There is "A class OF people in this coun-
try who are disposed, at all times TO look
upon the dark side of affairs and see in al
most every turn of events evidence that
the country is going as rapidly as possible
to the bow bows. II Is undoubtedly true
that too much prominence Is given 70
the dark sides OF our community life, and
too often its brighter aspects are over
looked Force is given TO these reflections
when we read that during the past year
the enormous sum Of sl9, 967, l 10 was
given by well-to-do people and others to
educational, charitable and philanthropic
institutions throughout the country. The
Chicago Tribune has diligently kept the
record from year to year, which 1t fciici-
tously calls its white record" In 1895
these free gifts to the public reached still
more colossal figures, S33, 3lg. sec. No
sums less than $1,000 appear in the Tribune
list. There are many public requests
made in all parts of the country of less
mounts than $1,000. II these We're added
to the before mentioned magnificent totals
the aggregate would be still more atonish-

The reception extended Mrs. U.S Grant,
the widow of the great general who die
tated the terms of surrender at Appomat-
tox, by the Confederate veterans at At
lanta a day or two ago was memorable
incident Perhaps there was no Union
general towards whom the Southern peo-
pie retained so little bitterness, after the
close of the Rebellion, as they did to-
wards General Grant. While they recog-
nized his great military genius, his in
domitable tenacity of purpose, and his SUI
perior fighting qualities, they also had
rsason to remember the grand magnanim-
ity Of his character, and the generous
mann or in which it was shown to them
in the bitterness and humiliation of de-
feat. 1t is not surprising, therefore, that
General Grant always counted, in the days
following his military ca-eer, a large cir
Gle of warm and influential friends In the
Southern states, or that the regard they
entertained for him should have found
such beautiful expression in the reception
given his widow by the Confederate vet
Grams of Atlanta.

well, but Commissioner Waring OF New

Salt Rheum. Impure Blood and Racking
Cough that Baified Physicians Finally Cured.
Springfield Mass Republican.

Springfield lMass.) Republican.
In the town of Amherst, Mass, Mr.. Geo. b.
| Pierce and his mother are the proprietors of
the Amherst Creamery Association. Mrs.
Pierce has suffered for long time with Salt
Rheum and n cough that forboded Consump-
ton, but they have given way to health and
vigor. Hearing of this reporter called on
Mrs. Pierce, and the following experience was
related;--
"For long time suffered from Salt Rheum"
said Mrs. Pierce, ''but about two years ago |
slipped and hurt my knee, which made it
worse. can't begin to tell the agony was in,
my limbs became mass of raw flesh covered
with running sores. My friends would say
could not live long, and l thought too.
Wen ! heard of DIR. David Kennedy's Fav-
orite Remedy and DR.. David Kennedy's Salt
Rheum Cream; | commenced using them and
in three weeks l walked out of doors. Last
night | walked a mile, andsI am sixty three
years old. 1t shows that DIR. Kennedy's Fav-
orite Remedy and Salt Rheum Cream can do
more than the physicians for they made me well
after my doctors told me was incurable must
also tell you of an other preparations DR.. Ken
nedy advised me to use, which did as much for
me. 1t was DIR. David Kennedy's Cherry Bal
sam. | have had wretched cough for the
past fifteen years, the best doctors in the state
united in saying that it was incurable, and
that it was only matter OF time before my
lungs would give out-my sleep was restless, /
would lie awake for hours. / well recollect
the first time / used DR.. Kennedy's Cherry
Balsam. 1t relieved my throat at once and
slept all through that night, the first full
nights rest had in several years. 1t seemed
like miracle. l took but two bottles and was
cured.
Dr. David Kennedy's Cherry Balsam cures
asthma, bronchitis, coughs, colds, incipient
whooping cough or Group. TAX

The kicaraaua Canal.

For the success of the project at this
session, the friends of the Nicaragua canal
were in hopes that the House of Represen-
tatives might be disposed to accept the
bill passed by the Senate without furth-
or changes That bill is considered to
have been both a practical and patriotic
one, and by the terms OF its provisions
would have secured to the United States
practical control of the great enterprise
for allfuture time.
The House, however, has not, thus far
seen lit to adopt this bill but has one of
its own, reported by Mr.. Mallory, which
differs very little from the Senate bill in
essential particulars but which may never
theless, result in its failure TO secure
BY the terms of the Senate bill the
capital stock of the Maritime Canal Com
pany of Nicaragua will consist of /, 000,-
600 shares of 500 each or 500, 600, 900 in
all. Nicaragua is to have 50, 600, 900 worth
of these shares Costa Rica 81, 500, 600; the
existing stock holders to extinguish their
present stock, not over $1,000, 900, the exact
amount to be fixed by the secretary of
treasury, ION principles of justice and
equity" $40 600, coo worth of stock will
be owned by the United States, and the re-
mainder sold to secure construction
fund. The United States will pay for its
so, 900, 900 of, stock by u guarantee of
SO, 900, 90 worth of three per cent bonds
to be issued by the company, and to be in
denominations of not less than $50 and
not more than $1,000, payable July 1,
1924.
The Mallory bill makes the stock only
$50, 900 shares at 800 each or SS3, 600, 600
in all. OF these the United States will have
$780, 600 or $40, 600. 600. just as provided |
for in the Senate bill, while 10, 600 or 81,
000 600 are to be given to the present |
stockholders whose stock shall be cancel
led
These, perhaps, are the most notable |
differences between the two bills, certain
ly not important enough to operate to
the defeat of either. 1t would seem we'll |
then if the friends of the canal in the
House could get the Mallory bill out of
the way and give the Senate bill clear
field. This can be done by substituting
the Senate bill for the House bill as the
basis of action in the House If any
to the measure were deemed
necessary they could be made in its pas
sage and upon framework which has al
ready secured the approval of the higher
branch of Congress.
There can be no question of doubt but
what the American people, irrespective
Of party, are favorable to this great enter
prise. There are certain railroad inter
csts which are thought to be hostile to it,
but it is not probable that these are suf- /.
iciently strong to prevent its success.
From every point of view it is desirable !,
that the canal should be built, and that
The United States should control 1t. 1t !
