Once again does Mr. Bryan come forth with the announcement that he is not likely to again become a candidate for the presidency; but this is not saying that he would not like to be. Walla Walla socialists have been dis tributing tickets at public places read- ing, "Under socialism every man and woman willing to work will receive an income of $2500 a year." Tut! There are some British newspapers bo foolish as to attempt to frighten Uncle Sam with the threat of a combi- nation by all Europe to crush the trade of the United States and give the gov- ernment a black eye. It would be rather a large contract. Editor Hosewater of Omaha has set W. J. Bryan up as a candidate for gov- ernor of Nebraska. In case of election he is to endeavor to have a democratic legislatnre elected and then himself chosen as United States senator. It may be easier said than done. In the interests of labor the populist* demanded the appointment of the state employment agent in Kansas. Contrary to expectations the official's duty at present is to assist the employer in ob- taining laborers rather than to help the laborers in obtaining employment. Only four new oil companies were in- corporated in the state last week, but their combined capitalization was $4,- --075,000. When the wealth of Washing- ton commences to mount upward from oil production to an extent approaching oil stock issues we will make Mr. Rocke- feller come forth with the check book of the Standard company, or see his mo- nopoly pass into the pastness.says West Coast Trade. Every day the newspapers report sad instances of foolish people who expect to get everything for little or nothing. They vary from gold bricks to impossi- ble profits on small investments. Of course the victims lose the little they have, and we fear the lessons they buy do not last as long as they should. Barnum expressed a great fact when he declared that the people like to be hum- bugged. And civilization seems to niul tiply the opportunities. Washington has steadily advanced among the great grain producing states of the nation until now she holds the fourth place. Kansas leads with 82, 488,655 bushels. Minnesota comes second with 51,609,252 bushels. Cali- fornia ranks third with 2!5,543,025 bushels' and Washington fourth with 25,096,661. Next comes Nebraska with 24,801,900 bushels and Texas sixth with 23,395,913 bushels. The total crop for 1900 is estimated at 522,229,505 bush- els; so this state produced one-twentieth of all the wheat raised in the United States. Moreover the industry is still in its infancy in the Evergreen state. Hundreds of thousands of acres of fine wheat land are still undeveloped. Home- seekers are at present coming to Wash- ington by thousands and large tracts of new land are being taken up every day and the wheat acreage rapidly increased. It will not be many years until Washing ton will be rising to third place, second place, and then let Kansas and Minne- sota look well to their laurels if they ex- pect to keep them, says New West Trade. The ingenuity displayed by the de- partment of agriculture, under Secretary Wilson, in continually finding new ways for making itself useful to the farmer, is something exhilarating when contrasted with the aupinenese and indifference seen in some other quarters of officialdom. Bulletin No. 12G, just issued bj the de- partment, and mailed free on applica- tion, is devoted to "Practical Sugges- tions for Farm Buildings." It gives complete bills of material, drawings and directions for the erection of two or three types of farm dwellings, with the aid of which any intelligent farmer may erect a home largely, if not entirely, by his own labor—a home which will be cheap without being mean; scientifically designed to accord the maximum of comfort for the outlay. The drawings are in sufficient detail and so clear that any one can follow them. Besides the house plans, there are plans tor barns, eilos, etc.; and also sanitary suggestions of exceeding value. The pamphlet should be and doubtless will be the means of leading to the erection of thou- sands of model buildings, put up at no greater outlay than for inferior ones, all over the country. Ita issue by the de- partment is an act of genuine benefi- cence. Cub* and Philippines. The course of evente in Cuba and the Philippines has thus far been favorable from a political standpoint to the ad- ministration. The "paramount issue" of 1900, as defined in the Kansas City platform and elaborated by Mr. Bryan fell about as flat as a pancake before the campaign itself had progressed very far. A series of reverses and misfortunes in the Philippines, and a high-handed course with reference to Cuba might, however, and probably would have hud the effect of creating considerable anti- imperialistic sentiment throughout the couutry, and would have justified the action of the Kansas City convention in defining the issue, even though such sen- timent had developed too late to be of any use on election day, says the Ta- coma News. Hut the opponents of the administra- tion have had no such luck as to profit by blunders in Cuba and an aggravation of trouble in the Philippines. Aguinaldo himself now declares that American sovereignty is better than independence for the Filipinos, and from all accounts the insurrection is now practically at an end. The final attitude of the Cubans as to the deuiauds of congress embodied in the Platt resolution can not be accu- rately predicted, but there is no sign of serious trouble and it is generally ad- mitted that the claims of the American congress are just and reasonable. Presi- dent MeKin ley appears indisposed to "break faith with the Cubans and give the anti-imperialists an opening for a political eword thrust. The issue of imperialism thus appears to be buried as deep as the demand for free silver coinage at the ratio of 10 to 1. The democratic party must, there- fore, exploit another issue, and all mdi cations point to a battle on the question of responsibility for the trusts. That subject was discussed with considerable vehemence in the campaign last year, but the question of party responsibility for the evils of trusts, such as they are, was not clear to any unprejudiced mind, and prosperity was so prevalent as to render the attack on the trusts innocu- ous. The formation of the giant steel trust, the consolidation of railroad fn- terests and the rise in the price of all sorts of commodities since election, are facts, however, which invite t,olitical at- tention and furnish the most natural subject for future political con- troversy. It is not certain, however, that the anti-trust agitation will prove any more effective than the anti imper- ialism issue of last year, unless the factH as to their existence and operation are reinforced by hard times. While pros- perity continues the trusts are quite as likely to obtain credit for the satisfac tory conditions which prevail as they are to merit and receive condemnation on general principles. The outlook .for a reaction from the political sentiment which swept the couutry last fall cer- tainly does not appear promising at the present time. In a recent interview at Kansas City Chas. A. Towne declared of his party: "We cannot overthrow the republican party as long as favorable industrial conditions continue, although that party has not been responsible for those conditions and can lay no claim to bringing them about." The last part of Ida assertion may be dinmisHed as worthy of no more attention than a claim that the apple tree is not responsible for the big red apples hanging to its limbs, says the Pioneer Press. But the first part in intensely interesting as a fresh admission that all the hopes of the pattern of democracy represented by Towne and Bryan are pinned to the coming of in duHtrial disaster. Their prayers, there- fore, are not for a continuance of present favorable industrial conditions—not for continued steady employment for work- ingmen at high wages—not for big crops aud bulging granaries and such traffic as overtaxes the transportation agen- cies of the country—not for propitious breez-s which shall prosper the enter- prises of those whose ships have yet to come in. No! they watch and wait and pine for calamities, for the stoppage of factories; for the conversion of the throngs of workers into armies of hun- gry tramps; for silent shuttles and idle railways; for storms that shall wreck by thousand* the home-comintr ships. For then would come the Bryanite and the Towneite's opportunity! They can profit politically only on the nation's sorrows. By self-coufession their day is the day of the vulture. Thrive Only Upon Calamity by local apulications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There in only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, 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 inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

The American Lumberman publishes some Qgures which should stir con- gress and state legislatures to prompt action touching the preservation of American forests. They ought also to move owners of forest lands to consid- er whether self interest would not re- quire them to take steps to prevent the destruction of their industry. In 1890 the states of Michigan, Wls- vonsin and Minnesota produced 8,597.- --|:m),000 feet of pine lumber. Since then th* product has steadily declined and in 1900 was but 5,485,201,000 feet. Dur- ing the last two years prices of lumber have been high, and there has been ev- ery inducement for the mills to turn out a heavy product Every resource has been strained, but without avail. The trees could not be found. The end of the white pine industry of the north- west is almost at hand. The years of Its greatness are already passed. While the destruction of the forests in the states named has perhaps been more rapid than elsewhere by reason of the proximity to markets and favor- able shipping facilities, all forest sec- tions of the country are suffering irrep- arably from the woodman's ax. Chief Geographer Gannett of the United States geological survey, from the best data obtainable, estimates the total stand of timber throughout the United States at 1,380,000,000,000 feet. In 1890 the cut was about 25,000,000,000 feet, and since that time it has steadily in- creased throughout the country at large, though decreased in some sec- tions by reason of the practical ex- haustion of the supply. At the present rate of consumption the available supply will last not to exceed 50 years and perhaps not so long as that. The present generation is likely to feel the pinch of scarcity. Aside from the meteorological influ- ences of land denudation and Its effect upon the water courses there Is shame- ful waste of natural wealth which is justly a part of the heritage of coming generations. The preservation of the yet remaining forests Is one of the most important matters to which legis- lators, state and national, can direct their wisdom and energy. One of the curious things in Ameri- can life Is the fondness of people and legislators for new laws. Everybody seems to think the millennium can be hastened by legal enactment, and hence legislators every year are busy passing new laws, which sometimes are a dead letter within three months after the date of their supposed enforcement. The billion dollar steel combine need not regard itself as the whole thing. There Is the Standard Oil company, which has a capital of $100,000,000, and every $100 share Is selling above $800. This brings it pretty close up to the billion dollar class. Now Minister Wu desires to say that he never means to be understood as advocating the intermarriage of whites and blacks. It would appear that Mr. Wu would have to restrict his output of talk if he desires to avoid trouble. The chief stenographer of the reichs- tag says that the German emperor talks very fast The stenographer might have added, if he dared to do so, that he talks very much. "Anarchy stalks in Mrs. Nation's wake!" excitedly remarks a Kansas newspaper. If anarchy doesn't look out, it will get hit with a hatchet. King Victor Emmanuel of Italy has succeeded in turning out another piece of state furniture which he will use for a few days as a cabinet. Forewarned, Forearmed. The liability to disease is greatlj lessened when the blood is in good con- dition, and the circulation healthy and vigorous. For then all refuse mattei is promptly carried out of the system , otherwise it would rapidly accumulate — fermentation would take place, the blood become polluted and the consti- tution so weakened that a simple malady might result seriously. A healthy, active circulation means good digestion and strong, healthy nerves. As a blood purifier and tonic S. S. S. has no equal. It is the safest and best remedy for old people and children because it contains no minerals, but is made exclusively of roots and herbs. No other remedy so thoroughly and effectually cleanses the blood of im- fKk s!^ wt^ same time it builds UP the weak and de- bilitated, and reno- vates the entire sys- tem. It cures permanently all mannei of blood and skin troubles. Mr. E. 13. K«lly, of Urban*. 0., writes; I nad Eczema on my bauds and face foi nve years. It would break out in little white pustules, oruats would form and drop off, leaving the akin red and inflam- ed. The doctors did me no good. I used all the medicated aoapa and salves without benefit. S. S. 8. cured me, and my skix is as clear and smooth as any one'a." Mrs. Henry Siegfried, of Cape May, N. J., says that twenty-one bottles of 8. 8. 8. cured her of Cancer of the breast. Doc- tors and friends thought her case hope- less. ; Richard T. Gardner, Florence, S. C, suffered for years with Boils. Two bot- tles of 8. 8. S. put his blood in good con- dition and the Boils disappeared. Dr. John Benson, HOMOEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN. Spec- ialties: Chronic diseases and diseases of women and children.
