The murderer who, at dead of night,
creeps, stealthily out to bury the dead and
nangied body of his victim inspires men
with horror and dread. There IS murderer

This dread monster IS called consum ptio11.
The approach of consumption Is slow and
insidious. First there is a slight disorder
of the digestion The appetite IS Fsoor and
the nourishing properties OF the food are not
properly assinilated. The blood becomes
thin and impure. The body begins to starve
Old tissues of the body are not properly re-
placed by new The lung tissues are not
properly uourished and are inert and half

soil for the germs of consumption which

It is reported that the Georgia anti
trust law has effectually banished every
trust from the state The most suspic-
ious circumstance connected with this
announcement is that the trusts them
selves concede their defeat. 1t is al
ways well to beware of the enemy
that surrenders at the first blow. He
may be preparing to attack from the
rear. If, however, the Georgia law is
the success which both it's friends and
it's enemies allege it to be, every state
in the Union should at once engraft a
copy of it on its statutes, unless they
have different variety of trusts in
Georgia from that found elsewhere.

POLITICS IN ANTWERP.


versal Suffrage.
Especial Correspondence
ANTWERP, Dec. 26.-During the cleo
ton campaigns in Antwerp, Place
Verte, the principal square, is thronged.
Men and women Ioiter among the trees
as if on the lookout for news. An unu-
sual number of gendarmes patrol with
eyes watchfuI. From brazan threats the
military band volleys forth the usual
morning and evening concerts.
The fight is usually between the Lib
eral party and the church. The Socialist
party, the Reds, are ignored. The clergy
have been in power for years. But of
late years the people have made a firm
stand against the clergy. If the church
ever again elects its man, the Liberals
will make trouble.
Every tree in Place Verte becomes
sort of postboard for co1ored handbllls.
Workmen and civilians boldly tack up
their yellow, the Liberals color. Then
priests in black robes and monks in
brown sackcloth stealthily replace the
yellow with black, the sign of their own
party. The red Of the Socialists is ig
nored.
Underfoot the square is like crazy
quilt patched with handbills in yellow,
black and red.
The Liberals thrust yellow cards upon
stray citizens, like soldiers firing at ran
dom. Socialists, marshaled by men with
black boards and rosettes. march round
the square shouting and waving great
red flag, and high above the din Is the
clang of the cathedral bells. The multi
tude fingers yellow paper and turns its
back Oil the red flag, but it cannot be-
come deaf to the bells.
Thus each party conducts its campaign
the city over.

hand.
Then I went next door to the cafe.
In due time, "Hand it on" said the
waiter, returning with my change wrap

boils, a seething mass, like waters in
the rapids. Election returns begin to

upon a great bulletin in the window of
the newspaper Office.
The cathedral bell tolls 5. At the
bulletin is q man setting down the last

The faulty memory displayed by a
number of witnesses in the Santa Fe
rebate case at Chicago emphasizes the
fact that there is often too much delay
in bringing cases to trial, for properly
serving the ends of justice to all con-
cerned. If Mr.. Reinhart's trial had ta-
ken place Immediately after his in
dictment, as it should, witnesses mem
cries might have served them better
Men cannot be expected to remember
matters in which they have no personal
concern, forever. Less delay in judic-
ia1 matters would greatly improve the

BY taking up the Pacific railroads
bill, congress has hit upon promising
device for preventing any legislation
between now and March 4. 1t is almost
certain that the entire remaining time
of the session will be taken up in talk
on this measure. The prospect is fair
that both the bill and the country will
be talked to death at the same time.

LOOKS RATHER DIsCoURAG ING.
Poor Prospect of Getting Tariff Bill Out
of Conference.

Washington, July 12-The tariff con-
ferees find themselves today apparently
less certain than at any previous time
as to the date when they will reach a
final agreement. They are gradually dis
posing of one problem after another, but
still have several left on which are
marked disagreements. Two of the ques-
tions which it is stated upon good autho-
rity, have been decided recently are those
affecting lead ore and white pine lumber.
There has been determined fight on the
part of the House conferees to get lead
ore back to 1 cent pound, but Senator
Jones of Nevada representing the lead
mining industry, has taken such a firm
position against any change from the
Senate figures, that the House conferees
apparently have yielded finally.
On white pine the House has won and
unless the decision which has been
reached is revised, the House schedule
fixing the rate at So per 1000 feet will be
reported. There is, however, a most
active effort being made on the Republi
can side of the chamber, even more per-
sistently than on the Democratic side.
There is even talk among Republican SEN
ators on the probable necessity for an.
other caucus to determine the course to
be pursued with reference to the confer
ence report.

Tariff Conferees No Nearer Agreement
Than Ever.

Washington, July 1a~-The representa-
tt yes of the houses of Congress, in the
co. Inference on the tariff bill, spent busy
day., devoted the most part to work in the
conference room.
1t is known that almost the entire day
was devoted to the sugar and wool sched-
ules and the best Information obtainable
is that q final agreement was not reached
upon either.
At one time during the day
the Senate and House con-
ferees separated, the House men
repairing to the Ways and Means
com1nl5 tee room. 1t was generally be-
lieved that this action on the part of the
House was 1,the pnrpose.of deciding
upon line of policy on sugar, but they de-
clined to give on any information.
Contrary to published reports it is posi-
lively asserted TIN 1t the sugar schedule has
not been agreed upon, and in fact, that
all the big questions before the conference
which have seemingly been settled are
only tentatively agreed to, one side or the
other insisting chat they shall be held

the conference more or less today and
