The Lesson That Abides.
Since the close of the war with
Spain the country lnm been deltiut'd
with f.-rviil, patriotic oratory and
passionate appeals through the pri"s
In hehalfof Oreater America and its
alleged ohlltrntions to Immunity
commonts tho Philadelphia Star.
An outsider temporarily sojourning
within our nates might have sup
posed that tho whole nation was re
ceiving a new baptism of loyalty and
imudfestiiif,' afresh its devotion to
the highest principles ot human
government.
Unfortunately, there is such a
thing as national hysteria. Tho
multitude is often alllicted 11 Uh the
individual. Overstrained nerves will
givo way and uilbit ions of weakness
are sure to follow. 'Vvue patriotism
Is the essence of things honestly be
lieved and the spirit of justice faith
fully carried out. The great Itopub
lio rests upon noble aspirations, ideal
ized and exemplified.
The immortal Declaration was not
merely the passionate utterance of a
trying and perilous hour. It em
bodied in wonderful words tho de
liberate judgment and purposes of
mighty men, who looked forward as
well as backward ; who stood at the
parting of tho ways ami summoned
all mankind to witness a new and
permanent departure in alTairs of
government. It was intended to bind
the Infant nation, thus crystalized
into a living and inspiring force, in
the bonds of an indissoluble union

fended the weak and restrained the
strong. It was sought to write in
imperishable letters across tho na
tional firmament a solemn warning
and a sacred obligation that should
never bo brokon.
The anniversary of tiio encamp
ment of the Continental Army at
Valley Forge has been celebrated, as
usual, by song ami story, by sermon
and speech, in comfortable places and
blazing banquet hulls. How many of
even these patriotic participants
realize the lesson that should abide
with the descendants of the ragged
heroes of a hundred and twenty years
ago? How many fully comprehend
the heavy responsibilities of this
hour, the occasion of festivities, the
duty to humanity and to c try in
volved in tlie execution uf the trust
of citizenship in uiinlay ' How many
rightly consider the opportunities to
help the needy, to rescue tho fallen,
totrengthen the weak, to, feed the
hungry, to clothe the naked, to bind
up broken hearts, to save wrecked
lives, to comfort sorrow-stricken
homes ?
The true spirit of humanity must
over bo mindful of these things. Out
wardly the nation is niarvelously
groat and strong, prosperous and
happy, yet in every community there
is a call for help that is Imperative.
Tile battlo with want and suffering is
ever on, nnd In this town more men
will go to bed hungry than ever saw
Valley Forge, and to these must be
added twice as many helpless women
and suffering children.
In a hind of freedom, good govern
ment, industrial prosperity and social
order, it ought not to bo. Patriotism
means love of country and true re
gard for human kind. The long, dark
days of winter are upon us, and woe
abides In many worthy homes. Tho
sweep of physical disorder intensife
the sorrow and distress. Let tho op
portunity and the duty go hand in
hatid. Let the fearful spectacle of

Wnshlnfjton, Dec. 27. Admiral Walk-
chairman of the Nicaragua canal
commission, when questioned ns to the
time when the report of the commis
sion would be sent to congress, said
thnt the time could not be stated
lellnltely, ns the report had not been

sumed, however, that It would be ready
within the next very fow days. In
answer to further Inaulrles the admiral
said that there were no differences of
opinion amone the members of the
commission, except possibly on the
question of cost, and that difference
might be adjusted so that the report
would be unanimous on all points.
Pome months ago Admiral AValker
stated to a committee of congress that
In his Judgment the canal would not
cost more than $125,000,000. Another
member of the commission fixed the
maximum nt $140,000,000, but Btated
thnt It might cost considerably less,
and It had been the opinion of the third
mumbei of the commission that the

000,000. All were agreed, however, that
those tlgutes wete and could be only
approximations. There were too many
considerations and contingencies that
might change the result materially. All
members of the commission are agreed
that the construction of the canal on
the route proposed is entirely feasible
and should be prosecuted with all rea-

I. mill-. Am Allotted.
Spokane, Wash.. Dec. 27. The gov
eminent has run against a snag In al-
lotlng lands In severalty on the Col
ville Indian reservation, peopled by 800
Indians. Indian Agent Anderson and
Allotlng Agent Harry Humphrey have
been trying tor some time to allot the
lands, but have met with resistance,
the Indians being opposed to surveys
and allotments unless the government
pays them for tho land, as the Nez
Petces and Cour De. Alenes were paid
for theirs. There are about 1,500,000
acres on the reservation, and the con
tention of the government Is that the
Indians have no title to It. The gov
ernment proposes to allot 0 acres to
each Indian in severalty, and give them
nuthing more. The Indians, led by
t'hlef Aura Pnghuln and Chief Bernard,
demand that they be paid ubout $1,500,
000, claiming this under the report of a
commission which exumlned into the
mattpr some time after the reservation
was set apart by President Grant's proc
lamation in July, 1SV2. A truce has
been secured ou the promise that the
two chiefs will be taken to Washington
this winter by Agent Anderson to see
tio president. Under the truce sur
veys are proceeding. The Colvllle reser
vation contains a number of thriving
mining towns, among them Republic,
where Is located the famous Ilepublla
mine. The north half of the reserva
tion was thrown opan to mineral lo
cations In July, IS'jG, and the south
half In July of this year.

of coffee. The more Grain-0 you give the

tastes like the choice grades of coffee but

Women Should Know It.
Many women suffer untold agony and
miser)' because the nature of their disease is
not correctly understood. They have been
led to believe that vomb trouble or female
weakness of some sort is responsible for the
many ills that beset womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, n
dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weak
ness or bearing-down sensation, profuse or
scanty supply of urine with strong odor,
frequent desire to pass it with scalding or
burning sensation, sediment in it after stand
ing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble
The above symptoms are often attributed
by the patient herself or by her physician to
female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so
many fail to obtain relief, because they are
treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection
of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble,
In fact, women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder trouble
nnd both need the same remedy.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, and is easy to get at any drug store
for fifty cents or one dollar.
To prove its wonderful merits you may
have a sample bottle and book telling all
about it, both sent absolutely free by mail.

"I used Doan's Kidney Pills which I pro
cured from Klrllu's Pharmacy, and I had not
taken many before I was so much better that
I found It unnecessary to continue with the
treatment I had pain In my back, giddl
ness when I stooped and an acute lameness
across my kidneys. Doan'sKldney Pills cer
talnly proved moat satisfactory. My head
has pained me less since taking them al
though I did uot before know that it was my
kidneys that caused my headaches'. This
loineily also regulated the kidney secretions
and lelievrd me of much annoyance. I can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as being a
most effective preparation to enre disordered

London, Dec. 27. The Paris corre
spondent of The Dally Chronicle says:
It Is asserted that the French police
have seized several bundles of letters,

paper that he has knowledge of a mili

Dr. Jackson points to
the startling fact that
there are now 20 million
Catarrh victims in this
country aud the number
rapidly increasing. It
has already become the
National Disease. Are
we to become a nation of
Catarrhites? It looks
like it.
The Aboriginal Indians are said not to hare
known the disease. That proves it is not caused
by ourcllraata and must have been imported.
Its growth waa slow but persistent. Forty
years ago there were less than 40.000 cases In
the U. 8., to-day there are 20 million. Soon
there will be SO nulUou. Where is It to end?
Bhatt we not awake till It has fastened Its fangs
on every man, woman and child in the laud?
How hhall we prevent It unless we take imnied
i te and vigorous steps to stamp out the plague?
Thi9 putrid disease knows no sex, no class, no
nation. It Is everywhere. A germ (microbe)
disease It spreads by contagion. The canon
breath and expectoration of the poor victim are
loaded with these microbes. Others breath them
in, they find lodgement and never release their
hold till the victim lies down In death, unless
every microbe la killed. But can they be killed?
Yes, but not by any "blood medicine." No Ca
tarrh germ was ever found In the blood. The
trouble is local aud must be treated locally. A
balsam has been discovered that is sure death
to the Catarrh microbe, making a radical aud
permanent cure. It is Brazilian Halm. It has
cured teqs of thousands In the past 15 years. It
also cures all the' troubles caused bv Catarrh.
as Sore Throat, Old Coughs, Ilrouchltfs, Asthma
and Lung troubles. The swallowing ol the
laiarrn pus maKes ine Momacn raw ana nicer
ntcd. The Brazilian Ualm soon makes a radical
cure of the Stomach aud alhuentarv canal. It
lithe cheapest remedy on the marktt, a $1.00
bottle containing a whole month's treatment.
As all sufferers with Catarrh and Asthma have
run.down systems we will till January next put
a moutu's treatment 01 loiicoia tauieis, tree,
la with everv 11.00 bottle of DraiUlau Palm.
This Is the best Tonic and nerve and strength
builder known. You get all lor $1.00, a month's
treatment ol both. Now is the time to treat
your Catarrh. Do not delay. Ask your druggist
and take no substitute. If he will not get it,
.end direct to us. 11. P. J cksom & Co., M'f'g.
