From the New Tork Evening Post.
It is six weeks today since the polls
closed in the Mutual Insurance Com
pany’s elections, and for the first time
it can truly be said that both the Mu
tual Life and New York Life inspectors
are actively engaged in canvassing the j They have drawn up a new li

al tables, watchers 01 no watchers. Mr.
Scrugham suggested a compromise. By
his terms the additional tables will
handle only the comittee’s ballots, of
which there are about 100.000. ami
which naturally the committee does not
care to challenge.
Trouble has arisen between the in
ternational committee and the New
York Life officials over the official list
of policyholders on file at Albany. The
committee has requested that they be
furnished with a copy of this list in
order to check off the vote as it is can-
sed. To this the company demurs.

These Pills Hav.e Cured Rheu
matism in Almost Every
Form and in Ad

Rheumatism may be inherited and
this fact makes it conclusive that it is
a disease of the blood.
Rheumatism is a painful inflamma
tion of the muscles or of the coverings
of the joints and is sometimes accom
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscles for a
time, leaves it and passes on to an
other. The most dangerous tendency
of the disease is to attack the heart.
External applications may give relief
for a time hut the disease
cannot be cured until the blood is puri
fied. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are the
best medicine for this purpose as their
action is directly on the blood, mak
ing it rich, red and healthy. When the
blood is pure there can he no rheuma

PITTSBURG. Felt. 13.—Congressman
Champ Clark, of Missouri, and G«ver-$
nor Warfield, of Maryland, with Gov
ernor Stuart, of this Slate, wece the
principal speakers at tlte annual Lin
coln day banquet of tiie Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, of Pitts
burg. ' Governor Warfield spoke on tho
topic, “The South as Lincoln left it,
and the South of today.” and in part
sttid that the “the South as Lincoln left
it, was a country bereft of all save
honor. I firmly believe that had Lin
coln lived he would have given Gen
eral Lee his systematic co-operation
in the task he undertook of healing and
binding up the wounds of his country
men and directing them in the paths of
peace and patriotism.
“Lincoln would never have sanction
ed the indiscriminate enfranchisement
of the negro, nor approval of the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments, .nor
have tolerated the plundering and out
rages of the reconstruction period.
“It was not the elevation of the negro
to a social or political equality with
the white man that Lincoln advocated.
It was the institution of slavery that
he disapproved. There is a physical
difference between the white and black
races which I believe will forever for
bid the two races living together on
terms of social and political equality.”
Governor Warfield said tiiat the
scheme of the politicians who forced
the negro enfranchisement, to punish
the white people of the South and keep
them in subjection, is returning to
plague those who fathered the outrage,
as race issue is today more acute in
the State of Ohio than it is in any
other State in the Union.
The speaker then presented statistics
of the growth and progress of the
South, adding: “You of Pittsburg
