"
perience of thousands has made it an in
disputable fact. Consumption is not dis
ease of the lungs. 1t is a disease of the
blood, which in weak lunged people man
ifests itself by the formation of tubercles
In the lungs and the wasting away of lung
tissue. The cure for consumption is simple.
II consists i'll the administration of medi-
cine that will assist the lungs in throwing
off tuberculous matter, and that will cleanse
the system so that this refuse matter will be
replaced by strong, healthy tissues. That
sounds like very simple operation, and
yet consumption baffled the combined med
ical skill of the whole world for hundreds
of years. Consumption was considered In
durable until the advent of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This great
remedy Is the most wonderful blood purifier
and strengthener that the world has ever
known. 1t is the result of years of study
and experiment, by scientific physician
and has been tested in every way by him
for over 30 years. II has an unbroken
record of success. 1t cures great variety
of diseases, because almost all diseases
have their origin and support in impurity
and weakness of the blood. AS long as
mans blood is rich and pure, he Is in no
danger from diseases. The blood is the
medium through which food is carried from
the digestive system to all of the tissues of
the body If it carries impure things or
an insufficient quantity of good things,
trouble will ensue. There is nothing about
that so very hard to understand. 1t Is per-
fectly plain and natural and rational. The
Golden Medical Discovery" puts the di-
gestive system in perfect order, purifes
and enriches the blood and so puts the
whole body into perfect tune.

HOME RULE NOT ENOUGH.
The Cuban Rsvoiutionlsts WIN right For

llne CuD1M ACKNOWLEDGMENT VIII EtghC FOL
Freedom.
New YORK. April EST. Estrada
Palma, president Of the Cuban revolu-
tionary junta. gave out the following
address to the people Of the United
States last night:
The question of the supposed re-
forms is not q matter which at all
concerns those who have already
established an independent govern
ment in Cuba and have resolved to
shrink from no sacrifice of property
or life in order to emancipate the
island from the Spanish yoke. II
the Spaniards resident in the island,
who are favored by the Spanish gov
eminent with all sorts of privileges
and monopo1ies. and if the handful of
Cubans, too pusillanimous or too proud
to acknowledge their error; or a few
foreigners, guided only by selfish in
t%erests, are satisfied that Cuba should
remain under Spanish domination, we,
who initiate under the flag of the sol
ltary star; we, who already constitute
the republic of Cuba and belong to a
free people, with it's own government
and It's laws, are firmly resolved to
listen to no compromise and to treat
with Spain only on the basis of abso-
Lutte independence for Cuba.
IF SPAN has power to EXTERN mate
us, then let her convert the island in
to a vast cemetery; if she has not, and
wishes to terminate the war before
the whole country is reduced to ashes,
then let her adopt the only cas-
that will put an end to it, and recog-
nize u independence. Spain must
know by this time that, while there is
a single living Cuban with dignity
and there are many thousands Of them
there will not be peace in Cuba, nor
even hope of it. All good cause
must finally triumph, and ours is a
good cause.
Experience has taught us that, as
a people we have nothing to envy the
Spaniards; in fact. we feel ourselves
superior to them, and from that we
can expect no improvement, no better
education. With regard to the knowl.
edge of the modern institutions and
democratic sentiments, we are far
more advanced than the Spaniards.
In that respect, and in many others,
we ave nothing ia common with the
Spanish people. We are Americans:
we breathe the pure air of free insti.
tatlons, and we contemplate with
envy the government OF the people,
by the people and for the people,"

PENSION BILLS VETOED
The President Returns Two Without His
Approval.

APPAoSos
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The Presi-
dent to-day sent to the Senate vetoes
OF two Senate pension bills. The first
was thai of Charles e. Jones, a, pho.
tographer, which attracted considera-
BILE attention in the House. 1t is as
follows:
/ the Senate: 1 return herewith
without my approval Senate bill No.
s49, entitled, An act to grant a pen
sion to Charles E. Jones. The bene.
fciary named in this bill was a pho
%tographer who accompanied one of
the regiments of the union army dur
ing the war of the rebellion. He was
injured, apparently not very seri-
ously, while taking photographs and
where no battle was in actual pro-
gress. He was not enlisted and was
IN no manner in the military service
OF the United States. Aside from the
question as to whether his present sad
condition is attributable to the injury
sustained, 1t seems to me the extension
OF pension relief to such cases would
open The door to legislation hard to
justify and impossible to refrain from
Jus oAoNCl SlCNclduQ.
The other veto was in that of the
bill for a pension to Nancy G. ALA
bach, widow of Peter II. Allabach,
who served IN the Mexican war and
the war Of the rebellion. The Presi-
dent calls attention to. the fact that
Allabach made nc app dsation for pen
sion on account of disabilities during
his life and continues: ct is not now
claimed that he was in the least dis
apled as an incident of his military
service. nor is it alleged that his
death, which. occurred nearly twenty
j years after his discharge from the
army, was in any degree related to
such service" He saws the widow
was pensioned after her husbands
death as the widow of a Mexican
ssld er, and that her case falls under
tie general act of 1890. '.lt is pro-
posed, however" he continues, spy
the special act under consideration, to
give this widow a pension Of $50 a
month. without the least suggestion
OF the death or disa bility of her hus-
band having been caused by his mill
tary service, and solely, SO far as
discoverable, upon the: ground that
she IS poor and needs the, money. Her
condition Is precisely covered by ex-
listing laws and, If aprecedent is to be
established by the legislation pro-
posed, | do not see. how the same
relief as is contained in this bill can
be denied to the many thousands Of
WIDOWS who are in d similar situation
and are not on the pension. r llssunder

dispute, and that Secretary Olney's
attempt to give it that application was
an untenable position.

riculture has q bill before it which pro-
vides for the creation Of a special road
commission to have a general super

duties is to decide to what extent the

and the cost Of construction will be

SOUND MONEY MEN BUSY.
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois Not Solidly for
Silver.

Silver.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The Demo-
cratic sound money bureau, recently
opened here, has received most en-
%couraging advices from Democratic
leaders of sound judgment, and,
basing their estimates on these re-
ports, the managers Of the bureau
claim that the sound money men will
have at least twenty delegates from
Ohio, twelve from Indiana and sixteen
from Illinois. Until now the sound
money men have in their estimates Of
probable strength in the convention
conceded Illinois and Indiana entire
to the free silver side. One of the
most interesting bits of information
given out by the sound money men is
that four Of the Missouri district dele
gates elected at Sedalia are not of the
radical 16 to ! Z order, but ere conserv-
alive, and will be ready to meet the
sound money side in a compromise.
Senator Brlce announced yesterday
that he proposed to go to the Chicago
convention to fight the free silver men
of Ohio.
While Senator German still pro-
poses to remain away from the con-
yention, there is a very general belief
that e~x-Secretary Whitney has, like
Senator Brice, been prevailed upon
to attend.
Not only is the administration
bringing into line the best and strong
est sound money Democrats, but
other plans are being laid. It now
appears that Secretary Carlisle:s trip
to Chicago was not so much to deliver
. speech as it was to organize a cam
paign against the silver movement in
that State, which up to that time had
been moving forward without appar-
ent let or h~indrance. A committee of
100 Democrats has been formed, with
Mayor Hopkins of Chicago at it's head,
and this committee is already actively
at work checking the silver forces.
Senator Lindsay's mission to Ken
lucky is also said to nave no other OBJ
ject in view than an arrangement
with the Blackburn forces in that
State whereby harmony is to be Sc
cured and Blackburn returned to the
Senate if the State Democratic con-
vention will send anti-silver men to
the nationalconvention.
