EASE AND DISEASE
a Short Lesson on the Meaning
Of a Familiar " Orld.

Disease is the opposite OF ease.
Webster defines disease as "lack
of ease, uueasineso, trouble, vexa-
ton, diSqpiet." 1t is a condition
due to some arrangement of the
physical organism. A vast major
ity of the disease" from which
people suffer is due to impure
blood. Disease of this kind is
cured by Hood sSarsaparilIa which
purifes, enriches and vitalizes the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparllla cures
scrofula, salt rheum, pimples and
all ernptions. 1t tones the stom-
-aeh and creates q good appetite,
and it gives vigOr and vitality to
the whole body. 1t reverses the
condition of things, giving health,
comfort aud cease" IN place Of
disease. D."

THE OREGON ELECTION.

For some time the election in Oregon.
the first OF the State elections to be
held this year. has been looked for
ward to as likely to be Of some service
as indicating the direction and strength
OF the political mind. Now that 1t has
been held 1t will doubtless serve as a
slender hook for some very formidable
prophecies as to the Presidential cleo
ton.
IF first estimates from the returns
are reliable. the election has not proved
anything at all. except that the par
tisans in Oregon are standing by their
parties. the change In the majorities
from previous elections being too tri-
fling to have any real significance.
Mr. Mckinley carried the State in
1896 by 21l7 votes; the Republican ma
jority in 1895 was 1914 out OF total
vote of S4.5l3. certainly not sufficient
variation from this years majority to
give the prophets much toe-hold.
In truth. those who have kept up with
the trend of events. hardly expected the
Democrats to make gains in Ore
gon this year. There Is no use in dis
guising the fact that there is a con-
siderable imper!alistic sentiment on the
Pacific slope. particularly in the sea-
port cities. This is natural, They profit
largely even by the Philippine war. and
they regard themselves as destined to
take toll OF any trade that may be
built up between the United States and
the Orient. Every insignificant fishing
hamlet along the Western Coast feels

GoUGING THE GOVERNMENT.
(Atlanta JOurnal)


The debate in the Senate Yesterday
Drought out some striking facts which
show how the armor plate and projec-
tile trusts have been preying upon the
Federal treasury.
Now that the companies composing
these trusts have fallen out with each
other we may see to what extent they
carried their eStortion. 1t became so
evident that the armor plate combine
was charging the government extor-
rfonate prices that Congress made an
appropriation for the establishment of
government plant to make armor.
Inc combine has been making the
government pay 1910 for 12-inch armor-
piercing shells. and now company
that has pulled out of the trusts offers
them at $144.75. Ordinary 12-inch shells
Tor which we have been paying s195 can
now be had for sS5. ~ like proportion of
decrease in prices is shown throughout
the entire schedule. The government
mas been worked outra geously by the
makers or al'mor and projectiles. The
trusts not only squeeze the individual
cruzen at every turn but levy tribute
also from the Federal government.
How much longer will they be tolerat
ed?

THE AccUMU1ATING SURPLUS.

The adjournment of Congress without
having relieved the people of any Of
the burdensome war revenue taxes is a
matter of which the members OF tn
lower house are sure to hear a good
deal from constituents who did not rel
ish paying taxes that are piling up n
surplus of five million dollars per month
in the United States Treasury. despite
the extravagant expenditures of a most
eNtravagant administration.
Up to May 31st, the war-taxes had
produced u surplus OF sixty-t three mil
lion dollars. The following table gives
the record OF receipts and expendi-
lures for eleven months OF the present
fiscal year, or up to the first of the

IN NEW ZEALAND
ATLANTA Constitution

AEoftration is not a new thing. IT has
oeen tried in various countries, and for
long time 1t has been authorized and
Favored in many of our states. New
Zealand. however has bodily leaped for
ward with something better and more
decisive than a timid and harf- hearted
experiment.
instead OF making arbitration a vol
untary matter in labor disputes, the
View Zealand statesmen have made it
compulsory. The law on the s,.htect Is
Imperative. When there is n difference
between employers and their hands, the
question must" go to the court Of ar
oi'ratlon. There Is on alternative. Eth
er side may appeal to the court. but
pending the decision the employers
must not shut their doors. Their work
must SO on in the regular course.
Inc arbitration law went into oper-
ation about six years ago and since
mat time there has never been n labor
strike In Now Zealand, and not n single
instance OF violent conflict between
the capitalietic and laboring classes.

THAT FAMOUS OLD APPLE TREE
Savannah News.)


Not even the President of the United
States is proof against the historian
fake. it seems. In his Memorial Day adj
dress ON the Antietam battlefield Presi-
dent MCKINLEY said, among OTHER
things: MY fellow citizens, 1 am glad
and you are glad also. of that famous
meeting between Grant and Lee, at
Appomattox Courthouse. am glad that
they came together: aren't you? (Cries
Of yes, yes.) Glad that the Union was
saved by the honorable terms made
between Grant and Lee, under the ia
NOUS apple-tree. And there Is one glo-
rious fact that must always be crafty
Ing to us-American soldiers never sur
rendered but to Americans :" (Enthu-
siastic applause.)
Note that the President said, terms
made under the famous apple
tree" According to the testimony Of
both Gems. Grant and Lee, and also Of
their staff officers. the meeting took
place In the Mclean house, where the
terms were arranged after a conferen. e
lasting something like three hours. But
the testimony Of these eminent gentle
men does not seem to be powerful
enough to set at rest the myth of the
apple-tree.

While the cost Of the war with Spain,
and Of the consequent taking over of
Spain's quarrel with the Filipinos, has
not been officially footed up by the de-
partment, the CHIEF booK-keeper or the

disbursements on that account foot UP
the snug total of $3.50 600. The

the fiscal year ending June 3oth, 1899,

FOR POLITICAL EFFECT.
IN. Y. Journal Of Commerce)

1t would be more in accordance with
our sy@tem of government if the regula-
ton of corporations should come from
their creators. the States. In great
measure this is now defeated by the
privileges accorded by the courts to
non-rasident corporations. Legislation
TO prevent DISQUALIFICATION and to Sc
cure publicity ought to be secured from
the States. and will be in the course of
time. The obstacle in the way OF en-
forcing such legislation in one State is
the right conceded TO corporations or
ganized in other States. The most prac-
teal question that can be studied at
present Is how corporations shall be
made subject TO the governments Of the
States in which they do business Prob
ably this can be accomplished without
constitutional amendment. AT any
rate, the study OF this problem would
probably lead to something practicable.
while the difficulty OF amending the
Constitution Is so great that no one can
ait any time have expected any sub
stantiai results from a movement in
that direction.

Sending messages without the aid OF

Lord Roberts according 10 recent re-

has been established over sixty miles.
AS Roberts moved forward, practically
in three divisions. setting up wires over
such Il large area of country, even by
the rapid methods of field telegraph op-
orators in these days, would have been
Il slow II not an impossible work, with
detachments OF mounted Beers moving
in various directions. Tvlegraphing
without wire obviates difficulties OF this
sort. The experiments made In this

showed that this mtehod OF communi-
cation Is feasible on the water. The

| A glance at these figures shows that
the surplus for the months OF April and
May was about five million dollars.
| which will probably be the average for
the months of the Congressional inter
| regnum. This sum will not only be
taken from the people without any
show OF necessity, but will be with
drawn from circulation at a time when
such contraction will work the greatest
injury to business. The demand for
money to move the crops of the coun-
try is always heavy in the fall, but by
that time nearly one hundred million
dollars that Should never have been COL
lected. will be lying idle in the national
treasury. badly as 1t will be needed in
the channels of trade.
This condition has been maintained
despite the earnest and repeated prot est
of the business organizations and the
press of the country. The boards of
trade in the more important cities ad-
opted resolutions early in the session,
asking Congress to repeal the more obi
GUS and troublesome taxes OF the war
revenue schedule, and 1t was regarded,
at one time. as settled that this would
be done. President Mckinley was I'M
derstood to favor 1t. Then of q sudden,
and without any reason given. one OF
the famous Presidential "flops" was ex-
ecuted. and every effort to repeal any
part of the war-taxes was brought to
nothing. The change of front was, as re-
markable as In the Porto Rican case;
but unlike that case.no explanation has
been made of the executive death grip
on the surplus producing schedules. The
country is only permitted to know THAT
the schedules are still with It, and will
be with 1t at least until Congress as
sembles again.

THAT ANTITRUST AMENDMENT.
PHILADELPHIA Record)

Instead Of taking n step to reduce the
eXorbltant duties behind which the
Trusts are intrenched, however the Re-
publicans in Congress propose, in the
last hours of the session. to amuse the
country with proposition 10 amend the
Constitution so as to put these combina-
lions under the control of Congress, and
with n bill to prevent interstate COM
merce in goods produced and handled by
the Trusts. If there had been any sim
cerity in the movement the Republicans
would have introduced this amendment
and bill at the beginning OF the session.
But in bringing these measures forward
at this late hour. when their passage in
the Senate Is out of the question, the
Republican leaders hope to accomplish
n double purpose. They expect first to
deceive the public by a sham war upon
the Trusts, and next to throw con-
fusion Into the Democratic ranks in
Congress on this issue.
