Sherlock Holmes, is a man who reads
clues, as the Indian reads trail. Every
step he takes is step to success.
It's much the same way in the detec-
ton of disease. While the amateur is
laundering along over misleading syInp-
toms, the specialist goes right to the real
cause and puts an arresting hand upon
the disease. 1t is in such a way that
DR.. K. v. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, succeeds in
hunting out and arresting diseases, where
the less experienced practitioners fail.
More than thirty years of special study
and experience have enabled DIR. Pierce
to read symptoms as easily and as truly as
the Indian reads trail which is without
q hint for less acute vision than his.
Any sick person can consult DIR. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge.
Each letter is read in private and an
swered in private. Its contents are held
as sacredly confidential. 1t is answered
with fatherly feeling as well as medical
skill and the reply is sent sealed in a
perfectly plain envelope, that there may
be no third party TO the correspondence.
Thousands have taken the first step to
health by writing to DR.. Pierce. No
writer ever regretted writing. Ninety
eight in every hundred treated have
been positively cured. If you are
afflicted with any old obstinate all
ment write to-day, you will be one day
nearer health. Address DIR. K. ".

manufactures which is unrivaled by that of
any other country, and with vast capital
to exploit the American facilities for SELL
ing to all the world. there is every prospect
that the trade balance will continue to
grow heavily in favor of the United States.
According to the Spectator whose appre-
tensions for the states were noted the other
day. 1t is the ambition of Emperor William
to enable Germany. through the possession
of Brazil. to compete with the United
States az world seller. and he relies upon
the sympathies of the COMMUNICATIONS
to help him to realize this end. That is
queer proposition. in view of the statistics
just cited. 1t amounts to this: The German
emperor is to appeal to the German-Amer-
leans. who constitute very large part of
the commercial foundation upon which
American prosperity is built, to help him
destroy that prosperity by diverting the
world trade from these shores. He is to
use the American citizens of German birth
and descent to undermine their own fabric
of success and promise. 1t is not to be con-
ceived for moment that the intelligent
citizens of this country. whatever their
former or ancestral nationality, are to be
so easily bamboozled. Their interest is to
hold Oil firmly to what they have secured
through hard work and intelligent study.
and not to break down the barriers which
enable them to command the worlds mar
kets. When the time of stress arrives, if it
should come, it may be assumed that there
will be no more ardent defenders of the
Monroe doctrine than these very citizens of
German associations upon whom the kaiser
is said to be reckoning for a flank move
ment in his campaign for empire.

'Tis sad to find these folk who waste
Their hours in angry prattle,
And seek revengefuly to taste
The bitterness Of battle.
To be consistent as a rogue
And crafty ill-humor,
Go where small gossip is In vogue
And start a little rumor
II has a barb that mocks the hand
Which from your breast would pull IT.;
Or, when it strikes. it will expand
Like any dumdum bullet.
Again, 1t has shotgun's way
A refuge?-who shall find it?
1t scatters wondering dismay
And kicks the man behind it.
But mans contempt-'tis sure no cause
For him to be confounded
Why should some slight shock bid him
pause
When others worse are wounded?
Then, why should any risk his life
In shifting or enduring:
When he may iniure, without strife,
Beyond all hope of curing

Firmly and in language which carries a
direct rebuke for the practice of compro-
missing with the cleo frauds, Attorney Cen
cral Griggs has recommended the denial
of a pardon to the men now serving a
term Of Imprisonment for violating the
laws relating to limitations of butter. The
President has Endorsed the recommendation
and denied the pardon and the people have
won another fight in the campaign for
pure food and honest dealings. The de-
ciSion of the Attorney General, published
in full in today's Star, is a complete vindi-
cation of every utterance of this paper in
its efforts to protect the people from the
fraud. 1t shows not only that the man
under sentence is a persistent viOlator of
the laws. but that he is on record as con-
Tossing to wrong-dOing in this line and
pleading for chance to reform. 1t shows.
too. that the violations of the law have
been widespread and that the practice OF
accepting compromise payments IN lieu OF
punishment did not stH2 the frauds. as
amply indicated by the records quoted by
General Griggs in the case of the petit
TONER for pardon. One such case ap-
pealS particularly to the observer. Wilkins
offered a large sum to compromise on an
indictment which had been brought against
him in this city. thereby confessing his
guilt. The Treasury Department was in
clined to accept the offer. but The Star
strenuously objected and finally secured
from the Department of Justice en-
phatic an opinion as to the improperly of
such course that the offer was eventually
denied. The accused was then placed on
trial here and acquitted by methods which
have never satisfactorily appealed to the
public The next day after this acquittal,
Of virtual confession by the offer to COM
promise the same individual. with one
other, was discovered in the act of strip
ping labels from oleo packages in Phila
delphia in direct violation of the law and
unquestionably in preparation for further
frauds. Fortunately the case was finally
brought to trial and conviction resulted,
and now the law Is to take its course The
Attorney Generals decision practically con-
dennis the policy of compromising with
crime II has been proved by this case
that conviction can be had and that there
i no force in the argument that it is bet
ter to mulct the viOlators of the law when
possible through their offer than for
the government to 90 To the expense of a
futile prosecution. Prosecutions need not
be futile if they are thoroughly conducted
Conclusive evidence of these frauds can be
readily obtained. 1t is to he hoped that this
turn in the Wilkins case will stimulate the
governments agents nd officers in all sec
tons TO exert their utmost efforts to enforce
the law. ana that the Treasury Department
Will abandon ills practice Of fostering the
frauds through its policy of compromise
The President and his chief legal advisor
nave earned the sincere thanks of not only
this community, which has suffered soreIy
from these frauds. but Of the people of all
cities and of the dairymen Of the country.

DiscOrd in MARYLAND,

When victory was announced in Mary
land last November the Maryland Demo-
cratic Association teIcgraphed congratulate
ti"nS to Mr.. Bryan, and in return received
from him al expression OF pleasure at the
result. Mr.. German is not a member of the
association. and hence did not participate
In this little ceremony over the wire.
Neither did he communicate with Mr.
Bryan on his own account. But. for all
that. Mr.. Bryan was assured by presume
ably competent authority. that the victory
Was democratic victory. and that there
was reason for democrats to be thankful.
Without too close an inspection of mat
ters Mr.. Bryan permitted himself to feel
thankful The months returns from the
polls offered him little in the way of good
cheer Mississippi had. of course. gone
democratic. Nebraska. still faithful, had
stood by him. But Ohio. Iowa. Kentucky
Pennsylvania. New York. Massachusetts,
where was there a particle of comfort in
the returns from any of those states? And
so. when this message came from Mary
land. that the democracy had come into it's
own again in that state, Mr.. Bryan. forget
ting the supremacy of Mr.. German in his
party AT home, and what that meant. paid
without hesitation telegraph tolls on a short
message of jubilatiOn.
Pleasant relations having been. established
thus between Mr.. Bryan and the Maryland
democratic Association, it was natural and
entirely proper that when Mr.. Bryan's
eastern trip was announced the organiza-
ton should invite the partyS leader to visit
the state and for Mr.. Bryan to accept the
invitation. Entirely proper also was the
resolution offered by u silver member of
the house Of delegates inviting Mr.. Bryan

FROM the Plttsburg COMMEMORATE Gazette.
The wearisome debate on the Philippine
question was continued in the Senate yes
terday without an interesting feature,
What good is it doing and where is it to
END? These are pertinent questions which
the country will soon be asking of the
senators unless they pause long enough
in their oratorical craze to ask them them
selves and be guided by the obvious answer
If talk is profitless, why keep talking :?
1t will convince nobody that the admins
tration is always wrong and its opponents
always right whatever the latter may think
or say. The "antis' " oratory can have no
effect at home. and Is altogether useless, but
not altogether harmless, for it cheers the
Luzon rebels. They cannot expect their
speeches will have the effect of causing the
recall of the troops from the Philippines,
until the war is ended, and just what they
do expect to accomplish is certainly not
clear to others and probably not to them
selves If they are talking for self-glorifica-
ton or partisan ends they surely deserve
all the opprobrium which they are heaping
upon themselves, and more.

While the matter OF providing vestibules
for the motormen of Washington is under
consideration, with the view of giving those
men less fresh air in bitter weather, some
thought might perhaps be turned toward
the comfort and health of passengers, who
suffer seriously at times from a lack of
this very element Of air. A few trips on
the local street railways will show how
little attention is paid by the railway Off
Gals and employees to the Item of ventf-
lating the cars. The transoms In the roof
are seldom opened. At this season of the
year. of course. windows are kept tightly
shut and it is rare to find the front doors
opened even momentarily, owing to the
rule requiring the motorman's platform to
be inclosed by gates. When forty or fifty
persons, or more at times, occupy a single
car as is often the case during the hours
OF heavy travel the atmosphere becomes
vitiated and foul to an alarming degree
until even strong men are affected by it.
The evil is accumulated in those cars which
are equipped with electric heaters. the use
of which does not seem to have been care
fully studied yet by the conductors. In
consequence cars are either too cold or too
hot in nine cases out of ten. while 1t is
the rarest OF exceptions to find a conductor
who. when he can spare the time from his
trying duties, thinks or the ysntilators to
relieve the overpowering pressure of the
atmosphere. The laws of health condemn
such close occupation without the freest
ventilation. and it would be a proper line
of investigation by the health officer to
determine how far the health Of the pub
lie is being menaced by this feature of the
railway management regulation adopted
by the railway companies and strictly en-
forced. requiring that a certain number
OF the ventilators In each car be kept al
ways open and making 1t part of the duty
of the motorman- or the conductor to see
that this is observed. would avoid much If
not all Of the trouble. 1t is perhaps the
knowledge of the foul state of the atmos-
phere in the closed cars which drives ,nany
people to seek the perlous pleasure OF rid

The Worlds PuryeyOr.

Interesting and instructive statistics of
the growth Of American foreign commerce
during the past thirty years are given in an
article printed in today's news columns
bearing SUCCESSFULLY upon the London
Spectators recent assertion that Germany
has designs upon Brazil in order to rival
the United States as world purveyor
These figures show tkat during the thirty
years since 1863 our imports have doubled
while the exports have quadrupled In all
but six Of those thirty years-fiye of the
Blk being at the beginning of the period-the
exports have materially exceeded the i'm
ports. proving this to be a selling rather
than a buying nation. The excess in the
year 1879 was equal to nearly thirty eight
Per cent Of the total exports the imports
being only about sixty-two per cent as
large as the exports. The chief point of
interest is that this discrepancy between
the imports ard the exports has for a long
period been continuously progressive until
now. With a wider field open than ever be-
fore. with a prestige for the excellence of
