 Results of Constipation.
 When train is stuck in the tun- mel and cannot be dislodged, it stops traffic. With the body it is worse, be- cause when there is blocking up somewhere in your 80 feet of bowels, the poison from the blockade is going to be soaked up by the little capillaries all this poison Is rushed right through the blood.
 Tt goes to the brain naturally, and to every part of the body, every organ being fed on this polluted blood or sewage. It goes to your face in the form of pimple- poison and breaks out on the skin, 1t goes to your head and gives you headache and dizziness, it goes to your brain and makes you

is no telling what may develop and many people look for one or more election scares between now and November The waning of Wall street cocksureness over the November result is not entirely to the displeasure of the republican managers, for some such awakening was considered necessary to an unloosening of the purse- strings. The campaign war chest has been filling all too slowly. It is an old trick of campaign managers to throw scares into the party in order to bring out the votes and the contributions. A knowledge of this fact has made Wall street slow to believe the disturbing re- ports it has been hearing from the coun- try at large It has been educated to look for precisely this sort of a demon- stration.
 One of the real clements of strength in the stock market all through this re- covery has been conviction that when good times come for the railroads they will get back not only all their former volume of business. but that the tonnage will yield a higher revenue. In other words, that freight rates will within the next six months be moved up to 15 per cent and that the roads will be getting $100,OO0 1000 to s15000O 900 more than ever before per annum The process of uplift- ing the freight rates is a slow one and is still meeting with opposition, but the result is reasonably sure The railroad officials of high degree say that the ship pers and the public generally are real izing the justice of the railroad end of the question and are admitting that they ought to pay more for transportation when all the clements of cost of such transportation are greater by 30 to 50 per cent than five years ago.
 With the cost of production that much heavier 1t stands to reason that the finished product should bring more. This is the argument being brought to bear by the railroads and they say it is pro- ducing the desired effect on the jury. If this process of reasoning is correct. then

there is good ground for some of the dis counting of the future which has been, and is being, reflected in the higher prices commanded by railroad securities on the stock exchange.
 The determination of the Standard Ofl company to lay new pipe lines which will cost about SIS, 900, GOO is being highly com mended by members of the Sunshine club, who like to see deeds accompany brave words and optimistic professions. The expenditure of s13,000000 of Standard Oil money will certainly do a large amount of lubricating of the industrial machinery. On the other hand, railroads and nearly every other line of industry continue to economize wherever possi- ble and among the working men the complaint is still heard that there are yet hundreds of thousands of unem- ployed.
 Our foreign trade is at about the low est ebb seen in years. Exports and i'm ports for July were at low water mark. In both cases they were about one-half the volume for November, December and January last. For the three months named exports were about $205, GOO, 900 a month. In July the total was S103, ,000, ,000 The excess of exports over imports for the last seven months, however, foot up s372, ,00O,000 and we are sure of a large balance of trade in our favor for the remaining five months of the calendar year and for the whole of that year. American tourists abroad have spent less money this year than usual and indi- cations are that this country will be able to draw upon the old world for a good sized gold balance before the first of January next.
 The reorganizers of the New York street car systems point to a deficit of $S,000,000 for the year as an excuse for cutting off all transfers and imposing every additional burden they can think of on the public. The opposite view of the case Is that this vast deficit affords no such excuse, but should be ample warrant for prosecuting insiders for wholesale robbery of the several traction corporations under guse of increased capitalization and stupendous borrow ings for the purchase of properties from insiders at extravagant prices. The same insiders, with MT. Belmont frozen out smile blandly while the heather rage and go on with their reorganiza- tion plans unconcerned and undisturbed They have gone through similar experi- ences before and emerged each time richer than ever.

Newspapers and the Railroads.

 Frm Leslie's Weekly.
 That was a curious decision that Judge c. c. Kohlsatt, of the United States Circuit court, recently rendered at Chicago, namely that a newspaper or magazine could not sell It's space at full rates to a railroad and accept in return passenger mileage at full rates. Judge Kohlsatt decided that ''If 1t be lawful to make the exchange of railroad trans portation for advertising, then 1t would be lawful to do the same in every trans action, and the railroad business might lawfully become one of barter and sale, limited only by the demand" All busi- ness is really nothing but barter and sale, and 1t is therefore difficult to un- derstand the logic of Judge Kohsatts s peculiar reasoning.

A COSTLY HEARING.
Portland Water District Case Expense
Already About 100000.

Portland, Me, May 27.-The Express
tonight says: A man prominently con-
nected with the Water District hear
ing and absolutely in a position to
know, estimates that the aggregate ex-
pense of the investigation up to the
present time will reach 100000, and
that the expenses during the hearing
alone have been at least $500 per day
or about $4,000 for the hearing. These
estimates included attorneys, expert
engineers fees, the amounts paid to
the commissioners and the stenograph-
erS' bills besides other sundries. The
bills of the four stenographers, the
smallest item Of all, aggregate $500.
The attorneys fees will probably
seem enormous to the ordinary man.
There were four attorneys on each
side, and it is reasonable to suppose
that all of them will get fees that will
run into the multiple thousands and
that the leading attorneys will get con-
siderably in advance of $4,000 each
for their services. Mr.. Heath has Civ
en- practically six months of his time
to the case and Mr.. Baker little less,
while the others have worked in COM
parative proportion.
1t is estimated that such expert en-
gineers as Mcssrs. Hazen, Wheeler
and the others will scarcely get less
than 500 and perhaps good deal
more. The five expert engineers gave
at least 40 days of their time each.
The commissioners get so much per
day and expenses and the stenograph-
or. 81 per mage They took bet Ween
5000 and 1000 pages of testimony.

William Gown of Orono, a laborer.
As years of age, was found dead in a
box car at the Maine Central freight
yards in Bangor early Wednesday
morning by Yard Conductor Lucas.

William F. Toothaker of Cundy Har-
Dor was fined 1862 in the municipal
court at Portland Wednesday by Judge
Hill for having in his possession last
October G52 short Holsters. The COM
plant was made by Fish Warden
Abner C. johnson of Phippsburg, who
testified to finding nine bags OF shorts
in fish house owned by Toothaker
at Cundy's Harbor. Fred B. Winslow,
also Of Phippsburg. corroborated the
fish warden's testimony. Toothaker
appealed from the fine, and gave bonds
in the sum of $1,000. This is one Of the
heaviest penalties ever inflicted in
Portland on short lobster case.
Toothaker is said to have made an CT
fort to settle the case with Fish War
