions
to save their lives-but we, the American peo-
pie, are going to do this thing. We will invest
our money in islands and savages--twenty mil
lions for the Philippines and everything therein
contained. We will get eight millions OF peo-
pie of various colors and assorted sizes, millions
of acres of land, OH which we can raise cigar
cites and centipedes, continuing revolution
that commenced with the dawn of history, and

pestilence that walketh at monday. Nobody
ever got so much for so little money. The de-
partment stores can't hold candle to us, and
the ninety-nine cent fellows aren't i'll it. Our
hired men who are negotiating this trade say
that when they get the islands, they will make
them on open door for all nations The Non
conformist does not favor this, for if the door
is always open, the poor PHILIPPINES may catch
cold; and besides, we may not be able to keep
all open door, The natives may close and lock
it, and pile up the furniture against 1t. Be-

door even when we buy it. Our title may fail.

would be great bargain if we could get eight
million slaves at two dollar. and a half apiece,
but does Spain have right to sell whole ma

we have read somewhere that all men are Gre
ated equal, and there is no just government
without the consent of the governed But this
is probably glittering generality, written for
effect, and don't mean anything. But law or

THERE has been great deal said about Mr..
Roberts, the Democratic congressman-e1ect
from Utah, on account of his having three
wives. According to law, this incapacitates
him from taking his seat in congress. The
Republicans hoped thus to seat their candidate.
However, it transpires that the Republican can
didate also has three wives. If the law is
obeyed, neither man can occupy the seat. This
would, naturally, give the place to Warren Eos
ter, the Populist candidate, who has but one
wife. But, then, it wouldn't do to give the
place to "crazy Pop" so the law will be ig-
nored, and the polygamous Democrat will
doubtless be seated as he received the most
votes.

porary halt a few days ago when a
Jury awarded $3.50 10 an abutting prop

Of the avenue and the damage was
caused by the earth falling away and
depriving the injured property Of lateral

The damages awarded were very low.

was a decision by the supreme court
on a preliminary demurrer which may
well cause the city authorities some
anxiety The interlocut0ry defense was
that the damage. which first took place
IN 1881, could not be sued upon. because
the statute OF limitations had run. The
court held that since some Of the earth
fell last year the damages were contln-

availed to prevent a movement every

A similar action was begun several
years ago by James Park. but the court
held against him on the ground that his
wife was a necessary party, and when
the complaint was amended by making
her party the lower court decided that
the statute had run and it was too late
for her to come in. This was supposed
To end the matter. but now the danger
of damage suits has been revived on this
theory of continuing damages.
