NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.

Hester, Mo-, Dec. 16.-An unusual
case which has recently come to
light here is exciting the keenest in
terest among medical men. Mrs. FL
Tenor Guardhouse suffered for over
forty years with Sciatic rheumatism
so severely and so constantly that her
case has been regarded as chronic
and absolutely incurable. At times
the pain was almost unbearable and
she could not rest day or night.
Some few months ago she was in
duced to try Dodd,s Kidney Pills, a
remedy recently introduced in this
neighborhood. The immediate re-
suits were magical and she continued
till she had taken eight boxes, and
now she declares she has not an ache
or pain left She believes that she is
completely and permanently cured
and as she has not used the pills for
some months and is to-day in the
best of health the doctors, who were
at first skeptical, are amazed.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

An unjust tariff makes an over
flowing Washington Post.
The demand that the tariff shall
be revised by the friends of the system
seems to mean that, while nobody else
is to have anything to do with it's re-
vision, its friends are too good friends
to touch it.-Milwaukee Free Press.
The surplus in the treasury since
July is over $4,000, 900, the greatest
that has ever accumulated in that
space of time. Such a condition is a
great encourager of-extravagance and
a positive aid in promoting schemes
like the subsidy bill. - Indianapolis
News Ond.).
An urgent question in politics now
is, how long will a leader of Mr.. Han
mas ability and dominant qualities
"grin and bear it, under President
.Roosevelt's management of the ap-
pointments? The senator has already
gulped violently several times.-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.
If there is no tariff revision at
the coming session of congress, no
recognition of reciprocity, and no re-
duction in the revenues such as will
prevent surplus, the elections of
1890 and 1892 will be duplicated in
1902 and 1904 and the republican par
ty be swept from power. The deluge
will come.-Chicago Journal (Rep.).
At a recent meeting of the Indi-
ana democratic committee the mem
bers agreed in the belief that the
money question would have no place
in the state campaign, and that the
fight should be made along the lines of
tariff reform and opposition to trusts.
In the congressional districts this is to
be the only issue, and free silver will
have no place in the campaign.-N. Y.
Post.
-Protectionists are afraid that
any trade concessions to Cuba will
make "a breach in the walls. Perhaps
it would, as the supporters of the
infant industries" adversely affected
would be disposed to throw the
weight of their influence toward the
reduction of other duties. It would
be blessing if the new relationship
of Cuba could be used to force lower
duties all around. Indianapolis

''This is a fine country for a poor

Emperor,s Gift to Harvard.

The Berlin correspondent of the LON
don Times and the New York Times
says that as a token of interest in the
Germanie museum at Harvard univer-
sity, Emperor William is having pre-
pared for presentation to Harvard a
unique collection of plaster casts. The
casts will duplicate some of the finest
German medieval stonework, such as
the tracery in the choir of the Halber-
stadt cathedral.
