Cavalrymen Who ilido Oxen.
, The oddest cavalry In the world Is
maintained on the west coast of .Ma
dagascar by Governor General J. G.
Gallieni. While the French troops in
that country are ample to tm-er. tin ;
occasional revolutions , the governor
general makes use at the native talent
for police work in out of the way lo
calities. On the west coast of Africa
is a tribe of natives , possibly racially
connected with tht ; tlovas. who are
known as the Sakahova. the most
warlike tribe of the country. The na
tives , in imitation of French troop

under command of a French olliccr.
They are armed with modern long-
handled lances or spears and side

a few pence he put on his hat and
went out. The people in the shop

OF THE DAY
I'rosiierity of Farmers.
The Agriculture Department is sup
posed to be run especially for the ben
efit of the farmers , and tiaere is no
cloubt that it has been of great service
to American agriculture. Indeed , it
should be , for the appropriations for
the department are rapidly increasing.
For the fiscal year 1898 3,303,750 was
voted by Congress , and this was in
creased to § 5,978,100 for 1904. Have
the advantages to the farmers in
creased in like proportion to augment
ed appropriations , or is it grown like
the other departments into a machine
for spending money on political favor
ites ? There are some rather annoying
scandals to be explained , such as the
"seed frauds" and the "carriage and
crop report scandals , " which partly ex
plains where the money goes.
Secretary Wilson should look after
matters . - a little closer _ and . stop the
leaks before he gives out interviews
and makes campaign speeches boast
ing of what he has done. Last spring
jecjetary ; Wilson , in an interview
which was widely published in many
newspapers , made wild claims of the
universal prosperity of the farmers.
He said : "They are only interested in
the trusts to know that the securities
issued by the trusts are safe invest
ments. " Mr. Wilson was still further
quoted as saying "that the farmer's
pocketbook is full , that he is a capital
ist , only hunting for investments ,
flooding the Western banks with more
money than they can handle , and send
ing millions to the East for invest
ment. "
The fanners of the country will be
delighted to hear of their tremendous
prosperity , but most of them will prob
ably have to admit that Secretary Wil
son's knowledge of the condition of the
farmers is very limited. He may know
of a few "gentlemen farmers" who
farm for the pleasure of it , who are
interested in knowing that trust se
curities are safe investments , but the
avt-rajje farmer is more interested in
the high trust prices he is paying
would be more near the truth.
As an indication that the farmers'
prosperity is overstated , one of the
large life insurance companies reports
that it increased its loans on farms in
Iowa in 1902 over $4,000,000 , that is ,
the new loans made by this company
exceeded those paid by that amount.
The last Iowa school census shows
that 20,000 farmers have left Iowa ,
mostly to take up lauds in the Cana
dian Northwest. Would they have left
their fertile Iowa fields and the ilag
under which they were born to make
new homes 1,500 miles nearer the north
pole if prosperous ?
Does that look like the transcend
ing prosperity of the farmers of the
banner agricultural State of the Union
that Secretary Wilson talks so glibly
about. There is no doubt tnat a series
of favorable circumstances , among
them the Chinese-Japanese war , the
war in South Africa , the war with
Spain , and the present war in the East
has increased the demand for the sur
plus products of the farms. This in-
crease , demand could have made the
farmers very prosperous , but trust
high prices were gnawing at their
vitals and deprived them of the prof
its they were entitled to. That process
Is still going on and the farmer that
Secretary Wilson talks about must be
a rara avis , .and even he , in his hunt
for investments , has met vast losses
by the depreciation of nearly all class-
es of securities. The beef trust alone
has fiieched millions of dollars from
the pockets of the farmers by forcing
down the price of cattle and hogs and
raising the price of beef and pork to
the consumers.
* If Secretary Wilson , instead of mak
ing exaggerated statements of the
prosperity of the farmers , would urge
President Roosevelt and his Cabinet
to take real action against the beef
trust magnates , instead of temporary
injunctions which have had. no effect ,
he would come nearer earning Ms sal
ary. Congress appropriated $500,000
to prosecute trsuts , but the Depart-
ment of Justice has only expended $25-
000 in hunting them , and , so fax , has
not bagged a single induetrial trust.
The protective tariff fosters the trusts.
and allows them to sell their products
cheaper abroad than here , and the Re
publican platform and President
Roosevelt in his speech of acceptance
approve the protection policy and have
declared their intention to hold fast
to it.
Pleasure and Politics.
If anyone thinks that President
Roosevelt is not busy these days , be
cause he is not talking for publication ,
they are much mistaken. The Presi
dent is fully employed from morning
to night , although he only devotes a
"short hour" for the duties of his
office. It frets and worries him that
he cannot be more in the public eye ,
but the Republican leaders have im
pressed on h/a / that he must keep
quiet. So he takes long tramps , rides
and drives , camps out , boxes , wrestles ,
/Slices with the broad sword and sin
gle sticks , rows. , chops trees , plays ten
nis with his cabinet the younger
members shoots with rifle and revol
ver , and to fill in spare time jlu jitsu ,
the Japanese muscular training for
mula. Those are the amusements.
Then there are political conferences
with Platt , Odell , Root , Lodge , Cor-
telyou , Addicks , Black and "Lou"
Payne , and "fixing things" with Mor
gan , Stillman , Gould and other Wall
street and trust magnates , all of which
takes time and lots of it.
In fact , most of the time of Mr.
Roosevelt since he was accidentally
inducted into the presidential office
has been occupied in like strenuous
occupation , much to the detriment of
the serious business of the govern
ment. "Think of the record breaking
swing around the circle at me expense
of the railroads , " says the New York
World ; "the balancing of Platt with
Odell , the placating of this enemy and
the crushing of that , the careful selec
tion of delegates , the procuring of cop
per-bound instructions , the choice of a
running mate , the elimination of all
but the plastic Cortelyou from consid
eration for national chairman , the can
ning of the platform , the choice of
orators , the revision and toning down
of those extravagant words of eulogy
which rose so spontaneously from the
fullness of his heart to the lips of
Prank S. Slack would it be too much
to say that these matters of such great
personal import 'occupied half of his
waking hours and all of his dreaming
ones ? "
A Republican
Hven thy most hide-bound Repub
lican newspapers occasionally ac
knowledge the Avay the protective tar
iff plunders the people for the benefit
of the protected trusts. Now the elec
tion approaches and the Republican
platform and President Roosevelt have
both declared that protection must be
adhered to , the organs grind out the
same tunes.
The Chicago Inter Ocean is perhaps
the most intensely partisan and truly
loyal of all the Republican organs , yet
ou Sept. 1C last it evidently felt that
the G. O. P. must be stayed in its way
ward course' ' of protecting the few at
the expense of the many or disaster to
the Republican party would be inevit
able. The editorial referred to shows
that the boasting of President Roose
velt about our prosperity under Re
publican policies is only for a part of
the people , and that the majority are
getting worse oil' through the in
creased cost of living. The Democrats
have so often proved these facts that
it is an old tale , and thought by many
to be exaggerated for partisan pur
poses , but here comes the bitter , biting
blast from this organ of protection ,
which in a sane moment tells the truth
when it says :
"Yet it may be doubted if one-half
the heads of American families are in
as favoraJjle a position as they were
in 1S97. The third party the major
ity who are neither capitalists nor able
to fortify themselves behind labor
union Avails is to-day giving more
proportionately than in 1897 , Avhile
getting only the same.
"When capitalists combine to raise
prices , reduce expenses , or anticipate
profits it is this third party that pays
the higher prices , stands the reduction
of expenses , and converts the antici
pated profits Into actual ones. "
It is well to ponder on that and con
sider Avhence it came , to thoroughly
understand the admissions of the enor
mity of the crime that the Republicans
have fastened on those of limited in
comes , and then further consider an
other paragraph from the same deliv
erance :
"The plain truth is that fully one-
half the workers of the United States
the men whose incomes are from
$600 to ? 3GCO a year , the men who
are neither in trusts nor labor unions ,
have not been getting their share of
the national prosperity. They are
working for the prosperity of capital
and organized labor , but no one is
working for them. And under this
burden they are becoming exhausted. "
That is as the Inter Ocean says ,
"the plain truth. " But the men who
control the dominant party still shout ,
"Let weJl enough alone. " "Stand pat. "
"Hands off. "
Political Potpourri.
The juggled figures of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor on the
cost of living and Avages will not fool
a single wage earner or his Avife , if he
has one , either.
J. Pierpont Morgan is for Roose
velt He was given the handling of
the Panama Canal payment , with the
understanding that he would "let up
on Roosevelt. "
When the experts of the Department
of Commerce and Labor made out
their schedule of what it costs the
workingman to live , did they allow for
the high price of beef and the fact
that a good many are forced to a vege
tarian diet ?
J. Pierpont Morgan tells the "Four
Hundred" at Newport that "things are
looking better all the time , " and in-
ferentiall } ' that stocks are a good pur
chase. More than a year ago Mr.
Morgan gave out a similar tip , and a
complete collapse in the stock market
folloTrGd Avithin a few months.
It is reported that Secretary Shaw
will again adopt the expedient of
'stimulating the national bank circula
tion" by taking other security than
government bonds. Of course the ex
cuse is to "move the crops , " but the
only crop that will be moved.by it will
be the Wall street crop of watered
stocks. "

Fibroid Tumors Cured.
A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor ,
which baffled the skill of Boston doctors.
_
f > "
Mrs. Hayes , of Boston , Mass. , in
the following letter tells how she was
cured after else failed
, everything , by
Lydia E , Pinkham's Vegetable Compound *
Mrs. Hayes * First Letter Appealing1 to Mrs. Piiilcliam for Help :
"DEAR MRS. PIXKITAM : I have been under Boston doctors' treat
ment for a long time without any relief. They tell me C have a fibroid
tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain , and the soreness extends
up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My ab
domen is swollen , and I haAre had flowing1 spells for three years. My ap
petite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time.
"The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac
curately describe my case , so I write to you for advice. " ( Signed ) Jilrs.
E. F. IIAYES , 252 Dudley St. , ( Roxbury ) Boston , Mass.
Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham's advice al
though she advised Mrs. Hayes , of Boston , to take
her medicine which she knew would help her
her letter contained a mass of additional instruc
tions as to treatment , all of which helped to bring
about the happy result.
"DEAR MRS. PIXKHAM : Sometime ago I wrote to you describ
ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied , and I followed
all your directions carefully , and to-day I am a well woman.
" The use of JDydia E. Pinlclmm's Vegetable Compound entirely
expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk
miles now.
" Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth five dol
lars a drop. I athise all women who are afflicted with tumors or
female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial. " ( Signed ) MKS _
E. F. HAYES , 252 Dudley St. , ( Roxbury ) Boston , Mass.
Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony or talc ©
the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes.
Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing :
evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands-
without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women ; all'
ovarian troubles ; tumors ; inflammations ; ulceration , falling awl dis
placements of the womb ; backache ; irregular , suppressed or painful *
menstruation. Surely the volume and character of the testimonial let
ters we are daily printing hi the newspapers can leave no room for doubt.
Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters
which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness.
Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too
great for her to take in return for her health and happiness.
Truly is it said that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Coia-
pound that is curing so many women , and no other medicine ; don't for-
get this when some druggist wants to sell you something else. * '
