Settles Nervous DeDkrUDtcV

Statistics show that ninety-five
per cent. Of all persons engaged in
business in the United States fail
Investigation shows that men who
succeed are men of brains, strong
nerves, great will-power. Ordinary
food and drink cannot supply the
vital force which people with active
brains and bodies require. Bicols
Pills feed the nerves, make the mind
bright, muscles strong make flesh
and blood and new energy, and give
perfect manhood with all that perfect
physical condition means. Bicols
Pills are great tonic for women
they give health and strength to the
special organs and nerve centers.
The TURNER'S OF PHILADELPHIA make

The ClaytOn-Bulver Treaty,

1t is to be hoped that the Clayton Bulwer
treaty. SO far as on its face it interferes
with the exclusive control of the Nicaragua
canal by the United States, may be
promptly abrogated. The treaty has been
more than once treated inapplicable to
present conditions and obsolete by both
governments. 1t is understood that COM
munications have been exchanged between
the governments preliminary to formal
consideration of abrogation of an agree
ment which has already practically ceased
to exist. Immediately there has arisen a
chorus of suggestion to the effect that the
abrCgation of the treaty is a condition pre-
cedent to the further progress by this gov
eminent toward establishing a policy in
respect to the canal. That is far from the
fact. There is nothing in the case at pres
ent to warrant any hesitation on the part
of the United States in the matter of the
definition Of a policy. That is the first
duty of Congress and the executive. In
deed, the President has already defined the
case sufficiently to enable Congress to pro-
coed without further delay at this session
to set up the doctrine that the canal must
be constructed under the control of the
United States. Meanwhile it will be proper
to go ahead with the negotiations for such
modification of the nominally existing
treaty relations with Great Britain as may
be requisite to permit the carrying out of
this policy without friction or Ill feeling.
The two undertakings may proceed Jointly.
Perhaps. to preserve the diplomatic unties,
it will be deemed advisable to intimate
early to the British government that this
country proposes to adopt such a policy
that the abrogation of the treaty becomes
a necessity. 1t should not be difficult to
adjust the affair upon equitable and salts
factory terms. We shall uphold England's
'open door, policy and strengthen Eng
lands hand in Asia. We expect no inter-
ference on her part with our determination
to build and control an American canal

The proclamation issued by the American
evacuation commissioners to the Cubans
breathes the spirit of peace and good order.
1t appeals to the Cubans to be as generous
in their disposition toward the Spaniards
as possible, as indeed the Spaniards have
been to the Americans who have been in
Cuba during the past weeks arranging for
the transfer of authority. OF course the
cases are different. The Americans were
there not only as official guests, but as
prospective rulers. To treat them with
consideration was the first duty of the
hour. The Cubans have never held such
relations to the departing authorities; but
they can perhaps appreciate the reasons
why the Americans, on the eve of the
transfer, should ask them to forbear and
refrain from irritating actions. The best
informed of the Cubans see, of course, that
it is to their interest to remain quiet dur
ing the days of transition. Their attitude
under the coming circumstances will be
evidence in the main of their capacity for
self-control In the same proportion will
be revealed their ability to conduct a sta
BILE government. The fact that the respon-
sibility for peace and order is assumed for
the time by the Americans does not remove
from the Cubans the ultimate responsibility
for maintaining peaceful conditions among
themselves without coercion. In the degree
that this proclamation is observed will
stand revealed the Cuban appreciation of
the new dignities and duties which have
been placed upon them by the war. They
have been striving for many years TO Sc
cure them. They have at last been placed
within reach of them. On the eve of the
departure of the Spanish authority they
are asked in the most solemn terms to re-
frain from improper practices and insolent
speeches toward their former rulers. Their
leaders will do well to counsel them from
one end of the island to the other to heed
the injunction thus laid upon them. The
proclamation is the more forceful because
it contains more than mere plea. Be
meath the words of suggestion are terms
which mean that if the advice of the COM
missioners shall be ignored and the transfer
of authority is accompanied by scenes Of
disorder the American troops now in Cuba
will be quick to enforce the military laws,
aided by such Spanish troops as remain
in the island pending repatriation. The
warning is courteously and effectively
given. 1t ought to result in a minimum of
disorder and outrage.

remain a silent prisoner. His ardent tenn
permanent and his enthusiastic advocacy of
Dreyfus could not well be suppressed by
ordinary prison methods. 1t had been an
nounced. indeed, that he proposed writing
the novel of his life during the year of
his Imprisonment. 1t is naturally to be ex-
pected that this novel would be a rabid as
sault upon the French judicial system, in
view of his own sufferings and those of the
unfortunate captain. The Dreyfusards seem
TO have believed that Zolas agitation of the
case in this way would not be advantage
eous. Hence their recommendation that he
flee from France lola undoubtedly hopes
for such a sweep of reversing opinion in
France that he can confidently appeal for
pardon or for retrial under more equita-
BILE auspices than those surrounding his
conviction. The signs already favor such
reversal. The mere fact that the court of
cessation is taking testimony preliminary
to revision of the Dreyfus case, and that
the military authorities have been prevented
from proceeding with the Picquart court
martial shows that justice is no longer i'm
possible. Zolas offense, of course was
apart from the Dreyfus case in that he was
charged with uttering a libel. He might
have voiced the rights of the condemned
captain never so truthfully and yet have
libelled the military authorities under the
French law. But, aside from this considera-
ton, it was notorious that he was grossly
mistreated in the trial of his case. The tes-
timony which bore strictly upon the issues
involved was excluded and witnesses for the
prosecution were encouraged in maintain
ing silence on the most vital questions. If
ever court was influenced by supposed
public opinion the court which tried lola
was in such condition.
