SPECULATION MANIA A Word of Caution Against Get-Rich-Quick Plans. BEWARE OP REAL ESTATE B00M8 Hemeniber That Speculative Sellers Generally Kaon More Than Specu lative Borers The Price of Farm prod acta Not Governed by Monetary Inflation Need of Tariff Reform. It Is perhaps a thankless task to ad vise those who have been seized with the mania for speculation, but it Is the duty of honest Journalism to be the watchman on the tower to warn the people of the approach of political foes and false political economy. There la a spirit of political and economic unrest abroad In the land, and wisdom would dictate cautiou In dealing with political speculations as much as or more than In dealing lu the stock market, mining shares or real estate. The first thing to remember Is that but few specula tors In politics or business gambling are successful. Wise conservatism Is generally the winner in the long run. Regarding speculation, Chicago and New York have been built up on the money that Is constantly sent to those cities, either directly or through the agents of Wall street and the specula tive markets all over the land, with but smuH returns to those who send It When some one makes a winning the favorable result Is heralded every where, twit we never liear publicly of the great army of losers. The latest phase of the gambling era is real es tate speculation, which Is rampant In the cities, and town lots are being sold, miles from the business centers, at prices that will require years to make reasonable. In the meantime taxes must be paid, and unless the property Is for 'home building the result in most cases will be that lu n few years the advance la value. If any, will not cover the taxes paid. The man whe frtrys a home on the Installment plan can af ford to -pay innre than It Is lntrlnslcol ly worth. lwause It is the only way he can own his own home, and-lie has the use of 'It and with good management and economy will lu time get it paid for, and there Is no Intention In giving this a&viee of retarding such a 'natural and sensllite longing as owning a home. The price of farming laud In the western states .has in -some sections reached a prohibitive llgure, for It must lie remembered that a farm Is worth wbat It will prodnce at a profit enough to ,pay Interest m 'the Invest ment oiid a fair return for the work expended. During this era of specula tion the irice that farm ;laud will sell for may exceed Its valne ns a business Investment, but lu the long run the price of farms must come down to what they -will pay on the ilnvestment The speculators In cotton, wheat, rail road and Industrial stocks and mining stocks nrnst remember that those who Bell probably know more about the actual value than those who buy, and unless full Information uf earnings and management is procurable if he buyer Is buying In the dark. There -is no doubt that the enormous inflallon of the circulating medium, through the .constantly Increasing out put of gold. Is resulting 4u an advance In values, measured in gold, the world over, but tliiB Increase In prices docs not apply to cotton, wheat, corn and many other farm product.', the price or which Is governed by supply and de mand, depending upon the favorable . or unfavorable seasons for growing and gathering the crops. The present low price of wheat, cotton and corn, measured by the advancing price of other commodities. Is a proof that the law of supply and demand Is more po tent than the other law of the putntity of money Inflating prices. The present tariff policy of protect ing our manufacturing trusts and com bines from foreign competition has been a great factor In Increasing the price of the products of those corpora tions, so that consumers, whether on the farm or in the city, ore not only paying the natural increase of prices from gold Inflation, but the greater In flation of prices by the unnatural con ditions created by the tariff protection to the industrial corporations called trusts. The tariff and trust issue, be ing entirely political, can lie made to assist rather than to retard the natural growth of the country if the voters will Investigate and Insist on reform that will benefit tliein Instead of continuing the present system that plunders them for tle lieneiit of the corporations. Fulr I'luy th Remedy. Forcing pence between the Cuban factions by threatening them with a largo fleet of warships will not lead to permanent peace. What is needed is fair play between (he factions instead of backing up the corrupt Palma ad ministration, which was first Installed by the aid of Ceueral Wood and Amer ican troops. The I.l'ontls ml?ht not give Cuba an Ideal government, but as they evidently have a majority of the people of Cuba behind them they 6hould be given a fair field and no fa vor. font of Llvlnic. Farm crops of nil kinds are plentiful and cheaper, but the Republican policy of protectionism makes it .Inst as diffi cult a ever for the housekeeper to keep the cost of living within reasona ble bounds.

CURE FOR MALARIA. The Treatment Used by Dr. W. (ill! Uy lie, the V'amuus Physician. Dr. W.

The men working in the swamps occa sionally contract malaria Lr- Wylie has given the work men a prescription for malaria which he has had printed on pla cards and posted around the grounds. It as follows: Directions for Treating Chronic Ma laria. "Take four 1-10 grs. of calomel after dinner, and the next morning a saline laxative, a seidita powder or m.ueral water, sufficient to give one free movement of the bowels a day. After each meal take three of the 3 gr. capsules, or two of the 5 gr. capsules of quinine with the juke of a half a lemon in a half glass of water, so as to insure its absorption, making 27 to 30 gre. in a day. In large, strong people the amount of the quinine can be increased to 40 grs. a day instead of 30 grs. Keep this calomel arid qniuiue up for four consecutive days in the above quantities. If dur ing the four days the quinine mukes your head buzz or disturbs you ex cessively, take 20 grs. of bromide of of potash in half a (glass of water in the the afternoon o evening. "After taking 27 or 30 grs. a day for four 'days, then take 3 sre., three times a diy, or one capsule alter each meal tor tour days longer. "After this a tonic pill which has arsenic aud iron in it may be takeo. ttnee times a dy for several weeks it indicated. "Then if at anv time after this you have the paius in the back of your neck and exhausted feeliws, and more or lss deprebsion or dis turbed digestion, have your blood examined wnd report to me for fur ther treatment which will be indi cated; it would be peifect'y sife if tbe same general symptoms return to lepeat he above treatmeut in two or three months or more, especially if voh lire in a malarial district where there are mosquitoes. "Bv using Merk'a bi-sulphate of quinine, o grains dissolved in a tea' spoonful of sterile water -an inter- jcton -can be made with a sterile sHass syringe, giving two injections of 5 grains each instead of one of the 9 grains doses by mouth, in extreme cases two of these 10 gr. doees may be given by hypodeimic instead or by mouth, more ettec tively.

Napoleon would have won the battle of Waterloo had Cruticuy prevented the junction of the Prussians with the English ai-iny, because he would not have had to f'.ght two battles at once. Few persons re.ili.e that the so culled battle of Vi'aU'r'.oo was In reality a louble battle, somewhat like Jena and Auerstadt. Napoleon fought one bat tle at Waterloo against the English. On the arrival of the Prussians he was forced to g-j in person toward rianche- nolt and there tight another battle I gainst the Prussian army, leaving to Ney the conduct of the troops at Wa terloo. It Is a well known maxim in war that a very great or decisive vic tory cannot be gained unless one com mander makes a serious blunder of which the other takes Immediate ad vantage. It Is very evident that the fact of the emperor having to fight two battles at once Instead of concen trating his attention on one alone enor mously Increased the possibility, of a mistake. Moreover, Napoleon did not have the able lieutenants of his former campaigns.' besulx, Kleber, Lannes and Iiessleres were dead, Massena and Mncdonald had taken the oath of alle giance to the Bourbons, and Murat bad split with the emperor. Napoleon's personal attention was therefore Im perative. To Grouchy alone all blame must be attributed, for had he prevent ed the union of the Prussians with the English the emperor would have had to fight only one battle at a time and could have given his entire personal attention to that one buttle. In the second place, Napoleon would r.pt have been forced to light with 71, 047 men against two armies numbering about 125,(11)0 nearly two to oue against him. lie would have had 71,' 047 good soldiers pitted against a raw, Undisciplined army of C7,(Mil men un der the Duke of Wellington, which was not only Inferior in mere numbers, but far Inferior In morale and experience. The chances would have been greatly In favor of the l-'rench. Then, too, the Trench army was commanded by tbe acknowledged muster of modern war fare, whose brilliant successes at IU voll, Marengo, Austerllrz, Jena, Fried land, Wagram, tin? Borodino and Dres den had dazzled the whole world. Un til then Napoleon bud never been de feated In any great decisive battle ex cept s Leipsic, and tbe French were strong In their tconfidence of the em peror's success. Two of the best writ ers on the Waterloo campaign, Shaw Kennedy and Slbourne, both English men, concur in saying that had Grouchy kept tbe Prussians away the English army would bave been badly beaten, This view Is also held by the ablest writer of aTl, Mr. Ropes. United Serv ice Review. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. A man should have sense and wo man taste. Tie smartest bass finally runs across a Unit that fools him. Every man thinks he could trot some pace if bo wasn't hobbled. Feople are compelled to smother resentments at least a dozen times a day. A man who has a falling out with more than two of his neighlurs ought to look himself over. A clever mimic would be good com pany were it not for the feeling that he Is also a clever mimic behind your back. When a man catches a big string of fish, how he love.-i to cany it along the main street of the town In which he lives! All of us like to display our big catches in other lines. Atchison Globe. Wntcli Records. "That man's watch holds the record for his town," a jeweler said. "It has run for twenty-two years without stop ping. Aside from a little regulating, oiling and cleaning, it has never need ed a repair. 1 know lots of men who try to establish records for their watches. I know live men in this" little town whom watches have run day .and night for ten years. Give a good watch to a man and lie takes a pride In it, lie never forgets to wind It. Soon he is trying to make a record for It. The record for continuous running Is held, I believe, by a Swiss watch lu Geneva that has run for twenty-eight years. Money and Mnrblea. Once there was a man who thought Russell Sago ought la stop work. He spoke to him about it. "Why get to gether any more money, Mr. Sage? You can't eat It: you can't drink It. What good will It do youV "Ever play marbles''' Uncle Uussell asked. "Ye.!, when I was a boy." "Couldn't cat 'em, could you? Couldn't drink 'em, could you? No use to you, were they?

"A three legged rat?" we ask, smil iug. "No. It was a chicken that h:id fur Instead of feathers." "Fur?" "Yes. It was hatched from a cold storage egg." UrV. Virtue' Itewnrd. Where Is the reward of virtue and what recompense lias nature provided for such Important sacrifices as those of life and fortune, which we must of ten make to It? Oh, sons of earth, are ye Ignorant of the value of this celcs tiul mistress? And do ye meanly In quire for her portion when ye observe her genuine beamy? Hume. Illackburn and Butler. Greensboro Record. The result of the election in this State shows that the honest voters caiv about as little for Blackburn as for Butler. Take the case in tnis county where the Blackburn element was in supreme control, and the Demociatic gain is pronounced; tike the State ac large whfie Butler was Loss, where his word was law, and the Demucr tic gain was like wise large. And in an off year too: 1 he resu'ts tell the story of tbe two men, for Blackburn has besu sent to the happy hu ting grounds u his own distiic", while Butler has utterly and signally failed to do uythmg except, sink his party deeper than ever in the filth and mire. The best treatment for indigestion and troubles of the stomach is to rest the stomach. It can be rested by starvation or by the use of a good digestant which will digest the food eaten, thus taking the work off the stomach. At the proper tempera ture, a single teaspoonful of Kodol will wholly digest 3,000 grains of food. It relievts the present an noyance, puts tie stomach in shape to 'satisfactorily perform its func tions.
