AN INTERESTING PHASE.

An interesting phase OF the canvass
is cropping out in the editorial col
umns of the shrewdest OF the Demo-
cratic journals. It has appeared In the
nature Of a cynical effort to Offset the
growing strength OF Colonel Watres.
The Democratic managers and editors
have been roping all along that the
Republican party would make the mis-
take of nominating a factional candi-
date for governor, thus paving the way
to a Democratic victory, and they are
now beginning to take alarm over the
increasing enthusiasm inspired all
over the state by the candidacy Of Col
onel Watres. Leading Democrats know
well enough that with candidate like
Colonel Watres the Republicans would
carry the state by great majority and
leave no possible chance for Demo-
cratic success in any Republican dis
trict in Pennsylvania, congressional or
legislative.
There is nothing the Democratic
managers fear in politics so much as
Republican unity, and nothing they
hope for more than Republican dis
cord. It is because Colonel Watres will
unite the party if he is nominated that
they look with disfavor upon the
great headway his candidacy is max
ing. II this gives them cause for anx-
iety they will have abundant opportun-
ity for unrest. as the days go by, since
the candidacy Of Colonel Watres is the
most vital and forceful element in the
preliminary campaign and is daily
gaining in strength and popularity. In
the northeastern tier the party is es-
thusiastic in his behalf and there arc
abundant indications elsewhere in thf
state that he is regarded favorably,
and that in nominating him for gov.
ernor the Republicans would make
their success at the polls a certainty.
It isbut natural, therefore, that diplo-
matte Democrats, whose only hope Of
victory this year lies In Republican dis
sension, should look askance at the in
creasing strength Of the candidacy of
Colonel Watres and seek to discount 1t
by ingenious and misleading asser-
tions. The greatest mistake the Re-
publican managers could possibly com
NIT this year would be to nominate a
candidate who would split the party in
twain, encourage and foster faction
and stimulate the hopes OF the Democ-
racy. The nomination Of Colonel Wat
res would not do any Of these things,
and that is why 1t is one eminently fl
to be made.
DELEGATES FOR WATREs.
The friends Of Colonel Watres realize
that the best way to promote his sub
stantial interests Is by the election OF
delegates to the state convention who
viii support him for the gubernatorial
nomination. His integrity, experience
and ability are recognized everywhere
throughout the state, and his party
feaity has been demonstrated by his
services not only in his home county,
but as state senator, lieutenant gov
ernor and chairman Of the Republican
state committee. He stands for regu-
larity, and he believes that the one
word Republican" is a sufficient and
proper designation for every man who
holds to the principles Of the party. It
Is the firm conviction of those who are
best informed that with Colonel Wat
res as their candidate the reunitC Re-

made.

the officers of the Newport. The only
thing that Will account for It is some

Rural Delivery Bill Passed.

Washington, March 10.-The bill to
classify tile rural free delivery service
and pace the carriers under the con-
tract system, which has been debated
in the House for over Il week, was
passed to-day, but in II form that COM
pletely changed the purpose for which
1t was framed. Before it was passed
the bill was altered radically by its
opponents. All the provisions relating
to the placing of carriers under the
contract system We're stricken out, and
the salary system not only WINS con-
tinued, but the maximum salary of
carriers was increased from $500 to
5000 per annum. AS passed. the bill
classiiies the rural free delivery SER
vice and fixes the compensation of en-
ployes as follows: Special agents In
charge of divisions, not exceeding
S2,4UO per unnum; special agents, four
classes, graded from 1900 to $1,000;
route inspectors, four classes, from
5000 to $1,000; clerks, four classes,
from $500 to S1,2OO. The compensa.
tion Of carriers is not to exceed 5000.

THE WORLDS SUPPLY OF GOLD.
Some Interestinx Statistic as to the
Yellow Metal

It has been reckoned that in the de-
post of clay on which the city OF Phil
adelphia now stands there is sufficient
gold to gild the fronts of ali the build
ings in the place. There the amount
is SO small that it has no more pros
pective value than that contained in
the sea water. Thus, while it may be
said that wherever person may be on
the surface of the earth or on the
ocean, there is likely to be enough gold
within mile of his feet to make him
a millionaire, the places where gold
can be won at profit are relatively
few
The most important increase that is
to be looked for in vein mining arises,
however, from the rapid improvement
in the modes Of applying power to such
work The gain in this regard in the
last half century, through the inven-
ton of the power drills, more effective
explosives, better hoisting systems and
more efficient methods Of treating the
ores. Is such that, on the average, in
terms of labor it probably does not, at
present, cost third as much to
mine and treat a given amount Of ore
from underground mines as it did in
1850.
Making no allowance for future i'm
provements in mining, We may evil
IDENTIFY expect very great and rapid
increase in the annual supply of this
precious metal from the betterment al
ready effected. AS to the extent of this
gain. there is no basis for trust
worthy reckoning: but those who have
some idea of the amount of gold bear
ing veins which can, with skiliful min
ing, be made to yield profit at the
present rate Of interest will probably
be disposed to agree with me in the
opinion that, at anything like the pres
ent price of labor, the yield from this
group of deposits is likely within 20
years to exceed $5OO,OOO,OOO per an
nun.

Lost His
Rheumatism
By the use of a bottle of
St. Jacobs Oil.
Lost His

SERGEANT JEREMIAH MAHER, of Ard
cath, Royal Irish Constabulary, says: "My
friend, Mr.. Thomas Hand, has been a great
sufferer from rheumatism in the back and
joints for the last four years, during which
time he has employed many different
methods of treatment, but obtained no relief
whatever, and for the last two years has
been unable to walk without stick, and
sometimes two sticks, and was in great pain
constantly. l induced him to procure a
bottle of St. Jacobs OIL which he applied
with the most astonishing and marvellous
effects. Before he had finished using the
contents of the first bottle he could walk
readily without the aid of a stick, and after
few applications from the second bottle he
was free from pain, and has been ever since
and although fifty years of age and farmer.
he can walk and work without experiencing
any pain or difficulty whatever"

A Nasty Practice.

A nasty practice is what the Chicago
Inter Ocean calls the pasting of re-
peated layers of wall paper, one upon
another, thus covering up the filth and
germs of disease that may be propa-
gated in the very absorbent and de
caying mass of flour paste, paper,
animal glue, cOlors, etc.
They give opinions, of eminent
health officers and sanitarians, urging
that such practice should be stopped
by legal enactment, and also take oc-
casion to say that these sanitarions
recommend Alabastine as durable,
pure and sanitary coating for walls.
The Inter Ocean says: "This is a
very important question, and, as it
costs nothing to avoid this danger,
why take any chances"
How much of the alarming spread
Of smallpox and other diseases may be
due to unsanitary wall coverings?

MONEY LENDING IN THE sLUMs.
Poverty stricken People Who Pawn
Their False Teeth.

An old woman lately residing in Bir-
mingham left over 1000 to her nieces
and nephews, the money having been
earned in a peculiar fashion. Toward
her neighbors she acted the part of
money lender and pawnbroker, poor
people visiting her from remote quar-
ters of the town, the privacy of tran
sacting business in cottage appealing
to their inclinations. Willing was she
to lend small amounts on any articles
likely to be redeemed. Things that
licensed pawnbroker would not accept
found an abiding place in her garrets.
The old lady was good any day for the
loan of a shilling in the case of
strang visitor whose trustworthy char
acter could be vOuched for by a neigh
bor. In this fashion she cleaned riches
and, strange to say, escaped the atten-
tons of the police, says Tit Bits
One Of her regular patrons was a fe-
male of incorporate habits, who, with
The return of Monday morning brought
her false teeth to be cared for till the
Saturday. On these articles crown
was willingly given, an extra six pence
being required when the grinders were
again needed. During the week the
teeth were of little use to the owner,
there being no meat to masticate until
wages came in. Lots of articles equally
popular, things that legitimate pawn
broker would not consider, were hand
always threatened to acquaint the
pledger's husband were the money and
interest not readily forthcoming.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diSeas ed portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by consti-
tutional remedies Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have n rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when ID is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucus surfaces.
