President Roosevelt lias defied tl rust*. The Senate has completed its anti-trust program. The Senior Senator from Ala bama may precipitate an extra ses sion. Senator Beveridge is in training for second place on the next nation al ticket. 1 lad there been an Elkins bill on the statutes the Standard Oil Trust could never have been formed. It is to be hoped that Secretary Hay's commission will settle for all time the Alaskan boundary dispute. .Minister Bowen's diplomacy has compelled Germany to show herself in her true colors in the Venezuelan case. The American people will con demn longer neglect of the Cuban treaty. It must be ratified if an extra session is required. President B:ter has made a pro position to the anthracite miners making the present wages the mini mum for the next three years. In the case of Tillman vs. Crum, Tillman wins first round. But President Roosevelt says he will keep Crum in training all summer. President Roosevelt has espoused the cause of the neoole of Alaska to the consternation of the corpora tions which practically rule that territory. Kvery patriotic American must condemn the action of the demo cratic senators it attempting to pre vent currency legislation for the Philippines. The democrats in the Senate would deny statehood to the four territories because of their selfish desire to eventually add to their own political strength. The general tendency of Gover uient work is to make a man strain at a misplaced comma while he un consciously swallows an erroneous statement of alleged facts. Presides Roosevelt has appointed Mr. C.irtelyou head of the Depart ment of Commerce for one reason, because the latter is in sympathy with the President's desire to con trol the trusts. President Roosevelt's diplomacy has obviated a clash between Sena tor Piatt and < Jovernor < klell. And yet some people say the President is a novice in politics. With George B. Cortelyou, aged 41, d, member of th«- Cabinet and Robert B. Armstrong, aged 29, Vssistant Secretary of the Treasury, the administration is demonstrat ing its belief in young men. No one familiar with the crowd ed condition of the national Cap itol will condemn the appropriation of funds for its completion and in creased accommodation for mem bers of the House. It is an evidence of a small mind to criticise the generous hospitality of President and Mrs. Roosevelt because it causes a slight increase in White lloufce expenditures.

The Monroe Doctrine is victorious; the Venezuelan blockade is raised. Vermont can now be called the spot ted state; it will be wet here and there. The coal dealers are now anxious to unload their stock before the ice man comes along. The Montana Legislature has voted down a measure providing for woman sufferage in that state. The opportunity of a life time came along, and Bowen had the courage to grasp it—Americans usually have. The coal miners are thinking of rais ing a §75,000 purse for John Mitchell. John would probably appreciate it. Rockafeller has withdrawn his offer for a new stomach. He has been re. ceiving too many calls from serious bidders. Tillman is afraid that he will not get a fair trial. He had a fair trial with his gun when he shot the well-known editor. The Mayor of Worcester, Mass., has vetoed the bill increasing his salary from $2,500 to SI,OOO. The people think he is crazy. Some kind of a compromise should be reached pretty soon on the state hood bill. Thus far we have only heard the wind blowing. According to a dispatch from Lon don, the first annual report of the Im perial Tobacco company shows a profit of $1,000,000. Smoke up ! A reduction in the retail price of anthracite to $6.50 a ton has gone into effect in the yards of the coal dealers throughout New York City. The legislatures of Oregon and Dela ware are still at work trying to agree on U. S. Senators, without having been able to weaken the deadlock. London has a new religious paper which ofiers a bottle of water from the j Jordan river to every person who will j see to it that six copies are sold. Au amendment to the federal bank- , ! ruptcy act has just become a law. It' 1 stops some of the leaks in the present ' | law, and for one thing denies persons j the right of taking advantage of bank- i j ruptcy oftener than once in six years. : A Russian artillerist alleges that ex i perimeuts in the Russian army have proved the use of yellow spectacles by gunners and riflemen enables them to shoot more accurately by thirty per cent, than when they use the naked eye, especially in variable light Hobson has resigned from the navy j but he continues to lecture on the nec essity of a larger navy. His work is telling, too. The New Jersey Legisla ture has just adopted a resolution call ing for a large navy and other states will soon follow her example. A bill has been passed by both houses providing for a new building for the agricultural department, to cost not more than $1,500,000. The present buildings are wholly inadequate for the work now conducted by this de partment. While the centre of population is not fur from Columbus, Ind., the centre of manufactures in this country is com puted to be 25 miles southeast of Mans j field, Ohio. It has moved west about I 40 miles in ten years, or much more | than the centre of population. The slump in the coal market has | come, and the prices are quite as likely | togo down below the level of a fair 1 profit as they were to arise to extor j tion. Householders will soon be liold j ing up their heads and demanding j coal at their own price. The great i coal "hold-up" is at an end. In his annual report President Eliot ! of Harvard University, created some thing of a sensation by what he said of I college men having so small families. That set some people to looking up President Eliot's record, with the re sult that they find he Is—a bachelor! The navy department has awarded contracts for two new 14,500 ton armor : ed cruisers, the Tennessee and the Washington, to cost $4,WW,000 each. One will be built by the Cramps at Philadelphia and the other by the New York Shipbuilding company, at ram den, N. J. A voluminous protest against the seating of Hon. Reed Hmoot, the new ly-elected senator from Utah, has been received by thu senate. It protests on the giound that he isa Mormon upuaiUtt ami that as ttueh he is bound to con sider his obligations to Moriuonism paramount to everything else. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1903. Pugilist Jeffries says that the chances are that he will not fight again until he and Pitzsimmons get back from their European sparring exhibition tour. They are to sail for Europe in June. Now if some of the other pugs would quit the country at the same time, we might have a quiet summer. It is authoritatively stated that President Roosevelt is satisfied with the anti trust legislation that will be passed at this session under the Senate program, and will not call an extra session of Congress to consider further legislation. That will give the country a rest until the new Congress comes in next December. Adjutant-General Corbin reports to Congress that there 118,000 organized militiamen in the national guards of the different states, who will be equip ped and disciplined in such a way as to be readily added to the regular army (maximum now 100,000) in case of war There are a total of 10,853,000 men in the country available for military duty, as a reserve.

A knowledge of the future would unmake happiness. There are, ol course, some things about the future we do know. If, for instance, a lack of energy, ambition and loss of appetite shows itself we know it will be followed by serious complaints if not checked. Often Liver and Kidney trouble followed r|uickly.

Business cares and conse quent nervous troubles told the story. He became alarmed, it i« Raid, and consulted a famous specialist. " I want some flesh," he said. " I am willing to pay for it. I'll give you SSOO for every pound of solid healthy flesh you can put on these bones." It was a big price, but he could well afford to pay it. For undue thinness is dangerous. It means disease, or the approach of disease. Cod liver oil has most always been prescribed for this condition. It has wonderful properties as a medicine,but itsdisagreeable grease and vile taste and smell make most people sick. We have long thought that something could be devised with cod liver oil as a basis that would arrest emaciation, promote nutri tion, stimulate digestion, aid in throwing off rheumatism, lung trouble, bronchitis, coughs, and prove a real body-building tonic reconstructor and flesh former. We have found it in Vinol (if you are interested call at the store and we'll tell you hozv we found it) and it certainly does the work. It is pleasant to take. If you are sick and thin, try Vinol. You can get your money back if it doesn't help you. _ L. TAGGART, HRHGUIBT. " H Rain and iwnt fcr"«\ \ \ \ > H have no effect oil JL VtrtCßT M ■ harness treated WMJ HC I\ A.
