Many persons have their |ood
day and their bad day. Others
tie about half sick all the time.
They'have headache, backache,
and are restless and nervous.
Feed does not taste good, and
the digestion hi poor; the skin
is dry and sallow and disfigured
with pimples or eruptions;
sleep brings no rest and work

That is the cause of all this?
Impure blood.
And the remedy?

It is the easiest thing in the world to
get people accustomed to and indiffer
ent to large public expenditures. Only
a few years ago the appropriation of a
billion dollars by a republican Congress
aroused the public opinion of the coun
try, and elected a democratic President
and Congress. Since then, about every
Congress has been a billion-dollar Con
gress, and the present Congress, which
has already appropriated almost a bil
lion dollars, will by the end of the
coming short session, have reached the
two billion mark. It is true that a
considerable portion of this money is
chargeable to the war, but outside of
the war, the public expenditures are en
tirely too extravagant, and might be
largely curtailed without lessening the
efficiency ot the government.
Mr. McKinley has shown his adroit
ness as a politician by deciding not to
recommend any legislation at the com
ing session of Congress for Porto Rico
or the Philippines, and to keep the is
lands under military rule for a while.
He knows that the question of legisla
tion for the islands will be a trouble
some one and prefers that it shall not
be taken up until his party ha6 a major
ity in both branches of Congress.
Assistant Secretary of War Meikle-
john wishes to be the Hanna-McKinley
candidate for the Senate, from Nebras
ka, and his friends say that lie thinks
he will be, the conditions being that he
shall promise to support the administra
tion in all things in the Senate,
and that be shall secure a solid
McKinley delegation from Nebraska to
the Republican Convention in 1900.
The same sort of pledge is being ex
acted as the price of administration
support of all the other candidates for
the Senate, in states where the legisla
tures to elect Senators are controlled
by the republicans. Mr. McKinley
seems reasonably certain of a renomina
tion, but Boss Hanna will take no
chances and will, if in his power,clinch
the thing Ion? before the convention is
held. It is to carry out this clinching
programme that the Republican Na
tional Committee is to open head
quarters in Washington, at once, and
keep them open until after the Presi
dential election. It is also a part of
this scheme to exhibit the strength of
the administration machine to Czar
Reed, as a warning.
It is announced that the Canadian
American Commission, now sitting in
Washington, has made great progress
but the announcers take good care to

to the customer one chanoc to draw the watch.
For further particulars call on
Dixon Williams, Jeweler,
statement that the agreements reached
by the Commission have been only upon
minor matters, and that the important
questions are still up in the air. It is
further stated that none of the agree
ments reached are to be binding unless
agreements are reached upon every
thing, which indicates that the “great
progress” is largely imaginary.
The republican U. S. District At
torney, for South Carolina, spent two
entire days consulting with the ad
ministration, upon wbat should be
done by the Attorney General, if any
thing, about the race troubles in that
state. The District Attorney was not
enthusastic over the piobable success
of the plan of trying to get indictments
against white men for participating In
riots, from a Federal Grand Jury,
which has been adopted by the admin
istration, but he will have to try it on
if the administration insists; he wishes
to continue drawing his salary. Tol
bert, the Assistant Post Master, who
was driven away from McCormick, has
decided to remain in Washington and
try to catch a government job on- tbe
strength of his “martyrdom.”
It has been definitely settled that
Mr. McKinley will in his annual mes
sage to Congress, recommend that the
regular army be increased to 100,000
men, and that be will indorse the re
commendation of Secretary Long that
three battleships and twelve cruisers
be built, and twenty thousand men and
two thousand five hundred boys be en
listed in the Navy.

What is the assertion ol mind, but
that innate desire for freedom ot com
petition, individual effort, individual
merit and self-reliance? That is the
assertion of mind, for each and every
one to depend upon himself in the
free exercise of his individual opinions,
thought and action. Self-reliance and
self-confidence are the two great mo
tive powers in man to excite to exertion,
for without either, life is altogether or
half a failure. The assertion of mind
is the declaration: I ran stand alone,
I do not doubt myself, I am in need
of no assistance or advice as to the
matter in hand or under consideration.
I know how to do it, and my mental
resources are all sufficient. I need no
advice.
THE MIND.
It is mind jn ban that is everything.
Not station, wealth or position; for
that implies many times, that such
places can be bought and have been
bought. The worship of the “Almighty
Dollar” in this our day, buys its way
to honors and respectability. The
question is not asked how the money
was made, but that he or she had it,
and that is enoifgh. It is the mind
which lives, which is felt, the influence
which goes out from one possessed with
a positive intellect. The length of life
ought to be measured by the number
and importance of our ideas, the
thoughts given to the world, and not
the number of our days or years. A
man man may live 10, 20 or 30 years
in thought, and have lived longer and
better than one who can count their
years by three score or four score years
and ten. What they may have done or
did to bless the world in thought, could
he compressed into a half dozen year*
or less.
THF. MONEY VALUE
of a man is only while he lives; for
that is the beginning and end of his
existence. In his grave he is totally
dead to the world, and if perchance, a
fine monument marks his last resting
place, his epitaph could be written
with truth: “He was a successful
money-maker and died leaving a large
estate.” But if he did one noble deed,
lived to bless others, left some good
thought to the world, his life was not a
failure. But dying, wrapped up in in
dividual selfishness, his loss to the
world is naught.

wherever you may find it, for good
ness lives alter death. Honor genius
and talent wherever found, if not asso
ciated with vice and immorality, for
vice is the filth which will make genius
or talent disgusting. Far better be
ordinary with virtue, than a genius, a
slave to vice or depravity.
We do pity the fallen genius, be
cause we see a great mind prostituted
to low desires, when if that mind had
been attuned to a noble divinity of
thought to help,and to elevate mankind,
his grave would be like Mecca to the
Mahommedan, a sacred and hallowed
spot. As Shakspeare says: “’Tig the
mind that makes the body rich.” And
they who write to instruct others is at
the same time feeding his own mind
and body.
Put the same value upon mind that
we do on money, and there will be a
digging down into the brain to bring to
light what may be hidden there, for
then it will have a market value. Men
do not cheerfully cultivate that for
which there is no market. Isaac Watts
who was small ot statue, being joked
about his size, said to those who had
more brawn than brain:
“Were I so tall to reach the pole,
Or grasp the ocean with my span,
I must be measured by my soul.
The mind’s the standard of the man.
"When coldness wraps this suffering clay.
Oh, whither strays the Immortal mind?
It cannot die. It cannot stay,
But loaves Its darken’d dust behind

In the five years there has been an
increase of 48,279.

school commissioner’s returns from the
census that is taken every five years.
The number of white children of
school age 330,689, an increase of
21,549. The number of colored chil
dren is 316,560, an increase of 26,626.

THE MIND VALUE
of a man is Lis immortality here and
hereafter. As Bryron puts it:
“But words are things, and a small drop
of ink.
Falling, like dew.uDon a thought.produces
That which makm thousands, perhaps
millions, think."
A man lives not by days or years in
thought tor thought knows nothing
about the number of a man’s years, for
it is the thought that lives long after
the thinker has been gathered to his
fathers. And his tomb stone though
simple and modest, his epitaph could
be written: “He lived to make others
think—He still lives.”
Never therefore value, or esteem, or
pay honor to men merely on account of
their riches or their station. To ac
quire wealth needs but two well de
veloped organs of the brain: Large
acquisitiveness and close calculation,
and the smaller his contentiousness
tbe more successful he may be, for a
dime to him always has the value of
a dollar.
