There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than in all the other sections
put together. and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease. and therefore requires coin
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarah Cure
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Tole-
do, Ohio. is the only constitutional cure on
the market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts ol-
rectly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. SEND

No statement or apology from Spain
can remove the effect of its minister's
assertions concerning autonomy and
reciprocity therefore Senior de Lome's
letter is likely to be factor in deter
ming the future relations of this gov
ernment toward Cuba. There is little
doubt that President Mckinley would
have taken steps before now to have
brought the war in Cuba to close, had
it not been for Spain's autonomy
scheme. Although he did not probab--
ly have more faith in the success of
autonomy than the average man famil-
lar with the situation in Cuba, Presi-
dent Mckinley felt bound to accept
the claim of Spain that it was honest
in its offer Of autonomy, and to allow
sufficient time to demonstrate its sue
cess or failure to elapse before taking
action. Regardless of what Spain may
do or not do, de Lome's letter has
changed the whole situation, and it is
hyt now thought in Washington that
anything short of SPANS developing
an unexpected ability to bring the war
in Cuba to an end herself will prevent
early action on the part of this govern
ment. Congress deserves credit for
having kept quiet and allowed the
President to manage this affair.

the time now being devoted to the dis
cussion of the treaty for the annexa-
tion Of Hawaii is being thrown away
the Committee on Foreign Relations
will, this week ascertain the full
strength Of the treaty in the Senate, by
bringing about vote that will serve
as test. Should the vote show that
the treaty is short of unnecessary two
thirds, it will at once be abandoned,
and the efforts of the Committee be de-
voted to pushing joint resolution pro-
viding for annexation TO yote.s Mem
bers of the Committee have not the
slightest doubt OF annexation at this

ly letter written by Senior de LONE,
late Spanish Minister to the q. s. In
that letter, Senior de LONE personally
insulted the President, as well as his
own government. When Washington
was In a ferment of excitement and
men of prominence who are usually
cool headed were advising all sorts of
hot-headed steps on the part of this
government, President Nc Kinley never
for moment lost the GOODNESS which
has alwaps marked his acts at critical
periods, although there isn't the slightest
doubt that his blood fairly boiled at de
Lome's insults. Like the true patriot
that be is, he sunk his indivuality and
acted only as the country's Executive.
He merely requested the Spanish gov
ernment, through the American minis
ter at Madrid, to recall de LONE.
Senior de LONE had anticipated that
and cabled his resignation, and it was
accepted by his government before the
request for his recall was presented.
The wisdom of this moderation on the
part Of the President is daily becoming
more apparent. There was another
important feature of de Lome's letter
in which he declared that autonomy
for Cuba and negotiations for a reci-
procity treaty where only shams. Had
this letter deem made public in legi-
innate manner, its contents would
have justified the most extreme mea-
sures upon the part Of this government,
but it was stolen, and that fact was
not mitigated in the least by the ac-
knowledgement of its authorship by de-
LONE. The government of Spain, by
accepting de Lome's resignation has re-
lieved this government of the disagree
able contingency of taking official cog
nizance of stolen letter, and at the
same time has placed. itself in posi-
tion from which it cannot escape with
out renouncing responsibility for the
contents of the letter and apologizing
for its having been written, without
losing the respect of this and every
other civilized nation. In fact, the
Spanish government has either got to
call de LONE liar or acknowledge it.
self to be both liar and hyrocrite.
Surely there is nothing in this situation
to cause any patriotic American to feel
otherwise proud of his President.

Mr.. Haworth besides being great actor,
as fine stage director and one who can
make an actor out of one if he has talent
to start with. Mr.. Harris never appeared
