friends Of N. A. HOgarty Of Lexington,
yellow. His skin slowly changed COL
or, also his eyes, and he suffered terri
bly. His malady was Yellow Jaundice.
He was treated by the best doctors but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters. the wonderful
Stomach and Liver remedy, and he
writes: after taking two bottles
was wholly cured" A trial proves its
matchless merit for all Stomach. Liver

The County wsn.

The cas-. Of Whalen II al against
RIO Gran,le County hss been
pending in the courts for some
thing over four years. Taxes had
BEEN nssrssed against the Empire
Canal, hut afterwards 1t had h.-n
held exempt In III. meantime
the county treasurer sold IT aud
issued certificates If purchase Il"
the county. W. I. Lsmb-r, pur.
chased these for $2.l37.95. The
county offered To repay what it
received hut the plaintiffs de-
manded rs per cent annual inter
est. At that rate the claim
amounted to something over So
900, when suit was brought, but
now 1t Is nearly $1,000.
The Supreme Court handed
down an opinion in the case last
Monday reversing the judgment
given by Judge Bailey at Canon
City holding that the ststu 9
allowing the purchaser 25 per
cent interest, was unconstitutional
because the title of the act did not
embrace that provision. The ACT
cOn' aiming that section WAS en-
titled IAN act TO provide for the
assessment aud collection of rev.
enue." The court holds that the
objectional provision is no. one to
get money into the treasury but
rather to disburse that already
there.
The plaintiffs can take their
pound OF flesh but nothing more.
Before the case WAS brought the
legislature had recognized the
injustice Of allowing such al ex-
orbitant rate OF interest aud cut
1t down to 8 per cent.
That. however, would only apply
to land sold after the new law
WAS adopted.

For six months the business
world has stood still aud looked
with amazement at the wonderful
prosperity Of concentrated capital.
Never in the history of time have
such fortunes been made - dur.
ing the past few months. Aud
these fortunes have not been by
the production Of wealth but specu.
lation, which means that all that
has been made in the rise of stocks
must ultimately come out of pro.
ductive labor. In fact IL il the

rOLsrOIs noble APPEAL.

Count Tolstoi has Gone much
for humanity. He has b..-u n
heroic figure in his time, aud
although he has been excomuuni.
Gated by his church and exiled by
his country, he will live in hi.tor,
~ one Of the greatest Of men.
Tolstoi's most recent notable
action was to address a letter to
the Czar of Russia IN which the
great humanitarian made this
striking appeal:
"Why will you fight with what
you can never subdue by force,
instead of covering your name with
imperishsble fame by tresding the
way Of justice? You protect in.
justice, sire.
Free the peasant from the
brutal tyranny Of the officials; give
him equal rights with other ranks
do away with the present police
system, which demoralizes society,
degrades the empire and breeds
spies and informers. Do away
with restraints on education, SO
that the road to enlightenment
may lie open to all. Prohibit no
man from having his free belief.
aud let religious persecution
cease"
1t is indeed strange that the
monarch who has taken 30 pro-
nounced a stand in favor OF peace
as the Car Of Russia has should
neglect the opportunity suggested
by Tolstoi. It is strange that this
monarch has not exerted himself
in the direction Of making his
own subjects happy. As Tols,oi
says, the Gar Of Russia has an
opportunity to cover himself with
imperishsble fame il he will but do
those things that will best con.
tribute to the happiness of his
people. What, indeed. is the
prestige Of a crown that depends
solely upon the sword for its
existence? How much greater,
how much happier, il the monarch
whose authority and power do not
depend upon the oayonet. but
whose government is supported
because OF the happiness aud the
contentmsnt OF the people over
whom he rulsaL-The Commoner.
