til every POpnlist, Prehibilionist and
Republican enjoys his civil and politl'
cal rights as amply as a Democrat.
Today no democrat can complain that
he is denied perfect equality before the
law in any section OF this country. He
is as free in Vermont or Iowa as in
Mississippi or Georgia and wherever
the opposite party rules he has naught
to make him afraid. But this is not
true as to POpulist, Prohibltionists and
Republicans In some sections OF the
country, In at least one fourth of the
States of the Union, If they would live
unmOlested, they must smother their
convictions and vote with the ruling
side, although to do so may undermine
their business and be against the in-
terest of the government. This is an
inequality of right; 1t must be corrected.
The men Of opposite faith to this fav-
ored son OF America must be enabled
to stand upon the same plain as he does
in every section Of this country.

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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have a rum- bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored Ito Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

 Candidate for supervisor, M. J. Full Ter. and Ali Randall passed through here Tuesday on their way home at Pine.
 The question here is, why should a person have a say at the primaries when he fails to be a voter in the gen make the would-be citizen produce his poll tax receipt at the primary election and show that he is interested in the general affairs of the county?
 The nominations as made on the dem ocratic ticket for county officers do not altogether please at this end of the county. It was not expected that many of the candidates would be chosen from the outside, but it was expected that the country would receive a fair repre- sentation on the ticket. By failing to work harmoniously, city and country, a loss of democratic votes may occur.

PORK AS SEEN IN HISTORY
Many Contentious Have Arisen Over
 Its Use As Food.

The hog of today constitutes no less than go different articles of commerce. and next to cotton and wheat furnishes the largest values in exports from the United States. Its name has become an epithet. Its application to man means greed and brutishneSs. It is commonly supposed to be scaVenger. like the puddle duck It takes mud baths So do men. There is much vir- tue in mud. The hog bathes in pools Of it to coat his skin against the attacks of insects: man dips his festered hide in it to improve the circulation and draw out his gout and rheumatism. The hog is pachydermatous: so is man notwithstanding Cuvier's classifica-
 tion. 1 have seen men. know men to- day, with skins thicker than the hide of rhinocerous. The hog is omniver- ous-so is man. The hog is carnivor- ous by choice-so Is man. The hog is herbivorous, gramnivorcus. bramivCT- ous and phytivorous by eiucaton-so is man.
 These reflections are induced by the indignities offered useful animal. The hog was the cleanest of beasts unti' man built a sty and imprisoned him in filth, killed him in filth and ate him m filth. No animal. wild or domestic Is SO clean about it's bed as the hos. It wants pure, sweet. fresh straw every time. The hog has brains. It has been known to excel the pointer in scenting quail. An authentic instance is men tioned by Bingley in Memoirs of the British quadrupeds," of a keen-scented SOW that would stand at birds which ..l
 of an educated OK or sheep? Yet we have had on our stage educated hogs that could spell and play cards, count and tell the time. Hogs make docile pets. Many a poor family has its pet pig sleeping on the pallet beside the children, privileged to the best in the house.
 The hog caused the bigges; mutiny ever known in the history of the world, and was responsible for men being blown from the muzZles of cannon. When Great Britain shipped cartridges to India for the native troops sine reck- Oned without her host. for the ammu- milton was greased with lard. which sc offended the religious scruples of the sepoys that they arose as enc man in rebellion. The American hog nearly caused war between Germany and the United States and only the diplomacy of Whitlaw Reid obtained for the ani- nal admission into France.
 Moses and Mohammed were opposed to the hog because, while it divides the hoof and is cloven footed, yet it chews not the cud. The camel is not eaten for oposite reasons-it chews the cud but is not eleven footed. The hare is also unclean, because while it chews the cud it divides not the hoof. All civ iiZed nations have passed and repassed laws governing what a man shall eat and how much it shall cost him, but the only sumptuary measure that ever stood the test of time is the law of Moses concerning the hog. It has been on the statute books for 3390 years.-N. Y. Press.

The table cloths and napkins are dried as usual and are then rung out of boiling water and rolled very tightly. While still thor oughly wet they are ironed with as hot an iron as can be used without scorch- ing. Rich starch used in laundering fine linen, cambrics and lawns is made from pulverized rice.

A HAZARDOUS KICK.
On Rock Hanging Over a Cliff 320O
 Feet High.

Of the many photographs that have been taken of the overhanging rock at Glacier Point. in the Yosemite. none is more striking than one taken by Julia Boysen this summer. The young wo- man who is doing the high kick is Miss Kittie Fetch. On one occasion she lay at full length on the rock, with her head resting on her hand and the point of her elbow on the very jagged edga of the OutermOst point of the rock, and on another she stood with her foot raised and extended well out over the abyss while the photographer took a shot at her hazardous position. Even upon a level floor it is not an easy mat ter to take such a pose with sufficient steadiness to suit the purposes of a photograph, let alone on the edge of not too stable rock. hanging out over the brow of a cliff 3.2O0 feet high.

FOR A RAILROAD IN ECUADOR.
A New Yorker After Jamaican Labor
 to Build the Line.

James P. Mcdonald, the famous rail road construction magnate of New York arrived at Kingston Tuesday. He is seeking to engage 5000 Jamaican laborers to build the railroad from Guayaquil to Quito in the South Amer ican republic of Ecuador.
 MT. Mcdonald built the railroad in Jamaica some years ago. The present contract is worth 9 million dollars. It has been undertaken by MT. Mcdonald in behalf of a Scotch syndicate that has been gotten up for the purpose of Ce- veloping Ecuador.
 Through Chimbo pass, 5000 feet above sea level, the line of the corpora tiOn known as the Guayaquil & Quito Railway company runs to a high pla- teau of the Andes with an average ele- Vation of 10, ,000 feet. The miles of road thus far constructed run through rich and fertile valley, almost directly under the equator. From Guayaquil the sea port of Ecuador the distance is about 300 miles, and the railway will open d large coal region. The company which obtained the railway concessions also received the right to establish financial institutions. It was formed several years ago and incorporated under the laws of New Jersey. Subsidies were said to have been promised to the de- velopment company that would more than offset the cost of building the rail way. A small section of s.Xty-five miles from Guayaquil to the foot of the mountains was built by Spanish capital several years ago and is now in opera tion. The franchise of the entire road was given by the government for seven.tyfve years. The government 0f Ecuador required a deposit of one-ha f million dollars as a security fer it's con- oessions.-Chicago Record.
