An unfortunate qircumptance attending the tariff discussion is the resort to unfair criticism on the part of both friends and opponents of the Payne bill. There is too much tendency to exaggeration and misrepresentation. What is wanted by the public—what is needed or the country, is a candid statement of iaccs and a fair comment of inferences. The subject is too important or petty caviling, on partisan disputation. It concerns the living of millions and affects the prosperity of the nation. Let the truth be told and idle speculation cease. —South Bend Times. When one contemplates the national burlesque now showing in Washington under the direction of Cannon and Aldrich, legislative dramatists, in their presentation of the work of Playwright Payne, It is not easy to criticize the alarming lack of interest displayed by certain republican edi- • tors who recently saw' fit to criticise Champ Clark for his opposition to the final production of the grand spec- * tacular melodrama, “Revision.” Republican papers, perhaps, feel that , their silence is the only sort of en- i dorsement they can give to the con- 1 duct of their sort of patriots.—Columbia City Post. BOARD OF GUARDIANS TO MEET , I The Board of Children's Guardians will hold a special meeting at the library at seven o’clock this evening , and It is the desire that every member be present if possible. o MUST BE SOLD THIS WEEK The Suttles property in the southwest part of the city, has been advertised for sale for tw’o weeks past.

High mass was celebrated by Fr. George and during which the Passion was sung, assisted again by Frs. 'Wilken and Felix, as ( deacon and subdeacon. This is in memory of His bitter passion, which bu ta short while before the upblic who had acknowledged Him as their king now shouted to put Him to death.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST. The Awful Toll Collected by Consumption. If people could only understand that Catarrh is an Internal scrofula—that nothing applied externally does much good—they w ould not need to be warned so often about this fatal disease, whch, when neglected, invariably ends up in consumption, at the cost of millions of lives every year. Yet Catarrh is easily cured if the right treatment is employed. Catarrh Is caused by germs in the blood which circulate throughout the entire system. External remedies give but temporary ease. Although the effects are often seen in the form of pimples, rash, eczema or dry scaly skin, the trouble is internal, and can never be cured by external remedies. The only way to cure Catarrh is by employing a medicine which is absorbed and carried by the blood to ali parts of the system, so that the mucous membrane or internal lining of the body is thoroughly medicated, soothed, disinfected of germ matter, and the soreness healed. We have a .remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied and made Catarrh a specialty, and whose record of success was a cure In every case where his treatment was followed as prescribed. That remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that it will cure Catarrh in all its various forms, whether acute or chronic, that we promise to return every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where it fails to cure or for any reason does not satisfy the user. We want you to try Rexall MucuTone on our recommendation and guarantee. We are right here where you live, and you do not contract any obligation or risk when you try Rexall Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes. The prices are 50c. and sl. Very often the 50c. size effects a cure. Os course, in chronic cases a longer treatment is necessary. The average in such instances is three >I.OO bottles.
