The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroy ing
the foundation of the disease, and Civ
ing the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting La
ture in doing it's work. The proprie-
tors have SO much faith in it's curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

Il is quite clear that some of
the leading inhabitants Of the lit
tie islet called England do not
know much about the Uuited
States, and think it is PAL tly peo-
pied by Indians and that the buff
falos still roam. They have been
SO accustomed to dealing with
savages, and there were SO many
Indians here when they last
fought the United States and got
licked, that they think the coun~
try must be much about the
same, whereas they think they
have grown stronger. If they
only knew the feeling stirred up
by the simple report that their
old iron hulks r going to come
this way they would sink them
all before they got started.

NO EMPIRE HERE,

Mr.. It. P. O'Connor is begins
ming to see light on the Vene>
zuelan question. and says that
latter all, a whole nation of
level headed and unaggressive
people like the Americans does
not all of a sudden propose sorue-
thing that is insane" He thinks
that the Presidents position
is untenable from an English
standpoint and will never be ad-
mitted, but that English public
opinion is determined that ''there
shall not be war between two
great empires"
We have not any "empire"
over here. Mr.. O'Connor; but
just a plain republic. with a plain,
sensible, courageous man as it's
chief public servant. He speaks
for the people when he tells Ems
lgland that, since it will not arbl-
trate, it must accept the Ameri-
can tribunals decision on the
Venezuelan boundary question,
or-take the consequences.
There are 20, 900, 900 Americans
backing that challenge, and six
Anglomaniac newspapers, as
many musty college professors,
and a bakers dozen Of imported
parsons on the English side. The
odds are rather with the Presi.
dent.
Not for the absolute freedom
of Ireland, dear as it is to them.
would any Irish-American wor'
thy of the name, consent to sur.
render one jot or little of Amer
ica's right on this continent, OF
anywhere in the broad world, a
the demand Of England or Of any
other power.

THE PRESIDENCY.

In the February number of the
Ladies' Home Journal EXPRESS
dent Harrison, in his series of
articles on This Country of
Ours" discussesthe Presidency.
The article deals with the pro-
visions and methods of electing
a chief magistrate, and has much
to say bearing upon the eligi-
bility of a President for election;
he gives his views as to the
length of the Presidential term,
and expresses rather decided
opinions relative to the annoy
ance to which Presidents are
subjected from offce-seekers.
The article is practical, based
upon experience and observation.
General Harrison believes that
the fears Expressed by the fran
ers of our Constitution) that the
power of the office is such as to
enable an ambitious incumbent
to secure an indefinite succession
of terms will never be realized.
Continuing, he says:
..In practice the popular opin-
ion has limited the eligibility Of
the President to one reelection.
But some of our leading and most
Thoughtful public men have chal-
lIenged the wisdom of the four
year term, and have advocated
six years, usually accompanied
with a prohibition of a second
term. And unless some method
can be devised by which a less
considerable part of the four-
year term must be given to hear~
ling applicants for Office and to
making appointments, it would
be wise to give the President, by
extending the time, a better
chance to show what he can do
flor the country. It must be adj
United also that ineligibility to a
Isecond term will give the Exec
utive great independence. 1t
lseems unlikely, however, that
ANY change in the Presidential
term will be made unless some
unexpected event should stir
Into action a thought that IS now
of a theoretical rather than a
practical cast"
General Harrison's suggestion
Ias to a single term of six years
for the President is not a bad
lone. The reasons he sets forth
i'm it's favor are sound. The Con-
Istitution of the Confederate
States provided for a six years
single Presidential term, and
that feature of it has often been
recommended by learned states
men. However, General Harri-
sens utterances with reference
to the propriety of limiting the
Presidents tenure to one term
must not be taken to mean that
he would decline a second term
in the White House, He dis
cusses the Presidency theoret-
lcally in his magazine articles
and practically when engaged IN
politics.

FEATHERED THEIR NESTS
WITH BRIGHT NEW CRISP
 TWENTY DOLLAR BILLS.
But They Were All Bad and It Looks
 Like They Knew it, Too.

The arrest of Getzener and dark Virginia, who would be his wife, has lead to some startling discov- cries concerning a green goods game that has been worked here. It turns out that Getzenger was not the man who passed the bad bill at Brocllway's Monday night. The fact is A. J. Owens and Bob Jacks, now the guests of Jailer Gibson, have confessed, only Jacks says he was tool in the hands of his more industrious, but sadly cratic partner. It is the story of old dog Tray again, which, though forcible. has never been thoroughly impress ed upon the human mind.
 Last night one of the little En- glish sparrows who know so much put acting Chief of Police Stewart on to thing or two and he repaired to the Mansion" " when the objects of his suspicious were enjoying 10 the fullest extent their roll of green. It was not long before one of the new twenty dollar bills was pro- duced for beer The Chief and Patrolman Craig took the men and the money, but not the beer. At the police headquarters Owens made a break for freedom but officials who can plan an arrest can also chase that which they ha 5e arrested.
 Connected with this affair is another tale unfolded. Bill Smith, en route to Texas, is in town and tells of man who accosted him on the road from Star City to Corners vile and wanted to lend him money. He stated that he had plenty of it and knew where to get more. This mans name was Gentry and advised Smith to work for Owens. This advice, however, was not taken. It seems that the green goods men and their az gents, and in fact counterfeiters in general would get enough of a good thing in time, Their operations have never been successful in this section. The U. s. detective was telegraphed for and arrived this morning. Deputy Constable Creed Taylor also left this morning for Lincoln county in the hope of securing the rest of the | o,anu

BICYCLES FREE
To Boys and Girls Who will G ct Subscribers to the Daily and
 Semi Weekly Graphic.

The school season has about closed, and books will soon be dis. placed in the mind of every boy and girl by sports and amusements. There is nothing so popular at the present day as bicycles. and nothing so coveted hy the yonng of both sexes. Most children. however, cannot afford the lnxury of a wheel owing to their great cost. In order, therefore, to give everyone oppor- tunity of securing good bicycle the GRAPHIC has decided to make the following offers:
 To every boy or girl who secures fifty sub cribers to the Daily GRAPHIC for a period of two months or fifty subscribers to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC for n period of one year each, will be given n $40 De tianee bicycle.
 To every person securing sixty two-month subscribers to the Daily or sixty yearly subscribers to the Semi-Weekly GRAPH'c will be given n $50 Defiance bicycle.
 To every person securing seventy two-month subscribers to the Daily or seventy yearly subscribers to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC will be given a $G0 Defiance bicycle.
 To every person securing eighty five two-month subscribers to the Daily or eighty-five yearly snbscrib- CTS te the Semi-Weekly GRAPHIC will be given q $75 Defiance bicycle.
 It is not necessary that the whole number be made up of subscribers to the same paper. but it may be com posed of part Daily and part Semi Weekly subscriptions.
 The above offers apply only to new subscribers or to parties taking neither the Daily nor Semi Weekly GRAPHIC at the present time-May 24. The subscription price-65 cents month for the Daily and $150 n year for the Semi i-Weekly-must accompany every name. else credit will not be given the solicitor. In subscriptions to the Daily are secured, a corresponding decrease in the number required will be allowed, but no person will be permitted to subscribe for longer period than four months t0 the Daily OF one year to the Semi Weekly. One canvasser can transfer his list to the credit uf another should he fail to get the required number to get bicycle.
 Defiance bicycles are manufactured and guaranteed hy the Monarch Cycle Mfg. Co, of Chicago. and are made of the same material used in $I00 wheels. They are. therefore, far superior to most cheap bicycles. The $40 and $50 wheels are for boys and girls and the $60 and $70 wheels for adults. Catalogues containing a detailed description of each machine and blanks for canvassing may be had free at the GRAPHIC cffice.
 Now is the chance for industrious boys and girls to get bicycles for little effort. and the sooner they get to work the easier will it be to secure the required number of sub scribers. Who will be the first one to raf o whaalp

In calling the convention to order Chairman Talbott made a vigorous speech and among other things said that Maryland was still to be found enrolled under the ban ner Of sound currency.

The course 0f treatment for such a condition is plain and simple. The blood must first be pu- rified so that the nervous system, and, in fact, all the organs must be fed upon pure blood.
