THE OBLITERATION OF STATE
HOOD.

the steady drift of power from the
states to the central power at Wash
ington, is not pleasingto the genuine
American, who glories in our dual
system of government, state and
national. as affording the widest
scope for the development of free
institutions and as the main secret
OF our ascendancy among the nations
of the world. Few men will agree
with him that sit is a beneficent
movement" For its ultimate effect,
If il continues, will be to make our
national motto, "E piuribus unum,"
lie; to concentrate all authority at
| Washington; to narrow the field of
political ambition among the ablest
men to service under the general
government; to reduce the states, in
their relations with the nation. to a
paltry level comparable with the
relations Of counties to the state
government.
Yet other dispatches, printed sim
ultaneously with the one mentioned,
contain additional evidence of the
drift" referred to by Mr.. Carnegie.
Both sides in the SO. called labor war
at Chicago are appealing to the
national government to intervene in
the settlement of a purely local
trouble. The restoration of order in
the streets of Chicago is something
for which the municipal government
possesses the most ample powers
and abundance of machinery. But
cowardly mayor refuses to perform
his duty; cowardly police magistrates
refuse to inflict more than nominal
punishment on teamsters or their
sympathizers who intentionally
obstruct the streets, destroy private
assail with deadly weap-
ons citizens attempting to carry on
their every day legitimate business,
So, for the want of manhood in the !
mayor, and through demagogy in
he municipal courts, Chicago's army |
IF policemen, evidently anxious to |
10 their duty, fight fruitless battle |
With the disorderly element which
assumes to lay down laws for the
whole community.
And supposing the municipal arm
IF Chicago to be actually not strong
enough to cope with the mob, what |
If the great State Of Illinoisf That
state has body of armed and organ
zed militia capable, under the right
leadership, of restoring order in an
hour. But here again the man who
should lead proves himself a poor,
coward, afraid to perform
his duty lest he may at some future
lose votes.
So the spectacle isseen Of United
State marshal the subordinate of
federal court exercising in Chicago
a power greater than that of mayor
or governor. With few deputies,
and "a few printed copies Of an
he is able to give to bus
mess men the protection refused by
the municipal and state officers
whose salaries they pay, and who
have taken an oath to enforce the
laws. Where mayor and
governor, and state and municipal
courts prove recreant, civil rights
and American liberty lind protection
under the United States marshal's
baton.
If this great congeries Of states is
to be fused into single mass, with
statehood reduced to mere name, a
mere description on the map, coward
officials like those Of Chicago and
Illinois will be responsible. For
American liberty, and a right to the
protection Of the laws, are Of more
value even than statehood. st. Paul

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian tube. When this
tube is inf1amed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dol
lars for any case Of deafness
Caused by catdrrh) that can not
be cured by Halls Catarrh Care.

Mayor J. A. Ludington this

that he would not again be candi-
date for mayoralty honors,
During the past few days great
pressure has been brought to
bear upon Mr.. Ludington to be-
come candidate for a fourth
term and it was hoped that he
would give his consent. After
carefully considering the matter,
however, Mr.. Ludington has
finally made up his mind not to
be a candidate. His refusal is
quite generally regretted mas
much as Mr.. Ludington has the
confidence of the business men
of the city very generally. His
three years administration of the
affairs of the city has been very
satisfactory one and it is prob.
able that had he consented to
stand again there would have
been no opposition to him.
Mr.. Ludington S refusal leaves
the matter open again and there
is much speculation as to who
will be the candidate.
The contest for nomination as
justice of the peace continues to
be largely a still hunt. Mr.. J.

that he is not candidate and
will not be one Notwithstanding
that rumor has generally credit

entering the juryroom in the criminal
court building, where the inquiry was
held, Hoch confessed, the police say,
to having married thirteen of the

husband. 1t is predicted by the police
that he will own up to fully thirty of
them before the inquest, with its at
tendant strain upon him, ends: But
he holds firmly to his denial that he
poisoned any one of them.
Hoch came to the coroner's inquest
with several days growth of beard on
his face. His appearance was any
thing but neat. As he entered the
room he looked neither to the right nor
to the left but walked to seat APP
