Have been troubled for about three years with
what I called bilious attacks coming on regularly
once a week. Was told by different physicians
that It was caused by bad teeth. OF which I had
several, I had the teeth extracted, but the at
tacks continued. I had seen advertisements of
Ripans Tabules in all the papers but had no faith
In them, but about SIX weeks since q friend in
duced me to try them. Have taken but two OF the
small Scent boxes Of the Tabules and have had
no recurrence OF the attacks. Have never given a
Testimonial for anything before. but the great
amount of good which I believe has been done mo
by Ripans Tabules induces me to add mine 20 tho

The records of comparative meteor
ology show that in the United States
there are in year 500 hours more of
sunshine than in fair-skied Italy, and
that Spain gets more than we. But
such general statements hide many par
ticulars. since hardly any two localities
are alike, the atmospheric conditions
being affected by every mountain, val
ley, lake or plain, and coast climates
are modified by the ocean and its cur
rents. In southern California the an
nual rainfall rarely exceeds twelve
inches; at San Francisco it reaches
twenty-five; farther north it increases
till in Oregon and Washington it
amounts to seventy or eighty, and the
inhabitants are jokingly said to be
web-footed.

The total value of the gifts at a re-
cent New York wedding amounted to
over two million dollars, representing
an income of over one hundred thou
sand dollars year. Since custom de-
crees that these gifts be reciprocated
at future weddings in the donors fami-
lies, the pecuniary consideration is
doubled. Marriage laws in Puerto Rico
have recently been reformed by this
government, and the onerous fees
which often prevented a marriage abol-
ished. Is there not room for a reform
in our own marriage customs, when
the gifts at wedding set the pace for
a mode Of life which most young cou-
pies are quite unable to continue with
out financial disaster?

as the sugar beet is to the northwest,
where many millions of dollars have
been invested in its culture. There
Is already one tea farm in South Car

tempt to compete with the cheaper
teas of the Orient but rather with teas
of superior quality. Last year he made
thirty-five hundred pounds of black
tea, which retailed at about one dollar

THE INTEREST OF THE PaRTY.

The interests of the Republican party are served
bv the redemption of its promises, by keeping
L faith with the people, by such department as to
hold 70 if the good will and favorable opinion OF the
State
No man has yet appeared to publicly maintain that
anv of these things can be done by permitting the
nartv TO be used by the Southern PACING Railroad as
an agency to elect Burns to the Senate
II Is brief retrospect to the last campaign. Can
single one of Burns twenty-five supporters IN the
Legislature say truthfully and with confidence that
bc could have been elected if he had frankly declared
BURNS TO be his choice for the Senate? During the
campaign and until the ballots cast, the people
had control of the matter. Why was not the candi-
dacv of Burns announced them when the people
could pass upon it? Compared to such an oppor-
tuny for getting the judgment OF the whole party,
how contemplate are the little schemes now IN action
&c get members of party committees and snap mass
meetings held on private invitation to put up pre-
tense of popular expression!
Barnes frankly submitted himself to the people, as
did Bulla and Grant, with all the unspeakable
errors of his campaign upon him. went before the
people as an open candidate The vote of Bula and
Barnes representing the free choice OF members who
respect the public judgment has been equal to that OF
Burns, and joined to the vote for other men who are
under no suspicion of corruption the free vote OF the
Joint convention has far exceeded the highest vote tor
Burns 1t represents the calm judgment of the party
and if the secret bargains and corrupt alliances tor
Burns which represent the bad faith OF the railroad,
shall finally succeed, this vote which now represents
the partys judgment will next year be found to rep
resent the public judgment against the party Every
where on trains, in business houses, and all places
where the people meet, every day Republicans are
heard to declare that they would not have voted the
party ticket had they known of this Burns conspiracy
and that they will vote it again ii that conspiracy
succeed.

GENESIS OF "cINCH" BILLS.

y INCH bills may properly be designated as
[ the invention of legislative devils. They are
- introduced, not for the purpose OF being
enacted into laws but to alarm the corporations
against which they are directed and to make busl-
ness for corrupt and reckless lobby Every Legis-
lature is afflicted with large numbers OF them Some
"cnch bills are popular, having for their object the
reformation of acknowledged evils or the correction
of acknowledged abuses. 'cinch' bill is effective
in producing blood just in proportion as It IS reason
able and fair When the lobby directs its attention to
something that needs reformation it is very apt to
strike popular chord and obtain for itself the as
sistance of large numbers of we-meaning people 1t
is only when things go along smoothly and there is
no cause for popular outcry that 'cinch bills be-
come poor and poverty stricken.
But there is never any intention to pass clnch. .
bills We do not recall single one OF importance
which has ever been enacted into law. 1t was said
that the Bank Commission act originally deslg-
mated as a ''cinch.' 1t aimed at Ralston and
his stock gambling fellow bankers of San Francisco.
But if it was "cinch" and designed to bleed the
banks it was one of those bills possessing popular
features 10 which we have already referred
There being no intention the part OF the legis-
lative devils to do anything more than brighten in
divduas and corporations into providing money
with which to defeat the cinch bills, it is dangerous
for any sensible person pay the slightest attention
to them In ninety-nine out OF a hundred, If
"cinch' bills are let rum they will die OF their own
corruption Sometimes the newspapers help the
''cnchers by applaudng their bills as reform mea-
sures but this is always done without proper knowl
edge of the purposes of those who introduce and adj
vocate them.
The files of the present Legislature are loaded
down with cinch bills. Where the corporations at
fected have not become alarmed the legislative devils
have appointed committees to investigate and report
information which is intended to work upon the fears
of the stockholders and officers. But where bill is
bald "cnch" neither the newspapers nor the vic
tins should encourage it. To do so is merely to
make money for corrupt and debased lobby.
1t is difficult however to expose the men who con-
coct cinch bills and further their enactment up to
certain point. They cover their tracks pretty ef-
fectually and every stage OF their progress loudly
proclaim their virtue and righteousness. But if no
one put up to defend "cinch" bills, we are sure in
time they would cease to be source of profit to the
lobby or a cause for fear among their victims.
