I ROOSEVELT A SOCIALIST. ? ? ____ j POLITICIANS ARE GREATLY I STIRRED UP 15Y HIS UTTER? ANCES. Socialists Sure to Point to Them as Triumph for Their Teachings and j They W ill ProlKibiy Make Presi ? dent's Speech the Text ol' Many ! Campaign Arguments. ! Washington. April IT.-In cloak i j room and committee room at the cap? itol President Roosevelt's suggestion ! for a tax on inheritance is the subject of discussion among Senators and Rep? resentatives. Men are disinclined to be quoted for publication, but in pri? vate conversation express their views ^freely. From the legislative viewpoint, the President's suggestion does hot appear to present any aspect of iminency. It is not understood that he contemplates recommending the plan formally to the attention of Congress at least at this time. From the politician's outlook, how? ever the President's speech is expect? ed to have immediate and important effect. How far-reaching it may be none of the politicians venture to pre? dict, but all are agreed that it will ex? ert great influence in the coming cam? paigns. Their opinion is that the first j results will be to encourage the So? cialists to redouble their efforts. . While the president had no such idea in view when he gave the doctrine the indorsement of the foremost man in public life, politicians agree that the Socialists will immediately point to it as the triumph of one of their teachings. With the president's words as their text, the Socialists, it is pre? dicted will preach their full creed and distort his meanings to their own ends all down the line. Farsighted politicians have been ex 'pecting a Socialistic campaign this fall of unusual energy. Mr. Hearst set the ball rolling in New York last fall in the mayoralty campaign. He is keeping it up at .this moment through? out the State, in th preliminari?s of his campaign for the governorship nomination. In. Chicago, Boston and San Francisco his newspapers are fo? menting the cause in their own pec'u"-. liar way. The. debates in Congress this season have been laying the foundation for Socialistic preachings later on. The country has been told of the alleged wronging of the people by the rail? roads, of rebates, discriminations and the like and of the necessity of passing a stringent law to curb the carriers. The magazines of the "muck rake" variety, anathematized by the presi? dent last Saturday have inflamed the country with tales of the alleged in trenchment of corporations in legis? lative bodies and pictured the Presi? dent as being hampered by the repre? sentative of special interests. Organized labor has declared defi? ance against congress and has entered the arena of politics with the declared intention of defeating eveiy man who is not pledged to the bidding of the organization in congress. There is un? rest among the coal miners and possi? bility of grave halting of production and' earnings among the workers. Politicians say that this is just the kind of a situation wherein the Soc? ialists prosper and their doctrines thrive in fertile soil. The Socialist vote has been growing steadily, year after year, coincident with the in? creasing prosperity of the country. With all the conditions ripe for a boom in Socialism, the politicians were asking each other today how far the Socialists would succeed in making capital out of the president's sugges? tion of a tax on inheritance, j The president's friends insist that j his speech might prove to be a happy political stroke. "Viewed in this light." j they said, "the president sees the drift j of sentiment in certain quarters, ap I preciates the unrest and the mutter ings. He forestalls the situation by j placing the Republican party in the I position of admitting the evil and pro? posing the cure, with the idea that the people would trust him and his party in preference to some professed re? formers. It is very much like setting the grass afire ahead of you tu check j the prairie fire in the rear." Some of the ultra-conservative among the politicians fear that the j Socialists will successfully contort the j President's suggestion to meet their j own platform. It was pointed out that I previous platforms of Socio list and j Populist conventions contained planks | ' which the' unthinking might identify ? * i vit h tn- presi lem's new doctrine. The Richest Man in thc World. *The richest mon ir: the world can? not have his kidneys replaced nor live ; without them, sr? ?t is important not to neglect these organs. If Foley's ? Kidney Cure is taken at thc first j sign of danger, th'? symptoms will dis- : appear and your health will ho restor? ed, as it strengthens and hun?ls up these organs as nothing else will. Os- j car Bowman. Lebanon. Ky., writes: "I have used Foley's Kidney Curr- and take great pleasure in stating it cured me permanently of kidney disease, which certainly would have cost rne my life." Durant's Pharmacy. The Latest Eruption of Vesuvius. What seems likely to be ranked as ; one of the most destructive eruptions of the most famous volcano in the j world is now in progress. The erup? tion, which began early last week, j has continued now for more than ten days, with the exception of a tempo ! rary lull. Several towns in the vicin? ity of the volcano have been practical? ly buried by ashes und lava, but toe ; loss of life has not been so great as might have been expected, owing t<> ; the fact thai in the larger number <?f cases thc inhabitants, having taken ! warning from previous catastrophes, ? have reluctantly abandoned their homes to save their li\es. At the time of writing it is estimated that about 2.OOo lives have been lost, that about 57,000 have been made home? less, and that the property destroyed will amount to not far from $20.000, 000 in value. It will be apparent that the loss of life has been less than in the case of some of the previous erup? tions, though the value of property destroyed 'is probably greater. Great difficulty has been found in transport? ing the fleeing population, owing to the fact that the railway service is hampered by the falling of hot stones, sand and ashes upon the tracks, the latter in many cases covering the ground to unmanageable thickness. The ashes have been carried as far as Naples, and in several instances the collapse of buildings and accompany? ing destruction of life has been at? tributed to the falling of ashes and sand on the roofs. The first and most noted eruption of the volcano occurred in 79 A. D. This disaster, which involved the destruc? tion of Herculaneum and Pompeii, has been rendered famous by the de? scription given in two letters written by Pliny the younger co the historian Tacitus, and by the death of Pliny, the elder, the uncle of the former. Though this was the earliest eruption of which we have any record, it was preceded by a series of earthquakes covering a period' of sixteen -years. Since that time there have been nu? merous eruptions, one of -which, in 1631. destroyed a number . of the towns which have again disappeared this year under the lava and ashes which have been spreading ruin about the burling mountain for the last ten days. There were no fewer than eighteen outbreaks in the inner fire during the last century, one of which, that beginning' in November, 1S67, and continuing till March, 1868, was the subject of special observation by a number of scientific men. Anoth? er unusually violent eruption occurred in 1872. The present is the third out? break in the present century. It is one of the noteworthy features of the present eruption that the lava, after spreading in a great variety of directions about the mountain, accord? ing to late accounts, turned again in the direction of Pompeii. This town, which v,*as buried from human sight ! for centuries. is about five miles from the volcano. It was only about the middle of the eighteenth century that excavations began to reveal the ?site j of the ancient city, which in its I heyday possessed an amphitheatre capable of giving accommodation to 20.000 spectators. Owing to the facts that the lava has ceased flowing, at least for the time, and that the in? habitants of the district about Pom? peii have had ample warning, the bulk of them may be regarded as safe, though many, perhaps most of them, may be reduced to destitution. Al ; ready several towns in the neighbor ! hood have been buried beneath the j lava and ashes. It is to be noted that ? from the King down the authorities have acted with the mos' commenda? ble efficiency in the face of disaster. Their efforts can, however, accomplish little beyond aiding the inhabitants to flee t" new places and relieving cases of destitution until the fiery tumult of the burning mountain has reached its period. The latest accounts would seem to indicate that there has been a real cessation in the activity of the vol? cano. *Sick headache results from a de? rangement of the stomach and is cur? ed by Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

In an unusual speech in the House of Representatives, Mr. McDermott, of New Jersey, attributed the persecution of Hebrews in Russia to the belief of ignorant persons that Christ was killed by Hebrews and he called upon the Russian Greek church to halt the j atrocities by teaching that the doctrine i is false. "With the approach of Easter." said Mr. McDermott, "come stones of threatened massacres in Russia. The persecution of Hebrews because they are Hebrews is today tolerated in but few places in the Christian world, but the spirit that is breathed in the words "Christ Killer" is found on the tongues of the Christions in the new as well as the old world. The persecution of He? brews has always ceased with apos tacy. It is so in Russia today. Hebrews can obtain safety of life and property by declaring belief in the Russian Greek church. "We can preach in the press and pulpit that the statement that Jesus Christ was crucified by the Hebrews is the wickedest falsehood that ever came from human lips. "If Christ was mortal, if He was the son of Joseph and Mary. He was cru? cified by the Romans. If he was the Son of God He was crucified by the direction of his father. Under neither proposition can the Hebrews be held accountable. If He was mortal He was the prisoner of Rome, and the He? brews as a race never cried for His blood. "When a mob lynches a prisoner in New Jersey, Delaware or South Caro? lina we do not say that he was lynch-, ed by the American people. The mob which yelled at Pontius Pilate was wholly without authority to say that its doings should become a charge against the Hebrew race. "Let the church of Russia speak.. Let the Czar-speak. Not one in one; thousand Russians knows Christ was a Hebrew. The "Russian church pro? claims it has a garment worn by Christ and picture of the Blessed Vir? gin drawn hy* St. Luke and the. hand of St.-Mark. Let the church of Rus? sia resound with the cry that the hand of St. Mark was the hand of a Hebrew and that the garment of Christ was worn by a Hebrew. . . . ... . . "Tell those who crowd the-churches that on the day of final judgment' Jesus Christ will hold court with twelve Hebrews as associates. Tell the congregations that those who murder Hebrews will be condemned to eternal punishment. While the relics are paraded let it be in the cause of huir anity. "It is almost impossible to estimate the advance which will be made if the Russian church will display on every cathedral meeting house and altar this legend: " 'Remember Christ was born of a Hebrew woman. He was not executed by Hebrews, but died because com? manded by his Father, the God whom you worship.' " Rheumatism Makes thc Life Miserable *A happy home is the most valuable possession that is within the reach of mankind, but you cannot enjoy its comforts if you are suffering from rheumatism, rou throw aside busi? ness cares when you enter your home and you can be relieved from those rheumatic pains also by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
