OUR COUNTRY : First. Last and Forever,
Threats are mnde to forma now

no reason why evory Democrat in tho
county should not bo supplied with
one.

faot that the Herald is supplying

more, it is always lit to print.

Next Sunday the christian world

The naming of Mayor Ashbridge's
cabinet, just announced, does not
please the Philadelphia politicians.
The new Chief Executive is evidently
determined to be the Mayor both in
name and deed.

It is now reported that the Demo
cratic members of the legislature will
re-convene their caucus early next
week, and following the example of
the "insurgents," will cast their votes
for candidates other than George A.
Jenks. The object of the proposed
change is to forestall the charge that
the Democrats could have had a man
elected had they presented any other
candidate than Mr. Jenks. Among
the candidates likely to be voted for

It does not follow that because
many of the combinations, based on
legitimate capitalization, have bene
fited both themselves and the public,
no evil lurks in the system. On the
contrary, the best business men of
the country are fully of the
opinion that great danger may lie in
them, and that if something is not
done to stop the mania for such or
ganizations the whole country may
be plunged into financial suffering.
Trusts with fictitious capital to an
enormous amount are dally coming
into existence. They are not legiti
mate business enterprises.
Big shipments of coal continue to
be made from the port of Philadel
phia, to Mexico and the West Indies
and Cuba. The British steamer
Hamilton, with 3,100 tons, valued at
$6,200, for Vera Cruz, has cleared, as
also have the bark Vidette, with 030
tons, valued at $1,00, and the
schooner Pepe Ramirez for Guan
tanomo, with 030 tons, worth $1,306.
This coal is all of the bituminous
kind. Another steamer will leave
shonly with coal for Barcelona. This
will be the first coal shipment to
leave these shore for the land of the
Dons and marks the beginning of la
new industry. Unfortunately, how
ever, this region does not furnish the
fuel.
The position taken by Gov. Stone,
as expressed in his letter to J. B. Her
shey, of MoKeesport, that "we must
be just before we are charitable," is
the only safe one for either an in
dividual or the state to take. Gov.
Stone is. constrained to call attention
to tills principle and to insist on its
being followed because of the fact
that the expenditures of the state are
greatly in excess of the revenues. No
wan in the state realizes or values
more the necessity of keeping up the
standard of learning in our Common
wealth to the highest point. But a
heavy debt of' over three million
dollars is resting upon the state, and
as Governor he feels it inoumbent
upon him to huve that debt wiped
out if possible during his administra

New York, March 31. Dr. Itaffel, cx-

responsibility for a good deal of the

the eitv this week on his way to Berlin.
A reporter saw him just before he sailed

the fort thnt he had resigned because ot

tice Ohainherx had hopelessly disgraced
himself by his decision that Malletoa

Even the British residents, according

a fool. lie added that Osborne, the
American consul, was unfit for lila du
ties. Matanfa'x party was in the mn
jority, and the powers must submit to
the will of the natives and declare him
king. The plan of apportioning the is!
amis among the three powers Dr. Itaffel
thought Impracticable, because the cost
of governing its share would be greater
to each of the power than anything that
could be gotten out of it, and the customs

What Shall We Do.
A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep
tive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may he
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back,
rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to
urinale often with a burning sensation, the
flow of urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the abdomen low down between the
navel and the water passage, increamg de
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
passing, small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stare is Bright's Disease,
There is comfort in knowing that Dr.
Kilmer, the groat kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvelous cure of the most distressing
cases and known as Dr. Kilmer's Swamp

great discovery, Swamp-Root, a sample bottle

manded an advance of 10 per cent In
their wages. The several firms notified
their employes that if all were not at

Remedy Equal to this
Obstinate Disease.
ONLY ONE GORE
FOR SCROFULA.
is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Sorofulo, because it
goes down to the seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every
trace of tho taint.
The serious consequences to which Scrofula, surctlv leads
should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital im
portance of wasting no timo upon treatment whioh can
not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong
trentment has been relied upon, complicated glandular
swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that
a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.
Mr. H. E. Thompson, of Milledgevllle, Ga., writes : "A
bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands ot my neck,
which had to bo lanoed and caused me much suffering. I
was treated for a long while, but the physicians were un
able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I
began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used,
but without effeot. Some one recommended S. 8. S. , and
I began to Improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles.
Continuing the remedy, I was soon oured nermanentlv.
and have never had a sign of the disease to return." Swift's Specific
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
is tho only remedy which can promptly reaoh and euro obstinate, deep-seated
blood diseases. By reiving upon it, and not experimenting with the various
so-called tonics, etc., all sufferers from blood troubles can be promptly cured,
instead of enduring years of suffering whioh gradually but surely undermines
the constitution. S, S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetablo. and never falls to
cure Borofula, Kczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Bolls,
Tetter, Plmnles, Sores, Ulcers, etc. Insist upon 8. S S. j nothing can tako its place.

There are dozens of remedies reoommended for
Scrofula, some of them no doubt being able to
afford temporary relief, but S. S. S. is absolutely
the only remedy which completely cures It.
Borofula is one of tho most obstinate, deep-seated
blood diseases, and is beyond the reach of tha
many so-called purifiers and tonics because some
thing more than a mora tonls is renuired. 8. S. R.
