THE MUCH
 WANTED ANSWER.
No. 3s Perry Street

1 w AIN 1LD A1ND w EII.
 The self-styled original Parker barker from Arkansas, who has confessed that he stole his cue from friend in Illinois, at the shrine of whose political fore sight he has long worshipped, wants to know if we are going to vote the ticket straight. Since the retirement of Capt. T. T. Ward, veteran in Arkansas l journalistic Demo ~racy, the News has been posing as the regular ity' organ, and it's youthful and and precocious editor has been giving a few struts daily and a grand dress parade for the last weekly issue preceding the cleo tion, under the swiped mantle which became the Confederate veteran with good grace, but which fails to hide the office craving propensities of the new disciple.
 The Independent has never professed to be other than a pa- per conducted on independent lines, and has taken no part in any political fight except in op- posing the renomination of Gov ernor Davis for a third term, a thing to which the office-hunting Waterman himself pleads guilty, but which fact could not have been established from any utter ance in his paper, for in the days before the primary he sought to be county clerk. He laid on the fence as still as the real squirrel heads, of which he is good im- itation, lay on the limbs of a shady tree in the midday's heat.
 Of course he,was defeated, as he always has been and always will, and while we are on this subject, just mark prediction: If Waterman doesn't run again two years from now for county clerk and try to beat Mr. Alex Lockard out of his second term, it will be because he has hied himself away to his native heath in the north and left his com petitors here a clear field. Just paste this in your hat or your almanac for that year and let our reputation as a seer hang upon this forecast.
 This carpetbagger, who runs a newspaper to get into office, has been suspected of having an eye open for federal pie. That's the reason he cultivated such an in- innate companionship with Hill and other big guns at the St. Louis convention. The report that the sage of Wolfert's S roost" sent for Edward Cecil has been exploded long ago.
 Woods of Beebe, the editor, who accompanied him to St. Louis, has stated through his pa- per that Waterman wanted the Olyphant postoffice, and though such an origin would ordinarily be considered trustworthy, we have our doubts about it, as the gentleman is credited with am- bitions to succeed Powell Clayton as ambassador to Mexico, and this tender of the Olyphant post office looks too much like a joke. 1 But he's after pie and that s the L \.

Sleeplessness Is a Sign of Nerve Trou- ble and Should
 Be Locked To.

There are three G..cSerent manifesto tions of sleeplessness.
 First, hardly to sleep a wink all night. second to lie awake long time before falling asleep; third to fail asleep soon, wallsng up after several hours and then find it hard to sleep again.
 They mean. that somewhere in the nerve flores, somewhere in the brain cells, somewhere in the blood vessels that carry blood to the brain. something is radically wrong, and must be righted. or the end may be worse than death.
 To right 1t, take Dr. Miles Nervine.
 Some other symptoms of nerve trou- ble are: Dizziness. Headache. Back ache, Worry, Frctfulness, Irglta nility, Melancholy. Lack of Ambition.
 They indicate diseases which may lead to Epilepsy, Fits. St. vitus' Dance. Nervous Prostrasion. Paralysis, Insanity.
 Nothing will give such quick and last ing relief as Dr. Miles Nervine.
 My husband had been sick for weeks, could not sit up to have his bed made. With all the medical help we could get he. continued to grow worse. He could neither sleep or eat. Our baby girl was sent away, and all callers barred, be- cause he could not stand bit of talk ing, I read of case of nervous pros- tration cured by Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine. We began giving it to him, and in few days he was able to be dressed. From that time he steadily improved. Nervine saved his life. - MRS. A. G. HASKIN, Freeville, N. Y.

SPEAKS
TWICE IN NEW YORK

New York, Oct 3.-The archbishop Of
Canterbury preached twice in this city,
and at both services throngs gathered
10 see and hear him.
At the morning service in old Trinity
the crush was greater than at any of
an Easter Sunday. The church seats
1,400 persons, but there were fully 1000
within its doors to hear the primate.
The full choral communion service
of the Episcopal church was given. 1t
lasted two hours and a half and was
very elaborate.
Throughout his sermon the archbish-
op spoke in a clear. resonant voice, and
his words could be distinguished in the
farthest parts of the great nave. He
took as his text st. Luke xix, 10, For
the Son of man is come to seek and TO
save that which was lost" In an ad-
dress which was listened to through
out with deep interest and attention
the archbishop spoke of Christianity
under modern conditions, of Christ's
special mission TO the weak and OF
the disposition to overlook them In the
storm and stress Of today.
An audience even larger than that
which greeted the archbishop in the
morning gathered TO hear him at St.
Thomas church, Fifty-third street and
Fifth avenue. at o'clock in the after
noon. The church is larger than Trini-
ty, and every pew was filed.
The archbishop did not preach reg
ular sermon, but made a short talk on
the subject of the church's missionary
work among the Assyrlan Christians.

WHAr M EAT.

A WRITER in the October number
L n Of Pearson's magazine has a very
interesting article on the diet Of the
average person OF the present day as
compared with the diet OF fifty years
ago During that period according to
insurance experts human life has in
creased on an average FIVE years
Doubtless this average is due in large
measure TO great decrease in infant
mortality. but even after maturity. men
and women live longer.
II is natural to presume that in
creased longevity is due IN large meas
ure to improved diet. and 1t is Interest,"
ing to learn from an expert what the
improvements are.
The general trend has been towards
reduction in meat consumption and an
increase in vegetable foods, as well as
in animal foods other than meats, such
as diary products and eggs.
Fifty years ago every man, woman
and child ate one sheep. or at least
there were nearly as many sheep eaten
as there were people. Now we gai

FIRE IN A FURNACE

Help Save Bank and
Cash

The janitor Of the National Bank OF
Delaware at Sixth and Market streets,
started fire in the furnace in the base
ment Of that institution shortly after
6 o'clock last evening and as result
caused a fire scare. The banking room
was filed with smoke which was find
ing an outlet through lowered windows.
Somebody thinking the building was
on fire dashed into the police station
and gave the alarm. Captain Kane
and a squad of policemen FASTENED to
the bank and after considerable shout
ing and scurrying about managed to
bring the janitor up out Of the cellar.
He explained that while there was a

MR. nAvls AccEPIs.

THE LETTER Of acceptance OF Hen
4 ry Gassaway Davis is before US.
II is not the utterance Of great
statesman; neither is It altogether
twaddle. 1t is about what we might
expect from Mr.. Davis. We should say
that the note OF pessirnism. his exclam-
alton against government expenditures
and his general alarm al what he terms
extravaganza are mere shows OF tenn
perament and signs OF advanced age,
were it not for the fact that these
signs, too characterize Democracy.
Therefore perhaps we may say thar the
candidate and the party are in har-
mony.
He wants taxation reduced to point
necessary for the needs Of govern
ment economically administered" The
value of so solmen a declaration lies in
the fact that 1t mpst be universally ac-
cepted. But how shall we Judge Of the
economy Of administration save by
comparing expenditures with results. or
by taking our sister nations as basis
OF comparison?
We spend per capita STA England
spends three times as much. and yet
We think we get better result. France,
a republic. spends two and one-half
times as much. and yet France is com
pact. and her expenses might easily b,
less than ours. Germany is frugal. and
so is Canada. and yet each spends fifty
per cent. more per inhabitant than we
do And we do not think there win bs
any dispute over the declaration that
no people gets more beneft for take.
expended than the people Of the United
states.
Many Of Mr.. Davis remarks must be
regarded as too vague to make CAM
paign issues. He wants the 'perma-
nent establishment OF arbitration as a
part Of the Industrial system OF the
country" But since you cannot COM
pei people to arbitrate, this must be re-
garded as a mere ethical recommenda-
tion. There is not much else OF burn
ing interest IN the letter. Like most
