CATRRRH CANNOT Be CUIED

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. Deafness
is caused by an infiamed condition
of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

The reason that am referring
specifically to the Tabak is from
the fact that is simply illustrates
the character Of the good pros

with the three main developed
properties that are now installing
milling plants to treat the large
BIO les of ore blocked and con-
stantly being enlarged by new
work.
The Jarbidge district with its
natural facilities is a splendid
opening for capital. The ores
being of large bodies and the

soon as Canada ratifies the pact
and the interchange of traffic on
the new basis begins. then will
there arise a demand for the
extension of reciprocity to
Mexico, to South America and all
the rest of the world. Canadian
reciprocity is the first breach in
the high tariff wall and the
balance of that hoary old fraud
must, of necessity, fall in good
season. When this time comes, the
United States will take her true
place at the forefront Of the
nations Of the earth. The pro-
duets of or fsctcrits, 1Cle.ts,
fields and mines. the work of the
most ingenious and virile pepole
on Garth, will then pour forth to
the nations Of the RloIe and we
in turn receive back from them
the riches hey rro6rce. When
that day shall be fully realized
our ships will show everywhere,
capital and labor be fully
employed, ard our railroads taxed
to the utmost to- transport the
unusual tonnage IouIirg in upon
them. What is more, the real
prosperity such an awakening will
bring will silence the professional
politicians. chronic disturbers and
malcontent5 generally, who are
now so active throughout the land.
We firmly believe there is
contained in the new reciprocity
law the leaven which will leaven
the whole lump and finally lead to
the destruction and confusion of
the high tariff party now happily
diminishing rapidly in strength
and influence. A hew and better
era has dawncd for both the
1
United States and Canada. The
Canadians will undoubtedly ratify
the fact.

WE ASK FOR LIGHT

In the respectful comment made by

published elsewhere, occurs this
paragraph:
1--WE know that whatever the
views of our friend they are honestly
conceived, honestly entertained and
fearlessly expressed. With all the
more regret and concern therefore do
we now note that the Clinch Valley
News not only clearly apprehends the
direction in which Democratic politics
in Virginia are drifting, but that it
putt IN its oar to accelerate the move
ment."
Usually our distinguished contem-
porary's English is SC. transparent and
clear that it's meaning can be mis-
contrued or misunderstood only by the
dullest and most Opaque skull. We
confess to being thickheaded" as a
normal condition, and in this
instance fail to grasp. Does our
contemporary mean to say that, after
experimenting the dangerous drift "of
Democratic politics in Virginia" we
have deliberately put in our oar "to
accelerate the movement" downward {?
We confess that we do not much en-
JOY the apparent insinuation, that,
after clearly experimenting the wrong,
we have deliberately chosen to FAC
celerate" the wrong. But perhaps we
do not grasp the meaning of the
mild Impeachment" We seek the

NEAR POETRY AND PUNS

The Richmond Virginian refers to
Senator Swanson's followers as
members of the Glass Cutters I'm
ion, " and says that if it hears any
more protests from the Index-Appeal
regarding numbering the language
with puns it will persuade the editor
of the Newport News Times Herald
to dedicate to us one of his poems,
subject not stated. We feel no hest
fancy in saying that Times-Herald
poem is much to be preferred to a
Virginian or Danville Register pun.
And this is not saying anything es-
pecially complimentary of the poetry
Petersburg Index-Appeal.
We protest against being associat-
ed with such punning novice as The
Virginia. The paper is not yet eigh-
teen months old and can only pun by
lisping. AS to the preference of the
Index-Appeal for Copelandesque poe
try, we can only marvel at Editor
Harris depraved taste. Our Peters
burg friend was formerly addicted to
the poetry habit himself, however,
and it is probably this fellow feeling
that makes him so wondronus kind.
There; we have betrayed our contem-
porary and inadvertently exposed his
youthful folly. He will like our puns
less than ever now. Meanwhile we
commend to Editor Harris a reading
of those masterpieces of Editor Cope
lands muse, entitled "Peyser' end
"The Knocker." They are worthy to
be embalmed in the Charlotte OBJ
servers collection of North Carolina
near-poetry products, which is the
highest praise. -Danville Register.
We appreciate the graceful apology
the Register makes for The Virgin
ian's puns. Our youth is sadly
against us. There be some who fail
to appreciate a joke until it is old
enough to cut it's wisdom teeth, and
among such unappreciative folk we
must class those who prefer the
poetic output of the bard of Hampton
Roads to the gems which drop in such
profusion from the pen of the Regis
ter. The Virginian.
We offer no apology for butting in
to this scrap. Such stuff is clearly an
Index to the standing of the newspa-
pers in the broomsedge and peanut
districts. We herein Register our
protest against imposing upon the
readers of these "big dailies," dur
ing the heated term, and Appeal to
the sense of proprety of their edi-
tors. Even a casual Observer can see
that the whole business, is fake.
