The market in Africa is worth nothing to usj we have very little inter­ est in Asia, very little in Japan and less in the islands o! the Pacific. America is th? best market for what Americans can manufacture, and we cannot afford to desert our market for what they call the markets of the world. I think we have toarned a lesson.

HP" The country editor is evidently more of an "insect" than Mr. MedilP, dreamed of when he stirred up the meek: and lowly impecunious mortal. Thesakl "infinitesimal" being is so much of a thorn that the great editor rarely writes an editorial without giving his insignifi­ cant country brother of the quill a jab of his sharp pen dipped in the essence of disappointment. Mr. Medill is a great man, but he took the wrong course to make himself United States Senator.-- Sterling Standard. KiJr The House Committee on military Affairs has ordered favorably reported, and Mr. Outhwaite, of Ohio, will endeav­ or to have passed, the bill amending the act of March, 1888, for the relief of cer tain volunteer and regular soldiers of the Mexican and late war so as to remove the time limitation, fixed by that act, within which claims for removal of charges of desertion may be filed and acted upon by the War Department. The measure is considered of great im portance to this class of claimants, a^ it gives them indefinite time in qrbieti to file and prove their claims. The aggregate amount which the several state charitable institutions will the legislature to appropriate for them is f480,000. As approved by the state board of charities, the amounts are as follows: Northern hospital for the insans, 94,000;- Eastern hospital. #132,000; Central hospital, 42,300; Southern hospital, $47,200; asylum for Insane criminals, f6,700: institution for HEBE is some good advice an exchange gives for the commencement of the New Year, and which would look well at the top of the new leaf you will turn over: "If you would increase your happiness and prolong your life, forget your neigh­ bor's faults, forget the slander you have heard, !orget the temptations, forget the f&ult-fuadiitg, HU«1 give a little thought'to the causes that provoke it. Forget the peculiarities of your friends and only re­ member the good points that makes you fond Of them. Forget all personal quar­ rels that you may have heard by acci­ dent, and which, if repeated, would seem a thousand times worse than they are Blot out as far as possible all the disa­ greeables of life; they will come but they will only grow larger when you remember them; the constant thought of the acts of meanness^-worse still--malice--will only tend to make them more familiar. Obliterate every thing bad from yester­ day, startrout with a clean sheet for to­ day, and write upon it for sweet Mem­ ory's sake only those things that are lovgly lovable." Doctor's Charity» The following, taken from the Marshall county Democrat, would indicate that doctors have about as tough times get­ ting their pay as the newspaper men have: "I was talking with Dr. Reeder the other day on credit vs. cash system. The doctor is a man who 'pays as be goes' and gets his money the beet-he can. He has practiced medicine in Lacon for 35 years and he says he has enough mon­ ey on his books, if collected, to build a five story business block, and the com­ pound interest on the amount would endow a charitable institution and make it independent for all time. Few people realize the immense credit given patients by doctors, and fewer know how charita­ ble doctors are. 1 know of an incident in this town where a doctor was asked to contribute to the support of a poor citi­ zen. The doctor went to his books, made out a bill of 12 years standing, amount­ ing to $300 without interest, and pre sen ted it to the solicitors, receipted in full." ifi^oprul&r a'athor^ ^ Upon%by the me Journal to rs a particularly in- g 1895.

Mr. Mason made a •Splendid canvass of this State, and great­ ly aided to elect the present Republican Legislature. He took off bis coat and *?ent at it when such men as the editor of the Tribune said it was hopeless to con­ tend for a Republican Legislature But Mason fought in earnest for it and we have it. He made many friends through- Out theState by his course, and it is no eecret that many of those elected say they are going to vote for him for THK FUTUK.B OF DIFHTHEBZA The word diphtheria always strikes a chill to every heart, and daring recent years its seeming increasing fatality has made the disease more dreaded than ever. Thus it is that all eyes are turned anxiously toward the recent discovery, anti-toxine, a remedy which it is claimed will dispel the worst case of ̂ diphtheria in a few hours. The anti-toxine remedy is of especial value at the present time when epidemics of diphtheria are reported from many lo­ calities. Moreover, the value of the rem-1 edy in accomplishing what is claimed for it appears to be beyond dispute. Anti-toxine is the sero|n of immunized animals and serves its (Mrposs by difv- ing the diphtheritic poison out of the system of the patient. I t Judging by practical tests the New York Herald claims forjanti-toxine a re­ markable success. In raris the results oi, the serum treatment have been that th»\ weekly mortality froii diphtheria de-! creased from 69 deatbJto 29, and in the last week of September there were only two diphtheria cases in all Paris-- a rec­ ord which is unprecedented. # In Berlin, prior to tne introduction of the new remedy, the mortality of diph­ theria ranged from 3SK5 to 41.7 per cent. But by the use of anti-toxine, the Nfew York Medical Record pay e Baginiski has broken the record in 125 cases by reduc- l®-fl!&e famous aiff House, at Baa Francisco lately burned is to be rebuillt. An interesting phenomenon attending jthe conflagration was the desertion "of certain of their roosting rocks by the .aeals.
