Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications the? cannot
reach the diseased portion of theeur.
There is ouly one way to euro deaf
ness, uud that iu 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 lioar
ing, and when it ib entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless
the intlamuiation 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 cannot bu cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir

IS IT A PARTY
OF DESTRUCTION?
Wanamaker Haa So Declared tha Re
publican Party to Be, 8aya Con
gressman Burk.
Congressman Henry Burk, who is a
well Known manufacturer and active
Republican, created something- of a
sensation a few nights ago at a Re
publican meeting In Philadelphia, by a
spuoch. in which, among other things,
he said:
"You have hoard of the connection
of John Wanamaker with this io
called Union party, and you have
seen hnw thn Wanamaker paper has
villlfied, scolded and abused the mayor
of this city. Two ynars ago I was In
vited to attend a moetlng of the Young
Republican Club, the object of which
was to form an association to secure
the Republican national convention
for this city. Ex-Mayor Stuart asked
nic to preside at the meeting, and I
was elected chairman of a Business
Men's Republican Convention Associa
tlon. It was decided to raise (100,000
for a convention fund, and I started
out to arrange for raising the money.
Now, who do you suppose were the
first two mea I called on? They ware
Mayor Ashbrldge and John Wana
maker. I first called on Mayor Ash
brldge, to whom I Introduced myself,
and after stating my errand he cor
dially Indorsed the. matter and said:
'AH right, Mr. Burk. I am at your
service. I'll do anything you want
me to do In the matter. Mr. Scott has
told you how he went te Washing
ton and worked with Usa committee
to successfully land the convention."
"I then called on John Wanamaker.
I explained to him the obeet at tha as
sociation, told htm how the business
men were becoming laterested la the
matter of bringing tha national Re
publican convention to loyal Philadel
phia. To my utter surprise, Mr. Wana
maker jumped out of hia chair, raised
his hands and excitedly said: 'Bark,
the Republican party Is the party of
destruction, and I'll have nothing to
do with It.' Out of consideration for
htm, I have never before mentioned
thia publicly."
Continuing, Mr. Burk said: "Is the
party of William McKlnley the party
of destruction? John Wanamaker
meant the national Republican party
the party of William McKlnley.
"I believe that John Wanamaker be
lieves to-day that the Republican par
ty 1b the party of destruction. But
you do not, and I do not. We believe
that the mission of the Republic n
party is to maintain the law and
wipe out the party of anarchy and all
its sympathisers and supporters."

Signature of
Proposed Amendment to the Constitu
tion Would Mean An Expenditure
ef Over a Million and a Half of
Dollars.
At the coming election citizens of
Pennsylvania will be called upon to
vote "yes" or "no" upon two proposed
amendments to the constitution. One
of these provides for personal regis
tration of voters In certain thickly
settled communities and is app.uently
not being approved by the leaders of
one of the political parties. Organi
sation men have no reasou to oppose
such an innovation. The Independent
or indifferent voter is usually the' meet
difficult to get to the polls. Now, If
he has to go twice for earh election,
once when he is to lie registered and
again to vote be will be apt to be of
less annoyance to the party ni.iu. Re
publican or Democrat, au the case
may be.
AN UNPOPULAR SCHEME.
The other proposed amendnieu! to
permit of the Introduction of voting
machines in this state,
Little attention has been paid by the
people to this matter It would appear,
but It Is known that a combination
of politicians and capitalists a i quiet
ly working a game to have t h i : :r ail
ment adopted. They have vibiens of
a great prospective financial gains
through the Introduction of tliis in
novation. Samples of these machine; were
shown at Harriaburg during the last
session of the legislature, when the
promoters of the scheme had a strong
lobby on "the Mill." working In their
Interest among the members of both
houses.
It was then estimated that the cost
of each machine would be about $235,
and that as there are about 7.000 vot
ing precincts in Pennsylvania the total
cost for the mere Introduction of the
machines would be over a million and
a half dollars. This would not bo
counting the cost of repairs uud main
tenance and storage between elections.
Tho machines are very Intricate pieces
of mechanism and would require first
class machinists to keep them In order.
Should one of them get out of order
on election day the whole scheme of
election In that precinct would fail.
A BIO ORAB FOR POLITICIANS.
Another argument against the use of
voting machines Is that It Is conceded
that no machine can make men honest
who are otherwise disposed.
The arrangement of the machine for
which this fight is being made requires
the voter to touch buttons which record
the names of the candidates for whom
the citizen desires to vote. It Is point
ed out that there would be nothing to
prevent dishonest men to permit Im
personation of voters In this "push the
button" scheme any more than there
is to allow men to Impersonate othera
in the casting of the ballots under the
present system.
It Is quite probable that the penpla
will carefully weigh the arguments pro
and con In this matter of the Intro
duction of the machines before they
ultimately decide to advocate the ex
penditure of a million and a half dol
lars upon an experimental proposition.
Republican, du not want their party
to bo saddled with tho responsibility
of expending over a million and a half
dollars to introduce a machine in
which a combination of selfish men are
so deeply and personally interested,
and which would not give satisfaction
to the people.
