OUR COUNTRY : First, Last and Forever.
SuMK men in the public eye should
be considered mote.".
TllK Republicans in Congress are
strninitip; every nerve to avoid an ex
tra session, and are punliing legisla-!
tion. 1
TllK influence of the Paulile railway
people has been strongly exerted
against the Nicaragua Canal bill.
These people realize that if that pro
ject is ever carried out, it means the
loss of a great deal of motley to them.
It is an unusual result, in the mani
pulation of the returns, that causes
both sides to rejoice. But that is the
situation in Shenandoah. The Citi
zens party is content with its large
gains, while our Democratic friends
console themselves with the thought
thnt it might have been worse.
SECRETARY Alger lias arranged
for a junket to Cuba and Porto Rico,
and the party will include a number
of Senators and Representatives. It
is estimated the cost will be $200,000.
Such things are condoned in high
places, but if township authorities at
tempt it on a smaller scale they are
immediately proseouted.
The President has no policy with
respect to the Philippines but to keep
order there. He could not have, as
he makes very plain, without exceed
ing his functions and trenching upon
the prerogatives of Congress. It is
for Congress to say what shall be
done for and with the islands, and it
will be the President's duty to carry
out that policy when announced.
Is almost every section of the
country, in various brandies of trade,
it is pleasant to note the fact that
employers are voluntarily announc
ing an advance iu wages. This is an
indication that we have entered upon
a year of business activity, the
calamity howlers to the contrary not
withstanding. Yesterday the Read
ing Iron Company announced that
on March 1st their several thousand
employes will receive a material, ad
vance in wages. On the same date
the employes of the American
Steel and Wire Company throughout
the United States will receive about
$1,000,000 more in wages, an increase
of 10 per cent. The employes of that
company at Worcester, Mass., alone
will receive $125,000 more this year
than formerly. And yet, in the face of
these facts, the free silverites and
calamity howlers will tell us that the
country is going to the dogs.
COL. BOYDKN, a member of the 400
of Brooklyn, N. Y., had been a wid
ower for several years, but on Friday
night last he came to the conclusion
that he wanted to marry again and
concluded also that he could not wait
until the next day. His prospective
bride being, like Barkis, quite willing,
they roused a parson from his
slumbers at 1 o'clock a. m. and were
married in due form. The Colonel's
wedding was, therefore, a little out
of the usual run of such events. Its
results, too, are a little unusual, as
tlie Colonel's bride is tlie sister of his
son-in-law, so that the gallant old
veteran of the civil war becomes tlie
brother-in-law of his son-in-law and
the uncle of hig grandchildren, while
his wife becomes the stepmother of
her brother and the grandmother of
her nephews and niee-es, and, in tlie
usual course of events, it is possible
these complicated relationships will
become still more badly mixed up.
As THE result ot some years' mismanagement
of Us finances the County of Schuylkill finds
Itself inlbt to the eitent of one hundred and
seventy-eight tuonsand dollars. Some urovreis
toward a correction of the abuses which re
sulted In that debt has recently been n-ade, and
the Tax-Payers' Association, which has the
d alter lr hand, announces that two more years
of economical method will enable the authori
ties to par it off entirely. I nti I that result has
been attained the Association will relax none of
its efforts to force such economy and. cut It la
com osed of energetic ana determined men, it
Is likely to see its expectation realised. Where
the wroni melhods nrevall nobody except a few
officials profits to any extent a conclusive rea
son whv the bodv of the , eonle should loin
hands with those who would change the man
ner of conducting tbe public pusiiicim.
The above is from the Philadelphia
Inquirer, which has on several occas
Jons displayed commendable interest
in matters pertinent to good govern
ment in thiB county. "While we agree
with our contemporary in its praise
of the good work of thp Taxpayers'
Association, yet we must not over
look the fact that much credit is due

44 To Do III Costs More

It is to the Body what the

the Body thrives; if the Blood
is weak or impoverished,
then every pulse-Beat carries
weakness instead of strength.
Why make the cost of living more
than it need be? Purify your blood

THE .tlOllUUN WAY
Commends itself to tho woli-informed, to
do pleasantly and effectually what was
formerly douo iu tho crudest manner and
disagreeably as well. To cleanse the Bysteru
and break up colds, headaches, and fevers
without unpleasant after effects, use the
delightful liquid laxative remedy, Syrup of

their greatest efforts. Washington was
said to be "first in war, first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen." It
is a great thing to be first. Nothiug is oi
more vnlueto mankind and brings great
er happiness than a good remedy. Many
things will relieve but tbe one that will
cure is best. Brazilian Balm is such a reni'
edy. Tens of thousands have found thai
it is the only thing that would cure Ca
tarrh and Asthma. I'orlSyrs. ithasnev
er failed in a single case to cure Asthma,
and Its record has been as wonderful in
Catarrh. Cases that had, to all appearan
ces, mil into Consumption, or where the
nostrils were entirely stopped upor where
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
and countless Asthma sufferers in this
country, all of whom can be cured with
Brazilian Balm, A f 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,

and strength builder known to science.

Crippled by
Rheumatism.
Those who hnvo Rheumatism find
themselves growing steadily worse all
the while. One reason of this is that
the remodles prescribed by the doctors
contain mercury and potash, which ul
timately intensify tho disease by caus
ing tho Joints to swell and stiffen,
producing a severe aching of the bones.

which seemed almost incurable,

Everybody knows that Rheumatism
is a diseased state ot the blood, and
only a blood remedy is the only proper
treatment, but a remedy containing
