This may do for a li(,'ht eater, but in tho case of a man with a robust appetite there would seem to bo danger of contributing an ad ditional pain in the stomach. TllK North American, a strong ad vocate of tho retention of the Philip pines, gives the following definition of those who oppose that policy : "An anti-expansionist is a man who would refuse to accept as a gift a property adjoining his, because of a fear that some time in the future it wight burn down."

While this might be true.it nevertheless causes the Cincinnati Inquirer to remark that there always has been a similar trouble in arrang ing tho words in the dictionary so as to make a good speech. Tub London Spectator says: "You can not rid the average American farmer of the idea that when silver and paper money uro plenty times will be good." The average Ameri can fanner deserves a better reputa tion than this. Ho showed in the re cent election that he does not think silver and paper money in abundance necessarily make good times. In that election he declared that silver and paper currency need bracing up, and that, gold must bo UBed to do the bracing.

All theso elreiitnstnnccs sug gvst the urgency of some definite action by the longress at this seM.ilon If tho la bors of the past are In be utilized nnd the linking of the Atlantic and Pacific ocenns by a prm Ileal waterway Is to be realized. That the construction or xiich a mnrltlme highway Is now more than over Indlspen soble to that Intimate und ready Inter communication between out eastern and western seaboards demanded by the an nexation of the Hawaiian Islnnds and the prospective expansion of our IuIIupiico and commerce In tho Pacific, and that our national policy now more Imperatively than ever eallls for Its control by this government, uro propositions which I doubt not the congress will duly appre ciate and wisely act upon. One IiitcroNts In Clilnn. The United States has not been an In different spectator of the extruurdlnary events transpiring In the Chinese empire, whereby portions of Its maritime prov inces are passing under tho control of va rious Kuropeun powers, but thu prospect that the vast commerce which the ener gy of our citizens and the necessity of otir staple productions for Chinese uses has built up In those regions may not bo prej udiced through any exclusive treatment by the new occupants has obviated the need of our country becoming nn actor In the scene. Our position among nations, having a largo Pacific coast and a con stantly expanding direct trnde with tho farther Orient, gives us thu enultablu claim to consideration nnd friendly treat ment In this regard, and It will be my aim to subserve our large Interests In that quarter by all means appropriate to tho constant policy of our government. The territories of Kla-Chow, of wel-hal-wal. and of Port Arthur nnd Tallcnwnn, leased to Germany, Great Hrltaln nnd Russia respectively for terms of years, will. It Is announced, be open to international com merce during such ullen occupation; and If no discriminating treatment of Ameri can citizens and their trade be found to exist, or be hereafter developed, the desire of this government would appear to be realized. Regarding tho Paris exposition the mes sage recommends an Increase of the ap propriation to at least $1,000,000 to further our Interests at that exposition, and says further: There Is now every prospect that the participation of the United States In the Universal Uxpoxlilon to be held In Paris In VM0 will be nn a scale commensurate with the udauced position hold by our products and Industries In the world's chief marts. Where our artisans have tho admitted capacity to excel, where our Inventive genius has Initiated many of tho grand est discoveries of these later days of the century, and where the native resources of our land are ns limitless as they are valuable to supply tho world's needs, It Is our province, as It should be our ear nest care, to lead in the march of hu man progress and not rest content with any secondary place. Moreover, If this be due to ourselves, It Is no less due to tho great French nation whose guests we be come, nnd which has In so many ways testified Its wish nnd hope that our par ticipation shall befit the place the two peoples huvo won In the Held of universal development. Tho commercial arrangements made with Franco on the 2Sth of May, 1698, un der tho provisions of section 3 of tho tariff act of 1S97, went Into effect on the 1st day of. June following. It has relieved a portion of our export trade from seri ous embarrassment. Further negotiations are now pending under section 4 of the same act, with u view to the Increase of trade between tho two countries to their mutual udvantuge. Negotiations with other governments, In part Interrupted by the war with Spain, are In progress un der both sections of tho tariff act. I hope to be able to announce some of tho results of these negotiations during tho present session of congress. Negotiations AVIth Germany. Negotiations to tho same end with Ger many have been set on foot. Meanwhllo no effort has been relaxed to convince the Imperial government of the thorough ness of our Inspection of pork products for exportation and It Is 'trusted that the effictent administration of this measure by the department of agriculture will be recognized as a guarantee of the health fulness of tho food staples we send abroad to countries where their use Is largo and necessary. Reference la then made to Germany's prohibition of tho Importation of fresh fruits from this country, tne nuegca rea son being tho fear of disseminating the San Josa scalo Insect, a prohibition that was subsequently extended to dried fruits, Tho president says: As was to be ex pected, tho alarm reached to other coun tries, and Switzerland has adopted sim ilar Inhibition. Efforts are In progress to Induce the German and Swiss govern ments to relax the prohibition In favor of dried fruits shown to have been cured under circumstances rendering the ox!s(t once of animal life Impossible. Our relations with Great Urltaln have continued on the most .friendly footing, Assenting to our request, the protection of Americans and their interests m Bpan lsh jurisdiction was assumed by the dip lomatic and consular representatives ot Great Britain, who fulfilled their delicate and arduous trust with tact and ?eal, eliciting high commendation. I may be allowed to make fitting allusion to the Instanco of Mr. Ramsden, her majesty's consul nt Santiago do Cuba, whose un timely death after distinguished servico und untiring effort during the siege of that city was sincerely lamented. Tho Cnundn NegotlatlouH. " It will give me especial satisfaction If I shall bo authorized to communicate to you a favorable conclusion ot the pending negotiations with Great Britain )n re? spect to the Dominion of Canada. It Is the enrnest wish of this government to remove all sources of discord and Irrl tntlfin in our relations with tho nelgbor- Ing dominion. Tho trade between tho two countries is constantly increumin;. nnrl It In imnortnnt to both countries that all reasonable facilities should bo granted for Its development. The president goes Into a history of the events leading to the annexation of tho Tln.unllnn Tolnrwlu mils attention tO tllQ fact that our consular offices have ceaBed to exist In Hawaii, and says: Under tho provisions ot the Joint reso lutlon. the existing customs relations of the Hawaiian Islands with the United Bmiu nml with other countries remain unchanged until legislation shall other wise provide. The consuls of Hawaii, here and In foreign countries, continue to fulfill their commercial agencies, whllo the Unltd States consulate at Honolulu Is maintained for all appropriate services pertaining to trade and revenue. It would be desirable that all foreign consuls In the Hawaiian Islands should receive new exequaturs from this government.

The experiences of the last year bring forcibly homo ua u r ons nnd the Wnste oTwar Wo ol'Slre, m common with most civilized nations, to reduce to the lowest posslhlo point tho damage sustained In tlmo of war by peaceful trnde and commerce. This pur pose can probably best be accompusncii by nn Intel national agreement to regard all private property ot sea as exempt from rapture or destruction by the forces, of belligerent powers. 1. therefore, sug- est for your consideration that the ex ecutive be authorized to correspond with he governments o. the principal mari time powers with a view of Incorporating nto the permanent law ot civimutu na tions the principle of the exemption of 11 private pioperty at sen, not contra band of wnr, from capture or destruction by belligerent powers. In my judgment, the piesent condition f the treasury amply justllles the im mediate enactment of the legislation rec ommended one vear ago, under which a portion of the gold holding should be laced In a trust fund from which green backs should bo redeemed upon presenta- lon, but when oncu redeemed should not thereafter be paid out except for gold. The president strongly endorses the rec ommendation of the secretary of war for the Increase of the regular army to 100,- 000 men, and declares It Ills purpose to muster out the entire volunteer nnny as soon as congress shall provide for tho Increase of tho regular establishment. This, says the president, "will bo only u act of Justice and will be much appre ciated by the brave men who left their homes and employments to help tho coun try In Its emergency. A chanter on the extension of our postal system to our new possessions follows, nd then the president takes up tho report f the secretary of the navy, earnestly udoislng the secretary's recommenda tions for tho Increase of the navy and for the revival of the grades ot admiral and Ice admiral. In the year H'OO will occur the centennial mil versa ry of the founding of tho city f Washington for tne permanent capital f the government of tho United States.

The kidneys are responsible for more sick ness, suffering, and deaths than any other organs of the body. A majority of the ills afflicting people to. lay is traceable to kidney trouble. It prevades all classes of society, in all climates, regard, less of age, sex or condition. The symptoms of kidney trouble are unmis takable, sch as rheumatism, neuralgia, sleep lessness, pain or dull ache in the back, n desire to urinate often day or night, profuso or scanty supply. Uric ncid, or brick-dust deposit in urine are signs of clogged kidneys, causing poisoned and germ-filled blood. Sometimes the heart acts badly, and tube casts (wasting of the kidneys) are found in the urine, which if neglected will result ir. Bright's Disease, the most dangerous form of kidney trouble.
