AS VIEWED BY A GAMBLER.
"An honest man is tho noblest
work of God," and, says the Columbus
Enquirer-Sun, au honest trust is the
scarcest work of man.
General Miles says that what this
eonntry needs is bolter editorial writ
ers. The editors think we need better
generals to write about.
About the most difllcult job any man
ever tackled is Carnegie’s effort to die
poor. Ho can't do it, and tho longer
he lives the harder is the job.
The view has been expressed often
that gambling in cotton futures undoes
more fortunes than the gaming table,
and the recent panic on Wall street
has emphasized the fact that cotton
futures speculation is only a branch of
the business The stock exchange is
as bad, if not worse, than the cotton
market. Pal SheeJy, who is notorious
enough to enjoy the designation of
“king of the gamblers," declares with
some show of reason that Wan street
does more mischief than all the gam
bling saloons in the world. At Buf
falo he is quoted thus:
"If I run a bank the fellow that
plays gets a fair show. He may put
his money down at Monle Cario, and
its all his till the little ball drops. If
he’s gambliug in stocks, it's all the
other way. The broker's on the inside,
and, other things being eqnal, he’ll
get the money anyway.
“The player feeds the kitty before
the game begins. He starts a loser.
Now, if bo were playing my game he
might break even, but when he plays
the broker’s game he quits a loser.
The men who rnn the game in Wall
street are "sure thing” gamblers.
They know jnet how the cards are go
ing to tnrn every time.
"The limit is too big, too. Wall
street makes criminals out of bankers
and common gamblers ont of society
ladies. Yet tho game is licensed. If
I ran a game of faro the way Wall
street game is ran, I’d either be lyneh-
od, jailed or driven out of town.”
It is likely that there are many men
on Wall street these days who are in
a frame of mind to enlorse these sen
timents. While they make no excuse
for the forms of gambling which IMr.
Sheedy would endorse, we think there
is much truth in what he says about
stock gambling. There certainly ought
to be restrictions that will precludo tho
soiling of thousands of shares of stock
when the seller has none to deliver,
and other features of the game that
are as palpably wrong. — Augusta
Chronicle.
POLITIGAL CRISIS
IN ISLAND EMPIRE
Japanese Cabinet Hesigns In
a Eody.
THE WORK OF A MARPLOT

Yokohama, May 15.—The auuounco-
ment was made this morning that the
entire cabinet resigned yesterday, and
the empire is again in the throes of a
miuisterirl earthquake.
The cause of the present trouble is pe
culiar, it being occasioned by a recalci
trant member of the cabinet. Coant
Matanabe, minister of finance, who has
become persona non grata to the others
and who has refused to resign. The
other members of the cabinet therefore
resigned. *
The apshot probably will be that af
ter ineffectual efforts to get some other
leader to form a cabinet. Marquis Ito
will come into the field again as the
only possibility and reappoint tbe old
cabinet, wirh tbe exception of tbo mar
piot viscount.
Tho s:r:ii.i put upon Marquis Ito,
veteran tboagh he is, is almost tod
much for one man, as upon him deveb
ops the duty of loader of the govern
meat and n: a most tnrbnlent and un
manageable political {tarty.
The experiment of party now being
tried is interesting enough, but its suc
cess is anything hut flattering.

Mother’s
Friend
will do for every woman what it did for the

mistake to be paid for in pain aud suffering.
Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body and clear intellect, which in
turn are imparted to the child. It relascs
the muscles and allows them to expand. It
relieves morning sickness and nervousness.
It puts all the organs concerned in perfect
condition for the final hour, so that the actual
labor is short and practically painless. Dan
ger of rising or hard breasts is altogether
avoided, and recovery' is merely a nutter ol

TALL CORN
doesn’t come by accident a.
fertile soil and careful cultiva
tion arc necessary to produce
the towering stems ana heavy
ears.
Yet the farmer who under
stands that he can’t have a
healthy corn crop without
feeding and weeding, seems
to think that he can have a
healthy body without either
care or culture. But the body
is built up just as the corn Is,
by the assimilation of the
several chemical elements on
which vitality depends. And
what weeds are to the com.
diseases of the stomach ana
nutritive systems are to the
body ; they divert the neces
sary foot! supply from the
proper channels, and
body becomes lean
and ill-nourished.
The proper digestion and
assimilation of food is a pri
mary essential of health. By
healing diseases of the stom
ach ana organs of digestion and
nutrition, Dr. Pierce’s Oolden
Medical Discovery increases
the digestive and assimilative
powers, stimulates the action
of the blood making glands,
and sends to every organ of the
body the rich red-corpuscled
blood on which physical vigor
and vitality depend.
"I took two bottles of Doctor
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov
ery, for stomach trouble,” writes
Clarence Carnes, Esq., of Taylon-
town, Loudoun Co., Va. * It did
me so much good that I didn’t
take any more. I can eat most

There was a gentleman told me
about your medicine, how it had
cured his wife. I thought I would
try a bottle of it. Am now glad
that I did, for I don't know what
I would have done if it had not
been for Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med

Cortelyou this morning gave ont tbe
following bulletin as to Mrs. McKin
ley's ooudition:
“Mrs. McKtuloy rested well daring
tho night and this morning was quite
as comfortable ns her physicians ex
pected her to bo." .
There is somo probability of Presi
dent McKinley nbuudouiug his proposed
trip into the northwest, in view of the
condition of Mrs. McKiuley. Unless
there is a radical chnugo for the better,
the presidential puny will leave for
Washington soon utter the celebrntious

is much worried over the condition of
his wife, and it is evon pos-ihle that
many of the functions arranged in his

or dropped altogether.
Secretary Oortelven hos given notice
that Mrs.McKinley, should site continue
tiie trip with the president, will not
under any circumstances engage in nnv
