Of steamers receives at New York for
reshipment to Venezuela, goods that
have come all the way from Europe.
The extra expense of handling is
warranted by the difference made by
the duty.
The people Of this country are fast
coming to the conclusion that no
government can force foreigners to
trade on a jug-handle basis. The
way to get the trade of other nations
is to throw open our ports free to the
commerce of every nation.

Facts About Militia.

The following Information as to
the standing. efficiency, etc., of the
Illinois National Guard is obtained
from THE Organized Militia of the
United States" just issued by the
military information division OF the
war department. The comparison is
by states:
Illinois and New York stand sec
ond in number liable to military
service, viz: $4,000. Illinois stands
seventh in size of national guard
4,777. Illinois stands eleventh in
percentage of attendance at camp,
viz: 76.6 per cent. Illinois is one OF
the % states which designate the
active militia as national guard; one
of the nine states having regularly
organized and instructed signal
corps. Only two states. one of which
was Illinois, had division encamp-
ment last year.
THE majority of the states have no
plans for the concentration of their
troops in a case Of emergency" OF
the three states having quite WELL
developed plans for concentrating
and supplying troops lin a case Of
Illinois stands second.
Illinois is one Of the states appro-
priating more than 100000 per an
mum for the support of the National
guard. Illinois is one of the eight
states which requires its National
guard To drill at least once week at
home stations. Proficiency in drill
attained by large bodies of troops is
reported excellent" in Illinois, New
York and Pennsylvania - Illinois
standing first.
Theoretical instruction is given TO
officers and non-commissioned Off
GERS in most of the states. This in
struc,ion seems to be most compre-
hcnsivc and thorough in Illinois.
New York and Pennsylvania" The
manner in which guard duty is per-
formed is reported as efficient in
Illinois: officers and non-commis-
stoned officers are well instructed in
the duties thereof-in seven states,
OF which Illinois is one. THE only
outpost duty reported is in Illinois.

The breath of a chronic catarrh pa
tient is often so offensive that he be-
comes an object of disgust. After a
time liberation sets in, the spongy
bones are attacked. and frequently
destroyed. A constant source of
discomfort is the dripping of the
purluent secretions into the throat,
sometimes producing inveterate
bronchitis. which is usually the en-
citing cause of pulmonary disease.

more stories than ."Zeb" Vance OF

many should be told about him;

came to Washington he used to be
mistaken every day for Richard J.
Bright, then, rs now, the sergeant
at arms Of the Senate. Members
of the other house were continually
stopping him to talk atoat appoint

even the assistants in the literary
