Chinese Finances.

From the New York Tribune.
One of the weakest points in the
Chinese imperial government has been
it's management of the finances. There
has been deplorable lack of enlight-
ened system, and, according to conf
dent report, a still more deplorable
excess of "squeezing" and other forms
of dishonesty. 1t was therefore to be
desired that fiscal reforms should Oc-
cupy a large place in the reorganiza-
tion of the government on a sonstitu-
tional basis, and it is now gratifying
and encouraging to observe that such
is the case. Various imperial DEGREES
have emphasized the necessity of fis-
cal reform and have indicated on gen
eral lines the manner in which it is to
be effected. and there is ground for
hoping that these will be obeyed as
the other DEGREES relating to constitu-
tional matters have been.

alton in connection with the recent
rise in the price Of meat. The pack
ers and others dealing in food prod
ucts attribute the high prices to the
scarcity of food, and declare that pro-
duction has not kept up with the in
crease of population. In regard to
meat eating. the amount consumed is
supposed to be dependent upon the
climate, for more meat is needed, be-
cause of it's calorics. the farther north
we go. AS a matter of fact, the con-
sumption is dependent largely on the
wealth, or rather on the extravaganza
of nations. The more money there is
to spend the more money goes for
meat as we'll as sugar and a score of

THE HERPES COMES OUT
Frequently Shows Itself in the Same
Place Every Winter.


The herpes very frequently shows
itself only in the winter time and in
identically the same spot every year.
When 1t comes out. a little poslam
should be at once applied, and this
annoying skin affection will quickly
vanish: Poslam is the new skin rem
edy which has cured thousands Of the
worst cases Of eczema and eradicated
facial and other disfigurements of
years standing. The terrible itching
attending eczema is stopped with the
first application. giving proof OF its
curative properties at the very out
set.
In less serious skin affections, such
as pimples. rash, herpes. blackheads.
acne. barber's itch, etc. results show
after an overnight application, only a
small quantity being required to ef-
| feet a cure. Those who use poslam
| for these minor skin troubles should
| Immediately secure one Of the special
| 50-cent packages recently adopted to
meet such needs. Both the 50cent
| package and the regualr 50 jar may
be obtained at w. H. Sudhoffs and

FutiIity.
He labored for years with a resolute
will
To rise to a lofty position,
And dreamt of the day when his dill
gent skill
Would come to its golden fruition
And at last came success; and the
bliss that came too
Had but one little thing to alloy it.
The world was his own, but he felt
rather blue.
He hadn't the time to enjoy it.
He paid for the music while some
body danced
And somewhere sweet perfumes
were floating;
At wonderful pictures his visitors
glanced
And the world his great splendors
was noting
With envious gaze; but each moment
had grown
So precious that he must employ it
With closest concern. Wondrous
wealth was his own;
But he hadn't the time to enjoy it.

NIAGARA Falls.

So far as our present knowledge
goes. the earliest printed reference to
Niagara falls is in the record Of a
voyage by the celebrated Jacques Car
tier in 1855. Its position was first
mentioned by Champlain in a map at
tached to his voyages. published in
1913. The earliest description OF the
falls is that Of Father Hennepin. who
visited them in 1878. His account was
published with a sketch giving full
view Of the cataract The name mi
agara" means thunder Of waters"
and was given it by the Indians. Opin-
ions differ as to the age Of the falls.

RICHMOND,S RITE SON.

The Chicago Tribune, having COM
pleted it's poll OF the Republican ed
itors of the wAst has gone even more
extensively into the domain of politics.
For there is no politics which has
such infinite varieties-such splen-
did possibilities as the Paw Paw Belt.
We who are just on the borderland of
that great political and literary di-
vision may well feel proud. The Trib-
une has come into our own midst and
honored one of the most prominent
members of the jefferson Club. We
quote:
IL. Ert Slack, who had been men,
toned as a Democratic candidate to
succeed Senator Beveridge from In
diana. has withdrawn from the race.
We are not acquainted with the Hon.
l.. Ert Slack, as such, but we regard
his decision as eminently wise in the
circumstances. His act, we are in
formed, was performed at the demand
Of the Hon. Thomas l.. Taggart, who
has already shooed John w. Kern
away from the same ambition.
There is no telling what or whom
Mr.. Taggart has up his sleeve. There
are vast senatorial probabilities in In
diana Democracy, and he may be de-
pended upon to put in his best French
Licks in making his choice. There
are, for instance, Eb. Hoover of Clin-
ton. the Hon. Buck Hesaw of Wilma
mac and the Pink Mink Marsh, Fotsy
Stott of Terre Haute, Teller Bull of
Richmond, not to mention Bart Holtz-
slaw. president of the Federation of
Fat Mems clubs in the state These
Bryan every time he ran. They stand
for Is to 1. the guarantee of bank de-
posits, and the free coinage of white
chips without the aid or consent of

lature and fit to represent the state at

crat. The Hon. Teller Bull is loved
and admired by all who know him.
Before coming to Richmond many
years ago he was defeated in that still
we'll remembered race at Abingdon
for town constable. When Cleveland
failed to appoint him to the Court of
st. James. he retired from public life
for the time. That he did not have a
brilliant diplomatic career was due
largely to the prejudice which was
voiced against James Russell Lowell
that he was lone of them derned
literary fellers."
Hon. T. ]. Study resigned gracefully
in favor of his old rival because of
the Hon. Bulls military record tits
thought that Teller Bull will make as
strong a candidate as any that the

B. c. V: II is to your credit that

half pint of cold water. adding two

This cream jelly thoroughly cleanses
the pores of the skin. taking out all
dust. oil and CRIME. Its regular use
tends to make large pores smaller and
prevent blackheads. II KEEPS the
skin soft, pliable ana fresh looking.

Quite contrary to their usual habits.

the chimney and the cabin walls also

Whalen knew the Cinnamon were No
fools. and. acting on his wife's sugges.

Then he ordered tents for his family
