Two years after, Mrs. Grinnell. still Wig
orous, writes another grateful letter in
praise of this great remedy that has done
so much for her:
Dec. II, 1897.
Wells, Richardson Co.:
Gent!emen-Paine's celery compound
still keeps me from weakness and sick
ness. l do not use it continually, but
take it occasionally, and as a consequence
nave not been sick for a long, long time.
I recommend Paine's celery compound to
every one in need of a remedy, and hope
every old person will use it and be saved
sickness and suffering. Yours very truly,
= Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell.
Paine's celery compound is especially
valuable for recruiting the strength and
spent energies of men and women adj
vanced in years. 1t is the one preparation
considered worthy the name of a true
nerve food and blood remedy by ply
sicians throughout the country. 1t is
prescribed by them in every State in the
Union to tone up the system, regulate
tho nerves and restore health and
strength.
Nothing in the past has ever approach
ed it in power of building up weakened
nerve tissues and giving strength to the
tired body. In severe cases of persistent
headaches, dyspepsia, neuralgia and sleep
i~essness, due to nervous feebleness,
Paine's. celery compound has a record of
rapid and lasting cures that embrace
every city and town in the wide sweep
of the United States.
It's remarkable power over disease lies
in its active replacing of WORKOUT parts
by new healthy ones, and it's healing and
purifying action among the most minute
tissues of the body. 1t searches out the
weak parts at once, and sets to work to
build them up. The tired body feels the
strengthening effects of Paine's celery
compound forthwith.
GIVE the nerves a chance to recover,
and the entire body will regain its health
and strength. Take Paine's celery COM
pound.

An Up.to-Date Marriage Law.

One of the oldest instances of fin-de-
steele insanity is afforded by the Ohio
Legislature, in which an up-to-date rep
resentative of the people, one Charles w.
duced a bill requiring all persons apply
ing for licenses to marry to pass a med
ical examination. Persons having dipso-
mania, any form of insanity, hereditary
tuberculosis or consumption OF erysipelas
are debarredl from marriage by the bill.
An examining board of three physicians
in each county will be treated by the
bill if it becomes a law.
If this were a solitary phenomenon, it
might be passed with a word of wonder
like q two-headed calf or a donkey with
six legs. But unfortunately. it is typical.
The marriage law, which was adopted in
our W State, a year ago, is quite as
bad in principle merely differing in
legitimate and logical limits. The curse
of the day is legislation of his kind, leg
islation which leaves no detail of life to
nature, legislation which converts civil
ization into a grinding paternalism as
deadly as that of the ancient Egyptians
or the modern Chinese.
We doubt if Mr.. Parker's bill will pass
this year. We fear it will in the fu-
ture. The public will be educated up to
it by narrow scientific fools and by other
| people of the large class who love to
domineer over their neighbors. But there
is still, probably, enough common sense
left. even in an Ohio Legislature with
Mark Hanna on its record, to recognize
| or civilized on the one hand nor practical
on the other. We have hardly yet reach
ed that peculiar stage of civilization in
which matrimony will cease to be a
matter of ideal and affection, a mating
of souls. and when human beings will
be paired like horses or dogs or cat
tie. And besides it will occur to most
people that rather than submit to the
proposed examination. it will become
fashionable for all couples, who can raise
the price of tickets, to go out of the
State to wed, while the rest may only
too often dispense with the State license
altogether, and all hi it involves.

The pefe,s In h water Account.


A few days before their term of office
expired, the late Republican Street and
Water Board entered into a contract with
the East Jersey Water Company to sup
ply this city with water. The contract
compels the city to pay $3.50 per million
gallons for every drop furnished, and as
the city consumes on an average about
twenty-five million gallons a day, the
liability contracted was about 1895 a day
or very nearly sseO,Ooo per annum.
Such is the nature of the contract tina
1t binds the company to no reciprocal
obligation. 1t sells us water when 1t mas
any to spare, and that is about all. Even
should it cease entirely to give us any for
means of compulsion. We cannot even
collect a forfeit. This is because of the
prior rights of Newark and one or two
small places to a certain quantum OIL
water which the company is compelled
by contract to furnish to them.
But on account of this laxity of the
contract in respect to the companys
obligations, Jersey City is compelled to
keep in its employ a force of engineers
and coal passers at its Belleville pumping
station. 1t is compelled to keep supplies
on hand there and to have the machinery
in running order. In short it is COM
PEELED to maintain the station at about
seventy-five per cent. of its full operating
cost. thus effecting only the most plea
yune economy as an offset to the enor-
nous sum which it is obliged to pay to
the East Jersey Company.
This is the first great reason of the
deficit in the water account. and if any
process of reasoning will serve to con-
vince the voters of this city that the
present Democratic Street and Water
Board is in any way responsible for it, we
can only say that topsy-turveydom has
taken possession of the earth.

MR.. Dlnelex,. style of Deficit.

Mr.. Dingley's grand national deficit
continues to beat all previous records. If
it keeps on, it may ever touch some of
the figures of the war period.
The tariff for immediate revenue above
all things has now been in operation for
six months. In five out of the six it has
run up a. deficit. In the other month
(December), by some juggling with figures
of a childish kind. it was made show a
very small surplus. The net result of
the half year was a deficiency of about
forty-eight millions of dollars, making
the record of the fiscal year to date about
fifty-two millions of shortage. The month
of February, the seventh of Dingleyism,
is row five days old, and the deficiency
to date already aggregates t-hree-quarters
of a million.
That the Republican party is fully
conscious of the failure of its great meas
ure is s~elf-apparent. The frantic scrim-
mage for economy which has taken pos
session of the House is so grotesquely in
consistent with Republican ideas that the
whole country is laughing at it. 1t is
only a few years since we had Car Reed
justifying the record of the billion dollar
Congress on the ground that this is a
billion dollar country. We were told that
national progress called for generous ex-
p%enditures and the national safety for
lax purse strings. How funny it is, now,
to see Congress cutting down the supply
of ammunition for the great coast forti-
fication guns to three rounds per piece
instead of the very moderate allowance
of ten rounds asked for by the army
authorities.
In presence of q specimen of cheese
pairing policy k the above, it is a trifle
that the appropriation for the fortifica-
lions themselves have been cut from $13;-
37S ,571 to s4,144, 912, and that there is talk
of getting the Rivers and Harbors bill
down to six million dollars. The reduc-
ton of postal accommodations IN all the
cities of the country-especially the DEM
ocratic ones like New York and Jersey
City-is another product of the Dingley
economy regime which may be viewed as
funny or la~mentable, according to the
humor of the Individual. Is it not time
the humbug came to an end? Mr.. Ding
ley says he has no end of schemes up his
sleeve by which millions more may be
secured in revenue-they are all internal
revenue taxes, by the way, so far as he
has revealed them. Why does he not trot
two or three of them out, and place the
Government on a paying basis? The
present situation must have him in a
chronic state of acute mania, for he used
to rave in the most agonized way over
the ruinous effects of deficits when the
Wilson tariff was manufacturing them at
about one-fourth of his annual rate.

BUT the outgoing Republican Commits
sioners were not content with saddling
this old-man-of-the-sea contract upon
the shoulders of their Democratic success
sors. They or their friends had a private
axe to grind as well as a greedy corpora
ton to satiate.
They filled up the works at Belleville
and High Service. the pipe yards, the
stables of the Board with accumulations
of supplies, all of which were in excess
of present needs and some of which
could not legitimately be consumed in
years. These orders for goods were so
shocking, so scandalous, that Mayor
Wanser, Republican though he was. re-
fused to give them the sanction of his
signature. Thus they were left to the
count which had been scraped down to
the very last copper cent for the purpose
of paying the East Jersey Company the
sums in settlement for water already fur
nished. such payment being a feature of
the foul bargain outlined in the first part
of this article.
This is the second reason why there is
a deficit in the water account. The pres
ent Board has been trying to catch up
with the jobbery and extravaganza of its
predecessor and has not yet entirely sue
readed

DURING the nearly fou years in which
the Republican party had undivided con-
troll of the Water Department, the
collection of water rents was scandalously
hx.
Lax collections were a feature of the
recent Republican rule. Personal taxes
were practically not collected at all. and
real estate was allowed to run into UNI
necessary arrears. Sharp collections, of
course, have a tendency to ALLEVIATE a few
votes from the party in power, and the
Republican party wanted votes badly.
But the laxity of collection in the Water
Department was another legacy left to
the Democratic Commissioners, and it is
causing them infinite trouble and ex-
pense, not only to collect the more han
5000. 600 which had accumulated in the way
of arrears, hut also to educate the con-
sumers up to the idea that the water
rents must be paid.
This is the third reason why there is a
deficit in the water account. 1t is one
wholly of Republican termination and it
is one which the Democratic administra-
ton has untiringly striven to remedy.

CHAPTER VI.

Merriam's intention had been to go direct to San Diego. Leaving the ladies together, after cold and embarrassed acknowledgment of Mrs. McLane's greeting and a most unwilling presenta ton to my wife," he hurried into an other car to be alone and collect his thoughts. 3s was sundown by this time, and only sundown. For hours yet poor Florence might be at the mercy of that merciless woman, who Merriam now believed could be capable of anything. The thought was unbear- able. From the conductor he learned that the McLanes were bound for Coro- nado Beach, and that settled it. Has tily writing a few lines he folded the paper compactly and walked briskly back to the Pullman. Both faces light ed at his coming, Floy's with infinite relief. Fanny's with laughing triumph. Not another moments leave, sir cried the latter, until you've explained where you've been and promised never again to abandon your beloved. Fancy a man who would leave his bride within an hour of their wedding to go and smoke among strangers! Oh, that re minds me, I haven't presented you to Mir. McLane. Will you come with me now?"
 Cold refusal was on his tongue, but 8 sudden thought struck him. Lead on madame-I follow" he said, and as she tripped blithely away down the aislo he quickly turned back. bent, and printing one long kiss on Floy's troubled face, hurriedly whispered: "ReaG this. darling. I'll be with you in ono moment, and then she cannot remain. Then calmly and deliberately he fol lowed. Mrs. McLane had halted at the angle of the narrow passage around the smoking compartment, and was await ing him there. Seeing that, he stopped short at the portiere, in full view o1 Florence had she looked around, anC lowing, motioned her to proceed. Bu she had halted for purpose and meant to have her say. Who was it that de clared that even at the altar, in her wed ding dress, woman could not forgive the rejected lover who had found conso lation elsewhere?
 'You are to be congratula lated on tht elasticity with which you recover iron even severe attacks, Mir. Merriam. You fever was said to be such.''
