A MASTER RAG PICKER.
And the Evil that Follows the
Accumulation of Dirt.

The liver is rag picker, gathering
refuse material and manufacturing it
into bile, so necessary to the perfect
working of the human machine. Some.
times the liver is overworked. Then 1t
becomes clog ged, dirty and menace to
health. More, 1t becomes plague spot

through the body. Symptoms of any
diseases may be really caused by a dis

headache, loss of appetite, and it may all
come from the liver. Neglected, these
symptoms become aggravated and dan

Bethel suffered one OF the most
destructive and dscouraging fires in its
history early Saturday morning. The
entire tannery plant operated by Phelps
e. II irrison, located near the depot, was
destroyed. with the exception of the hide
house and little office building. The fire
was discovered about II 40 p. m. in the
filling room, where the hides are
saturated with oil. A similar blaze was
discovered in the same room month
ago, but was quickly extinguished.
This time the flames spread quickly and
though there was little wind 1t was i'm
possible to save the main building and
the efforts of the fire department were
directed toward protecting adjacent
property, which was successfully done.
The tannery buildings were 400 feet in
length and the hide house, about Is feet
long, located 10 feet from the main
building was saved. 1t contained very
large quantity Of hides in storing. The
real estate was owned by local capital.
Not less than $50, 200 had been invested
In 1t at various times, in building addi-
tions, installing machinery, etc. The in
surance on the buildings was $4,000.
The tannery business has seen variety
of ups and downs, but has lately seemed
on firm footing, the plant having been
leased by Phelps & Harrison Of Leomin-
ster, Mass. They were doing good
business, employing 20 hands with a
weekly payroll of 500. They have an
insurance on their loss. but its amount
is not known. The blow to Bethel is a
severe one as the tannery was the largest
employer of labor In town, in fact, about
the only industry of any consequence
remaining. There is little probability
that it will be rebuilt.

Lord God, when we besought so late,
Thou wouldst not suffer use forget
Thy name and our weak human state
Have patience, Lord, little yet.
Today no pomp of empire fills
The wintry land; amazed and awed
We watch thy slowly grinding mills
Mete out to us our just reward.
Today, by foemen sore beset,
Dismayed we draw our destined lot;
We prayed to Thee "Lest we forget"
And, even as we prayed, forgot.
With foolish, rash, vainglorious words
And sorry self sufiiciency
We boosted, girding on our swords
AS those who laid their armor by.
Wherefore the curse upon us lies
OF warriors all unready found,
OF braggarts blinded to despise
Their foe before the trumpets sound.
Humbly we call upon Thy name,
Ere sounds once more the grim assault
We do confess, o Lord, with shame,
Our fault. our very grievous fault
Give back our fathers stern d,sdain
OF idle brag and empty boast.
So shall we stand erect again
And face unmoved the hostile host.

The unusually large attendance on the
meeting of the Vermont Dairymen's as
ISOLATION at Brattleboro last week is an
encouraging sign, not alone for the
maintenance of Vermont as the leading
dairy state of the union, but the widen
ing of the gap between her and her
nearest competitors. The high prices
received for dairy products during the
year may have had something to do with
the increased interest; but even when
the prices are down, a properly con-
Quoted dairy will pay profit. The case
of Mrs. Nelson of Ryegate, quoted In
last weeks REGISTER, is good evidence.
She stated at the meeting that she re-
oeived over $50 per head from her herd
in year, and this included cows of all
grades. The statements of former Gov.
ernor Hoard of Wisconsin that the eX
port of cheese to England had fallen
from fifteen million dollars worth in
1880 to three millions Ia 1899 and tina,
he attributed the great falling off to the
American policy of allowing filled
cheese to be palmed off as the genuine
article, should command the attention of
all dairymen TO the end that corrective
legislation may be passed.

ly depicted the senator from Indiana
would not have great injustice done.
Mr.. Hoar declared that the Filipinos
had the Spaniards hemmed in at Manila
and the latter were obliged to surrender.
He thought it would be necessary to
revise the constitution before those
Filipinos could be bought and sold. He
did not believe Mr.. Beverdge would
advise the American people to do this
thing, or to do anything so base as to
strike down the infant Filipino republic.
The Massachusetts senator made fire.
quent references to and quotation from
the reports of Gen. Otis and Admiral
Dewey and other authorities In the
Philippines. These showed that when
Aguinaldo arrived in Luzon from Hong
Kong, the Filipinos had an army of
30. 600; that in the island of Luzon the
Filipinos maintained courts, schools, mu-
nicipal governments and churches and
that peace and order prevailed pretty
generally. Spanish prisoners were kind
ly treated. This" declared Mr.. Hoar,
sis tho condition of things which it Is
proposed to crush under our heels. And
that" he commented, lyon call glory"
Mr. Hoar referred to Mr. Beveridge's state
ment that the present condition of war
fare was due to utterances in this country.
This he denied, and pointed out that in
December, 1898, the president had sent
proclamation to Gen. Otis for publica-
the proclamation with the statement that
after full consideration Of the terms
sovereignty" Fright of cession," etc d,
he was convinced they were calculated
to cause an immediate outbreak Of
hostilities. Gen. Otis amended the
proclamation by making the statement.
~ am convinced that it is the intention
of the government of the United States
to seek the establishment of the most
liberal government in the Philippines
This appeared in the proclamation issued
to the Filipinos, but copy of the actual
proclamation of the president fell into
the hands of the Filipino leaders and
preciptated hostilities.
Gen. Otis had promised, Mr.. Hoar
said, government to the Filipinos In
which they would be able to exercise a
full measure of their ineividual rights.
"Dld he utttr this promise to a people
incapable of elf-government-to half
savages and half-Spaniards? demanded
Mr.. Hoar. He thought it bold to charge
those men who had opposed this war
from the beginning with the responsible
lily of all the blood being shed. He
declared there had not been time when,
| If Gen. Otis had been able to give
assurances of independence to the
FilpinOs, the war would not have ter

from official reports, Mr.. Hoar con-
cluded, promising to discuss the question
fully in the near future.

IMPERIALISM AS ANNOUNCED BY SENA
TOR BeVERlr oE -'SCATHlNG Rs BUKE
BY SENAT Or HOAR.
The policy of imperialism, or the over
throwing of the rights and liberties of
others, aud the killing if necessary of all
their inhabitants, for the supposed glory
of such extension, or increased COM
mercial advantages which it is sup
posed might result, received its most
eloquent announcement last week in the
United States senate, from Senator
Beverage Of Indiana. As this senator
finished, Senator IIoar, Republican of
Massachusetts, Immediately arose and
addressed the senate, say ing as reported
by the correspondent of the Springfield
Republican, that he had been delighted
with the eloquence OF the senator from
Indiana. 81 am glad" he said "to
welcome to the public service his en-
thuslasm, his silver speech and the
earnestness with which he is disposed to
discharge his duty"
Yet, he said, he had listened in vain
for those words which the American
people have taken on their lips in solemn
crisises. The words right" Justice -
"duty" and freedom" were absent from
the eloquent addresses. The beauty and
eloquence of the speech had recalled that
incident in which Satan had taken Christ
up into an exceeding high mountain and
showed him all the Kingdoms of the
world and the glory thereof and promis.
ed that all should be his, if he would but
fall down and worship him, and he had
replied: "Get thee behind me, Satan"
Mr.. Hoar declared that practically every
statement of fact ia the speech was
refuted by government reports received
from Admiral Dewey, Gen Otis and from
other official sources. Where did Spain
get the right to sell her rights in the
Philippines?' Mr.. Hoar asked. Where
did the United States get the right to
buy and sell people like sheep? lie was
certain that for all the wealth and com
merce and glory which he had eloquent.

The Hon. j. Sterling Morton, late Sec
rotary of agriculture, and now editor of
the Conservative, at Nebraska City, Neb.,
makes the following statement:
1.-The editor of the Conservative has
lived upon the same quarter section of
land adjacent to Nebraska City, Otoe
county, Neb,, since 1855. He lived there
on for about two years prior to its survey
by the government. When occupancy
began thereupon there was a small
patch, not exceeding forty acres, of
indigenous forest trees. During forty
five years all the fuel for large family,
In large house, and much post timber,
has been taken from that tract. And In
December, 1899, 1t contains more sound
and thrifty trees than 1t did in December,
1856 This is because 1t has been handled
intelligently and carefully as a real
dividend declarer. The timber taken
from 1t for fuel and other purposes has
been of value of 5000 each year. In
forty-five years it has paid ia fuel and
post dividends $4,000. That beats any
plutocratic investment in stocks and
bonds of S50-cost of the forty acres
made in 1856, of which the Conservative
has any knowledge"
There can be no controversy about the
merits of this investment. But ii is not
merely as such that it Is of interest.
Continual complaints are made of the
destruction of our forests and its at
tendant evils. The experience of Mr..
Morton shows that the permanent de-
struction of the trees is not at all
necessary; that intelligence and care can
preserve, not indeed all the original
trees, but the growth of trees, over even
limited area, Notwithstanding that all
that are actually needed are used from
year to year.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con.
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eu>tachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness Is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
