HANNA WITH THEM"

st. Louis Republican.
The Republican party is practically
cGnmitted To defense Of the trusts Its
oracle, Senator Hanna. has said outright,
$50 long as all that is said about the
trusts is talk and nothing but talk so
long as trusts have not proved a curse to
the country, | believe they should be let
alone
The Attorney General. the trusted legal
adviser of the administration. has taken
no action against trusts and has thrown
every obstacle within his power i'll the
way Of an assault upon them.
Those connected with the admin.Stra-
ton who are not defending the Trusts
are silent on the subject.
1t has been said that the trusts will
contribute to the campaign fund of the
Republican party $25.000,000 for use
during the 1900 campaign. The state
nnent is in every way credible. Copper
atoms capitalized at more than 1000,
WG.O0O could well afford To set aside
SO, 100000 to- secure not only immun-
ity from government opposition, but gov
ernment aid in the shape of tariff legis-
latiom to fasten their hold still more
securely.
This gigantic campaign contribution
would come directly out Of the pockets
Of the people. The Standard OIL Conn
pany raised the price of oii':; cents a
gallon and as result paid quarterly
dividend of 1$20,000.000. If that trust
made a big contribution TO the Repllb-
lican campaign fund it would merely cut
down a trifle the quarterly dividend. 1t
would me u sound investment from the
point of view OF trust operators, and
the corrSunlcrs of OIL would pay il in the
shape Of raised prices before the cam
raioal wear closed

TO Who'll TT MAY CONCERN /:

When my little girl was three months
old, there appeared Il little red spot on
her face. something similar to ring
worm. which afterwards spread over
her cheek. then it began to come out in
different places, all over her body.
When the child was nearly Il year old,
she began to scratch herself, and we
could do nothing to relieve her surfer
ing. She scratched. bled and cried
nearly all night long. We tried all the
remedies friends would suggest. We had
the best physicians to prescribe, but to
no avail. The child only grew worse.
and for several months it seemed that
we must give up our darling child. Her
suffering was so intense that it took
nearly all of my time, especially at night,
to wait upon her. The sheets would
be covered with blood and Scabs every
morning, and it was a pitiful sight to
look mt the poor. suffering little girl
My life was darkened beyond dcScrip-
ton. and | was unfit for business. Final
ly. one of the ablest physicians in North
Carolina who had been attending the
child, told me to use Mrs. Joe Person :
Remedy aS a last resort. | used one
bottle. and the child grew much better
but again she got worse and then |
became discouraged and stopped it. Mrs
Joe Person visited us and insisted on
our using the Remedy longer. The doses
were So small for a young child. that one
bottle lasted long enough to try my pa
thence, and | did not agree To return 10
the Remedy. but my wife insisted on
doing so, and we began it again. After
using five bottles of the Remedy and
several packages of the Wash. our child
was entirely cured. without single scar.
l must say just here. that the Wash
was u little painful at first. but after
using it few times. the child seemed
TO enjoy ii. The child was 2l2 years old
when cured. We are now happy ana

and pretty child as can be found in
North Caroline. All praise to God ana

Oricin Of NIsItInr Cards.

"The use Of visiting cards dates back
to quite an antiquity" explains Mrs.
Van Koert Schuyler, in the Ladies'
Home Journal Formerly the porter
at the lodge or door of great houses
kept a visitors book, in which he
scrawled his idea of the names OF those
who called upon the master and his
family, and to whose inspection it was
submitted from time to time. One fine
gentleman, a scion of the nobility from
the Faubourg st. Germain, was
shocked to find that his porter kept
so poor a register of the names of
those who had called upon him. The
names. badly written with spluttering
pen and pale or muddy ink, suggested
to him the idea of writing his own
name upon slips of paper or bits of
cardboard in advance of calling upon
his neighbors, lest his name should
fare as badly at the hands of their
2nrters. This custom soon became
generally established"

| Bishop Goldman, the new Episcopal
Bishop of Maine, visited his old parishon-
i ers in Roxbury. Mass, recently and de-
livered a sermon in which, as reported by
I the Boston dailies, he spoke of the Pine
Tree State in far from complimentary
terms. For example, the Boston Jour
nails report contained these paragraphs
from tie sermon:
''The State of Maine is doing its work
in small way, rs far as our church is
concerned. There are many people there
who have never been taught to observe
Gods teachings. There are many chill

church, and many who have never been

very iliterate, and do not know how i'm
portant it is to worship God.
''The church is a family of baptized
persons. Down there many children have
| been stolen away from the mother church.
| tell them the Episcopal church is the
mother church, and that the mother likes
to bring them up to be good members of

The Boston Herald report is substan =
tally the same. Bishop Goldman com
plains, however, that he has been ''gross-
/ ly misrepresented.' We do not under
stand him as denying that he made the
( statements quoted; only that the report
ers ''omitted all that was complimentary
to Name But it would take good
many compliments To counterbalance that
! which is the reverse of complimentary
and of truthfulness. As the Portland
Evening Express says:
1t was extremely unfortunate for the
good that he doubtless hopes to do here
in Maine, that Bishop Codman's remarks
should have been reported in the Boston
/ papers, necessitating an explanation
which does not fully explain, and leaving
doubt as to what his remarks concern
ing the people OF Maine actually were.

the Mayor is that concerning new bridge.
Many will agree with him that it is time
something was done in this direction.
With the present structure there is con-
slant danger of damage suits, to say moth
ing of liability to interruption of travel
and heavy bills for repairs The Mayor
suggests rip-rapping 800 feet of the east
ern end of the bridge and making a
permanent roadway of brick or cedar
blocks. He also suggests changing the
roadway at the east end of the bridge
to avoid the steep hill. The city
cannot, under the law, incur further
liabilities but of the cash in the treas
ury $1,000 or 5000 may be transfer

sewers suspended for one year, so that
the tax burden will not be heavy
