JUR COUNTRY : r-irst. Last and Forever.
Now Is the tliui' mid tin IIkk.vli)
the jilucu to plant your Christinas ml.
THK bitttlesliip.i On-yon mid Iowa
are on their way to Manila, touiiforco
the authority of Unele Sum in 1111
emergency.
Tiik more that we view the politi
cal horizon, the more llrmly are we
convinced that Sub-Treasurer Finney
is a lucky man.
AxnnKw Cahnkuik hits advanced
the wages of his employes 10 per
eent. a fact that generally escapes
the notice of the chronic newspaper
growler.
Thk war of words between Editor
McClure, of the Philadelphia Times,
mid Judge Gordon is now 011. Judg
ing from the first engagement we
may expect a bloody conflict.
TllK privates have fought and won
the war with spuiii, and now the
generals and other high oillcials are
having a little war of their own in
the newspapers. Somebody should
ring the bell and drop the curtain.
The question that Is now bothering
the big politicians is whether or not
there will be fusion between the
Democratic! and Independent liepub
licttu members of the Legislature.
It remains an open question.
CoNTKObLKlt Sxtdkh and liiscorps
of assistants are busily engaged in
preparing Ills office for the reception
of his successor 011 January 2. The
latter will (ind everything in good
shape, and will experience no em
barrassments when he enters upon
his duties. There is no more faith
ful and elUcienixofilciul 011 the hill
than tlio present Controlier.
TlIKltK seems to bo a general feel
ing uniong Republican politicians,
tilnce the party met with temporary
reverses, for a display of the olive
branch among the I elligerent fac
tions. There is one way, probably,
that peace can be restored. And
that is by giving 1 i r 11 1 11 111 the Attorney
Generalship under Stone, Augiistuviis
Schrink the postmitstorship of Potts
villo, Senator Loscli consel at
Havana, Editor Zerbey political press
censor, Philip Yedinsky tho Austrian
mission, Charles A. Snyder Secretary
of the Commonwealth, and "Jack''
Vhitehouso as adviser iii chief. We
desire to add right here, before sub
mitting the above to tne critical eye
of ourcontemporaries, that this is no
Quay .scheme.
A plain Is now on foot in New York
city which looks to the finding of
work for the starving Cubans and re
lieving their wants in that way, In
stead of by the free distribution of
food. 1 1 is proposed to acquire lands
and to give work to those who are
suffering, at current rates of wages,
and the whole atrair is to be conducted
ns a combined charitable and business
enterprise. This is a move in the
right direction and one that should
receive encouragement, if we do not
desire to pauperize a large portion of
the Cuban population, which never
lias been too much inclined to work.
It demoralizes any people to become
ucoustomed to rely on gratuitous re
lief, and we will increase our dilllcul
ties if we encourage them to do so
for a moment longer than is abso
lutely necessary.
Pnosi'KIlITY Is already here, and
the man who does not note it, falls in
keeping fully informed. Oar manu
facturers are busy, bo are our rail
roads, and shipping. Men are em
ployed better than "for ten years past,
and at good wages. It will take some
time to pay their debts, and In the
meantime they can pay as they go.
Mercantile life must now look up,
and It has only to raise its head to
meet ever-incoming prosperity. Tho
business skies are bright. We can all
do our part in an humble way to help
tliingd along by bracing up and sing
Ing the anthem .of better duys at
hand, instead of doubting und croak
Im.'. as bo many often do. The
country never had a brighter future
looming up before it than at tins very
hour. This is the opportunity men
havebeeu waiting for. We believe

The Kidney Complexion.
Tlio pnle, gallon, sunken-checked, dls-
tre-weil-lobking people you so often meet are
nllllctcd with "Kidney Complexion."
Their kidneys aro turning to a parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They m.iy also luno-indigestion, or sutler
from slceplc-snoss, rheumatism, lieur.ilsl,
brain trouble, nervous exhaustion and some
times tlio heart acts badly.
The rnuse is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the suHerer fioni kidney disease
does not tlnd out what the trouble is until it
is almost too late, because- the first symptoms
are so like nilbl sickness that they do not
think they need a niedicino or a doctor until
they find tliem-ielves sick in bed.
Dr. Kilmer's Hwnmp-l'oot will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, puiify their diseased, kidney-
po'soucd blood, clear their complexion and
soon they will enjoy better health.
You can get the regular izcs at the drug
store, at fifty cents and ono dollar, or you
may first prove for yourself the wonderful
virtuosof this great discovery, Swamp-Hoot,
by bvuding your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,

HarrlsburR. Dec. 5.- Factory Inspec
tor James Campbell has transmitted to
Governor Hastings the nnnunl report
of the factory department for the tlscnl
year ended Oct. 30 lost. The Inspector
says the factory laws amended by the
last legislature have proved beneficial
and Justified their enactment. He rec
ommends that the department be em
powered to enforce the lire escape law
In respect to hotels, opera houses and
public balls, and that the "sweat shop"
taw be amended to give the depart
ment power to confiscate goods made
In unlawful nml unhealthy places, and
dispose of them In such a manner as
would best protect the public health.
Mr. Campbell thinks Some of the sick
ness In the army during the war with
Spain came from uniforms manufac
tured In unsanitary places containing
germs of disease. He says tho "bake
shop" law enacted by the last gen
eral assembly has been a blessing to
those who labor In bakeries and to the
public at large.
During the year 18,222 Inspections were
made. Of the 408,079 employes In mills,
manufactories, etc., aM.OOO were report
ed as native born, 15,033 us naturalized,
and -15.0SG as nlb-ns.
There were 1.7D4 accidents reported
this year. Seventy-three were fatal,
11 of which were due to carelessness
and one to Intemperance. Of these nc
cldents 327 were serious, 150 of which
were due to carelessness, while 1,301
were less serious, COO of which were
due to carelessness.

DR. WUHTirS OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDI
CINE. A Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Stomach Trouble!.
Dr. Wurth in commenting ou recent dis
coveries in medicine said : There Is nono
which is certain to be so valuablo and far
reaching in benefit as Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets, tho now stomach remedy ; I say far
reaching, because people littlo rcalizo how
important a sound stomach and vigorous
digestion is to every mau, woman and child.
Indigestion is tho starting point of eon-
sumption, heart dlscaso, Bright's disease,
diabetes, nerveus prostration, liver troubles;
why is this so 1 Simply because overy nerve,
muscle and tissue iu our bodies is created
and nourished from tho food we eat. If that
food is, by reason of a weak stomach, com
pelled to lio for hours, a sour, fermenting
mass of half digestod food, It poisons the
blood and uorvous system, crofts gas which
distends tlio stomach and bowels, causing
pressure ton tho heart, lungs and other
organs, and seriously impeding their action.
He says further, the point to direct atten
tion is not the nerves, nor heart, nor lungs,
nor kidneys, but tho stomach, the first cause
of all tho mischief.
Tho remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic, but a
remedy which will digest the food, increase
the flow of gastric juice, absorb tin gases,
and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will accom
plish exactly this result in any case of stom
ach trouble, becauxo these tablets aro com.
posed of tho digestive acids, aseptic pepsin.
Golden Seal and bismuth, pleasant to taste,
and not being a patent medicine, can be
used by anyone with perfect safety. I be
lieve Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure
any form of indigestion and stomach trouble
except cancer of stomach.
Full size packages of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets aro sold by druggists at 50 cents or
by mail from F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall,
Mich. A book on stomach diseases together
with thousands of testimonials will be sent
by addressing above or call on your druggist
for them.

n.nd to be "firr.t in war, first in peace nnd
first in the hvirts of hi9 country men. " It
is a great thing to be first. Nothi ig is of
morevaluotomankiud nnd bringj great
er happiness than a good remedy. Many
things will relieve but the one that will
rtfi9btt:t. Brazilian Halm is such arem
cdy. Tens of thousands have found that
it is the only thing that would cure Ca.
tarrh and Asthma. ForlSyr. ithasnev
er failed iu a single. case to cure Asthma,
and Its record has been as wonderful iu
Catarrh. Cases that had, to all appearan
ces, run into Consumption, or where the
nostnlswere entirely stopped uporwhere
the poisonous pus had eaten holes into
the throat an inch deep, or where the
stomach had become ulcerated and raw
from swallowing the germ-laden matter,
were all permanently cured. Such, a rec
ord, unknown to any other remedy, just
ly entitles the Brazilian Balm to the first
place iu the regard of the American peo
ple. There are 20,000,000 Catarrh victims
und countless Asthma sufferers in thistRl
c Jiintry, all of whom can be cured withjj
Brazil ian Balm. A $1.00 bottle of Brazil
ian Balm contains a month's treatment
for catarrh or asthma, and for 6 months
we will wrap with each $1.00 bottle a
month's treatment of Toxicola Tablets,
