A happy New

The Chestnut National batik of Phila
delphia was struck with a severe stroke
of prosperity last week.
The old year, like some fit our pros
perity hanks will close it .doors to the
world Friday evening.

Booth Tucker, commander of the sal
vation army in tlia United States, left
New York city on the 23th inst with a
cilony of Salvationists for Monte ray,
('!., where they have secured several
hundred acres to muke their future
homes on.
The report that secretary Gage of the
treasury was alxut to resign, has been
denied by the assistant secretary of 1 tie
treasury, Mr. Vanderhp;he also makes
the statement that the views of the
president and Mr. Gaga exactly agree on
the (fnancial policy.

China stands a good show of being
divided up among the different nations
of Europe.
On December 24th the Chicago Collis
eum that immenence structure, which
was twice as large as the Madison square
'garden building of New York became
it total ruin. The fire ignited, and
, ru over in about one half hoar. It was
the quickest ever witnessed in Chicago
(which by tt way) is noted fof her rapid
ity every thing. At leat ten persons
ure rousing and the injured wili number
about tweftty-five.
According to a statement made in 'the
New York World of the 23ed inst, 92,000
people in New York City alone are
without visible means of sunport during
the wioter, and those figures may be
augmented by forty or fifty thousand
more by next spring. If this is true
and we do not doubt it, where is that
wave of prosperity that was to strike
thio country, soon as McKinlcy was in
aufjarated on the 4t!) of bit March
If editor Rjsevvater, of the Omaha
Boe, and Jude Ksvsor, could read the
comments made by tho editors of the
coiotry press and how they feel in re
eard to injunction processes as a last re
sort to siUnce free speech and the press
as printed from day to day in daily and
Sunday World-Herald they would con
elude at once that tho people and es
pecially country newspapers which re
presents the sentiment of the country
are opposed to disreputable methods
uaod by certain kinds of politicians,
trust companies and monopolies in order
to gratify some motive that could not
be attained in a fair and honorable way.
But such acts as government by
ioj unction which the gold standard
people are resorting to in their last
day's of rule and ruin, is opening the
eyes of the great mass of the people and
Wore another four years has passed
away the party represented by such
nscn as Judge Keysor and E. Bosewater
of the Bee. will have been numbered
wrth the dead past for, beholeold tilings
will have past away and all tilings will
become new.
Only two week's ago 23,000 cottc-n
operatives of Fall Itiver, Mass., had their
wages cut 10 per cent. Now, on tho
2AUj inst the Manchester (N. Hampshire)
mills have declared a 10 per cent, cut in
tbe wages of its operatives effecting
20,00 hands. Also at Sun Cook, N. II. ,
10 per cent cut of wages has been declar
edaffecting 1500 hands at that point;
And at PawtucketU. I., the Koyal
Weaving Company have shutdown their
mills because the weavers would not
stAQd a cut in wages of 15 xr cent It
is id by the managers of the several
Companies, the cause for cut in wages
ant. shutdown wan over production.
Yet, tbeDingley tariff law is intended to
stimulate production, A little more
Boston went democratic last Tuesday
by 2,300. MeKinley's majority in No

Should tho ex-captain general wyler
of Cuba plan an expedition again.' t the
United States and carry it into effect
this country will be safe so long as cap
tain Levering lives. He would soon d.e
patch the bloody Wyler.
Another huge Octopus in the form of
a coal trust has been formed to control
the coal nies of Illinoies, Ohio, Indiana
the Virginia's and Pennsylvania, which
will absorb $14,000,000 from the people
and turn it into the coffers of J. Pier
point Morgan & Co. This man Morgan
controls 40,000 miles of railroad in the
United States, and not content with that
lie b now turning his attention to getting
hold of the natural resources and public
utilities of the country besides he has
his hand on the finance of the nation.
What are the people thinking about? f
corporations, trusts, and monopolies
continue in the future as they have
been in the past two years, what will
the next four tiring fourth.
On the 30th inst senator Chandler pub
lished or nither, permitted a personal
letter to lw published warning tho
administration and congress that gold
monometallism would defeat the re
publican party ki 1898 and also, in 1900
if the Fresid.mt and secretary Gage's
financial policy was persisted in longer.
Then follows senator Walcot's protest
threatening to resign his seat in the
Senate if the president was determined
to ignore bi-metallism, and asist Wall
st., corporations and trusts to the ex
clusion of all other interests .and the
people of the west and south.
Will tluso man bo denominated cranks
and anarchists by their constituents?
No we do not believe they will, because
iu our opinion these men, though they
have given the administration the bene
fit of every doubt they, now have arriv
ed at the point where the two way's
part, and are justiiied in standing for
the interests of the masses the wealth
produciajf, who are the laboring . class
and which represents H't per cent of the
population of the nation. Bi-metallism
s coming as sure as the sun rises and
ets.

Highliiud
United States senators, Carter of Mon
tana, Shoup of Idaho, Clark and Warren
of Wyoming, Wilson of Washington,
Chandler of New Hampshire, and Hon.
E. O. Wolcot of Colorado, have finally
come to the conclusion, since president
McKinley s first annual message to
congress, on the first of December, en
dorsing and recommending secretary
Gage's prepared bill to congress to re
form of the monetary system, that tho
president is either trying to ride two hors
es at once or, he is only trying to de
ceive them by still further fastening the
single gold standard onto tho people of
the United States, and assist the natio
nal banks to get control of the finance of
the nation. There is no doubt in our
mind but that the Honorable gentlemen
here mentioned have all along been
honest in their support of president Mc
Kinley, because, as they thought he
would b honest, and use every means in
his power to bring about international
bimetallism. But they find out the
president has wholly ignored bi-metal-lisrn,
going so far as to endorse tho res
olutions passed by the Indiannriolis
convention on the 12th of last January,
which he recommended to congress in a
special message last August, and then
the first of this month in his annaul
message to congress when, pretty
near the same principle was embodied
in the form of a bill by the secretary of
the treasury and recommended to con
gress by Mr. McKinley, for their earnest
consideration. Forbearance has ceased
to be a virtue any longer with these
men who have had represented to them
since the election, that the ultimate end
of president McKinley's administration
would bring about international bi
metallism.

How To Find Out
a bottle or common clans with
urine and let it stand twent v-four hours
a sediment or settling indicates an un
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate
or pain in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys a,nd blader are out
of order.
What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that lr. Kilmers
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fullils every wish iu relieving pain iu
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every partof the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, or bad effects fol
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to eret up many times
during the night to urinate. Tiie mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp
Hoot is soon realized. It stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottlo and pamphlet both sent free by
mail. Mention Tim Siocx County
Joct.naj, and send your address to Dr.
Kilmer & Co. . Iiing'hampton, N. Y. The

A Woman "Without a Stomach.
Now that medical skill has attained
the highest round in its ladder of fame
nothing seems to it impossible; at least it
assumes every-lhing. Its latest feat
winch has so astounded the medical
world, was performed in Switzerland, on
ast Septum ber, tho subject was a
woman years of age who had for years
suffered from stomach trouble after
being confined to her bed one month this
woman left the hospital and is now to all
appearances a well woman without a
stomach. She is able to digest all kinds
of foid.
Previous to this operation the stomach
has al way's been considered a vital or
gan. Tho writer is now seriously con
sidering if it would not lie a good thing if
some of us, himself included' should be
relieved of that organ which causes us
so much annoyance, not so much from
its week ni'ss, but because of the dilllcur
y ' we experience in finding enough
dellcat jea to gorge thara with.
