The people, some OF them at least,
like to be humbugged, even as Show
man Barnum used to observe. From
time to time advertisements appear in
the papers OF absent Treatment Cures"
wherein some enterprising individual
does solemnly agree to cure all mortal
ailments from ingrown toonails to lep-
rosy simply through the agency of his
most magnetic mind-not neglecting to
mention that payment must be made in
advance. That the advertisements should
appear is not strange, for It's habit OF
men towards men to hoodwnk them
whenthey can. But that these impostors
should find victims so numerous is pass
ing strange. One OF these healers exhi-
bits sworn testimonials to the effect that
"by earnest thought the healer had
caused third set of teeth to grow in his
patient" Another AYERS that after six
teen days Of the healer's mind treat
ment, hair had grown on bald head
Of twenty-seven years standing. For,
tunately for the people-the unim-
aginative ones-Uncle Sam is conserva-
tive to the very core and, failing to
see the reasonableness of this modern
method of healing, bluntly calls it fake
and denies the use OF the mails to such
as are detected.

Old fogyism has pretty strong grip
on us, perhaps for evil, perhaps for
good, and does not seem to mind much
the rawlings of countless magazines and
journals devoted to protest against the
ways of this staid old world. But fogy-
ism drives men mad sometimes and the
madness appears in the nonsensical
names and notices adopted by the re-
form magazines. Out In Colorado a
brilliant hued journal Is issued an
nouncing itself as a 'pungent periodi-
cal of pessimistic propensities published
on principle in the interest of the per-
verted and the pious, the pauper and
the prince" Another calls itself "a
journal of protest" and devotes page
after page to mere fault finding with no
other aim than to find fault, and as It Is
all written by one man, one is inclined
10 remark that "he doth protest too
much" This journal assures the pub
lie that 1t is "mole-hlind, stupid thing,
right only in its instincts" and some
$4,000 people seem to approve this sem
timent by subscribing for 1t. Which
seems to show that the profession Of
protesting is paying one.

The present indications are that there
will he Republican candidates galore
next spring for the various county offices
to be filed, excepting the Office OF pro-
thonotary, and 1t Is not Mt all likely
that Cyrus n. Blood the present In
cumbent, will have any opposition Tor
the nomination for n second term. MIR.
Blood pays strict attention to business
and has proven himself to be 80 com
petent and accommodating during his
present term that Il would be waste
of time and money for any other Repub-
lican 10 be candidate for prothonotary
In 1902, and we believe this fact Is so
we'll known that no Republican, matters
not how anxious he may be to run for
the nomination, will announce himself
against Mr.. Blood, for he certainly has
the lead for next time.

This is very practical age in which
1t is .aken for granted that all men are
born free and unequal, but it is hard to
understand why the English nation,
noted ever for its sound, shrewd views
Of life, should persist in allowing their
ancestors to think for them in one par
ticular-the veneration paid to one who
happens to be born in the family OF an
aristocrat. There was time when
war was the business OF mankind
when the lords Of England had mis-
sion in the world, when veneration for
them was as reasonable as it was pru-
dent-but that was all long ago. The
Duke OF York, heir to the throne, has
just completed trip around the world,
and wherever he stopped, his trip was
a continual ovation. Yet what has he
ever done to merit the applause of the
world9 He happened to be born in the
family of noble, and the English ma
tion takes 1t for granted that the child
of lord has by birth all those accom-
plishments which others can obtain
only by constant endeavor and study.
1t is nonsense, but the delusion is COM
plete, and the aristocracy, absolutely
useless now, thrives on the taxes of the
masses of the nation. Some day the peo-
pie will awaken and when they do the
streets of England will run with blood
even as the streets OF France did in the
demon dance OF fury one hundred years
ago, when poverty, rags and common
sense clinched In death struggle with
o useless aristocracy swapping the life
of the nation,

HOW MUCH 1T WILL COST.
The Public Library and Municipal
Expenditures.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has offered a
public library TO Carbondale, provided
It. will take care of It. This care will
be $500 yearly. We now pay $500
yearly for our library; 500 direct, 800
in printing (blnding) and the use of a
$500 q year room. The added expense
will only be sl,1O0 year, ar about
opc-half q mill on the assessed Nalu1-
lion. What will IL cost you? If you
have an occupation tax of $ljO, 1t viii
cost about seven cents year. If your
property is assessed at $500 it will cost
YOU twenty-five cents; If thousand,
then fifty cents, aud on only those few
whose property is assessed at $1,000
will the tax be one dollar a year or
two cents per week. one public-spir-
tied citizen, who has assessed to him
some $4,000, will pay S25 yearly, and
yet he says have the library, and he
offers a free site for 1t. God bless
him!
Now little about the city'S cXpendi-
tures. Last year there was appro-
priated 1886; this year the commit
Tee have recommended an ordinance
that cuts these appropriations to SAL
600. This cut is made by the reduce
deemed and $500 in assessors expenses.
This appropriation covers all needful
expenses and the constituents of each
councilman ought to urge that 1t be
passed IN it's present economical shape,
and not loaded down with eXtrava-
giant, unnecessary things.
Another year, by reason of fewer
damage suits, less interest and by the
completion of some permanent work,
II will be possible to lower this by
$4,000 or $4,000. This will make il
possible to use $1,000 or $4,000 in per-
manent improvements and still keep
our budget down to $40 oOO0-a limit
that should not be exceeded until VIC
become a larger city. $4,000 equals
just about So for each inhabitant. The
above figures keep III mind the library
and all really useful expenditures.

Diseased nerves are traCeable directly
TO poor digestion, and poor digestion is
directly traCaablc to Catarlh. With this
slightest catarrh of the stomach no ons
can have good digestion.
Very few of the many women Whu
have catarrh of the stomach suspect
what their real trouble is. They know
they belch after meals, have sous
stomach, n sensation of weight or
heavness, a fullness. irregular appe-
tite. droN siness. Snawing, empty sem
sations, occasional pain--they all know
this: but they do not know that their
trouble is catarrh of the stomach. It
they did they would take Pcruna.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. Az soon as Peruna removes
catarrh from the stomach the digestion
becomes good, appetite regular, nerves
strong, and trouble vanishes. Pcruna
strengthens weak nerves. not by tenn
porarily stimulating them. but by re-
moving the cause OF weak nervcs-poor
digestion. This is the only cure that
lasts. Remove the cause: Nature will
do the rest. Peruna removes the cause.
