EDITORIAL riENTION.
President Lincoln's walking
stick was sold recently at public
auction in New York for $145.
In order not to be outdone by
Panama, Colombia now offers to
give us the canal rights free. Too
late.
Senator Lodge has introduced a
bill in Congress barring out all im
migrants over 15 years old who
cannot read and write English.
The Dreyfus affair is about to be
reopened in France, owing to the
recent discovery of several forged
documenis used in tbe former
trials.
Senator Gorman's attitude on
the race question is not approved
'».y the Northern democrats, who
are now talking of Judge Parker,
Hearst or Olney for the democratic
nomination.
Senator Depew saj's lie would
like to see William Randolph
Hearst nominated by the demo
cratic party, but does not explain
that it is because he will be the
easiest man to beat.
William J. Bryan iecently took
lunch with Joseph Chamberlain,
but as the former colonel secretary
probably never read the common
er's remarks on the Boer War, he
did not appreciate the humor of
the situation.
Senator Morgan made a violent
attack on the President's Panama
policy and Senator Carmack tried
to radicule the Cuban reciprocity
bill, yet the democratic party does
uot dare oppose the Administra
tion in either of these measures.
Sautos-Dumont, the worlds most
successful aeronaut, is about to
start for America to make arrange
ments for the aeronautic competi
tion to be held at tbe St. Louis Ex
position. It is believed by many
that he will secure the first prize.
The Panama newspapers are
urging the new Government to oc
cupy all the islands near the coast
In the Caribbean Sea, as the United
Status might later be induced to
buy them for coaling stations
While Uncle Sam pays cash for
anything they have to sell, he will
be popular with the small Central
or South American republics.
Captain Hobson has prepared a
bill to be introduced in the House
which would make the United States
the greatest naval power in the
world. All that it requires is an
appropriation of $2,750,000,000.
Tbe naval hero fails to realize that
there is no good reason why the
United States should have the larg
est navy in the world.
During a short tour abroad Wil
liam J. Bryan will study the social
and economic questions of Eng
land, Germany, France and Italy.
He will publish in his paper the
results of his study, and his fol
lowers will doubtless regard him
a« the first authority on foreign
affairs. The "peerless leader"
will probably publish lots of advice
to Secretary Ilay on questions of
European diplomacy.

The Way to Suppress Uoodling.
• The Pittston "Uuzette."
'l'he Philadelphia "Press" hits the nail
sijuarely on the head in its editorial com
ment on Congressman Palmer's recent
declaration against the buying ot politi
cal nominations, when it says:"lt the
citizens of the county who feel as Mr.,
Palmer does and who have equal cour
age in declaring themselTeß,»rill take this
matter up and organize to put a stop to it
by every means known to the law, the
barter and sale of votes in conventions
and elections will be made so dangerous
that none will dare attempt. The work
should not stop with opposition to those
who purchase nominations. A tew con
victions and proper punishment will go
farther and last longer." True, every
word of it. Mere talk ou boodling is
idle, except insofar as it stirs up honest
minded citizens to determined legal action
against the men who buy and sell votes.
Boodling will continue until a few of the
boodlcrs are landed behind bars. Then
the business is recognized as dangerous
and will become unpopular.

Millionaires' Poor Stomach.
The worn-oat stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in the
public prints as a horrible example of
the evils attendant on the possession of
great wealth. Bat millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. Tbe proportion is
far greater among the toilers. Dys
pepsia and indigestion are rampant
among these people,and they suffer far
worse tortures than the millionaire on.

of the gentler sex: "There is gladness

there is sadness in her sadness when
she's sad; but the gladness of her glad
ness and the sadness of her sadness
are nothing to her madness when she's
mad."

Ashburn, Ontario, Testifies to the Good
Qualties of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy.
Ashburnuam, Ont, April 18, 1903
I think it is only right that I should tell,
you what a wonderful effect Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has produced. The'
day before Easter I was so distressed
with a cold and cough that I did not
think to be able to take any duties the
next day, as my voice was almost choked
by the cough, The same day I received
an order from you for a bottle of . your
Cough Remedy. lat once procured a
sample bottle, and took about three doses
of the medicine. To my great relief the
cough and cold had completely disappear
ed and I was able to preach three times
on Easter Day. I know that this iapid
and effective cure was due to your Cough
Remedy. I make this testimonial without
solicitation, being thankful to have found
such a Godsent remedy.
Respectfully yours,
E. A. LANGFELDT, M. A..
Rector of St. Luke's Church.
