From Our Regular Correspondent.
The reported alliance -between
this country, or rather between the
present administration of the gov
ernment, and the powers of Great
Britain and Germaay promises to
give the republicans endless em
barrassment No treaty of alli
ance has been made, nor prepared
for signature; and of course none
could be operative without ratifi
cation by the Senate. Bat while
there has been no forma! treaty
negotiated, there undoubtedly has
been an interchange of diplomatic
assurances, well understood abroad
This is evidenced in the pnblic ex
pressions of onr ambassador to
England, Mr. Choate. Taking his
cue from the State Department, it
appears that Mr. Choate has lost
no opportunity to assure Great
Britain that the Americans regard
that monarchy as an unmitigated
blessing, whose power should be
extended to every zone excepting
that occupied by theUnited States.
The consequence of this is that the
American people are put in the po
sition of abetting a monarchy in
its war against a struggling repub
lic in South Africa. Chamberlaiu,
speaking for the English state de
partment, has congratulated his
countrymen, on our moral support,
which he rates as of the utmost
value. This pretty understanding
has its drawbacks. The publica
tion of such utterances abroad has
led to pertinent questions at home.
The question is being asked: By
what authority do these officials
who are charged with but brief au
to speak as for the great American
republic in bucIi matters? By
none of course, is the answer; and
the administration, fearing a very
lively discussion of State Depart
ment pprformaaces, makes haste to
deny publicly that there is an “al
liance.” Of course there has bean
no alliance; but there has been an
imderstaDding, which if duly pub
lished aud admitted throughout
the world, would serve all the mor
al purposes of an. alliance. This
understanding was given by offi
cious Republican State Depart
ment ageDts,- prominent among
them being Mr. Hay, the Secreta
ry of State, lately returned from
London, greatly impressed by the
splendors of the court of St. James,
the magnificence of royalty and the
wisdom of the Honse of Lords;
but with not enough of American
manhood in bis composition to Bee
soma of the defects and burdens of
even the most liberal monarchy.
But these geutlemeu, seeing the
political error they have made at
home, are beating a hasty retreat;
aud now are printing assurances
here that there is nothing in the
reported alliance; aod at the same
time, no doubt, cabling renewed
wink6 to Choate that denials at
home are made only for home con
sumption.
Mark Hanna has announced Jefi
nitely that he does not wish to serve
through another campaign as chair
man of the Republican National
Committee. One reason inducing
Hanna to withdraw is that he
doubts the probability of McKin
ley succeeding himself; and he
does not care to take the brant of
the criticism and condemnation of
Republicans that will come to the
committee in the event of failure.
Marietta JouraaL
The explanation which, we think,
will cover the largest number of
failures, is the following by Ed
ward J. Nally, assistant general
superintendent of the Postal Tele
graph Company, who has under
hiB direct supervision more than
2,000 male employes: “Lack o£
concentration of purpose and ener
gy appears to madthe main obsta
cle which prevents the young men
of today from ‘carrying the mes
sage to Garcia.’ The man who is
paid $50 a month and earns what
he gets and no more is the man
who sticks in a $50 position and is
not advanced on the pay roll; On
the other hand, the employe who
draws only $50 but works as if he
were being paid $80 is invariably
the one to be chosen for promo
tion to the eighty-dollar place.”
Drunkenness, gambling, other
bad habits, lack of ability and
training, vacillation and a host of
other causes are concerned in the
failures of many men, bat it seems
to us there can be no-cjonbt that
the majority of failures are the di
rect result of insufficient energy,
indolence and an unwillingness to
do more than seems absolutely nec
essary in order to hold a pqsitiou.
Life! Life! What it is none can
tell! What it amounts to we are
quite familiar with. We are here
without our knowing it, and we
pass away when least c-xpecting it.
We by “instinct,” perhaps, mourn
for those who have passed beyond
earthly troubles, when, in fact, we
should have been edacated to be

Catarrh Cannot be Cured,

ease. Catarrh is a blood or con
stitutional disease, and in order to
cure it yon ’ must take internal
remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Care is
taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
country for years, and is a regular
prescription. It is composed of
one of the best tonics known, com
brned with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous sur
faces. The perfect combination of
the two ingredients is what pro
daces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. Send for testimo

hence rejoice at their good for
tune. Bat alas for custom! We
mourn and give tears to the tomb,
when we should save sympathy
for those whom we know are in
need of our care on earth. Oar
biers are surrounded by wreaths of
beautiful flowers; gems of fioral ;
elegance are placed oyer the cold
heart, when perhaps words of love
in life would have prolonged our
stay here and happier. Queer

The British at Kimberley are
cannonading the Boers with shells
beariag the inscription, “With C.
J. Rhodes’ compliments,” and the
Boers are replying with cartridges
manufactured in England by a firm
of which Joseph Chamberlain’s
brother is a large stockholder. It
is sard that when war seemed inev
itable the Transvaal republic invi
ted bids for ammunition from Eu
ropean firms, and that the English
firms underbid firms in both Ger
many and France and secured a
large contract. .- The cartridges, it
is alleged, were surreptitiously
shipped out of England as “hard
ware” just before the war broke
out.
Does It Pay To Buy Cheap?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want
something that will relieve and
cure the more severe and danger
ous results of throat and lung trou-
b!es. What shall you do? Go to
a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible; if not pos
sible. for you, then in either case
take the ONLY remedy that has been
introduced in all civilized coun
tries with success in severe throat
and lung trbubles, “Boschee’s Ger
man Syrup,” It not only heals and
.stimulates the tissues to destroy
the germ disease, but allays infla-
mation, causes easy expectoration,
gives a-good night’s rest, and cures
the patieot. Try one bottle. Rec
ommended many years by all
druggists in the world. Sample
bottles at Holtzclaw’s Drug Store.

The cost of iabor riots is being
exemplified in an unpleasant way
to the city of Chicago in a verdict
brought by a jury against it and
in favor of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company for damages during
the riots of 1894. The amount
asked for by the railroad was
$7,000, and the amount aliased is
$2,792. Forty eight other cases of
a similar nature are pending, aud
the valae of railroad property de
stroyed, is roughly estimated at
$3,000,000. - The city has.asked for
anew trial of the caae jast deci
ded, and will carry it to the high
