Misleading Poll of Democratic Con gressmen?Oklahoma and the Inte rior Department?The Factional Fight In Ohio ? Republican Attack on Rights of Labor. By WILLIS J. ABBOT. One day recently I culled from Re publican newspapers, which for more than ten years have been preaching the great increase In the prosperity of tin country, due to successive Republican administrations, these headlines: "Coxey Army In Cincinnati. Calls on the Mayor to Ask For Aid and Work." "One Hundred and Thirty-eight Thou sand Nine Hundred and Fifty Idle In Chicago. Business Depression Blamed For 88,950 Persons Out of Work." "Coxey Army In St. Louis. Eight Hundred Men March to the City Haii and Ask Mayor For Work." These assertions could be paralleled in almost every American city. The most forceful one?the second?comes from the Chicago Inter Ocean, which throughout its entire existence has been the leading advocate of the high est type of protection in the middle west It goes on to add to its figures of Idle workiugmcn the statement that the normal number of men out of em ployment at this season in that city is 50,000, so that the number this year is almost treble the usual one. But the tariff is in no immediate danger. Prac tically every Republican is Insisting that it must not be touched until after the presidential election, and the sus picion Is rife that It will not be touched then unless to increase it. If the Dem ocratic party wins, it can do bub little, for the senote must for some time to come remain overwhelmingly Republic an. The hard times in the country, which are not yet passed, amount to the complete breakdowu of Republican policies and particularly to a repudia tion of the present administration. When 2,000 men in St. Louis march ed through the mud and snow to the mayor's office to beg for employment It was reminiscent of the darkest days of 1893. The demonstration gave a peculiar significance to the statement made by Senator Gore of Oklahoma before a crowded audience in Cooper Union, New York, a few weeks ago that when during Cleveland's admin istration sixty-five national banks clos ed their doors the newspapers called it a panic. This year, said he, they clos ed by hundreds in every section of the country, and the papers politely refer red to the interim as a holiday. His allusion may necessitate some slight explanation to some of my readers. In several of the western and southern states at the very outbreak of the financial stringency the governors In order to save the banks declared legal holidays ranging from three to ten days in duration, during which period no money was obtainable. Tho Blind Orator of the Senate. By the way, Senator Gore Is likely to make a hit on the platform, though in the senate the precedent that a sen ator shall not be heard during his first term may hamper him. This precedent has been badly warped during this session, but is clung to rather tena ciously by a number of the statesmen of that dignified chamber. Gore has an interesting personality. The" fact of his blrndnes from boyhood is of course familiar to newspaper readers through out the country. That he has fitted himself for such high official position indicates a strong will and a mind well disciplined. Students know that the loss of one faculty is very apt to de velop and sharpen the others. With Senator Gore it has developed hit memory to an amazing exttnt. His wife, who Is his chief helper and guide about the capitol, or his secre tary ha8 only to read aloud a docu ment once for him to master It. A Misleading Poll. The Washington Post and the New York World have been afflicting the country with polls of the members of the house of renwaeotittivee as to their presidential preferences. Nothing has so long and ;so thoroughly been dis credited in politics as a poll In which names are not mentioned. The aver age statesman is very prone to sny to the reporter: "Well, I am really for So-and-so, but you mustn't quote me. You might say, if you want to fill out your article, that the people of my state are generally for the other fellow, but my name mustn't be mentioned in any case." The Post and the World, being bitterly opposed to Mr. Bryan, were able to find fifty-three members, names \not given, who divided their votes among several other candidates. Mr. Bryan, of course, however, hud more than a two-thirds majority of all the Democratic members. While not at taching much significance to polls, I secured one of the delegation from Vir ginia, which showed only one man hos tile. This state had been mentioned in the newspapers aforesaid as being practically certain to cast its vote In the convention for Senator Daniel. The Next Secretary of the Interior. Of all the states or territories of the Union the new state of Oklahoma brings the most business to the interior department. In time doubtless it wiil be rivaled by the great territory of Alaska, which has wonderful natural resources, but today Oklahoma leads all. A strong effort is being made by the people of the state, irrespective of par ty, to develop sentiment In both parties to appoint some Oklahoman secretary of the interior. There Is scarcely a Whenever you feel that your stom- j ach nas gone a little wrong or when j you feel that it is not in good order as Is evidenced by mean headaches, nervousness, bad breath, and belch ing, take something at times, and especially after your meals, until re lief is afforded. There is nothing bet ter offered the public today for stom ach troubles, dyspepsia, indigestion, etc, than KODOL. This is a scientific preparation of natural digestants combined with vegetable acids and it contains the same juices found in every healthy stomach. KODOL is loubt that the state will go heavily Democratic In the next election. But even so and should the nation be lost to the Democrats the claim of the ma terial interests of the state for repre sentation in the Interior department would be a just and a stroug one. Mr. Clarence B. Douglas, owner of the Muskogee rhoenlx, a Republican pa per. Is pushii g this movement strong ly. Mr. Douglas, who was the Re publican caucus nominee against Sena tor Gore, is fighting the present pur pose of the' Republican party of the state to send to Chica ;o a delegatiou instructed for Roosevelt. His argu ment is that to enforce any candidate upon the delegation would greatly In jure the prospects of securing a prom ise, or possibly even the insertion of a plank in the platform declaring for an Oklahoma secretary of the interior would be very remote. Incidentally Mr. Douglas authenti cated a rumor which appeared in a few papers some weeks ago that a formal proposition had been made by people of the territory to send Mr. Bryan to the United States senate when it should become a state If he would move thither. Mr. Bryan de clined the proposition, though those who made it were amply able to give It effect on the ground that his Inter ests and his affections were too closely linked with Lincoln and with Nebras ka for him to move away. Kilkenny Cata In Ohio. Senator Foraker and Secretary Taft are pointing accusing fingers at each other and each anointing himself with balm as the only true promoter of har mony and peace in the state. In a re cent speech the senator, who is a mighty good fighter, whatever may be thought of his political doctrines, re ferred with caustic bitterness to Sec retary Taft'8 avowal that he rejected propositions for harmony ou the ground that the secretary of war could not be a party to any deal that gave him the support of the Republicans of Ohio for the presidency If it compelled the indorsement of Foraker for the United States senate. "When Secre tary Taft rejected all these peace of ferings," said the senator, "I had ei ther to run away or to resume the contest. The resulting situation is dis agreeable, but I do not consider my self responsible for It. Moreover, in view of the facts I have given I could not if I so desired take the i?'tiatlve as to any new peace negotiations or even consider or talk about anything of the kind on my own motion until Secretary Taft or some one speaking for him should lead the way. Anil from all I hear nothing of that sort i? likely to occur. It may therefore bo regarded as settled that the contest ?will be fought out to the end." Considering that the friends of Mr. Taft started in with the proposition to eliminate Senator Foraker from poli tics and that they have not yet ceased talking along that line, the senator's position seems reasonable. It also seems equally reasonable to anticipate that with these two powerful warriors at each other's thror.ts the chances for Democratic success in the coming cam paign are very bright. To an observer, however, from outside the state the fight also suggests tbut neither Taft nor Foraker will in the very nature of clever politics get the nomination. A Republican Attack on Labor's Rights. For more than a week the propose'l revision codification of federal statute? has been under discussion In the house of representatives. The debate being In committee of the whole, it has been more free aud spirited than under tbe heavy hand of the speaker. One para graph which has been on the statute books since the year 1800 led to a lively debate, in which tbe Democrats got all the best of it. This .'lause provides that any man who shall induce an em ployee in any United States arsenal or armory to give up his employment or any man who ?ball employ a man sc Induced shall be guilty of misdemeanor and subject to fine or imprisonment. The Democratic contention through out the debate was that this was a de nlul to a single class of public serv ants of the right to better their condi tion by securing better wages in pri vate employ. What constitutes an in ducement is easy to understand. It does not mean merely an offer of bet ter pay from an employer. Even If the worklngman seeks the more attractive offer aud it is made he nevertheless has been subject to inducement. The Democrats urge a very simple amend ment?namely, the insertion of the words "in time of war." It would hardly seem that anybody could make excep tion to that, yet it wan voted down by a strict party vote. And more, the proposition for which the Republican side of the house voted as a unit was designed only to prevent the mere workii'.gman, the fellow who handle? machinery and gets into the grime and ruck of actual work, from gettlug ? better place. It does not prevent the army officer, educated at West Point and at public expense, from accenting a proposition from the United States steel trust to supervire ihe making of cannon or from going to the Colt's Arms company in Connecticut, where great quantities of small arms are manufactured and sold. It would not prevent a man educated at public es pouse from leaving the navy to go to the Crnmps or the Bethlehem Steel company. It might he questioned why. if workingmen are to be denied the right to seek better employment by federal statute, they should not In the same way be assured of the perma nence of I heir present position. But within a few months more than 8.000 men in navy yards on the Atlantic coast have lost their jobs because the president took it into his head to send the fleet around Cape Horn. Consider ations like these will come to plague the Republican party in the next cam paign. Washington. D. r. guaranteed to give relief.

A lady who was in Port Arthur dur ing the bombardments ordered by Admiral Togo has described tie curi ous effect It produced on cats by the cannonade. "I was at my window dur ing each bombardment," she has re lated, "but only through the day, be cause at night I did not dare stir out of bed. In front of me there was a little roof on which five or six cats of the neighborhood collected. Each time there was a bombardment the cats duly arrived, and, havng ojserved them, I on the second occasion pro ceeded to watch them. With ray fam ily we passed the hours looking at them. At each gunshot the cats irched their backs and stiffened their iegs, and seemed both terrified and furious. Then when a hissing shell arrived it gave the signal for a fright ful battle. They jumped at each other, raging like tigars, and seemed to hold each other responsible for what was taking place. The effect was so com ical we could not help laughing, al though the occasion did not inspire gayety. After having fought the cats retired for awhile, as though bewild ered, but as soon as the bombardment commenced again they went through the same business. Each time it was always the same."?St. Jams Gazette. TALES OF WELL KNOWN PEOPLE. Sarah Barnharrlt has had what Is probably the greatest experience of all tragediennes in the simulation of suicide. Her death by self-acminis tered poison total up roughly to 10, 000;she has jumped into the scenic artist's Seine over 7,000 times ; she has sent over 5,000 bulletsinto her head from a revolver, and nearly the same number of daggers has the great act ress, to the inexpressible sorrow of inlemperately sympathetic specr.ators, plunged deep into the shiffon at the side of her bodices. At a reception one night a lady asked Mme. Bern hardt if she really kept a coffin at her house in Paris. "Certainly,"answer"d the actress with a smile, "and so would you if you were the morgue's most constant customer. While Secretary Hay was in the country one summer an important piece of official business was pending and he arranged with Washington that anv news that might arrive about the matter should be telegraphed to him In cipher. Day by day he waited, but no telegram came. One morning, hap pening to go to the lonely little tele graph office, he said to the operator. "1 suppose you have received no dis patch for me?" "Why, yes sir," tho operator replied, "there was a dis patch for you the other day, but it was all twisted and confused. I co ildn't make head or tall to it so 1 lidn't think it v.T.e any use to send it up to you." As there Is a law against burying within the limits of Albany, N. Y., BIshup Doane of that city had a spec ial act of the legislature passed to get permission to be buried in the cathed ral. His friends were worried when they read its text. It began with the usual verbiage. The ending was uome thlng like this: "We do grant that Bishop Doane be buried within the precincts of the city of Albany. This act to take effect immediately." Hie Heart Was Black. A country sexton officiated at a fu neral clad in a red waistcoat.

Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal r^ndily, the blood is at fault; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and pois*"*" which are being constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal. These impurities in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down to posterity ; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows the necessity for the very best constitutional ieatment. There is nothing that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment. Every symptom suggests pollution and disease?the discharge, the red, augry looking flesh, the pain and in flammation, and the discoloration of surrounding parts, all show that deep down in the blood there are morbid and dangerous forces at work, con stantly creating poisons which may in the end lead to Cancer. Local applications are valuable only for their cleansing and antiseptic effects; they do not reach the blood, where the real cause is located, and can therefore have no real curative worth. S. S. S. heals old sores by going down to the fountain-head of the trouble and driving out the poison-producing germs and morbid matters which are keeping the ulcer open. It removes every particle of impurity from the cir culation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and health-sustaining. Then as new, rich blood is carried to the place the healing begins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue and healthy flesh are formed, and soon the sore or ulcer is well. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood puri fiers and finest of tonics, just what is needed in the treatment, and in addi tion to curing the sore will build up and strengthen every part of the system.

In 1377 I had my leg badly cut on the sharp edge of a barrel, and having on ablue woolen stocking the piece was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years no ont knows what I suffered with the place. I tried, it seemed to me, everything I had ever heard of, but I got no relief and I thought I would have to go through life with an angry, discharging sore on my leg. At last I began the use of S. S.
