The "syna;cated president.p


Where does Mark Hanna turn when
he starts to raise the enormous cam
paign fund which he warns his sup
porters is essential to the election Of
Mr.. Mckinley? Does he so to the peo-
pie? Not all! He goes rather to the
full money-bags which have been
made rotund by Mckinley bounties,
Mckinley subsidies, Mckinley con-
tracts and other MCKINLEY benefits, con-
tributions from which are not merely
tithes from favors received, but the cx-
preston of lively hope of favors to
come. What word can more accurate
ly describe presidency obtained by
this means, for these ends, than that
employed by Mr.. OlDey-"a syndicated
presidency ?"-Ncw York World.

Profitable Advertising.
For local business the local newspa-

mediums.-Th Ad Writer.
Advertising is valuable exactly In

The force and profit of advertising
consists in constantly keeping before
the people your location what you have
to sell, the prices at which you will sell,
and in religiously keeping every prom

The question is often asked, Why is
newspaper advertising the most profit
able? And 1t is to be said that most of
the answers have failed in giving the
actual reason. The first reason is, that
the newspaper advertisements find the

The young men of to-day are too fin
icky-too much given to self-analysis,
self-pampering. Their shoes and neck
ties cost more each year than did the
entire wardrobe of their grandfathers.
They feel sense of degradation in
small beginnings and plodding and they
wait for success ready-made to come to
them. The young man of to-day can
not be. president of bank or Judge Of

A Japanese Auction.

A Japanese auction is a most solemn
affair. The public do not Gull out their
bids, but write their names, together
with the amount they are willing to
pay, on slips of paper and put them in
a box. These are looked through, and
the article awarded 10 the person who
has made the biggest offer.

Chronic Rhcumatism.


This name should, according to all
usage, represent continue
ton of an acute rheumatism in less
violent and painful form. and such
cases are actually found under the
name chronic rheumatism. Yet this
name, us ordinarily employed, desig-
mates several affections, all of which
are characterized by pains in the joints
or in the muscles, which have ten
dency to persist indefinitely. There is
u form of chronic rheumatism which
affects the patient like the acute dis
ease, except that the symptoms are less

slight, and the swelling of the joints
may be scarcely noticeable. AS in tile
acute variety, various joints are affect
ed successfully. The disease may final.
ly become concentrated and remain
fixed in Il single joint. In this disease
there is but little disturbance of the
general health, insufficient, indeed, to
disturb the patients avocation. Yet
there are instances in which move.
ments of the affected part cause con.
siderable pain, and patients may be
even confined to the bed. After long
continuance Of the disease the affected
joints may present irregular enlarge
ments and stiffenings, While the mus
cles of these limbs become small from
lack of use.
In many cases of acute rheumatism
the severity of the pain varies extreme
ly with the weather; SO that such indi-
yiduals are usually able to foretell, by a
few hours, the occurrence of cold and
moist weather. There is variety OF
rheumatism, SO called, in which the
pain is felt chiefly along the leg bones
the "shins," and occurs especially al
night.
Treatment-One of the most import
ant features of treatment of chronic
rheumatism is care in wearing flannel

The House Of Representatives elected
In November will doubtless be the last
one chosen under the present appor-
donment of members to the various
States. When the census returns are
fully made up, Congress will decide
how many Representatives shall be al
lotted to each State, and then the States
will be divided by their legislatures into
districts. Whatever changes the new
apportionment makes in the States as
such, 1T seems certain that the large
cities will gain something at the ex-
pense of the rural districts.

front rank of causes of mortality. One
American company had % deaths from

every year since from 90 to 40 deaths
have been reported. The medical ex-
aminers add that the figures understate
tie fact, since many deaths ascrlbed to
pneumonia, for instance, are really
caused by this vicious influenza, which
seems not only to strike at ones weak

the whole system. Probably the pecu-

Shortly before his ordination. the mon
slgnor lived for some years in the Au-
gustine community in Ireland. where
he became familiar with the English
language ms it is spoken by our Irish

In 1889 Archbishop Martinelli was
elected to the post of prior general of
his order, and in 1905 was confirmed in
this office for term of twelve years.

Mckinley a Living Negative.

The Republican party of to-day is a
complete negation of the party founded
forty years ago. The leader of that
party is the personification of political
negation. He has negatived his pre-
yiously declared opinions on bimetall-
ism, on war of criminal aggression,
on civil service reform, on what he de-
clared to be "our plain duty" toward
Porto Rico. and will probably reverse
himself on other positions before he
leaves Office for good on March next.

What VIII Bryan Dor

OF the subordinate issues Mr.. Bryan
gives trusts and monopolies the first
place, and well says that
The appalling growth of combinations
in restraint of trade during the present
administration proves concluslvely that
the Republican party lacks either the
desire or the ability to deal with the
question effectively.
He repeats his suggestions as to spe-
cific remedies, but this pledge goes d.
rectly to the point:
If elected l shall appoint an Attor-
ney General who will, without fear or
favor, enforce existing laws.
This is what the country needs more
than new laws-and what it has never
had under any administration, Demo-
cratic or Republican. And this is the
strongest point In Mr.. Bryan's favor.
Nobody questions that he would ap-
point such an Attorney General, and
sustain him with all the great power of
the executive office. Nor does anybody
doubt that if President Mckinley shall
be reelected we shall have the same
or another corporation lawyer and trust
promoter rs Attorney General.-New
