Constipation can be cured9 asily and
certainly by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are perfectly
imple-perfectly safe. They are not
at all violent in their action, and yet
they are more certain than many medi-
C mes which are so strong that they put
the system all out of order. The great
advantage of the pheasant Pellets" is
that they cure permanently. You
don't have to keep on taking them.
You don't s--quire pellet habit" as
in using other pills. Take them reg
ularly for a while, and you are cured
permanently. After that. take them
only when you find yourself suffering
from indigestion. There are many
medicines offered for the same purpose
on which druggists make bigger
profit For this reason, some druggists
would rather sell the other things If
your own health is Of more Importance
to you than the druggists prosperity,
you will insist on having what you ask

PRESIDENT DIAz is the most remark

PRESIDENT DIAZ is the most remark
able statesman which the Spanish race
in America has so far produced. No
other leader of Latin blood on this
hemisphere has managed to keep him
self in governmental ntrol of a re-
public during the better part of life
time without rousing perjudice against
cash himself as dictator and plun@ ~
his country into civil war. All have
tried only one has succeeded. Thong
Diaz is about to take the presidency for
the fifth time Mexico is as tranquil as
the United States, and no display CT
military force has been necessary to
make it SO. Another respect in which
the Mexican executive has shown
himself to be possessed Of the genius OF
government has to do with the econo-
mic development of the country.
Ordinarily Spanish American pres
ident is content, so long as his own
nest is safe and well-feathered, to
let the people make the best of such
conditions as they find. But in the
case of Diaz he undertook to make tn e
people prosperous and contented, and
the policy has been successful. Mexico
has net work of railways, improved
ports and hundreds of factories, all of
which are sustained by monetary
system that also makes coin pleutiful,
protects home industry and enlarges
the area of comfort among the masses.
Where other Spanish American coun-
tries are politically restless and weak
in financial resources, Mexico is becom-
ing sober minded, Industrious and
rich nation. intent upon the rewards of
thrift and the advantage of trades One
man has wrought this Transformation
in less than twenty years and set an eX-
ample of sagacity, wisdom and patriot

FLORIDA people are likely to parcipi-
tate trouble with Spain if conservative
counsel does not prevail down there
soon. The dispatches tell us that al

tempiated both in Key West and Jack

IA, not been released promptly. ; he

sally regarded as existing N the eXct.-
able nature and ignorance and intol
rance OF the Spanish popu ace. We
have not been anticipating on breaks
here that would call for action 10y
Spain, but had Florida mob offered
violence to Spanish consuls or Spanisn
citizens, in the present condition
of affairs it would have resulted
uuquestionably in the most serious
complications between the govern
ments OF Spain and tie United States,
it, indeed, it had not precipit4ted war
Only the governor and officials Of
Florida can be depended on to prevent
mob violence there that might lead to
extreme consequences. Our national
government has no authoritv to
interfere, of its own motion, in such
cases. The responsibility therefore,
resting upon the people OF Florida at
this critical juncture OF the relations
between Spain aud the United States
is a great one. Florida is full of Cubans
and the Florida people are warm and
active in their sympathy for the cause
of Cuba Libre," but they should not
be guilty OF an overt act that might
embarrass the American government
before 1T was ready to act. The
government ought to intervene. but
should do 80 only after full preparation
to meet the consequences of its action.
1t is rare instance in national history
when a possible precipitancy of war
was so happily and accidentally avoid
ed as in the case referred to. Spain's
good angel must have suggested the
release of Pendleton and thus prevent

FOREIGN SUGAR BOUNTIES.

AS a number of foreign countries
have increased their export bOunties
upon sugar aud in other ways encour-
aged the expectation of the sugar pro-
duced within their borders with view
to enabling their own subjects or citi-
zens to compete more successfully with
foreign sugar growers, il is time for
the producers who are unfavOrably
affected by these increased bOunJies
to take steps to protect them selves.
The principal effect of the European
sugar bounties is to flood the English
and American markets with cheap
sugars, thus injuring, on the one hand,
the sale of British colonial sugars, and,
on the other hurting the American
sugar producers, as we'll as refners.
The British government is being
strongly urged by It's colonial inter-
ests, to adopt a sugar duty as an Offset
to continental bounties. Already, dur
ing the last session of congress, our
Louisiana sugar producers and the
western beet-sngar growers took steps
to secure an increase ia the counter
vAiling duty on bounty-fed sugar, but,
unfortunately, without success.
The failure to secure relief at the
last session should in no wise discour-
age eff trJs to bring ABOUT the enact
ment Of u proper law at the coming
session. Two separate measures Were
intrOd uced last spring, either OF which
might be revived. Should the D,ngley
dill be taken up in the senate, II is
more tina proba g that an effort will
De made to increase the sugar. duty.
That would be u favorable opportunity
- secure Al lncr-4sa n the regulatory
duty on bounty-fed sugar, sufficient at
least to offset tue recent increases in

THE pODul,s5s of Kansas, who now
control that unhappy state, have lost
40 tim in getting together and dis
cuseing the situation. Over hundred
lenders have made up their minds
"a to the laws against corporations
which they intend to have passed.
Toe life insurance and loan companies
are the special objects of their amino
slty. ThcV propose that the former
snail invest at least ten per cent of
their premiums in Kansas securities.
But what will such securities be worth
50 long as Kansas is under pOpulist
control? That is a question which the
companies will doubtless wish to have
answered. The plan of putting loan
aud investment com panies under the
supervision OF the state bank commits
siOners. and compelling them to sub
nit to rigid Investigation of their
affairs, has something to commend it
