TALKING about steadiness, Philadel­ phia stands in advance of the head of the procession. The percentage of its increase in population from .1890 to 190(; was 28.57, while in the previous period bom 1880 to 1890 it was 23.58. • lS?S'T-v t.' mm-- '* PROBA TE NEWS -.V;': ' I X ' - /wv H -2 * THE destruction of timber by forest fires goes on a pace. In the Rocky mountain region during the pa t week more has been swept away than is likely to be replaced in the next generation. The generation, after that, however, in the west and the east, will begin to see the necessity of replacing timber lands, and will take steps to renew the forests of the country. Either that, or it will go very short of lumber for building and all other purposes. •WHICH IS THE SAFER PARTY? 8i}At the present time party lines are .loosely drawn, and independent voting •is becoming more and more general. Men now vote according to the dictates of their consciences, and for what they deem the best for their country, state, community and family. All men, es­ pecially the working classes, will natu­ rally ask, when the question of who shall administer the government for the next four years arises, which is the safest party. A glance at our past history will easily answer this interrogation. What party was it that brought the country safely through a terrible civil war; that fought down greenbackism, which, like a hide­ ous monster of classical story, would have destroyed our nation's credit; that revived the industries of our country and establish a protective tariff; that carried on the war for the freedom of Cuba and swept the name of Spain from our fair western world? It is with the greatest pride indeed that we answer. "The Republican Party." President McKinley and his cabinet are now maintaining a policy which will pave China from the vengence of the powers wad from its own internal ruptures. For forty years, with the exception of two terms of Democratic administration under Cleveland, the Republican party has controlled the welfare of our nation. During these years it has steadily ad­ vanced our domestic prosperity and put this country on a equal footing with all the great nations of the earth, until to­ day we are of all people the most envied and our fiag the most honored. During President Cleveland's first administra­ tion every thing went well because there • was a Republican senate. During his second administration be had a congress in accord with his views. The result is well known. Factories were closed and numbers of men thrown out of employ­ ment, business became stagnant and failures were the general order of the <lay. In their dire distress, the people turned to the Republican party again. Industries revived, the working people, £7^7 :'r who, after all are the people, were given ?< ttnploymenr. «• And for what do the parties stand? ®ie Republican party stands for pros- V. perity and absolute honesty: the Demo- k^; ,, cratic party for destructiveness and ^ financial dishonesty. Which, then, is / the sa'er party to follow? You can best ^4 y>'- decide by answering a second question; Wider which have you lived and pro# jeered the best. The records of the Republican party Ipave answered the que tion in the past, |nd they stand as a promise for the fu- *"f'* ;•?£• f 'ft; REAL EST ATE TRANSFERS.

Ifar- kle, head miller of the Marshall mills, of Marshall, 111., the pub­ lisher was given the following facts concerning the effects of MICRO GERMI, used by his ten- year-old son. He said: "My boy had been in poor health for over & year. He had commenced to cough and expectorate; he became weak and nervous and was going down in spite of everything we could do. nothing seemed to uo him any permanent good, though several remedies were tried. lost May he BEGAN TAKING EVERYBODY'S BLOOD PURIFIER Prompt Positive Pure Pleasant [MARK and before he had finished the sec­ ond bottle his health was as good as ordinary boys of his age.

In faraway New Zealand there is an enteresting little eight-page paper, with three columns to a page, printed in both the English and the native tongue, and called The Pleia­ des of Seven Stars. Its editor is no less a person than his royal highness, Tawhiao. It is true that this potentate is not an independent sovereign, but when hp descends from the royal throne to the editorial chair, then, indeed, he is monarch of all his surveys. Chinese are dangerous enemies, fcrr they are treacherous. Tnat's why all counterfeiters of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve are dangerous. They look like DeWitt's, but instead of the all-healing witch hazel they all contain ingredients liable to irritate the skin and cause blood poisoning. For piles injuries and skin diseases use the original and gen­ uine DeWitts Witch Hazel Salve. Julia A. Story. Mowing Pastures. If pastures are at all weedy it is a good idea to run over them with a mow­ ing machine before the weeds go to seed. What grass there is will be cut down and cured so that the stock will lose nothing and the new grass will come on and make better growth. As stock keeps the grass down and lets the weeds grow, the weeds will take a pas­ ture in a few seasons if not checked in some Way. Mowing them will do thi« and add to the quality of the pasture.
