Deafness Cannot Re Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when il is en-
tirely 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 in
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

The presence Of the plague in this
city Is commencing to worry the sugar
men. They have an idea that Hawaiian
sugar may be refused at United States
ports If shipped from Honolulu. To
get around this difficulty the new crop
may be shipped from ports outside of
Honolulu. Honolulu being the only in

NEW-YORK IN THE HOT MONTHS.

The advantages of Manhattan Island a
summer resort have been described in alluring
language by many writer's in many publications,
but those advantages are likely to be less ap-
parent and less attractive this year than in pre-
vious seasons. 1t is unfortunately evident that
the managers of certain transportation lines
which in preceding summers have sought dill
gently to improve their service and to provide
the quickest and most convenient handling Of
passengers have fallen off in zeal in this closing
year of the century. That is especially true of
Long Island Visitors to shore resorts who
have crossed the East River many times this
summer have become convinced that there is a
deplorable falling off with regard TO the gener-
osity. energy and resourcefulness of the man.
agement of the troIleys the steam surface roads
and the elevated companies. The schedules for
prompt and agreeable travel between the down
town part of Manhattan Island and the Long
Island beaches have not up to this time been
governed with so much care. thoroughness and
enterprise as in other years. 1t is to be hoped
that steps in advance may be taken at an early
date. Unless better days dawn the hosts Of
people who delight in recreation upon the Long
Island coasts will be more disconnected than
they are at present. and the discomfort is al
ready grave.
New-YOrk as a summer resort, with big fleets
of excursion boats. with swift service to and
from the shores. has many things to commend
1t to the favor of people in other parts of the
country who come TO the verge of the Atlantic
to enjoy their leisure in our hottest months. But
the comforts of the cool winds from the bay.
the pleasures of life in our spacious and luxuri-
Gus hotels will be seriously counterbalanced this
summer because of the tearing up of our streets
on the extensive scale which is now inevitable.
The Metropolitan Company is revolutionizing
fits motive power in Broadway and is overturn-
ing the Third Avenue system. The Rapid
Transit excavations are already under way and
will soon be SO enlarged that many of the finest
thoroughfares the island will be in dire con-
fusion. These things cannot be helped. These
improvements must go on, and there are other
corporations which will devastate the pave
mants, will dig trenches, and will generally con-
vert our avenues and streets into the abomina-
ton of desOlations spoken of by Daniel the
Prophet Repaving for miles is to be under
taken within a short time Altogether the pros
pect is not eXharating for people whose duties
require them TO spend the summer in town, or
for those who come to New-York for diversion.
But when these huge enterprises are completed
New-YOrk will be a much finer city for residence
and entertainment than 1t has ever been before.
The consolation we have is that these great pub
lie works are sorely needed and that the city
will go on to its true place in the world when
these tasks are finished Meanwhile we must
all suffer from the vilest of smells from dust
and dirt, from perils at the crossings, from a
general condition of disorder and unseemlinesS.

TALLY an industrial and commercial nation, and
she wants a market for her manufactured
goods and carrying trade for her ships. Both Of
these she hopes to find in the Far East. Japan
also wants a market in which to buy food for
her teemng millions and in which to sell the
output of her myriad factories. To secure that
market she wants foothold in Corea, but no
considerable part of China. On the contrary,
she wants China to be kept practically intact
though opened fully to the world Realizing
that the leader in the exactly opposite policy is
Russia who would seize and close a great part
of China shut Japan out of COrea and menace
the integrity of Japan herself, Japan is not I'M
naturally inclined TO oppose Russian policies on
general principles.
These are the various interests that will guide
the Powers in their action for the settlement of
the Chinese question. They are in mind, and
they play an important part in influencing the
present progress of affairs. They have operated
to restrain Russia from giving her consent TO
Japanese Intervention. We shall see how much
further they shall maintain the dog-in-the
manger policy. II is not, of course. to be ex-
pected that any Power will act in a manner
contrary to it's own interests. But neither is 1t
to be expected that any Power will permit
itself to be used as Catspaw for promoting
the interests of another.

1t might have to reckon with serious disaf-
lection among people who think corporations
already play too large a part in the control Of
the State government. The Franchise Tax law
was a measure which placed the Republican
party before the small overburdened taxpayers
OF this State as their friend, and that reputa-
ton should be maintained and strengthened by
the nominations of men pledged to the taxation
of franchises at their value and against the
substitution of any scheme of compromise per-
centage contributions to save corporations from
the consequences of their own stock watering
and leave them free to hold franchises ndef-
nitely without operating under them, as they
cannot afford to do if they are to be taxed on
the value Of property they let lie idle.

mort receipts that were far In excess OF both the
preceding week and the corresponding week last
year, but a good reason for strength the
export movement, which showed equally heavy
gains over previous dates.
A loss of five cents in the price of was
rather disastrous to spectators who had bought
heavily, but it meant ample crops for multi
tudes of farmers as copious rains had fallen in
threatened sections. There has been the usual
boom this season in both wheat and corn on
statements of terrible disaster, and each year
the same old story is circulated and for a time
receives confidence. But the usual settling back
to a normal level has followed more encouraging
statements, although both grains are still about
seven cents higher than at this time last year
Some reason for this difference is seen in the
prospect of increased foreign requirements, for
outside of Argentina the movement from other
exporting countries has been curtailed, and In
dia has been importing instead of sending out
wheat as in previous years. Shipments from
the United States for the crop year thus far
show little alteration compared with last year.

cally gratifying. that means exports Of the

In the provision market there has been less than

break in corn, but liberal purchases for the
Army and Navy did much to support prices.
is no inclination to follow disturbances abroad
The advance in the Bank of Engands official
rate of discount was natural in view of the ten
dency to ship gold to Paris. British finances
have been also disturbed by the need Of money
for use in China before expenses in Africa were
adequately arranged. That the United States
will be asked to lend more money in Europe
during coming weeks is extremely probable, and
moderate shipments of gold may be expected,
but the New York market is in position to sup
ply the yellow metal without inconvenience,
especially rs Western cities are in unusually
good financial condition and probably able to
meet all demands for moving crops.
Railway earnings are somewhat lighter than
in June, but still show a gain pre-
ceding years. Greater activity in shipments

something definite instead of the many proba-
oities, although the tendency of railway securi-
ties is upward, and during the last week sixty
stocks averaged gain of 81 cents share, but
sales were light. There were more activity and
strength among the industrials, and. led by
Sugar. the average of forty stocks has risen to
500 30 from S57 81 month ago, when the aver
age was below all records. Notwithstanding
losses at the East, exchanges through clearing
houses outside New-York show little change
compared with last year owing to heavy gains
at the West and South.
