EDITORIAL NOTES.

Gov. Tanner is several points ahead
Of the mos extreme advocate OF States
rights.
"Teddy" is tiptop dodger, but he
couldn't dodge those Canal frauds
they are too glaring.
The Cubans could not be more an
xious to hold Office if they were full
Aedged American citizens.
"Teddy's" running mate didn't lose
his voice until he tackled the canal
steal; then they clapped muEzle on
him.
Riding on canal is usually slow
and smooth, but the New York Repub-
Icans are finding it furiously fast and
swfully rough.
The picture of Charles Dupuy, the
head of the new French ministry. looks
like Gen. Fitz Lee would look with a
pompadour hair cut.
Senator Quay says that plum tree
expression promises to become famous
He isn't the first man to mix the terms
ANGUS and Infamous.
If the Philippine bond story had not
become public before election;it would
not have given the Republican man
ayers such a violent shock.
There may be doubts about N1kols
Tesls's electric and other discoveries,
but there are none Of his ability to
keep himsely well advertised.
It is said that "Teddy" would be
willing to go to the Senate,if his party
carries the legislature. OF course he
would; he has never objected to bold
ing any sort Of an Office.
Mr.. Richard Croker may not know
everything, but he has proven that be

quiet; by reminding them OF his know
ledge of their records.
The coal miners at Jobs Hooking
Co., Ohio, who have only haNd " days
work in five months, may be excused
for doubling the existence Of general
prosperity.
The most frantic appeals are being
made to Ohio republicans to ss @o oy
Mckinley, but, of course, noboc " ID o
bit frightened.
Chauucey Depew stopped talkin,g to
Roosevelt long enough to express his
opinion of the Supreme Court decision
declaring the railroad trust illegal
Naturally Caauncey doesn't approve
of that decision, but it will stand just
the same.
The more time Spain gets the more
Il wants. No sooner did the admins
tration agree to extend the time TOR
the occupation of Cuba to January LIST
than the Spanisrds asked to have it e1-
tended to Feb. LIST. The way to oc-
cupy Cuba is to occupy it, and the
sooner it is done the better 1t Will De-

cured:

taken eight bottles of your Pe-ru-na

And l earnestly assure you that it

from the same. I can tell you that

me so many years, apd can now eat

To understand the scientific action
of Pe-ru-na 1t is best to have DIR. Hart
