Bryan-Belmont controversy is

not likely to result in more than an item of interest to the ubiquitous news gatherers. A slight difference of opinion between a couple of party leaders is not going to disrupt the democratic party. Those, who believe so, have evidently forgotten that people are doing some thinking for themselves in these days. Principles, and not men, will receive the consideration, of the voter. As a leader embodies these principles, just so large will be his following.

YOU Dodge Them

Did you ever try to dodge the rain-drops Did not succeed very well, did you? It's just as useless to try to escape from the germs of consumption. You can't do it. They are about us on every hand and we are constantly taking them into our lungs.

Then why don't we all have this disease? Simply because these germs cannot gain a foothold in a strong throat and lungs. It's when these are weak that the germs master.

The body must be well supplied with fat. The danger comes when the blood is poor and the body is thin. If your cough does not yield, and your throat and lungs feel raw and sore, you should not delay another day. Take

Scott's Emulsion

of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophosphites at once. It will heal the inflamed membranes and greatly strengthen them as well. The digestion becomes stronger, the appetite better and the weight increases. The whole body becomes well fortified and the germs of consumption cannot gain a foothold.

It's this nourishing, sustaining and strengthening power of SCOTT'S EMULSION that has made it of such value in all wasting and exhausting diseases.

I honor, and often a disgraceful death. When a soldier dies in open, honorable battle he has but met the fortune of his profession. But the man who undertakes the hazardous mission of a spy reaps little reward from his own and execration from those whom it is his duty to betray. Such was the unhappy lot of Harry Hulier who spied and died for his country. His body has been found cut to pieces by the insurgents. This is one of the crudest things in cruel war—a stern necessity in the dreadful game of blood and death.

vent the total destruction of our forests. A tax on timbered land, from which could be derived no income, equal to that on cultivated lands necessarily compelled the removal of the trees. The owners were forced to put the land in condition to yield a return. The sweeping climatic changes which follow a general removal of timber are a menace to agricultural interests, such as deserves earnest attention. It is to be hoped that the new law will encourage the preservation of the remaining forests and the cultivation of new ones.

I were required to name the great menace to our national life,

The keynote to a great truth has been struck in this brief sentence. The vast opportunity for gaining wealth which exists in this country and the intense and all-absorbing desire for money thereby engendered, threatens to assume a cancerous character which will gnaw at the very vitals of our national life. The one idea of money getting, centering ever upon itself, excludes all thought of the things that are high and noble, and that give true worth and dignity to a nation. The balance between the various social elements must be maintained or degeneration sets in. The mercenary spirit is the one most earnestly to be guarded against by the American people. It is that which has made us the subject of much adverse criticism in Europe, although the people by whom we are judged are by no means typical Americans. The growth of that spirit is the danger. It is possible to avoid it, and the duty of holding before the people higher things lies upon the pulpit and the press. The saving: grace is education 011 that point.

We understand that this was necessary for the protection of American and British subjects. The complications thereby arising with the German Empire are of the gravest character. WThat form of peace or war may be hidden behind the cloud of smoke resting over Apia, no man may tell. Certain it is, that whatever it may be, the people of America will meet it it with the courage of their race. It is too soon to judge of the questions of right or wrong. But one thing is plain, that our representatives are far from home, and the question of their right to be there is an open one. It is simply one of the results of the events of the past few months. We are borne upon a tide that carries us far from all the moorings of the past.

They are interested in question." Every good Democrat, in fact, every good citizen, should be interested in the Philippine question. The correspondent seems to think that is I no money question outside of the lt' I to 1 ratio. We will admit that we are interested in the Philippine question, because it is a money question. 1 his is a question which goes after the: pocketbooks of the people. It is one of the costliest experiments the nation has ever had a hand in. It means in creased army, navy, civil officials, red tape, jobs, stealages, and all these things which follow in the wake of colony planting, subduing wild races and civilizing, humanizing, Christianizing, harmonizing and pulverizing necessary to beat into the skull of a South Sea Islander the information that the white man is supreme boss of the planet. All these things may be interesting enough to the savage upon whom a government is operating with

Ivrag-Jorgensen rifles, heavy artillery and well sharpened swords, but where are we interested? Why in paying the bills. This is a money question and a very important one. The correspondent should study the question, there is more in it than he thinks. It is indeed a money question, and we will begin to feel it very soon indeed, as a burden.

•'Lost in New York."

Presented at Music Hall Tuesday night. April 4, is one of the most amusing productions. It is overflow ing with wit, full of clever situations and holds the audience during the entire play. First must lie mentioned the performance of Miss Addie Sharp, as the child waif: Jennie Wilson though but a young girl, she ha good conception of the part. Her elocution is superb. Another unusual impersonation is that of the tramp William O. Johnson. Miss Edith Cor by, who interprets the part of Caro line Peabody, Queen of the Black mailers, is far above the average seen in such parts.

Scrap at Convention.

At a Sunday school convention at Vincennes, a few days ago the ques tion of card playing came up for discussion. The discussion provoked personalities and the personalities precipitated a row. One woman with more zeal than discretion commenced pointing out numerous church mem bers in the audience who were guilty This was followed by counter charges until the convention was likely to develop into a Killkenny row. Open charges of gambling were made. But at last a compromise was reached and a resolution passed that all would quit the business.
