LEST WE FORGET.
More Power to the Strong Arm and
Strenuous Voice of Roosevelt!

More power to the strong right arm
and strenuous voice of President
Roosevelt in his campaign against tariff
tinkering, If the Democratic party
should insist on making next years
campaign on the question Of tariff re-
vision, which in their vocabulary is the
same as free trade, it would be easy
for the Republicans. In fact, the In
uuirer could do its share Of refuting
the Democratic arguments simply by
reprinting news items from the last
Democratic administration from day to
day. These would be sufficient argu-
ments to impress the most careless OBJ
server.
Lest there be those who have forgot
ten the situation we give few sugges-
tons as to what happened in those
years, as taken from our files:
1S92.-Grover Cleveland elected. I'm
mediate depression in business follow
ing the election.
1S93.-The greatest panic in the his
tory Of the country. In the winter the
Inquirer opened free bread and soup
houses in this city, which were patron
lied by thousands Of men and women
and children who were without sup
port.
1S94.-The house passed the Bland
bill to coin the silver seigniorage or
vacuum" and congress passed the
yu:Ioo,, rorr,op +or;hf hill rUbinh l-illp1
American industry and threw hun
dreds Of thousands out Of work. Penn
sylvania railroad stock went below par
for the first time in many years.
1895. - Wholesale bankruptcies Of
manufacturers, bankers, merchants
and railroads aggregating thousands Of
millions of dollars. Men glad to get
work at any wage, and many who
could not get anything at all to do.
Gold reserve in the treasury went to
smash, and in this year and the next
it was necessary to sell $262, 100000 of
gold bonds to get coin to redeem green
backs, and a contract was made with
bankers which showed that there was
IllSuly llllIe III IAiS SO'Nhh
ment.
1S96.-Election year. All business at
the lowest ebb until after election,
when the revival came which has last
ed until this day.
If there is a man who does not be-
lieve these facts, we ask him to go to
any library in the city and read the
files Of the newspapers during the
Cleveland administration. And it must
be remembered that the Wilson-Gor-
man bill, which did so much damage,
was so much of a protective measure
that Cleveland refused to sign it and
let it become a law by default.
This must be remembered because
there are now some very nice silk
stocking Democrats who want to run
him again and think they can fool a lot
of Republicans into voting for him.
Not at all. Facts are stubborn things.
We shall give all the facts next year.
We are only limiting at them now.

yelt.-Philadelphi Inquirer.

01TlHEN Miss Rose Owens, who
WI has a responsible position in

Washington, D. c., decided to
try Wine Of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. 1t is not a
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. 1t does not force results, but
corrects arrangements of the menstrual
organs. 1t strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func.
tons, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo-
men known to the science of medicine.

airy are really witches, whom 1t is law
full and even necessary to shoot. A
German superstition has it that if a
black cat sits upon the bed Of sick
man it is a presage Of his death, while
If after his decease it is seen upon his
grave it is enough to arouse doubts as
to the locality to which his soul has
departed. In Hungary it is thought
that cats generally become witches be.

found in Piedmont the cats being,

african Natives and Salt.

To obtain salt the Bakalulua and 9TH
er African natives burn banana leaves
and certain grasses and, collecting. the
ashes, place them in large funnel in
geniously made from large. banana
leaves. Through this they percolate
water and then evaporate the filtered
water by boiling, obtaining a fairly
white salt composed of a very small
amount of chloride Of sodium and a
very large amount of chlorate Of potash
and other salts. Prior to the advent OF
the traders and the missionaries this
was the only salt they had to satisfy
the natural craving Of vegetable eat
ing people.

story Of young clergyman whose first

self, with a groan:

would be if should have to stay here

made a prayer. To the young mans

good works, so that he would come to

of the jury received a letter from a
publican, apparently otherwise sane.
asking him to insure that the jury
should find for the defendant because
he had a heavy bet on the result, and
this astonishing epistle was read in
court. 1t is interesting to note that the
writer lost his bet anyhow. Equally
bland was the request once made to
Mr.. Balfour during his premiership to
have dismissed from the commission
of the peace a justice who had very
properly sentenced the author of the
request, a notorious ruffian, to a stiff
term Of Imprisonment for sending beg

E0me Letters That Men Can Neyei
Learn to Make.
.sWhy Is it that with some men some
letters CT the alphabet are harder to
make than others and. in fact, that
there are some letters that some men
never learned how to maker" asked a
young man who takes considerable In
terest In the matter of handwriting in
the New Orleans Times Democrat lit
IS rather singular fact that nearly
every man outside of the experts is
weak on one or more of the letters in
the English alphabet Sometimes the
letter involved is a capital letter; some
times st is of the smaller kind; some
times 1t is one letter and sometimes
another. In any event. you will find
few men who are exempt from the fail
ing referred to.
Il know of one man who in spite of
the fact that he does a great deal of
writing has never learned how to make
a capital P. He simply makes a stag
ger at it, and, as a rule, the result Of
his efforts will look more like small
p than like the capital P. l know an
other man who can't make a small t
to save his life. He can never get the
lower part of the letter below the line.
He makes it look like clubfooted b
instead of an f. There are others who.
when they try to make the small b,
give it the long shank, and it looks
more like the letter f. 1t is Their sin
gular that these traits should hang on
to mans writing for lifetime but
they do it just the same, and il you
make a few inquiries among your
friends and acquaintance you will find
that but few of them are exempt from
this fault.
at is very much like the habit OF
spelling certain words incorrectly.
Many men who are rated as first class
spoilers pass through life without ever
in a single instance spelling certain
words correctly. 1t is due to habit
largely. If you should ask them how
to spell the word, they would tell you,
but, when they go to write it, that is
quite different, and they will get ii
wrong every time. So they know, too,
how certain letters should be made. but
they simply can't put them down on
paper. 1t is a curious but common
fault" -.
