It is better for the democrats that the republicans should control congress for the next two years. It will throw ell tbe responsibility ot the govern* nient upon tbe republican party and make them easier to defeat io tbe elections of 1900.—Chattanooga News. The lynching ot tbe negro Stewart near Lscon, 111., Monday, is but an other of tbe numerous and convincing proofs that human nature is the same everywhsre. Confronted with the same conditions, the people of tbe North and West act in just tbe same way as the people of the South —Nor folk Landmark. Tbe combinations know as trusts are not quite e»tieood with tbe illegal profits whiefi they esn gather at the hands of Using men. They follow the consumer into his grave. Both the coffin makers and the tombstone mas kero have combined to put up prices. In this way new terror is added to the fear of death.—Philadelphia Record. w.-. '■■■■"!« The defeat of Lom Quigg, republican candidate lor re-election to congress from one of the New York city dis tricts, shows tbe influence of tbe sol dier when people come to vote. Quigg is PJatt’s right hand man, but even the Boss could not save him from a most crushing defeat by Oapt. William Astor Chenier, the democratic nornh nee. Oapt. Chenier was in tbe His pano-American war, and be turned Quigg’a 11,900 majority of two years ago into a democratic majority of about B,ooo.—Nashville American. Lieutenant Commander Ira Harris, who commanded tbe Maria Teresa up to tbe time of her abandonment, baa been detached from the repair ship Vulcan and ordered to the receiving ship Franklin at Norfolk. It is regard ed aa certain in naval circles that a court martial will follow if the Maria Teresa be found afloat or stranded on a beach anywhere. A court of inquiry will surely be held, even if tbe cruiser is not found. The detail of tbe court has already been arranged and tba time and place of meeting decided in anticipation of a report from the offl* cere sent to search for the Maria Teresa. The Philadelphia Ledger says sup pose there should be, as tbe London Mail predicts, “a scramble for coaling stations in the Philippines that would endanger tbe peace of tbe world,” would that be any worse than the par tition of China, or even Africa? Why must the United States be burdened with these islands, merely to prevent any other power or powers from taking them? Is it not even possible that it would be to tbe interests of civilisation in the islands to let them be partition ed up among civilized nations, sup posing it to be impossible for them to maintain an independent existence by themselves?

I . ■ • : Facto which have been received al ’ Columbus totally contradict the story that Rev. Ed. F. Cook, chaplain of the First Georgia Regiment, has been sub jectod to 111 treatment at Brawn’s Hotel, in Howard, on the night of Oct. 14 The publication to this effect went on to say that the hotel keeper, with a drummer who was ono of his guests for the night, entered Mr. Cook’s room and insisted upon hie drinking whis ky, and so on. Tbe contradiction of tba story comes from Mr. Cook himself, who declares that be was bvep'tably received and well treated by all wi<h Whom he met. It is true that the hotel keeper and the drummer in question, fa ignorance of Mr Cook's profession, bad offered him a drink, btft that upon learning that he was a clergyman apologized most earnestly and treated him with the highest pos* sib'e respect.

Fill a bottle or common glass with.your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unheal thy condition of the kidneys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble; tod frequent desire to pass It or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kid neys and bladder are out of order. What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so of ten expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills ev ery wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp- Root is soon realized. It stands the high est for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

Breaks The Dividend Record. It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend resulta: Mr. Banks was insured for • The dividends amounted to Paid to the estate ’ 028 0 ? How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and he did this for fifty-tour years. He dia not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,288. Issued March 5,1845. , tf’ ooo. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan- Original insurance in 1845 • • • Dividend additions paid in 1898, ..12,028.00 Amount of death claim 54 Premiums paid by insured Realized to estate over premiums paid $8,388.00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (21) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from so,uve at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. . ._ B The dividend additions paid to the estate were 189 per cent of all the premiums paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of his method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.
