Methodist Church yesterday morning. He
outlined the work and needs Of the as

1t is the good fortune of the new cab
met officer that he is intimately ac-
quainted with the ideas of the presi-
dent as TO the management of the de-
partment. He will need no instruc-
tons. He also has the acquaintance
with department routine the lack of
which hampers a man new to official
life. The president also nominated
James r. Garfield, son of the late pres
ident and now civil service commits
sioner, as the head of the bureau of
corporations. The position is one which
an ambitious man who wishes to make
a name for himself should be pleased
to get. The new bureau and the new
department are likely to throw in the
shade in popular estimation many of
the long established ones.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science II
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseasSG
that medical men have to contend witsso
can be prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pnsumonia
always results from a cold or from AZ
attack of Influenza fgrippe), and it has
been observed that this remedy coun-
terasts any tendency Of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases iis
which this remedy ras been used dur.
ing the great prevalence of colds and
grippe in recent years, and can be re.
lied upon with implicit confidence
Pneumonia often results from a slight
cold when no danger is apprehended
until 1t is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then 1t is
announced that the patient has pneu-
uonia. Be on the safe side and take
Cllamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold is contracted 1t always
cures. For sale by all druggists.

Pushing Currency Reform.

1t is hopeful sign that wherever
men learned or experienced in finance
are gathered together nowadays they
are outspoken and urgent in behalf OF
the reform of our extremely defective
system of bank currency. They are
getting together on the same line. The
remarks of eX-Secretary Gage ano
Congressman Fowler before the Reform
Club in New York were simply follow
ing up the discussion in which they and
others have been engaged for months
past but with it's progress 1t grows
clearer, more positive and more en-
phatic. Men are gaining courage to
speak out loud and bold for or against
branch banking and assets currency
which means to them simply and solely
the favorite method of employing bank
credit which is, as they believe, APP
proved by the experience of the COM
mercial and financial world.
The public is getting familiar with
this kind of talk and is being instruct
ed by it. The subject only needs to be
fully understood to have enlightened
public opinion come to the support Of
the sound doctrine. There has not beer
the least sign of a really adverse sentl-
ment during this discussion on the par
of the people of the country. So far as
sentiment is aroused at all it grows in
the right direction, and no opportunit,
to foster and cultivate it should be neg
lected. 1t will reach congress after {
while with force enough to put it into
action Congress does not seem to bt
led into action nowadays by statesmen
1t has to be driven by the people. The
statesmen have to work upon the PEG
pie and the people upon congress to ge
things done. On this currency ques
ton the people always get right whe1
the subject is understood, and the.
would support sound action even if i
we're a little in advance Of them ant
had to be justified.

ISLANDER AND,LIBEL.

The verdict of the jury in Adkins vs.
Gilmore, tried in Judge Preston's court
at Newton last week, is striking PROOF
of the growing Discrimination of juries
to heal wounds of this kind by money
verdict. AS cause of action 1t stands
unique and alone. 1t is closely related
to those causes of action popularity
characterized as breach of promise and
alienation of affections. The difference
Is that damages in the first are based
on breach of contract, and In the second
In loss of services and the society OF
wife and disruption of the home. But
the verdict of the jury in breach OF
promise is generally one of sentiment
only, Notwithstanding the action is bot
toned on a contract, and its breach and
the damages allowed are often in an
inverse ratio to the damages suffered
The rule is, that the more attractive the
plaintiff and the more unattractiye the
defendant, the larger the damage, while
as matter OF fact, 1t is often true thal
the breach is a positive benefit to the
one who seeks to recover. Another
proof that the action is entirely senti-
mental in character is the fact that the
plaintiff is always a woman. There is
no reason why the Tilted swain might
not be plaintiff, except for the fact
that he would be laughed out OF court

spec'Iatin' a Little.

A New England representative in
congress is responsible for this story of
life in the Green Mountains:
"You can talk about Vanderbilt af-
fluence and Rockefeller riches. and the
prosperity of all the factotums of Wall
street, but for real financial compla-
cency give me a little hill town in the
commonwealth of Vermont. A farmer
up there became enamored of speculat-
ing life He took the weekly agficul-
tural edition of a big rock ribbed Goth
am journal. and became fired with an
ambition to emulate one of those spec
ulating deals that make millions

lay awake nights thinking about a

brieflless and wants notoriety. or he is
ent, or he is nursing some wrong. real
or fancied, and wants to "get even
1t is entirely safe to say that what
was once a frequent action is now an
infrequent one, and the lawyer who APP
pears for the plaintiff runs the risk of
being called disreputable. This is all
due 10 the intelligence of the modern
Jury. The American farmer reads his
newspaper more diligently than the
merchant or the professional man. He
keeps abreast of the times. He is fair,
impartial and is less apt to be moved
by revenge. The tiller of the soil COM
munes with nature. the grinding mill of
competition does not warp and shrivel
his soul. 1t is q farmer jury that the
best lawyers want, and the professional
man and the merchant are always eX-
Guided if they can be.
This is the real explanation of the
present day appropriateness of a SLAM
der or libel suit. Coupled With the fact
that the upright man with clean char
acter needs no certificate from jury.
Words spoken in the heat of passion, or
in idle gossip. no longer injure the
character or reputation of the good
citizen. and it is just as idle to attempt
TO fix money value to estimated
damages as it is to measure the wind
in "A tin cup. 1t is not contended that
there are no meritorious actions of this
kind, it is only claimed that the per-
centage of those having merit is very

sumption could work no injury TO a

SILL HOLDING UP The SENATE.

Under the rules that govern the
upper chamber, two men are holding
up the senate with as much vigo: as a
highwayman keeps his victims in line
with revolver. One of these, Sen
ator Quay, has the right of way with
fortified in his contest by the approx
al of this measure by the republican
committee. He is determined to force
a vote on it and claims q majority
of twenty-four for the bill. He may
be thwarted by republican leaders who
are determined, if possible. not to take
action at the present session, but 1t
will be necessary for them TO adopt a
rule contrary to the present proceed
ure to defeat Quay.
The other measure presents exactly
the opposite condition. The senate
would like to vote on the Panama canal
bill. but Senator Morgan is bent upon
talking it to death. 1t is necessary to
take IL vote on it before the session
expires. March 4th. and there is little
doubt that the majority will carry out
its purpose and approve the meas
ure.
The two obstructionists are acting in
conformity with rules in carrying on
their contests-rules that seem anti
quated in comparison with those of the
house. Senatorial courtesy permits
dilatory action. in spite of good sense.
Some modification of rules, such as
to defeat mere obstructionists, would
meet with general approval.

that the boys We're gossipping about the

The question naturally arises. is 1t

averse to restitution of this kind. With
the jury there has been evolution, with
the law, none.
Will any Intelligent lawyer explain
why the plaintiff in all kinds of SANDER
and bride actions should not be re-
quired to plead and prove both his dam
age and the malice. In actions for libel
1t ought to be sufficient defense If
the publisher of the paper satisfies the
jury that he published the article in
good faith and as news. The reputable
newspaper editor does not maliciously
manufacture news. He only gives it as
he CLEANS it, and ii he acts in good

The decadence of this class Of actions
is due to the increasing intelligence of

medieval, barbaric. Criticism of public

cuBA's HOPEFUL CONDITION.

It is pleasant to learn that Cuba is in
a fiourishing condition and that the
people of the island appreciate the eff
forts of the United States in their be-
half. Proof of this is found In the tes-
timony of a good witness in the person
of Senior Francisco E. Fonseca. one of
the successful Cubans who have gone
to New York and established business
enterprises. He returned last week
from visit to Cuba. where he was
born. He met President Palma. who IS
an old friend, and many others, who
entertained him royalty. He rs quoted
rs saying-and this is the important
part of his remarks:
ut did my heart good to observe the
under Spanish rule. and Americans
need have no apprehension about Gu
bias relations with them. Everybody
who takes a broad View of the situation
In Cuba speaks hopefully of the new
treaty with the United States. OF
course there is some opposition, but it
is from those who have selfish motives,
and not from thoseh who wish for
stronger business as we'll as social rela-
lions with the United States. The f.
nancial outlook for Cuba is most prom
Using. The estimated revenues will give
a surplus over and above expenses Of
100000 or 100000 month. The loan
arranged for the payment to the SOL
diers is not going to be harmful to Gu
ba's finances, but it will most likely give
beneficial results. The people are also
hopeful of having substantial curren-
cy basis. AT present there are various
foreign moneys in circulation, and with
no fixed value on any of them, with
some provinces excluding Spanish
money entirely from trade; and. not de-
string to fix basis of value upon 9TH
ers in specific communities, trade is not
conducted as smoothly as it might 9TH
erwIse be. 1t is not probable that Gu
ba will establish its own currency
standard, at least not at present; but if
the American money should be made
the standard, as many hope for, then I
believe there would be greater conf
dence in business circles. But Cuba Is
progressive, and there's bright future
for her.

The Easy Pill.

Dewitt's Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure biliousness. iaundice, constipation
and inactive .livers by arousing the se-
cretions, moving the bowels gently, yet
effectually. and giving such tone and
strength to the glands of the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These IA
nous little pills exert a decided tonic
effect upon the organs involved. and If
their use is continued for a few days
there will be no return of the trouble.
