"Pain in the head and back is a form
of suffering with which so many women
are familiar. Often this pain is asso-
ciated with nervousness, sleeplessness
and loss of appetite. The cause of such
suffering is generally to be traced to
arrangement of the womanly function,
or a diseased condition of the delicate
wonanly organs.
In such cases the action of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is marvellous in
the prompt relief of pain and permanent
cure of disease. 1t regulates the peri
odic function, dries disagreeable drains,
heals inflammation and liberation, and
cures female weakness. 1t cures when
all other means have been tried in vain.
Sick women are invited to consult DR..
Pierce, by letter, FREE. All correspond
ence is held as strictly private and
sacredly confidential. Address DIR. r. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
In little over thirty years DR.. Pierce,
assisted by his staff of nearly a score of
physicians, has cured more than half a
million women.

tored all the time with a number of different

Everyone must regret the death of
Governor Leary, late of the island of
Guam. Capt. Leary was a successful
governor and a valiant fighter His
determined attitude in 1888, towards
the Germans who seemed likely to
seize the Samoan islands, was fair
indication that there was good stuff III
him, and when he took up the gov
eminent of Guam, most peculiar
place with peculiar customs, he in
augurated peculiar government
which served well III spite of some
features which looked the least bit
like opera bouffe.

From ten to fifteen million dollars
worth of fruit products are yearly
shipped from Southern California, a
country which was in many places al
most desert until water was applied
to it from it's numerous streams.
There are still large tracts west of
the Missouri River, amounting to mil
lions of acres, which are awaiting de-
velopment through the application of
water. In time these lands will be
the homes of large populations adding
their share to the business and devel-
opment of the country, when the riy-
ers which run through them are used
to make the land fit for agriculture
and life. Many of these streams are
now being studied by the hydro

AWFUL WRECK.

New York, Jan. S.-Two passenger
trains collided this morning in New
York Central tunnel near siXty-tifth
st. Ambulances were called for.
The trains were II New Haven and
Hartford and New York Central and
Harlem. The accident occurred at
20, and is supposed to have been
due to fog. Screams of agony from
the tunnel gave the alarm to the po-
lice. Ambulalccs and firemen were
called. 1t was found that the Har-
lem engine had ploughed through the
rear car of the other trains. The
scene was horrible. The car was Gov

THE CANAL DISCUSSION.

The battle of the canals uniting the
Atlantic and Pacific, begins in Con-
gress with the consideration of the
Hepburn bill, providing for the con-
struction of the proposed Nicaraguan
waterway.
The French company building the
canal by the Panama route has made
certain propositions for the sale of
its franchise and property to the
United States. The Walker commits
sion appointed by Congress to investi-
gate again the whole subject Of the
construction of an isthmian canal,
including cost and route, reported in
favor of Nicaragua. The Panama
route was condemned, chiefly because
of the largely increased cost of con-
struction and certain conditions in the
treaties permitting the building of
the canal through the territory of the
State of Colombia The price de-
manded by the Panama company, Over
$109, 600, 900, for its franchise and
property, would make the cost of
completing the canal over 1868, 600, 600
greater than the estimated cost of
building the canal by the Nicaraguan
route, although the distance by the
Panama route was much shorter.
Certain conditions of forfeiture of
ownership of the canal to the govern
x.qn .1. 4. -. f..,l
Rod of time alone rendered the Pam
anna route impracticable. Hence the
commissions recommendation of the
Nicaraguan project as the most prac-
ticable and feasible
On the reassembling of Congress af-
ter the holiday recess the situation
was entirely changed. The French
company had reduced its price for its
franchise and work done on the Pan
anna canal from $l09, 600, 600 to $40, 600, =
600, including, also, the Panama
railroad. Instead of costing $63, 900, =
600 more than by the Nicaragua route,
the canal via the isthmus of Panama
under this proposition, would cost
some So, 900, 900, less, with a railroad
thrown in. The estimated annual
cost of maintaining and operating a
canal between Colon and Panama is
81, 300, 600 less than by way of San
Juan River and Lake Nicaragua.
This new offer of sale, on the eve
of the consideration of the Hepburn
bill, has produced a great commotion
in the ranks of the supporters of the
proposition to build the canal from
Greytown on the Caribbean to BritC
on the Pacific. The offer is regarded
with extreme suspicion by the parti
sans Of the Nicaraguan route. BY
them it is characterized as a measure
for still longer delaying the construc
ton of the canal by this route 1t i
denounced as a scheme Matched by tn,
trans continental railways to proven
the construction of any canal. Ever
if the French company can give
clear title to its property, and the gov
eminent of France will stipulate tina
no claim shall be made on the Unite
States on the part of the great bod
of holders of the stock of the compan
in France, it is set forth that tn
treaties with Colombia in reference t
the building of the canal render tn
offer of the Panama Canal Compan
entirely nugatory.
On the other hand the contention
hat the offer to sell for $40, 600, on
is made in good faith, is a straigh
out business proposition, and that ne
treaties with Colombia can be neg

Those who think it an easy matter
to deal effectively with trusts by
statutory enactment should note the
fact that the anti-tru law passed by
the Mississippi Legislature at its
last session has already been abandon
ed by the Attorney General of the
State who has asked the dismissal of
all proceedings instituted under it.
1t seemed to be a carefully drawn
law, but the attempt to put it into
operation has quickly shown it to be
fatally defective and ineffective.

Perhaps Mr.. Redmond takes coun-
sci of his hopes rather than of the
facts, when he assures Irishmen that
has succeeded in his American mis-
sion. The Irish League, he says,
will be as powerful in this country
within six months as the American
Land League of Parnell's day ever
was. How far he may have secured
the cooperation of those whom he
describes as Irish Americans he prob
ably is better aware than anyone else ;
but when he speaks of the American
people generally as being in sympathy
with the cause he surely is drawing
long bow. Popular enthusiasm is
easily aroused by an effective speaker !;
but the resolutions of mass meetings
are not always carried out in the re-
action which the dull cold light of
day brings. Americans were hospi-
table to Mr.. Redmond, and no doubt
many of them have a vague idea that
Ireland ought to be free. But if
the Irish are counting on active help
from this nation as a whole they are
making mistake.

According to the Washington CORE
spondent of the Tribune, several big
New York corr orations have offered
Secretary Gage salaries much larger
than that of the President of the
United States, if, Oh retirement, he
will enter their service. The CORE
spondent says that Mr.. Gage will not
accept any of these offers, but has
decided to return to live i'll Chicago,
where he will probably be connected
with one of the large banks. The
correspondent adds that Mr.. Gage eX-
pected to retire from the cabinet even
had President Mckinley lived. All
this gees to show that Secretary Gage
is not a money seeker. AS matter of
fact we believe he received an offer
to go to New York and become the
head of one of its large banks at a
$50, 600 salary some years before he
became secretary of the treasury.
In other words, the implication that
it is his record in Office which has
brought him to the notice of New
York is unwarranted. Secretary Gage
was recognized as banker Of the very
highest ability long before he was
called to the cabinet, and it is pity
that his duties as secretary of the
treasury did not more largely consist
in formulating a new banking policy
for the country. In other words,
when such man takes such an office,
Congress should have the advantage
of his special expert ability, and not
simply regard him as political tinan-
cier.

President Roosevelt no longer recog-
nizes the claims of those who assert
they were promised certain things by

that he was badly imposed upon be-
fore he shut down on that class of
Office seekers.

The postal reforms urged by Post
master General Smith will be pushed
by his successor, and the President is
reported to be ardently in favor of
them. One cent postage is one of
them. For many years there has been
a widespread popular desire to have
the letter postage rates cut to cent
Both parties have favored it in their
national platforms There is no doubt
that the reduction will be made at an
early day, though possibly it will not
be accomplished i'll this session of
Congess. The great increase in the
number of letters which the reduction
from the three to the two cent mark
caused would be repeated, it is rea-
sonable to suppose, by cut to a one
cent rate.
