6 THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. PA. Political Argument Against Fact. The moving looms and spindles of otir textile factories are the all-sufficient answer to the questions about dull times thut Mr. McKinley pro pounded in his recent campaign speech la Maire. Had such a calamity speech been made when the mills were actually closed up by high pro tectionists, (closed under the opera tions of the McKinley tariff, long before the passage of the Wilson bill) it would have condemned the author of such argument. But now to cry depression in the face of an inevitable boom, reminds us of the ridiculous rain maker who tries in vain to raise thunder sufficient to coax down the least bit of a redeeming shower. Ridicule rather than rain falls upon the rain-maker and calamity howler. There is only one thing left for our fostered and protected industries to do, if they would preserve the thunder of such speeches, and that is to close up their factories again and thus make times dull indeed. The trouble now is that they can't afford to close up. They have already learned some thing about the cost of closing for political effect. They had rather the campaign orator's speech about dull times should make him appear ridicu lous than to attempt to help him out by actually closing up again. Now is the very time they should close in order to give force to the words of the calamity howler; but the trouble is they are now cornered in such a way that all they can do is to reduce wages and charge it up .to the Wilson bill. That's just what they want to do. But here, again, is trouble in the shape of strikes where the reduction of wages is unreasonable. If home factories want to fill the home demand for their wares they must now try to keep moving, or else foreign products will certainly fill the demand. The threat to reduce wages to the rates paid pauper labor abroad is an other bit of Republican deception that has been too long practiced upon the unsophisticated voter. He is just beginning to notice that the highest wages paid in America are the wages paid to foreigners who do about all otir reining, ice. And when you cut the foreigner's wages down to the rates paid Americans he soon finds his way back to the so called " pauper" field of fo'eign labor from whence he came. If there is any class of men in this country paid better than our miners then the writer fails to know it And if they are accustomed to "pauper" wages abroad, is it likely that American wages would insult them and not hold them ? Is it not the truth that the protective combine contemplates the highest wages for foreign labor, and that the deluded American consumer shall foot the bill every time he buys coal or iron or anything else highly protected in the interest of the manufacturer. What ever the intent and purpose, is not this the practical effect? Unveiled and unraveled of all political sophistry that is the way the naked fact looks to us. If we are mistaken in this view and about these things, which pertain so much to equity and fairness as between the rich manufacturers and the poor consumers of this country, then we want to find it out before we come to vote. The party (no matter as to name it bears) that forgets to be equitable as between the masses and the classes is the party against which we shall vote while we keep our right mind and enjoy contempla ting integrity and good government " by, of and for the people." One word describes it ''perfec tion." We refer to De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve ; cures obstinate sores, burns, skin diseases and is a well known cure for piles. W. S. Rishton Druggist. tf. Senator Hill Diagnosed. Senator Vest throws back his vest and says of Senator Hill : 4,He is a man without appetite or passions, not a great man in point of intellect, but a great woiker and what might be termed a political corporation. 'Hill represents the fighting Dem ocracy of New Yoik,"' said the sena tor, "and I believe he will defeat Mor ton who will be bled until he will give up no more. Hill's opposition to the Wilson bill was because of his opposi tion to the income tax. He agreed with Gorman and Brice on every part of the bill except the income tax. To that he was irrevocably opposed, for , two reasons : First, because he want ed to strengthen himself with the busi ness men and capitalists of New York, who had always heen against him and for Cleveland. Second, because he did not want to drive from the Dem ocratic party in New York the men who made liberal subscriptions for campaigns. 11.11 is a practical politi cian. If he has any sentiment it is hatred to Cleveland. He determined not to give up his hold in New Y'ork whatever might happen and he played the opposition there to the income tax as his trump card.

Accord ingly, we are pleased to remark that "Flying Jib" flew over a mile tract re cently in one minute and fifty-nine and a half seconds. "Flying Jib" is a pacer that paces at a very rapid pace, it seems. The following more minute report gives the details in full: Chilucothe, Ohio, Sept. 30. The narre of Flying Jib is on the tongue of every horseman here to-night, on account of the wonderful mile paced by this celebrated gelding at the kite track to day. Flying Tib, hitched to a running mate, paced a mile in the phenomenal time of 1.59J, lowering the record of a.oif, made by West niont in Chicago in 18S4 at this style of racing, a seconds. The perfor mance does not constitute a record, as this method of pace making is not recognized as legal, and has no bear ing on Robert J's valid record of 2.01 J. At one o'clock the "Jib" was brought on the track and in the pres ence of 1,000 people was sent a warm ing up heat in a.r5. In a few minutes he again came on the track driven by Andy McDowell and after scoring once his driver nodded for the word "go." Up the track the fleet-footed animal went without a skip, while the spectators held their breath in amaze ment. In he came to the home stretch apparently going faster every step. When the time of 1.59 was announ ced the spectators could scarcely be lieve it and still more dumbfounded were they when the last half of the mile was announced as being made in 58 seconds. This demonstrates very clearly that the Chillicothe track is the fastest in the country, it being smooth as a table. All the visiting horsemen here and the city is full of them, say that if the weather is favorable this week more records will be smashed at this meeting than at any meeting held this year. He Fakes no Bisks ! North Fole expeditions, like Sena- j torial Summer jaunting parties, might De dispensed with without any great injury to the nation or the funds in her treasury. The money already spent by this Government in vainly searching after the North role would no doubt pay the bounty heretofore paid on sugar and thus make Hae meyer happy and perpetually solidify Louisiana. The latest from the latest North Pole expedition is from the noble and self sacrificing Lieutenant Peary. He writes from the icebergs of Cape Elizabeth that he is confident of carrying out his plans. Whatever they are, it is likely it will be just as cold in that latitude after Peary's plans are fully carried out as it was before. Its the incessant frosliness of that latitude that reveals the folly of all such expensive expeditions in our opinion. Why not hunt the Scuth Pole awhile? In the same epistle re ferred to the brave lieutenant writes that he did not fully realize his plans last year ; but that he has still another year before him in other words, his provender is yet good for a year. He very truthfully mentions, as the prin cipal obstacle in the way of his success that the weather is both cold and rough where he is, and we not pre pared to dispute it, or to urge him into colder and rougher weather for fear he'l! freeze. By way of consola tion to friends and relatives in this more comfortable latitude the lieu tenant says : "Whatever you may see in the papers to the contray, I have ample provisions for the next year. My party, though small, is an effective one, and we can remain here with the most complete safety. Every native in the tribe is a friend and assistant, and I shall take no risks. Iam only work ing to carry out my plans, and shall take no risks to accomplish them." Deafness Cannot be Oared by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is 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 re sult, and unless the inflammation can betaken 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..

' Congressmen hare queer appetites, and sometimes evince taste not known to the epicure. At the older hotels in Washington, a fourth meal known as supper is served from nine o'clock to midnight, and this often become the jollieat feast of the day. Where a num ber of Congressmen are housed at one hotel, they form a large supper party, and from the hilarity that reigns a looker-on would imagine they were im bibing champagne or other exhilarating liquids without end. Often, however, if you eonld look over their shoulders, you would be astounded to see every one of those Congressmen eating bowto of innocent mnsh and milk. Another Congressional food is apples. It is a very familiar sight during the sessions of Congress to see a member of the House open his desk, extract a rosy apple, bring out a large jackknife from his pocket, and then seek the seclusion of the cloak-rooms to devour the feast Kudck"a0bt by Fahoeam. It was Archie Cole's wedding day. From boyhood he had been late at school, late at chnrch, late at meals, late everywhere. "I'll wager," said his brother John, laughing, "that you can't be first even to kiss your bride at the wedding!" "Oh, I'll not be late then," said Archie. Two hours Inter Archie stood with the pretty maiden by the flowers in the par lor of her pretty home. The guests were seated. The minister rose. Archie's failing and John's prediction were known to them all. Nevertheless, Archie knew he should not be late now, for his dear old mother had made all the guests promise not to precede him in kissing the bride. The solemn vows were said softly and the fervent prayer wa spoken slowly, while a robin could be heard singing on the lawn. "Amen," said the minister. Archie bowed to kiss the bride, but he paused for an instant; he smiled, he blushed. A sunbeam stealing through a rift in tho heavy curtains was trem bling gently on the bride's lips. "I've won tne bet!" cried John. The guests laughed and the preacher, aara " There is a Salve for everv wound " We refer to DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve: cures burns, hruisp. nits, indo lent sores, as a local application in the nostrils it curescatarrh, and alwayscures piles.
