In some of the Swiss valleys the nhabi.
tants are all afflicted with goitre or 'thick
neck" Instead of regarding this as de.
formity they seem to think it natural fea-
ture of physical development, and tourists
passing through the valleys are sometimes
jeered by the goitrous inhabitants, because
they are without this offensive swelling.
Thus form of disease may become so com.
mon that it is regarded as a natural and
necessary condition of life. 1t is so, to a
large extent, with what are called diseases
of women. Every woman suffers more or
less from irregulariry, liberation, debilita-
ting drains. or female weakness, and this
suffering is so common and so universal that
many women accept it as condition natural
and necessary to their sex. But it is con-
dition as unnatural as it is unnecessary. The
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
strengthens the delicate womanly organs
and regulates The womanly functions, so that
woman is practically delivered from The pain
and misery which eat up ten years of her
life-between the ages of fifteen and forty
five. "Favorite Prescription makes weak
women strong and sick women well.

TIE HILL 1ERGEB AND COMPETITION,

III hALG MHNNNEh A@'0
The state Of Minnesota In its case
against the Northern Securities company
is introducing evidence of the most posi-
tive character, showing that b I'M
mediate result of the merger Of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
systems was the contamination of its
purpose to abolish competition. The
local agents of the road testify on The
witness stand that competition ceased,
and to cap the climax they exhibit the
original orders directing the cancella-
ton of the competitive rates which up
to that time had been in effect on both
systems.
Yet it has been only a short time
since the responsible officers Of those
companies, the very men who conceived
and engineered the merger, were pro-
testing before the court and in other
public declarations that the result had
not been in restraint Of competition, or
disclaimed all knowledge of it. Presi-
dent Hill went so far as to emphasize
the point that the real competition that
he had to take into account remained in
the Suez canal and other ocean routes,
although how that could affect in an
important degree transportation interests
at local points on the merged lines he
was careful not to explain. 1t is simply
impossible to reconcile these statements
with the indisputable facts. Nor car
they be explained on the principles of
fair-dealing which obtain in ordinary
business.
The purpose to restrain compe-
tition was inherent in the very con
ditions of the merger transaction. Apart
from the facts established by direct
proofs beyond a peradventure, it is alb
surd to suppose, as the promoters with
sober faces ask us to suppose, that the
merger had any other purpose what
soever. That some administrative
economies could be effected by a com
bination under one control of the two
great parallel competing systems is nc
doubt true, but they are only a drop
in the bucket and preposterously in.
adequate to sustain the vast burden of
capitalization that has been saddled
upon the merger. This is the essence
of the whole thing and the suppression
Of competition the means of attaining
the end, as the very nature Of the
scheme and its necessary and now estab
lished results demonstrate. 30 t ..,,a

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT.

with the name of American Catholic" that
being the official designation of his church.
They have to get up early to beat Lige.
Chicago Chronicle: A visiting jurist has
been discussing the legal phases Of the trial
Of Jesus before Pontius PLATE and reaches
the conclusion that they were highly irreg-
ular. That is probably true. According to
modern lights Pontius ought to ave issued
an Injunction against the Savior and then
put him in Jail for contempt Of court.
Church Economist; A metropolitan
church has adopted the method of painting
an advertising sign on its building wall to
call the attention to it of the passerby. The
sign which has just been placed on the
south wall Of the Manhattan Congregational
church is probably the first Of its kind that
has ever been seen in New York. The Rev.
DIR. H. A. Stimson, the pastor, was asked
why the sign was painted. He replied:
1.-The Manhattan church believes in calling
the attention OF the people in It's ~neighbor-
hood to the fact that the church is there.
We have signs on the front of the church.
and a short time ago one OF our officers
thought that we should take advantage OF
the fact that the lot on the south of our
building was vacant and put a large sign,
one that could be seen way down Broadway,
on our south wall. This officer was so IA
vorably impressed with the idea that he
offered to pay for the painting OF the sign
and his offer was accepted" Another i'm
mense and very artistic sign is painted on
the south wall OF the Young Mems Chris
tian association building in West Fifty
seventh street.
