PHILIPPINE EARTHQUAKES.

The Philippine islands are in state of
constant tremor. Most of these vibrations
are so slight that they can be observed
only by a special instrument invented. for
automatically recording the movements
of the earth's crust. Earthquakes are
as frequent in the human system as upon
the earths surface. A little disturbance
of the digestive organs, and the entire
system is affected. Many people pay
little attention to small disorders Of the
stomach, but they keep gradually getting
worse, and then comes the earthquake
a shock that causes serious illness. Hos
teter's Stomach Bitters should be taken
at the slightest sign of constipation in
digestion, dyspepsia, or flatulency. 1t will
cure stomach troubles and strengthen
the whole system. Our Private Revenue
Stamp covers the neck of the bottle.

THEY WILL RETURN.

One of the wisest men in the Ninth
district in d private letter says that
the Democrats lost votes because some
illiterate men were made to believe
that the amendment would disfran-
chise them and their children and,
"their confidence being shaken in the
faithfulness of the Democratic party,
many of them became an easy prey to
the schemes of the Republicans" He
adds:
II have no doubt these deluded men
will return to the house of their
fathers when it is demonstrated that
the amendment will elevate their child
rem to higher plane of citizenship
and open to them all the avenues of
honor and profitable employment.
And / would suggest, in this connec-
ton, that the Legislature provide at
once the permanent roll of registra-
ton and put at rest the question of
protecting the illiterate voter for all
time, as guaranteed by the amend
ment."
He also says that the senatorial pri-
smary, being held oR7election day, con-
EtIfnfifetl much. to the defeat of the
Democratic party.
He also says 1.-The machinery of the
Republican party in the whole State
was centered on the Eighth and Ninth
- = districts With an unprecedented cam
sspaSgh fund, and in many places brib
3 erys was open and notorious"
The faith that the illiterate men
who have been deceived by Republican
misrepresentation of the amendment
will return when the deception is e2l
i posed Bysthe practical workings of the
amendment, is entertained by nearly
( all 1he Western Democrats. AS the
IyJsepublicans have obtained a tempo
rafy victory by reason of deception
they will reap what they sow, and tho
deceived men will visit their wrath OF
the men who have deceived thenA
when they see by actual experience
that the amendment is a blessing t.
them and to their children.

TO DESTROY FREE SPEECH.

Dir. Ross, professor of economics at
Leland Stamford University, has been
forced out of the University by Mrs.
Stanford because his teachings were
not in line with the money-worship
spirit Of the Stanfords and other PA
cific shore money kings. A special TO
the World has these two significant
paragraphs:
Speaking of DR.. Ross resignation,
President Jordan said:
81 consider DR.. Ross a man with
out a peer in America today when it
comes to teaching social science. The
vacancy he will leave in our faculty
cannot be filled. There are many
good economists, but there are no So
biologists of his rank in the country
Friends of DR.. Ross are calling at
tention to the fact that the two great
institutions of education that have
been established by munificient per-
sonal endowments-the Leland Stan
ford University and the University of
Chicago, founded by John ID. Rookie
feller,' are about the only ones in the
country where the expression of per-
SOndI OIllllOH ny tlIC pIOiCSSOIS IttS
been the cause of their condemnation
and dismissal"
The trusts, having forced their em-
ployes to vote for the trust President,
are resolved to educate young men to
become defenders of the trusts. Hence
the attempt to destroy free speech. IT
is pitiful to know that, while the
trusts cannot coerce DR.. Ross, there
are college professors, just as there
are laborers, who will do anything tc
keep ''fulI dinner pail" But, thanh
God, they are in the minority. If The
trusts control the educational lnstl
tutions, they will own the cltade
where the youth are trained. and vii
subsidize or dominate the thought O

rs THE SOUTH SAFE

The New York Journal does not
think the representation of the South
will be cut down. The Journal says:
What made it so attractive to some
feather-headed newspapers in the
North was the idea that all the peo-
pie who stayed at home from the polls
in the South for any cause could be
deducted from the representative pop
ulation. When they find that Congress
can take no account of such matters,
but must look solely to the statistics
of persons actually DISTINGUISHED by
law, as recorded in the census, they
will lose interest in the subject. 1T
is more than doubtful whether the
strictest application of such a rule
could affect more than half a dozen
seats in the House"
We hope the Journal is right, but
fear it is not in possession of the Sc
crets of the McKinleyites.
Per contra, yesterdays Washington
Post contains an interview with Rep
resentative James r. Mann, who was
elected by $4,000 majority to Congress
by the Republicans of the First Hi

member says:

Heir to the Throne Stands Above
His Father

AS may be imagined from a glance

Germany, who has just come of age, is
a little too big to be laid conveniently
over the imperial knee and caned. He
Is taller than his father. Yet in the
past, that punishment has been admin

not for the influence of the empress

in the domestic economy, for the en-

somewhat in his youth. His sons, be-

training is extremely strict, and the
empress shares the training volun-
tarily. In summer the lads are out of
bed at 6, in winter at Z, and half an
hour later they have their first meal
of tea and bread and butter, at which
meal the mother is present. At 8
o'clock the princes studies begin; at

Mexican Railroad Finances.

The annual report of the Mexican
Central railway has some significant
figures well worth the study of all
those who wish to invest in Mexican
securities and industries. The total
gross gain for 1899 was 81 ,997 ,122 The
bulk of this advance on the receipts
of 1898 was made up of an increase in
local freight and local passenger bust
ness. The former showed n gain of
$1,175,6SO and the latter $3O9, ,554. In
ternational freight showed gain Of
$42O,266 and international passenger
business of $503. 1t will be seen that
the local business was the chief factor
in putting the Mexican Central where
it could meet all its interest without
drawing upon the banked-up subsidy
fund as in previous years. The year
1890 was n banner year for the gov
ernment of Mexico and for the Central

The former, taking it's name from the
Tatars who conquered northern China
In the seventeenth century, is nearly
square and is surrounded by a wall
which is over fourteen miles long. The
Chinese city was originally a suburb
and was inclosed in walls in the six
teenth century. This Is rectangular in
shape, the walls somewhat lower than
those Of the other city and measuring
ten miles in length. In the heart of the

the Forbidden City," the home of the
emperor, to which no foreigners are
admitted. Around the forbidden City"
is large inclosure known as the I'M
perial city, also having high walls and
gates Foreigners are allowed to pass
freely through this section of the city.
Three lakes are included in the in
closures which in winter time are used
for skating parties by the imperial
