Kx-Presldent HarrlBon, always felici tous In expression, never more aptly put In words the sentiments of the peo plo than he did In his assertion before the Union League club, of San Fran elsco, Unit "the present distress Is un American, and the authors of It shoulu be repudiated by the people." The ex president justly spurns the notion that the prevailing depression and suffering are the result of chance. He flxci the lesponslbllltiy for existing condition; Just as the people who have expressed themselves at the ballot box all ovei the north have fixed It upon the Demo cratic party now threatening to destroy till that makes general distress impos sible. "Distress Is un-Amorican," but li Is an un-American party that domln ntes the country. Happily, Its tenure of power Is short. THE NICARAGUA CANAL. The San Francisco Chronicle says on this Important subject: Senator Morgan's report on the Nic aragua, canal will be a forcible argu ment In favor of the United States tak ing hold of the enterprise and lending It such material aid as will Insure Its success. He says: "If action by con KWhb be delayed unreasonably long, the company will be compelled to either ubamlon the concessions and lose the money It has already Invested in the cuiial, or accept tho offers by foreign capitalists. If either of these reBulte follow from the Inaction of congress, the people ranrot blame the canal com I Htiy for yielding to & fate that It could linv avoided had congress taken tip the subject of the construction of the canal through the aid of the United States." This is a conclusion from which there la no escape. Successive presidents have recommended the indorsement and aid cf the; Nicaragua canal by the govern- ment. suocvsalv national convention, have urgi It as beneficial to the na- yet congress does nothing about It. That body can squabble and bushwhack and filibuster over matters of minor Importance, but a great na tional undertaking Ilk the Nicaragua can.il cannot attract Its attention. &vu.tAr in iviicluuiiis liU re port, points out that tho plain and cer- tain effects of the bill, If It becomes a law, will be to put Into active business employment $100,000,000 of money bor rowed from our own people without risk to the government, and to furnish onv ployment to 50,000 Americans who are now marching on the highways begging for work, and often for food. It would yield to the United States at the rate of $1 per ton for canal charges not less than $4,00,000 per annum in dividends on Its $70,000,000 of stock In the caiiaL Besides these advantages a movement of this kind would stir American Indus tries Into activity and release hundreds of millions of dollars that are now locked up or employed in various kinds of risky speculation. There Is no Indus try In the United States that would not feel the Impetus, no class of labor that would not be benefited. It Is the one thing needed to set the wheels of manu factures and commerce revolving, to re store confidence In the future of the country and to bring things back to their normal condition. The passage of the Nicaragua, canal bill, and a Repub lican victory at the congressional elec tions In November, will make tho United States again the happiest and best- contonted country in the world. Queer how these things work. "Pro' tcctlon" was declared by the Democrat ic demagogues to be "robbery," and enough worklngmen were found to ef fect a change In the Industrial policy of the country, when reinforced by cer tain unholy influences. Now the Infor mation comes from Paterson, N. J. that a strlko of the employes of the Barbour Flajc Spinning Company has Just been averted by the promise of Senator James Smtlh, Jr., that if the Barbours would promise the men rea sonable wages, the interests of the flax Industry would be looked after in the United States senate. Thereupon the employers agreed to restore the 10 per cent reduction of wages, and the men agreed to return to work. Senator Smith, It is stated, took up the matter without solicitation from either side. So It apoears that the flax spinners are willing to be "robbed" In this way a little longer, The worklngmen seem to be getting their eyes open. It Is said the managers of the Inter-, state fair to be held at Tacoma, Wash., are.correspondlng with Queen Lllluoka lani, with the view of securing her presence at the fair. They should also Invite Miss Pollard and Mrs. Lease, and thUB complete the trio of America's most famous women. Dld any one ever hear It said against the McKlnley tariff that It was sec tlonal? That Is one of the chief objec tions against the Wilson bill, and of Itself is a sufficient reason why It should never become the law of this country, A Boston journal says: "The papers iv ppinding! columns to show how Col Breckenrldge Is ruined." That ground was covered In a much shorter space many years ago, when It was suld: "The wages of sin Is death." An eastern paper gallantly says Woman may be tho weaker vessel, but the ship of state would soon founder without that weaker vessel as a con voy. Under Harrison's administration the public debt was reduced $303,000,000. Under Cleveland the debt has been al ready Increased by $30,000,000. THE BEST OF REASONS. The reason whv Allcock's Porous Plasters are popular is that they may be relied on to cure: 1. Lame back, sciatica, stiffness or twitching of the muscles. 2. Chest troubles, such as pleurisy, pneumonia, consumption. a. indigestion, dyspepsia, biliousness, kidney complaint. The success, however, will depend up- n the genuineness of the Dlaster used. fhe popularity of Allcock's Porour flusters has been so trreat that multi tudes of Imitations have sprung up or rvery nana.

A Firm Hair Mattrean Rather Than a Feather tied I'rumotet It. There is an old story of an Indian and a "paleface," who, after a long day's journey, lay. down in a deserted cabin at nightfall to rest. The Indian, wrapping himself in his blanket, stretched himself on the floor of the cabin-with his feet to the fire and was soon asleep. His com panion meantime has espied a feather bed in another room, nnd congratulat ing himself on his discovery jumped in and was also goon in a doze. With tho first rays of the morning light the Indian rose refreshed and ready for the day's task. He -went to arouse his coturado, when, lol he found him dead from the exhaustion of the previous day. Luxurious repose is never true phys ical resc. To enjoy that blessing to its fullest er teut freedom from restraint must be al lowed every part of the body. A firm surface is required one that will tend to keep the body stretched out at full length, that the lungs and heart may feel no sense of restriction by compres sion of the chest walls, nnd that the blood may hnvo uninterrupted course in every direction. We shonld never lie guilty of suppos ing that the ppr.ion whom we saw sit ting in n chair with his chin pressing on his sunken chest wna enjoying true phys ical rc6t, no matter how fast asleep he might appear to be. The tendency of the body to gravitate toward tlio luwest part of a feather tied is beyond remedy. In this portion tho whole body is of ten eo curled np Unit ho one part is free from constriction. Tho chest walls r.re coved in, and the whole body suffers from tho consequent hick of proper oxy genation of the blood und the restriction which is placed mum its general circula tion. Tho blood moves sluggishly, and as a result the condition of "fat and flabby" is snpcriniluced. .. - ' - This condition is never likely to follow the constant use of a firm hair mattress, for the blood has no chance to get drop sical from too sluggish iv circulation. Perfect physical repose, like perfect physical activity, is dependent npon s proper equilibrium of tho bodily func tions during si umber. The story of tho Indian and the white man might easily have been founded on fact. Youth's Companion. , liow to Know a Calton. Title pages were unknown till after 1401. There must be no Roman or Italic lettering, but all in Gothic or old Eng lish. There must be no commas, bnt an oblique stroke in their place. Further, there must be no catchwords at the bottom of the pago. The nse of these, long gone out of fashion, did not come into vogue till years after Caxton s death. There are other tests necessary, such as the measurement of the lines, for some of the type tiBed was imitated pret ty closely by Gaston's successors. It is clear, however, that during his career Caxton only used six kinds of type. The first, distinctly foreign in its character, was used by him at Bruges in the print ing of "The Reeuyell of the Histories of Troye" and in the first edition of "The Game and Plnye of the Chesse." This style was never used in England. The second Btyle, such as in "The Moral Proverbs" and "Tulle of Olde Age," printed iu 1477 and 1181 respectively, was beautiful and artistic. It follows a design of manuscript which obtained the name of Gros Batnrde, common in use in the fifteenth century. Several books were written iu this manner nnder the order of Edward IV and are now to be seen in the British museum. Looking at the dates when Caxton's books were issued and tho types he used, it is evidont ho did not make now type till the old was worn out, A pretentious style came next in 14S3, very bold in its character. It is problematical whether thoro is a hook in this tj-po; tho only ex amples .wo h:ive of it at present nre in headlines. Chambers' Journal. A Oulr B"or.v. The doctor of a hospital ship com plained to a visitor of a lazy colored man whom he could do nothing with. "We don't like to throw the rascal out, bnt it is easily seen he is only shamming." "Well, doctor," said tho visitor, after a little reflection, "lend me a few yards of string and that nigger will bo miles away beforo night." He got the twine, aud putting on a melancholy eir he went to the darky's berth. "Very bad?" ho said. - . -"Yes, mnssa," replied Sambo. "Dreb fnl Bick." The visitor mado no further remark, hut nlnced one end of the twine at his head and drew it slowly very slowly until it reached his toes. Then he meas ured him across the chest The fellow looked the picture of astonishment nnd terror nnd gasped: "Whatdisfor?" M v ixor fellow, the doctor knows yon are not goi::g to recover, and it is only an exnense keeping you here without any chance of doing you good.
