able, says the St-Paul Dispatch
the purposes and methods no
as praiseworthy, rs were those
of the old anti-slavery man
ayers of the famous under
ground railway between sla
very and freedom. The SINH
1arity lies in methods, working
in the dark, craft in avoiding
publicity and recklessness O
means if they bring the desired
end.
Walter Wellman, who keeps
the readers of the Chicago
Record-Herald posted on what
is and occasionally on what is
not going on in Washington
recently resurrected the story
of the decent upon Washington
and the president of represen'
tatives of the rnagnates of high
finance when the pesident in
structed his attorney general to
investigate the merger and in
dustrial trusts to see if they
violated the antitrust act, and
if he found that they did to in
stitute proceedings against
them. From that day to this
all that element and it's related
interests have been working an
underground railroad on which
they hope to carry into either
the republican nomination or
into the presidency some other
man more amenab1e to them
and their purposes of finance
than they have found the sue
cessor of Mr.. Mckinley to be.
In the first heat of their 1ndig-
nation aud alarm they were
quite outspoken, but they soon
realized that nothing would so
surely secure the nomination
and election of Mr.. Roosevelt
as the knowledge by the pub
lie that the Street did not want
him. Thenceforth their work
has been sub rosa.
They pull many strings.
They have attached to them, in
their various schemes of high
finance, a large, a wide and an
influential class. The manu-
factC,rex5 who merged their
plants in a corporation and re-
NAMED as managers; the bank
ers whom they associated with
them in syndicates and the hold
ers of their deprecated stocks,
form the operating force of this
underground railroad system.
Affiliated with them, either by
communion of interests Or from
personal pique, is large group
of public men, senators and
representative, and back of
them another lot who nurse
disappointed expectations of
public place.
The managers of manufac-
turing plants, in announcing
reductions of wages, quietly
and confdentia11y tell their
men that the course of the
president has checked prosper
ity and, if he be reelected there
is every probability that we
will have again the empty din
ner pals of '93. The banke r
applied to for loan, confiiden-
TALLY assures the applicant
that our strenuous president
| has made business so parlous
that, really, no one can tell
what is coming, especially if he
be reelected, and that ordinary
prudence requires bankers to
shorten credits. If it were not
for that impending calamity he
would be glad to extend the
credit asked for. The disgrunt-
led politicians say, under the
rose to their Disappointed would
bes, that their word no longer
goes with this obstreperous

can heartily recommend Peruna as .
catarrh remedy."-Mrs.E Elmer Fleming.
Treat Catarrh In Spring.
The spring is the time to treat catarrh.,
Cold, wet winter weather often retards
a cure of catarrh. If course of PerunA
is taken during the early spring months
the cure will be prompt and permanent
There can be no failures if Peruna is
taken intelligently during the favorabls'
weather of spring.
As systemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates catarrh from the systen
wherever it may be located. It cures
catarrh of the stomach or bowels with
the same certainty as catarrh of the
head.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving q
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

Gen. John H. Rice, the veteran
Fort Scott editor, is out in an inter

ening of the Neosho river by Neosho
county farmers, as authorized by
the legislature. He says it will make
the water go out too fast. In La

been built, which have a tendency to
check the flow and back the water
up. He says if the river bends are
cut through in Neosho county and
the immense floods are turned into

miles, the result will be the inunda-
