A Fine Bequest.
In these days when the accumulatiOn
40 "property is looked upon by so many
a a proof: of heartlessness and sin, it is a
“refreshment to read of the will left by
3.2 Elassac-h'usetts womah, whose heart
beat constantly and warme fer the 5
weak and unfortunate. This'good wo-
man has left the fortune of $100,000 to ‘
the Aged Home for Women and Chil-I
Ills-on at Lowell, and $50,000 more to the
Enousylvania Hospital at Philadelphia.
The incident, which is one of many .to
be found in the newspapers from week
so week, does a lot to prove to a sus-
picious, world that it is by no means an
exception for wealth to acknowledge
in a practical way the obligation it
our-es the world. It is not always satis-
' fled to see itself fatten and grow power-
ful. It finds a pleasure of its own in
catering to the needs of those who have
been both less fortunate and unfOrtun-
Me. If the amount of money, right
inure In “the selfish and vivacious east, ”
which is annually given to the cause of
education, to the different charities, to
mt- art galleries, the libraries, the pub-
lic parks, and the hundred and one
things which show a sympathy for and
an interest in mankind, could be
summed up into one grand total, a. les-
son would be taught selfish agitators
. which they sadly need. The corrup-
; film of money exists as the corruption
~91” humanity exists; but it is not true
that the wealth of this country is utter-
lynegligent of its responsibilities. If:
m: are gOing to study the question at
all. it ought to be studied from; every
jaunt of, View, not from that alone of

‘A‘-_
lithe Underlying Question.
The masses of the American people
are honest. They are men of good will,
acxmrding to their lights. They have
an inherited respect Of the rights of
the neighbor, and for God’s command-
ments; They are not deaf to a direct,
earnest, persistent appeal to the best
in them. An appeal of that sort has.
more chances? for N‘success than any
other, says the Hartford Courant.
lit will not be enough for the Repub-
Jinan party to explain how the pro-
gamed debasing of the country’s money
and repudiating (in part) of the . coun-
mjyfs obligations would be foolish,
.short‘sighted, bad for business, had for
also pensioner, the savings-bank deposi-
-\or. the wage~camer, the farmer, a tre-
mendous mistake and calamity. All-
ibis should he explained, but there is
"smoothing more impbrtant. From this
dime on, it should be the chief concern
and task of the Republican party to
press home upon the American people
41711:: question whether they are willing
no turn their backs upon their honest
113.25%. to break individual faith and pub-
lic faith. toswindle the private credi-
itcr, and the public‘creditor, to trample
their country’s honor in the dirth, and
to become a nation ofliars, cheats and
, thieves.
That is the real question behind the
Janis-Nico of free coinage and thepayment
.of'lxmds in one kind of coin oranothcr.
It is the vital (position. It goes to the
sin-3i heart of the matter. If the Re-
pm’blicans and their Democratic allies
3-7111) believe in national honesty do not
stick in the bark Of this great contro-
smu- and “surrender the chief advan-
iage ofithleil' position,” they will win
in 1900 (whatel'cr happens this Fall) Ias
surely as the supporters.’ of Abraham
Lincoln and enemies of human slavery
m in 1860.

kept her busy breaking their half-

creaks 'all the horses herself. By 6

Scalp [Inviting for Pay. ‘
It is not generally known in latter-
lay Minnesota history that the state
.reasury once paid/out cash as boun-
:i‘es for Sioux Indian scalps, just as
.his and many other states are now-
;aying for wolf scalps. State Treas-
urer Koerner, in looking over the
l83l§ report of State Treasurer Charles
Schaff, discovered the following item
llIlOIlg the disbursements of that year:
."J. C. Davis, Sioux scalp, $25.” This
item occurs in the list of disburse-
ments amounting to $7,870.06, under
the head “Suppressing Indian War.”
The 325 paid to J. C. Davis for the:
[ndian scalp in ‘ question, therefore,
had its niche in the cause of suppress-
ing, or spreading the, Sioux outbreak.
[t doubtless strikes the general reader
that $25 is rather small inducement
for securing Sioux s'calps. Few hunt-,
srs to-day would care to contract for
pelts of that kind . for that figure.

A Concise MEMORANDUM,
I. P. G., However, Had a. Difl'erent'lflean?’ '
in}: to the Mother Than to the 18011.»,
‘ Part of the boyhood- of Bishop
Barry was spent at boarding-sellool,
where, during his first term, he was
mowed $10 as spending money. ”His
mother, on giving it to him, requested
inexact account of his daily expendi- .
lures. He tried to keep his word, but
sometimes, forgetting to post the
'tcms fordays together, it was dif-
ficult to recall them, and he invented
an abbreviation corresponding very
nearly to sundries, which appeared
pretty regularly throughout his ac-
count. '
When Mrs. Barry first looked over
aer boy’s account—book on his return,
she was much pleased at the most fre-
quently recurring item of expense,
and inquired how herhad been led to
take so strong an interest in the cause
of missions. Astonished in his-turn,
ue declared he had not given a penny
:O missions. .
“But, surely,” exclaimed Mrs. Barry,
"the society for the propagation of the
Gospel is missionary work, and I find
ihat more than half your money has
seen givenin small sums to S. P. G.”
“S. P. G,, mother,” confessed the
’uture dignitary of‘the Church, V“does
not mean Society for, the Propagation
If the Gospel. When I could not re-
member what I spent my money for,
I put. down S. P. G.-—Something,‘
Probably Grub.’ ”—-—Christian Com-

The Power of Exa'mplc.

lented himself one Sunday for mem~

lie was asked by the examining com-
uittee if any special sermon by the
Iastor had influenced him to takethe
lep, and he replied, “No.”
He was asked if any member of the
lhurch had been talking with him on
Elie subject, and he said, “No.”
On being urged to give the reason,
Ie said: “There is a man who has
vorked beside me in the shop for sev-
Iral years, who I knew bore thename
If Christian. I have watched this man,
ind his patient, faithful daily ,Work,

How TO rmoflou'r.
Fill a bottle or common glass -.:.with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is'also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder areout of order. ., . ..
> WHAT T0" 00. '
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that_ Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability, to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, Or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
- many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
Co., BinghamI-on, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this affair. '
