A Philadelphia lady relates an experience of her own, saying tha

Tabules very highly commended for persons suffering from lack Of
appetite or any complicated stomach trouble, strongly urged her to
try them. Her stomach had seemed cold and she had had little
appetite for many weeks. She determined to try the Tabules and to
follow all the directions, but had little faith that there was any cure
for the serious complications that appeared to have taken possession
Of her. It seemed to her hardly possible that a 5o-cent package Of

the prohts of the manufacturers in our
own state and very largely add to its
material development? Too long have
we depended solely upon the soil: too
long nave our resources been poured
into the Golfers of the east. let MS
turn the tide, build manufactures, es-
tablish packeries, erect mills, utilize
our own raw products and reap the ben
ehts and profits which have heretofore
made multi-millionaires in the north and
east and paupers in the south.
While wise and bene6cent laws by the
general government are necessary and
every patriotic citizen should use his
utmost endeavors to have them enact
ed. yet in the individual himself to an
even greater extent lies the remedy for
prevailing evils. The siren voice of
the professional politician sings sweet
ly OF the prosperity to come, flercely de-
nouncing dangerous trusts and monopo-
lies, fearsome organizations and combi-
nations, proposing to enact laws to
crush them, and promising then sec
ond millennium; but the remedy is with
the individual. The politician talks in
the abstractS-we should act in concrete.
We are not the wards of the govern

fear need be had that laws will be

Informal and personal exchange Of views
occurred. They were on the same friend
ly lines as those at the formal confer
ence between the secretary of state and
Sir Wilfred early In the day, and the
general sentiment prevailed that the
present time was opportune for more
cordial intercourse between this country
and Canada. The announcement of the
meetings with Mr.. Kasson followed this
morning.
In view of these meetings II is point
ed out that much misrepresentation ex-
lists as to the preference which the
Canadian tariff law gives to Great
Britain. The law makes no mention of
Great Britain. 1t has two schedules,
maximum and minimum. At present
Great Britain enjoys the minimum rates,
but the same are open to all other coun-
tries, the United States included, as
there is nothing in the law which con-
templates giving Great Britain the ex-
elusive benefits of these lower rates.
II is understood to be the view of the
Canadian officials that the markets OF
Canada and the United States are so
closely connected, geographically, that
1t is essential that the countries look
to each other rather than to markets
thousands of miles distant and difficult
of access. This. 1t Is said, implies no
undue benefits or determinations be-
tween the United States or Great Brit
ain, but merely recognition of business
conditions.

Herr Lueders, n German Sub

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE German warship
Geflon is under orcers to sail for Port
au Prince, Hayti, this month in order 10
insist upon redress for the arrest of Herr
Lueders, German subject, and his un.
lawful imprisonment, for which Count
Schwerin, the German minister at Port

Lueders is now believed to be in Ger

Threatened mob violence to Germans.
The fitting out of the warship is being
FASTENED as much as possible. The Of
1icials of the German foreign Office do
not believe the matter will be adjusted
for some time, because the Haytian gov
eminent has assumed stubborn atti-
tude. The German newspapers are
blaming the government for the delay in
bringing Hayti to terms.
The German version of this affair is
that Lueders was sentenced to pay fine
of S4S and to undergo months i'm
which Lueders denies. ThereupOn he
demanded second trial. obtained it and
witnesses testified that they had not seen
him strike the policeman, but in spite of
this Lueders was re-sentenced, this time
to pay a fine of $500 and to undergo n
years Imprisonment. The original
trouble between Lueders and the police
man, it is claimed in his behalf was
due to the latter forcing his way into his
residence, contrary to the law, in order
to arrest one of his servants.
After Lueders' second trial the Ger.
man minister took the mater in hand and
or October II he went to the president
of Hayti. Augustin Simon Sam, and de-
manded in the name of the German EN-,
pern~ hat Lueders be set at liberty and

minister added that for every other da!

many) would demand an indemnity OF
$4,000 in gold. President Sam at first
refused to grant the minister's demand
and Lueders remained in prison six days
} longer. Then the German minister notl
fled the Haytian government that he mac
hauled down his flag and had sent the
archives of the German legation to the
legation of the United States, thus sever
ing all diplomatic relations with the gov
ernment of Hayti. ..:o
The action of the German minister
coused great deal of excitement at forl
