VOL. XXX. PERRY, HOUSTON COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1901. NO. 26. WASHINGTON LETTER. Our Regular Correspondence. The word has gone fourth from the Administration that Senator Cullom must be the next Chairman of the Senate Committee on For eign Relations, not only to keep Senator Lodge, with his radical ideas about abrogating the Clav- ton-Bulwer Treaty,away from the post, but ajso because Cullom has taken a strong stand for recipro city and Lodge is opposed to it. Though there has been no open public avowal on the part of the Administration of what the Home Market Club wonld call “back sliding”, the suspicions of the Protective Tariff League, which are finding expression, appear to be well founded. A determined contest between the Administra tion forces and the most stubborn protectionists of the party is ex pected over the question of recip rocity on the opening of Congress. The conflict is not confined to the question raised by Representative Babcock, who proposes to place products of the Steel Trust on the free list, but extends to the poli cy of opening new markets and of fostering trusts as a means of un derselling rivals in foreign mar kets. The President holds the opinion with which he is credited that there must be some flexibili ty given to the tariff system— through reciprocity— to facilitate the fullfillment of his dream of commercial supremacy. Some of his Cabinet believe that the^coun- try has outgrown a part of the needs of protection and that to find markets is now the thing. The third Assistant Postmaster Genera], Mr. Madden, has an nounced that the order will soon be issued depriving of the privileges of second class mail rates, all publications that give premiums with their papers. He asked some 400 papers what they thought of such a rule, being careful to query only such as give no premiums. About three fourths of these en dorsed the idea and Mr. Madden says that this proves that the country is overwhelmingly in fa vor of it. He takes no accouut of the opposition of such publishers as The Century, Harper’s, Mc Clure’s, Life, Review of Reviews, The Churchman Company, Out ing Publishing Company, Congre gational Work, Evangelist Pub lishing Company, Christian Work, New York Observer, E. L. Kellogg Company, Funk&Wagnalls Com- prny, New York Weekly Witness, Orange Judd Company, Phelps Publishing Company, Publsc Opinion. The highnandedness of this proposed rule is shown by the fact that in his circular Mr. Madden admits frankly that Con gress has been asked three times by tie Department tofso restrict the second class rates and has three times refused to do so. Now the Department discovers that it can act without a special law in the case, and proposes to work a reform that Congress has three times refused to bring about. Didn't. Marry for Money.

There is a disposition on the part of several self-styled Demo cratic newspapers that did not loyally support Mr. Bryan in his two races for the presidency as the nominee of the Democratic party to nag him on the slightest pretext and at every possible op portunity. They can neither treat him fairly nor let him alone, but appear to be ever on the alert to misrepresent and belittle him. The Philidelphia Record belongs to this class of newspapers. We might refer to some of the same sort nearer home,but it is an edi torial paragraph in that paper now before us that suggests these few lines. The Record suggests that “as President McKinley has ab solutely declined a third nomina tion in spite of the facts of his growing popularity and of the outspoken preference of some of his admirers, it would be well for Mr. Bryan to follow the example set by his sucsessful opponent.” Continuing, the Record reminds us that “twice the Democratic party has sacrificed its self in the effort to push Mr. Bryan into the White House,” and that it is now Mr. Bryan’s turn to do the sacri ficial act by stepping aside, so that some man might be named who would satisfy and solidify the whole party.” Mr. Bryan has announced more than once since his lasc defeat that he did not ex pect to be a candidate for the presidency again. Only a few days ago such an announcement was made by him *and publisned throughout the country. The Rec ord has certainly not failed to see these announcements. Yet it in sists on referring to him as a can- didat for a third nomination for the presidency. There are over six millions of loyal Democrats in the country who voted for Mr. Bryan to be president and who respect himfor his ability, patri otism and steadfast adherence to principle, and there is nothing to be gained by those who despise him, because he would not fall down and worship the golden calf with them, by nagging him. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to care deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf ness is caused by au infUmed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the iofDf mation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi tion, hearing will be destryoed for ever; niue cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is^ noth ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Efall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J.

Savannah News, Wall street is speculating as to the amount of the July dividends. The amount is placed as high as $150,000,000. if it should be that much it would be a record break er. The amount paid out last July was $125,000,000. There have been several great enterprises started within the last year and they will pay dividends. There is considerable curiosity to know whether or not the bil lion dollar steel trust will pay a dividend on its common stock. It is thought by some that it will, but if it should not it is regarded as certain that it will on Aug. 1. At present the Standard Oil Company is the largest dividend payer in the country, although its capital is only $100,000,000, while that of the great steel trust is over a billion dollars. It is certain, of course, that the billion dollar trust will pay a dividend on its preferred stock. That stock pays 7 per cent., but not all of it has been issued. The amount of it is $550,000,000. There is $550,000,- 090 of the common stock, and if that should pay a 4 per cent, div idend the steel trust would pay more in diviuends than the Stan dard Oil trust. The latter has paid out almost $50,000,000in a single year. But whether the steel trust pays a dividend on its common stock or not, there will be set afloat a vast amount on July 1. No “H” In It. A young tenor singer of London was asked recently at a “smoker” to favor the company with a song, says an exchange. He gave a very fair rendering of the once popular “Happy Be Thy Dreams,’’but did uot aspirate the letter “h” once. When he had finished he resumed his seat, which was next to one oc cupied by a bald headed old man, who bluntly remarked: “You have a good voice young man,but you didn’t sound a single ‘h’—and the song’s full of ’em.” “I beg your pardon, sir,” retort ed th evocalist with dignity, “you are mistaken; it*dosen’t go any ’igher than G!” Saves Two Frcm Death. “Our little daughter had an al most fatal attack of whooping cough and bronchitis,” writes Mrs. W. K. Haviland, of Armonk, N. Y.’ “but, when all other reme dies failed, we saved her life with Dr. King’s New Discovery. Our niece who had Consumption in an advanced stage, also used this wonderful medicine and to-day she is perfectly well.” Desperate throat and lung diseases yield to Dr. King’s New Discovery as to no other medicine on earth.
