One thing is certain: It will not do to
fool with bad cold. No one can tel
what the end will be. Pneumonia,
catarrh, chronic bronchitis, if not con-
sumption, invariably result from a
neglected cold. 1t is surprising too, that
bad colds are SO often neglected when
one remembers how easily and at what
little expense they may be cured. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is always
prompt and effectual, and costs but a
trife; Is or so cents is a trile as COM
pared with the disastrous effects of a
neglected cold. Mr.. Abner Mercer of

speaking of this remedy, said: ''Some-

There is no way of knowing how much
truth there is in the stories that come
from Washington that some of the
Democratic Senators are disposed to kill
the British arbitration treaty because OIL
ney made it, and that others are inclined
she same way because Cleveland would
get too much glory out of it, but in view
of the relations that have existed between
the Democratic Senators and the adj
ministration for four years past they
cannot be regarded rs very improbable.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
New York Post.

We cannot credit the reports from
Washington that there is real danger of
the Senate's rejecting the arbitration
treaty. Delay In ratification must, OF
course, be expected, and a possible carry
ing over of the treaty to the next Con-
gIess. Six mouths time is given by
the terms of the treaty itself. A certain
amount of mutteIing must be allowed
for, and time for the Senate to decide
whether les strong dislike of Mr.. Olney
compels 1t to reject the treaty which he
has negotiated without regard to It's NOR
it's. But that more than one-third of the
Senate will be found ultimately and
deliberately prepared to Illustrate an
agreement whinl the press of the c1yi-
lZed world is already hailing as one of
the greatest achievements and signs of
promise of the whole century, seems to
us incredible. Still the doubt suggested
in the Washington news ought to rouse
ench lover of peace in the land to bring
every possible Influence to bear npsn
Senators. Public and private appeals
should he yuade to rain upon them. Civic
and Religious gatherings should omit
no opportunity to lot their mind be
known. All those great agencies fol
peace which were SO effectively put in
motion a year ago, when it was a CUES
tiop of possible war with England,
should now crown their labors by a vigo
Tous effort to make sure of peace with
England for al time to cone.

The measure known as the free home
stead bill which passed the Senate opens
to settlement all public lands acquired
from the Indians, free of any payment to
the government. except the usual land
Office fees, and releases from payment
those who have heretofore settled on
these lands. Z The Commissioners of the
general land office estimates the number
of acres involved at something like 80, =
900, coo acres which at the prices hereto
fore established would have netted the
government about $35, GOO, 900. 1t is
claimed the lands are mainly arid and
til ose who settle ON them will receive
soanty products from the soil. AS this
bill passed the House it embraced only
lands in Oklahoma, but the Senate has
SO amended it as to include all Indian
lands.

Mayor Strong's demand that tariff
bill be passed that will stand for forty
years, undoubtedly reflects the feelings
of the vast majority Of business men and
manufacturers in this country. Contin-
ued agitation of the tariff has kept bust
II ess disturbed and uneasy until there
has grown up a demand that it shall
cease, even If there has to be some yield
ing on the part of both sides to the con-
troversy. With the tariff pendulum con-
tinually swinging back and forth, no
business is safe from violent fiuctua-
tions which cannot be foreseen and
against which the only defence,
and that partial one, is to
confine business to the narrowest
possible limits. As between a constant
ly changing tariff, or one that is con-
stantly under agitation, and one that
is likely to remain unchanged for
many years, we believe sthat every wit
ness who testified before the ways and
means committee would choose the lat
ter even if the protection In it fell
considerably short Of what he asked
and desired.

Is Life Worth Living?

If there is an individual on earth who
is excusable for thus interrogating him.
self, it is the unhappy mortal who suf-
fers from malaria in some one Of its di-
abolical forms. This is no difficult con
undrum, however. Life is worth liy-
ing by any man or woman who enjoys
good health, al d is not harrassed by a
reproachfnl conscience. The malarial
scourge. heavily laid on, is terrible
one for the poor sufferer to endure. A
series of freezings. screenings and
sweats-the last leaving one as limp and
as strengthless as dish rag, are hard
indeed, recurring as they do with
fiendish regularity. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is the worldwide known
preventive and curative OF this class OF
maladies, either in the form of ague and
fever, bilious remittent. dumb ague and
ague cake. Used with persistence they
will, rely upon it, eradicate disease
from the system. They also conquer
rheumatism, kidney and bladder COM
plants. nervousness. dyspepsia, liver
complaint and constipation, and renew
failing strength.
