CLEARING THE STREETS.

A great deal of money and labor has been
already put forth in clearing the streets of the
Instructions caused by the recent snQwfalls.
This is a duty which belongs to the communi-
ties in the temperate zones whose business ac-
tivities. especially near the Christmas season.
are sadly nterfered with by choked roadways.
In our important towns. crowded with cars,
progress through the streets of the multitude OF
persons going from shop to shop is greatly
checked unless the surface cars are unobstruct-
ed: and it is really wise for city like Newly
to spend money freely for the benefit not only
of its citizens but also for the advantage of tue
visitors from far or near
Big and busting as New FORK is. IL should not
be forgotten that it has ambitious rivals London.
FIR instance, exceeds US by Il considerable mar
gin Paris is growing, although the absence Of
large families in France retards her growth.
The chief centres of population in England out
side of London are also growing rapidly. and
there are important centres of settlement on
the Continent of Europe outside CT Paris and
Berlin that are to be considered. Berlin, with
its surrounding towns. has total census record
of not far from three millions of people. While
the suburbs Of the chief settlements of the globe
fill up so swiftly, and the tendency of people
TO get together is so striking, there is no dan
ger CT the falling of population in great cities
like New-York
The clearing of the streets just now is of the
first Importance in facilitating Christmas shop
ping. The country is enjoying an of pros
perity, and the crowds of shoppers are phenom-
enally large Our great stores are prepared for
an enormous business, and nothing should be
permitted to check the high tide of their sue
cess.

New-York is to be congratulated upon the re-
suit of the long conflict over the Campbell
claims against this city. The plaintiffs de-
manded large sums in damages. and were most
persistent in asserting their rights. But they
had not been sufficiently careful In presenting
their demands at the time when it was advsa-
bic for them to insist that they had some justi-
hcation. and the Fire Department of the metrop-
oils has made of the invention now for a
long series of years. 1t is a device to protect
fire engines from injury when the pressure is

The council of the University of Paris has
recently authorized the delivery at the law
school of the university of a course OF lectures
on American law. with special reference to COM
mercial and banking law. by Mr.. Charles T.
Beach, jr.. formerly of this city, who has been
In active practice for many years and written
much on legal subjects. An agreeable reciprocl-
ty in the field of education has now been es
tablished between French and American in
situations Of learning. Prior 10 this arrangement
for law lectures by Mr.. Beach at the University
of Paris the Due de Loubats foundation had
provided for the study of American antiquities
at the College de France. through the instru-
mentality of lectures in French by NJ. Leon
Lejeal, and Mr.. James H. Hyde. of this city,
had provided for lectures in English at the
Sorbonne on American ideas and institutions
by Professor Barrett Wendell. of Harvard.
These courses in France had been preceded and
presumably suggested by the Baron Pierre de
Coubertin's four foundations for the study of
French literature at Princeton. Tulane. the
University of California and Leland Stanford
University. Over and above the knowledge
thus directly communicated. such kindly edu-
cational exchanges do much to promote friendly
relations among of learning in the two
great republics of the Old World and the New
and diffuse correct appreciation in each of the
best characteristics of the other.

early Saturday morning, July 10th, at
st. Louis. Mr.. Belmont, the Wall
street promoter, was an active agent
in bringing it about. Col. Guffey OF
Pennsylvania, representing the Stand
ard Oil Company, delivered the vote
of Pennsylvania at the critical mo-
ment. Finally, to make the situation
clearer, the convention gave the Sec
ond place on the ticket to an octoge-
marian railway owner and mine ope-
rator, who is counted upon to draw
on his own millions and to secure aid
from other corporation magnates.
And the Parker plan of campaign, as
disclosed in the news columns of a
frier dly organ, is ito use large sums
of money and to rally corporation
and railway influences"
But before this Wall street plot can
be carried out there is the American
people to be reckoned with.-Boston

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH

Hyomei Goes to the Root of the
Disease and Makes astonishing
Cures.
Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills, liquid medicines and So called
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs of disease will still live in
the air passages and increase and
multiply.
-Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Kill
ing the germs in the air passages, it
enters the blood with the oxygen,
destroys the microbes in the blood
and effectually drives from the system
all traces of catarrhal poison.
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered as to the powers
of Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact
that FL. @. Pierce will agree to refund
the money if you say Hyomei has not
cured you.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but s1.O0 and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts life
time, and if one bottle does
not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained for so cents.

THE WALL STREET CANDIDATE.

The Wall Street Journal has good
reason to plume itself upon its pre-
science regarding the Wall street plot
to defeat President Roosevelt by con-
trolling the Democratic nomination
for President.
AS long ago as Feb IA, 1903, the
Wall Street Journal not only disclosed
the plot, but named Judge Parker as
the instrument through whom it was
intended it should be accomplished.
Remaining that "the official Wall
street candidate has already been Sc
lected on the Democratic side,n the
Wall Street Journal of the date men
toned went on to say:
ave find the columns of our bril-
liant contemporary, the Sun, full of
information on this whole matter. 1t
has taken the lead in opposition to
the President, and within the past
two or three weeks has been at much
pains to inform the country of the
solid merits of Judge Alton B. Parker
as the strongest Democrat now before
the public. According to the Herald,
some wagers have already been made
respecting Judge Parker's candidacy
and its probable results. 1t is prob
ably fair TO say that Judge Parker is
the man with whom Wall street hopes
to beat Mr.. Roosevelt, provided that
one of Mr.. Roosevelt's own party
does not beat him in the convention.
Anything to beat Roosevelt is clear
ly the motto of the powerful financial
interests in the street, so far as 1904
is concerned"
The plot thus disclosed in February
of last year was consummated, SO far
as the nomination for President goes

Church Work-A Satire,

Most respectfully dedicated to whom it
may concern
o Lord, come to Thee in prayer once more;
But pardon if do not kneel before q
Thy gracious presence, for my knees are sore
With so much walking. In my chair instead
I'll sit in ease and humbly bow my head
I've labored in Thy vineyard, Thou dost know;
I've sold ten tickets to the minstrel show;
I've called on fifteen strangers in our town.
Their contributions to our church put down.
I've baked pot of beans for Wednesdays
spree,
An old time supper it is going to be;
I've dressed two dolls, too, for our annual
fair,
And made cake which we must rattle there.
Now with Thy boundless wisdom so sublime.
Thou knowest that these dr. ties all take time:
I have no time to fight my spirits foes;
1 have no time to mend my stands clothes:
My children roam the streets from morn till
night;
have no time to teach them to do right.
But Thou, o Lord considering all nv cares.
Wilt count them righteous, also heed nv
prayers.
Bless the bean supper and the minstrel show.
And put it in the hearts of all to go.
Induce the visitors to patIonize
The men who in our programme advertise:
Because I've chased these merchants till
they've hid
Whenever they saw me coming-yes they did.
Increase the contributions to our fair.
And bless the people who assemble there.
Bless thou the grsb-bag and the gypsv tent.
The flower table and the cake that's sent.
Make our whist club be to our service hest
The dancing party gayer than the rest.
And when Thou hast bestowed these h1ess
ings then
We pray that Thou wilt bless our sou1s.
Amen.

g. A. R. ENCAMPMENT. IN BOSTON
AUGUST Is TO 20.

Ten years ago historic old Boston
welcomed the Grand Army of the Re-
public, and the reception which
New England rendered the "Vets" has
long been remembered. The gala APP
pearance of the Puritanical old city;
and the magnificent military pageant
which marched through crooked
streets, lined with cheering throngs,
made the G. A. r. reunion of '94
memorable event.
In ten years many changes have
taken place in the ranks of these
sturdy soldiers; and while they may
lack the quick step of their former
Bosto n march, they are still ready for
duty; and at the annual encampment
in Boston this year, August 18th to
goth, it is anticipated that over 100,0 900
people will visit the city, and over
forty thousand will be in parade.
Visitors are expected from every
quarter of the country; and the same
care and watchfulness will follow the
G. A. R. visitors which was exercised
over the large gathering of teachers
asse mbled here last summer. Boston
is an ideal convention city. Hotel
proprietors, citizens and boarding
house keepers all unite in doing their
utmost for the ease and comfort of
the visitors. AS city of interest,
Boston is without an equal; the many
famous landmarks, historical buildings
and places in Boston and the suburbs,
make it doubly attractive as conven-
ton city. Low rates from all sections
of the country will apply; and to
further aid the visitor, the Boston &
Maine has recently published a de-
lightful booklet which tells all about
the encampmenta and contains illustra-
tions of the numerous historic land
marks and monuments in Boston and
suburbs. The outside cover of the
booklet is in three colors, showing an
exact reproduction in coIors of the
official G. A. r. badge on a white
background, with a green wreath en-
closing the whole on blue setting,
while the lower half is in black with
red lettering. This booklet is invalu-
able as guide and makes an interest
souvenir. Just send postal card to
the General Passenger Department.,
Boston & Maine Railroad, Boston, and
the booklet will be mailed to you free.
