AUGUST 15. 1800. ova OUR COUNTRY : First, Last and Forever, HAS tlio New York Journal deserted Bryan and his favorite doutua ? The Journal alone can answer. Oi r Democratic friends are hopeful, says an ex -linnse. This Is important. The Kejmblican county chairman should immediately seeU n conference. TllK Republican state leaders ap pear to be divided in their choice for state chairman. May we not suggest the gentleman from Auburn ? We have made the suggestion, and await the result. TllK North American's special cor respondent at Havana, says the senti ment of the Cubans has undergone a radical change in the last two months. The Islanders are now strong for annexation. Editoii Wilson, of the Pottsville Tribune, temporarily suspended, knows more about tho average Schuylkill politician now than ho did six months ago. They seldom are willing to pay the fiddler. Thk editors of the Scrantonian of Scranton, ought to be growing rich rapidly if It be true, as Horace Greeley once said, that "a libel suit in worth at least $10,000 to a newspaper." The Scrantonian editors now have four such suits on their hands. Tim Hon. William Douglass Seltzer, who claims to be president of the Good Government party, vonchsafed the information that his followers will support the Republican county ticket. The Deiuocrats have taken to the woods, since learning of this announcement. From all quarters comes news of the prosperity prevailing through the country. The Railway Age of Chicago says : Freight traffic throughout the country is so heavy that a shortage of cars is the general cry. The large grain traffic in the West and the coal traffic in the East are responsible for this condition of things. Even in New England every available freight car is being pressed into service, owing to the steady growth of all kinds of traffic. From present indi cations the year 1899 will eclipse all former years in the volume of busi ness handled. The wheat crop, which has been mostly harvested, is heavy throughout the West and Northwest, although there has been some damage on account of excessive rrrfns and the heat, and the late rains give assurance of a large yield of corn. The condition of the average western farmer was never better than it is to-day, and all signs point to a continuation of the general prosperity which the country is now enjoying. Pensions Decrease. It Is evident from the advance sheets issued by the Commissioner of Pensions that from now on there will be a steady diminution in the amount of money paid out by the United States government for pensions. It is uoyv almost forty years since the Civil War broke out, and in tho natural course of events, the soldiers, who then enlisted as young men and who survive are approaohing the three-score and ten year period in their lives. Very many of the old veterans have passed away, and it Is to be aorpeoted that the list of those who depart each year will grow longer until all slialLhuve passed over to the great majority. In this whole matter of pension the Government has endeavored to fulfill its duty in caring for the men who left homes and families and risked their lives In defense of the ling and the Union. There has doubtless been abuses and wrongs which have crept into the service. Some have perhaps received pensions to which they were not entitled, while others have been deprived of their Just dues. But on the whole there can be no question but that the Government has made an honest effort todisoharge its obligations to its defenders. There yejt remains thpse who have passed through the Cuban war, and those who are engaged In the" Philippines, and for them, too, the Government will make just provision In return for their duvotion to their country.

DROUGHT HACK FROM TUB GRAVE. Last November Mr. Joseph James, painter, of 32S W. Pearl St., Indianapo lis, Intl., was at death's door with quick consumption. Wasted to a skeleton; his lungs a mass of ulceration; his death was hourly awaited by his doctor and family. He was kept hi a constant stupor with opium. A friend, thinking to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seding its wonderful effect, the doctor advised Its continued use. Mr. James soon after dismissed his doctor, and depended on the Balm alone. His recovery was rapid and complete, and lu February he returned to work. His lungs are sound, and lm weight greater than at any time in his life. His recovery is regarded as almost a miracle. COMMA BACILLUS. In consumption beware of cough mix tures and prescriptions that contain opium. Opium paralizes the nerves, and gives the comma bacillus a good chance to destroy the lungs. It is always fatal. .Brazilian Balm does not contain a trace of any opiate, but stimu lates the nerves with new life and power, destrovs the microbe, and restores all that is left of the diseased lungs to a sound and healthy state which no other remedy has ever been known to accom plish.
