Itching piles most drive you crazy.

hemorrhoids. I have suffered from
that for twenty years and during this
time doctored and used nearly all the
salves and ointments l ever heard Of
but could not get any permanent re-
lief. In the winter of 1896 I was. so
bad that 1 could hardly do my work,
and lost many hours sleep on account
of it. It was at this time that I saw
Doan's Ointment advertised and got
box. The application relieved me. 1t
never entered my mind that l could get
cured entirely, but did not then know

hard times he sees an overpowering
prosperity, terrifying even to ourselves
and appalling to our foreign rivals. he
finds the tariff the chief danger to that
prosperity and longs for its reduction.
He is no longer disturbed by even the
ghost of bimetallism. When he ap-
pealed for more economy in the nation
al expenditures we were spending $23,-
27S,4O3 on the army, $50, Sc, 661 on the

without winking an expenditure of
nearly S15O,000,OOO on the army. $751;
100000 on the navy and $5O,O0O,OO0 on
rivers and harbors.
In his regard for 1.-The principles upon
which the government was established
he has seen the fate of ten million peO-
pie on opposite sides of the world set
tied by two riders on an army appro-
priation bill. He has seen the Organi-
cation of a single trust that would
swallow all the trusts that were in ex-
.istence when he promised to take action
against them. He has plunged cheer
fully into all the entanglements of

Trust Governm nts.

Since the recent session of Congress
began the people of this country have
been RECALLED by the following interest
ing events:
The President of the United States
has been endowed with absolute, unlim-
tied and wholly irresponsible power in
the Philippines, power far more auto
cratic than any King or Emperor ever
had. The Senate and House have
trampled upon the national pledge in
respect to Cuba. The Speaker
of the House of Representatives
has assumed, in utter defiance
of the law, the right to edit the
record of Congress and expunge re-
marks uncomplimentary to a friend of
the President.
A rear admiral of the American navy
has sought to establish in the service
social distinction as basis for promo
ton, and Congress has not been sufti-
GENTLY interested to interfere.
Men have gravely and earnestly advo-
Gated in Congress and all but secured
the enactment of the infamous ship
subsidy bill-at the command of the
Standard Oil trust.
A billion dollar steel trust and a bill
lion dollar railroad trust have been
formed, both in the boldest defiance of
the laws of the United States, but no
Federal official has lifted finger to
enforce the law-at the command of
Mr.. Morgan's trust.
Russia has been insulted. injured and

A Century of LaVnn a kin cr

On Jan. 81, 1901, President Adams
appointed John Marshall of Virginia
chief justice of the Supreme Court,
which is, to use the words of the Eng
lish historian, Freeman, 1.-The only ma
tional tribunal which can sit in judg-
ment on a national law and can declare
an act of all three of the powers of the
Union to be null and void"
Every year, now, we have more new
laws than John Marshall considered
during the entire thirty-four years that
he was on the Supreme bench, says the
Saturday Evening Post. We have laws
passed by Congress, laws passed by
State Legislatures, laws passed by City
Councils and all sorts of minor regu-
latiOnS which mount up into the tens
of thousands during the twelve months.
The variety of these is as great as
the number. There are laws regulat-
ing dogs and laws concerning ele-
plants, laws about English sparrows
and laws about the great American
eagle. There are laws affecting every
thing from microbes to mammals, from
polit IS to love. If all the laws on the
books to-day were enforced the aver
age citizen would either have to stay
at home behind closed blinds or begin
4 journey to the lunatic asylum. A
hundred Marshalls would be unable to
consider every one of them or get from
them much more than a fine case Of
nervous prostration or despair.

PENNsYLvANIA's SKY FERRIES.
Queer Transit for Miners Across the
Youghiogheny River.

YouGhioGhcny River.
The sky ferry at COutersville was
one of the first to be built across the
YoughiOgheny, and it dates back to
about 1890, when eight miners formed u
stock company and built a machine.
The mechanism, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch, of the affair consists of Il
cage suspended from two travelling
wheels, which run along one-inch
steel cable stretched from bank to
bank, and frightened by means of u
simple windlass built of tinlbePs. The
cage will carry four passengers, and
the prOpelling power of the ferry is
furnished by a windlass, which is turn
ed by the passengers and winds up IL
light line, carrying the cage across the
stream.
To raise the ferry to a safe distance
above the river a platform is built, and
on this another set of machinery is
placed, so that If the ferry is on the on
pOsite side of the river and passenger
wishes to cross, he can wind the ma
chine over to him and then make the
trip across the stream.
The sensation of swinging out over
the river in one of these ferries is rath-
err startling. as the machine starts out
from the bank with swoop that car
ries it half way across, or to the lowest
part Of the slack of the cable. Then the
Traveller has to wind up the windlass to
reach the other shore No accident has
ever happened on any of these ferries,
but at Coultersville they tell story Of
a miner who, after an argument with
his wife, in which he was getting the
worst of il" escaped to the ferry threw
off the windlass line, and allowed the
machine to coast to the middle, where
he was safe.
According to the story, and it loses
nothing in the telling, the woman bonn
barded him with stones for an hour,
but woman was never noted for her
accuracy in throwing stones, and the
man laughed at her invitation to come
ashore and take his licking like man.
Then new factor in the case turned
up as a group of hungry miners reach
ed the shore and those on shore were
unable to reach him. BY this time the
woman had become tired of her exer-
else, and the man solved the problem Of
his own escape by falling out of the
cage into the river, to be dragged out"

fsnaaker Henderson as Censor.

The break made by Speaker Hender-
son, when he referred the speech of one
member to the censorship of another,
from which he was forced 20 retreat
without apology, deserves the most Sc
we're censure. The right of free and
unlimited debate in Congress stands
high above every other right. 1t is the
one forum in which they have the right
to speak their sentiments. There is only
one censorship to which the floor of the
House and the pages of the Record
should be subject-public opinion. That
agency has equal power to punish or to
reward, and as long as it is left free it
will have no need of the superservice-
able assistance of Speaker Henderson.

From McKin1ey to Mckinley.

From Mckinley to Mckinley.
The President recently inaugurated
Is the same man who was inauguFated
four years ago, but in all essential re-
spects the difference between the cere-
mony of March 4, 1897, and that Of
March 4, 1901, is as profound as the
difference between the coronation of
Queen Victoria and that of King Ed
ward VII.
The Mckinley who took the oath TO
abide by the Constitution four years
ago was absorbed in the traditions of
domestic American politics. In his in
augural address he hardly looked be-
yond low water mark. He spoke of the
hard times in which the country was
submerged, and urged financial legisl~-
ton and a high protective tariff as the
most promising remedies. He thought
that our currency ought all to be kept
at par with gold, but promised to do all
he could for international bimetallism.
He protested against lavish eXpendi-
lures. He stood by the Constitution
and the Declaration of independence
He pledged himself and his party to the
effective regulation of trusts.
He affirmed his faith in ''the policy of
non-interference with foreign govern
ments, wisely inaugurated by Wash
ington, keeping ourselves free from en-
tanglement, either as allies or foes, con-
tent to leave undisturbed with them the
settlement of their own domestic con-
GERMS" He laid down the principle:
Eve want no wars of conquest; we
must avoid the temptation of territorial
aggression" ay

similar incident between the Cameron

she grows moody and sullen. If John

The best hope for tariff reform is in
the antagOnism of the tariff beneficial
ries, as where the care for the sugar
trust has run counter to the interests of
