The tariff bill, as reported to the
Senate, increases the tax on beer A
cents a barrel. This is about one cent
a gallon. If any beer consumer fears
lest this increase is going to add to his
burden of taxation let him figure
out the number of glasses of beer
which is supplied from a gallon of that
liquid, and then add what fraction of
a cent will be added TO the cost of a
glass of his favorite beverage The
increased receipts OF the Government
will be, by this taxation, about 10
million dollars per annum, and a mo-
ment's reflection will show that it is
not going to add at all to the eXpendi-
ture of the consumer.

WHILE the wOol-growers of the
country are not pleased with the fact
that the Senate Committee reduced
the rates on wool to s and 8 cents per
pound, they are cOngratulating them
selves that even and 8 cents is Just
that much more protection than they
are getting under the present pro-
lection in proportion to the general
value of woods than they were getting
under the Mckinley law, even at the
higher rates named by that act. 1t
does not follow, however, that the
rate named by the Senate Finance
Committee is the one to be finally
adopted. On the contrary, the i'm
preston at Washington is that the
rate will be increased before the bill
becomes a law.

PEOPLE who are surprised that gold
is going abroad at the rate of 10 or 70
millions a month should remember
that foreign goods are coming in at
the rate of 20 or so millions a month.
The enormous increase in the amount
of foreign goods being brought into
the country, all of which must be paid
for in gold must explain to a great
extent at least the increase in the
outflow of gold.

Major General Benedict Arnold, with
his passionate temperament, his ex-
travagant habits, his fashionable wife,
his delayed rank, and finally his fool
ish attempt to humiliate his hated
compeers, is known to every child as
the traitor. Unhappy man, his name
is buried beneath mountains of the
most awful oblOquy, and his career is
made to give point to many a speech;
as if a man were able to prove his own
patriotism by pointing out some one
else's lack of it. Now patriotism is
not a negative thing like that; it is
Pharisaism which prompts man to
cry out to witnessing world and q

Bear in mind that in Arnold's time
the principles of Democracy were be-
ing tested, but also bear in mindotbat
they have also been tested in no less
degree at any moment since. Great
dangers are not always noisy and bat
tle-like; they may be silent as the
king fishers, craw-tish and musk-rats
along the levees of the Mississippi,an
the more dangerous because of their
silence. 1t seems clear to me that q
nation that lives and grows is never
out of the experimental stage; it never
can, until it dies, take definite, I'M
changing place in history, and be
spoken of as having a sure glory or
shame. A nation sunk down deep in
unprogressive ways, like Denmark a
quarter of century ago, may pick
up and show enterprise, and a nation
like France lifted to the very heavens
by its privileges, may be so untrue, in
its individual life, to the things that
are good and pure and loyal to nature,
that its future becomes a dubious one.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In.
crease of Heart Troubles.
DO Not BE Alarmed, But Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Amer
icane, are certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, it is
more often the result Of weak stomachs
of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incurable
but not one case in hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion ls because both organs
are controlled by branches of the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu-
mogastric.
In another way, also the heart is affect
ed by that form of poor digestion, which
causes gas aud fermentation from half
digested food; there is feeling of OPP
preston and heaviness in the chest caused
by pressure of the distended stomach on
the heart and lungs, interfering with their
action; hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes ii thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals, of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be
found at most drug stores and which con-
tain valuable, harmless digestive elements,
in pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of stomach
trouble, except cancer of stomach.
Full sized packages of the tablets sold
by druggists at so cents.

OMAHA EXPOSITION.
space W WithOuU Charge, New HEX
leo VIII Not BE Represented.

In regard to the proposed exhibit New
Mexico would like to make at the Omaha
exposition next year, aud over which
considerable correspondence has been
had with the management of the Trans
mississippi exposition, xGovernor
Prince is in receipt of letter from Mr..
L. E. Bruce, manager ofexhibits, in which
he says:
1--WE have, we think, been exceedingly
liberal in our proposition as heretofore
presented to you, and we further regret
that the necessities of the exposition, to-
gether with equitable proposition to all
states, prevent Us from making any larg
er concession"
To this letter and position on the ques-
tion of space, Mr.. Prince replied as fol-
lows:
81 regret exceedingly the determination
of the management which prevents our
being represented.
"We stated the very minimum space
possible for our exhibit, that would not
be discreditable, but hoped that the ex
position management would accord double
that space so as to be more satisfactory
both to them and to US. Without the
minimum space an exhibit is impossible
If that space cannot be supplied, it ends
the matter of an exhibit from here
though we may send some literature re-
gardiug the territory.
"If there had been thought of a charge
for space to states and territories, the ex
position never could have been supported
by the Transmississipp congress. The
resolutions passed by that body, both al
Omaha and Salt Lake, we're adopted ir
entire ignorance that such charge was
contem plated"
The fact of the matter is that the expo
sition needs the display from this terri
tory much more than New Mexico needs
it, and unless the management of the
show sees fit to follow the precedent es
tablished by all other exposltlons ir
granting space to states and territories
without charge, New Mexico will continue
it's even tenor and progress without any
display at the Transmississipp exposi
tion, and thereby save some money.
