NoameAznm. 'Truth above all things.’ FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1395. Entered in the Post Office as a Newspaper. Comparisons Tell the Story. Thefielation of the party of free trade andopen markets over an increase in he exportatiOn of manufactured arti- . cles has led to an examination of the /. merits of the claim that ‘the Wilson bill has been of any benefit to trade, and The American Economist finds that it has not. This journal has compared the agricultural products exported with our manufactured gonds in 1891, 1892 and 1895, taking the first nine months of each of these years, andjollowing is the result of its examination: Nine Mouths’ Exports to September 30: 1891. 1892. 1895. Agricultural—— 3445351024 3498.866. .75 $355,977,041 Ma'nufactures— ‘ 126,911,057 111,290,024 145,793,586 “Comparingjthis year with 1891, it is seen that our exports of agricultural products have been $100,000,000 less than then, while our exports of manu- facturers” have increased by less than $19,000,000. The net loss in our export trade, therefore, was $81,000,000. Com- paring this year with 1892, we find that the decrease in our agriculturafiexports has been $143,000,000, while the in- crease in our exports of manufactures was $34,500,000. The net loss in this year’s export trade, as relating to agri- cultural and manufactured products, was $108,500,000 in nine months or at the rate of $135,000,000 a year.” .- An impor tant Decision. The New York Court of Appeals, the highest. judicial tribunal in that State, has recently rendered a decision that will interest street railway corporations aid their patrons in all parts of the country. The immediate application of the decision is, of course, limited to a single State, but, as it deals with gen- eral principals, not a th a statutory en- actment, it is quite likely to serve as a widely accepted precedent and may have a bearing on the suit to be brought against the Tramway company by the heirs of the late Oliver 3. Mumford, who was thrown from a trolley car at Rowayton in October last, and killed. i The court decides that a man thrown from the platform of a car on which he had been riding can recover damages from the'company for the injuries he received. The court referred to .the habitual practice of street car com- panies to permit people to ride on the platform, and held that the existence of this practice precluded the company from claiming exemption from resul‘- ing injuries. One of the worst annoyances of street car travel in every city comes from permitting people to ride on the plat- form. There are many persons who prefer to ride there when there is plen- ty of room inside. Other passengers, entering or leaving the car, have to push their way through the outside crowd, a process that is not agreeable to genlemen, and is extremely disagree- able in ladies. Cardnal s‘atom. The elevating to a 'cardinalate of Mgr. Satolli, the Papal Delegate to the Roman Catholic Church in :the United States, is another reminder of the growing recognition granted to this . country of late years by the Holy See. The first American Cardinal filled the office with dignity and ability. Cardi- nal Gibbons does so to-day, and no one doubts that Cardinal Satolli will be an ornament to the body of scholarly men who assist in preserving the influence of the Vatican. Satolli .is not an But he has been in this country long enough. as the represen- tative of the Catholic Church, to be- come imbued with the spirit of our institutions so far as it is possible to a Catholic clergyman, and in his eleva- tion the Vatican is paying a tribute to the faithful in the United States. The Growth of Our Industries. American. The one infallible barometer of the growth of industries in this country is found in the records of our great trans- portation lines. Their reports of the condition of American industies are in- fallible. Aniofiicial of the Pennsylvania Railroad recently speaking of the dif- ference in railroad traffic since one year ago, said that on the lat of December, 1894, that company had 18,000 cars- stowed away in sheds because not want- 'W ‘E E K L" Y. 3‘0““ i L. K ‘ SENATE’WET DAY. ed, while to-day they are not only using every car they own, but could use over 30,000 more cars than they have at their 7 command. When asked whether it was not possible to obtain cars from other railways to bridge over the emergency, the answer was that every ptbcr rail- road in the country has use for more cars than it now possesses. ' Such is the record of our present industries as writ- ten by the only safe barometer of bus. iness and trade. .‘p-n—u A Wrong lmpresson. It is reported that the Marquis of Queensberry is coming to America. It will probably require a personal visit of the Marquis to this country to dis- pel the mistaken notion which prevails here that he is a burly prize-fighter, simply because his name is associated with the rules of the prize ring. Not only is he not a prize—fighter, but he takes only a. languid interest in prize- fighting, and abhors prize-fighters. He drafted the rules to govern fistic contests just as a lawyer would draw up a. contract for his client. They were good rules and were adopted by the profession. Queensberry’s connection with the prize ring does not go beyond this. In addition to not being a pugi- list or a patron of pugilism, he has earned the thanks of all England by sending Oscar Wilde to Pentonville prison. Allison and the Presidency. The Republican State Central Com» mittee 'of Iowa has formerly placed Senator William 13. Allison, of that State. in the field for the Republican nomination for the Presidency. In so doing the committee has acted entirely within its perogatives. NO citizen of the Republic has better earned the title of ‘5a good Western man” than the distinguished Senator from the Hawkeye State. He has earned the right to be considered thoroughly American in instincts and spirit, and a broad-gauged, high-minded and level- headed statesman. As the incumbent of the Presidency Senator Allison would never give his countrymen occasion to apologize for him. ——-—————— ~-—~ do D --———— _- FAMOUS POLITICAL PH BASE. Used In Different Forms by Lincoln, The- odore Parker and Webster. In a letter headed “Not Lincoln’s Own Words, ” a correspondent points out that the words “government of the in the famous Gettysburg address were not original with Lincoln. He attempts to further show that they were original with Henry Wilson, and were quoted by Lincoln from a letter written in 1860 by Wilson to certain persons in Boston. In a speech delivered at the New England antislavery convention, Boston, May 29, 1850, by Theodore Parker, may be found the expression “a government of all the' people,'by all the people, for all the people, ” the exact language, with the exception of one word, of that ascribed to Wilson and employed by Lincoln. But still further back had the same idea been expressed in substantial- ly the same way by Daniel Webster in one of his most splendid oratorical ef- forts, whose every phrase was familiar to all patriotic Americans long before Parker uttered his speech or Wilson wrote his letter. In his second speech on Foot’s resolution, Jan. 26, 1880, Webster used these words, ‘ ‘The people’s government, made for the people, made by the people and answerable to the people.” The phrase discussed belongs no more to Wilson than to Lincoln. The words can no more be said to have been “quoted” by Lincoln from Wilson than from Parker or Webster. Lincoln was familiar with the writings and speeches of Parker. He had probably never seen this particular letter of Wilson‘s. That his language should be exactly the same as that of the latter was a. coincidence, but probably nothing more. The phrase was merely the expression, in the sim- plest, most direct language, of the gin. rious yet popular and familiar idea of the constitution and object of our form of government. The expression cannot be ascribed to any one man. Lincoln does not give ' ultement as apositive tended to all}. to his laurels as a public speaker, but uses tlie'vvords as descrip- tive of our government in uttering the resolve that it “shall not perish from the eart .” That some words of the speech had been said before does not detract from the beauty or grandeur of Lincoln’s ad- dress as a whole. His speech, which has been declared to be the greatest in the records of oratory of our own or any other country, was so not because it was the labored and polished effort of a practiced orator, but because of the greatness of the man, as a man, who uttered it.—Washington Star.

CALL CALLS SPAIN TO BOOK. Va Wants the Cuban Ibsur'genu Recog. nized as Belllgerenta—Rezards Them as Patriots ——0ther Washing.- ton Notes of Interest. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-—There was a. very good attendance when the senate met at noon today. The first blll introduced was one by Mr. Mills (Dem., Tom) for the coinage of the silver in the treasury. A bill, introduced , by Mr. Chandler (Rep, N. H.) for the free coinage of sil- ver at the ratio of 15% to 1, the bill to become operative when England, Germany and France pass similar laws, was listed ad to with great attention by the mem- bers of the senate. Petitions from Elorida. for the recogni- tion of Cuba and from the legislature of Montana against further issuance of bonds were presented. . A resolution offered by Mr. Call (06111., Fla.) was adopted calling upon the secre« ‘ tary of state to send to the senate the cor- respondence relating to the case of Gen- eral Sanguilly, an American citizen sen- tenced to life imprisonment for alleged complicity in the Cuban revolution, and directing him to procure a copy of the rec- ord in the case if it is not on file at the lepartment. ' ' Mr. Gallinger (Rep, N. H.) introduced a resolution declaring it to be the sense of the senate that it was unwise and inexpe- dlent to retire the greenbacks. Mr. Mitchell (Rep, 0r.) introduced a. resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the secretary of the treasury to inform the senate why the constructicn of the public building at Portland, Or., for which an appropriation was made by the last congress, was not proceeded with. To Recognize Cuba’s Bolligerency. At the conclusion of the preliminary routine business, Mr. Call (Dem, Fla.) called up his resolution of Tuesday and addressed the senate. The resolution provided for the recogni- tion by the United States of a state of public war between Spain and the govern- ment proclaimed and for some time main- tained by force of arms by the people of Cuba; declaring that the United States would maintain a condition of strict neu< trality between the contending powors and accord to each the rights of belliger- ents in the ports of the United States. The resolution further declares that the United States protests and remonstrates against the barbarous manner in which the war in Cuba has been conducted and authorizes the president to take such steps as may be necessary to secure an observ-- ance of the laws of war as recognized by all civilized nations. Mr. Gall drew a. graphic picture of the ruin, misgovernment and barbarous cru- elty against which the Cubans were con- tending and their long struggle for free: dom. He described the former revolutions and declared that the progress against, tyranny made by the native Cubans, who maintained, as we had maintained in 1776, that just government must derive its au- thority from the cOnsent of the governed, entitled them to recognition as belliger- ents and the neutrality of other nations. He considered it an outrage that the United States should not hold out an en- couraging band to those who were strugg- gling for independence, but instead of speeding the Cubans on their course he insisted that this government was actu- ally rotarding the revolution—was, “ in fact, furnishing aid to the Spanish tyrant. The senate then, at 1:20 p. m., went into executive session, confirmed Matt W. Ransom as minister to Mexico, and at 1:45 p.‘ m. adjourned until Monday. To Expedite House Contest!- WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—Speaker Reed is considering a plan to divide the work on' contested election cases by forming two election committees in this house. The plan. if adopted, would greatly facilitate the work of disposing of the contests be- fore the house and would give the con- testants who may be found to be entitled to seats for which others now hold certifl- cates their rights sooner than they might obtain them otherwise. There are 32 con- tests On hand, and they will furnish much work for one committee to grapple with. The business of this committee corre~ sponds largely to that of a court, as it bears all the evidence in every case and then votes upon it and reports to the house. It is said that the question of economy, counts with Mr. Reed in the matter, for when a member is unseated the’lalary for the position during the time the contest was pending is paid to both of the claim- ants as well as the expenses of conducting the case before the committee. ’ Although there was talk before congress met that the southern Republicans might try to bring about congressional action on the state constitutions of South Carolina and Mississippi, Which they claim are de— signed to disfranchise their party, there does not seem to be much likelihood that any effective steps in that direction war be taken. Some of the new members have talked with the house veterans on the sub- iect and have become convinced that there Is nothing this congress can do, and that the only practical measure would be to bring'the questions involved into the su‘ preme court. . South Carolina’s Constitution. In the next congress, if it be a Repub- licnn house, the status will be different. Already there is talk among southern Re- publicans that members who bring cre- dentials from South Carolina to the next congress may be refused their seats on the ground that the state has not the Repub- lican form of government guaranteed by the constitution. Mr. , Murray of South Carolina, who Was the only colored member of the ' last congress, is back as a contestant for his old seat, the certificate to which is held by a Democrat. He claims to have been counted out and says he has not the slightest doubt that he will be seated. The Republicans of the state, he says, notwithstanding their recent rebuff in the supreme court, are preparing to bring the question of the validity of the new constitution before the court in a form which they think will require a decision on the main issue at stake. General opinion among the house Re- publicans appears to be that this congress will be conservative in unseatingc the 32 members whose seats are contested. The Republican majority is so largesthat there Is no need to strain a point in unse‘ating, Democrats. ' '—-Siibscr‘ibe for the Guerra. "cxzn .. “ an“ rmxiprbzrzrs Retort.

There —didn’t be?” And Miss Vanderbilt, who was pos- sessed of rare dignity, held up her curly head a trifle higher and answered quietly: “I really don’t know. But if he did I’m sure they were good matches.”— New York Herald. The Cable Code. One of the curiosities of the Cable code method of sending information is shown in a recent message announcing the loss by fire of a ship at sea. The whole message was conveyed in three words of Scott’s cable Code: “Smoulder- 'ed ; hurrah ; hallelujah !’ ’ “Smouldered’ ’ stands for “ the. ship has been destroyed by fire," “hurrah” for “crew saved by boats” and “hallelujah” for“all hands saved—inform wives and sweethearts.” —New York Tribune. It is said that the blind never dream of visible objects, and a mute has been observed when dreaming to carry on a conversation by means of his fingers or in writing. NerVousness Is only another name for impure , blood, for no person is weak and ner- vous whose blood isperfectly pure. When the blood is full of the germs of disease, and lacking in the red cor- . puscles which give it vitality, when it . fails to properly nourish the organs and tissues of the body, what can you expect but that tired feeling and ner— vousness? Of course Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni- versally recognized as blood diseases, for which Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as the best blood purifier, is everywhere acknowled the greatest remedy. Therefore, as Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures all blood diseases, it is the best remedyfor that condition of the blood which causes Nervousness. It is a false idea to think you are curing your nervousness when you are taking apreparation which only quiets your nerves I It is like trying to “drown” your sorrows in the flowing bowl. They are sure to return. ' We wish to make most impressive, then, this truism: You cannot purify your blood by .DEADENING or QUIETING your nerves with opiate, narcotic or nerve com- pounds.
