The net debt of the United States
June 30, 1894, was $899,313,381.
The Debs trial for conspiracy will be
taken up again May 6 in the federal
court, over which Judge Grosscup pre-
sides.
Henry L. Lewis, one of the largest
cotton planters iu Central Texas, died
at his home in Hearne, Tex., on the
15th instant.
John T. Hardie, head of the exten-
sive cotton firm of John Hardy & Co.,
of New Orleans, died at his home in
that city on the 6th instant.
The city council of Richmond, Va.,
has appropriated $10,000 for a monu-
ment to the memory of the dashing
Confederate cavalry commander, J. E.
B. Stewart.
Danver, Colo., is arranging for an
international mining and industrial
exposition in 1896. A half million dol-
lars has already been secured for start-
ing the project.
Nelly Bly, one of the best known
newspaper correspondents in the coun-
try, has just celebrated her twentieth
birthday by marrying a 70-year-old
multi-millionaire.
Miss Helen Gould, daughter of the
late Jay Gould, will be the sponsor for

foa 100,000 acres of land in southwest
Georgia for the purpoee of supplying

A counterfeiting syndicate in Canada
has flooded the northwest with bogus
2-cent postage stamps. Millions of
them have been distributed all over
the western and southern states: and
so well executed are they that experts
are unable to detect them. It is prob-
able that the government will stop any
further issue of the pink two-centers
and send out another color, as the only
means to checkmate these swindlers.
MODERN HEROES.
Rev. George D Heron, D. D., pro-
fessor of applied theology in Iowa col-
lege, at Grinnell, Iowa, made a eensa-
tional address on the topic of the
"Church and the Workingman" in
the Central Methodist church of San
Francisco recently. He said, among
other things:
4-The great problem of our day is the
problem of society. This is the prob
lem in all mlrds that think, and in all
hearts that feel, and is the one we must
face. The average pay of an adult in
«he United states is $300 a year. At
the same time a single man possesses
an income of $30,000,000. We call this
problem one of labor and capital, and
sometimes of work and wages, but it is
really more. It is a question of right
relations. It is idle to talk of justice and
harmony when these things continue.
It is a crime for Christians to be indif-
ferent to it. It is politically and re-
ligiously wrong that a few should gain
possession of the products of the whole.
It is not honesty, nor thrift.
The railway problem in America,
and the question of work and wages, is
a religious problem. Isaiah, in his
day, was as great a reformer as was
Charles Sumner. Isaiah said, 'First
of all stop bribing your judiciary, stop
oppressing the poor, and make your-
selves clean!' There will bo a day
when history will look baok and mar-
vel at the great self-restraint and he-
roism that is exercised by the vast ma-
jority of our laboring men. We talk
of Thermoplse, but it is easy to die in
heroic times. That's nothing. But
when last summer, at the village of
Pullman, hundreds of men saw their
wives and children hungry day after
day, yet stood oat for principle, I say
the day will come when they will be
regarded as heroes.
In Chicago no one ever thought of
the church, and that ought to be said
to our everlasting shame. The church
ought to have been on the side of the
oppressed, and against the aggressor.
The interest of one man in the world
is the interest of all. We have come
to the greatest crisis in human his-
tory.
PROSPECTS OF THE COTTON OUTLOOK.
The continued decline in the price of
cotton during the last ten years has
not been 80 much a consequence cf
over-production or excassive competi-
tion with India, Egypt and other cot-
ton growing countries, as a result
following the universal depression of
business throughout the world. The
increase of population and the extend-
ed employment of cotton goods in all
countries have been in advance of pro-
duction, which would have created a
demand that would have equaled all
supplies, if business interests had been
in a condition to enable the people to
earn enough to gratify their desires
for cotton goods equal to their regular
wants.
The immense number of working
people that are idle, and those who are
living from hand to mouth, have been
unable to purchase their usual quant
ity of cotton goods, and by thus reduc-
ing the regular demand for cottongoods
and consequently for cotton, the mark-
ets have been made so weak that the
comparatively small products of India
have been made to exercise an unusual
depressing influence over the cotton
markets of the world, because the In-
dian cotton has and is being bought
and paid for with silver at its full value
of $l.o2 per ounce, while those buying
the cotton obtained silver bullion
at less than one-half the value they
exchanged it for the India cotton, thus
enabling them to undersell the mark-
ets to a ruinous exteni.
When the price of silver bullion ad-
vances, the cost of Indian cotton will
advance to the same extent, which will
undoubtedly cause a general advance
oi prices in all the markets for other
staple articles, whereby the demand
for cotton goods will gradually absorb
the available supply of the crops, even
if they should be greater than at pres-
ent.—Financial Record.
DeafneHB Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor-
mal condition, hearing will be destroy-
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-
oous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by ca-
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for eirculara, free.

CONSUMPTION
can, without doubt, be cured in its early stages. It is a
battle from the start, but with the right kind of weapons
properly used it can be overcome and the insidious foe
vanquished. Hope, courage, proper exércise, will-
power, and the regular and continuous use of the best
nourishing food-medicine in existence—
Scott's Emulsion
—the wasting can be arrested, the lungs healed, the
cough cured, bodily energies renewed and the physical
powers made to assert themselves and kill the germs
that are beginning to find lodgment in the lungs.
This renowned preparation, that has no doubt cured
hundreds of thousands of incipient cases of Consump-
tion, is simply Cod-liver Oil emulsified and made
palatable ana easy of assimilation, combined with the
Hypophosphites, the great bone, brain and nerve tonic.

Nothing in This World
Is so cheap as a newspaper, whether it be
measured by the cost of its production or by its
value to the consumer. We are talking about
an American, metropolitan, daily paper of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It's so
cheap and so good you cant afford in this day
of progress to be without it. There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it. It prints all the real news of
the world -the news you care for—every day,
and prints it in the shortest possible space. You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a day's
work too. It is an independent paper and gives
all political news free from the taint of party
bias. In a word—it's a complete, condensed,
clean, honest family, newspaper, and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the
west—140,000 to 150,000 a dayf
Prof. T. J. Hatfield of the Northwestern
University says: "THE CHICAGO RECORD
comes as near being the ¡deaI daily Jour-
nal as we are for some time likely to find
on these mortal shores."

scriptions received by all postmasters. Address
