The promise of the HMuhllcan platform ta that an at tempt will be made to obtain an Inter national agreement. We trust Trent Uii McKlnley will abandon the Ideas or another monetary conference, but make the subject one of direct nego- tiatton through diplomatic channel. Our ambassadors and ministers at the capitals of the European commercial nations are the proper persona to make representations directly to those gov ernments, and obtain a direct and au thorite tlve answer to the question whether they will enter Into an Inter national agreement regarding sliver. If the anawer i afllrmatlve, the details can then be arranged. If they' refuse. that ends the pmjeot. An International agreement must have the consent of the parties Interested.

LABOR There is a suggestion for our salmon packer packer In the experiment now being tried by the Illinois Central Rail way, one of the greatest existing cor poration In the amount and value of its property holdings, a well as the aumber of men it employ. For three years this company has been Introduc ing the system of making Its employes stockholder of the road. The plan has MARVELOUS RESULTS From a letter written by Rev. J. Our derman. Dtmondale. Mich., we are per mitted to make this extract: "i have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the results wera al most marvelous In th case of my wife. While I was pastor of th Baptist church at Rivee Junction .she was brought down with Pneumonia succeed ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little Interruption, and It seemed as If shv could not survive them.

The com pany stands ready to make an arrange ment with any employe wherby he can buy share of the railway's stock, either for cash or on the installment plan. Under the latter he may make deposit of 55 or more at a time until he has paid for the stock; and while the money Is accumulating he is allowed four per cent interest on his deposit. At this time "00 employes are paying in Installments for their stuck, while 13$ others have paid for and now own K7 shares. While the plan Is still an . experiment, it workings so far go to show that it Is probably a success. The men who thus are Investing their sav ings in stock no longer look upon the company aa their natural enemy a de plorable attitude which Is too often that of employes toward employers. Feeling that they hold an Interest in the road Itself, and that its prosperity means bigger dividends to them, they are nat arally more careful and painstaking, and use all efforts In their power to enlarge its business. Should a strike occur, they are interest 1 In preserving the road's property from wanton dam age. Having votes at the annual meet ings, they are brought closer to the management of the road, and In a posi tion to know its actual condition. They Tiew all questions, not only from the standpoint of employes, but from that f the management of the road Itself. This closer association of Interests will remove the groundless prejudices and suspicions which are such a fruitful cause of labor difficulties. ...... ..... . r. v. wiiavunu iiniiej out of the nay will have time to give them attention.

Beaver Hill . Gilman Coal When we hear that there Is talk of reorganising the silver party without silver we will begin to think that there is some hope left for It. Chicago Post. The announcement that the great Russian railway from St . Petersburg to the Pacific, across Siberia, is now ppen as far east aa the town of Ko livan, about l.SOO miles from St. Peters burg, awakens new Interest in this Im portant enterprise. It effects will go far beyond the transportation of pas sengers and freight through the domin ions of the Czar. Our own wheat far mers are deeply interested, because It will open up a vast area as well suited to wheat-growing as our own North west; nd Its completion mean that Siberia will be added to the countries competing In the markets of Western Euroj to find a market for their grain. There are plenty of American fanners who can recall the time when only the Unlt'-d States and Southern Russia competed for that market. They have seen Arc-entine. C'anad?.. South Africa, New Zealand, Austra'iaand India enter the lists, and noted the fall in price, be cause of the Increased supply. The ad dition of Siberia means a still sharper competition w ithin a few years. B-sides this, the mineral resources of this vast region now opening up are immense, and millions of acres of fine timbi-r will be available for the world's supply. Gold fields may be developed to an un suspected extent, and various other minerals will, beyond iiuestlon, add very largely to the world's store of val uable products. A glance at the map suggests the vast possibilities of the opening of this tract to civilization. It is blsger than all Europe, and much of the region through which the new rail way passes Is fertile soil. BUCKLE N'S ARNICA SALVE. The best salve In the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers. salt rheum, fever sores, tetter, chapped hands, chilblains, corns, and all skin eruptions, and pos itive cure for piles, or no pay required. It is guaranteed to give perfect satis faction, or money refunded. Price, 25 cents per box. For sale by Charles Rogers, Odd Fellows' building. It Is earnestly hoped that this con gress will not follow the example of its predecessors by deciding to take a certain path of action and then heap ing up impediments all along the line of march. A dose that is always seasonable 1 a doe of Simmons Liver Regulator, the "King of Liver Medicines." It keeps the liver active; the bowels regular; prevents biliousness; and promotes di gestion.

The silver craze has reached its log ical conclusion. The original Bryan man is in an insane asylum, suffering from too much politics on the brain. Baltimore American. The old way of delivering messages y postboys compared with the modern telephone. Illustrates the old tedious methods of "breaking" colds compared with their almost instantaneous cure by One Minute Cough Cure. Chas. Rog-res. Senator Chandler is not going about his bimetallic campaign in a way to please Senator Peffer, who, however, thinks Senator Chandler's plan for an international monetary commission may at lea-st be useful In furnishing the PopuIlst3 in congress with an opportu nity to "discuss the money question generally." That is exactly what the country does not want. It has heard too much of their silly thorles already. Talking in congress on the exploded silver issue Is merely a waste of valua ble time, and a weariness to the flesh. Nor Is there any need of another mone tary commission. We have had sever al, and they were spent In exploiting the ideas of theorists. What we want Mr. Piatt declares that he would grow lonesome If certain politicians refrained from bothering him. It looks as If there were a very merry, sociable time ah'ad for Mr. Piatt Washington Star. DeWitt's Sarsaparllla is prepared for cleansing the blood.

Cleveland, by his enlargement of the civil service, seems to have run a tro cha between hungry republicans and the pie counter. Chicago Dispatch. Absolutely pure, perfectly harmless, and Invariably reliable are the quali ties of One Minute Cough Cure. It nev er falls In colds, croup and lung trou bles. Children like It because it Is pleasant to take and it helps them. Chas. Rogers. The chances are that the battleship Texas will continue to be a subject to those sudden sinking spells. Wash ington Post. Scaly eruptions on the head, chapped hands and lips, cuts, bruises, scalds. burns are quickly cured by DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. It is at present the article most used for piles, and It always cures them. Chas. Rogers. It Is worth while repeating every day that In all preparations for holiday Joys there should be some remembrance of the claims of charity. To cure all old sores, to heal an Indo lent ulcer, or to speedily cure piles, you need simply apply DeWitt's Witch Ha zel Salve according to directions. Its magic-like action will surprise you. Chas. Rogers. The P.ryan democrats smiled when they met Senator Palmer at the capltol, but In every smile there was the cold gleam of a frosty morning. The old lady was right when she said the child might die If they waited for the doctor. She saved the little one's life with a few doses of One Min ute Cough Cure. She had used It for croup before. Chas. Rogers. Cleveland says the time for Inter ference in Cuba may come. Olney says It Is near at hand. Now what will con gress say? It is a fixed and immutable law that to have good sound health, one must have pure, rich and abundant blood. There is no shorter nor surer route than by a course of DeWitt's Sarsapa rllla. Chas. Rogers. ' The Canadians are asking of their government more protection for their industries and will probably get ft. A low tariff suits them no better than the asco tariff suits us.

In Medieval Days When people wanted anything thry knelt down and prayed for It How ever, that was some time ago. Along about 1J0 a fellow named Outen berg, who had "come de Rhine over. wa monaeying around a carpenter shop in Lents. II whit tled some little blocks and actually made an alphabet Than he ringed a sort of well, a machine that would look something like our let ter pivs of today. He arranged his block In order, put aomt Ink on ti.em, alo a piece of paper, and then screwed hi pre down. That was called printing. Old Gutenberg made a howling success of th racket and his head became so swollen that he really snubbed th king one day. The king overlooked It however, for he had an Idra what kind of fellows printers would be. Well, finally they got th print ing system down pat and, as th centuries rolled by, began printing newspapers firat person, invariably singular number, any gender and hard case. In This Enlightened Day There are many newspiipers aa a matter of fact. But It is an utter impoaalblliiv to get a newspaper to admit It The advertising patronage of a newspaper depend largely ve, wholly upon It circulation. A newspaper Is a great deal like the human body; If Its circulation Is good, It prosper: otherwise, otherwise. Some papers publish Want Columns That is, a column, or a number of columns, devoted to small advertise ments. If a fellow wants anything trouble, a wife, a house don't make any difference what It 1 he can get It by means of a small ad. Included in the "War.'" column are "For Bale," "For Kent" "ix)t" "Found," "Stolen" and "Mlcel laneou.'' Now, Jut Bee what chumps some people are! Why, a man has been known to hunt over a city this city for days looking for a house in which to live. Had all things, look pleasant Tell the clerk that you want a want ad. In the want column, give him your 26 cents anu go away happy. As Her man Wise would aay, a wunt ad. will restore the blind, the bald and the bowlegged to manhood.
