DR.. Mcdonald
The Specialist.
Office Parlors at the Dyckman
House, Paw Paw, on
Thursday, Nov. "a.
One Day Only Each Month.

DR.. Mcdonald has for years
made a study and speciality of
chronic and lingering diseases
that require skillfull medical
treatment for their cure; such
cases as family physicians fail to
help and pronounce incurable are
particularly solicited, especially
those over dosed with strong
mineral drugs and poisons. DIR.
Mcdonald uses only the purest
medicines from the vegetable
kingdom. He pays attention to
the cause of the disease and in
structs his patients the way to
health and happiness.
DIR. Mcdonald can show hun
dreds of testimonials in the hand
writing of grateful patients who
have been cured by him, when
others fail. He is so familiar
with the human system that he
is able to read all diseases of the
mind or body correctly at glance
without asking any questions.
Thousands of invalids are being
treated daily for diseases that
they do not have, while few
drops of medicine directed to the
seat of the disease would give
speedy relief and permanent cure
in very short time. Good health
is the most precious jewel in our
crown of happiness. With it the
world is bright, without it, misery
claims us for her own. If you
are sufferer you should weigh
well these words; a person who
neglects his health is guilty of a
great wrong to himself and a
grave injury to humanity. The
name of DR.. Mcdonald, the we'll
known specialist in the cure of
chronic and lingering diseases,
has become a household word in
thousands of homes which his
skill and wonderful remedies have
made happy by restoring dear
ones to health after all hopes
were lost. The doctor is grad
uate of the highest and best med
ical colleges and his advanced
theories in the treatment OF
chronic diseases surprise the
most skeptical. All chronic dis

Triple Alliances.

1t has been suggested by recent foreign
LEWIS dispatches that France, Spain and
Russia are about to form new triple al
lance" having for its immediate object the
regulation of affairs on the Morocco coast.
1t is not difficult, in the light of recent
events, TO associate France and Spain III
some such enterprise, and Russias interests
are at present more or less directed toward
the same point as those of France. Russia
would in a large degree doubtless be a sort
OF silent partner in this kind of alliance.
Opinions differ as to the stability of her
friendship for France. In some quarters 1t
is believed that 1t is to be measured by the
period and extent of Frances usefulness to
Russia in the accomplishment Of the lat
ters far eastern ambitions. But for pres
ent purposes 1t suffices that Russia and
France are Joined by bond of sympathy;
that France and Spain are united by fnan-
oial ties: that both France and Russia are
deeply interested In the control of the Med.
iterranean. and that Spain Is seeking
friends.
Suppose this alliance were to become a
fact, and the old Dreibund, composed of
Germany, Austria and Italy. were to re-
main intact, and q new combination, even

the height of its activity of force and send
it Upon the tack of pure reason and per-
suasion is a task of the most tremendous
proportions Is it feasible? Is the PROPOSE
tion more than Quaker's dream?
The czar and his advisers will be pre-
pared for some distrust of their motives.
What will China say, while still smarting
under the heavy blows of Russla's mailed
hand? What will Japan say. with lively
recollections of the exercise of Russia's
power in the matter of the indemnity de-
n.anded of China? Turkey will at least
smile. And England? Mr.. Chamberlain
may be expected to propose sending the
English representatives to the conference
on one Of the most powerful of Englands
battle ships.
Disarmament is, of course, out of the
question. Discussion would inevitably take
the form of an effort to agree on terms as
to increase of armament. To check further
heavy expenditures in that direction would
produce practical suggestions. But for how
Ions and to what extent could any of the
leading powers be committed? The czar is
a good man. of progressive tendency. but If
he were TO die tomorrow by disease or vio-
lence what would the future policy of Rus
sia be? Who could say that his successor
would follow in his footsteps? Who could
give assurance that the peace policy would
last after the completion of the trans-Sibe-
rian railroad? Queen Victoria is a great
influence for peace. But she is old and
growing infirm. If she were to die tomor-
Tow what would be the effect on English
policy? MIR Chamberlain, Mr.. Balfour and
MIR. Curzon are all men of aggressive views,
and are to be considered in any forecast of
EngIsh affairs.

&C Cuntrys hrst war was fought for inde-
Pendence, another was fought to emphasize

the world either III our armament or in our
aspirations. Our policy is our own. de-
vised without prejudice to others, and hav-
ing in view only the advancement of the
cOuntryS legitimate interests. But the
United States is making no compacts with
foreign powers for peace or anything else.
Why should it do SO. Its own ends for
peace, and it will be a factor for keeping
the peace within the sphere of its influence
and authority without special arrange
ment of any kind. We need give bond
for future good behavior toward any power

now suggested as possible by late happen
ings composed of the United States, Great
Britain and Japan, were to spring into ex-
istenee. The world would present a curl
ously symmetrical assortment of unions.
The great powers would then be operating
in conjunction with one another and for
antagonisic purposes. The greatest ele-
ments of strength and endurance would
unquestionably lie with the Anglo-Amer
ican-Japanese alliance. The legitimate ter
ritorial interests of the elements of such a
comb bination would conflict least of all.
The naval forces of the united nations
would suffice to control the seas.
An alliance between England and Japan
is not at all improbable, the interests of
the two nations having been steadily draw
ing closer together during several years.
During the war with China the British
sympathies were largely with Japan. For
some seasons there has been practical
understanding between these powers in the
disposition of their naval forces. Later
events have suggested an alliance between
Japan's land force and England's naval
force as almost essential for both parties.
At the same time the American and En-
glish sentiments have been approaching the
highest plane of mutually ever known in
causes tending to lessen the traditional Jap
anese friendliness for the United States
have been swept away. The annexation of
Hawaii has removed one large cause for
friction. while Hawaifs payment of sum
of money in indemnity for the exclusion of
Japanese laborers has allayed whatever re-
sentiment may have been felt in Japan
toward the American government The ap-
pearance Of the United States as a factor
in the far east through Admiral Deweys
victory at Manila has served to suggest
even more pointedly to England and Japan
the desirability of having Uncle Sam as
partner.
The American policy is against all for
NAL alliances, triple or otherwise, and these
things may not come to pass in the form of
definite associa ations, but their possibility is
indicated by the trend of events and by the
crystallization of European forces into
angles more and more pointedly adverse to
the interests of all three of the nations
involved in the latest scheme of triple al
lance.

A Bryan Blast bN Proxy.

Ex-Gov. Stone of Missouri, during a brief
sOjourn in New York, has been expressing
himself on the subject of the political sit
uation of the day and on the prospects for
1900. HIS deliverances command attention
both by reason OF his ability and his recog-
nized position a national leader of the
democratic party. Not unlikely, it is
thought, he may succeed Mr.. Jones of Ar
kansas as chairman of the democratic
national committee and thereby become the
director of his party's next presidential
campaign He is an intimate personal
friend of Mr.. Bryan. and favors his re-
nomination for the presidency
Gov Stone is an expansionist That is to
say, he favors the annexation of Porto Rico
at once, and intimates that Cuba will be
ours in time. In fact, as to Cuba, he makes
the interesting observation that if the re-
pubhcans, in keeping with the declaration
Of Congress, should care to make an issue
out Of the proposition for Independent gov
ernment for Cuba the democracy would
take the side of immediate annexation.
But Gov Stone expects all the war ques-
tons TO be settled by 1900, and silver again
TO be the issue. The old candidate on the
old platform is evidently his desire and
calculation The widening OF the country's
commercial scope, and the establishment of
more intimate business relations with the
great nations now conducting their finan-
clal affairs on a gold basis, evidently cut
no ngure in Gov. Stones estimate of the
situation He still thinks the United States
able simply, by opening its mints to the
Tree coinage of silver at 10 to l, to change
the money standard of the world and ad-
vance values of every description There
fore he proposes another try for control of
the country with the democratic shibboleth
of 1886.
Like other silverites, Gov Stone is dis
turDed over the desire OF the New York
democrats to ignore the Chicago platform
in their coming state campaign. His worry
seems unnecessary. The New York demoe-
racy is as fully committed to free silver as
II can be to anything. 4 little hugger-mug-
ger more or less this year will not count.
GOV Stone has only to make sure of a
majority in the next democratic national
convention to commit the New York
democracy TO any platform he and his
friends may choose to write The New
York democrats have a care only for req
Iarity-" They would rather be regular,
than be right Indeed, their only idea of
being right is to be regular" The somer-
sault they threw in 1896 on the money ones
uon is a standing testimonial to their
agility.

Restore Our Merchant Marine.

That our warships came out of the con-

having destroyed almost the entire navy OF

the nation to a sudden realization of its
capabilities and resources as a builder of
ships.
world there is no reason why we should
not develop the greatest merchant marine
that floats the seas. If we are about to
enter upon new era of commercial expan-
sion as a result of recent territorial con-
quests. which give US new highways to the
east and new opportunities in the West
Indies, 1t Is time to seriously consider the
problem Of how to divert our exports and
imports to American bottoms. In other
words, the war brings up for the considera-
ton OF Congress the possibility of restoring
