There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease.

by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced itlncura-
bic. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and there

new territory on this side 81 the
Atlantic.
The subject was brought to the
attention of our government by Mr..
Canning, secretary tor foreign affairs
in England, by reason of report that
the Holy Alliance, that had been
formed by the great continental
powers for the purpose of REFRESHING
the democratic uprising and re-estab-
fishing dissolution, intended to extend
its operations to America and AID
Spain in its warfare against revolted
colonies on this side of the Atlantic.
This was in opposition to the
interests of England and the protest
of President Monroe was by her sug-
gestion. While we have the highest
regard for the foundation OF the
government we cannot believe they in

for a hundred years ahead. If we
quote Washington the question should
be, what would he advise today In
substance he gave two reasons for iso-
lation, I've we're weak and needed to
keep to ourselves; the rest of the
world was distant and we could"
This was true in 1896, but it is not
true to-day. We are not weak, nor is
the rest of the world distant. Europe
is practically nearer New York to-day
than was Charlestown in Washington's
time. Did the Monroe Doctrine
pledge the United States to keep
hands off in any part of the world?
No, by implication it did give q
pledge that the government would not
interfere by force of arms in the con-
troll of weaker States unless bv invita-
ton, but would sustain the position of
States civilized and stable enough to
deserve independence from outside
influence.

or for the party Mr.. Truesdell would
consider the nomination for that
office q mark of appreciation of his
work, as we'll as mark of esteem of
his fathers outspoken Republicanism.
The auditor, treasurer, sheriff and
judge of probate will be the four items
of interest in the Republican county
convention. The place of representa-
tive may make q fifth item. In only
one, the sheriff's Office, will the ques-
ton of carelessness or incompetency
enter. The question of giving a pri-
soner his liberty to work out fine, of
pursuing alleged wrong-doers without
q warrant of arrest, of assisting in
making collection agency of the mu-
niciple court without obtaining pri
soner, and various other similar points
will be left for Mr.. Pease to answer.

With r. S. Pickett's announce
ment for the Republican nomination
for sheriff there are four candidates in
the field. VIM. Week of Walnut
Grove, 0. J. Olmstead of the same
place and r. S. Pickett of this city
being three, and it is understood that
the present incumbent is candidate,
making the fourth. Mr.. Pickett's
candidacy not only complexities the
fight for that Office, but it also
complexities the fight in this city
for the delegates. Mr.. Pickett resides
in the first ward has numerous friends
there, and they will probably assist
him in making his fight for the Office.
He is considered as we'll qualified, if
not better, as any candidate looking
for the Office, and he is among the
early settlers of Redwood county.

want to repay Morgan for work done
for Sheriff Pease two years ago, accor-
ding to the statements of Rev. b.

of that town, who is taking an active
interest in the Tompkins campaign.
While the Borgs and others of Delhi
township favor Mckay, and hereto
fore have always been the predomi-

the fight this year will be closer than
ever. There are several Everett votes
in the township, also, and a split in
the delegation is not improbable.
Up to the present time the Tomp-
kins-Lankard influence seems to be
going hand in hand. Of course, it is
pretty generally known that Morgan
