Gates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it
is evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to drinate or pain in
the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy fulfills every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it.,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for it's wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need medi-
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have sample

CRIMINAL DELAY.

1t is becoming more evident day by
day that Senator Porctor's report on
the condition of the reconcent rados
of Cuba is to be made an excuse for
action on the part of the administers
ton.
Senator Proctor gave no new light
on the subject. What he said has
been said over and over again in the
correspondence published by the anti
republican press. The administers
ton newspapers have systematically
refused to print the facts, and have
abused the independent journals that
would not allow themselves to be
made tools of by the tock-jobbing
money grabbers who own the repub-
lican party.
But at last it dswned upon the
minds of the fat witted republican
politicians at Washington that the
people were aroused, were cognizant
OF the cruel facts and could not be
held in check much longer. Then
Senator Proctor was sent to Cuba. 1t
would never do for the administra-
ton to admit that the independent
press was right, therefore report
must be made by afriend of the presi-
dent. Senator Proctor introduced his
report apropos OF nothing. 1t was
dragged in like the speech of an actor
who has missed his cue. But it served
the purpose of the administration,
and, If it leads to action the people
will find no fault.
Late in the day-indeed, quite too
late to save serious complications
have come Senator Proctor's "reve.
lations." A year ago Mckinley could
have interviewed with dignity and
without serious danger of conflict

PARENTS RESPONSIBLE.

A young girl of fifteen was shot and
killed by her fellow at Cedar Rapids
on Sunday, the details of which will
be found elsewhere. 1t was common
enough tragedy, being duplicated
somewhere in this progressive coun-
try of ours every day. Such things
ought not to be. The parents of such
girls are wholly responsible. These
little fools should no more be allowed
to run around nights with a fellow,
than lambs should be left unguarded
at night for the wolves to get. What
does little half developed woman
this girl If 15-want with fellow
anyhow? You see them every day,
every where, by day, by night, run
ming around stepped in love sickness
before the last tuck in their dress is
let down, and we let them run and
CAD around and pick up the first
worthless stick of man they run
across, to be married, divorced, de-
serted, or to fight a woman's hopeless
battle with maternity and poverty,
or to be betrayed, deserted, or 10 he
killed as was this girl at Cedar Rapids
or that one at New Hampton. Ye
Gods, what horrible mess it all is!
Better far the old world espionage of

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
STRUCK BACK.

The Providence, Or. u Board of
Trade sent a circular letter to each
Senator and Representative in which
an attempt was made to use the de-
struction of the Maine and the proba-
bility of war with Spain as an argu-
ment for the gold legislation asked
for by the Indianapolis bankers con-
vention. Representative Freeman
Knowles, of South Dakota, who is
serving his first term in the House, is
SO far as known the only man in Con.
gress who has answered this extra
ordinary circular letter, but the an
swer of Mr.. Knowles is very warm
document, as may be judged from the
following quotations therefrom:
II can find no language to express
my abhorrence of men who will seek
to take advantage of the patriotism
of the people to force financial sys-
tenn upon them which means their
enslavement.
You are the same class as those
who took advantage of the peoples
patriotism in 1906, to fasten upon
the toiling masses system of bond
age by which you have absorbed the
entire product of labor since the
war.
This class would not hesitate to
sell our country for gold, and
would welcome to our shores
foreign armies and navies,
rather than lose the interest on their
bonds. This is the same class which
is now trying to fasten upon the strug-
Cling patriots of Cuba the $4OO, OOO,-
600 of bonds which the European
Shylocks have taken from Spain, in
return for the money they have loan
ed that nation with which to butcher
the Cubans.
You talk about going to war upon
gold basis. If you are not even
more ignorant than unjust, you would
know that no nation ever conducted
war upon gold basis. At the very
first scent of danger gold always
hunts it's cowardly hole. Men who
take advantage of the present deli
cate and strained foreign relations of
their country to foist a robber finan-
clal system upon the people are, in
my Judgment, greater traitors to
humanity than was Judas Iscariot or
Benedict Arnold"

There used to be a HYMN based on .

There used to be hymn, based on
story, the gist of which was: "There'a
light in the window for thee, broth.
er!' A newspaper paragraph recently
told OF the death at West Springfield.
at the age of 80, of Miss Lucinda Day.
Seventy years ago she had lover who
went to sea and was never after heard
from. She had promised to place every
night candle in the window to greet
him when he returned. and The story is
that she never gave him up. but that the
candle burned nightly for all those 70
years There must be many middle
aged persons who remember the HYMN
and will wonder whether Miss DAVIS
candle was the basis of it. 1t is re-
corded that the faithful lady's sister ia
the widow of Israel Bliss, for 40 wears n
missionary in Turkey, and that seems
to make the connection between the
sandle and the hymn more probable.

To Investigate Government by
Injunction,


The Senate has adopted resolu.
tion calling upon the Attorney gen
eral to inform the Senate how many
writs of injunction were granted dur
ing 1S97-9S by the U. s. courts, against
labor organizations, and to furnish it
with certified copies of such writs,
the affidavirs upon which application
for them were made, and of other
papers connected with them.
When the returns are all before the
Senate the necessity for the plank in
the Chicago platform denouncing
government by injunction will be
very apparent.

Paying taxes on the installment plan
Is one of the happy thoughts Of a
municipal philosopher, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Why not pay them
that way? There is nothing particu-
larly sacred about the period of one
round year that would make it neces-
sary to tax by that period rather than
by any other. Thrifty people might
prefer to pay by the year, but few peo-
pie are thrifty. Some men prefer to
pay their house rent by the year, but
that Is not the rule There is no abso-
Lutte reason why taxes should 20 by the
year either. Furthermore, if taxes
came into the treasury by the month,
1t is doubtful if SO many wasteful ex-
penditures would be made by municipal
governments. The large figures in an
nual budgets tempt to large appropria-
tons. This municipal philosopher
may have hit on great idea. More
taxes raised with less grumbling and
with narrower appropriations would be
q wonderful boon.
