Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
EuStachian Tube. When this tube gets ntamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result. and unless the information can be
taken ont and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine eases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is an ntamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any

seen that the expenses OF grain in
spection during 1900 exceed the 1898 ex-
penses by s16,274.47., If the cost of the
board Of grain appeals is. added to the
1900 expenses, this excess is increased
to s30507.47 over 1898. There were more
cars of wheat inspected in 1898 than
were inspected in 1900, yet the cost Of
inspection was greater by sic, 274.47, 3ex-
Guiding the board of appeals, a.ldN this
increased cost is sufficient to pay ~
additional employees 5000 per year each.
Whether or not the employees taft was
increased to that extent, i am not pre-
pared to say, but it could be done for
that amount of money.
These figures do not bear out the
statement Of Gov. Lind that the So

the case. NIX 4

State Grain Inspection. s
In his speech Of acceptance, Gov?
Lind discussed the state grain inspec-
ton department and certain changes
which were designated reforms which
have been effected therein during his
administration. In concluding his re-
marks son this subj Jet, the governor
said ::
e will only add that these reforms
!. In the grain service have been ac-5
complished without any increase of ex-i
penditure; son the contrary, the ex-.
pense of the service during the crop

The former chief grain inspector ter
minated his services with the depart
ment about Aug. /, 1899, SO that during.
the first seven months OF Gov. Lind's
term Of Office he was In ostensible
charge of the department., although a
numbers Of changes and appointments
were made for him for which he was
:
this in order to show that no fair com-.
parison can be made between the last
year and the preceding year, as the
term of the Republican chief inspector
overlapped the first year OF Gov Lind's
administration.
The only fair comparison Is one be-
tween the last full year, when inspect
or Clausen held Office under a Repub-,
lican governor, and the full year DUR

office under Democratic governor,

year 1900 amounted, 3 on July s--st to:
$449. 1890.
During the year that our friends Of
the opposition have had control OF the
prison twine plant, I find that they
pure chased exceedingly large amounts
of sisal, the monthly statements 7 have
before referred to showing upwards OF
1000, 600 pounds of fiber purchased: /
am informed by Warden Reeve that
the average price paid for this large.
amount Of raw material was a fraction
over 1-3 cents per. pound, and that
there remained on hand Aug. LIST, 1900,
1,175,539 pounds Of sisal and 49,, 675
pounds Of manufactured Irvine. {
I find by the market report published
in the Cordage Trade Journal Of Sept.
6, 1900 that the market price Of sisal is
from 5 3-8 to5 Ia cents per pound, and
the tendency is toward lower prices.
The prison Irvine plant is thus shown
to be in possession Of ,539 pounds
Of sisal at the end Of the season, for
which it has paid almost cents more
than the current market price. II also
find in the same trade journal, that the
market price quoted Sept. 9th for
Standard Sisal Irvine is to Z IL cents
per pound. I find from the statement
made to me by the prison authorities,
that from Sept. 8, 1899, to Feb. 8, 1900.
the farmers who had ordered Irvine
from the state prison were charged 10
cents per pound for mixed Irvine,
and from Feb. 8 to Aug. 4, 1900, 10 cents
for sisal and II IL cents for mixed,
and as the prison Irvine is sold at a;
figure but very little, above cost, and is
manufactured at a low cost, owing to
the cheapness Of prison labor, it is not
3 likely that the surplus stock Of fiber at
the prison could be manufactured and
sold at lower prices except at a loss.
The farmers who ordered their Irvine
from the state prison in the spring and
early summer at the prices above
quoted, have had the modification Of
seeing Irvine Of the same quality Of
fered by jobbers at z to 8 cents, or to
3 cents lower than the prison Irvine.
am informed by the prison author
tiles that on July 81, 1900, the outstand-
ing accounts Of the prison Irvine plant
| amounted to $375, 1865. "a. It has been
customary for all bills for Irvine to be
paid up by the farmers by Dec. 1st
each year, but the indications are that

there will be q large sum unsolicited
onDec. LIST of this year. The only term
which can describe the management Of
the prison Irvine plant by the present
administration is the word .'un-
businesslike,' and the results Of
their Il efforts at the end Of the
season are not such as to breed
confidence in their future binding Irvine
manufacturing operations. In their
efforts to manufacture a large stock OF
political capital the board Of prison
managers lost sight Of business princi-
pies in the manufacture Of tWine.
The Parties compared.
The record Of the achievements OF
the Democratic and Populist parties in
their self-appointed role Of reformers,
is not one Of which they have any rea-
son to be proud. Their brief irruptions
have not been to the advantage Of the
state or to the interests Of the taxpay-
ers. They have been given three trials
and found lamentably wanting on each
occasion, and there is no indicat ton that
If they are given a fourth opp ortunity
they will do any better. Like the fool
ish virgins, they are anxious to partici-
pate in the marriage feast but they In.
variab1y forget to provide Oil for their
lamps. Their record has been one OF
failure, and worse than failure-of
disaster. 81

party has bAen the promoter and orig
inator OF all that has been useful and
beneficial to the state. Our laws and
