CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post (Dem) says;
Nov, just because the coal strike is
ended the public needn't think that it
is to get coal at a reasonable figure.
The strike cost nearly $3.50, 600, 900, and
this will have to be made back to the
operators and the miners in the shape
of increased revenues to the one class
and of increased wages to the. other.
The people of the country will con-
tribute to the payment. That's where
they come in onsthese contentious"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: 1.-The President has earned and
deserved the gratitude of the whole
country by his successful effort to Sc
cure from anthracite operators and
strikers common basis of settlement.
The miners will get arbitration of their
grievances at the hands of fair and
combetent arbiters. The operators Sc
cure for themselves peace, the liberty
to do business for the next three years,
and a large hold upon the public con-
fidence by reason of their final hui
name acquiescence in the necessity of
concessions. The people will get coal
the main thing"
The New York Evening Post (Ind.)
says: POSTMASTER General Payne is
the latest members of the administra-
ton to exhibit alarm about the rising
demand for tariff revision. He is in the
West where he found such a state of
combined anger and panic in the party
that he was forced to speak soothing
words. "Why, bless your troubled
hearts, he said, "the President is in
favor of tariff revision" To prove it,
he asserted that Mr.. Roosevelt's an
nual message probably would recon-
mend a reduction of import duties up
on products which no longer need pro-
lection. How magnanimous! And
how likely it is that the Western Re
publicans who are talking openly of
the blood-money and piracy of protec-
ton will be appeased by this soft
spoken 'probably!' If that does not
assuage their wrath, Mr.. Payne is
ready with another evasion of what
Gov. Cummins and the Iowa Republi-
cans declare to be an immediate duty
He bangles before them a permanent
tariff commission to gather informal
ton and submit reports' This is
laughably inapt. Why give a protec-
tion-ridden Congress a chance to snap
its fingers in the face of one more
Postmaster General Payne seriously.
That he and his colleagues are seri-
Ously alarmed. however. at the way in
which the tariff Is eating into their
party like fire. his attempt to put out
the conhagration with rose-water
makes sufficiently clean"

A NATION OF DRUNKARps.

Lady Henry Somerset, President of
the Worlds Womans Christian Tenn
perance Union, who arrived at New
York a few days ago in prosecution of
her life's work. is ashamed of her ma
tive country. England: and not
only of England but of the United
Kingdom. It is "a nation of drunk
ards" she unhesitatingly declares, and
it is rapidly growing worse in its APP
petite for strong drink. The govern
ment, she says, is in the hands of brew
ers and liquor dealers, and politicians
who are connected with these interests
directly or indirectly. The most dis
tressing circumstance, to Lady Henry,
is that the British women are becoming
greater drinkers than the men. Fiji
teen years ago, she says, the proportion
of persons arrested for drunkenness
was four men to one woman; now it is
three women to one man. She thinks
one of the chief reasons for the in
crease of the drink habit among wo~
men is that there is too much privacy
about drinking places; the women find
it possible to get their liquors without
being seen. and they take advantage of
the opportunity. And with the increase
in drinking, especially among women,
there has been a corresponding increase
in crime.
This is a terrible arraignment of the
British people, by one who seems to
be in a position to speak with author
ity, since she devotes her time to study
ing the question and has abundant ia
cilities for gathering data. Yet, if the
country is in such a bad way, and is so
dominated by one of the worst of all
evil influences, one cannot help wonder
ing how it is that the British people
maintain their high position in COM
merce, finance, war and the admins
tration of justice. If the country has
become a nation of drunkards." and
the deterioration has been so rapid in
the past fifteen years, it seems that the
facts would have made themselves seen
through the weakening of the whole
moral and physical fiber of the coun-
try and the undermining of the admin
| istration of the courts of law. Yet the
British have just won a war which de-
manded feats of physical endurance.
| they are as proud of their honor as
| ever and the verdicts of their courts
| are the admiration of the civilized
world for their even-handed justice
| Could nation of drunkards" be cap
| able of these things? Possibly Lady
| Henry Somerset in her eagerness to
impress her hearers with the import
| ance of her work, has over-estimated
the gravity of the situation. Lady
| Henry, by the way, has been engaged
| in temperance work for quite number
| Of years and has waged a spirited and
| relentless warfare against the drink
| evil during all of that time. And in
this period of her strenuous efforts, the
drink evil has ragged abroad in the land,
making victims of even the women, in
| ever increasing numbers! What must
| have been the fate of poor Britain had
not Lady Henry taken up the work
with so much will? Would it long ago
| have staggered, naudlin and blear-
| eyed into a drunkard's grave?

AGAINST GOVERNMENT OWNER
SHIP.

Mr.. Coler, the Democratic nominee
/ for Governor of New York, doesn't
wholly approve the plank in the plat
form on which he was nominated that
calls for government ownership of :he
anthracite coal mines of Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday night, at the Tilden
Club, in New York city, when he was
notified Of his nomination, he utilized
the opportunity to say that every
method known to the law and every
latent power in the state and national
legislatures should be employed to pre-
vent a recurrence of the deplorable
situation in the Pennsylvania coal
fields before there should be a move
ment in the direction of government
ownership of the mines.
Only day or two ago former Gov.
Hill, in a speech opening the campaign,
took occasion TO approve the govern
ment ownership plank. The fact that
the man who dominated the nominat-
ing convention and the head of the
ticket differ as to one of the most i'm
portant planks in the platform makes
a rather interesting situation for the
Democratic party in New York.
1t is certain, however, that there are
very many Democrats of the state who
do not approve the government owner
ship plank. Indeed, it is a question
if a majority of them are not against
it. 1t is stated as a fact that there
is no reference to the plank in the
instructions given to the Tammany
orators, and there is no mention of
it in the Democratic campaign book
1t is, of course, too soon to say that
it was a mistake to put the plank in
the platform. 1t is probable that if it
had been submitted to Mr.. Hill at a
time when he was free to give it
thorough consideration, his judgment
would have been against it, but it
came to his notice just as the Plat
form Committee was ready 10 make
cations to support tito make the best
of it, as it We're.
The refusal of the head of the ticket
to accept it no doubt has the approval
of majority of the leaders. He would
hardly have gone into such a detailed
explanation of his reasons for reject
ing it If he had not consulted the lead
ers of the party in regard to it. OF
course the Republicans think they have
a strong point against the Democrats,
and on all occasions they are dragging
this government ownership plank to
the front. It may turn out, however,
that they are making a mistake in
doing so. There is no telling how the
voters will view it. Their experience
with coal since the strike began in
the anthracite fields may lead them to
take the position that as they do not
want another coal famine the wise
thing to do is to assist the movement
in the direction of government owner
ship of the anthracite coal mines.

PERSONAL.

Paris is to have a new statue of
Gavarni, the caricaturist, soon. A
Gavarni bali will be given in his hon
or and to pay for the statue, in which
the costumes he drew will be worn.
Gavarni was as much the historian
of Louis Philippe's reign as John Leech
was of the first part of Queen Vic
tOrias
AT the recent German military ma
neuvers near Frankfort-on-the- Oder,
the Kaiser distributed a number of his
private brand of cigars to soldiers,
sentries, outposts and pickets. When
ever he found an isolated soldier he
stopped a moment, had a chat with him
and left behind one of his cigars. These
cigars are made from Havana leaf,
are five inches in length and cost his
imperial majesty 80 cents each.

Will Interest Everybody.
Or at Least Everyone who Suffers
From Catarrh.

Catarrh in its various forms is a ma
tional disease, and the fact that near
ly everybody suffers from it more or
less leads many to neglect its proper
treatment.
Nasal catarrh is a common cause of
headaches, destroys sense of smell and
if neglected reaches the throat, causing
impairment and sometimes total loss
OF voice. Bronchial catarrh leads easily
to consumption Catarrh of stomach
and liver are very serious and obsti-
nate troubles, while it is now generally
admitted that catarrh is the most COM
mon of all causes of deafness.
All of the more serious forms of ca
tarrh begin with nasal catarrh the To-
cal symptoms, being a profuse dis
charge, stoppage Of nostrils, irritation
and frequent clearing of the throat,
sneezing. coughing and gagging.
The old style of treatment with
douches. inhalers, sprays, salves. etc,
simply give temporary relief and ev-
eryone who has used any of them
knows how useless they are and their
inconvenience is such that very few
have the time or patience to continue
their use.
A radical cure of catarrh can only
be obtained from a treatment which
removes the catarrhal faint from the
blood because no one will now dispute
that catarrh is constitutional or
blood disease, and local applications
can have no effect except to tempo
rarily relieve local symptoms.
A new remedy which has been re-
markedly successful in curing catarrh
is a pleasant tasting tablet which is
taken internally and acts upon the
blood and mucous membranes.
1t is composed of antiseptic remedies
like Red Gum, Blood root and similar
cleansing specifis, which eliminate the
catarrhal poison from the system.
The tablets being pleasant to the
taste are dissolved in the mouth and
thus reach the throat, trachea and
finally the stomach and entire alimen-
tary canal. They are sold by drug
gists everywhere under the name of
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets.
If desired, when there is much stop
page of the nose, the tablets may be
dissolved in warm water and used as a.
douche in addition to internal use, but
few dissolved in the mouth daily will
be sufficient. DR.. Ainslee says "The
regular daily use of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets taken internally will cure the
whole catarrhal trouble without resort
ing to the inconvenience of a douche
or an inhaler"
They seem to give a healthy tone to
the whole mucous membrane and it is
really remarkable how soon they will
clear the head and throat of the unnat-
ural and poisonous catarrhal secretion.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is I'M
doubtedly the safest, most palatable
and certainly the most efficient and
catarrh

Start Right.

From the Newark News.
Two boys from childhood, sheltered
lane
Into life's highway strobe,
And each had naught but hand and
brain
To help him win the road.
''Come on!" cried one. Here's luck
forsooth.
There's work for miles ahead!"
Less eager stood the other youth.
Consider first" he said.
Consider well before you waste
Your wears in fruitless toll.
Find out your calling; do not haste:
The work ahead won't spoil"
"'Tis waste of time to linger here"
The first boy made reply.
He dropped a sad and pensive tear
And bade his friend goodbye.
The other waited by the way,
Determining his bent.
And when his calling called one day
He straight to fortune went.
Pray do not think the eager one
With like successes met.
OF all the callings he has none:
He's doing odd jobs yet.

A convention of hotel walters is be-
Eng held in Washington. One of the
questions before the body is that of
tips. The head walters are said to
oppose the tipping custom, and say
the men ought to get better wages
from the employers. The ordinary
walters, however, are opposed to any
change, holding that the proprietors
of hotels would not pay them enough
TO make up for their losses if tips were
abolished. 1t is not in the least likely
that either the hotel men or the wait
ers win ever settle this tipping ques-
ton in satisfactory manner. The
people win have to take hold Of it.
When they refuse to pay twice for
the service they receive in hotels and
other public places. then, and not I'M
Gil then, will tipping be abolished.
