mer Mexican consul in this city, is in re-
cept of letter from Havana. The writer

ing banquet in honor OF himself and his
party, Mr.. Mckinley said among other
things:
There is cause for congratulation that
with the grave problem before us grow
ing out of the war with Spain we are
free from any divisions at home. Our
financial and revenue policies cannot be
changed for at least four years, and
whatever legislation may be had affecting
them during that period will be to i'm

I've have entered upon new paths. We
are t-eading in an unexplored field which
will test our wisdom and craftsmanship
Fhe chief consideration is one of duty;
our actions must be controlled by it No
settlement is admissible which will not
preserve our honor and promote the best
interests Of all concerned.
II, following the clear precepts of duty,
territory falls to US, and the welfare Of
an alien people requires our guidance and
protection, who will shrink from the re-
sponsibiity, grave though it may be?

A wreck at sea Is not the only place
where a life line is of importance
There is life line for the sick, as well as
for the drowning man. 1t is DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It is not a
cure call, but it is scientific medicine that
goes to the fountain head of a number of
serious and fatal diseases. When a man
gets seriously sick, he can generally be
cured by the right course of treatment
The treatment that cures many obstinate
chronic diseases consists of pure air, good
food, rational exercise, and the use of
remedy that will strengthen the weak
stomach, correct the impaired digestion,
invigorate the liver and promote the as
similation of the live-giving elements of
the food. The Golden Medical Discov-
cry" accomplishes all these things.

FOR THE BETTER HELF.

An Austrian paper claims that really
the women of that country have more
than the boasted freedom and privilege OF
their American sisters, and quotes to
prove il that in Austria no woman need
follow her husband TO any locality where
her health or happiness may be en-
dangered, and also that she can refuse to
he forever moving about, unless she be
the wife OF a soldier. American women
viii probably not recognize lust how this
proves that they have fewer privileges
than the Austrians.
