Army Promotions.

Next Monday General Shafter be-
comes of the age at which he is retired
from the regular army. Already this
year Gen. Stanton and Gen. Flagler
have reached the age limit, making
three of the generals to reach the age
limit in 1899. Gen. Flagler's com
mission was dated in 1891. Except
Gen. Miles, Gen. Greedy and Gen.
breckenridge he holds the oldest com
mission for their present rank of any
general in the regular army. Stanton
was commissioned in 1896; Shafter in
1897 OF the 20 generals on the list at
the beginning of the year 10 had cC,m-
missions les sthan two years old show

holds high position is not long.

one after the other, and retired almost
as soon as promoted, all of them being
close to the age limit This is to be
done that they may leave the army
with the rank of brigader general, a
rank impossible to obtain in any other
manner as in the regular order of pro
motion there are from a half dozen to
40 colonies ahead of these officers.
Burts commission as a colonel dates
1892; Carpenters 1897. Prior to that

the army change rapidly, but the less
important officers, being more numer-
ous, find promotions slow-Pittsburg

Pawnee Bills Wild West
Show.

Major Lille, better known as Paw
nee Bill and his show arrived In the
city yesterday morning and pitched
their tents on the circus grounds on
Greene street
AT noon they give a big street par
ade through the principal streets of
the city and the parade was a big at
traction in itself siamese, Australian
bushmen, Mexican, Indians, cowboys,
lady horseback riders, ETC., took part
in the parade
Two performances we're given. after
noon and evening, and the attendance
at each was very large. The threat
ening weather last evening kept many
away, but did not spoil the perform
ance.
The show is much better now than
when it was here two or three years
ago. The exhibition riding by real
MeXicans, Indians and cowboys, the
expert shooting, the realistic scenes of
wild western life and the many good
specials" are far be,ter than one
could expect to see with twenty-five
cen, show.
Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show is
one of the good shows OF its Kind now
on the road.

Prosperity Of the Farmer and
Workinpman.

., few days ago Senator Jones, chair
man Of the Democratic National COM
mit.ee, in an interview attempted to
minimize the extent fthe prosperity
which has resulted from the Republi-
oan policy of protection and sound
money. He said:
l cannot see that there is any mater
ial prosperity among the agricultural
and similar classes. IT. does not ap-
pear to have appeared to tine farmer,
nor has 1t done much yet for the labor
ing man in general.
We are surprised that a man of Sen
ator JOnes's supposed intelligence
should expose so much Ignorance or
maze so rash an assertion without
some facts upon which to predicate 1t.
1t is obvious that the Democratic
national chairman is not in close touch
with either the worklngman or the
farmer. But then, Jones has just re-
turned from a long trip to Eupore and
too much must not ue expected OF him.

Senator Jones has only to lool
around him and he will quickly learn
that all classes are enjoying the pre-
vaa,ing prosperity and none more Sc
than the farmers ana worklngmen.
Facts and figures are readily obtain
able If such proof is necessary, Judge
Nash has been furnishing them to the
voters of Ohio, not that it is necessary
to prove the prevailing prosperity, for
1t Is fully appreciated by everybody,
but merely to emphasize what has
been done for the country by the wise
administration and sound policy of the
Republican party.
In his speech at London Judge Nash
cited some very pertinent facts con-
cernin gthe improved condition of the
farmers of Madison county. In 1896
as a result of the depression clused by
the Democratic policy OF free trade.
the mortgage indebtedness of Madison
county farms was increased $4,000
and in 1897 it was Increased S177. 900.
In 1898, however, The beneficient ef-
fects of the Republican policy Of pro-
lection and sound money began to
manifest themselves unmistakably and
there was a reduction in the mortgage
Indebtedness of S13S000 This year it
has been reduced $246,OOO Mean
while the value of farm lands in Madl-
son county has increased an average of
81 per acre.
No better evidence CT the prosperity
of the farmers could be produced than
this Prices Of all farm products have
advanced and the demand for them
has greatly increased. The result has
been that the farmers have been able
to make money to pay off the mort
cages which they were compelled to
place on their farms during the period
Of Democratic free trade depression.
Judge Nash has also secured figures
showing that 247 factories in Chic paid
$1,2O2, 900 more in wages during the
month of June, 1899, than during the
same month three years ago. The fac
tory employees are not the only work
ingmen however, who are participant
ing in the benefits of tie revival of
business. The employees of railroads
the miners and all skilled and unskill-
ed laborers find ready employment at
increased wages. One large company
in Columbus is now paying $1.5O per
day for common labor and cannot get
it at that, where three years ago they
could get all the men they wanted at
81 to $1.15 per day.
1t is hardly necessary to dilate on
the prevailing prosperity, however
Anyone who pretends he cannot see
the evidence of it is either blinded by
prejudice or willfully and maliclously
falsities when he attempts to minimize |
it. The people of ONO are just now
enjoying a greater measure of pros |
perity than at any time since before |
the Cleveland free trade adminlstra-
tion, and they will vote for a contin-
uance of prosperity They will not
hazard their opportunities by giving
encouragement to the Democratic
threat of deprecated currency and
return to the Democratic hard times

Bleeding Piles

And all other forms of this common and often dan
gerous disease readily cured without pain or in
convenience.
Thousands Of men and women are afflicted wit,
SOME sort Of piles without either knowing the
exact nature of the trouble or, knowing it, are
careless enough to allow 1t to run Without taking
the simple means offered for radical cure.
The failure OF saiyes and ointments to perma-
nently piles has led many to believe the only
cure to be surgical operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to life, and
moreover not often entirely successful and at this
time are no longer used by the best physicians OF
recommended by them.
The safest and surest way to cure any case OF
piles, whether blind bleeding or protrutting is to
use the Py ramid Pile Cure, composed of healing
vegetable oils, and absolutely free from mineral
poisons and opates. The following letter from
iittsburg gentien,an, sufferer from bleed
ing piles gives some idea of the prompt, enectual
character Of this pile cure He writes:
/ take pleasure writing these few lines toilet
you know that did not sleep for three months
except for a short time each night because of a
bad case Of bleeding piles was down in bed
and the doctors did me no good good brother
told me Of the Pyramid Pile Cure and bought
from my druggist three ffty-cent bottles. They
cured me. and will soon be able to 60 to my work
