There is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion OF the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years it was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment, prounced itincur-
able. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by f. J. Cheney & Co..,

tional cure on the market. It is

At length his treatment OF her became
so intolerable that in desperation she
appealed TO Emperor Nicholas, when he

time forth became one OF the most en-
thusiastic partisans OF Russia, contin-
uing to De so even throughout the Cri-
mean war, which she deplored.
She has done an immense amount Of
good. Many struggling artists and lit

to achieve success, but likewise their

the purpose of paying the salaries and
expenses of special agents doing HELD

A Close District.

Colonel slemp evidently imagines that
his little 200 majority in the Ninth dis
trict is going TO wipe out the big Demo-
cratic majority elsewhere in the State,
and he overestimates the Importance and
the significance of his own election. The
district has been close for long time,
and upon each occasion when Judge
Rhea. his Democratic opponent. has
gained seat in the House he has been
obliged to defend his title before an
election committee OF the House.
No one expected that the district
would go Republican last fall; in fact,
il was not even placed in the doubtful
column by the Republican managers,
and when the returns came in they were
as much surprised as the Democratic
opponents who had counted upon the
Ninth Virginia as a certainty. Colonel
Slemp overlooks the fact that the State
outside of the Big Stone Gap district
gave a Democratic majority OF about AS
00e last year on the face OF the Congress
election returns.
In 1892 the Old Dominion did waver in
her support OF the Democracy. While
the remainder OF the country was run
ming Cleveland mad. Virginia hesitated.
and II was only after the most diligent
work and hard-fought campaign that
the State was kept from swinging over
into the Republican column. AS IL was.
the Cleveland electors were chosen only
by about 1900 majority in a State that
is normally Democratic by $4,000 major
fly.
ion If Mr.. Cleveland were to be renomi-
mated can only be imagined, but
Colonel slemp's prophecy of Virginia
Republican is not likely TO be fulfilled
unless the ex-President Is renominated.

EGYPT and Manchuria.
An Historical Parallel Which Bothers
English Critics.

So far as we are aware, the "Sat-
urday Review" is the only English
journal which has thought it prudent
to direct attention to an historic par.
allel which makes British protests
against the course of Russia in Man
ehuria somewhat grotesque.
This parallel is afforded by the
course of England herself toward
Egypt. The promises which Russia
gave for the evacuation of Man
churia were in no respect more ex-
plicit than those which England gave
twenty years or more ago that her
occupation of Egypt should be tenn
POrary only.
If we dock at the matter from the
point of view of national morals and
international good faith, England
was pledged to withdraw from Egypt
twenty years ago. But she first post
poned and evaded and now altogether
ignores these obligations. She has
employed the interval in developing
the resources, improving the finances,
and practically administering the
government. There is a khedive, but
he is a figurehead The khedive is
nominally a vassal of Turkey, but his
real master is England The fiction
Of neutrality-suspicious. is still so far
preserved that Egypt is not officially
included among British possessions or
protectorates, but to all intents and
purposes Cape Colony Is no more
British than is Egypt, so far as con-
troll is concerned, although the adj
j0mistration IS carried on under diff
ferent methods. II is no more think
able today that England, unless un-
der the compulsion Of overwhelming
force, should quit Alexandria than
that she should leave Cape Town.
OF course, it may be said that
Egypt is immensely better off under
British administration than il would
have been under different conditions.
This is perfectly true. There are few

one hundred miles of the system has
been destroyed by forest fires. Lieu

Until they have been quenched by a

was a remarkably pretty woman and
agreeable, and both she and he were

II fixed an early date and got them

a few days later. After the ceremony
was over we adjourned to Whistlers

However, there never was a more
