The Eminent Kidney

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused BY
h-heart disease. pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs. or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

Congressman Dolliver, of Iowa, is
not only one Of the orators of the
bouse. but he is as shrewd and caus-
tic as he is eloquent. While the cur
rency bill was under discussion be-
fore the holidays he said: "In three
years of Republican administration
S4OO, 100000 have been added to the
volume of the currency-more money
than could have been coined by the
mints in ten years if the mints had
been opened to silver. In other
words, the Republican administration
has done more for the Populists than
they could have done for themselves" ;"
This he followed by recalling the
prophecy of Mr.. BrYan that the gold
standard could not be enacted with
out all universal decline in prices,
and asked: "Now, is there man in
this chamber who will arise i'll his
place aud say that Bryan knew what
he was talking about?" No response
being heard Mr.. Dolliver repeated his
question, to be again answered by
silence, then declared: cit is then
confessed that in a question that goes
to the heart of the controversy Mr..
Bryan lacked wisdom"

II, is sometimes costly to be too
funny. If the papers are to be. be-
licved the remark of President Miller,
of the Hamilton club, Chicago, to
Dick Kerens, Missouri's national
committeeman, that st. Louis was a
suburb of Chicago, cost the city by
the lake the Republican national con-
vcntion. Chicago needed one vote,
and Mr.. Kerens was prepared to cast
that vote for Chicago, but Miller's re-
mark caused him to give it and the
convention to Philadelphia. Such is
the story, and MissoUrians- are not
censuring their committeeman.
Chicago is pretty large, but she isn't
''it," in this instance. Should the in
cident :each her that one should not
call names and ask fayors in the same
breath it will not have been in vain.

POPULAR subscriptions are to be
asked for the purpose of buying a fine
home in Washington for Admiral
Dewey, who is about to leave Manila
for the United States via the Suez
canal. He is to come on the cruiser
Olympia, which was the flagship OF his
squadron when his great victories were
won. Several generals of the army
have received testimonials of popular
esteem similar to that proposed for the
great admiral, but we do not know
that any naval hero has been similarly
honored. The friends and admirers of
General Miles have presented him with
a So, 900 house In Washington. Gem
eral Grant was presented with a man
sion when he returned to the capital,
after Lees surrender. General Sher-
mans admirers gave him a house next
door to General Grants. When Gen
Sheridan assumed command OF the
army, his Chicago friends gave him
the house which is still the Washing
ton home of Mrs. Sheridan. General
Schofield did not get house, other
wise it would be an established rule
that the friends of the commanding
general should present him with q
home in Washington.

THE Democratic party of the west
said that the country must keep OH 60
ing to the Wilson law dogs unless we
cut the American dollar in half. The
Democratic party of the east said that
if the country adopted Dingley tariff
the end of all things would come within
year. Well, we did not clip the dol
lars and We did enact the Dingley law,
and the country is back to the old pros
porous days, with breadwinners at work
and wages going up everywhere. 1t is
condition where facts have killed
theories and their victim, the two
headed Democratic party. The eastern
head shuts its eyes in horror before
Organism. The western head chatters
its teeth at the thought of protection
and open mills and factories. The only
clear issues before the political deform-
ity at present are embalmed beef and

sense to his fellow citizens in the south.
Among other things, he says; "In one

smallest retrograde step would be at
the expense of the prestige we have
won. To return to the starting point
