FOR DYSPEPSIA
Use Horsford's Acid Phosphate.

DR.. Lorenzo Waite, Pittsfeld, Mass, says:
"From its use for a period of about eight
weeks. to the exclusion of all other remedies,
l attribute the restoration to health of a pa
tient VINO was .emaciated to the last degree, in
consequence of nervous prostration and dys-
pepsia. This PATIENTS stomach was in such an
irritable condition that he could not bear
either liquid or solid food. An accomplished
physician of many years experience, whom
called in consultation, pronounced his case an
incurable one. At this stage decided to use
Horsford's Acid Phosphate, which resulted as
above mentioned.m

the vast resources of the Dominion can secure
proper development If commercial union
could be achieved by concurrent legislation
great stride forward would be taken toward
unification of interests between the two coun-
tries.
II this resulted IN political union in time it
would be welcome to the United States and
perhaps in time to Canada. If on the other
hand independence from Great Britain was de-
sired it would not be seriously objected to.
With British capital pouring out at its present
rate, it would take less than 80 years for Great
adjustments of the United States, and with
that country paying annually at least $l00, O0O,-
600 to London in the shape of interest and divi-
dends, the United States would be far more im-
nnrtant TO Great Britain than Canada.

ANOTHER FEATURE.

Apart from this monetary interest, it is sig
nIficant that the great statesmen of England
recognize in the United States the representa-
tive of English civilization on the continent of
North America, as shown by the remarkable
speech of Mr. Gladstone at Paris, in which he
predicted IN America in hundred years pop
ulation of 10000, 600.
in the steps of the United States of Colombia
which followed in the wake of the United
States of America, there should be created the
United States of Australia and eventually the
United States OF Canada, Great Britain would
not be injured, but rather glorified by thus per-
mitting nearly so per cent of her empire to
assume a condition OF independence, self-re-
lance and prosperity. SO gloriously illustrated
by the career of the neighboring Republic. The
worldmoves rapidly in these days, as shown by
the recent revolution.

LONDON, November 23.-T Copyright. J.
The cabled reports ofRepublican utterances
in French Canadian newspapers have caused
considerable stir here The first impulse
was to trace the trouble to wicked Irish Ma
tionalists, but as that attempt failed ludie-
rously, recourse was had to the old argu-
ment that after all it did not much matter,
seeing that Canada is already virtually
8 Republican argument which loses
none of its picturesqueness by the fact that
it is used by Tories and Liberals alike, and
that all seem to derive much comfort from
it. One Radical organ which supports the
Government and generally reflects Joseph
Chamberlain's political opinions, after
calmly remarl1ing that the connection of a
dominion with this country is more nominal
than real, and the Governor General more
ornamental than useful, proceeds to speak
its mind as follows:
What will hasten the separation of Canada
from Great Britain is the insistance on the part
of the Government of this country to send a
member of the House of Lord as Governor
General, instead of sending. as they might do
and should do at all events sometimes, men IN
closer touch with the people, and who are bet
ter acquainted with the popular feelings and
tendencies. 1t may be in closer harmony with
because they are peers. as pTOconsulS to India,
because India, with its old civilizations, is per-
meated by the hereditary principle. 1t is dlt-
ferent in Canada, where the people and popular
government are omnopi1ent.
VOICE FROM CANADA
A dispatch from Toronto says: Erastus
Wiman spoke here this evening on ''Closer
Trade Relations Between the United States
and Canada" He saidtin part:
In the United States circumstances are ex-
tremely favorable to some arrangement whereby
trade may be extended to all parts of the con-
tinent, North and South. The demand for free
raw material in lumber, iron. copper, coal fish,
fruit and wool, and also small grains is very
strong while the necessity tor enlarged markets
is equally apparent. The Pan-American Con-
gress is an indication of desire for enlarged
relations with neighboring nations. Why not
with Canada, already the best customer of the
United States.
The enormous Treasury surplus calls for re-
auction in customs, and as those levied on
Canadian products amount to only S5 900. .000
equal to less than 10 cents per head to the
population of the United States nothing would
be more popular than its removal if an eX-
tension of commerce to continental proportions
and the opening up of abundant sources of
also, the circumstances point plainly to the
necessity of change in the policy of the country.
NOT A BRIGHT PROSPECT.
The population Is declining, the debt increas-
ing and the figures show that since confedera-
ton, 26 years ago, the deficit between exports
and imports amount to Sl5,OOO,OOO, while the
excess in the United States during the same
period amount to $500 100000. Englaqi is
exacting interest from Canada at the rate of

RETRENCHMENT.
The Committee Has Come to No
COnclus1 Yet.

The Committee Has Come to No
Conclusion Yet.
The Retrenchment Committee Of the
City Council has been at work three days
in each week for several weeks, and as
yet has reached nc conclusion as TO how
the expenses Of the city are
to be cut down 30 as to make them
come within the tax levy. The commit.
tee has had before it number of citizens
and has listened to what they had to say
regarding the situation. 1t is said that
no two opinions were alike, and that few
ideas were advanced that will be of ad-
vantage to the committee. 1t is limited
around, however, that the police force is
to be reduced, that the number of men
In the Street Superintendent's employ
and in the City Engineers office will be
cut down. 1t seems to be the general
idea that, as the city is very peaceable
ct present, the police force could be re-
duced by about thirty men with
out injuring its efficiency. 1t also
eeema to be the opinion that the Street
Superintendent has not enough work for
the number of men he employs. In
connection with this Office q number of
contracts will be examined. 1t is also
said that the City Engineer keeps too
many men employed for the amount of
work the Council gives him to do. It is
reported that his force is kept largely by
reason of the profiling of streets,
for which there is no neces.
sity at the present time. There
also is some talk of cutting down
the street sweeping and street sprinkling
bills. 1t is expected that this will be
done by refusing to sprinkle any streets
except those which have been graded,
and BY ordering the paved streets swept
less frequently. The Fire Department is
also, it is said, under consideration, and
it is possible that some cuts may be made
here some have an idea that if the call
men were paid only for the fires they at
tend the bills would not be so large. The
committee has, as yet, made no report
on the matter, but it is expected to re-
port in the near future.

officers of the society, accepted an invi-
tation from the Supervisors and paid a
visit to the Los Angeles County Farm,
accompanied by Supervisor Davis, to
whose courtesy they were indebted for q
thorough inspection OF the farm and
buildings. To say the least, it was a
surprise to the ladies, knowing as they
did the short time the farm had been
established, the land having been pur-
chased two years ago, and the buildings
begun about one year ago. The build
ings, four in number, all of brick, are
large, airy and comfortable.
Under the supervision of DR.. Burdick
they are we'll kept, and show that the
comfort of the inmates is carefully con-
sidered. The farm is in charge of a
practical farmer and speaks for itself
Of course, being SO new, there are yei
many improvements to be made, but foI
the time it is simply wonderful
what has been done to make q
comfortable home for the unfortunate oi
this county, who are obliged through
misfortune or old age to be dependent
upon charity. Books, periodicals and
good reading matter of all kinds, French
German and English are eagerly sought
for by the inmates, and any person hav'
ing ever so small an amount to spare
would be doing charity in donating il
to the Los Angeles County Farm. II
can be left with Mrs. Ducommon, 81
Ducommon street, or with Mr.. T. f
Rowan, ia North Spring street. The
ladies feel deeply indebted to the BOARD
of Supervisors, especially 80 to Mr.. Davis
and also to DR.. Burdick, for their cour'
tesy in giving them day of hearty en-
joyment, which will be long remem
bered, and they hope repeated.
