But money-scorn the filthy thing.
Don't let the pure innocent editor know

away. The Lord loves a cheerful giver.
He'll take care of the editor. Don't
worry about the editor. He has q

The Governors Message.

Gov. Turney's message to the Fifti.

long document and embraces quite Q
number Of subjects, some of which are
discussed at length. The views and
recommendations given in the message
are Of fixed character-good and bad
and these comprise so many matters
Of public interest they con not all be
fully discussed within the limits Of an
editorial article. We will refer briefly
in this article to the Governors views
on our election system.

that the Governor does not divest him

lace.
NEW YORK, January 11.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Madrid says: The
popular impatience with the Govern.
ment because of the failure to suppress
the rebellion in Cuba and the Philip
pine Islands is daily increasing. Thou
sands of young men of Spain have been
sent to Cuba where they have met their
death from disease or the hsrdships Of
the campaign.
Their families believe that they
would yet be alive were it not for the
procrastinating policy Of Capt. Gen.
Weyler, who, despite his promises to
put down the insurrection, has ap.
parently accomplished little, while
his unacclimated troops have been dy.
ing by scores of hundreds.
The leaders of both the Conservative
and Liberal parties are distrusted, and
the political outlook is chaotic. Ru-
mors of change in the ministry are
frequently put into circulation and as
frequently denied, but in the present
temper Of the people the succession Of
the Liberals to power would not ban
ish the distrust which prevails every
where. The future is looked forward
to with much anxiety.

boost him. The holding of meetings
by his partisans to urge his appointment
places him in the attitude of u candi-
date who is pulling the wires for the
place. This is doubtless not the best
means of securing the end worked for.
The accepted idea is that a Cabinet
officer should be called by the Presi.
dent, and that cabinet place is not
one to be worked for. While the Presi.
dent elect may be moved by special
political considerations in the selection
OF some of his cabinet advisers, his
main purpose in making his selections
is supposed to be to bring into his
counsels such men as he esteems would
be most valuable to his administration
in the several departments. The efforts
of the followers aud supporters of any
politician to induce President to call
their favorite into the Cabinet hardly
comports with the proprieties which
hedge about chief executive.-Nash-

ut takes money to run newspaper. r."
St. John kansas News.
What an exsggerstion; whata whop-
per. 1t has been disproved thousand
times; it is clean case of airy fancy.
1t doesn't take money to run news

table institution, begging concern,
highway robber. A newspaper is q
child Of the air, creature of dream.
Tt can 60 on and on and on, and any
other concern would be in the hands

1t takes wind to run a newspaper; it
takes gall to run newspaper. 1t takes
a scintillating, acrobatic imagination,
and half dozen white shirts, and
railroad pass to run newspaper. But
money Heavens to Betsy and six hands
round, who ever needed money in con-
Quoting newspaper? Kind words are
the medium of exchange that do busi-
ness for the editor-kind words and
church social tickets. When you see
an editor with money, watch him.
He'll be paying his bills and dlsgracing
his profession. Never give money to
an editor. Make him trade it out. He
likes to swap.
Then when you die, after having
stood around for years and sneered at
the editor and his little Jim crow pa

weeping children, and when she reads

A Dangerous View Of Life.

We are constantly confronted with
the fact that neither material advan.
tages nor intelligence nor education
nor even a good moral record is proof
against disloyalty to life. Many causes
are adduced, grief, shame, remorse,
despair being among the most numer-
GUS. But prehaps the foundation cause
which underlies all others may be said
to be the common habit of thinking
that life is to be valued only for the
happiness 1t yields. Many people grow
up with the idea that II personal life
be not personally happy 1t is useless.
Thus, when they come to some epoch
when sorrow triumphs over joy, failure
over success, pain over pleasure, life
loses all meaning to them and is easily
parted from. This view OF life is es
sentially untrue and most injurious

Exposure to Disease

Does not necessarily mean the contrac-
tion of disease provided the system is
in a vigorous condition, with the blood
pure and the organs in healthy action.
When in such a condition contagion
is readily resisted and the disease germs
can find no Judgement. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is the best medicine to build up
the system because it makes pure, rich
blood, and pure blood is the basis Of
good health. In cold weather it is es-
pecially necessary to keep up the health
tone, because the body is subject to
greater exposure and more liable to
disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the safe
guard of health.

ARBITRATION TREATY SIGNED.
No More War Between English Speaking Ma
tiOns.

tiOuos
WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE
proposition for general arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britian is now an accomplished
fact. Lord Salisbury has assented to
the last suggestion from this side. OF
course, the treaty, unlike the Venezu.
Ian agreement, must be submitted to
the United States Senate for it's ap
proval, and in view of the short time
remaining OF the present session Of
OF Congress every effort will be made
to have it submitted to that body at
the earliest possible moment, probably
within a day or two. The general
scope of the treaty is substantial as
has been outlined IN the Associated
Press dispatches. While full details
are not yet obtainable, 1t can be stated
that ample provision has. been made
to guard against failure Of the arbi.
traitors to agree through a tie vote.
Proper provision has been made in
such case for reference of the matter to
a deciding authority, who will bs fixed
upon in each case by the tribunal it.
self. It.was Secretary Olney's insis.
tence upon the absolute necessity OF
guarding against tie vote which led
to delay in the final draft Of the
treat, after all the other details had
been adjusted to the common satisfac-
ton Of the representatives OF the two
nations.
The consumation of the Venezuelan
arbitration agreements is considered
in official and diplomatic circles as q
mosts eventful achievement. The
Scope OF the General arbitration treaty
has been made by wire, the purpose
being to have 1t cover all the subjects
which usually arise to disturb the
relations between two countries. As q
rule the details Of treaties are shrouded
in the greatest mystery, but in this
case the Associated Press was able to
give such complete and exclusive in
formation as to the exact details OF
both the agreements that the public
has been fully informed of them and il
is unnecessary to repeat them. Aside
from the consumation Of the agree.
ments 1t has been an interesting feature
that all the negotiation were carried
on in Washington, both the Venezuelan
and general arbitration treaties being
signed here. 1t has been largely a
work between Nj. Olney and Sir Julian
Pauncefote, although the latter at all
times was in close communication with
the British Foreign Office. Sir Julian
aided in the consumation In . way
which would have been impossiLle,if
he had not felt deep personal interest
in the successful conclusion of the me-
gotiations. When they halted for a
time and seemed in danger Of failure,
through a misunderstanding of q de-.
tail, the Ambassador went to London
where extended conferences were held
with Lord Salisbury. The result being
that Sir Julian returned and continued
the negotiation to the successful end
now secured.
