worked like magic and one dose fixed

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Since the re-
cent announcement of the new policy
OF the interior department discounten-
ancing wild Indian exhibitions the de-
partment has been deluged with both
written and oral Inquiries. Colonel
w. f. Cody has protested that the ac-
tion will nearly ruin his business. He
sent report here which urged Com
missioner of Indian Affairs Jones TO
make an exception in his case. Mr..
Jones said there would be no change
in the departments policy, and that
he was convinced the exhibitions have
a demoralizing tendency and retard
Indian progress.

The Way it Affects the Wage
Farmer.

The men with dinner huokcrs,
who are the professed objects of
Mr., MoKinley's tender solicitude,
and in whose behalf he advocates
the policy of protection, help to
pay the enormous profits enjoyed
by the producers of tin plate,
amounting in some instances, to
100 per cent. Thus the contribu-
tions to the Republican campaign
fund are swelled by the wage-earn-
ers, who are compelled to pay more
than is just for everything they use
for the benefit, as Mr.. Mckinley
puts it, of American labor.-Kansas

story OF a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form OF slavery. Georle d. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has heen SO helpless for five. years
that she could not turn over i'll bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
trio Bitters. she is wonderfully improv-
ed and able to do her own work" This
supreme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleepless-
ness, melancholy, headache. backache,
fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle
working medicine isa godsend tn weak,
sickly, run down people. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only so cents. Sold by G.

Oneprolific source of controversy
at the close of 1899, is, will Great
I Britain in its war with the South
African Republics, solve the silver
question, and prove that it is and
of necessity must be co-equal with
gold in the every day transactions
of the business of the world, or will
the advocates of a single gold stand
ard be able to prove that silver is
not a potent factor and can be dis
pensed with,
1t is long established and we'll
known fact that England is the
head center of the gold market of
the world, and it is also becoming
we'll known fact that since the
war with the Beers was inaugur-
ated, her exchange has become
more and more contracted, while
the rate of interest has steadily in
creased until it now reaches Z pr
cent
Not long since report got in
circulation that the U. S. Treasury
was about to loan the Bank of Eng
land several hundred millions of
dollars of gold from it's vaults, and
it came near creating revolution
in all the money centers of the
world. Our own Wall street, with
London, Paris and Berlin under
went furore of excitement, and a
serious money panic was narrowly
averted, and matters only quieted
down after the authorities at Wash
ington had issued an emphatic de-
nial of any such move being in con-
temptation.
We are not possessed of any
wealth except what we get by labor,
yet the present stringency of the
money market, the increased call
for more men and material to con-
duct the war against the Beers, on
the part of England, to success
full issue, causes this question to
agitate our mind, although we do
not feel equal to solving the prob
lem satisfactorily to ourselves, and
therefore shall not attempt to in
fuence our readers or the general
public; but Judging from our linn
tied knowledge ard what we have
seen our own Government do in
the past, we believe that the best
and safest plan for all is bimettal-
ism, it matters not whether it be
accomplished and carried on by
the free coinage of silver or the
adoption of gold standard.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Nothing is

of Great Britain and Germany to parti-
tion Portuguese East Africa between
them, Great Britain taking the country
around Delagoa bay and southwark,
and Germany the northern part, which
adjoins German East African possess

credence to the story because, as they
point out, movement of this kind,
disturbing the balance of power in
Africa, would lead almost certainly to
serious complications between the
principals and the other powers OF
Europe.

HAY AFTER THE FACTS
Will Investigate the Seizure of Ameri-
can Flour by British Warships.
UNCLE SAM S RIGHTS TO BE UPHELD.
Much Time Needed to Determine
Accurately All the Elements
Necessary to the I'repara-
tion OF Protest.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The asoer-
tainment of the facts connected with
the seizure of American flour by Brit
ish warships off the coast of Portu-
guese East Africa has been Conflded
to the United States consular agent at
Lourenzo Marques. This officer was
selected by Mr.. Hollis to look after
the affairs of the United States con.
sulate at Lourenzo MARQUES during the
time Mr.. Hollis was discharging the
duty of United States consul at Pre-
toria.
Under the instructions sent to him
by Secretary Hay he will ascertain all
of the facts connected with the seizure
of the flour, and particularly the names
of the persons to whom this flour was
consigned, and the actual ownership
of the goods. The department of state
is determined to do everything proper
to maintain American rights in the
matter of neutral trade in this case.
So far the department is In absolute
ignorance of many essential facts re-
garding the seizures, and can not pro.
ceed to make any complaint until 1t
has made sure of it's ground, 1t does
not know that all the flour was seized,
as was at first reported, and there is
reason to believe that in the case of at
least one consignment the flour was
not seized, but was simply diverted
to another port than tourenzo Mar
ques, and there left, subject to the dis
position of it's owners. Although this
may be also breach of neutral priv
ileges, 1t presents different case en-
tirely from n seizure outright.
To determine with accuracy all of
the elements necessary to the prepara-
tion OF a protest against seizure of
the kind reported necessarily con-
sumes much time, and the state de-
partment, following the usual course,
can not be expected to act otherwise
than in the line indicated. During
our late war with Spain, wherever a
seizure was made by our warships of
n merchant vessel laden with supplies
intended for Spanish ports we politely
informed foreign powers which under
took to protest that they would be
Obliged to wait the usual and regular
action of our prize courts.
These facts are set out by the OFF,
cials of the state department as an eX-
planation of the reason why the de-
partment has so far not yielded to the
clamor of certain element for ILL
considered and hasty action in the
case of those reported seizures on
DelagOa bay

London, Dec. 28.-The announce
ment of the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger
that under the secret stipulations of
the treaty Germany will take Portu-
gals Asiatic colonies and the territory
north of the Zambesi, and England
Delagoa bay, is the most startling
news of the day. The authority is
not official, and the statement of con-
certed action by the powers against
French and Russian occupation must
be accepted with reserve until the for
eign cffice confirms 1T. The alleged
payment of 25OOO,OOO marks for Ger
many's share in this territorial trade
also seems doubtful.
