probable that the same mail will carry

Mr. Haie. i present a newspaper report of the speech of Hon. J. G. Can

non, delivered at Kansas City, Mo., Friday, November 26, 1900. I . move that the report be printed as a document (S. Doc. 163). The motion was agreed to.

Page 38, Vol. 45, Congressional Record: "Mr. Carter. I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record and also as a Senate document the address of the President of the United States in Winona, Minn., September 17, 1900. The Vice-President. Is there objection to the request of the senator from Moctrna? Mr, Bacon. We on this side could not hear what it is. Mr. Carter. The request is for the printing in the Record and also as a document of the address delivered by the President of thej United States at Winona, Minn., September 17, with reference to the action taken by Congress on the tariff. The Vice-President. The Chair hears no objection, and the order will ie entered.

THE WHITE DEATH The following communication from Dr. Hurty, of the State Board of Health, scarcely needs comment. It is a year and over until the legislature ran start the maintenance of the institution which can save so many lives. "The state hospital for consumptives, now being constructed at ttockville. Parke county, will be finished about April 1st and ready ?o receive patients. But here is the awful thing about it. There is no money for conducting it. The Ways and Means committee of the last legislature refused to recommend the appropriation of a maintenance fund. In consequence, the life-saving station at Rockville -. must remain closed until the next legislature meets, unless about 50,000 can be raised, either by unsecured loan to the state or unless this sum is contributed. It is calculated that the state hospital for consumptives will save from o to 300 "lives annually, and in doing this good work, will teach people how to live so as not to have consumption. This is a most important matter for consumption is brought on by wrong living. "Already a number of generous men have offered to advance the $,TO,000 without interest and without security, if the governor will recommend its repayment in his next message to the legislature. The governor is looking into the matter, as he certainly should do. and will, if consistent in all ways, make the recommendation." The average citizen will ask what this means to this part of Indiana. The reports from the State Board of Health

show the mortality for October for the central sanitary section. The reader will notice that tuberculosis, a preventable and curable disease, heads the list: Central Sanitary Section. Total population 1.0Sn,SlS Total deaths 1,17' Death rate per 1,000 12.7 Consumption, rate per 100,000. . .10&2 Typhoid, rate per 100,000 ... 68.2 Diphtheria, rate per 100,000 27.-) Scarlet fever, per 100,000 7.5 Diarrboeal diseases, per 100,000. . 40.S " ' Bees were unknown to the Indians, but thev werft brousrht over from "En sr.

JIM, THE PEACE MAKER "Blessed is the peace maker!" We are told by sundry newspaper correspondents at the seat of the national government, that the Hon. James E. Watson, "Our Jim," has arrived on the scene of action in Washington, with high minded intentions. He is the chosen man to settle all the trouble between the Insurgents and the "Regulars." It even appears that Mr. Watson is going to ask Uncle Joe as a personal favor to him, and for the benefit of those congressmen who are going to have difficulty in re-election to fade gently from the political horizon! Nay, more than that, Uncle Joe is going to retire on account of his . advanced age, owing to Jim's solicitude about his health. The fact will not escape the reader that out of all this mass of interesting information the point is sure that Mr. Watson has arrived in Washington. Mr. Watson appears like the god from the machine in the Greek drama, with the laurels and ointments still fresh from his speech making at the banquet of the Indiana society in Chicago, fresh for what ever Tate destiny may will him as a solution of many tangled affairs. Indeed, it will not escape the ordinary observer from afar, that Mr. Watson was once Whip of the House. Mr. Cannon's Whip. It will also be remembered that in the special session of Congress Mr. Watson was of great assistance in his "pacifying" act when the agitation was abroad in the land even insurrectionary, for the dethronement of Josephus Rex. At a little later date he was of vital help in the tariff legislation to Mr. Dwight, his understudy, who had not yet taken on his new duties as Whip, so lately vacated by Our Jim,

Whence comes this ardent desire to pacify the troubled waters? The Insurgents, are they suing for peace? No one has noticed it. And it has not been long since Joe Cannon delivered himself of some warring .words down at the Knife and Fork Club in Kansas City. (Printed as a Senate document this last week.) Indeed, it must be glorious sport for Mr. James E. Watson, now a rentier, as the French happily express it, living off the income of his plantation of railroad ties, so lately acquired, to enlist himself in the cause of peace. Of course, Mr. Watson does not belong to that class mentioned in the President's message as those "whose yearly compensation does not expand with the improvement in business and the general prosperity" but then, at the New Willard in Washington, buttermilk and club sandwiches do not come high. Even ortalans are moderate. It is fortunate that the farm which grows the railroad ties so luxuriantly, can supply all Mr. Watson's modest tastes and needs while he is engaged in his heaven-sent mission of peace making. This time Mr. Watson will not be bothered by the somewhat intricate business of handing out the committee appointments, and can devote all his time to the pacific trade winds. If Mr. Watson keeps up his present clip he will be made an honorary vice president of the American Peacs Society next to President Andrew Carnegie or will be sent to the Hague Tribunal.

Hems Gathered in From Far and Near

A Safe Economy. We don't know what the peacemak

ers will think or say. Their occupation is gone) for the time at least. There are no plans for the building of new battleships in the naval estimates. There will be disappointment in some tall towers wherein a call for a new

battle ship has always served as mate

rial for columns of wrath, served on

the installment plan. From these same eminences issued the thunderous denunciations of the trip of the battleship fleet around the world. That historical voyage was denounced as a bluff; an attempt to overawe, which would arouse the resentment of all civilized mankind. There are those who

will see in the cutting out of new battle-ship estimates from the naval

budget an effect of which the battleship fleet trip was a cause. But this will never be glimpsed in the tall towers where the white doves are kept which are released through the open

windows whenever an editor looks out and sees a white cloud on the horizon which his imagination can magnify into a war cloud.

Many of these agitators are honest

in their convictions and these we must respect. If they were equally ready to respect the views of others who think, with equal honesty, and with no

greater wish for war, that as the world now stands the surest guarantee of peace is a preparation and a state of preparedness for its dread alternative, they would be less irritating than they are. Until there is general consent to disarmament the nation which allows itself to fall too far behind in military equipment is inviting disaster, or, if not disaster, humiliation, which is in

itself a disaster to any people. Costly armaments serve, too, another purpose than the one of defense. When the tale of bricks is too heavy to be borne, Moses comes. When the cost of armaments increases to a point where it i grievous in all nations, enlightened opinion will force the general disarmament now so loudly called for. The thing will not be done before then. The nation which would take the initiative would be inviting war. It is not that the tale of bricks has grown so heavy as to cause revolt in public opinion that we have stopped battle-ship building for the moment. In responding to the public -demand for greater economies in administration, it has been found that the United States, following the great demonstration of its naval strength and craft, and because of its comparative isolation and the fact that it is now at work on new ships to be added to its battle fleet, could suspend expenditures in that way without inviting risk or giv

ing rise to misunderstanding in any of the capitals of Europe or of Asia. The policy may be misunderstood in the tall towers. Flights of whits doves may be released from high, windows to herald an assumed surrender at Washington to a growing American demand for disarmament. But they will know better abroad.

An Illinois farmer presents the country with an almost cobless corn. The new corn is described as having each kernel growing on the parent stem instead of adhering to a cob. The Illinois grower says that he eliminated the cob by taking the tip of each ear, and setting only the very top kernels, and shortly expects to evolve a perfectly cobless corn.

Money Saved Through Anty Drudge. Mrs. Youngwife (at telephone) "Hello Harry, you don 'i need to order those new tablecloths and napkins al Blashman's after all. Anty Drudge came in this morning and showed me how Fels-Naptha soap would take the stains out of the old ones. They're as clean and white as new now." Anty Drudge "You just keep on using Fels-Naptha, Deary, and it'll save you buying lots of things everything you wash will wear so much longer. It'll save your health and beauty, too."

Stains are the great trial of a woman .vho does the family wash in the old way. Coffee stains, fruit stains, egg stains, occa;ionally blood stains, and many others which defy all ordinary soaps and hard rubbing as well. In despair, the housewife boils the clothes until their fibre is softened and weakened, but even then the shadows of the stains remain. Such stains are easy for Fels-Naptha toap. They are but minute particles of ;olored matter clinging to threads of the sloth. The Fels-Naptha dissolves them into tiny atoms which can't cling to anything. A rinsing separates them from the clothes entirely. The stain is gone, leaving the clothes clean, white and pure. And mind you, all this is done in cold or lukewarm water, without boiling or hard rubbing. Fels-Naptha does not in the slightest degree harm the fibre of the cloth

as boiling does. No other soap, no matter

iwhat it is called, will take out stains without boiling. Be sure to get the genuine
