The Trust Representative.

Attorney General Griggs doesn't
seem to be doing much in the depart
ment of justice. When he was called
to the cabinet there was great
spread about it. 1t was ostentatious-
ly proclaimed that there would be
great lawyer in the presidents coun-
Gil, and that there would be gen
eral upheaval in brains and righteous
ness. Griggs has, though, "simmered
down. to mere perfunctory depart
ment head. Mr.. Root was appointed
secretary of war with the avowed pur-
pose to get a man who had the legal
talent to devise ways of running our
"new possessions"
The only excuse for keeping Mr..
Griggs seems to be to satisfy the
trusts, which have their best inspira-
ton from the state from which the
attorney general halls. The dismissal
of Mr. Griggs would be IN affront to
the combinations and syndicates.
Even his resignation would not be toll
Grated. His retention is one of the
staring evidences that the Mckinley
administration is going into the presl-
Dental campaign of this year as the
friend of trusts-Cincinnati Enquirer.

The hardest blow the Hanna

IL a land Of catarrh.
Nearly everybody has catarrh. This
is more especially true smong the mid
die and lower classes. Exposure to the
climate, hard work, and unventilated
sleeping rooms are the'principal causes.
Charitable institutions have found, by
bitter experience, that catarrhal diseases
not only are the most numerous OF al
other diseases put together, but they are
the hardest to cure.
Peruna is q specific for this class OF
diseases. No other remedy can take its
place. Thousands of cases Of chronic
catarrh are cured by the use of simply a
bottle. People who have spent large
sums to be cured of catarrh, have turned
to Peruna as a last resort, and been cured
by the use of single bottle.
Thus it is that charitable and bensvo-
lent enterprises ind great satisfaction
in dispensing this remedy. tits cheap,

a body Numbering now 300 to the music

was rendered: 1.-The Star-Spangled Ban

song, The Flag of Our Union Forever
Then President Murdaugh gave his
tory and description 0f the beautiful
monument in Washington City erected to
the Father of our Country. President
Murdaugh was present at the dedication
of the monument February p, 1886, and
wildly described the scenes and incidents
of the day Hhe then launched out into
a presentation and discussion Of WASH
ington. the great exemplar of all there IS
good and great for Americans. The most
striking point Of his address was, per
haps. his argument that Washington bet
ter than any other man ever born exem-
plifed Cicero's remark: ''To be truly
great, man must also be good" Presi-
dent Murdaugh spoke with vivid rhetoric,
forcible and graceful earnest manner,
and splendid voice, fairly enchanting the
attention Of all present Washington the
man. not Washington the warrior, the
statesman, or the ruler, was the main
thought. The address closed with a splen-
did appostrophe, after which the large
audience standing sang America and
school was dismissed for the day.
The work at the territorial normal is
progressing smoothly and tremendously,
with steadily increasing results, the stu
dent body now embracing 800 loyal and
enthusiastic young men and women,
whereas, during the whole Of last year
the attendance did not exceed $50. Dur
ing the hot months Of last July and
August President Murdaugh made sixty

est Of the normal school, and the atten-
dance could as easily have been 400 in
stead Of 300, but for the limitations in
