Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed You have a rumbling
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 restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out Of ten are calsed by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an iniamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

AT LONG DISTANCE.
0adies' Home JournaID

An old farmer was skeptical as to
whether people who were miles apart
could readily talk to each other over
telephone wire
One day his wife went to make a visit
TO a distant friend who had a telephone
in her house. During the afternoon the
farmer visited a near neighbOr who also
boosted a house telephone. and who per
suaded the farmer TO call up his wife as
a little surprise.
Following instructions he put the re-
ceiver to his ear. and. after the usual
preliminaries, he shouted:
Hello. Jane
Just then flash Of lightning caused
by the heat of the summer day struck the
wire and he fell spTawling to the floor
The neighbOr was chagrined that the old
man should meet with such an accident
on his first trial Of a telephone and as
sured him that such thing would not
happen except in case Of storms. But the
farmer was convinced of the possibilities
Of communication. however. and would
not try again. He rose to his feet, and
shaking his head knowingly. said:
It's wonderful That was Jane. all

A LUCKY CONVICT.

In the excitement following the an
archist attack on King Alfonso and his
bride there has been little comment
on the singularIy good luck Of the man
who was sentenced to die and who was
pardoned because the royal wedding oc-
CURED shortly before the date set for
his execution. It was reported in the
dispatches that Alfonso pardoned the
fellow, rather ordinary sort Of muir
derer. because his bride asked him to
take the step. And it was further re-
ported that the people Of Spain were
highly pleased over the performance.
Well, if the Spaniards were tickled
nobody else has a right To complain:
but certainly the proceeding was a Gu
rious one, and thoroughly typical IF the
tenacity OF ancient Spanish customs.
There is nothing in the records to show
that the fact that Alfonso and Fns
were about TO be married Iessened in
any degree the crime for which the
prisoner was 10 be executed. He was
none the less a murderer on that &C
count. The chances are that he Will
now proceed 10 murder some one else
hut next time he Will carefully select
his time. choosing q date in close prox-
unity to a royal Wedding in Spain or
somewhere else.
Americans have been accused Of be
ing emotional. To some extent they
are. but We cannot conceive or a presi-
dent making his marriage an excuse for
pardoning anybody. Grover Cleveland
assUredly never thought OF cslebratfuE
lIis advent into matrimony by turning
a murderer loose. although under GER
tain circumstances he would nave IA,
the right 70 do so. President Roosevelt
never thought Of pardoning anybody
when his daughter became a bride. And
if either President Cleveland or Prezi-
dent Roosevelt had done such a thing
there would have been a storm Of dis
approval
The difference illustrates the differ
ence between \ monarchy and a repub-
lie IN the judgment Of his loyal sub
jects Alfonso can 90 10 wrong. He Is

REPORT ON MEAT TRUST.

IF the programme already announced
is carried out, the NeilI-ReynoIds re-
port on packing-hOUse conditions will
be made public today. The packers
have fought strenuousIy against this
publicity, arguing that it will work an
iTreparabIe injury to heir business
And their friends have fought for them.
Yet it is perfectly plain that the publi-
cation Of the report will be the best
possible thing for the packers, as wen
as for the public.
In an argument in the senate the
other day Mr.. Beveridge contended that
American consumers Of packing house
products were just as much entitled to
protection through federal inspection
as foreign consumers The trust does
a heavy business with foreign countries
They are protected to a certain extent
by inspections. The foreigners have
been taking a lively interest IN the
NeilI-Reynolds report. 1t may be a very
bad report, but it can hardly be worse
than the imaginings of the foreign con-
sumers and of the American public.
If the report is withheld the foreign
trade enjoyed by the trust will be alb
sOIuteIy annihilated, and it will never
be regained. The same condition can
not be brought about IN the United
States. but it viii be as nearly ap-
preached as the public can get TO it
The report may throw lot of light on
the packing house industry; it may tell
of feaTfully unsanitary conditions, of
the pa, king Of diseased and decayed
meat and other matters too horrible for
contemplation. Nevertheless. the effect
will be better for the trust than would
may hurt, but it cannot hurt as much
as lively imagination running wild
about the country.
The crUx Of the packing-house Iegis-
lation pending before congress IS the
provision for federal inspectors at the
expense of the packers. The latter OBJ
ject to this on the ground that manu-
featuring is not interstate business and
that congress has no right to interfere.
Technically they are right. perhaps. But
ali the meat packed in Illinois is not
sold in Illinois. It is sent from one end
Of the country TO the other and to many
foreign countries. The government
would have Che right to forbid the sale
in one state Of harmful food products
manufactured in another state, but fed
eraI inspection A. the plants would be a
much simpler way Of getting at the
difficulty.
In any event. the most important fea-
ture Of the news Of today will be the
NeiIl- Reynolds report.

cAssATT's COURSE CLEAR.

President Cassatt OF the Pennsylvania
railroad has FASTENED to deny the re-
port that he would resign as result
Of the exposure o. the fact that there
has been a riot Of grating among the
officials Of his road. In this Mr. Cas-
satt is undoubtedly right unless. indeed.
ne has participated in the grating. II
the work went on with his knowledge
and approval, the natural thing for him
TO do would be to hand in his resigna-
ton. If his skirts are clear he should
stand by his guns.
President Cassatt has the power and
he probably has the intention. to make
things decidedly uncomfortable for the
grafters. He is in a position to search
out the last man Of them and to pub
Iicly discharge them as rapidly as he
finds them. Nothing would be so calcu-
lated to restore the Pennsylvania to the
esteem Of the public. Mr. Cassatt has
often been charged with disregarding
absolutely the rights Of the public, but
as far as we know, he has never been
accused Of downright dishonesty.
Should he fail now to exercise his
great power and institute such a house
cleaning on the Pennsylvania as that
road has never known, the public
will have a right to believe that he In
dOrses the methods of the gTafteTs, and
even participates in their profits.
Even a railroad of the PennsyIvania's
mileage and power cannot afford any
thing of this character. It must have a
housekeeping. and there are Indications
