Secretary Wilson'S Idea.
Washington Special in chicago Post.


In Secretary Wilson the superintendent
of the botanical garden has man wholly
to his liking. Both have spent many years
trying to impress upon Congress the ad-
vantages of bringing into this country the
best products of the soil of every other
country in the world and Of encouraging
their cultivation in America. They argue
that by the generous and judicious prosecu-
ton of this policy the people of the United
States will in time he able to raise the best
of everything that grows and produce the
finest plants and the most beautiful flow
ers. The idea is capable of illimitable eX-
pansiOn and elaboration, and more ardent
advocates are not to be found anywhere
than Secretary Wilson and his friend Mr.
Smith Both can pile convincing arguments
and facts mountain high to prove that
money cannot be better spent than in the
introduction Of the choicest products of the
earth into America They hope that some
day the United States may grow every
thing her people have need or desire for,
and that it may no longer be necessary to
send a dollar out of the country for that
sort Of property. Millions are spent annu-
ally by Americans on bulbs plants and
seeds in the Netherlands, Germany, Eng
land France, Belgium and Bermuda

The address before the Local Council Of
Women yesterday afternoon was given by
Mr.. Alexander Johnson, superintendent of
the Home for the Predetermined at Fort
Wayne Mr.. Johnson's subject was 1.-THE
Neglect of the Degenerate" Mr.. johnson
believes the colonization scheme the best
ono that offers to lessen the evil of feeble
mindedness. This scheme would consist OF
a great farm where the feeble-minded would
be gathered and cared for, and where they
would have special treatment Marriages
would be prohibited and in time there would
be a great decrease in this form of mental
weakness. Mr.. Johnson quoted in particu-
lar family Of Predetermined persons in this
city who marry and intermarry until all
descendants are feeble-minded and their
kind is perpetuated. 1t is Mr.. Johnson S
desire that some action shall be taken by
the next Legislature toward carrying out
the colonization process The land for the
farm is already selected, and name THE
Grange" has been chosen. There were re-
ports from several of the federated socie-
ties.

NEW ALBANY, Ind, Nov. Ex-senator
Charles w. Fairbanks addressed The Re
publicans tonight at the Willard Theater.
over 1900 people heard the address, the
audience being by far the largest that has
attended q political meeting in this city
during the present campaign. When Sena-
tor Fairbanks was introduced he was greet
ed with long applause. He spoke for nearly
an hour and half and had most attentive
listeners. He devoted his time almost eX-
cusvely to the acts of President Mckinley
and the Republican administration IN the
recent war with Spain. He referred at
length to the policy of expansion of the Re-
publican party. He favored the retention of
the Philippines and other islands which had
come into possession of che United States.
He was frequently interrupted by applause.
He rebuked the Democratic party for its
charge Of alleged mismanagement of the
war by Mckinley in a convincing manner.
His address was powerful and argumenta-
tive, and had an appreciate effect. The
Republicans are greatly elated over the re-
ception accorded Senator Fairbanks to-
night. He left here for Springfield, o.,
where he speaks tomorrow night.

A Remedy Needed.


c. w. Post in North American Review.
The manager of one of the large metro
politan papers writes: I'VE are losing
money constantly on account of the i'm
mense quantity of stamps we have to take
in payment Of bills, and these must be sold
at a discount. We hope for some solution
of the question which will tend TO do away
with what is now an unmitigated nuisance. -
A magazine publisher writes: Il have just
now been handed a bill for a considerable
amount of money required in payment for
some punctured cards which we send to COR
respondents in which to remit coin" A
prominent manufacturer writes: Il am sat
isfied we fail to sell three-fourths OF those
who would send US money If they could do
so without the trouble Of securing postal
notes." Seeking a remedy, the first and
most prominent point presented Is the need
of some form of money which the averag sc
citizen is likely TO have near at hand. and
which can be instantly transferred from a
negotiable piece into a piece OF exchange
payable only TO the payee, whose name may
be written in ink by the sender. We have
seen that the loss of business under the
present method and the general cause of
complaint are because of the trouble in OBJ
tanning safe money.

ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. 2.-Last night
Hon. Gurley Brewer, the colored orator OF
Indianapolis, spoke in the courtroom in this
city to one of the largest crowds that has
greeted any speaker this campaign. Rev.
e. r. Lewis, of the A. M. E. Church, pre-
sided and introduced the speaker. Scores
of white people and sprinkling of women
were present. He said the highest duty of
the coiored man this year was to support
Mckinley and his administration, and he
trusted that no colored man would vote
against the history that his race had made
by the colored troops at San Juan and Ell
Caney. In closing he warned his colored
brethren to beware of the Democracy that
would endeavor to disfranchise veteran in
the Soldiers Home at Marion as the kind of
party that would disfranchise the negro
in Cuba and Porto Rico.

the troops IN the field had done their duty.
He was there, not to be left to his own de-
vices and afterward sworn at for incOmpe-
tence and stupidity, but to be taught how
to take care of himself and compelled to do
so. Where he fell short there should have
been advance provision for making good
his shortcomings. But from Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg down, there seems to have
been among the great body of officers an
utter contempt of this view of the case.
They gave the volunteer some instructions,
it is true but, in spite of the knowledge of
his weakness which they must certainly
have possessed, they trusted to his obeying
his orders just as the regular does. 1t is not
wonderful that the result was discouraging
The wonder would have been If it had
turned out any other way.

whose Wife.
Edgar saltus. in Golfers Weekly.


The London Telegraph has been asl,ing
whether a wife should work. But matn-
mony itself is no child'S play. Besides, a
woman should content herself with con-
tinuing to be. The moment she ceases to
shlrk every duty in that sphere of life to
which it pIeased God TO call her her charm
becomes SO pernicious that she incites to
bgamy a crime of which the maximum
penalty has been learnedIy summarized as
two mothers-in-law, or at law, in the dis
erection of the judge But let us consult the
authorities. Here, for instance, is Nietzche.
According to him man should be reared for
the vocation of warrior and woman for the

how can she be recreative? And here is DR..
Watts. Satan" he says, finds mischief
for idle hands to do" The conversation of
a lady who lacks the leisure to be mis-
chieVous is bound to be very dull. Then,
too, women who work have not time to
argue with their husbands and when a
woman ceases to quarrel she ceases to love.
In view of all of which it seems to follow
that the less they do the better. But even
otherwise this surprising question has a
very suspicious look. In whose wife is the
Telegraph interested? Is there to be an
other scandal over there?

appalling death that still threatens inno-
cent men. It is slow and lingering death
from consumption. One-sixth of the hu-
man race die from this relentless enemy of
humanity. Probably no subject connected
with health is so important and so little
understood as the conservation of vital
force The human organism is wonderful
machine, and is so constructed that if ex-
haustive draughts are made upon the vital
forces during youth and middle life, the
mechanism responds for the time, but at the
expense of its future usefulness. The man
who overw, or exhausts himself day
after day instantly overdrawiug his
store of 'ce. Finally the rnechan-
ism of su breaks down and the man
becomes ,sical bankrupt. The me-
chanism OF Jupply in man IS his stomach
There the food is transformed into vital
force. If the stomach is weak and the di-
gestion impaired the body ceases to re-
ceive and store up vital force. IF the
dranght is continued, consumption or some
other equally fatal disease is the result.
DR.. Piercc's Golden Medical Discovery is
great producer of vital force. 1t enables
man to daily store up energy to do almost
any amount of work or stand any amount
of exposure It does its work through the
stomach. II makes the weak stomach
strong It facilitates and increases the
flow of digestive juices. 1t promotes and
perfects the assimilation of all the life
giving elements of the food. It is the
great blood maker and fesh-builder.
