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 bv an inhamed condi
tion OF the mucous lining ofthe Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the in
hammation 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 an inhsmed condi.
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by Halls

From Republican Glasses, Sunday Star.
To the citizens, irrespective of party,
who have evinced wholesome interest
in the movement to give to Wilmington
a new city charter that would provide
many reforms in the mode of govern
iaent, one condition is gratifying. The
next Legislature cannot enact partisan
charter, even if disposition to do so
should be shown.
The Republicans have the upper hand
in the Legislature, but their strength
would not be enough to pass, unaided, a
charter bill. 10 provide new charter
for Wilmington there must be a Inanim,
ity of purpose among Republicans and
Democrats alike, and this feeling will
not be manifested unless the charter bill
is clean, Straightforward and one that il
best for the interests of the city.

The collection Of garbage il this city

the people may be thankful that cold
weather is about here or it might very
readily develop into 4 tragedy. 1t seems
almost impossible to get proper service
from the collectors, and there appears to
be no one to call them to account. Since
the City Council ineXcusaby meddlcd
i'll the matter, the Board of Health is
without the necessary authority to en-
force the rules and regulations applicable
to the collection Of the garbage, and
Council is either powerless or indifferent,
it is difficult to tell which. There ought
to be a change for the better in the gar
bage service at once, for even during
cold weather oyerfiowing slop barrels,
boxes and buckets are dangerous men
ace to health, to say nothing of the in
tolerable discomfort of such a condi-
ton.

You may talk about your slngin an won't
dispute a thing,
Bu. give 10 me the music that my mother
used to singi
The singfn' that is paid for she never even
heard,
And her voice rang out as freely as the
singin' of a bird.
When I was tired an sleepy she'd wash me
clean an sweet
An hug me tight, an tuck my gown around
my little feet,
An rock an rock, while with her voice the
old house used to ring,
Till sleep, like balm descended, as 1 heard
my mother sing.
I believe the sweetest music we shall hear
around the throne
Will come from just such humble souls,
hard-worked an unknown
They could sing hymn in meetin' an sing
a child to sleep.
But all the extra music, in their hearts
they had to keep.
They sang the songs the old folks loved as
evening shades came down
Sweeter than all the operas they advertise
in town.
You may talk about your singin' an won't
dispute a word,
But my mother sang the sweetest songs
my ears have ever heard,
Ar 1 believe when all we long for freely
shall be given
I'll hear my mothers songs again. She's
singin' now, in Heaven.

BANKS AND THE GOVERNMENT
To the State Should Be Reserved the
Sole Power of Making
Money.

A correspondent asks us: SIS it not
the issue directly by the government of
the United States notes, or greenbacks,
that puts the government in the bank
ing business?" supplementing the in
quiry with the assertion that sit is the
natural province of banks to issue cir
culating notes"
We answer that the issuing of paper
money is not banking, but the exercise
by the government of function like
that of coming metal money, the
usurpation of which by banks, under
any conditions, is wrong, and should be
prohibited. 1t is no more the nat
ural province" of banks to issue cir
culating notes than it is for them to
run the post office, maintain an army or
navy, or exercise any other govern
ment power. That they have been al
lowed to do it in past years is no rea-
son why they should be allowed to do
it forever.
The way to provide the sound, stable
and unimpeachable currency that is de-
sired is to reserve for the government
the sole power to put the stamp of
money on metal or on paper.-N. Y.

English Scientists in France.

In welcoming to Boulogne the Brit
ish and French associations for the ad
vancement of science, the mayor of
Boulo9ne said their reunion repre-
sented the cooperation of Anglo
Saxon, Celt and Gaul in the service oe
science and humanity at large. Sir
Michael Foster in reply said that the
one prominent Characteristic of the
English people is their power to hide
their feelings, but when the French
scientists visited Dover though the
Englishmen did their best to keep up
the national trait, they failed. There
was proverb in England, and all the
newspapers keep it in standing type,
that "1hey do these things better in
France" He then made the confess
sion that though Dover did her best in
her reception of the Frenchmen, yet
they did these things better in France.
