SENATOR VEST. of Missouri, who is

SENATOR VEST, of Missouri, who is
obont IN retire on account of the infirma-
ties of age, saws 1.-THE greatest men
ace that threatens this country today Is
in combinations of capital that have
monopolies for their object" This he
charged to the protective tariff and ne
considers the Sherman antitrust law in
effective. The Senator, though III fall
ing health, is still of vigorous mind and
as he is about to voluntarily retire from
nublic life makes the above statement
with only the welfare of the country at
heart. He declares that, oyershadow-
ing all other issues in American politics,
q revision Of the tariff schedules as a
means of curbing the growth of monopo-
listic corporations is forcing itself daily
on the attention of the country. That
the leaders of the republican party con-
template such revision of the tariff he
does not for a moment believe. The
democratic minority in the Congress, Of
course, is impotent to such an effort.
This. then, the venerable Senator from
Missouri thinks, is the issue upon which
will be fought the next Presidential
campaign, now less than two years OFT.

A Priceless Jewel.

New York, Dec. 29.-Catholics in
every part of the world are preparing to
show their devotion and fidelity to Pope
Leo XIII at the end of the celebration
of his silver jubilee next April by pre-
senting to him an almost priceless jewel.
This is a topaz weighing nearly four
pounds, the largest in the world. 1t is
now in the hands of skilled workmen in
Rome, where it is being richly carved.
1t will contain, when finished, a repre-
sentation Of the Papal arms and OF
Christ breaking bread. Notices on this
subject will be displayed in all of the
Roman Catholic churches in the country.

RIoTING EXPECT ED.-Food riots are
now expected at La Guayra. Among
the laboring classes there is already great
suffering, owing to the high prices of
foodstuffs and the lack of work resulting
from the blockade. Fully |, 900 men in
La Guayra rely for their livelihood upon
the work of shifting cargoes from steam
ers and sailing vessels to the railroad
Most of these men are rendered idle and
will probably remain so as long as the
blockade continues. The Venezuelan au-
thorities fear acts of violence against the
property of foreigners. When the freight
nav on hand has been moved on the rail-
roads to Caracas and Valencia both of
these lines will close. Further advances
in prices of foodstuffs will then take
place. The Dutch steamship Prns Will
lem " was due today from Europe.
The agent of the line expect to obtain
permission to land her large cargo. She
will be the last of the line to touch there
until the end of the blockade. When
she leaves the agency will be closed and
all the employees dismissed.

A Grtesome Find.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 29.-Sun-
day afternoon fishermen along the banks
of the river found a hand and fore arm,
which evidently belonged to a white
lady unused to hard work. 1t had
evidently not been in the water long.
II appeared to have been cut off with an
axe, and not amputated. None of the
hospitals knew any thing of it and it is
believed that murder had been COM
mtted up the river and portions of the
body disposed of in this way.

DIR. JiOPenZ,

New York, Dec. 29.-Dr. Frederick
Muller assistant of DIR. Lorenz, held e
clinic today at ST. Marks Hospital i'll
which he performed three difficult oper-
atoms. One of the operations was upon
a girl, eleven years of age, for congenial
hip dislocatiOn. AS DR.. Lorenz placed
the age limit at years for such opera
tons, there was a storm of applause from
the sixty doctors present when DIR. Null
Ter reduced the dislocatiOn in seven min
utes. The last case was that of Pearl
Eisncr. n iiiteen-year-old girl who was
suffering from paralysis of the spinal
cord, which affected the muscles of the
neck.
DR.. Muller first man pu'at d and
stretched the muscles of the neck until
they were rendered SO pliable that the
head could be turned fe, from the
formerly cramping tendOns and ligaments.
Then he wrapI ed the child's entire body
in aplaster cast.
This was the first operation of the kind that
has been performed in this country by either
doctor LOrenz or his assistant. The girl had
been Obliged to wear a spinal brace for years,
but now, as q result of Dr. Muller's operation,
it is thought that she will be practically
cured.

A SPIRITULIsT TO DETERMINE SEX. =
Dr. Hirsch, body physician to the
Gar, has explained in medical circles
the true facts concerning the presence at
the court of Liyidia of the mysterious
NJ. Philippe, who is supposed to have
influenced the Gar by means of hypo-
critic and spiritualistic seances. Accord
ing to DR.. Hirsch, NJ. Philippe was at
the Russian court by the express wish of
the Czarina and for the purpose of de-
termining the sex of the expected heir to
the Russian throne.
The reports which have appeared in
the German press about the Cars
"Cagliostro" and the influence which
this mysterious person had gained over
His Majesty are not to be taken serious
ly. The Gar is stated by members of
the court to be good natured, and is
never so pleased as when he is able to
keep his court amused.
NJ. Philippe was invited to Livadia
for the purpose mentioned above, but he
his time while there in anus
ing their Majesties by his entertaining
spiritualistic performances, at which
members of the court who were present
declare the Car laughed most heartily.
There was no question of exercising
undue influence over the Car, but it is
a fact that several of the grand duchesses
took the seance seriously. Several per-
sons in intimate relation with the Car
spoke to him on the subject of the alleged
baneful influence of NJ. Philippe, and
His Majesty replied. cit is always the
case that when stranger stays at the
court rumors of this kind are spread, but
i is nobody's business but my own when
ny court amuses itself"

ADJUTANT GENERAL JUMEL, Of
Louisiana, has dsbanded the First
Re giment of that State because it re-
fused to turn out against strikers in a
recent street car strike The action of
the attorney general was the only re-
course left to him, for soldiers who re-
fuse to obey orders are much worse than
no soldiers at all. But the future of a
State whose militia openly revolts. when
called to duty must be contemplated
with alarm by all good citizens of that
State.

A DISPATCH from Richmond says that
the Campbell-Crawford case, set for
January ii, will consume great deal of
time by the legislature. But why it
should, only the solons of that body can
tell. The case should never have been
brought before the legislature, but now
that it is there it should be dropped at
once. State legislatures have nothing to
do with private quarrels of people not
even members of such bodies.

THE FATE of the Cuban reciprocity

Burrows, of Michigan, on the conclusion
to be reached by the National Asseefa-
ton of Beet Growers, which will meet I'D
Washington on January s. They Will
decide whether they can stand a reduc-
ton of 20 per cent. in the tariff upon
Cuban sugar, and, in the opinion OF
Senator Burrows, the protectionist Sena-

And this is the condition to which the
people of the country has been brought
by the trusts Congress, supposedly the

ways-sometimes by CHEEKY sunshine
and glisiening SHOWS. and sometimes by
driving winds and binding storms. To
MANY people it seems to take delight
in making bad things worse. for rheuma-
tism twists harder. twinges sharper, ca
tarrah becomes more annoying, and the
many SYMPTOMS OF scroiula are developed
and aggravated. There is not much poe
try in this, but there is f,zfh, and il is a
wonder that more people don't get rid Of
these ailments. The medicine that cures
them Hoods SarsspariIla--is easily OBJ

its cures are radical and permanent. .
