Congressman John Allen tells this
- story: "A widow in my district de
sired a position in the agricultural
department. There was no vacant
-place. un.l I whs compelled to inform
my constituent that I could do noth
ing for her until a vacancy arose.
But she persisted in her efforts to
obtain a position, and for two weeks
- thereafter met me at every turn.
One morning I had just finished
breakfast, when I was told that she
was awaiting me in the reception
room. So I assumed a pleasant de
meanor, and entering the room, said,
in a sympathetic voice: 'Well, my
good woman, what news?' 4Good

Tbe Following Letter.
J!y Dear Sir: Your letter, asking my Itn
pressious as a physician, of the Black Hills
country as a health resort it before me.
I made a personal investigation of the Hot
Springs in South Dakota, and believe they
are of great value to invalids. Water, free
from organic compounds or chemical im
purities, and a delightfully pure, dry atmos
phere with plenty of sunshine, arc essential
for the repair of diseased tissues, and such
conditions obtain at Hot Springs. S. D. Rut I
am specially interested in the study and
treatment of nervous disease, and it was for
the purpose of informing myself of the bene
ficial effects to lie derived to that class of
Suffering humanity" that directed my in
vestigations. For such ailments I find the
atmospheric conditions especially commend
able, being light and whollv free from that
humidity so prevalent In till and lower
altitudes. The clear, pure springs aro con
stantly issuing out of the rocks at temper
ature about eiiuul to the normal body heat
and potent in therapeutic properties that aro
very superior in benefitting nervous affec
tion. The high altitude provides a pure, dry air
not iiossihle in other health resorts however
artificially beautified. To the pleasure seeker,
who is desirous of rest and recuperation from
the daily duties of routine business or pro
fessional life, there is no better locality.
Hotels arc Inviting and moderate in rates,

Gentlemen Twenty years ago I had some
trouble with my stomach. As I grew older
the trouble became worse, and for the last
few years I have not been able to work the
greater part of the time. I have taken
treatment from several doctors, some of
specialists, but without benefit. Last winter
tne pain in my stomach became so intense
that I had to resort to opiates for relief.
For six weeks I was not able to leave my
bed. My stomach wonld not retain food,
it being so weak. Morphine and laudanum
were the only medicines that gave me any
relief, and that only a little while at a
time. My brother, seeing your advertise
ment in an Omaha paper, ordered a pack
age of Or. Kay's Renovator, which I began
taking. After the first dose I quit taking
morphine, and I have not had any pain in
my stomach since. My appetite is good and
Ieatanything.and now feel like a new man.
I can cheerfully recommend Dr. Kav's
Renovator to all who are suffering with
stomach trouble. Gratefully yours,

(Washington Letter.)
The Bryan and Bailey factions of
the democracy are continuing to make
faces at each other across the hall of
the house of representatives at Wash
ington. The followers of Representa
tive McMillan who wanted to keep up
the combination made with the Popu
lists last fall and support tbe sock
less Simpson in bis attacks upon Speak
er Reed, were mercilessly spanked by
the Balleyites in caucus the other day.
The populist leader appealed to tbe
Democrats for their co-operation in bis
joust at Speaker Reed, and a few of Um
Bryan followers had the temerity to
respond to the call when 'Speaker"
Bailey adjourned the house, called a
caucus in five minutes and after read
ing the riot act to the Bryanites voted
them down two to one and adopted a
resolution ordering tiem to desist
from further co-operation with the
Populists, at least in the matter then
under consideration.
Those Democrats who were at first
inclined to exult over their party's suc
cesses in the recent municipal elec
tions, are finding the figures cold com
fort. In Chicago they were unable to
at all increase their vote and only held
their own in numbers by reason of the
fact that a large number of those who
always vote against them in nation
al elections co-operated with them on
this occasion on purely local issues.
This was found to be the case every
where. National issues cut no fig
ures at all in the municipal elections
while in the state of Rhode Island in
which the national questions were the
leading Issues the Republican vote in
crenscd 20 per cent over that of the
presidential election of 1S9G.
A Week or Good Work.
Tariff and bimetallism, those two
great issues of the campaign, have
been prominently at the front during
the present week in Washington. And
those people who doubted or professed
to doubt the sincerity of the profes
sions of the Republican party on either
of these subjects have found that they
were mistaken. A thoroughly protec
tive taiiff, one which looks after the
interests of the farmer and the work
ing uiaa; that is what the new Dingley
act is to be when it gets upon the
statute books, what it is, in fact, to
day, for the probabilities are that it
will be little changed by the senate.
Earnest and intelligent efforts in be
half of international bimetallism that
is what this week's work means upon
that subject. The appointment of the
commission whose names have already
been given the public assures prompt,
vigorous, and, it is to be hoped, suc
cessful work.
The Illmetallic Commission.
The appointment of Senator Wolcott
of Colorado, ex-Vice-President Steven
son of Illinois, and Hon. C. J. Paine of
Massachusetts as commissioners to
pave the way for an international con
ference has been cordially commend
ed. Until this week nobody knew
definitely what the president's plans
were in regard to this question. It
was known that he was extremely anx
ious to take the proper steps toward
carrying o..t the pledge of the party
looking to international consideration
of the silver question, but just how he
proposed to bring this about or to take
the initiative, nobody was able to say.
It now appears that, as usual, he has
chosen the wise plan and one most
likely to be successful. Not only has
he chosen the plan most likely to be
successful, but the one likely to be
most successful. Ry this is meant that
if he is able to carry out the plans
thus inaugurated the international con
ference will i:c hi ought to the doors of
every AmericiMi otcr. President Mc
Kinley's hope is t - :t may be prac
ticable to hold this it iference in the
United States and in the city of Wash
ington. If tliis shall happen every
American citizen will have the full
benefit of the discussion which there
arises. It will be as though the meet
ing of the representatives of the great
nations was brought to his own door
yard. With press associations carry
ing the full proceedings of the confer
ence and the hundreds of special cor
respondents in Washington comment
ing upon the proceedings in the pa
pers which they represent, every citi
zen who feels the slightest interest in
this question would be able to follow
the proceedings and study them in their
proper light, thus knowing for himself
that the work was well done. The
commissioners who are to go abroad
to try to bring about an agreement for
a conference are highly commended by
members of all parties as especially
judicious selections. Mr. Wolcott, by
reason of his long study of the ques
tion and discussion on two previous
trips abroad of this same subject, will
be of much greater value than any man
who has not had these experiences;
ex-Vice-President Stevenson repre
senting the silver element of the de
mocracy and well known by reputa
tion and in person abroad will instantly
command attention, while Mr. Paine,
as a close student of this subject will
prove equally useful and influential. It
does not follow that these men who are
selected for this work are to be the
representatives of the United States in
an international conference if they are
successful in bringing one about; on
the contrary, it is expected that other
men will be selected to represent the
government in that conference.
Progress of the Tariff.
The people who are assuming that
the tariff bill is likely to drag through
the summer and keep the business of
the country in an unsettled conditio
awaiting final action, are to be disap
pointed. The next week or ten days
at the furthest are likely to see tbe
bill perfected by the Republican mem
bers of the finance committee and it Is
likely to get into the senate before the
month ends. Prospects now seem to
be good for a final vote upon it in
June and its completion in time that it
may go into effect at the beginning of
the fiscal year July 1st.
The changes made by the senate com
mittee are much less in extent and
importance than had been expected.
The pressure for a reduction in the du
ties on wool has not been successful
thus far and the chances seem to be
that they will not be. The demand
of the sugar trust for changes in tbe
schedule advantageous to them has
been promptly rejected. The wail of
the standard oil trust and of sundry
other corporations of this character
have passed unnoticed. These Demo
crats and Populists and other .enemies
of the Republican party who had hoped
to he able to make political capital by
charging that the tariff bill was favor
able to corporations and trusts are dis
appointed. And they will continue to
be disappointed.
G. H. WILLIAMS.
Bevtval.
Tbe wholesale merchants of Kansas
C4ty report that they received larger
aad more numerous orders 1b- tha
month of March than they received Ja
aay month of last year. In nearly every
branch of .trade there is more activity,
-with indications that things will grow
batter from this lime forward. Such
reports as these are the best evidence
that a healthful revival of business is
at hand. Many retailers have not yet
experienced any substantial gain in
business, but their trade is less rapidly
affected by improved conditions. Th
wholesalers first feel the effects of re
stored confidence and the release of
hoarded money.- Such evidence as they
give refutes tbe taunts of those who
demand spectacular results, as if there
had been any promise that the new ad
ministration would witness an imme
diate revival of all the interests that
flourished before the great depression.
The most hopeful change is that indi
cated by the gradual increase in the
volume of trade, for that denotes natu
ral and conservative enterprise. There
is nothing fictitious about the improve
ment in business conditions, whatever
the scope of that improvement may be.
But when it is shown that in a single
state 100,000 more men are employed
now than were employed before No
vember last, and when 'large dealers
make like comparisons between the
trade at this time and that before the
presidential election, the . pessimists
and the sneerers should be silent.
Kansas City Journal.
"laexcasable Cowardice.
The men who style themselves "sil
ver Republicans" have told the country
why they refused to vote on one side
or the other on the Dingley bill when
that measure passed the bouse. "We
took this course," said Representative
Hartman, of Montana, "to prevent the
diversion of the great issue of current
politics from silver to the tariff. Our
object was to emphasize tbe fact that
the tariff is not and can not be made
the main issue, and to give warning
that the silver people will not accept
the tariff as the paramount question
of the time." According to the same
authority another reason for the refusal
to vote was that the joint caucus of the
Populists of both branches of congress
and a private conference of the Teller
ites urged this inaction.
This is presumption and cowardice
of a particularly inexcusable character.
A handful of men arrogate to them
selves in their prejudice and blindness
the right to dictate to the great body
of congress what is and what Is not
an issue, without having the courage or
capactiy to reveal their position in a
manly and practical way. St Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Trouble for Two.
Two classes of people have failed to
prosper since the election of McKinley.
One of these classes is composed of sil
ver advocates, the other the trusts. The
election of McKinley and the rejection
of the free silver proposition started
similar action by some other nations
which had been looked to as support
ers of the silver theory, and the friends
of free coinage have witnessed with
dismay the transfer of Japan, Russia
and China to the gold standard col
umn. The trusts have also fared as
badly. The railroad corporations,
the sugar trust, the standard oil trust
and many minor organizations of this
character have received stunning blows
within the few months since the elec
tion of 189C, and will suffer still more
when the new tariff law goes into ef
fect and deprives them of the advan
tages which they have enjoyed under
the Wilson law.
Wilftoo'a Wall.
Ex-Postmaster-General Wilson, in
continuation of his protest against the
r.ew t.-iff bill, has evidently persuad
ed himself that the measure vill in
some way be injurious to the farmers.
He doesn't tell why or how, but he
hints at an explanation in this vague
and uncertain way:
"For thirty yeais the fanner was de
luded by the cry of a 'home market,'
and of the benefit in store for him from
'bringing the factory to the farm.'
Factories were built up. but he saw
them filled, not with living consumers
of his products, but chiefly with ma
chinery. of iron and steel."
Mr. Wilson's sneer at the "home mar
ket" idea is distinctly that of the free
tiade theorist who imagines that it is
better for the American farmer to sell
one bushel of grain to English buyers
than it is to sell three bushels to Amer
ican consumers. The fact that the
home market absorbs SO per cent of
our agricultural products counts for
nothing with Mr. Wilson. He doesn't
consider that this market needs or de
serves any protection, and he would
neglect it or impair its purchasing
power by forcing its industrial ele
ments into wage-cutting competition
with foreign labor. The farmer's real
interest lies in a system that will main
tain and expand the domestic demand
for his produce, and this is to be found
in a tariff that will open the mills, pro
vide employment for labor and encour
age the extension of native enterprise.
Agricultural prosperity cannot exist
without industrial prosperity. They
are dependent on each other. When
one thrives the other will thrive with
it, and the man who attempts to con
vince the farmer and the mechanic
that their interests are conflicting is
an enemy to both. Mail and Express.
Save the 0100,000,000.
A payment of about 1100,000,000 an
nually to foreign countries for a pro
duct adapted to our own soil and cli
mate is plainly an industrial error.
Within the last ten years attention has
been directed to this wasteful method
of conducting business, and signs are
multiplying that the proper remedies
will be applied. Last year every pound
of wheat and flour exported was re
quired to pay for the sugar imported.
Our exports of cotton were only dou
ble the value of the sugar imported.
The value of all exports of live and
dressed beef, beef products and lard
just about balanced that of the sugar
bought abroad. It is now known be
yond question that tbe sugar beet can
be grown in many of our states and of
a quality unsurpassed anywhere. The
genius of Americans in tbe use of ma
chinery is an assurance that the sugar
beet factories will return good divi
dends. What measure of protection
should be granted by the government
is a subject to be considered with care.
Meantime, states and localities are dis
posed to encourage the new industry
with so many millions in it St Louis
Globe-Democrat
The Senate and the Hoase.
Generally speaking, whatever the
house is enthusiastically in favor of the
Eenate regards with cool and critical
calmness, and vice versa. In the same
way, no matter how much in sympathy
the congress may be with the execu
tive, it is sure to guard Jealousy. Jts
rights in all financial matters. It is
said that President McKinley has a
compreheasiye plan of currency reform
which ha will recommend in his mes
sage next December. As the President
is an old hand in congressional mat
tershaving la that a huge advantage
over Mr. Cleveland he ought to know
that no congress will be likely to fol
low the dictates of the President In any
matter of taxation or finance. Already
the men who hope to be on the house
committee on banking and currency
and the senators on the finance com
mittee are saying that they understand
their own business, and propose t
originate any currency scheme which
ia presented to the country. Illustrated
American.
Factories and Frotectloa Keatlaieat.
The springing up of factories
throughout the south has been fol
lowed by a growth of protective senti
ment and Republican membership in
congress from that section. More than
thirty votes from the south were cast
for a protective tariff measure in the
bouse, and the southern states had
thirty-three Republican members in
last congress, while in no preceding
congress had the party been represent
ed by more than half that number from
that section. When Democrats from
North and South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas join
with the Republicans in supporting
protective views and a protective tariff
bill, there can remain no doubt of the
growth of Republican principles in that
section.
Five Bad Meatha for SUvcr.
The five months since the election
have been bad ones for the silver cause.
Japan, to which the silver people were
accustomed to point as the most bril
liant exponent, of the advantages of
the free coinage of silver, has adopted
tbe gold standard at the ratio of 32 to
1. Russia, which was accounted a sil
ver country, has announced that she
is going to the gold standard. China,
which, with her 400,000,000 people.was
accounted in tbe list of silver users,
announced through her officials a car
rency change which is equivalent to tht
adoption of the gold standard. Truly
these are depressing1 days for the free
silver theorists.
The only persons who are express
ing dissatisfaction with the new tariff
bill are the foreigners and importers.
Germany, Canada, England, and other
foreign countries are scolding about th&
Dingley bill; 6o is tbe reform club, of
New York, which is made up principal
ly of importers.
The Reform club of New York is
spreading broadcast over the country
an offer of newspaper plate matter
with which it proposes to attack tho
Dingley bill. This is not surprising.
The Reform club is composed mostly
of importers, who naturally want a
low tariff, and .are against protection.
The chief objection offered to the
Dingley bill is that It is a bill. The
people want it to become an act and

HAYSEED AT THE THEATER.
Reads His Programme by the Light of
Aaaaraace aad Matches.
He was middle-aged, guileless of
aspect, slightly gray, wore store clothes
and silver spectacles and had whiskers,
says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It
required no sign on his back for one to
discern he was from out of town. The
only urban characteristics he possessed
were an independent air and a nerve
that air born of money. in the pocket
and that nerve the outcome of being
the whole thing in a country town. He
went to the theater the other night, got
there late and had a seat in the rear
of the house. For a time he watched
the antics of the nipper-legged come
dian and the "frivoling" soubrette. He
had never seen them before and he
wanted to see who they were, but the
theater was too dark for reading the
program. Then he did something no
city-bred man would have thought of
doing in a thousand years. He struck
half a dozen matches and read the bill
of the play from end to end. It was
all over by the time the ushers had no
ticed what they thought was a private
bonfire and reached his seat He had
settled back comfortably and looked
so innocent the manager wouldn't let
him be disturbed with a warning. "It's
so refreshing," explained the manager,
"to find such nerve, and, besides, a suc
cessful manager must always watch out
for suggestions as to the comfort of
his audiences. I thing I shall have
baby-sized incandescent lights like they
have for the orchestra attached to the
back of every seat. Everybody doesn't
carry matches, you know. A lady in
that old sport's place would have had
to wait until the lights went up."
lllttoric Franciscan Missions.
The historic old Franciscan missions
in California, established by the illus
trious Father Juniper Serra, O. S. F.,
and his companions, and which will
ever hold a place in the most glorious
annals of the church, formed a part of
the St. Louis province of the Sacred
Heart until 'last year, when, together
with some stations of the order in Ari
zona, they were constituted a commis
sariat, or dependent province, with
Father Clementine Deymann, O. S. F.,
as provincial. The best preserved of
these missions at the present time is
that of Santa Barbara, which serves as
the novitiate of the new California pro
vince. The peace and sanctity of this
historic spot were rudely broken in
February, 1896, when the venerable su
perior, Father Ferdinand Bergmeyer,
O. S. F., a man universally beloved by
Catholics and non-Catholics alike, was
fatally shot by a lunatic, who had long
been afforded a home by the hospitable
friars. Donahoe's Magazine.

1NDINO OP GRAIN.
Why MeCoraalcTt Chaa f rata a left
ta a KScht Kaaa aUaaerw
When binding was done by hand
tha left hand cot harvester was a ae-
cesaity. With
the left hand
machine the
heads of the
grain are at the,
left band of thp
man doing tbe
binding, so in
taking out tbe
bundle with tbe
band around It,
whether the man
turned to the
front table or to
tbe back table be
kept his position
toward the bun
dle itself that
is. with the heads towards his left
hand; hence, in making tbe tuck he
shoved the ends under the band toward
the heads. Grain is handled by the
shocker by grasping Into the heads, as
shown in tbe illustration, and the tuck
should therefore be toward tbe heads,
so that It will not pull out
The applications of roller bearings to
grain cutting machinery was made by
J. G. Perry in 1869, and his patent. No.
86.584, for an improved reaper, showed
and described various ways of using
roller and ball bearings in harvesters.
Unquestionably the most practical and
satisfactory applications of roller bear
ings 'to binders and mowers has been
made by the McCormlck Harvesting
Machine Company. The Particular form
used by them was patented in 1882 and
is now to be found in all McCormlck
machines. The especially valuable fea
ture of the McCormlck roller bearing
is seen In the form or cage as it is
called which holds the rollers from
running together, and if for any cause
ho cage is taken from the shaft tha
rollers will not fall out and get lost.
In order to avoid the McCormlck pa
tent the other harvesting machine com
pany who claims to be the originator of
roller bearings in harvesters has cut
out the metal in the ring at the ends of
the rollers. If the cage is taken out
the rollers slip out and become filled
with grit, or worse, get lost Tho
methods of the McCormlck Company
result In an annual saving of many
thousands of dollars to the farming
public New devices are not embodied
in their machines until long and oft
repeated trials have shown them to be
practical. It has been the same with
roller bearings as with everything else
McCormlck experimenting is don at
McCormlck expense.
Saeealate Make People Angry.
Why is it that it make? nearly
everyone angry to sneeze? Ono
will generally hear an exclamation
of impatience after a 6neoze. Dele
gate heard a gentleman let off sev
eral ot these staccato explosions tho
other day and between every snort
ho gave vent to lively expressions o
sulphuric adjectives. Asked why h&
did it he said ho always had to
sneezo when he didn't want to. It
interrupted his business and jarred
him from center to circumference,
and he didn't like it It was a use
less and harrowing expenditure of
time. Women do not like to sneeze.
Thoy may give vent to ever so small
a "cat sneeze," but it causos them
to mako such unbecoming faces, dis
turbs their complaisance, disar
ranges their hair, their bonnets, and
sets them all on edge, and tbey
haven't any use for it anyway. And
yet scientists say the sneeze is bene
ficial; that it is a healthful provision
of nature; shakes up tho constitution
And prevents clogging and sluggish
ness of the circulation. This may
bo true, but mankind would much
pro for some other method of regu
lating constitutional matters.

The May Atlantic.
The Mav number of the Atlantic
Monthly takes up the problems of ru
ral New England in two articles which
present a study of country life in two
ttinereni communities in iwu uiucreui
states. These descriptions of the pres
ent life and ways of the rural popula
tion throw light on such problems as
these: whether the rush to the cities
is likely to leave the country barren of
men; whether the falling away from
the old-time religious beliefs is causing
a deterioration of character; whether
the civic pride of the country is now
decaying; and whether the staunch
and homely virtues of preceding gen
erations are maintained. These two
articles have been prepared for the
Atlantic by two writers of experience,
who have made special studies on the
ground for this purpose.
