Fight the Trusts.

As we will be called upon to elect
members to the General Assembly
within few months, it would be
we'll to ascertain during the enter
ing campaign just what the vie rs Of
legislative candidates are on the
subject OF trusts and the propriety
of enacting laws to check their mo-
nopolizing tendencies. Other States
control these octopus affairs and
Why not ours? Such legislation e
Of more importance to the people Of
this State than the struggles fox po-
li:ical advantages which usually take
up the time Of the average sessions.
Every citizen is interested in sup
pressing the arrogant combinations
known as trusts, but all are not
interested In the candidates aspiring
to ju,lgeships or senatorships.
Let Us require Of legislative can
didates a pledge to leg,slate against
New Jersey trusts il the opportunity
presents itself.
The coming campaign is likely to
be free of the bitter factional strife
such as has disgraced this parish in
the past, and it will be . good time
in which candidates may be placed
on record We don't want any
more Legislators independent Of the
people, and no candidate should
object or be unwilling to express
his views on all public questions.
Let US inquire how our candidates
stand on the question Of trusts and
kindred subjects.--Baton Rouge

A Census of the Church Population.

The Christian AdO0catc publishes
a table of statistics of the churches IN
the United States, prepared by Dr. H.
K. Carroll. The totals for 1898 are
I43,35o ministers, IS7,Ioo churches,
and 26,o5I,o69 communicates. DR..
Carroll calls attention to the great
difficulty of securing anv accurate re-
turns for large number of the COM
munities. Thus there are no accurate
statements with regard TO the Jews.
The returns in the various Lutheran
year books differ so greatly that it is
impracticable to furnish correct or
harmonious statistics.
According to tables giving the order
of the denominations as compared
with their position in 1890, the Ro-
man Catholic church holds the first
rank in each year; next comes the
Methodist Episcopal. The Regular
Baptist South which held the fourth
rank in 1890, have come to the third
place In 1898, changing with the col
ored Baptist, who were in the fourth
place. The Southern Methodist Epis-
copal church continues to hold fifth
rank; the Disciples Of Christ, which
ranked eight in 1898, are now sixth,
and the Northern Baptists. who were
sixth, are now seventh. The North
ern Presbyterian, which held then the
seventh rank, is now eighth; the Pro
testant Episcopal, Congregational and
African Methodist continue to hold
the places nine, ten and eleven.

Street Incident.

"My Dear Sir" exclaimed Lawyer
Bartholomew Livingston, meeting the
Rev. DR.. Archibald Windham on. the
village street, "What does this mean?
l thought you were laid up with all
kinds of bad diseases!"
"And SO l was" replied the rever-
end gentleman, 81 had an attack of
Indigestion and from that time on my
whole system has been in disordered
condition until l began taking Hoods
Sarsaparllla which has put me on my
feet and cured all my stomach
troubles
81 don't doubt it," said the lawyer.
"This same medicine cured my wife
of rheumatism and my little girl OF
scrofula. When they say it is the best
medicine money can buy, they only
tell the truth"
ayes, yes, SO they do" replied the
minister, and the two passed on.

A TRYING MOMENT.
hut the SeIf-POssessed Hostess Was
Equal to the Occa-
sion.

People are telling most remarka-
bic story about famous but somewhat
eccentric woman who was lately Wis
iting the capital, says the Washington
Post. She was invited to q luncheon
and she accepted the invitation. Sew
cral women well worth knowing were
asked to meet her.
When they all came to the table the
famous guest asked for finger bowl.
The maid, too well trained to show sur
prise at anything, brought bowl half
filled with water. The famous woman
drew a small bottle from her pocket
and emptied it's contents into the wa
ter. Then calmly she proceeded to lave
her spoon and fork in the liquid and
wiped them on the damask napkin, ex-
planning the while that for her health's
sake she made it rule never to touch
her lips with silver that had not been
properly sterilized. The bottle con-
tanned antiseptic of some kind-I've
forgotten the name of 1t.
The best part of the story, to my way
of thinking, is what the hostess did.
She did not look upon the proceeding
as any reflection on her housekeeping
methods. She did not stare haughtily
She simply smiled into the agonized
eyes of the woman who. had brought
the famous guest, and said:
What q very excellent idea"

THE SIGN OF RECKONING.
A New Gesture Acquired by United
States Troops Returning from
the War.

Among the troops returning form the
new territories added to the United
States by the Spanish war many have un-
consciously acquired new trick of ges-
ture, says the New York Tribune. Ask
anyone in this part of the world to
beckon to a distant person to come
nearer, and the sign will be made by
extending the arm forward, palm up
ward, three fingers flexed into the palm
and the index finger moved back and
forth. Neither in the new eastern nor
the new western possessions does that
signal mean come here;" as Il matter
of fact it has not that meaning among
the American Indians. The northern
races of Europe are almost the only peo-
pie who employ the sign in that sense,
and with them it may be regarded as
but hand dialect. All over the rest of
the world "come here" is made by ex-
tending the arm rigidly before the
body, palm facing forward and the four
fingers sharply extending and flexed
back into the palm several times.
Every soldier of the armies of occupa-
ton who comes in contact with the
Spaniards and the native races is bound
to acquire the new gesture and to bring
it home with him.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it IS entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

Travelling in Alaska.

l have seen many pictures OF the
manner in which the Eskimos travel,
and the man is generally seated COM
fortably on the sled cracking a whip,
and the dogs are going at smart gal
lop; but we soon found that picture to
be delusion and a snare. Journey
ing in the Arctic regions consists
mostly in pushing behind the sled, for
the poor little animals frequently have
to be helped ever the rough places
and in going up hill or any rise in the
ground. Where there is no beaten
trsil-as was the case most of the dis
tance we traveled-the dogs have
nothing to guide them, and one man
is obliged to run ahead. He generally
runs some distance, and then walks
until the head team comes up with
him, when he runs on again. When
the snow is hard and the road level,
the dogs, with an average load, will
maintain a trot which is too fast for a
man to walk, and not SO fast as he can
run. By alternately running and walk
ing, one does not become greatly fat
igued. Natives who travel from vii
lage to village are so accustomed to
this mode of travel that they can keep
it up all day without showing signs Of
fatigue. .-Harber'S Magasine

And Well it May Ponder"

With the 1000 regular troops now
on the way to Manila there will soon
be available for services under General
Otis about $4,000 Federal soldiers,
exclusive of the volunteers now IN the
Philippines. The latter, numbering
originally anout i 6, 1000, have been re-
duced to between 1900 and $4,000
by the casualties OF war and the in
roads of disease, and will scarcely be
counted upon by the War Department
for further active service. With most
of these volunteers sent home Manila
might still be effectively garrisoned by
the remaining regulars, but offensive
operation after the rainy season would
be out of the question.
The 10000 troops in the West In
dies cannot be spared, nor can the
meagre 1900 left to garrison the
domestic military posts. Manifestly
under such conditions recourse must
be had to a provisional army if the
Federal forces in the Philippines are
TO be strengthened. The organization
of such body Of fresh troops woule
mean another year OF expensive war
fare, with an increased public deb
and an enhance toll of human life al
inevitable results. The Administra
ton ponders gravely over the problem
thus presented, but has found no solu
,ion as yet.-Phlladelphia Ree0rA.

MR.. MCKINLEY AS A SMOKER.
The President Has Been Burning Too Much
Tobacco,

According to writer in the Bos-
ton Globe, President McKinley's trip
to Hot Springs, Va, was taken for
the purpose of getting rid of nicotine.
The writer goes on to say: No man
of prominence in American life since
General Grant has been so industri-
Gus cigar smoker as Mr.. Mckinley.
He smoked all day long, whether he
was disposing of the fate of nations
or recreating himself. The nicotine
at last got on his nerves and began to
bother him.
He used to write with a cigar in
his mouth, one side of his face cooked
up and one eye closed to avoid the
smoke. This trick did not help him.
His hand trembled and his signature
lost its firmness. His skin became
hot and dry, and then ran with cold
sweat. He danced from nervousness.
Sleep deserted him.
At this time cigar was either be-
tween his lips or between his fingers
during s hours out of the "a. He
smoked after breakfast until the lunch
hour arrived. He smoked after lunch
until dinner time, and smoked after
dinner until he prepared for bed.
The President often smoked rs
cigars a day. He was tempted to
further excesses by the fact that his
admirers and fatterers in our new
colonies, knowing him to be a great
smoker, sent him quantities of cigars
1t was to get rid of tobacco nerves
that the President went to Ho1
Springs. His physicians have cu
him down to four cigars dsy-one
after breakfast, one after luncheon
and two after dinner.
