An advertisement In a newspaper finds nocess to tho homes of the people. It is not thrown Into the waste paper basket or the fire as soon as its character is known, as a ma jority of handbills and advertising pamphlets are. -It is not ignored or regarded with aversion or contempt, as posters generally are. It comes to readers with tho authority behind it of tho journal in which it appears, and it confronts many of them when they have the leisuro to study its terms. Thk bankers of Philadelphia ex press themselves as emphatically op posed to the suggested plan of having special examiuers appointed in the banking districts to supplement the work of the regular examiners. Their objections are based on the uselessness of having a man un familiar with a bank's business and the character of the commercial paper it handles attempt to investigate its niTuirs ; and also on the injustice it would work to all Business men hav ing relations with the bank by un necessarily exposing their accounts and paper to the scrutiny of out siders. The Scramble For Office. Senator Morgan, of Alabuma, in an interview with a newspaper corre spondent a few days ago, emphasized very strongly the position of the Democratic leaders and candidates for office in this county that is, their readiness to adopt any subterfuge of a platform, that may bring them vic tory. These men are firm advocates of the 10 to 1 idea, but they realize the hopelessness of winning the buttle in tills county this or any other year with the financial question the lead ing issue. Like good Democratic politicians and office seekers, they are willing to sacrifice their principles and man hood and hide from sight the poor old battered plank which was so badly ripped up in 1890, and to bury their principles for the sake of the ' loaves and llslies ' tliat are appar ently in sight. These men hold views so similar to that of Senator Morgan, it might prove interesting to repeat that portion of his interview which explains his idea, as well as that of the local statesmen now controlling the Schuylkill Democracy, as to how future campaigns should be con ducted from their standpoint : "In mv opinion, we should nomin ate a inau who wonld be willing to sav to his party something like tins 'When mvnartv is able, in Congress, to pass a free coinage bill, 1 will not veto it. but will permit it to become a law. wnatever my opinions may ue, I believe the combined wisdom of the men of my own party in Congress is better than mine. It might be pos sible that I suouiu not, personally, think a free coinage law tlie proper thing to enact, but if your Kepresen tatives in Congress believe otherwise. if it is your judgment thatsuch a law win oo lor tne neat interests oi tuo country, such a law, when enacted by you, will stand.1 A man who will make suoh an announcement and live up to it could easily, I am sure, be elected by the Democrats to tho Presidential office." The gentlemen who now control the Democratic organization in this county and who dictate the nomina tions, may think the voters of that party are short of memory, but they will find that this bold attempt to de ceive them will only make the defeat of the party more crushing in 'Novem ber. Far better for them to assume the boldness of Bryan, their leader, and make an honest fight along the lines of their convictions, than at tempt to seoure the offices by the skulking methods of the Indian. In the light of recent eyents, the Schuylkill county Democrat seeking olllee is not supposed to have convlc- tions, nor an opinion that he dare express publioly.

Catarrh is ono of the most obstinate diseases, and hence tho most difficult to get rid of. There Is but one way to euro It. The disease is in the blood, and all the sprays, washes and Inhaling mixtures In tho world can havo no permanent effect whatever upon It. Swift's Spo clilo cures Catarrh permanently, for it Is the only remedy which can reach the disease and force it from the blood. Mr. B. V.

To continue tho wrong treatment for Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift's Spooifle is a real blood remedy, and nurna obstinate, deen-seated alseaseB, which other remedies have no effect whatever upon.

Dr. Jackson points to the startling fact that there are now 20 million Catarrh victims in this country and the numher rapidly increasing. It has already become the National Disease. Arc we to become a nation of Catarrhites? It looks like It. The Aboriginal Indiana are said not to have known the disease. That proves it is not caused by our climate and must have been imported. Its growth waa slow but persistent. Forty years ago mere were less man tu.uuu casts in the U. S., to-day there are 20 million. Soon there will be SO million. Where is it to cud? Shall we not awake till it haa fastened its fangs an every man, woman and child in the laud? How shall we prevent it unless we take immed iate aud vleorous stens to stamn outthenlacrue? This putrid disease knows no sex, no cfass, no station. It is everywhere. A germ (microbe) disease It spreads by contagion. The carlon breath and expectoration of the poor victim are loaded with these microbes. Others breath them In, they find lodgement nnd never release their hold till the victim Ilea down in death, unless every microbe is killed. Hut can they be killed? Yea, but not by any "blood medicine." No Ca tarrh cerm was ever found In the blood. The trouble is local and must be treated locally. A balsam has been discovered that la sure death .to the Catarrh microbe, making a radical ana permanent cure, it is iiruziuan uaim. 11 nas cured tens of thousands in the past IS years. It also cures all the troubles caufed bv Catarrh. nsSore Throat, Old Coughs, Bronchitis, Asthma and I.uiip; troubles. The swallowing of the Catarrh pus makes the Stomach raw and ulcer ated.
