CURES DEAFNESS.
One Weeks Use of Hyomei Did More Than
Six Months Treatment by Specialists.

Six Months Treatment by Specialists.
In the treatment of deafness which
is often a result of catarrh, Hyomei
acts almost Immediately upon the in
famed membrane and the hearing be-
gins to return at once. \ few days
treatment will bring relief, and in
three or four weeks, according to the
severity of the case, a cure will be ac-
complished.
Miss Meeks of Mattewan, \. Y, says
"HyOmei is truly wonderful. l have
used it but a short time and see a
great change in my condition. My
hearing is improving rapidly, and j
had no idea | would improve so rap
idly in so short time, My breath
which was very offensive to myself
and others, has lost its bad odor en-
tirely. 1 have spent great deal of
money with catarrh specialists and
can truly say that six months of their
treatment is not equal to one month
of Hyomei."
L. II. Thomas is selling Hyomei up
on the usual plan of agreeing to re-
turn the money if the medicine does
not cure.
A complete outfit costs only S1.0o
and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried in the vest pocket, medl-
cine dropper and bottle of Hyomei.
The inhaler will last a lifetime and
there is enough Hyomei for more than
a months treatment. Additional bot
tles,of Hyomei can be procured for
so cents. Compare this small expense
with the fees charged by specialists,
and then remember that if Hyomei
does not cure I. H. Thomas Will re-
turn your money.
What other treatment for catarrh
and catarrhal colds is sold in this
way?

THE NEXT VICE PRESIDENT.

Boston Herald: Neither political
party in the nation seems to be much
concerned as regards its candidate for
the vice presidency next year. The
position in past times has not been
very much sought, and really, as it pre-
sents itself to the ambition of men,
does not seem nearly as desirable as
that of seat in the United States SEN
ate. And yet its possibilities, always
great, have never been SO impressively
presented as they have at the present
time. Within the space of sixty years
five vice presidents. have been called
to the presidency, and the latest one
of these appeared at the time of his
election as little likely to attain the
higher Office as any one who was ever
put IN the way of such preferment
With so many lessons on the subject
and in view of the deaths of men SC
s-.al y .-as1aaRffniiey, there would seem
Ito be no need of urging the import
ance OF selecting the most discreet
men for the vice presidents office
hereafter; yet it is by no means Ger
tain that the requisite care will be tax
en- on the subject when the two parties
make their nominations in 1904.

SECRET OF SUCCESS.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: Self
confidence is to be carefully distin-
guished from self-praise, which, even
in the greatest of men, is intolerable.
A man should believe in himself, but
he should not advertise his merit by
his own proclamation. 1t was the in
junction of famous artist, ito confide
in ones self, and be something of val
ue." When this is ones mental atti-
tude towards ones self long step
has been taken in the path of success.
Self-confidence is the offspring of
self-respect. ITO think meanly of
ones self is to sink Feel yourself
and be not daunted by things" Those
are the precepts which inspire men to
worthy, if not famous, achievements.
A great deal may be expected from a
man who, in new. difficult and I'M
tried position. acts as if he had a right
to be there. 1t is related that the Sax
ons We're taught to believe that they
would be first, and the aggressive en-
ergy of the race may be due to this
primitive inspiration.
Though it may seem an affection
the young man who stands alone has
an opportunity to test his manhood.
and such opportunities should be vel
coined. eco forward with hope and
confidence" was the best advice which
the sage could give to the youth who
desired to learn the mystery of sue.
cess.
Self-confidence can never be learned
in seclusion. 1t is nurtured in the
school of the world, by contact with
men in touch with affairs OF course
1t will be understood that we are not
encouraging the overweening self-con,
fidence that despises the advice of eX'
perience; but we must learn to try
our own wings, to trust our own pow
ers, If we are to make notable pro-
gress in the world.

REPRESENTING cLEvELAND's
VIEWS.

Boston Herald: The republican
newspaper of this city, in discussing
the presidential question, recognize
the difficulties in the way of nominal
Ing Mr.. Cleveland again for the presi-
dency, admitting that he would con-
sent to be once more a candidate. and
that the objection on the part of the
people to third term in the presi-
dency could be overcome, both of
which to our mind are in doubt. This
journal agrees with the Herald that
the real significance of the movement
for Mr.. Cleveland is in the evidence
which it affords that there is search
for candidate who embodies the sort
of democracy which Mr.. Cleveland
represents" and it finds such a candi
date in Richard Olney, who was SO
eminent as cabinet officer in the
Cleveland administration, taking, as
attorney general then, precisely the
advanced ground just held by the Uni
ted States circuit court in the North
ern Securities company case.

PUGET SOUND AND THE ORIENT.

Review of Reviews: The question
here arises-What are the traffic con-
ditions which warrant the construc-
ton of vessels of such prodigious ca
pacity and calling for such an enor-
nous volume of freight business? Why
should these vessels be built for Puget
sound. w.--ch heretofore has held a
subordinate position as compared with
the port of San Francisco?
IN the first place, Puget sound is the
logical gateway of the United States
to the Pacific Orient, by reason of the
fact of its geographical position. The
short cut from the United States to
the orient, as one will see when he
consults h'sfglobe is northerly by way
of the Aleutian islands. The average
map presents the coasts of North
America and of Asia as il they faced
each other and were almost parallel,
whereas the spherical contour Of .sthe

THE QUEEN AND THE CORSET.

The young Queen of Portugal, who

full of energy, and her interest in medi-
cine and anatomy is sometimes shown
in way not wholly pleasing to the
royal household Her majesty was one
of the first royal personages who rea-

the great injury done to the bones by

one of her maids of honor whom she
suspected of the practice to be photo

according to Lisbon gossip, slight fig,
ures have quite gone out of fashion at
court The New Yorker.

globe in fact makes the Asiatic shore
line almost a continuation or projec.
ton of the American shore line to the
other side of the globe. Thus the
most direct route from either San

kohama, Shanghai or Hongkong than
from Puget sound northerly to the
same destinations. In other words, the
San Francisco round trip to the orient
via Hawaii is $500 miles longer than
the Puget sound round trip via Boring

nearly nine days for twelve knot yes.
sci. This advantage of week to ten
days in the length of the voyage is the
logical basis of the faith in Puget
sound as the gateway of oriental com.
merce.
IN the second place, the Puget
sound route for American commerce
with the orient is about one-half the
length of the New York route via the
Suez canal. the haul is 11,575 miles, as
compared with $3.50 miles from Seat
tie to Hongkong. From New York via
the Suez canal to Yokohama the dis.
lance is over $4,000 miles, as compared
with 4,240 miles from Puget sound to
Yokohama. Why should the United
States circumnavigate the globe to
reach the orient by way of Europe
when it has short cut of it's own with
one-half the length of haul?
Another definite and convincing adj
vantage which American commerce
will enjoy in taking the direct trade
channel from Puget sound to the orr
ent is the avoidance of the 50 per tor
charge levied upon it by the Suez ca
nal. In view of the facts that within
the past year steel rails have been car
ried from the Mississippi valley to 70
kohama, and that within the past sixty
days flour has been transported from
Minneapolis to Manila and Hongkong
in each case at the low rate of s. pei
ton, it is patent even to the laymar
that the 50 per ton handicap via the
Suez canal is sufficient in itself tt

luton of these nrnhlnms y

Inere possibility OF success in the So
luton of these problems"
There are many wrongs yet to be
l. ted. There will always be some
causes of offense in the freest govern
ment. IN the march toward perfect
institutions, toward the complete
amelloration of human conditions, the
press must ever be an indispensable
guide and inspiration. 1t is unthink-
lie that mankind could have reached
the present stage in its ascent toward
the perfect commonwealth without the
newspaper. If this argus eyed and
million voiced guardian OF human in
terests were removed, the failest civil
lzation would begin to lapse toward
barbarism and the extinction of civil
liberty. Milton has wisely written:
This is not the liberty which we
can hope, that no grievances ever
should arise in the commonwealth;
that let no man in this world expect;
out when complaints are freely heard,
deeply considered and speedily re-
formed, that is the utmost bound of
civil liberty that wise men look for"
Ii complaints are to be freely heard,
deeply considered and speedily re-
formed, the press must be free, fear
less and aggressive Tor the right. 1t
is not always and infallibly right. 1t
is a human institution, but its trend
is toward the right. Justice Brewer,
in his calm, judicial view of the news
paper as a helpful power for good,
says, in the third place:
In the evolution of the court of
public opinion, the court mightier than
any organized tribunal, at whose bar
are judged all men, events, and pur-
poses-here the press does mighty
work. 1t collects the universal opin-
ion, announces its conclusions, and
whirls them against all for gloom or
glory. These facts speak most for the
uplift of the nation, and in each the
press has been one. if not the great
factor. May it continue it's work, pro-
noting national unity, fastening of
the great social problems, and bring
ing all matters before the court of
public opinion-a court of increasing
wisdom and power
Responsibility accompanies power,
Justice Brewer has sketched in mas
terly way the supremacy OF the news
paper in it's boundless sphere At no
period since the invention of printing
has the responsibility of the press
been greater than it is today in its
