Deafness cannot be Cnred.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in.
hamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflam-
hearing and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

[Washipgton correspondent.

Ex-senator John Sherman, in an inter-
view at Pittsburg on Tuesday, said of the
Filipino war:
Zone cannot imagine a more destructive
or unfortunate war than the present strug-
gle with the natives of the Philippines
We were wrong from the beginning, and
we should have Withdrawn our forces from
those islands when our war with Spain
was over, as would have been becoming OF
SO great nation as the United States"
As to the ruling of PostmasterGeneral
Smith. excluding pamphlets prepared by
Edward Atkinson from the mails, he said.
That order was an outrage, and an in
Engagement on the rights of American
citizens. There was nothing in the pamph-
let's of an Objectionable nature that would
come under the ordinary postal regula-
tions And there was no good reason why
they should have been excluded from the
mails. An American citizen certainly has
the right to hold whatever views he deems
proper on national questions, and if he
chooses to discuss them and to use the
mails IN sending the matter over the
country, it i, a rather arbitrary ruling
which prevents HIM from doing this, and.
as | have said, an interference with the
prerogatiYe OF American citizenship

Although everybody knew that Senator
Kean, of N. J was a railroad and corpora
ton lawyer, and therefore naturally in
clined to favor trusts of all sorts, he sur
prised many by publicly declaring, while
he was in Washington day or two ago,
that the people of New jersey would not
support any party that condemned trusts,
because the trusts organized under their
State laws paid so much money into their
Treasury. Surely it is time to do some
hard thinking when a Senator publicly
states his belief that his State has been
bought by the trusts-to be exact, Mr.
Kean's words were THE annual revenue
from the tax on the capital of all corpora
tions created under our laws now amounts
to between $4,000 and 100000 You
can readily see that the people who benefit
from this influx of wealth are not apt to
be antagonistic to the corporations that
contribute it.

made to Secretary Ayers making
trusts one of the issues of the senatorial
contest, and as making stock of a letter
from me in which 1 upheld 'judiciOuS
com binations among the industries
Il admit that quite while ago did
write such a letter to one of the sem
atOrS and used such an expression, but
1 did not mean combinations as trust
in the general acceptance of the term.
1 believe a combination of Industries
good thing, which has already been
proved by the fact that wages have
gone up greatly since the combinations
have been formed. The prices ofmaterial
have advanced, and the general condi
ton of the country is much improved.
Through these, the incorporatOrs will
reap large dividends later on.
When I speak of combinations, he
repeated, I don't apply it in the ma
ture of a trust. But 1 don't care to en-
ter upon any controversy now. 1 have
two years yet to serve and later on
will see what I can do

dents friends hope that he will dis
aNoW the onslaught on Foraker ere
the Nash campaign shall be demon
Ex-Secretary Charles Foster has
stated the position very clearly. and
both sides in Ohio believe that he pre-
sented the situation very clearly, in an
interview in Columbus:
1T is just like Kohlsaat," he said.
He has attacked Governor Tanner,
Tom Platt, and other prominent men
without eliciting a reply from them.
1 am sorry that Foraker did not treat
him with the contempt he deserved.
When Mckinley was in financial diff
hculties Kohlsaat took an active part
in relieving him, and since then has
presumed upon the debt of gratitude
owed him by the president in manner
in which no high minded, honorable
man would dream of doing. Against
the protests of the politicians of Illinois
he had his brother appointed Judge, and
no one can doubt that the appointment
was result of the pressure of Kohl
saat on the president. He has insisted
upon other favors from the president
on the same ground and I am sure that
he has gained all, and more than all,
that was due him on account of the
matter of which 1 have spoken.
However he has not hurt Foraker
any Foraker can take care of himself,
and he is doing so. He is stronger
than ever with the people, for this in
cident has given him an opportunity to
make plain the true inwardness of GER
tain affairs that have been dark in the
past"
Mr.. Foster discredited the stories that
have been af1oat in political circles to
the effect that General c. H. Grosvenor
aided and abetted by Senator Hanna,
would try to succeed Foraker in the
senate.
Hanna can not beat Foraker If he is
a candidate for reelection he said.
Mark my prediction. Foraker will be
reelected to the senate with even less
opposition than markd his last election.
He has taken high rank in the senate
and through his magnificent ability has
given Ohio standing among the senators
think that Senator Hanna has any
desire to unseat him. But I do know
that he could not do so if he wished"

A FORTUNE INJEWELS.
Custom Officers Seize Valuable Col
lection in New York.

New York, June 26.-Mounted jewels
valued at $4,000 and lingerie said to
be worth $4,000 were seized by Deputy
Surveyor Daniel F. Bowling upon the
arrival of the American line SaemShip
st. Paul from Cherbourg and South
ampton. Theye were in the possession
of a young and handsome woman who
said she was Mrs. Phyllis E. Dodge, and
that her New York address was 104
West Eighth street. Mrs. Dodge, who
was accompanied by a maid said to
be Julia Gilbert of Gandage, was met on
the arrival of the steamship by a
stylishly gowned woman about 80 years
old and two men. One of the men told
the officers that his name was Smith.
The officers said the name of the other
man was WOrmser, and that he was the
nephew of Isadore Wormser, the banker.
Despite the fact that the seizure was
one of the largest that has been made
here in years, no arrests were made.
When the officers gave Mrs. Dodge
and her permission to leave the pier the
man said by the officers to be Wormser
summoned an electric cab and, accom-
panied by Mrs. Dodge, went up town.
Here is a list of the jewels seized:
One pearl collar. One arrow pearl pin.
One diamond sunburst.
One diamond spray. One turquoise
bracelet. One string pearl necklace.
One diamond chain bracelet. One ring
set with pearls.
Two rings set with pearls and dia-
monds.
One ring set with emeralds and dia-
mOnds.
One diamond and sapphire necklace.
One jeweled book charm.
One jeweled dice charm. One ruby
butterfly. One gold chain and charm.
One diamond catch. One scarf pin, jew
eled. Vest and sleeve buttons.
All of the jewelry was of the finest
workmanship, and the estimate of value
is believed to be conservative. One of
the necklaces, the officers say, may be
worth $20 900.
The lingerie was the finest that cO11Id
be bought, so the officers said and was
of French make.
