DESTINY.

UC1CUL1VO mom v" -
vn our boasted republican ;form
of
crnwommnnt is 'an unsatisfactory ex
perimeut is a self-evident truth. God
Almighty created us witn an iu
gence and a free agency and left ui
with all the lights of revelation t
work out the nroblem of government
political and moral. Our Creator
never Intended that there should be

who never intended that poverty and

dltlon of the "man In the dugout" we
hnv huen uroning In darkness with a
ray of lig I now aud then illumining
the gloom but the perpetual sun rays
of our perfect civilization have not yet
dawned upon us. It may not be that
we shall enjoy that light until we
it out. fur ourselves and
nuin " -
work un 10 the millennium.
It has been generally supposed that
the period of existence anticipated as
a millennium had a fixed beginning
but the advance of modem thought
has reasoned from aualogy and con-
cluded that that happy existauce must
be accomplished by ourselves. The
development of the last half century
indicate that we are fast moving up to
a hlsrher plane of existence which the
millennium meant to typify. We have
boen moving in the preliminary and
preparatory lines of improvements
such as practical science in the inven-
tion of machinery to take the burden
from the shoulders of the poor and
give tlioin more time to read and
hlnk. We have been moving in the
line of art in architecture in mould-
ing the marble into lines of beauty by
which the nobler emotions of man are
awukeiied and enlarged into a broad-
er Held. Wo have be3ii kuitliug vast
cjntiuonts together by railways and
fast steamers drawing closer together
and cementing Into common thought
and common interests men of every
clime and every color. We have been
moving in the line of political
economy familiarizing ourselves with
the needs of the mastes and making
an honest effort to benelli mankind by
eliminating soltlsh motives from leg-
Hia Inn. In reiglonect and denomi-
nation are fast losing their distinction
and burying their proscriptive zeal.
The times of alllliation are both wid-
ening to embraoa humanity aud clos-
ing up to eradicate the uulmportant
and emphasize the important truths
of revelation. The barriers o' society
are crumbling the line of caste is be-
aming less distinct and not far
ahead of us we see a common broth
erhood that is the very essence of the
religion of Christ.
Wiiat will be the immediate causes
and Influences that will banish pov-
erty and crime from the earth uo hu-
man ken can predict. Nor how long
we will be moving along these lines
ludicated before the great battle of
Arruageddeu will result iu victory
and perfect peace and happiness ou
earth no human intellect can indi-
cate for there are no facts to base a
prediction upon; but the facts
to which we have referred
demonstrate that we are
moving In that direction and that is
einugb for us to know. It is too an
incentive for each and all of us to cou-
tribute our part however small it
may be to give additional impetus to
this general movement towards all
that is good and great and glorious.
Pessamlstio indeed must one be who
can not see In the signs of the times a
more glorious future for humanity
and one too which we are working
out for ourselves assisted by Divine
ala as far as it is consistent with our
own lree agency aud a demand of our
Maker that' we should use all our
splendid powers for the good of our-
selves and our kind.
THE COOK QUESTION.
We have received a letter signed
"Old Cook" comunnting on a late
editorial iu The Statesman. "Old
Cook" says cooks iu the South are
treated like slaves; work from 6
o'clock in the morning until 0 or 10
o'clock at night aud live in unfur-
nished rooms without tire" aud con-
cludes "that if they were treated bet-
ter they would be satisfied with less
wages aud render better service."
"Old Cook" also asserts that they
are treated so badly none but worth-
lets ones now hire out. Our ex-
experience aud observation do not
verify the statements of "Old Cook"
as to the hours of work aud treatmeut
of cooks iu the South. We are aware
of the fact that iu the North every
minute of their time is employed by
the housekeeper but here it is very
different. As a usual thing in this
city at least a cook who hires to do
cooking and house v ork gets through
her main work by 3 o'clock in the
afternoon and has the balance of the
afternoon and evening to herself
with tbe exception of an
hour to prepare supper. Their
rooms are comfortable and heated in
the winter. Not more than two-
thirds of the day's working hours are
necessary for a cook and house cleaner
to do her work. And they are not as
worthless as "Old Cook" assert3 but
they are too much given to society on
account of being allowed bo mac
leisure. Their wages are good aud
they dress well. They are careless
aud do not care to learn 'lhat is
what The Statesman complained of.
As they are educated and allowed bo
many liberties within the working
hours of the (lay we insisted t ..at bet
ter and more intelligent service was
due their employees. It is the habit
in the North and East to give domes
tics one afternoon out iu the week
Here with perbap the exception of
one afternoon scouring day they
have a greater parr of every afternoon
and unless they are allowed it they
will bundle up and leave. Where
treatment is exact and burdensome
good service is not really due the em
ployer but where treatment is just
and liberal cooks owe it to themselves
and their employers to do their duty
Dromntlv and Intelligently. A good
cook is a "rara avis" and when once
obtained can demand aud will spcure
good treatment but as it is we have
to put up with indifferent aud care-
less service and allow privileges that
ought to be compensated for in the
best and most intelligent service.
THE SCOPE OF SENATORIAL IN-
VESTIGATION. t he resolutions introduced by Sena
tor Hoar to investigate the charges
against Senator Roach of North Da-
kota of embezzlement in Washington
fifteen years ago have ptirred up a
spirit of investigation that shows
that the Democrats of the senate are
willing to condone Mr. lloach's of
fense as his splendid record In his
new home in the Northwest attests
the fact that the escapade at Wash-
ington has served as a fearful warn-
ing to him and changed the whole
current of his life which now runs
clear and pure. Not only this but
the Democrats manifest a resentment
by declaring that if he is investigated
there are others who shall also be
thoroughly investigated on the other
side ol the chamber.
It will bo remembered that Senator
Q'iay of Pennsylvania does not enjoy
a very fragrant reputation. His po-
litical tricks are well known to have
merged into palpably corrupt prac-
tices and if a committee is appointed
to investiga'e Mr. Roach it will
alBo be required to inquire into
tho illicit relations of Mr. Quay
with the treasury of the state of Penn-
sylvania at oue time fresh in the
memory of man. The investigation
will also be extended into the inquiry
of Bill Chandler's lobby practices and
to ascertain whether his profession as
a lobbyist was continued when he be-
came a senator from New Hamp-
shire. Senator Turpie of Indiana did
not mince words in his open charges
iu the senate againtt Mr. Power of
Montana when he opposed seating
him as a senator from that state He
ppokeof him as "unscrupulous dis
honest unprincipled impure defiled
a social aud political leper loatha me
and with the Bteuch and odor of a
plague worse than that of the man
who washed seven times in Jordan to
be cleansed."
Senator Gorman who is clear
headed and with the best memory of
the shortcomings of a political oppo-
nent of any gentleman in the senate
significantly asked that the resolution
lay over for awhile as it was likely
that other names would be added
to lr in the near future. It
is mot because Senator Roach is
a Democrat that The Statesman
thinks his offense of long ago ought
to be condoned but because it wants to
give every man a fair chance to cor-
rect the practices of his life and by an
honest course be permitted to rehabili-
tate himself socially and politically
holding his head up free from any re-
proach for a wroug that he has re-
pented of in sackcloth and ashes. If
Senator Roacn is to be investigated
let these men who justify their course
and denying guiit do not plead re-
pectence also le investigated. We
acknowledge we have respect for a
man who admits his guilt but asks
forgiveness and has demonstrated
his earnest reformation but we have
no respect for men who are guilty of
wrougB who boldly aud brazely defy
punishment aud whohave scaped in-
vestigation and punishment ou ac-
count of the accident of being on the
side of a majority In the senate. If
the senate of the United States is to
be purged let it be thoroughly purged
of its dishonest element. We have no
fear that Senator Ronch will suffer by
the investigation. He has admitted
his guilt suffered aud has reclaimed
his honest manhood in a life without
reproach through years of toil. Who
would drive him back from all tbe
avenues of respectability and morality
and force bim to herd with the crim-
als of the country?
Now is your time to buy a nice
straw hat at the Bargain Store. They
are very cheap. I
.V EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
It will be remembered that The
Statesman opposed the suggestion
of a number of leading Democratic
newspapers that Mr. Cleveland should
call an extra ssssion of congress just
as soon as he was inaugurated in
order in.mediately to change the
tariff policy of the country. w
thought such haste would be unwise
and feared that if he did yield to this
claim that the business affairs of the
country1 might receive a serious shock
fmm immature it ffifilation. We were
2lad that he did not do it.
It is now reliably announced that he
will tall an extra sesnion of congress
to couveno in September to consider
modify or repeal the McKinley tariff
This is very proper. It gives tii-ie to
mature a tariff measure and ensures
its wisdom and tl manifests a deeire
to obey the will of the people as soon
as possible as expressed by
the presidential election on
the tariff quesliou. It also
anticipates by some months the reiief
from the burden of the McKinley
taxation uder which the people have
been suffering and groaning. It is
announced iu the Washington dis-
patches that Speaker Crisp is in full
accoid with the administration on the
reformatory measures likely to be
introduced and considered at the
extra cession. All goes on well and
harmoniously. None of the evils pre-
dicted by the Republican party iu an-
ticipation of a total revolution in the
tariff' system have fallen upon the
country with their alleged hlighting
effects. Not even the embarrassment
of a depleted treasury has impaired
the credit or financial operations of
the government or commercial trade.
Immediately confidence in the new
administration was manifested by the
bankers and more gold was offered
to the treasury than was needed. In
September a bill will pass and become
a law that will lift the principal bur
den of taxation from the people and
prosperity will at once assert its reign
in all departments of business and
agriculture.
A FINAL RAID ON THE TREASURY.
We could not account for the eager
ness displayed by Mr. Foster Har-
rison's secretary of state to get off to
Paris with the Retiring sea arbitra
tion commission before the adminis
tration closed up its business and
handed the conduct of affairs over to
Mr. Cleveland but now the reason is
apparent. It has come to light upon
the first examination of the accounts
of the commission. Mr. Foster's ob-
ject wa3 to make a final grab
at the treasury and he
did succeed. His salary as agent for
tho United States a sinecure posi-
tion was $10000 with all hia current
expenses. Before the keys of the
treasury were surrendered Mr. Fos-
ter drew his salary in advance pock-
eted the $10000 and manifested great
eageruos3 to Hail.
The whole thing turns out to be a
magniflcant swindle that will attach
malodorous infamy to the closing
scenes of Mr. Harrison's administra
tion. The accounts show that Hal-
ford Harrison's pet sent as a clerk
with the commission was drawing 115
a day in addition to his regular
salary as well as Hub Smith and J
Stanley Brown the latter drawing
$10 more a day aa an officer commis-
sioned by the treasury department to
Inquire into seal lite which any old
fisherman would have give more ac-
curately for a glass of grog. J. Stan-
ley Brown's salary in this way runs
up to $10000 a year. It also trans-
pires that Halford's traveling ex-
penses are paid by the war depart-
ment he being a major in the army
and he gets $15 a day extra and his
salary as a major in the army.
Lawyer Coudert one of the assistant
counsels also gets $10000 and $15 a
day tor expenses.
It is reported that Secretary
Gresham is outraged at this final grab
at the treasury under the manipula-
tion of Mr. Foster the late secretary
of state who fixed all the salaries in-
cluding his own. Mr. Harrison should
have been more careful to preserve
his administration from this scandal.
It was bad tasta in Foster to arrange
this commission at any rate which
would act under a new administra-
tion but it would not be expected of a
man who made this final grab at the
treasury that he would be influenced
by any kind of courtesy in observing
the fitness of things to the incoming
administration. Mr. Gresham should
at once notify Mr. Foster that hia
services were no louger needed as a
government agent as suggested by
The Statesman long since and com-
pel him to disgorge the $lC000tcat
he quietly pocketed in advauce.
Bilious Colic Prevented.
Persons who are subject to attacks
of bilious colic can almost invariably
tell by their feelings whan to expect
au attack. If Chamberlain's Colic
Cholera aud Diarrhcoa Remedy is
taken as soon as these symptoms ap-
pear they tan ward off the disease.
Such persons should always keep the
Remedy at hand ready for immediate
use when needed. Two or three
doses of it at the right time will save
them much suffering. Forsale by Dr.

A REMARKABLE GIFT.
THE EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS OF A
FAMOUS BOSTON SPECIALIST.
Prominent People of the South Speak of His
Powers as Almost Miraculous Au-
thentic Reports of Hopeless
Cases Recovered Under His
Remarkable Treatment.
From tbe Philadelphia Times
Apparently the tnoat needed inven
tions and what we seem to be ap
proaching from many ricant scientific
discoveries is instantaneous and safe
travel and instantaneous and perma
nent cure of disease.
Forty or sixty miles an hour will
not longer satisfy the ambition of this
age. "Drop a nickle In the slot and
you are there 1000 miles away" is the
method of travel Americans are now
looking for. Quick cures permanent
cures cures of the once supposed in-
curable diseases are what the sick of
the country are demanding at the
gates ot Science and at the hands of
the great specialists and healers ol
this age.
More progress bas been made in
medicine the past twenty-five yean
than in the four hundred years pre
ceding. And the proiessiou which
has always been one of experiments
seems destined soon to become one of
science capable of coping with any
disease and from which all mistakes
will be eliminated. The greatest im-
provement the most important dis
coveries have always been made by
specialists.
Among the noted specialists of this
country there is one who in his pecu
liar specialties seems to excel in ine
most wonderiul way. He seems to ne
the master of diseases and the long
considered iucu able diseases seem to
be loys in hU hautl3. the Jioteiu
and Northern press have aboundod
with his miraculous cures tor years.
The wealthy from all parts of th
world have sought aud found help at
his hands. The greatest journals of
this country and Europe are constant-
ly recording his cures which read
like fairy tales aid would vie with
ancient miracles. Thousands seek his
aid every yeai from all parts of the
earth. They come to him sick and go
away well they come lame aud go
away cured. Ho has built costly in-
stitutions and large sanitariums in
fact seems to do in the perfecting of
his practice whatever his heart in-
clines to. We refer to Dr. K. C. Flower
of Boston Mass. though the reader
by this time will surmise ot whom we
speak.
The late roi. it. r . iiumtston wuo
for years was professor iu the Cleve
land Medical Cellege said iu an arti-
cle to the Chicago Timps "I have in
vestigated Dr. Ii. C. Flower's prac
tice for months and unhesitatingly
say that if there are such things as
miracles now adaya he i3 performing
them. I have seen him cure the
lame paralyzed and helpless who
have been ror years on tneir crutcnes
in an incredulous short titno. I havw
seen the most advanced and aban-
doned cases of cancer and tumor
brought to him and immediately
relieved and speedily cured. I have
seen him go into the death chamber
where all was darkness tears and
sobs and in a few moments change
the glassy eye the icy lip aud limits
into health smile and warmth. He
possesses the intuitional ability ol
telling diseases without being told
anything. I have seen him make
hundreds of examinations without
makiDg a mistake yet he never ak-
ed the patient a question. I have not
been able to ascertain how he initios
these cures. He says thero is noth-
ing miraculous in them but docs not
explain the n odus operandi iu his
presence the worst chronio diseases
seem to take new leases of life and the
most complicated diseases seem to lie
toys in his hands." But leaving out
the East and North the home of this
great specialist we have extensively
investigated Dr. Flower's workn ihe
South. Such enthusiastic patients
have never been seen in fact the doc-
tor's patients almost worth lp him
Here is what some of them snj :
A. F. Longley corner Massachusetts
avenue and First street S. E. Wash-
ington D. C said: " We all love Dr.
R. C. Flower. He cured my wife sev-
eral years ago in the most marvellous
way of Fibroid Tumor when i lven up
to die. We had made every effort but
no doctor had ever been able to help
her. The disease seemed a plaything
in his hands. He cured her speedily"
Mr. Longley is a prominent Washing-
ton citizen and superintendent ot the
government seed department.
Mrs. Carrie H. Marshall No. 107
Sixth street Washington D. C said:
"I owe my lile to Dr. R. C. Flower
and also my health to him. My trou-
bles were nervous prostratiou with
liver stomach and head troubles. He
has cured me when numerous physi-
cians failed to help me" said this
brighteyed woman with emphasis. "I
am so well and we are all so happy."
Mrs. W. F. Poat Granite Va. said:
"Dr. R. C. Flower of Boston as good
as raised me from the grave. Thia
everybody declares who knows any-
thing about my case. I had beea
treated aud given up to die by the
best physicians of this state. 1 had a
cancerous trouble could not retain
food on my stomach had -wasted
away and wai waiting the end. I had
frsquent and most violent spasms ol
stomach aud bowels. My sufferings
were unbearable. I began to irnpro"
immediately after commencing wl .;
Dr. Flower's treatment and improved
speedily and rapidly. I am a well
woman today well and sound.'' The
husband who was present added
that all his wife had said was true
and that he knew several others
whom Dr. Flower had cured in the
same manner.
Stephen H. F'urnace No. 24 Meadow
Bridge Road Richmond Va. said:
"Dr. R. C. Flowerof Boston has cured
me of a terrible case of paralysis and
rheumatism. My lower limbs were
helpless and my right arm nearly so.
By the assistance of friends I was
taken to see him on crutches. I was
very feeble could scarcely move. I
I had been given up by the best phy-
sicians in this country as incurable
and was expected to die. ab soon as
Dr. F'lower saw me he told me how
my troubles came upon me and what
diseases I had had in past life with-
out taking me a question better than
I could have told him. I began to
improve Immediately under his
treatment aud in a few months was
cured. 1 am enjoying excellent
health today."
John L. Bolts No. 308 South Laurel
street Richmond Va. said that he
had consumption a result of the
grippe and frequent colds; that one
lung had an abscess in it. The doc-
tors performed an operation and that
:e grew rapidly worse under it. He
hau wasted to a skeleton and was con-
fined to his bead. Besides be was
suffering from violent spasms which
frequently made him unconscious.
That he was given up as an incurable
and was waiting his death when as
Jast resort his family took him to
see Dr. R. C. flower upon
his visit to Richmond last spring.
At that time he could not walk
alone. That under the doctor's treat-
ment he began to improve Immedi-
ately. He soon stood erect something
he bad not done for a long time. That
he had gained in flesh and strength
and great vigor. The spasms had
stopped and that his friends did not
know him when they saw him now.
A grateful father indorsed all bis son
had said and stated "Had it not
been for Dr. Flower my boy would
h&ve been dead." "He is not like
other doctors" continued the father
"his cures are almost like miracles."
H. C. Lancaster ot Enterprise e). C
said "Mycure is considered oue of
the most wonderful ever made.
When 1 first visited Dr. R. C. Flower
I was a physical aud mental wreck
Had been given up as incurable and I
went to him as the very last resort.
"What was my condition? Why
sir I didn't have any condition. I
was perfectly helpless with muscular
rheumatism and narvous prostration.
I was confinud to my bed could noi
dress myself and everything I ate
caused me great suffering. I "utlered
greatly with my head had nearly
lost my Bight and could not bear the
light nor under any circumstmces
read .
" Well Dr. Flower has cured me.
I can read without glas.-es and with-
out hurting my eyes. Rhoumatism
all gone.
"Nerves? 1 don't know that I have
any.
"Cau eat anything I fancy without
hurting me. Have gained thirty
pounds and feel happy and well.
When l was taken to see the doctor
be told me my troubles how they
came upon me without asking me a
question. He is a marvel of brains
and skill to all who know him."
P. V. McHride 75 State St. Charles-
ton S. C . said: "My trouble was
paralysis of spine and limbs and ner-
vous prostration. I was physically
aud mentally a ruined man. I had
been doctored by several prominent
physicians who bad given my case up
and pronounced me incurable. As a
last and desperate resort I weut to see
Dr. R. C. FJower ot Boston who told
mo all about my troubles how they
came upon tn without a word from
me. I put myself under his care be-
gan to improve immediately aud to-
day my general health is perfect. My
spinels as strong a3 ever and my
limbs so improved that with little aid
I can walk for hours. I manage a
large business and attend to it ail day
long without fatigue.
"I tell you he is the most wonderful
man in his profession iu this world.
"He has no equal as a physician.
"He Is a pleasing and fascinating
gentleman and a man of great brains
and ability. His mental treatments
have done me great good as well as
the medicines.
M rs. C. H. Meyer 502 Broad street
Augusta Ga. said "I had been con-
fined to the house most of tbe time to
my bed lor a year past with what the
doctors Ciilled nervous prostratiou and
heart trouble. I could not walk across
the room without exhaustion end suf-
focation. My health and life had
been despaired of I could do nothing
and the doctors could do nothing for
me. In this terrible condition 1 went
to see Dr. R. C. Flower. Without my
saying a word he described most per-
fectly my every trouble. I put myself
under his care and in a few months
was entirely cured. 1 can now walk
a mile without any trouble and enjoy
the bestot health." "My husband"
continued Mrs. Meyer "was treated
by the doctor at the same time and
cured. He had been for years wast-
ing away nervous weak and inca-
paciated for businees. Suffering all
the time fom nervous dyspepsia. My
husband improved rapidly under his
treatment. He can now eat anything.
Has gained immensely in health and
strength and without difficulty is
manaeing his large and extensive
business enjoying in a high degree
most excellent health."
Mrs. J. D. Clarke Jonesboro Ga.
stated that when she went to see Dr.
R. C. Flower after trying numerous
physicians and having been in insti-
tutions for months at a time without
any relief; that she was suffering most
terribly from spinal trouble having a
double curvature of the spine. The
spine was in the shape of the letter
"B." "My head was drawn to one
side besides a large lump on the right
side of the spine. I had given up all
hopes of ever being any better. For
seven years before consulting Dr. R.
C. Flower I had worn a very heavy
bracp never going for a day without
it. Shortly after he began my treat-
ment the lump on the right side of
my spine disappeared. I laid the
brace off and have never had any use
for it since. I had never known what
it was to feel welj sinco I was 10 years
of age. Today I am well happy and
strong. I go anywhere and every-
where I wish without any difficulty
now and am as straight as an arrow.
I was also troubled severely with
rheumatism. I have no symptoms of
anything of the kind now. I never
felt so well in my life as I feel today.
I am one of the happiest women and
all my family are happy."

Mrs Ara Tread well No. 185 McAfee
street Atlanta Ga. said "When I
went to see Dr. R. C. Flower I was
using two crutches I had rheuma-
tism badly iud one of my hips was
disli cated. It was with difficulty I
could walk even with crutches. After
a mtie while under his treatment I
laid aside my crutcbei and took a cane.
"Now I can walk a mile and my
general health is perfect.
"Up to the time I began using his
medicines I had not walked for a year.
He is a tnosi wonderful man. His
diagnosis of the case is marvellous.
He tells you your trouble without ask-
ing you a question."
H. L. Hill Montezuma Ga. was
sfen: "I had been paraiyzed" said
Mr. Hill "for three years when I first
read of Dr. R. C. Flower and his pe-
culiar cures. I went to see him in
April last. I began to improve im-
mediately after I commenced his
treatment.
"My condition when I visited him

and but little use of the lower organs
of my body. I have gained In flesh

1 wish now without discomfort and' it
does not hurt me. None ot ua can say
enough in praise ot Dr. Flower as a
man aud physician" continued Mr.
Hill ks fie walked with me to the
door.
The above statements are from
prominent disinterested men and
women many of whom represent
large business interests leading fam-
ilies aud the best blood and chivalry
of the South. Men and women who
would not tell what was not true for
either health or life and consequently
establish beyond doubt the following
facts if human testimony is to be re-
lied upon.
FTrst that Dr. R. C. Flower by hie
keen intuitional perception caD most
accurately diagnose the disease of
anyone without being told.
Second that his curea are more
like miracles than ordinary cures and.
that his skill is so phenomenal as to
entitle him to the credit given him
for years at his home j; .
Third that because others have
failed it is no sign that this Boston
specialist cannot cure a desperate
case.
His specialties seem to be cancer
consumption tumor paralysis rheu-
matism heart and stomach troubles.
As one of his patients said "He hand- .
les these diseases as I would a play-
thing." Those who would know more about
his treatment of diseases both medi-
cally and mentally of his Ideas and
theories of health life happi-
ness 'hould send five 2c stamp"

For want of space we have only pub-
lished the statement ot a few of many
of the patients cured by Dr. R. C
Flowor but have endeavored to ee-
lect someone from the different cen-
tres of the South as far as we have
investigated. As a result of our ef-
forts we are convinced that Dr. R. C.
Flower as a healer bears a charmed
life and hrings with him to the sick
bed the magic wand of health and r
life.
