OUR COUNTRY : First. Last and Forever.
Qkn. Hknut says a niau with
plenty of money and patience can do
-welt in Porto Itico. These qualifica
tions stand a pretty good ohanco in
this country.
Thk ease with which Uncle Sam
accumulates an army is shown by the
fact that there were 20,000 applica
tions for the 101 positions of Second
Lieutenant under the reorganization
bill.
It is the opinion of gentlemen to
whose wisdom we have learned to bow
down that the first blow at the renom-
luation of William McKinley on the
Republican presidential ticket has
been struck. It Is further believed
that T. Brackett Reed is the attack
ing party. Mr. Reed has been ban,
queted at the Manhattan Hotel.
The Scranton committee that went
to Harrisburg to "read the riot act"
to Senator Vaughan accomplished its
work in short order. The committee
very speedily prevailed on tho Sena'
tor to retire his bill to legalize prize
fighting in Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties. The nefarious bill was re
committed to the judiciary committee,
from the custody of which it will
never again emerge.
Thk President and Secretary of
"War have not made up their minds,
how large an army theywill have to
organize in accordance with the law
enacted at the recent session of Con
gress. The act is a sort of an India
rubber one. It gives"" the President
ample discretion, and with him
laryely rests the question of going to
the full limit, or keeping the numbers
down to something like 05,000.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, it
was the other fellows who did the
"spanking and cudgeling" act in ex
Senator Coyle's case. It will be re
membered that once upon a time he
was a candidate for state delegate,
and his defeat In that instance
marked the beginning of the end of
his political career in this county, and
the Herald and its editor figured
quite extensively in that episode.
But, then, you cannot expect Mr.
Coyle's newspaper"hirelings" to know
these things, and hence their "noisy
chattering." We repeat, the ex-Senator
can now be classed with those
statesmen whose occupation is gone.
From all uccounts the many
charges that bad beef was furnished
the army during the recent war with
Spain, has had the effect of greatly
lessening the demand for cunned
goods. Such horrible stories have
been circulated that word comes from
most of the packing centres in the
West that this trade is likely to suffer
for years to come. The government
officials are very much worked up
over the situation, and for the welfare
of the country they express a desire
to go to the bottom of this business
no matter how disastrous it may be
to the llniiH engaged in canning
uleais.
Mr. Bryan, the gentleman who
was at one time a candidate for the
Presidency, and still has a hankering
after that office, addressed the follow
ing In response to an invitation to
attend the banquet of the New York
Democratic Club : "Hon. Perry Bel
mont, Democratic Club, New York :
Invitation received. Remembering
that you openly repudiated the Demo
c ratio platform in the last campaign,
I desire to know, before answering
the Invitation, whether you have
since the election publioly announced
your conversion to the principles set
forth in that platform." In answering
Mr. Belmont telegraphed as follows
to Mr. Bryan : "The Invitation ex
tended to you is on behalf of the
Democratic Club. Individual opinions
have not been considered in issuing
the invitations to celebrate the birth
day of Thomas Jefferson." The
Tammany people, muoh to the chagrin
of the silver wing of the Democratic
party, refuse to snow their hand this
early In the game.

that must be paid. But even for such cases

London, March 17. The Home corre
ipondent ot The Dally News says: "The
worst symptom of the pope's condition
is extreme weakness, which is respon
sible fpr the slow healing of the wound,
The bandngos w'ero only removed yes
terday. Moreover, bis holiness obsti
nately refuses to take complete rest
from tbe affairs of state, and his doctors
have been compelled to promise him
that be may attend the ceremony in the
Slstlne cbupei on April 11 in honor of
St. Leo.
The Itome correspondent of The Dally
Telegraph says: "I learn from an un
impeachable source that there Is no hope
of effecting a real cure, as the pope's
wound refuses to heal. There is every
fear of blood poisoning, and the
strength of his holiness is entirely main
tained by cognac and marsala. It is
feared that tbe pope may die in a faint
ing lit, especially as he habitually sleeps
on bis back, which produces a danger
pus condition of things. His attend
ants are obliged to turn him over fre
quently. It will be a miracle if he sur
vives another three months."
Home, March 17, Ptofessor Mnzzon)
and Dr. Lapponi, the pope's physicians,
deny all the alarmist rumors that have
been put in circulation regarding tha
condition of his holiness. They declare
that the wound made by "the recent oper
ation js about healed, that tbe pope's
lungs nnd heart are absolutely healthy,
and that his weakness Is not more than
is natural in a nonagenarian.

llin OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion by
Dieting a Dangerous and Useless One.
We say tho old way, but really It Is a very
common one at present timoand many dys
peptics and physicians as well consider the
first step to takn in attempting to euro indi
gestion is to diet, eltbor by selecting certain
foods and rejecting others or to greatly di
minish tho quantity usually takcu, in other
words, the starvation plan is by many sup
posed to bo tho first essential.
The almost certain falluroof tho starvation
euro for dyspepsia has been proven tlmo und
again, hut still tbe moment dyspepsia makes
Its appearand) a cotirso of dieting is at onco
advised.
All this Is radically wrong. It Is foolish
and unscientific to recommend dieting or
starvation to a man suffering from dyipcpsla,
because indigestion Itself Btarvcs ovory
organ and ovory ucrvo and every fibre in the
body.
What tbo dyfpcptlc wants Is abundant nu
trition, which mcaus plenty of good, wholo
some, well-cooked food and somothtng to os-
Bist tho weak -stomach to digest it. This Is
oxactly tho purpose for which Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets are adaptod and this is tbo
method by which they euro tho worst cases
of dyspepsia, In other words tho patient eatg
plenty cf wholesome food and Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets digest it for bim. In this nay
tbe system is nourished and tbe overworked
stomach rested, because tbo tablets will di
gest tho food whether tbe Btomacb works or
not. One of these tablets will digest 3,0Qp.
grains of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will toll you that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablots is tbo. purest and safest
remedy for stomach troubles and every trial
makes one more fiisnd for this excellent
preparation. Sold at SO cts. for full sized
package at all drug stores.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glasss with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours :
a sediment or settling indicates an unheal
thy condition of tbe kidneys j if it stains
your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble j
too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the
back is also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO no.
Thete is comfort in tbe knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of Ihe
urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to go often during the day,
and to get up many times during the night.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. At druggists fifty cents
or one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and a book
that tells more about it, both sent absolutely
free by mail, if you send your address to Dr.'
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. Wken

edy. Tens of thousands have found that
it ts the only thiug that would cure Ca

er failed iua single case to cure Asthma,
and its record has been as wonderful iu
Catarrh. Cases that had, to all appearan
ces, ruu into Consumption, or where the
nostrils were entirely stopped upor where
the poisonous pus had eaten holes into
the throat an inch deep, or where the
stomach had become ulcerated aud raw
from swallowing the gcrm-ladeu matter,
were all permanently cured. Such a rec
ord, unknown to uuy other remedy, just
ly entitles the Brazilian Balm to the first
place in the regard of the American peo

ind countless Asthma sufferers in this
country, all of whom can be cuied with
