on our part that we take as many of

the understanding that we will see to
it that residents of eastern and mid

information by US.
Please send a copy of this letter to

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

This remedy is intended especially
for coughs, colds, Group, whooping
and influenza. 1t has become famous
for its cures of these diseases, over a
large part of the civilized world.
The most flattering testimonials have
been received, giving accounts of its
gOod works; of the aggravating and
persistent coughs it has cured; of
severe colds that have yielded promptly
to its soothing effects, and of The
dangerous attacks of Group it has
cured, often saving the life of the
child. The extensive use of it for
whoOping cough has shown that it
robs that disease of dangerous con-
sequences. 1t is especially priced by
mothers for their children, as it
never fails to effect a speedy cure,
and because they have found that
there is not the least danger in giving
it, even to babies, as it contains
nothing injurious. Sold by all
druggists.

TOO much to accept it. We leave the
matter for Republican papers.
The enormity Of the undertaking
oil these DhilanthrOpical educators is
quite striking. There are in the
United States according to Ayers
Newspaper Annual for 1897, 2O.957
newspapers and periodicals. 1t would
be a safe estimate to say that $4,000
of these would be of the class which
would use stereotype plates or supple
ments. They promise to furnish a
page to all who want it every three
weeks. A page Of plates containing
special matter such as is proposed can
not be had from the plate house for
less than $3.50. The proposition of
these gentlemen would therefore in
voive a possible expense of $4,000
every three weeks or 1859 900 per year.
A mammoth enterprise to be based
solely on patriotism and philanthropy!

The "Anti-Scalping bill" in con-
gTess is being widely endorsed. Some
way ought to be found to get rid of
these middle fellows" who prey upon
the people as much as on the railroads.
The bill contemplates the abolition
of traffic by irresponsible and un-
authorized persons, in railroad and
steamship tickets, and confines such
transactions to the duly constituted
agents of the transportation COM
panies, and Obligates all common
carriers to promptly and equitably
redeem passage tickets when for any
reason unused in whole or part.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission in its annual reports to con-
greSs has again and again reviewed
the evils of ticket scalping and un-
lformly urged upon congress the ex-
pediency and justice to the travelling
public and the railways, of such
amendments to the Interstate Com
merce Act as would abolish the prac-
tice and limit sales of passage tickets
to responsible and properly authorized
channels.
As rule, the ticket scalper, in his
province of a Self-cOnStituted agent.
Is unable, were he so disposed, to
discriminate touching the legitimacy
or regularity of tickets rendered and
purchased in the course ofhis transac.
tiOns. 1t therefore follows that his
Office creates convenient market for
LOST, stolen or fraudulent tickets, and,
likewise, an incentive and temptation
TO railway employees to, through the
medium Of the ticket broker, defraud
the companies whom they serve.
This feature of the business of the
ticket scalper being self.evident,
should condemn his transactions from
a moral standpoint.
Inc business OF the ticket Scalper
does not appear to, in any essential
way, serve the economy. convenience
or welfare of the travelling public;
conversely, the unfair and unlawful
manipulation of excursion tickets to
which he necessarily resorts to obtain
a profit from the business, cOmpels
the railways to surround such forms
of transportation with restrictive
conditions initiating against con-
venlent and economical use by legiti-
mate purchasers, and not infreQuentIy
the ticket scalper's methods compel
the railways, in reasonable protection
of their interests, to decline meri-
tOrious applications for excursion
fares, particularly When such con.
cessions involve important commercial
centers or movements of large bodies
of people.
The moral influence of the ticket
scalper's avOcation is deplorable from
whatever point of view X may be con,
sidered, and in the interest Of public
morals and fair dealings, the law
abiding, thinking people of the
country should raise their voice and
influence in the direction of securing
enactment Of the measures now under
consideration by congress.
