ImperlaIlSm's Failure.

Washington, Sept. 21,-With a
war revenue computed to support
the Government while at war with
a world power and an average tar
if under the Dingley law of So per
cent, the expenditures of McKin-
ley's administration during the
last two months have exceeded
the receipts from all sources by a
fraction less than So, 200, 900.
During the first two months of
the present fiscal year, ending Au-
gust 81, the expenses of the army
and navy reached the enormous
sum of $45, $50, O52 &c, or about
$765,O 600 per day, and yet Presi-
dent Mckinley insists that the
country is at peace.
At the present rate of expendi-
ture, it will be impossible for the
people to hope for a lessening of
the burden of taxation now i'm
posed, but rather if the expendi-
lures continue to exceed the re-
ceipts as they have been doing for
the past two months another issue
of bonds will be necessary in order
to maintain the required gold re-
serve.
The policy of the administration
regarding the Chinese crisis was
settled at the Cabinet meeting
this morning. The Gov
eminent has rejected Germany's
proposal to join in furnishing the
officials responsible for the Pekin
outrage and has decided to go
ahead with the peace negotiations
with China in all haste.
The President, in view of the
uprising in the Philippines, is more
than ever anxious to get American
troops out of the Empire at the
earliest moment. General Near
thurs reports show that he needs
more men to cope with the situa'
ton.
The German request to join in
Furnishing the Chinese responsible
for the outrages was disposed OF
in short order. Mr.. Mckinley fell
that the Philippine situation sc
completely demanded all available
troops in the Orient that he coulC
not seriously consider any policy
which would mean the punishment
of the Boxer chefs.
A member of the Cabinet sale
this evening that all the United
States troops will be withdrawn al
once from China, excepting one
squadron of cavalry, one battery
of artillery and one regiment OF
infantry.
These will remain as a guard fol
Minister Congor and the United
States Legation. The troops with
drawn will go to the Philippines
The marines now on duty in China
will be sent to Cavite.

Who Is Hurt?

A GREAT storm has been raging
lately in Republican party circles
because the people of North Caro-
lima, by an overwhelming MAORI
ty, have adopted an amendment to
the State constitution requiring an
educational qualification as a test
of eligibility to vote. The Repub-
leans charge that it is disfranchis-
ing the negro and that it is indeed
worse than their taxation without
representation scheme in the Phil
ippines.
Well, let's see. Really, now,
what great crime have the people
of North Carolina committed On
ly this: They recognized that the
stability of a republic rests upon
the intelligence of the people.
Consequently they reasoned that it
is dangerous to put the franchise
into the hands of any element who
cannot read and consequently can
not understand the fundamental
principles upon which the govern
ment rests. This was their rea'
soning, and but for one point they
might be given credit for straight
forward honesty Oh thru the score
Now they adopt a constitutions
amendment declaring that unless /
man can read and write he shall
not vote. Here they discriminate
little in favor of the white man
but it is to his disadvantage a
last, as we shall show later on.
We are told that the situation
was fully understood in North Car
DINA by all parties. Consequent
ly, the intelligent negroes vote'
for the amendment, and we rea'
that faculties of c0lorcd college
worked with all their might 70

A WORD OF CAUTION.

The old saying that "a man, who is
naked can't give away his shirt, is only
another way of saying that you can't
give what you haven't got. The man
can't give "free medical advice" or any
other kind of medical advice who hasn't
got a medical education and certificate
to the fact, in the form of diploma.
And in this particular a woman has no
more privilege than man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu-
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
by DR.. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. ", has been initiated
by SO many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give "mcdical
advice" that word of caution is ncccs-
sary.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not ply
stefan. If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors so
that you may recognize them. If they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law.
Do not forget that there is just as
much difference in doctors as in artists.
Every little town has its artist who draws
and paints. But these "artists" gener-
ally paint copies of the works of great
artists like Millet. There was only one
Millet.
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as DR.. Pierce
presides over. Thousands of women
come or write to DR.. Pierce who have
found no help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ailing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con-
suit DIR. Pierce, by letter, free. Such con-
situations are absolutely private. Each
letter is treated as a sacred confidence,
and each answer is sent in a plain en-
velope, bearing no printing upon it:
In this way offensive questions and
repulsive examinations may be avoided.

I'VE cannot look upon a change

The Grocers' Position.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t has been stated that at meeting OF
the retail grocers Of this city Il resolved mot
TO trust any person connected with the strike"
This is absolutely false. The laboring class Of
this city, especially the miners, have no cause
whatever to complain Of the generosity of the
grocer; nor can he say auaht but that he has
been his nearest and best friend. For years it has
been very hard for the grocer to carry his min.
ing trade, simply because those who would be
honest and pay their bills could not for the sim.
pie reason that they could not earn II, in many
cases. Now, in the present crisis, the rumor has
been circulated that the groccrs have decided
to close their doors and many more rumors which
tend to make illfecling between the miner and
his friend OF many years standing
To such an extent has this il.fccling grown
that many miners have taken their money to the
cash stores and left their accounts unpaid with
the credit grocer. True. the groccrs OF this
city have taken steps to protect Themselves Why
not? Among the miners, as among all classes,
there are men whose credit Is limited to just
thirty days But in this they not alone as
some Of our merchants can barely get thirty days,
but who now in all probability have to pay spot
cash for every dollars worth Of goods pur-
chased.
The reader will readily see that the grocer
must take some means Of curtailing credit, also
expenses, but no miner who has shown himself
TO be honest in the past need have any fear OF the
present. Certain il is that the bills will have
to be smaller as the strike is prolongcd-because
the grocer, being put on a cash basis with his
I jObbcr, must necessarily be very careful in his
credits, else he must close his doors, and that
is not the intention Of the Scranton merchant

him out of it by not being careful in their pur-
chases or by refusing TO pay their bills for goods
already received.
