HE WAS RETRIEVED.
Mr.. Harley Feels Very Grateful That
He Was Saved When on the
Brink Of the Grave.

In France a man sentenced to death IS
not told in advance on what day he Is
20 die. The first Information he gets IS
from the officers who prepare him for
the guillotine. Between sentence and
execution the prisoners life is full Of ter
rors. for any football outside his cell may
herald the messenger OF death.
So free and honest men suffer agonies
Of imagination when they learn that they
have diseased kidneys. They may live
for years. They may die before anothtr
sunset. Kidney trouble Is more deadly
than consumption u neglected or improp-
crly treated. II Is great mercy that
one sure remedy exists.
Herbert Harley. dealer in shoes at
Twentieth and Pine streets philadelphia,
SAYS
Il suffered for years with chronic kid
ney trouble and tried many remedies and
doctors. About a. year ago / could not
attend to business and my family was
much alarmed. My back was so lame
could not stand erect / had high fever
and night sweats. and the pain in my
back made II impossible 10 secure d
good nights rest
"The doctor said had too much acid
in my blood, which caused neuralgia con-
ditions. II makes man pretty blue 20

The doctor was right. Mr. Hariey's
blood was charged with uric acid. a
malignant poison. When the kidneys
are sound they draw it from tho blood.
When they are unsound the acid remains.

III BREEDS CORRUPTION.

! il is contended by those who oppose
electng senators in Congress by popu-
lar vote that it is a reflection on the
| people to say that they will elect Legis-
Iators who can be bribed BE that as it
may, candidates do not hesitate to offer
/ their brides and the bribe-giver generally
knows his man. Moreover the bribe-
giver is very shrewd and very dipl0-
matte person. lie can put the case so
! deHcately as sometimes TO make the man
Of easy conscience feel that it is perfectly
right for him TO receive a "considera-
ton" for his valuable service.
We have already mentioned the fact
that in the Legislature Of Montana a
member displayed $4,000, which he said
had been provided to secure the election
Of a certain candidate Tor senator: and
again that in the California Legislature
the speaker OF the House made no secret
of il that he had received $1,000, with the
understanding that lie would support
Grant Cor the Senate.
Now the news comes from West Yir-
ginia that the Republican Senate is vieing
with the Democratic House as to which
can turn out more members so that this
side or that may select the senator in
Congress.
In every close contest there is a dead
lock or scandal usually both. We are
graufed to see that the Baltimore Sun
is now in favor OF the proposed change
Of method The sun says.
Hardly year passes in which there is
not q diseracefui scandal over the cleo
ton OF United States senators. and shady
methods viii probably be employed as
long as the present system OF electing
senators Is retained. Ordinarily legisla- |
tors are more secretiVe about their trans |
actions than the statesmen in California |
and Montana. When men admit openly |
mat their votes have been purchased or |
bid for and no EFFORT Is made 10 punish |
them 10 would seem that the public is /
growing callous and is no longer offended |

quite so. The stream Is not purer than
.ts source. This method Of choosing SEN
ltors breeds corruption, and 1t should be
abolished.

| Of the Manufacturers Record writes
| from Roanoke as follows:
"The men at the head Of this movement
arc men OF indomitable energy as well as
| Of ample means The price at which they
can now secure these plants. the fact
that they own large coal mines and make
| their own coke. and the quantity and
| quality OF the ores within easy reach OF
| the furnaces assure the success OF the
enterprise and give promise Of a great
! development IN all this section OF the
| state I'm the near future. And not only in
the iron industry is this true. but the
| mineral resources Of this section are now
attracting more attention than ever be-
fore, The purchasers enjoin for the
present absolute secrecy until they think
proper 10 make the matter public. II Is
believed that Pennsylvania capital Is IN
torestod with Virginia capital In the
deal. The Grocer furnace here. the Sa-
lem furnace. and q Is said tho Buena
Vista and Bristol furnaces have all been
secured 1t is believed that the two fur
naces at Pulaski. the one at Ivanhoe.
the one ut Graham. and probably the
one al Shenandoah win be included in
the deal Agents for tho syndicate are
taking leases on all the good iron ore
properties they can find convenient 10
transportation. II is probable that the
deal will be consummated within thirty
days or less Evidently we are on the
eTc a tho greatest prosperity the South
has ever known"
And so the prediction which The Times
made not quite six months ago Is rap
idly coming to pass. There is. indeed. a
bright prospect for that section Of Vir-
ginia. and what affects one section Of
this state indirectly affects the whole
State. Property values will be enhanced
and the State will get a larger revenue |
from that section Money put into cir !
culation there will find its way to all |
other sections Of the State. 10 say no
thing OF the employment that Will be
given to labor and of the opportunity |
that will be offered to Virginia capitalists
to make remunerative investments.
Where the raw material is, there will
the factories which use 1t oe Where pig
iron is produced, there will be industries
thae use iron in making their wares.
The Birmingham district IS now a great
ron-making centre, and hence large
number Of iron-working industries have
sprung up about the furnaces as a nu-
cleus.
IL must he so also in Virginia. We
have the iron ore in inexhaustibls sup
ply and we have the finest steam and
coking coal in the world. We can pro-
duce iron cheaper than Il can be pro-
duced I'm Pennsylvania. and with such
an abundance OF the raw materials, other
and incidental industries must follow as
A corollary. This means large forces of
well paid laborers. a demand Cor all sorts
Of supplies and a great activity gem
orally in business.
Moreover. the boom in iron in Alabama
and Virginia will help the railroads Of
the South. Their earnings are increas-
Ing and will continue to increase. and
their securities are enhancing in value all
The time. Railroads are the greatst fac
tors in our industrial growth. As we
prosper they prosper; as they prosper
he country prospers.
