When she was well enough to attend to businese It was found that she had inherited all her aunt's money ; and as she bad already accepted me, we were married a twelvemonth afterward.

Hutobleeoa, Hook Hill. •• & My Dear Blr—Heptylag to your* of tb* ftAb Instant, I bag to say there does not appear to be any present proe- pect of financial reform from Co(>t(rr„ The McKinley administration Is con- oentratlng 1U energies on a change In our tariff laws, and seem to think higher taxation will be the panacea for our financial and business troubles. While I do not concur in this view, it is but fair to allow it reasonable time to demonstrate the soundness of the proposition. . — I am more than ever convinced that the beat and surest solution of our financial problem would be the tepoal of the 10 per cent, tax on State bank circulation, followed, as it would inevi tably be followed, by the iree and un- * limited ooinaage of both silver and gold at the present ratio. For this consummation I struggled for years while I was in public life, and thought we had reached the goal when a plank was put in the Democratic platform in 180*2 providing for the repeal of the 10 per cent. tax. i, This plank was accepted wad ap proved by the President, Mr. Cleve land, and Mr. Carlisle, his secretary of dte treasury, and some of u* urged these gentlemen to use tbelr powei Influence la Congress ia aid of the passage of a Mil introduced to carry out that pledge of tbs Democratic party. From some cause, which 1 will not venturi to eswlaia, their support was not vouchsafed, certainly not ta aay public maaaer I I eplaiaa Is the gwM bill beeaesi they itrails* the even aad prosperity "u*u2 i for tbelr a by aay be fetiie. It Is a While a member of the Senate I made two speeches in advocacy of th* npeal. aad if you care to examine th* subject further, would refer you to them. In one of these speeches I elaborated at some length the influence of the Scotch system of local banks of issue, and showed, as 1 think beyond per- adventure or doubt, the value of such banks to the Scotch people under and by virtue of which they were enabled to embark successfully into business enterprises wholly impossible without them.' We would realise similar advantages In the State under the operation of a conservative State banking law. Very truly yours, • —- M. C. ButLkft. JUDGE BIMONTON’S DECISION.

This being the cnee the law laid down in Leisy vs. Hardin controls this case, and the attempt to forbid the impor- tatiou and sale of spirituous liquors In orlgiiml packages must fall. The decision of the supreme court of the United States must control all cir cuit courts. By this decision it is clear that so long at, the State herself engages in the business of importing and selling alcoholic liquors for tbe pur pose of profits; so long as she recognizes that the use of alcoholic liquors as a beverage Is lawful and can be en couraged ; so long as she seeks a mono poly in supplying these liquors for that use, and in this way looks to an in crease of hdr revenue, she cannot under her constitutional ob'igatioos to the other States of this Union, forbid, control, hinder and burden commerce in such articles between their citizen* and her own.

But' tbe growth of the institution has made tbe appointment of a president desirable and it is said that suenrtan officer -will probably be elected at the coming commence ment. --The cigar industry at Tampa, *>a., and its suburbs has reached such di mensions that the average weekly pay rolls now amount to 675.000.

WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills the every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blaader and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef fects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during tbe night to uri nate. Tbe mild and extraordlnaiw effect of Swamp-Root Is soon realised. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing Oases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

I found, upon judicious Inquiries, that Mias York— Ella—had lived with her aunt from childhood ; that she was now twenty- four; that her mother was dead, and her father lived oo theCootloeot for his health; also that she was her aunt's sole heiress. These facto were of course only learned by degrees, as one caonot goto the fountain head for such information. “ After much heart-searching and debating within myself I thought I saw that Ella York was not wholly in different to me, and I resolved to ask her to be my wife. I need not go into detail as to how I did it, beyond saying Xhat it was one Summer morning rath er more than five years ago, when, having gone to see her aunt, who was out, 1 met Elia in the grounds; and after talking as we walked along on earloua subjects, somehow it came out unexpectedly, and almost before I could comprehend what It all meant, Ella York had prom'sed to be my wife, anbjaot to bar auat’s consent. “ But her aunt didn't consent.- I re ceived adalaty note that eight—how tenderly 1 rewarded It, Howeoe —from Ella, say lag that eh* had spoken of my visit to bar neat, and had tote tor I 6*elre- to see Mila, Mm* York has al*ay* elth th* pel lee, aad 1 k > has* them am my track, If I oouid help it.
