A treatise on heart disease might be writ

testimonial As Mrs. Fuller truly says, her
symptoms were those of heart disease. An
equally convincing symptom might be found
by the specialist in her statement that she
did not know how her trouble began. Weak
hearts are as common as weak stomachs and
one may have weak heart for years without
knowing it. Colds, indigestion, physical or

weak heart to diseased heart If you have

T0DAYS PARADE

Three Bands Engaged-Strict Order:
on Liquor Question.

Everything promises a most success
MI parade. today. More men have
been made enthusiastic than ever be-
fore. and the procession will be larger
than had been expected. There is only
one uncertain factor, the cotton mill,
which is not running, so that the num-
Der is hard to determine. There have
been two drawbacks, however. The
stonecuttefs and quarrymen have re-
ceived their suits and find that they
are not union made goods. The stone
cutters have refused to accept theirs
and will march in other clothing. The
quarrymen will be obliged to wear
theirs. but will do some kicking, later.
that somebody will hear. A third band,
the Lafayette, has been engaged.
The parade is sure to be a credit to
the unions, and the cities. Mayor
Robertson has given strict orders on
the liquor question. and at the unions
own request, the police here are in
structed to arrest and lock up any
man, no matter in what uniform, who
is evidently under the influence of Ii
nuor. The Gardiner authorities have
dressed in citizens clothing.
There will be over 100 carriages in
the procession, and none will command
more respect than a barouche sent by
the Central Union for four of Angus
tas oldest citizens, Chandler Beale,
Baker Weston, Fred Morton and D.
Harrison Getchell.
The fire department will not be out
done in the parade. 1t will bring out
the handsome new truck, Hook and
Ladder No, /, Hose and Ladder NO. l,
Hose Carriage No. 2, Steamer Cushnoc
No 1, and last but not least, an anti
tquated hand tub, built for the city OF
Augusta in the year of one. It's tires
are spiked onto the rims in sections,
it's carries old fashioned leather hose.

NEW HOOK AND LADDER TRUCK
Arrives and Is Beauty-Will Be in
the Parade, Today.

The new Hook and Ladder truck for
the fire department arrived. Saturday,
and is something of which the city may
well he proud. Few cities the size Oh
Augusta can show a better. 1t is brand
new. right from the shops of {. N.
Perkins Co. Lawrence, Mass, and was
built specially for the city of Augusta.
1t carries a large assortment of ladders
of the most approved pattern, a Il, 16,
20, So two 26, and 50-foot extension
and folding ladder which can be car
ried through any narrow place and
opened when it is in position.
Everything that could possibly be
needed in the way of tools about fire
is to he found upon it. There is cage
on tor and one underneath for carry
ing tools or anything else desired. At
each end of the foothoards on either
side are small tanks for carrying fire
extinguishing chemicals. and there is a
large box under the frame for carry
ing re-Charging materials for these
tanks. The frame is steel throughout,
and steel truss runs under the
frame. with turnbuckle at the mid
die. There are four nickle lanterns.
and fine gong of very powerful tone.
For characterization, there is a picture
of some city building on each OF the
four mud guards. One is the state
House, another the post office, third
the Cony High school, and the other
the Lithgow Library. On one SIDE 1t
bears a brass plate stating that 1t was
built for the City of Augusta, and CIV
ing the year, the names of the mayor

man and other members of the fire
committee. This machine Is something
the city has needed for years, ana VII

The Tigers Food.

If report is true, Tammany's campaign
the municipal government is one of the
largest ever raised by city political organ
ization. The New York Herald states that
the wigwam leaders are kept busy writing
receipts and depositng checks and cash.
It announces positively that they have now
at their disposal 10 less than 81, 100 900, con-
tributed as follows: Rv franchise interests
and business men. $500 600: by gambling in
terests S2faOoo: by red light" keepers and
disreputable women. si0j.0GG; by candidates
and voluntary contributors 100000. The
first item, says the Herald signifies the
hope entertained by the corporations
located in New York for far greater favors
from the Tammany government than they
have been able to secure from the Low ad-
ministration. That $500, eco can thus be re:
garded as in no other light than a corrup-
fare of the citizens than the $500, 900 given
by the gamblers and vicious classes. No
stronger argument for the election of the
fusion ticket could be adduced than this
showing that the people who cannot thrive
under an honest enforcement of the law
are willing to pay vast sums for the chance
of securing a lenient administration.
1t is an open secret that the thugs
thieves, panders. prostitutes and gavJlers
of the metropolis hope for the restoration
of Tammany to power. When Mayer

The Tariff Fight in England.

the drift is now, this process is fairly sure

velopment is the acceptance by the Duke

sociation of parliamentarians opposed to
the tariff plan. In his letter of acceptance
Devonshire reserves the right TO modify his
relationship to the league in case of future
developments. He has always been con-
servative in his attachment to political
bodies He was formerly a Gladstonian,
but parted from that leader in 1856. He
then tried to remain neutral but was soon
drawn into active partisanship as liberal
uniouist. His present detection from that
party has greatly encouraged the oppo-
uents of the ministry. He Is now associat-
ed in the free food movement with several
of his late ministerial colleagues, such as
Mr.. Richie, former chancellor of the ex-
chequer. and Lord George Hamilton. who
resigned at the same time as secretary of
state for India. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
who served during Lord Sllisbury's last
ministry as chancellor of the exchequer Is
one Of the organizers of the league. 1t is
significant that besides these two former

capacity under Lord Salisbury. has taken

The Local Tax Burden.

If the Districts revenues continue to
Increase at the rate shown by the latest
tax returns it is entirely possible that
before many years the municipality may
have caught up with its obligations, paid
oft all the federal advances and met the
cost of all the great permanent works
now under way or Immediately in con-
temptation. Then, If no other vast prof.
ects are inaugurated on the cash-pay-
ment basis the Districts funds will
quickly show n surplus. Heretofore such
a surplus has proved a handicap rather
than benefit to the local government A
few years ago. so persistent had been the
refusal of Congress to obey the organic
act by matching every District dollar
with a federal dollar. the local surplus had
reached q considerable sum, and Con-
gress forthwith proceeded to dispose of
ii by inaugurating a series of street eX-
tensions wholly at the Districts expense
and saddlinE the local treasury with
other inequitable burdens. The surplus
quickly became d deficit under this I'M
fair system.
The local taxpayer has no wish to con-
tinue to pay heavily on his property if
the sole result of his contributions is
surplus leading to infractions of the or
burden as long as the funds are en-
p!oyed wisely in equipping the District
and bringing it up to the desired capital
standard. But he will continue to demur
i. the cash-payment and the Exclusively
fl ON District revenues plan are further
pursued Furthermore, he will strongly
object to a continuance of the present
high assessment of property if there is
no legitimate need for the money raised
thereon.
AS stated in the news columns yesterday,
assurances We're given during the last Con-
gress TO representative citizens who appear
ed before tile Senate District committee by
members of the committee, on this matter
of the heavy drain upon the local resources
If. after the present emergency was safely
passed, the revenues continued to be too
large for current needs. measured on a fair
scale. Congress would. 1t was asserted, di-
rect Il lowering of either the tax rate or the
assessment, in order that no surplus should
accumulate This suggestion was intended
by the committeeman to allay the reason
able fears of the taxpayers and it was ac
cepted in that sense. Now that the reve-
nues showing the effect of the increased
assessment and are creeping up on the eX-
rendtures despite the heavy handicaps,
this understanding is recalled and is to be
borne in mind.
HID the cost of the great permanent
works been financed on definite longterm
bass and had the street extensions been
paid for on the half and half principle, and
finally had the organic act been obeyed to
the letter by Congress, there would be
neither surplus nor deficit. and no need of
spasmodic fluctuations in the assessment
and the tax burden. The present demand Of
the District taxpayers is that the heavy
load they are carrying today shall be re-
garded as due to an emergency and shall
he lghtened as soon as that emergency is
past.

tasted the bitterness Of reform. Conse-
quently there was no stronger force aligned
for the election Of Van Wyck than these
people. who, as now. poured their ill-gotten
wealth into the Tanmany Golfers and con-
tributed heavily to the success OF the
Tigers ticket. Two years ago they again
realized their danger, after having enjoyed
a period of practical immunity from honest
reformers, although they were subject to
police blackmail even more shameless and
fragrant than that which had been uncov-
cred by Lexow. They gave their funds
again, but this time they failed of success.
Now they are hungry for a chance to rob
and swindle and thrive off the evil DISPOSE
tions of the people. Allied with them are
respectable business men, stockholders in
corporations, men of family. of high char
acter, of pure life, who are willing that the
organizations which they control should
contribute along with the thieves and dive
keepers and gamblers and unfortunate
women In order to secure an Illicit advan-
tage from the election of Tammany's can

The Duty of the Citizen.

In his Chicago speech the other night, Mr..
Cleveland in terms not at all new, but
forcble and timely, urged a greater interest
in politics on the part of men of substance
and social influence. Business men and
professional men should come out and do
their share; should exert themselves in be-
half of better government.
This is a familiar note, but it cannot be
too often sounded. There is no doubt Of
the fact that our woes as a body polite
especially our municipal woes-are the re-
suit of the Indifference of many of our
most capable citizens to their political du-
ties. Without aspirations for office them
selves. they leave everything to the men
who do aspire and to their followers. And
so selfishness and machines and graft have
become far too powerful and true public
spirit has languished. Too many voters go
to the polls only to boost some candidate in
whom they are personally interested
through friendship or less creditable rea-
son. and too many neglect to go because
private affairs are permitted wholly to
overshadow public affairs.
Just now, fortunately for the country
there seems to be an awakening. The reg
Stration in this years campaigns, state and
city, is very large. The poor start in New
York last week, ascribed to very Indictment
weather. is remedied by yesterdays record
and the promises for today. The people
everywhere are enrolling for next months
contests. and show a determination to do
their duty.
AS has so often and so we'll been said, We
usually get the kind of government we de-
serve. 1t does not lie in any mans mouth
to complain of base or incompetent officials
and their performances if he has neglected
to bestir himself in behalf of better men
If when the race was on, and interest in
the result brought out the true character
of the contestants. he looked away, or
locking on. did so merely as a listless OBJ
server. he is not only responsible for what
ever ills he himself suffers through the
triumph of unworthiness, but is in part re-
sponsible for what others suffer. He is one
OF the architects of the disaster, and SYM
pathy for him is wasted
The failure to register and vote should be
a reproach to any man entitled to that
great privilege, and especially so to the
man who by his intelligence and substantial
possessions knows the inestimable i'm
portance of wholesome administration of
public affairs.
