Tub Philadelphia Inquirer yester
day Issued a special souvenir edition
commemorating the tenth anniver
sary of the preseut management. It
was a creditable edition and in line
with the progressive policy that hat,
characterized the paper during the
past ten years. The Inquirer ranks
with the leading journals of the
country.
The wages of the 2,500 employes of
the Maryland Steel Company has
been advanced 10 per cent.; the em
ployes of the iron mills at Consho
hocken, Lebanon and Harrisburg, af
fecting thousands of employes, is in
creased a like sum, while K5.000 men
in Pittsburg received an advance of 8
per oent. And yet they tell us busi
ness has not improved !
The projectors of the new anthra
cite road, which was to haye been
run fromScrantontoNew York, have
given up the enterprise and conse
quently the Anthracite Business
Men's Association, organized for the
purpose of compelling the coal carry
ing roads to lower their tonnage
rates, has also gone up. A meeting
of the Association was to have been
held in Hazleton, but it has been
abandoned and no more will be heard
of the organization.
A number of our contemporaries
are misleading their readers in the
question of court costs, in payment of
"foreign" Judges who assist in courts
other than their own. The expense
is not borne by the individual tax
payers to the extent these criticisms
would imply. But a very sinuli por
tion of the tuxes paid goes to the
state treasury, from which the Judges
draw their salary for extra compensa
tion. Two-thirds of the state taxes
is paid by corporations, one-half of
me remaining one-third is derived
from the liquor traffic. leavinn- IPS
than one-sixth to be paid by the in-
uivmual taxpayers.
According to the Washington
Star, the action of the Democratic
caucus reveals both the weakness and
the absurdity of the attempt to make
a partisan rather than a patriotic
question out of American duty in the
Philippines. The caucus was called
to define the attitude of the minority
members of the House toward that
matter. The result is a deliverance
as vague, as elastic, as adjustable as
ever was framed. It may mean any
thing or nothing, as partisan occa
sion may demand. American evacu
ation in thirty days, or American oc
cupation for a hundred years, could
be defended under it.
Only One Senator.
The present Congress will expire to
morrow and if there should be an ex
tra session of Congress, which fortu
nately is not likely, the probabilities
are that Pennsylvania will have but
one representative in the Senate.
This would be a serious drawback to
the state.
The interests of our state are so
many and so varied that she should
be at all times fully represented in
the upper branch of the national
Legislature. Pennsylvania, too, has
been among the most loyal to Presi
dent McKinley, and with one repre
sentative she will be giving his ad
ministration only half the support
tihe should give him.
The deadlock at Harrisburg still
continues, and there is apparently no
indication that it will be broken, cer
tainly not before the expiration of
the term of Senator Quay. This con
dition of affairs has a woeful effect on
legislation affeoting the Interests of
the state. The Legislature has been
jn session nearly two months, and
has practically done nothing in the
way of legislation.
It they are unable to arrive at a
choice for Senator, they should at
least get down to the business for
which they have been elected. There
are matters requiring serious con
sideration, and they ghould be taken
up and disposed of.

Regardless Of Age.
The kidneys are responsible for more sick
ness, suffering, and deaths than any other
organs of the body.
A majority of the ills afflicting people to
day is traceable to kidney trouble. It prevades
all classes of society, in all climates, regard
less of age, sex or condition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble arc unmis
takable, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, sleep
lessness, pain or dull ache in the back, a
desire to urinate often day or night, profuse or
scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in. urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing poisoned
and germ-filled blood. Sometimes the heart
acts badly, and tube casts (wasting of the
kidneys) are found in the urine, which if
neglected will result in Blight's Disease, the
most dangerous form of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. It has a world wide
reputation for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases.
No one need be long without it as it is so
easy to get nt anv drug store at fifty cents or
one dollar. You can have a sample bottle of
this wonderful discovery, Swamp-Root, and a
book telling all about it, both sent to you
absolutely free by mail. Send your address to
Dr. Kilmer & Co., liinghamton, N.-Y., nnd

Home, Mnrch 3. The latest news from
the Vatican is that the pope's tempern
ture nt midnight had fallen several
points. It appears that his disinclination
to observe tho recommendations of his
phyalclnns forms an obstnelo in the wny
nf prompt recovery. He hns full con
fidence in his own strength, nnd does
not readily acquiesce In their advice not
to move. During the afternoon ho in
sisted upon leaving his bed without as
sistance, nnd also rend scvernl lole
grnnis. The Hse in his temperature,
which had given some iinxlety, was prob
ably caused in part in this wny.
The pope said during the day:
"It is a miracle of God that I nm still

a terrible crisis nt the present moment."

be affected. The pope's nephew also
visited him in the course of the after

THE BEEP INVESTIGATORS.
A Prlvnto'H Sonsnttonnl Story Contra

Washington, March 3. There were
several Interesting developments in the
beef court of Inquiry yesterday. It
wns n Held day for the volunteer arm
of the service, the wuitlng room being
filled nil dny wltff members of the various
volunteer regiments which served in
Cub.i and Porto Illco. The first of these,
Clarence Walters, of the First Volun
teer engineers, told a sensational story
of hardship nnd inhumanity suffered dur
ing his service, describing the canned
roust beef in hnrsher terms thnu have
ever before been applied to that much
discussed article. Later in the day Lieu
tenant Sewell, U. S. A., who was mftjor
of the volunteer battalion in which Wal
ters served, contradicted his story com
pletely, saying there was no canned
roast beef aboard the transport which
took the command to Porto Hico. Fur
ther than that, he said Walters had
come to him after landing and nsked
to be discharged so as to accept a po
sition as newspaper correspondent, nnd
on being questioned said that ho had
been well treated while in the service and
had no complaint to make.
An important development wns the de
nial of the story by one Jntiics Fnrnan
and nlso attributed to Dr. Maxwell Chris

beef injected with chemicals in nn Oma

it is the only remedy which can reach
the disease.
Barofula appeared on th head of ray little
grandohlld when only IS months old. Shortly
after breaking out It spread rapidly all over
her body. The scabs on the sores would peel
off on the slightest touob, and the odor that

the eye, and we feared she
would lose her sight. Em

It's hat d for a man to do his work well if
he has a bad back Hard for him to work
at all -
But the work must be done bread must be
earned, and so thousands of workers plod
along, accepting the backache as a matter
of course, and only realizing the serious
ness of it when it gets so bad that they
can't drag themselves about any longer
Yet it's all unnecessary
You know what
that's all Just
of the failure of the kidneys to do their
duty And the way to get rid of it is to set the kid
neys right. Help the kidneys to do their duty and
there'll be.no trouble with bad backs

Doing it right here in Shenandoah. People you
know say so. Read the following from a citizen :
Mr. Thomas Harkin, of 629 West Coal street, breaker
boss in the West Shenandoah colliery, says : "I have been
troubled with my kidneys more than in any other way, though
I have also suffered a great deal

Colorado's Flerco Snow Storm.
Iicadville, Colo., March 3. The snow
storm which began here at midnight Sun
day shows no signs of abatement. Tlie
railroads are completely tied up west
of this city and are running but few
trains east. The outlook' here is most
discouraging. There has been a loss to
this community for a month pust of over
$3,000 a day in wages, in addition to
heavy losses of mine owners through
failure to make shipments nnd carry on
development work. The storm in the
region embracing Breckinridge, Dillon.

Wheeler Is worse today than for a week
past.

fered to the army re-organization hill,
and which became a part of that meas
ure, prohibiting officers or soldiers from
selling intoxicating drinks nt any post

first appeared. It prohibits nny other
person from selling such liquors in any
encampment or nny place useu for mill'
try purposes. This will exclude liquors
from all military reservations.
