colleges Of the country. The Head Master Harvard
graduate has taught at Harvard and also in public
and private schools, and has studied the educational
problems presented both by the schools of this coun
try and by those of Europe The broad school policy

of practical experience with that of the highest ed

years has been member of the Yale Faculty
The other members of the School Faculty are
also experienced teachers and each is specialist in
his particular line of work. The fact that these men

HARMONY NOT HOPELESS.

From the Evening Journal OF Yesterday.
Democrats aud others who are fearful
lest tue thermometers of the Republican
party may succeed in effecting union
of the factions of the party are urging a
sort OF mass convention of Republicans
for the ostensible purpose of evolving a
basis OF union. These are finding some
support among Republicans who really
desire union, and regard the scheme as
promising happy results. The plan is
advocated also by some OF the implac-
ables who see danger to their own plans
in union and would prefer three factions
to one, although they prefer two factions
to three.
III the judgment Of the Evening Jour-
ma there should be no such effort until
every effort possible by the two existing
organizations has been tried frutlessly.
Such convention would be too easily
packed, and only grief can result from q
convention packed for the purpose OF
producing g'ief.

the uhion Republican organization las

is tie party and patriotic duty OF each

The OLD Methods OF Treating Piles and
RecteI Diseases SuppIanted by
the Pyramid Pile Cure.

The old method OF treating piles by
ligaure by the knife or by the cruel
methods of diIitation, besides causing in
tense pain and frequently collapse and
death are now known to be but mere
InaReshifts as far as a cure IS concerned.
The liver is responsible for nearly every
case of piles and the mistake has been
made of treating piles as a purely local
disease. Such Is not the case, however.
and the success of the new treatment
known as the Pyramid Pile Cure has
demonstrated IT,
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not salve or
ointment but q suppository which is ap-
piled at night and absorbed into the SEN
sitive rectal membrane and acts both as
a local and constitutional treatment. and
in cases Of many years standing this
treatment has been enectuaL
Thousands Of pile sufferers bear witness
10 the inesdmable value Of the Pyramid
and even those who have undergone sur
gical operations without a cure have been
happily surprised by results from a few
weeks treatment with the Pyramid
The relief from pain is so immediate that
patients sometimes imagine that the
Pyramid contains opiates or cocaine be-
cause the relief is 50 instantaneous. but
the Pyramid Pile Cure is guaranteed
absolutely free from any opia,e or min
era poison whatever.
The relief IS the result of the astringent
prop rifles OF yhe remedy which causes

scientific both in its composition and in
its therapeutic action and the best fes-
tnre ~ 81 IS thaJ il IS perfectly safe and

A singular fact IN view Of The large

and many of them are we'll educated and
industrious. Another serious question
was the granting of monopolies by the
government, like the manufacture Of dy-
Mantle, which necessarily worked a hard
ship on the miners.
THE courts in the Transvaal are but
puppets ruled by the government. Even
the supreme court amounts to nothing
If the supreme court makes a decision not
liked 10y the Volksraad, it can be re-
voked by a simple resolution. Thus the
pets of the government have unlimited
power at their back and are amenable
to nothing. The majority Of the burgh-
ers, especially those living in the coun-
try. are fanatical in their support of the
government, and the power of Kruger in
the country is absolute.
England will win because she IS in the
right and IS standing up for all Uitland-
ers, no matter what their nationality. 1t
is possible that Kruger will carry out
his threat to destroy johannesburg with
fire and dynamite, but he cannot more
than destroy the machinery of the mines;
the gold will still remain. The Transvaal
Rhodesia, in fact all South Africa will
some day be the greatest mining district
in the world and wonderful advancement
will be made as soon as the country
comes under British rule, which will not
be long now"

cleared over $500 on the deal.
