The loss of Germany's meat purchases from iliis country, contemplated by the proposed German tariff, will seriously in jute the export meat trade of this country, reducing it twen-ty-five per cent. It is to be hoped that the injury can be averted by the exercise of wise Statesmanship on the part of Grman leaders but if it cannot the Uunited States will undoubtedly be driven to the adaption of retaliatory legislation. Thin: would cripple Germany far more than the proposed German tariff affects this country and would probably have the ultimate result of bringing that country to terms. It is hoped, however, that such measures will not become necessary.
To the pure all things are pure. The W. C. T. U. should reremember this before taking up once more the protest against hanging the painting "Loire and Life" in the White house. If, however, the women ciaii't be convinced that the picture is riot debasing they ought to consider that so long as it is Itiillg up in the White house, it won't debase anybody except the httie Eooseveltsj. whereas if it is returned to the Cordqran Art Gallery ifc'^vjgl continue t'| corrupt the unsuspecting lie. j$ 4
The Indianapolis Sentinel in its exchange column jollies the Tcrre Haute Gazette by calling It a Republican paper. Just bccause the Gazette sings rather low in politics is no reason lor doubting its loyaltySAo thq'iDemocratic party. Owing to certain peculiar conditions the-local party leaders have enforced a passi.yeness in the coluitms of the paper which is far from being felfe-by its owners.

T§jSc South BctkI Tribune. isiin^av.or of the city police department ownipg ii pacj£ of''j|logd hunds .to trait fugitive, crircShals, alleging that had hounds been placed on the trail of thefpiurdercrs'of Kooiisman' a* little' sooner than they Were ihejp'would have landed the guilty parties. This is probably infc&niatiori from tlie owner-, of the dogs that failed. There is always some excuse. And^ there--.always has to be, for the blofcl hounds never succeed. These.,(logs have been bred extenfively in Indiana for over ten years and have on nutnberlessfbccasions been called "into requisition. But if there is a 6inJ[e instance on record where the detection of guilty pnrtiesfthas been due to them. The Tribune has not heard of it. On pie contrary it has heard of several cases where the dogs materially assisted the flying--criminals by leading their pursue® on false trails. Other "instances can be cited where theflhave brought entirely innocent parties .-under temporary SKswrion. The blood hound isn't even a good rabbit dog, although when taken out to ran dowh criminals he shows an espilial fondness for yelping for hours along the track of thetStartled cotton tail.
coroner of Marion county is' evidently a. thrifty individ$M. According to the Indianapolis papers he has sent word to all the counties of the, state that he will pay the express changes on the bodies of all the unidentified dead and paupers thajj|are sent to him at Indianapolis. It is argued that the counties will thus be sa,yed the expense of burying such per-sonj£-and that- medical colleges by acquiring the cadavers will be relieved of the necessity of buying stolen bodies. This is all true, but it is reasonable to suppose that the coroner will not-turn such bodies over to the medical college for nothing. They are woriu money and he differs from the average of his fellow citizens if he isn't after all he can get. In addition to paying express charges he should offer "a grand premium' to the county, seeding in the. most cadavers during the year and minor premiums consisting of vases, carviiig sets, Bhofe guns, sets of Shakespeare, crayon portraits and other detectable allurements to the sender of any corpse "said sender to have his choice of premiums' from our handsomely illustrated catalogue, for which send a two cent stamp."'

^r^ THE WIDE WORLD ROUND.
Not a Fair Prosp'ecC
The Democratic party has no fair prospect of carrying the next presidential election. Something extraordinary must happen to effect such changes aa will be necessaij The New York World printsa table showing that, if the eiecuona of last month had bene for a president, and the vote had been cast as it was cast as related to parties, there would have been 318 Republican electors chosen, and 158 Democratic electors, a Republican majority of 160. Mr. McKinley's1 majority in the electoral college in 1900 w'as 137. Thefe has been ah increase of 29 electors^
HotV fciMl the Demoetatic pkrty hope to effect the changes required to overcome -this enormous propondera/ice 1 Can any Democrat tell? There is no chance that we can discern, except by an industrial cataclysm, or by the commission by the Republicans of some heinous' and revolting folly.
In order td win the lfemoc.*iat9 must gain from the Republicans, on the basis of the last election. 81 electoral votes. Whei-e are they to be had? In the elections that resulted in the choice of Cleveland, the Democratic party carried th four stats iong classed as doubtful New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Indiapa, They were carried also for Tilden in 1876. Altogether, thesfe state will haVe in 1904 but 73 electors. If the Democratic candidate gets them all, in addition to the state's carried last month, he would still be eight votes short of the number .required to elect. There is not a remote probability, acording to present indications, that all these four states can be carried for a Democratic candidate two years hence but if they could be they are not enough. It must be taken into account, also, that Rhode Island, which this year i£ 'counted in the Democratic column, will not be there in a presidential year. Where are the states that the Democrats may reasonably hope to gain? Who can name a sufficient number to overcome the heavy odds against the party
And yet there hare been in our history revolutions of public sentiment so great that it would 'be unsafe to say Democratic sueess two years hence is impossible, although nobody but a rainbow chaser can now have any confidence of it. It is not a matter that depends upon the nomination of Mi\ Roosevelt. He may become extremely unpopular before the Republican cbnvention is held and lose his grip on the governing forces.
1
In that case all the convention resolutions passed
last summer would cease to have binding authority. A way would be found to disregard them. Whether another nominee would be really a stronger is a matter about which present speculation is idle.
On the other hand, ^ivho is there to tally the Democratic party for victory if an opportunity should open before it? How rapidly can the policy of reconciliation and consolidation be prosecuted? Can the party be mobilized in condition for an offensive campaign, even if its enemy falls into confusion and suffers temporary demoralization? The signs of it are not encouraging.
The Fo6t and Mouth Disease.
The appearance of the foot and mouth disease among cattle in the N^ew England states lia8 made strict quarantine regulations a prime necessity. The great interests at stake in home and foreign markets argue in favor of promptness and efficiency of method. The contagiousness oif the disease is well recognized by all veterinary authorities and is apt to extend its baneful influences over large territories whenever the slightest communication with infected herds is possible.
Tlie malady is an eruptive fever attended with the appearance of small blisters on the tongue, in the nostrils and mouth and on tho.se pa.rts of the body least covered with hair, preferably around the feet and udder.
The sources of infection are the saliva and the contents of the vesicles, which find their way into the food and drink of the animals and even contaminate the road ways over which the diseased beasts may travel.
In certain epidemics the mortality is large and in others comparatively small. ,.jt jjf'J l*hem ost serious features are the large number of victims, the rapidity of the spread of the disease and the long time required for t(ucitantine. Not only cows, but sheep and pigs ane susceptible to the contagion.
The first symptoms axe loss of appetite, with p&in and weakness of the limbs and fever. The -secretion of mild is early reduced, and there is loss of flesh and spirit. Soon the eruptions appear, when the diagnosis of the general trouble is easily made.
In times sf epidemic it goes without the saying that herdsmen should be on the lokout for the slightest manifestation of dis ease, and should promptly notifv the cattle bureaus. Everything now depends upon the ability to stamp Out the disease at its very beginning.

ElG«T-HOUtt BILL. NOW iN SHAPE

TERMS FINALLY AGREED ON
Minority'Report Wiill Likely Bet Presented Against the Measure When It Is Reported Tomorrow.^
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—The eight hour labor law bill, -which has been pending before the senate committee on labor since last May,- has been finally agreed upon. The measure, as it will be reported to the senate, is based upon tlte bill as it passed the house, but it has been so changed and amended that the original advocates will hardly recognize it. The measure will be reported to the senate on Saturday by Senator McConias. The bill was passed through the committee by a majority vote, and a minority report "will undloubtedly be presented.
An amendment offered at the instance of laborers employed on g6vernmeht work strikes out the limitation whfich in the house bill prevents them from working more than eight hours in any one calendar day.
Another amendment compels the inspec tore to furnish the names of the labor ers or mechanics violating the eight hour stipulation, and the day of such violation and limits the violation to the contractor and sub-contractors, sttiking out their agents and employes. The provision forbidding a rebate or remittance of penalties imposed under this act is also stricken out and a new provision is added giving the contractors and the sub contractors the right of appeal to the head of the department making the coft tract who is given power to review the case, and a further appeaJ is granted to the court of claims.
That section relating to the purchase of materials usually bought in open market is amended to read, "such materials or articles as may usually be bought in open market," with the additional amendment., "or for the purchase of supplies by the government, whether manufactured to conform to particular specifications or not.'^
LYNCH IN TOWN
Visitor Says He Is a Cousin of Colonel Arthur Lynch the Irish-Boer Leader.
Mr. James M. Lynch, who claims to be a nephew of Colonei Arthur jjyrich',- an Irish member of parliament, was registered at the New National hotel last night. Mr. It^nch stated in an- interview that he ^id not know any one here, but just thought that he would drop off and see the town. He a^jfs that hje has made many journeys to different parts of the world With his Illustrious urvple, and displays a small-handled jack knife which he claims was presented to him by a little Boer gtrl in South Africa.
Few People Realize the Importance of Good Digestion Until It Is L6st. Many people suffer from dyspepsia and do not know it. They feel mean, out of sorts, peevish, do not sleep well, do not have a good keen appetite, do not have the inclination and energy for physical or mental work they once had, but at the same time do not feel any particular pain or distress in the stomach. Yet all this is the result of pooit digestion, an insidious form of JJyspepsia which can only be cured by a remedy specially intended to cure it and make the digestive organs act naturally and properly digest the food eaten. Bitters, after dinner pills and nerve tonics will never help the trouble they don't rftach it. The new medical discovery does. It is called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is a specific for dyspepsia and indigestion. It cures because it thoroughly digests all wholesome food taken into the stomach, whether the stomach is in good working order or not.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by digesting the food, instead of making the worn-out stomach do all the work, gives it a much needed rest and a cure ot dyspepsia is the natural result
When you are nervous, run down aricl sleepless, don't make the common mistake of supposing your nervous system needs treatment and fill your stomach with powerful nerve tonics which make you feel good for a little while .only to fall back farther than ever. -T?"
Your nerves are all right, but. they are starved, they want foou. Nourish them with wholesome everyday food and plenty of it well digested, and you can laugh at nerve tdnicis and medicine.
But the nerves will not be nourished from a weak, abused stomach, but when, the digestion has been made perfect by the use of this remedy aH nervous symptoms disappear.
Who ever heard of a man or woman blessed with a vigorous digestion and good appetite being troubled with their .nerves? •t
Good, digestion means a strong nervous systeffij abundance of energy and capacity to enjoy the good things of life.
Stunt's Dyspepsia Tablets will certainly set youf stomach and digestive orgcins right they can't help but do it because they nourish the body by digesting the food^ eaten, and .rest the stomach. --.-.-"'.v

NO
Say the Demand Cannot Be Supplied 4. Nor Can the Prices Be:-,. s/ Reduced.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 19.—Officials of the Reading railroad company hold out no hope for relief in the anthracite coal stringency this winter, despite the efforts of the company to mine and ship to its full capacity. "Under normal conditions," said one of the officials, /'the anthracite production is never equal to the demand during the winter onths, and the Reading and all the other rnthracite companies have been obliged to draw upon the stock at various storage points to help out the demands of the trade. This year there is not a pound of coal at any of these storage points and consumers are dependent entirely upon the daily output of the mines. The big dealers in New England, who usually have in stock at this season of the year from 50,000 to 100,000 tons, are bare of coal and dependent entirely upon what is being Bhipped to them by the various companies."
An operator who attended the meeting of the operators in New York stated that the advance would be retained during all of next year.
Famine Causes Disease
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—A material increase in the cases of pneumonia and severe colds among the people of this city is attributed to the ctoal famine, according to a number of physicians interviewed today. They say that in most of the houses they visit only a few of the rooms are heated. Even in many of the homes of the well-to-do residents furn aces have had to be abandoned. Tlie price of hatd coal from the independent operators today was $12 a ton. Soft coal at retail brought $8 a ton and many of the dealers are unable to funiisheVen small lots to regular customers.
