A BONDED WORLD.
The national debts of the civilized
"vcrid amount to thirty-one billion dol-
lars. We see that our part of this
nam is, in round numbers, one billion
dollars, while our entire indebtedness,
public and private, is about forty bil-
lion dollars, or forty times the amount
of our national debt.
It is probable that the entire debts,
public and private, of all the nations
amounts to twenty times their national
debts, or in other words, twenty times
thirty oue billion dollars, which makes
the neat little sum of six hundred and
twenty billion dollars; and the annual
interest on the same computed at five
per cent is thirty-one billion dollars.
Every bondholder and other interest
gatherer teaches the stickers that the
way to have a solid and stable money
system is to make gold the only legal
tender money. The entire gold of the
world, coined and uncoined, is less
than Ave billion dollars.
Now, if you can believe that this lit-
tle handful of gold, loss than one dol-
lar of gold to one hundred and twenty
party State Committee, at which a
change was made from provisional to
regular organization. The paper says:
The State Executive Committee of
California, which met to-day, consists
of F. B. Brown of Santa Clara, C. H.
Castle of San Francisco, C. W. Kitts
of Nevada, John D. Monyhan of Sacra-
mento, J. K. Phillips of San Francis-
co, P. B. Preble of Almeda. J. W. War-
boys of Santa Rosa, H. E. Quick of
Los Angeles and George W. Monteith
of San Francisco.
A congressional district committee of
five was appointed for each of the eight
congressional districts, the congression-
al committeemen and the executive
committeemen together constituting
the new committee.
Those selected were as follows:
"First district—W. A. Sharpe of Sis-
kiyou. G. K. McMath of Humboldt, J.
C. Williams of Nexada, J. C. Smith of
Placer and N. J. McCum3ey of Eldo-
rado.

large passenger steamship plying reg-
ularly between America and Eurcfe.
Add to this Steamship Trust the Am-
erican Railroad Trust, practically com-
pleted by Mr. Morgan, and arrange a
"harmonious working agreement" with
the steamship lines that connect San
Francisco with Asia, Australia and tho
Philippines, and the international
Transportation Trust becomes a fact.
Tho aim of the new transportation
trust is to capture the carrying trade
of the globe.
If the new Trans-Siberian Railroad,
now being built by American engin-
eers with American material, can be
induced by Mr. Morgan to make a
"harmonious working agreement" with
the International Transpartation
Trust, then Mr. Morgan will absolutely
belt the world with his railroads and
steamships.
His railway trains will cross two
continents nnd his steamships will
cross two oceans, lie will become tin
grand stage-driver and ferryman of
the world.
The steamship lines brought togeth-
er by Mr. Morgan are the American
line with 8 ships, the Red Star with
13 ships, the White Star with 23 ships,
the Dominion with C ships, the Ley-
land with 3-1 ships and the Atlantic
Transport with 21 ships.
These six lines will form what will
be known as the "International Navi-

OBFUSCATING THE INNOCENTS.
Can one be pardoned and retain the
offense?—Hamlet.
Tho Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, in its quadrennial conference in
this city, had one question for con-
sideration which reaches far beyond
the bounds and influence of that, de-
nomination, and which has excited
deep and universal interest.
The question was not one of reli-
gion or doctrine, but had relation to
the conduct of life. It was a great
moral question, and its decision re-
vealed to the world the attitude which
tho conference, as a body, presented
when compelled to toe the mark, ami
take its stand either for truth and
honesty with pecuniary loss on the
one hand, or for deception and fraud
with pecuniary protlt on tho other.
We state first tho circumstances
which gave rise to the question here
emphasized.
Tho Southern Methodist Church
made a claim against the United
States for occupation ami damage to
its property during the lite war. The
claim was laid at $2SS,0<i0. Tho facts,
the justice of the claim, and the prop-
er estimate of the amount, are admit-
ted by all.
The claim was brought before Con-
gress. A majority of the Senators were
of the opinion that the government
was under no obligations to pay the
claim, on tho ground that the use and
damage was "to enemy's property in
an enemy's country." However, as
Congress had allowed certain claims by
educational institutions as a matter,
not of right, but as a bounty, so It.
was agreed by Senators to vote for the
claim, provided the whole sum went
to the church and no attorney or third
party was to have a rake off.
The Senate was assured by the ac-
credited agents of the church that the
church was to receive tho whole
proper methods" before Congress, "if"
such methods had been used. It was
further determined by tho Conference
that the church would refund the
money if the United States Senate
would pass a resolution that the pass-
age of the bill allowing the claim was
due to "misleading" statements by the
church's agents. This was a perfectly
safe proposition, inasmuch as the Sen-
ate had positively refused to take such
action and that it Is a certainty that
they never will pass such a censure
on a large and influential religious
body. There was only one honest and
straightforward way open to the Con-
ference and that was to vote a refund
of tho money. There is no difficulty
about getting money covered into the
"conscience fund" of tlie United States
treasury. To raise such a diillculty is
playing to tin' groudllng. The plain
truth is, that the fine hand played by
tlie Conference puts to shame the
methods of the Society of Jesus.
llut a robust and intelligent public
will easily see through this veil of
Jesuitism. They will reason, and cor-
rectly, that tin? Conference cannot re-
pudiate dishonesty and at the same
time retain the profits and gains ac-
cruing front dishonesty.
For, tin re either is such a tiling as
truth and honesty or there is not. If
the Methodist Church does not believe
that these virtues exist, let it say so
in plain language. It will be a more
manly way than to magnify holiness
and pocket the swag. The cloak of
hypocrisy which the Conference puts
on is too thin to conceal tho "unelean-
noss and dead men's bones" which
lie within. If those to whom a large
body of the people look as their spir-
itual guides are found to be playing
Jesus Christ for all he Is worth In a
business way, the respect which is paid
by them to tlie Methodist cloth, even
with the attachment of the Roman col-
lar. will tumble like the shares in a
broken wild cat bank.
This is not a matter which concerns
the Methodist Church alone. It has a
far wider import and comes home to
City.
The stock issued will represent a
value of $170,000,000. For his work in j
organizing the new trust, Mr. Morgan
has received the royal fee of $12,000,-
000 payable in the stock of the "in-
ternational Navigation Company."
But these six companies will only be
the hub of the great wheel that is to
roll around the globe.

Headache.
It's not a new variety of headache.
It's the old pain consequent on condi-
tions which result from study, confine-
ment, and careless eating. It is, in fact,
only one symptom of a derangement of
the stomach and organs of digestion and
nutrition. Take care of the stomach
and the health will take care of itself, ia
an axiom. More diseases originate from
a diseased condition of the stomach and
its allied organs than from any other
cause. If the stomach is foul evetv
particle of food which passes through ft
must lie fouled. But the food is the
source of the blood supply and if the stomach fouls the
food it must foul the blood. Then nerve and muscle, hone
and brain which are nourished by blood must suffer the
consequences. Sound health cannot be produced from
foul blood.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of
the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition, and
so cures headache, heart "trouble," liver " trouble," and
every other trouble which has its aause in a diseased con-
dition of the stomach and the consequent impurity of the
blood.
" I was troubled with very frequent headaches, often accompanied by aevere
vomiting," write# Mis# Mary Hclli' Sumraerton, of Sau Diego, Duval Co., Texas.
"Bowels were irregular, anil lny stomach and liver
seemed continually out of order. Often I could eat
almost nothing, and sometimes absolutely nothing for
twenty-four hours at a time. I was entirely unfit for
work, and tuy whole system seemed so run-down that
I feared a severe sick spell and was very ranch dis-
couraged. I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, and did bo with audi satisfactory
icsults that before finishing the third bottle I felt per-
fectly able to undertake tlie duties attending puolic
school life, and contracted to do so. 1 most heartily
advise those suffering with indigestion, and its attend-
ant evils, to give this great medicine a fair trial."
There is no alcohol in " Golden Medical Dis-
covery," and it contains no opium, cocaine or other
narcotic.
