8 THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. WASHINGTON. ran our Hcirular Correspondent. Washington, July aa, 1895. When an individual attempts to break down another individual's credit by misrepresenting his business affairs the libeled individual can appeal to the courts and by proving the libel have the libeler punished. But the United States government has no such redress. When an apparently concerted attempt to injure the credit o the government and bring on another financial panic, such as is now being made by those republican news papers which are printing sensational, and in many instances entirely false, accounts of the government's financial affairs, the government can only ap peal to the common sense and fairness of the people. There is nothing either alarming or unexpected in the present condition of the government's finances. As was expected the expenditures during the first half of July were large ly in excess of the receipts. The rea son is obvious. Of the $29,000,000 which have been paid out this month $11,000,000 has gone to pay pensions, about $7,000,000 to pay interest on bonds, including those of the Pacific railroads, and more than $6,000,000 has been paid out under the appropri ations made by the last Congress, which became available on the first of July. Some republican papers, in their anxiety to bring on another financial panic, or at least stop the revival of business now sweeping over the country, have gone so far as to say that the revenues of the govern ment were falling off. Partisanship is no excuse for such a willful mis statement as that. On the contrary, the revenues are increasing, those for the first half of July being much larger than the receipts for the same period last year. The U. S. Treasury is all right, and likely to remain so as long as it is in charge of democrats. Secretary Smith has gone to Georgia to make some financial speeches, in which he will tell his hearers why he lost faith in the efficacy of the free coinage of silver and be came au advocate of sound money He has accepted invitations to deliver three speeches, but, as his mail was for some days before his departure from Washington filled with invita tions to deliver speeches in other parts of the State, it is probable that he will make more than that while he is about it. Secretary Lamont very seldom con sents to being interviewed for publica tion he is an old newspaper man, which accounts for his shunning no toriety but he made an exception in order to deny the silly story about his western trip having been in the inter est of a third term for President Cleveland. He said : I was not hunting ghosts, though I am told some were about. My trip was purely a business one, and I had neither in clination nor opportunity to meddle in politics. About the only people I saw and talked with were the military and railroad people. The railroad men whom I met told me that the outlook was very favorable for great prosperity. They are about the only ones I had an opportunity to talk with on the subject, and I presume that they are about the best judges." By the way, speaking of this third term business, which some republican editors seem disposed to make a standing nightmare out of, there is nothing in it. While an occasional democrat of prominence has express ed a willingness to support President Cleveland for a third term, no person al friend of his has ever encouraged such an idea, and it can be stated on excellent authority that he has never made a suggestion to any member of his cabinet that could be construed, even in the most indirect manner, to mean that he desired another nomina tion. A gentleman who is known to enjoy the President's confidence said on this subject : " It is too silly to be seriously discussed. I am satisfi ed that Mr. Cleveland would long ay,o have said that he would under no circumstances accept another nomina tion had he not thought it to be en tirely unnecessary to do so. You may depend upon it that he will stop it quick enough should it at any time between this and the holding of the democratic National Convention be come evident that a serious attempt was being made to nominate him again. He is proud, as he has a right to be, of the three nominations given him by the democratic party, but if he has any ambition for a fourth nomination his closest associates have never discovered the slightest evi dence of it. You cannot find a single man whose relations with him are close who believes that he would allow his name to go before another national convention.'' A GOOD SUGGESTION. Rochester, N. Y.

SIGNED A DEFEATED BILL. GOVERNOR HASTINGS APPROVES AN ACT WHICH FAILED IN THE HOUSE. The discovery has been made that Governor Hastings has approved a bill which was defeated bv the House of Representatives in the closing hours of the late Legislature. It is the act creating a State Game Commission and providing for the appointment of game protectors to enforce the game laws. The bill was introduced by Representative Kunkel, at the instance of the State Sportsmen's Association and carried with it an appropriation of $20,000 to pay the salaries and ex penses of the commission. The measure was defeated on final passage in the House through the efforts of the rural members, who ob jected to it because of the appropria tion. Mr. Kunkel had the bill recon sidered and amended by striking out the appropriation clause. This was satisfactory to its opponents and the bill passed and was messaged to the Senate for concurrence. The Senators inserted a clause in the bill appropria ting $1,500 a year for the expense of the commission. It went to a con ference committee and was agreed to and sent back to the House for con currence. The House rejected the report of the committee and the bill fell. The records of the State Depart ment show that Governor Hastings signed the bill on June 25, as it origi nally passed the ilouse. The de feated bill was messaged to the Gov ernor in the closing hours of the ses sion properly signed by the presiding officers and clerks of both houses. The Governor has not yet appointed the commission and it is likely he will decline to make the appointment under the circumstances. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and pre scribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hund red dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F.J.

Patience is an excellent virtue, and one of those most difficult to acquire. Woman possesses it in a far greater degree than man, and this has been one of her compensations for long ages of servitude. It was necessary to her to endure or c'ie, and she has lea'rnt to endure. Yet in the face of all the difficulties and trials which beset us through life, the wrongs and injuiies, the diseases and disappointments which are incidental to all, patience is essential to every one, irrespective of sex. We admire courage always, but seldom admire passive fortitude. But courage may be a mere animal instinct, and usually Is, whereas patience is a high intellectual quality, and is the fruit of reason or religion. Chaucer wrote in his " Persones Tale," "The Philosophere sayth that patience is the virtue that suffereth debonairly all the outrages of adversitee, and every wicked word." What armour, then, can be so effectual against the disasters of Fate as this God like gift of enduring calmly ? The fretful, fussy individual is con temptible to others and a misery to himself. Whenever a woman is desti tute of this most womanly quality of quiet endurance, nature or education has robbed her of a distinguishing virtue of her sex, and she becomes one of those sour and querulous creatures that are able to drive any man from house and home unless he has the patience of Job. Its cultiva tion, therefore, is of primary im portance, and should begin at the earnest stage ot ute. Uut when we see how young infants are permitted by the indulgence of foolish mothers to defy them and their nurses, to struggle and scream and kick in parox ysms of passion whenever they are thwarted, and habitually disobey as they become older, we need not wonder that with such a training they should grow up without self control and be subject to criminal outbursts. So long as parents neglect their duties to their offspring, so long will wretch edness and vice roll on, and many a man whose evil passions control him would be tempted, if he knew all, to curse the irrational fondness of the mother who bore him, The origin of our word denotes its meaning; " Patiens," suffering, or learning, that is to say, calmly. We have lost the old English verb " to patient," which was in vogue down to Shakespeare's time. " Patient your self, Madam," says Titus Andronicus. Ours is a sterling, solid word, which has sustained its signification for ages, and has seen good service in the life of humanity. The martyrs for phi losophy and religion, to say nothinj; of others, gave notable examples of its meaning when they cheerfully endured all the agonies that tyrannous intolerance could inflict upon them. " I he virtue of the best Pagans, says Lecky in " History of European Morals," " was perhaps of as hich an order as that of the best Christians." And the patience of Pagan philoso phers under persecution was no way inferior to that of the followers of the Cross. Both have proved thousands of times over how sublimely men and women can suffer and die when sus tained by this noblest of virtues. " Pound the body of Anaxarchus for thou dost not pound his soul," was said to the tyrant of Cyprus by the philosopher when brayed alive in a stone mortar with iron hammers to satisfy a mean revenge. " Follow God," was one of the most frequently repeated of Platonic maxims. "A God (what God I know not) dwells in every good man," said Epictetus. And .Marcus Aurelius adds, " Offer to the God that is in thee a manly being, a citizen, a soldier at his post, ready to depart from life as soon as the trumpet sounds." Another teaching of the Stoics was " the duty of the most abso lute and unquestioning submission to the decrees of Providence." " To weep, to groan, is to rebel," said Seneca. " To fear, to grieve, to be angry, is to be a deserter," said Au relius. " Remember," wrote Epicteus, himself a cripple, " that you are but an actor, acting whatever part the Master has ordained. If he wishes you to represent a poor man, do so heartily ; if a cripple, or a magistrate, or a private man, in each case act your part with honour. . . God does not keep a good man in prosperity. He tries, He strengthens him, He prepares him for Himself." When Anaxagoras, the preceptor of Socrates, Pericles, Euripides, and many other famous pupils, was condemned to death because of scientific research, he ridiculed the sentence, and said it had long been pronounced upon him by Nature. He refused to have his corpse borne to his country, for said he, " the road that leads to the other side of the grave is as long from one place as the other." Nor were these mere precept3, for he, like numbers of the Stoics and Epicureans, had re nounced wealth and honours for practical philosophy. Epicurus him self taught that " all good and all evil consist in feeling, and what is death but the privation of feeling ?" And Cicero declared that " all virtue is in action." "The proper study of a wise man," said a great modern phi losopher, " is not how to die, but how to live. . , . There is no subject on which the sage will think less than death." When Antoninus Tins was flying, and the tribune asked him for the password of the night, the Em peror replied, " Acquanimitas 1" (pa tience I) Action, feeling, and resignation, form the three components of the worthiest life, but the crown of all is patience : to know, how to endure and how to wait ; to render the mind superior to all accidents of time or place. The imagination of the most imaginative race never conceived any thing grander than the lonely Titan chained to Mount Caucasus with an eagle from year to year ever gnawing his vital organs. Beaten by tempests and chilled by the eternal snows, he lifted his eyes and voice in calm defi ance of his unjust persecutor, and patiently awaited the hour of his deliverance. He stands to-day, in the records of Pagan genius, as a giant type of mortal endurance. But if we turn our eyes to Calvary, in the reign of Tiberius, we perceive a still grander and more human example. He who had renounced all things from His love of humanity, whose whole life had been spent in innocence and beneficence and the highest exercise of patience, condemned for blasphemy by the impure lips of those He wished to save, hangs bleeding on the cross. But, in that hour of supreme torture, His patience rises above His pain. "Father I" He cried, "forgive them, for they know not what they do." For more than a hundred years the Shakers have been studying the re medial properties of p'ants. They have made many discoveries, but their greatest achievement was made last year. It is a cordial that contains already digested food and is a digester of food. It is effective in removing distress after eating, and creates an appetite for more food so that eating becomes a pleasure. Tale, thin peo ple become plump and healthy under its use It arrests the wasting of con sumption. There never has been such a step forward in the cure of indigestion as this Shaker Cordial.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE IlRITAN NIA AND HER SISTERS. Up-to date vacht designers aim at turning out craft capable of beating all rivals in all sorts of weather and at every point of sailing. The boat that can do this has yet to be launched ; among yacnts now atloat the Britannia comes nearest to the ideal, unless Lord Dunraven's bie new cutter turns out her superior. But just as breed ers of race-horses very rarely hit the happy cross which combines first-class staying power, so marine architects have to put up with disappointment after disappointment before they have the luck to design a Britannia. Thus, in the case of the Ailsa. neither time nor money was spared to produce a smarter cratt than the Prince of Wales' beautv. but so far the latter has handsomely beaten her younger nvai. jonaon trravftic. The New York World has nuMish. ed the names of manufacturers in various parts of the country who by voluntarily increasing the wages of their employes have enabled 400,000 working men and mechanics to fill their dinner pails abundantlv under the operations of the Wilson tariff. Ihe McMnley papers are very quiet upon this subiect. but their retirense does not keep back the tide of pros perity, which will keep rushing along, as it has been gradually doing for the past six months. The tide has turned in the direction of business activity and will go on until national pros perity is entirely restored. Troubles.
