" A Happy Mother's Gratitude (LerreR To urs. PINKHAM NO. 26,785) “DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM—I have many, many thanks to give you for what your Vegetable Compound has done for me. After first confinement I was sick for nine years with prolapsus of the womb, had pain in left side, in small of back, ® great deal of headache, palpitation of heart and leucorrhea. I felt so weak and tired that I could not do my work. I became pregnant again and took your Compound all through, and now have a sweet baby girl. I never before had such an easy time during labor, and I feel it was due to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I am now able to do my work and feel better than I have for years. I cannot thank you enough.”— Mags. Ep. Ex- LINcER, Devine, TEx. Wonderfully Strengthened. “Thave been taking Lydia E.

The Repentant Sinner Threatens to Slay the G. O. P. in the Coming State Campaign—Glorious Chance for Fusion ' Forces. Some unfeeling newspaper reporter has been letting John Sherman talk, and what is much worse, has printed some of the sayings of that one-time Republican leader. John announces that he is going back to Ohio to enter actively into the political scramble, and intimates that what he will do to Mark Hanna and his gang will, in the vernacular of the day, “be a plenty.” The keynote of al! the old man’s utter- ances is a resentment toward Hanna for ousting him from the senate. “I abandoned a congenial for an uncon- | genial post at Mr. McKinley’s urgent request,” he says, and between the lines it is clear that he charges up his humiliation to McKinley as well as to Hanna, although he knows, of course, that Hanna inspired the change so that he himself might, by clinging to the McKinley coattails, be switched into the senate. That simile of the coat- tails belong to Governor Bushnell, who has just declared that he and Mr. Kurtz and al} their friends propose to “do” Hanna at every turn. The Re- publican governor, once Foraker’s alter-ego, now charges that gentleman with having made a truce with the Hanna bear, and there are many signs of bitternéss on the part of the men who were formerly regarded as For- aker’s chief supporters. The Repub- lican organization in Cleveland is against Senator Hanna, although that is his home, and the Republican or- ganization of Cincinnati is against Foraker, although he lives there, and this machine was once his main ele- ment of strength. These are, however, but a few of the minor complications facing the Republicans of Ohio. The greater problem is Jones. A governor is to be elected in Ohio this year. The Hanna crowd and the Bushnell crowd and the Foraker crowd had each been grooming some favorite for the nom- ination when there suddeniy loomed up in northwestern Ohio a man who upset all their calculations. This is the unique creature, Jones, who, as mayor of Toledo, out-Pingrees Pingree. The Republicans of Toledo discovered Jones, nominated him for mayor and elected him. The bosses couldn’t han- dle him. He had unique ideas of mu- nicipal government, which ran directly counter to all that Republicanism He believes in the Golden Rule—is a crank on the subject, ap- parently. After he had served one term he stood for renomination, and the Republican machine defeated him. He believed he was cheated, ran inde- pendently, and got several thousand more votes than his Republican and Democratic competitors combined. That's Jones. Now he has announced that he wants the Republican nomina- tion for governor. Not only that, but he says he must write the Republican platform. His strength with the work- ingmen cf the state fs wonderful, and the Republicans are afraid to turn him down; yet, can they afford to make him governor? This is the problem by the side of which all others confronting the Buckeye Republicans pale into in- significance. To Jones, or not to Jones! As compared with Jones, Sherman’s re- turn to Ohio politics is of né impor- tance; the Hanna-Bushne..-Foraker feuds are mere side-shows; even Coxie Old Boy, the Cincinnati boss, and the turned-down McKisson of Cleveland are mere ciphers. There is all sorts of trouble at hand for the Ohio Republi- cans, and all on account of Jones, THE MONEY QUESTION. Falling prices, which is only another name for appreciating money, enriches the bondholder by plundering the plowholder, It picks the pocket of tax- payers for the benefit of those who have fixed salaries and incomes. It confiscates the little home of the gray- haired and broken-down sire, after it has been almost paid for. It shrinks the former value of his farm or home down to the size of mortgage that never shrinks, and turns him and his family adrift to beg or starve, for he has spent his prime in the vain effort to pay twice for his home, and has no strength or ambition left to begin again. Every neighborhood has such cases, and it has many more cases, where, if the mortgage is finally lifted, it is only after a life time of the most careful management, pinching economy, un- ceasing anxiety, and excessive labor, that can be called by no other name than industrial slavery. The gold standard hammer of falling prices has driven down the value of all farm property in particular faster than improvements on the same could increase it, and thus has greatly dis- couraged and diminished them. It frightens capital out of business, and into hoarding, destroys confidence in the future of prices, and upsets all cal- culation. Money has become the only thing worth speculating in, because the only thing rising in exchange value as to other things. Even a low rate of in- terest seems better than a risk in any form of legitimate business, because a man is sure the original loan will come back increased by a certain per cent of itself, so that the lender makes up in purchasing power what he appears to lack in interest. The fact that money is now hoarded, or let for low interest, instead of showing that money is plenty, as gold men say, shows rather that it is scarce as compared. witb commodities. The same instinct that leads men to part with other things, and to keep what is becoming dearer, leads them now to part with property other ‘than money, and turn. everything into money, either to hoard up to gain the annual increment of nearly 4 per cent that comes to it under the present standard, or to let it out at a low rat? on mc~ey futures. If you want to hire money the low interest might indicate at first sight that it was cheap, and hence plenty, but after you have put it into property you will conclude it was a very dear investment, and hence that it must be dear and consequently scarce, The un- failing test as to whether money is plenty enough is not the interest rate for which it can be loaned, but rather the quantity of labor and its products you must part with to buy it. Judged by this test it is very scarce. A-HEATHEN HYMN. (To Odin.) Lord, God of struggle, hear our prayer!

He is a near friend of President McKinley and also owns the Times-Herald and the Even- ing Post. The latter are Republican papers. They are considered close to the president and are looked to as his mouthpieces. Kohlsaat purchased the Democrat through one Wilson, a clerk in the office of Judge Kohlsaat, a brother of the publisher. It seems that the Democrat was too Democratic, and bolted Kohlsaat’s candidate for mayor (Harrison) to support Altgeld. So, to prevent the latter’s election, Kohl- saat purchased tue paper and it im- mediately began to cuckoo for Kohl- saat. Its circulation went all to pieces, however, and whereas a few months ago it was 90,000, now it has dwindled to less than 10,000. It has consequent- ly (for business reasons) returned, in a degree, to the old ways, but Kohlisaat still owns it. It is therefore interesting to note what Kohlsaat, the close friend of the president, when talking to Democrats through tie Democrat, thinks about the president. Here is a sample editorial: “Abram S. Hewitt, former mayor of New York, has solved the trust prob- lem by one of those lightning flashes of genius which occasionally dazzle the world with their brilliant corrus- cations. In a communication to the United States industrial commission ex-Mayor Hewitt says: “My own vie is that when indus- try has been sufficiently centralized and the ownership widely diffused through the distribution of shares, the workmen will gradually acquire these shares and control the property which they represent. In fact, I cannot see : any other outcome for the present movement toward the consolidation of industrial enterprises thaa the trans- fer of the control to those who are actually engaged in the work of opera- tion.’” This is, indeed, an original and -dar- ing conception, brightly imaginative and worthy of a_ sociological Jules Verne. Mark the sententious utter-' ances of this-great reformer: “When industry has been sufficiently central- ized.” This implies tnat the trusts must not be interfered with in their philanthropic - ~« of gobbling up all the industries of the land, as they have not yet “sufficiently” accomplished that beneficent design. And when this | glorious end has been achieved, when | all the industries have been “central-! ized,” when competition has been strangled to death, when the trusts rule supreme, when labor is helpless in the hands of capital, when the con- sumer is at the mercy of the trusts— what then? Why, then, the millen- ‘ nium will come. The lion will lie down | with the lamb. The millionaires will: turn their holdings of trust stock over to the workmen, and thus the laborers will own the trusts and ev-rybody will be happy. Truly, Abram S. Hewitt is a Daniel come to judgment 1 FOOLING AN AFRICAN LION. Euse Which a Hunter Employed to Save’ His Life. Only those familiar with the “man- ners and customs” of the elephant have any idea what a nimble creature| it really is, says Chums. Massive and slow-footed ag it looks, it is capable, when roused, of feats that would be difficult for much fleeter animals. Es- Pecially is this the case with African elephants, which, -though taller, are generally lighter than their Asiatic brethren. Moreover, accustomed for ages to lead a wild life and often de- Pending on their alertness and speed of foot for their very existence, they have acquired a skill in gymnastics which has occasionally taken even old elephant hunters by surprise. In jllus- tration of this fact we are reminded of a story told by one of the noble army of British sportsmen in Africa. He was “out after elephants,” and had just fired at and wounded a magnifi- cent specimen. Unfortunately for him, he had only succeeded in slightly wounding it, when, infuriated by the attack, it turned and charged him. It was a terrifying sight. With its enor- mous ears spread out like sails, and emitting shrill notes of rage, it came thundering over the ground like a run- away locomotive. The hunter fired another shot, but missed; his nerve j Was shaken, and, throwing down his “express” rifle, he sought safety in flight. Near at hand was a steep hill and to this he directed his steps, for, being but slightly acquainted with the climbing powers of the elephant, he thought his pursuer might be baf- fled by the steepness of the ascent. It was a terrible disappointment to find that the elephant could climb a hill just as quickly as the hunter, nimble runner as he was. The fugi- tive, indeed, would have soon been overtaken if he had not thought of a really ingenious ruse. He knew ...at elephants never run, or even, walk, down a steep incline, but always crouch down; gather their feet together, lean well back and slide down. Just as the ferocious anima] had got within a few yards of him, therefore, the wily hunter suddenly doubled and ran down the hill again. Quick as a flash the ele- phant turned, gathered himself to- gether, and, trumpeting with baf- fied rage, slid down after his victim. The hunter had just time to spring out of the way as the great beast came “tobogganing” after him, smashing} trees and shrubs and carrying every- thing before it like an avalanche. Then once more the hunter dashed to the top of the hill, while the elephant, un- able.to stop itself, went careering down to the very foot, where, apparently feeling very sore and disappointed, it rose and walked wearily back to its na- tive woods, MILL OWNED BY NEGROES. ( Ww People Employed to Instruct the Colored Labor. Sixty hands are now daily employed in the mill of the Coleman Manufac- turing company at Concord, N. C., placing the machinery and getting the mill ready to begin work. This is the mill organized by colored people and to be operated by colored labor, says the Manufacturers’ Record of Balti- more. Warren C. Coleman, the secre- ary and treasurer, was instrumental acing the stock, the bulk of which subscribed by colored people. The capital stock is $60,000: The mill building is 80 by 120 feet, three stories, with a tower four stories and a chim- ney 20 by 100 feet, all neatly painted and whitewashed. A waterworks sys- tem has been built in connection with the mill, the source of supply being a spring 1,100 feet distant. The com- pany owns 100 acres of land adjoining J, C, Speckin of Indianapolis intending the placing of a 200- horse-power Corliss engine and two 100-horse-power boilers. When the mill begins operations, white people will be employed to instruct the col- ored labor. The mill and its equip- ment cost about $65,000, It will op- erate 7,000 spindles and 100 looms. All its officers are colored. By its charter it will be allowed to spin, weave, manufacture, finish and sell warps, yarns, cloth, prints or other fabrics made of cotton, wool or other material. Her Skirts Rustle. All is not silk-lined that rustles. There is a lady in this town some of whose skirts are silk-lined and give out that relightful rustle taat denotes the aristocrat, says the New York Com- mercial Advertiser. Other of her skirts ‘are not, but they give out the same rustle. For them she buys a yard of the rustliest silk on the market and sews it down the front of her gown, where the action of her knees will pro- duce the most swishing effect, and then she prances forth with as good an ap- pearance as the richest of them all. And she has a silk-lined walk that for- bids the entrance of a suspicion into the minds of the most suspicious. All which proves her fertility of expedient, and does not argue her more deceitful than man, only more resourceful, more alive to the ‘instant needs of things;” for it is not the silk lining the public demand, but only the swish of it.
