For Spanish Bonds.

There are $4OO,OOO,OOO worth of
Spanish bonds which a recognition
of Cuba's independence would render
worthless.
Mark Hanna, as the attorney for
Spain, has exerted himself to the ut
most to prevent the recognition of
Cuba as an independent power, and
Mckinley has kept all his amateur
diplomats in line to defeat the will of
the American people and to protect
the men who hold Spanish bonds.
That is the secret of all the delay
which has been made. That is the
reason Mckinley can see nothing in
the destruction"of the Maine and the
murder of 266 American sailors that
is worthy of any more severe charac-
terization than "a lamentable Incl
dent"
To intervene between Spain and
Cuba without recognizing the indie.
pendence of the insurgents would
render this country liable for the pay
ment of the $4OO,OOO,OOO worth OF
Spanish bonds. If the debate in the
senate has established no other fact,
it has at least plainly demonstrated
that the administration is striv-
ing to protect the bonds of SPAIN

dy fultills every wish in relieving
pain in the back and kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un.
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most dis

The Most Favorable Season

To cure catarrh is in the spring. Dur
ing the winter the patient is likely to
take fresh cold and have a set back.
But If treatment is begun in the spring
and continued into the summer, moth
ing need be feared for the succeeding
winter. Of course, it all depends on
the medicine. There are great many
catarrh medicines which relieve the
most disagreeable symptoms temper
arily. Pe-ru-na cures more slowly but
also more permanently than this class
of medicines. A course of Pe-ru-na
during the spring will cure catarrh
more quickly than at any other sea-
son. Mr.. Walter H. Tucker, Concord,
N. H., writes DR.. Hartman as follows:
when began taking your medicines
four years ago was suffering with
chronic catarrh. I had taken nearly
two dozen bottles of a so-called catar-
rh cure without much relief. Pe-ru-na
cured the night sweats and dizziness;
it cured the cough have had from
my cradle; can say it saved my life. /"
DR.. Hartman has published in book
form series of lectures on various
phases of chronic catarrh, which he
calls "Winter Catarrh." this book
will be sent free to any address by

Company, Columbus, Ohio.

petty differences must be hushed, all
political strife cease. The citizen
body must rise to and maintain the
true dignity of the American nation.
We all must remember that unjust
criticism is much cheaper than eS.
ecutive wisdom Under such condit.
ions peace would be not only possible
but probable.
But if we must fight then let us fight
as have Uncle Sans soldiers and
sailors always. If they turn towards,
traitors, they will be adding something
new to the annals of Amercican his
tory, while on the other hand, tho
they achieve brilliant victories and
success it would be but adding to a
long list of others.
Still let us hope for and cry peace,
peace, if it can be had without 8 sacri.
flee of national honor. But if it is to
be war, dire, terrible, awful war, this
1 vouch for-that those who are the
most persistent in demanding con
tinuation of peace, will if they fail
be the most persistent in securing it
on the field of battle.
Still let US continue to hope that by
a peaceful settlement of this Spanish
difficulty we may take another step
toward the formation of a worlds un-
ion. Let it be mighty stride toward
the realization of that divine idea
that the poet Tennyson had when he
sang:
Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer,
And the battle flags were furled

In a practical way the question of
tree culture appeals to the interest of
every one owning spare rod of land.
II q tree serves no other purpose than
ornament, it conduces to cheerfulness,
and, as an everyday medicine an ounce
Of cheerfulness is worth pound of
drugs. Apart from ornament, trees for
culture may be selected to furnish shade
and shelter sufficient to modify climate
and also supply useful timber. Take,
for instance, the white pine, which has
the merit that it grows everywhere from
the lakes to Georgia and from the At
Iantic to the Rockies. 1t grows on the
prairies and in the extreme north as far
west as the Pacific. 1t will thrive well
on the poorest soil, of course doing bet

ter on good soil. 1t would be very val
liable in the farming regions to form
screens against the wind and on high
purpose of shade and ornament. 1t
would make a very handsome effect if
planted in line, say, 10, 15 or 20 feet
apart, around the boundaries of the
farm, marking the extent of the farm
er's possessions. 1t would also be useful
planted to the west and north of farm
buildings and houses as protection
against wind and storm.
The white pine cannot be transplant
ed readily after it is higher than, say,
three to four feet. The best and cheap
est way to procure it for purposes of
transplantation would be to get seedlings

six or eight inches high, from nurseries
dealing in evergreen seedlings. There
are such nurseries in the neighborhood

seedlings can be bought very oheaply
The charge probably would not exceed

words, farmer or farmers boy can

them carefully for year or two, and

The wind and the process of thawing
and freezing are great enemies to vege-
tation. This is shown by the English
ivy. It does not do well in the climate
about the Atlantic seaboard or on the
western prairie. 1t is presumed ordina-
rily that it's proper home is England, the
milder climate and the great moisture
of that country favoring its growth.
This is not true. In the climate of Cali
fornia, and even of southern California.
in the regions where they have little Or
no rain, the English ivy grows more
Iuxuriantly and rapidly than in Eng
land. Evidently water is not necessity
for English ivy, and it fails to grow in
the colder part Of the United States
mainly because of the freezing and
thawing. It has doubtless been observed
by many that it grows better on the
north side of building where the
ground is continually frozen than it
does on the south side where the SUMS
heat occasionally penetrates.
In connection with certain soils and
certain sections the question often arises
whether timber cannot be cultivated
with greater profit than any other crops.
The great trouble in timber cultivation
is one must wait so long to realize any
thing from the crop. In Europe, notably
in Germany, large areas are planted
