Beware OF a Cough.

A cough is not a disease but
a symptom. Consumption aud
bronchitis, which are the most
dangerous and fatal diseases,
have for their first indication a
persistent cough, and if proper>
ly treated as soon as this cough
appears are easily cured. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy has
proven wonderfully successful,
and gained its wide reputation
and extensive sale by its success
in curing the diseases which
cause coughing. If it is not
beneficial it will not cost you
a cent. For sale by Or. J. f..

WASHINGTON'S OPINION.
A. H. MITCHELL.

In 177S, General Washington's
army was not in a very good
condition. It needed food and
clothing, in fact the soldiers
were in rags, and with their
officers lived on the plainest Of
food, principally roots. Con-
gress was struggling to supply
him and his army with the
neCessaries of life, but It had
trouble with those who had the
supplies, because they controlled
the market and were not dis
posed to let them 60 without
being paid their own price. 1t
was then that Washington wrote
Joseph Reed, president of Con
gress, to the following effect:
ut gives me sincere pleasure
to find that the bly, of
Pennsylvania is so we'll disposed
to second your endeavors in
bringing those murderers of our
cause, the monopolizers, fore
stallers and engrossers, to con-
dign punishment. It is much
to be lamented that each State
long ere this has not hunted
them down as pests to society
and the greatest enemies eve
have to the happiness of Amer
lea.
Il would to God that some
one of the most atrocious IN
each State was hung in gibbets
upon a gallows five times as
high as the one proposed by
Haman.
mo punishment. in my opin-
ion, is too great for the man
who builds his greatness upon
his country's ruin.

Attorney General Griggs has
not yet started his suit against
the New York Herald for its
Wickedness in i'm porting an
"al1en contract laborer" from
Puerto Rico. Senator Jones of
Arkansas says that he will ask
why, in a resolution to be in
troduced Saturday or Monday.
Questions of this sort will be
wasted, we are afraid. The adj
ministration dare not and
consequently will not allow the
political status of Puerto Rico
to be passed upon by the ST.
preme court. At some time or
other a test case is bound to get
up there, but certainly not this
side of the presidential election.

CONCERNING TELEGRAPH
RATES.

To pay practically s25 for
brief 10 word message to the
Philippines may seem extrava>
CANT, but when one reflects that
it travels three ffths of the dis
lance around the globe in COM
pleting the journey, passing un-
der the direction of half a dozen
different companies, the cost
seems far from exorbitant. The
ordinary course of such a mes
sage would be from New York
to Cape Breton, n. S., thence to
Hearts Content, Newfoundland,
where 1t dives under the
Atlantic. to reappear on the
coast of Ireland. From here it is
forwarded to London, which is
the great center and clearing
house for the cable business of
the whole world. From London
the message will be forwarded
either across the English cham
mel and overland to Marseilles,
or by the Eastern Telegraph
Company's line around the
Spanish peninsula, stopping at
Lisbon. Th, ough the Mediter>
ranean the route leads to Alex>
andria, across Egypt by land,
down the Red Sea to Alden,
through the Arabian Sea to
Bombay, over India by land,
across the bay of Bengal to Sir
gapore, along the coast of Hong
Kong, aud across the China Sea
to Manila. Notwithstanding the
many lands and many hands
through which it passes the mes
sage is forwarded with reasona-
bic promptness, with perfect Sc
crecy and all the way in English.
TIE increase in the use of the
telegraph for business purposes
has been accompanied by a
steady reduction in the cost OF
messages. When the first Allan
tic cable was laid the price of 4
20 word message between Lon
don and New York was 500, OF
S per word. Now the CONNER
cial rate between the two cities
is Is cents per word. To tele>
graph 10 words form Chicago tc
New York in 1866 cost S2.o5
Now it costs 40 cents. Telegraph
ing to distant parts Of the world
Is still an expensive business
The rate per word for message
from San Francisco to Auck-
land, N. T., for example, is 81 81.
From New York to Manila the
rate-is $2.45. The charge is not
always in ratio to the distance
The rate from New York to some
South American or West Indian
ports is nearly s. per word, but
in reaching these points the
messages travel twice across the
Atlantic.-Ainslee's Magazine.

COUNTY IMPROVEMENTS

We give place 10 a portion of an excel.
lent editorial from the Baltimore Sun OF last
week:
"The two Maryland counties which Dor.
der on the District Of Columbia are Mont.
gomery and Prince Georges. There has
for some years been a movement among
Washington people to suburban aud coun-
try homes and both Prince Georges aud
Montgomery counties have profited largely
by II, the latter, however, 10 far greater
degree than the former. Villages have
grown up In Montgomery, public roads
have improved, the population has grown
and the taxable basis and wealth of the
county have greatly increased. Prince
Georges enjoys q number of advantages
over Montgomery. IL has more railroads
and better railroad facilities, Ii has ex-
ceedingly fertile lands and beautiful sites.
II has the advantage OF lying between Bal.
timore aud Washington aud of being con.
venient To both these large cities. And yet
while IL has grown and improved its i'm.
provement does not compare with that OF
Montgomery. Since 1877 the assessable
basis OF Prince Georges has increased a
little over q million dollars, while the in
crease in Montgomery has been three and
hall millions.
"There may be many things TO account
for this difference, but the difference In the
county government lie sufficient alone TO
explain II all. The government of Mont
gomery county has always been In the
hands Of the prudent, taxpayi ng people,
who have the public interests rather than
partisan interests al heart. The tax rate In
recent years has been uniformly lower than
10 Prince Georges. Roads have been i'm
proved and the Commissioners are even
now engaged In constructing q fine graded
nacadam road through the heart Of the
county from Rockville 10 Washington"

EXTRA VAGANCE AND CORRUPT
TON

The Hagerstowu MGH says There is
scarcely q department oil administration
that rs not implicated in reckless and waste
iul expenditure OF public money, whether
that Of the American people or oi the i'm
poverished Cubans. Hardly have the postal
scandals In Cuba subsidized than is discovered
hideous job In the educational depart
ment OF the island, covering numerous high
salaries Tor supernumerary professors in the
College at Havana. On the heels Of this
comes the account of the scandalous be-
stowal OF lat sinecures upon Administration
iavorites in the Paris Exposition. In order
10 latten politicians out OF job upon the
public Treasury, commission alter commits
sion has been created for the performance
ol services Tor which the regular officials OF
the Government are amply paid. Or the
purchase Of steamships at extravagant prices
Tor the Government by politicians having a
pull" and Of the wssteiul retLting OF these
transports the scandaIous story is not yet
hall told. The latest is the conversion of
the yacht Mayfiower rs floating palace Tor
Charles II. Allen, the carpet-bag satrap of
Porto Rico. The New York Herald OF sun
day gives an elaborate description OF the ex-
quisile rosewood furniture Of antique de-
sign, the woodwork Of the staterooms In
ished in white and gold the canopy bed
Wiln rs, crimson satin dsmssk the luxu.
rious Assy rian rugs and carpets, and the
library with It's 1000 volumes in expensive
bindings. 10 keeping witt this are alI the
rest Of the furnishings -,ae French cut glass,
the china and Dresder porcelain and the
sumptuous 'hs ofS hperial yacht which
Heliogabalus might b, envied. All this,
too, for plain Massachusetts paper manu-.
fActurer and politician. But whilst sim.
pie republican might .siain such ostenta.
ton and luxury it was doubtless deemed
expedient 10 Impress the native subjects OF
Porto Rico with the magniticence of the
Government 10 which they have become
annexed. The American people have been
patient and long suffering under burdens Of
needless taxation, but the murmurs that
have at last risen on all sides bode no good
for the republican politicians who have in
Augurated q system Of extravaganza and
waste which bears with oppressive weight
on the toiling masses. What the workers
10 the mines and mills and fields are OBJ
liged to pay 10 indirect taxes for the sup
port OF such q system deprives them and
their families inevitably Of many of the
comforts and even necessaries OF decent liv.
lug. But after the carnival OF extravaganza
comes the sober second thought. Thou
sands OF the American people who have fol.
lowed the Administration and sustained IL
up 10 certain point are now convinced OF
the necessity OF returning TO the maintenance
OF the Democratic institutions of the land.
