Per President WILLIAM HKIXLEY, OF Ohio. Por Vice-President THEODORE ROOSEVELT, Of New York. The railroad companies are in a tight box for lack of box cars. Mrs. Conner fays that horse nuat is good. We always thought It was on the horse. There can be no doubt but that the world is growing better. A Louisiana mob has relinquished Its pursuit of a negro without accomplishing Its law less purpose. The Germans evidently know where to find Insurance firms whose stabd ity is unquestioned. The mere rumors of approaching war with China make such a demand at the offices of the American companies that a new corps of clerks has been hired to make out the papers for German officers and men. New Tork's pride, the natty street cleaning brigade organized by Colonel Waring, Is to be reduced by prcsale Commissioner Nagle to the common level of the overy-day gang of street laborers. Thus one by cne the pet notions of reformers give way be fore the conservative Ideas of their successors. The unfortunate Democrats of Ari zona are unlike their great leader or they would be able to combine all brands of their Democracy In one rep resentative Instead of sending to con gress two, representing adverse party elements. It's a great thing to be able to believe in anything that is "agin the government," and if the Democrats of Arizona want to be respected as the true article they must toe the mark. THE ' SHANGHAIED" PRESS. New York Tribune. The orgy of mendacity in which a part of the' newspaper pre.s revelled during the siege of the legations in Pekln is not being passed over lightly by Great Britain, as though it were a trifling episode. It seem? to be felt on all hands that the interests of the newspaper business, or of the profes sion of Journalism, as you will, are ser iously concerned. Regarded as a moral force, the beneficence of newspapers has been compromised by such whole sale propa?atlon of evil. Regarded a. a learned profession, the accuracy and Judgment of Journalism have been dis credited. Regarded as nothing more than a business enterprise, the prosper ity of newspapers is menaced and ac utally Impaired by a performance which has deprived them of a large share of the public confidence. The result Is that even the :tiost impudent offenders have been publishing columns of apol ogy, explanation and labored attempts at self-exculpation, while the mure re sponsible Journals contain many austere preachments, sometimes of a hortatory and sometimes of a slightly Pharisaical tone. ' An Old Journalist," In the London Times, points out that the present scan dal radically differs from the one of a few years ago which created an al most equal sensation. On the former occasion It was proved in a court of law that "special telegrams" were largely manufactured In Fleet street by mm at " mm m a H tii I Ba renend befit. W es e -r lOtentikUcstl. P a news nv.iry whose enterprise ex ceeded Us honesty. Actual telegrams if ton word and not In code were expanded to one hundred or more by imaginative oflloe editors. In some cases . thrilling- descriptions ' of battles. a column long, were evolved from twenty or thir ty words of actual news. Such sophis ticated stuff was distributed to the pa pers as having been actually telegraph ed from foreign parts, and was accept rd and published by them In ood faith, and when the fraud was detected the papers were the readiest complain ants against the manufacturers of ftc lltlo'is news. In the present case. V.ow ever. the fa!se dispatch were at 'east actual Dispatch. They really were sent by cable from Shanghai to Lon don. To that extent, therefore, the edi tors of the papers In London were free from blame. They were Ju.tlfi.l In printing the news actually 'received 'run correspondents whom they deemed trustworthy-if they did ieem them trustworthy. Put. asks this "Old Journalist," what about the senders of the dispatches? What are we to think of a correspon dent who telegraphs to his editor. "I learn that." etc.. a mass of details that could be furnished by only an actunl eye-witness, and who at the same time has no assurance thav his Informant was an eye-witness, but. on the con trary, has ample reason to believe that his "Intllignre" Is not only second handed, but fifth hand or tenth hand, having oeen passed along through a series if Orl.'ntals characteristically noted for Imagination and Invention rather than for truthfulness? To say that he was lacking in discrimination and Judgment Is to state the case mild ly. And yet he Is not altogether to be blamed, any more than his employer Is altogether to be freed from blame. The correspondent was trained In the home office. He received his Instructions and his inspiration from his editor. And In telegraphing his precious mass of lies he was aiming to follow his in structions and to please his chief. So the principal blame Is after all brought straight home to headquarters. The real evil Is. as this "Old Jour nalist" Justly says, the mania for sen sations, the craving for something that will prove exciting, wake staring head lines and set people to talking and buying the paper without regard, or with only minor regard, to whether it be true or false. The Idea seems to be to tell enough tales, and some of them will probably be true: but If not, at any rate tell tales. For It la better to get off ahead of your rival In telling lie than to have him get ahead of you In telling the truth. The fallacy and foolishness, as well as the wick edness. of such a rule should be ob vious to all. Certainly the effects are. For It Is literally true that In respect to a certain part of the press the fact that a paper says a thing Is so has come to be deemed prima facie cause for doubting it. The end of such a state of affairs is as inevitable as the pr 'cession of the equinoxes. People will get tired of the daily guess as to how much truth there is in their pa pers, and then they will quit buying such papers. You cannot fool all the people all the time. True, you may be able to fool some of the people all the time, but not enough of them to give a paper the largest circulation in the world. HOW ERIGHT'S DISEASE STARTS. Indigestion, biliousness, blood poisoned with urea and uric acid (which suould nave been excreted by the kidneys), rheumatic pains in nerves and Joints, causing irritation of the kidneys, then pains over the small of the back, mark sur approach of Bright' dU-vife. Do not delay taking Foley's Kidney Cure, for It makes the kidneys right. Take no substitute. CJIArf. ROGERS, Drug gist. Beggars and peddlers are not super stitious. It takes more than a aim to keep them out of a building. HALF THE WORLD IN DARKNESS as to the cause of their ill health. If they would start to treat their kl'lneys with Foley's Kidney Cure, the weariness of body and mind, back ache, headache and rheumatic pains wuuM disappear. CHAS. ROGERS, Do resist. One of the most Inconsistent things in this world is a keep-off-the-grass sign in the middle of a snow drift. NO RELIEF FOR 20 TEARS. "I had bronchitis for twenty years." said Mrs. Minerva Smith, of Danville, III., "and at times have been bedfast. I never got relief until I had taken Foley's Honey and Tar. It is pleasant and gives quick relief, and is a sure cure for throat and lung disease." Take nothing else. CHAS. ROGERS. Druggist. J. A. Fastabend, General Contractor and Guilder 'WHAT'S THE TIME?" A boiklct with this title. Just pub llshed by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, should not only be In the hands of every traveler, but should have a place on the desk of every banker.' merchant or other busi ness man. The four "Time Standards" which govern our entire time system and w hich are more or less familiar to most of the traveling public, but by many others little understood, are so fully explained and Illustrated by a series of charts, diagrams and tables that any one who choose can become convers ant with the subject In question. There are also some twenty-four tables by which almost at a glance, the time at any place can be ascertained In all the principal cities of the world. A copy of this pamphlet may be had on application to George II. I oaf ford. General Passenger Agent. Chicago, enclosing two-cent stamp to pay pos tage. C. J. EDDY. General Agent. All things come to him who waits: but there are so many things that are not really worth waiting for. 'I had a running sore on ny leg for seven years." writes Mrs. Jaa. Forest, cf Cheppewa Falls. Wis., "and spent hundreds of dollars in trying to get it healed. Two boxes of Banner Salve entirely cured It." CHAS. ROGERS. Druggist. A good many consumptives would be cured and the worst cases comforted and relieved by using Foley's Honey ana iar. suggest It to those am ct. ed. You should do this as a friend, CHAS. ROGERS. Druggist, The pen hasn't much to brag of. even If It Is mightier than the sword. It isn't a marker to the blue Pencil. T'lcers, open or obstinate sores, scalds and piles, quickly cured by Banner alve. the most healing medicine In the world. CHAS. ROGERS. Druggist The people who talk without think- Ing. and those who think without talk ing, always make each other tired. Allen Halverson of West Prairie. Wis., says: "People come ten mllea to buy Foley's Kidney Cure." w hile J. A. Spe ro. of Helmer. Rid., says: "It Is the medical wonder of the age." CHAS. ROGERS. Druggist.
