Malletoa Tanu as King, instead of lee

The trial had lasted eleven (lavs;

son of the Into King rtlalletoa, and

A tonic is a medicine that gives tone
to ome part of tho system. There nie
different kinds of tonics, but the tonlj
most needed In this country, ihor
i atarrh Is so prevalent. Is n tonic that
operates on tho mucous membranes.
Peruna Is a tonlo to the mucous
membianes of tho whole body. It gives
tone to tho eapillarv circulation which
((institutes these delicate membranes.
Kveiy organ of the buinnn bodv Is
lined with mucous membranes. This
niembiano is mnde up. principally, of
a delicate netwnik of minute blood
ose!s and nerves. Tho slightest de
rangement of these fragile vessels
leads to what Is known ns catarih.

PENNSY'S GOSSIP
OF WASHINGTON
BEPUBLICAN FINANCIAL BILL
MATERIALLY IMPROVED.
A Woid Concerning the Puerto
Bican Tailff Question An Expla
nation of the President's Policy
Toward Our New Citizens The
Constitution in the Way Justice
Will Be Guaranteed the Pueito
Bicans.
Spedul Correspondence ot The Tilbune.
Washington, D. C March 1. Reflec
tion and conference hae materially
Improved the Republican financial bill.
It will speedily become a law. That
single enactment, should congress ad
journ today, would secure the le-elec-tlon
of a "Republican president and a
Republican congress. Xobody doubts
the courage and patriotism of the
American people In the settlement of all
public questions affecting the valor and
manhood of the country. If It Is a
question of war, we are not ufrald o
the world. The nation doesn't live on
the face ot the globe that can whip us.
An insult to our flag means that one
million of the best and bravest men on
earth uro ready to resent It.
Kvetybody knows the American
policy In the final adjustment of our
iclatlons and responsibilities In con
nection with Puerto Rico nnd the Phil
ippines, and, ultimately, Cuba that the
American principle of fair play and ex
act Justice will prevail. But every body
does not agree about the financial
policy of the government. A man Is
either a coward, a tialtor or an Ameri
can. They all, or nearly all, are Ameil
c.ms when It Is a matter of defending
the flag.
Hut when It Is a question ot money,
u question of debt paying, a question of
what an honest dollar means, or n
question ot commercial prowess.a ques
tion of-natlonal development and pro
gress, a question ot keeping pace with
the other great powers of the wot Id,
tho air Is full 'ot Democratic protest,
woe and lamentation. The one ques
tion of all questions, that ought to have
ubsolute Immunity from all partisan,
sectional or political agitation, is made,
through the blindness, stupidity or des
peration of Democratic politicians, a
great national Issue. The people are
honest. They know that a Republican
dollar means an honest dollar. They
know, now, it never before, that a
Democratic-Populist dollar means dis
credit and repudiation, low wages and
high prices. That has been demon
strated. The apprehension that Biyanlsm
might dominate the country, to its
everlasting dishonor and bankruptcy,
elected Mr. McKinley. They were
llg-ht in 1896. They will vote the same
way in 1900. The financial bill of this
congress materially minimizes the pos
sibility of any radlcul upheaval for
years and generations to come; but It
will take just one more decisive Re
publican victory to stop a harmful
agitation of the question. The country
wants to know that It Is settled, and
honestly settled, and settled for nil
lime. They are tired of the long-haired
doctrinaires, and the short-haired
calamity howlers. They live on panics;
and there will bo no more panics under
this bill. Inflations and stringencies
ought now to be a thing of the stormy
past. No more Wall Street bogles! There
ought to be, under this bill, enough
money In circulation, based on the gold
standard, to satisfy even tho greedy
ancf rapacious Populist, whoso wall. Ilko
the horse leech. Is more, more!
Twenty-soven millions will be added
to the bank note circulation, under tho
Authority to issue note circulation to
the par value of government bonds.
About eighty millions will be paid out
by the government under the lefundlug
feature of the bill. As heie Is circula
tion, money unshackled and let loose,
not Inflation, abundantly sufllclent to
meet uny exigency that may happen in
the administration of our fiscal affairs,
what moie does any honest man, any
laboring man, any farmer, any manu
facturer, any man or people engaged In
Industrial enterpilse want. A stable
circulating medium of ample sufli
clency to meet all demands. The agita
tion of this question has been muie dls
tructlve to the material Interests of the
country than a war. It has destioyed
enterprise, paiulyzed business, demor
alized Investment, bnnkiupted honest
people, and subjected the nation to dis
credit and contempt.
Hut it is all over now. The Republi
can party has settled It. It has re
deemed Its pledge to the people. And
In so doing It has compelled the confi
dence of the honest voteis; and that
means a gieat Republican vlctoiy lu
1900.
Pl'ERTO HICAN QUESTION.
Whatever may bo tho shortcomings
of the Republican party, It never lacks
the cohesive power of final uctlon on
party measures. Tho simple consider
ation Involved In tho discussion at this
time of the Puerto Rlcan question was
one of expediency. Wat the adminis
tration or congresi pieparcd to con
sider the new conditions precipitated
by tho acquisition of that country?
Had the ptesident'H fue trade rolloy
In connection with Puerto Rlcan pro-
ducts prevailed, It would have been
meaningless and utteil without sig
nificance as Indlcitliu: a chance ot
sentiment on the gcneial tariff policy
of the Republican pnity. The presl
dent wanted to be genet ous and lib
eral with these people, who had suf-
feicd so much and so long. He was
disposed to elevate tho question above
the common plane of cio's roads poli
tics. There is a difference between
Spanish Intolerance ami tyianny and
Amexlcan statesmanship
Heie was an oppoituuity for u piac
tical demonstiatlon to the woild that
the republic was big enough und hon
est enough and fair enough to do what
was right and Just In this matter. Rut
the constitution was In tho way1 The
pirty that fought desperately four
yeais ago to destroy It now bewail the
tendency of tho party that preserved
It. to ignoie and dlstoit It. So that
the grave question of allowing the
Puerto Rlcans such government protec
tion as would enable them to overcome
a century of Impoverishment and pre
pare them to meet existing and appre.
hended exigencies, was considered
from tho lowest piano of soup-house
politics.
All that saved the dlecusslon in tho
house this week from the most offen
sive reproach and discredit was the
general nbllity, agreeably obvious, In
an uncommon academic debate. Many
of the speeches were much above tho
average and showed a rurprlslng fa
miliarity with constitutional history.
But all this talk amounts to little or
nothing in practical politics. The Re
publican party will settle these ques
tions, big or little, orlplnal nr com
monplace, and settle them to the per
fect tatlsfactlon ot tho whole countrj.
Where the American (lug Is concerned
tho people will trjst tho Republican
party In the futuio us It has done In
tho past whether It "floats over the
whole republic. ,in the Occident as well
as the Oilent. over tho Peail of the
Antilles anil the thousand islands near
far-off Cathay, upon land and sea,
over sehoolhouse and chinch, the em
blem of integrity and good faith, of
llbcity and freedom, of tho Inestima
ble advantages ot Christian civiliza
tion, of human right guaranteed In
the Constitution, not dependent upon
the evanescent will of state or national
legislators, too often frightened by
their own shadow," it will raoraiiaiit
Ameilcan manhood, Ameilcan justice,
American alor, Ameilcan iutegilty
tho gieatest and stiongest lepublic on
