Teddy" Roosevelt has shown that
the limit OF his versatility has not yet
been reached by assuming the roll Of
official Whitewater. His letter exon
Grating Constructor Bowles, who has
charge of the Brooklyn navy yard and
who was charged with political and
other favoritism in running that yard,
gives Mr.. Bowles an unusually thick
coat of whitewash. But there is one
black streak that Teddy" may have
put in as o sort of tip to Mr.. Bowles.
It is the following language in Tied

Constructor Bowles will be especially
called to that part.of Commander Davis

JUST
ONE THING

Is cured by DR.. Bells Pine
Tar Honey. 1t cures that every time.
That one thing is Inflammation of the
mucous membranes of the lungs,
bronchial tubes and throat, coughs,
colds, chest troubles, Group, catarrh of
the head or throat, cold in the head,
la grippe, asthma, bronchitis, whoop-
ing cough, sore throat, loss of voice or
hoarseness are all due to Inflammation
of the mucous membranes. DR.. Bells
Pine Tar Honey is quick, sure and
safe cure for this particular class of
complaints. It is not good for other
complaints. 1t is pleasant to take.
Children like it and will ask for it. 1t
is harmless. It is made from pine, tar
and honey. Old folks know that these
are good, harmless medicines. In DIR.
Bells Pine Tar Honey they are COM
bined by new and scientific methods
with vegetable plants, giving them re-
markable medicinal value. DIR. Bells
Pine Tar Houey will not cure consump-
ton. 1t will ward it off in its incipiency
and give relief and comfort in its later
stages. There isn't another cough
remedy ON the market that does not
claim to cure consumption. Such a
claim is a ridiculous falsehood. Put
no dependence in remedies that need q
lie to sell them. DR.. Bells Pine Tar
Honey is put up in e5c., SOC. and 81
bottles. If the druggist does not keep
it, it will be sent upon receipt of price
by the E. e. Sutherland Medicine Co.,
sole manufacturers, Fountain Park
Paducah, KY. There is no other remedy
''oust as good" When a druggist says
is he is thinking of his profits and not
of your welfare. IT is A HOUSE,

Boss Hanna's man Dick may be re-
lieved of the management of the Hanna
campaign in Ohio. He has got himself
the Ill will Of the republican magnates
for having bungled his work in bribing
certain Ohio populists. Instead of u.s.
Ing cash, he was thoughtless enough to
have used checks and these disagreed
BILE proofs of bribery have gotten into
the wrong hands. The magnates afore-
said expected Dick to arrange for the
nomination of a straight populist state
ticket in Ohio, and for other populist as
sistants to the republican state and leg
islative tickets, especially the latter,
but they didn't expect him to do it SO
clumsily as to be caught at it. AS no
explanation has been or can be put for
ward by Dick that will satisfy an in
telligent and unprecedented mind that
he has not been engaged in wholesale
bribery, it is believed in Washington
that Boss Hanna will seek to escape
responsibility for the bribery by pre-
tending to rebuke Dick by taking the
management Of the campaign out of his
hands. Dicks bribery has greatly
strengthened democratic hopes of de-
feating Hanna.

It is fact Of more than passing i'm
portance that the bitterest publ, at
tack ever made on the present civil
service system is contained in a fifty
column speech in one of the belated
numbers of the Congressional Record,
which was occasionally published up to
last week for the purpose of giving
members of congress o chance to talk
TO their constituents through the me-
dunn Of ''leave-to-print" speeches
which purport to have beeu spoken ON
the floor. This attack on the civil
service system was prepared by Repre-
sentative Grosvenor, of Ohio, the bosom
friend of Mr.. Mckinley and one of the
lieutenants of Boss Hanna. In it he
claims to have the records of Ell men
who were criminals, but who secured
offices under the civil service rule, and
accuses the civil service commission Of
violating the law daily.
