CHINA'S FUTURE
As Viewed by Candidate for the
Presidency.

Philadelphia, Oct THE American
prints an article from the pen of Whar-
ton Barker on the possibilities of future
trade relations between this country
and China. In the course of his article
Mr.. Barker writes:
so strict is the Chinaman in all his
commercial dealings that the scrupulous
exactitude with which he keeps his bar
gains IS proverbial throughout the east.
The name of the Chinese merchant is
synonym of honor. And in this lies
the hope of China; the opportunity OF
China to escape the dangers that con-
front her.
THAT hope is the development of
China by Americans and Europeans IN
conjunction with the Chinese, a develop
nent the profits of which will not mere
ly accrue to the foreigner but enrich
and aggrandiZe China. While refusing
to permit development in way that
means dismemberment, she must invite
development in a way that means en-
richment. And the reinS tement OF the
Chinese party is an earnest OF TINS, an
earnest that the foreigner, the Aner1-
can the European of energy and ability
and willing to cast in his lot with China,
grow up with China, will be invited to
China to work in con- junction with
Chinese for the development of China
resources and wealth producing capa-
bilties And here the reputation of the
Chinese merchant for probity viii stand
China in good stead, for, because of 1t,
Americans and Europeans will be at
Cinnamon rather than be repealed.
Capital in China for China's develop
rnent is not wanting. What is wanting
is the energy, the enterprise, the skill
that can successfully direct the build
ing and operating of railroads and local
industrial plants. It is this skill ana
energy that China wants; it IS TINS skill
and energy that she must gain before
her own capital will become available
for her own development, for the in
vestment of that capital awaits the as
s1Irance of turning out remunerattvely
that such skill and energy alone can
give. SO the opportunities for Ameri-
cans and Europeans to enter into part
11ersbin with Chinese for the develop
ment Of China are great. They must
have enterprise and skill; they must
command capital that they may put IN
10 the partnership as an earnest of their
good faith, as an assurance of their
own faith in their own ability. With
Chinese capital and as they build up
China build up their own fortunes"

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quick
~, Painlessly, Without Danger.

People go along for years suffering
with piles Then try this, and that and
the other thing; from carrying a buck
eye to getting treatment from a physi-
clan. They obtain temporary relief,
maybe, but they are never quite cured.
A little strain in lifting, excessive fat
igue, a little constipation or little di-
arrhoea and the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they Danish sleep and appetite. No
position is comfortable There is intense
local pain and that dreadful feeling of
weight in the perineum.
Maybe in the early stages some of
the many salves or sale will afford
temporary relief. If the case is of long
standing there is only one speedy and
sure remedy. 1t is Pyramid Pile Cure.
Even in light cases it is the safest
thing to use. Other applications may
cure and may not. Pyramid Cure is al
ways certain, always reliable and al
ways brings comfort at once Its
prompt use saves months of severe suf-
fering. In extreme cases it will save
surgical operations and their attendant
dangers and discOnfortS.
1t is better than the knife. viii cure
easier, quicker and safer. Thousands
have used it. Thousands have been
cured by it.
The cost is trifing compared with
what it does. The price is so cents
Most anybody would gladly pay ten
dollars to be rid of piles.
Druggists sell Pyamid Pile Cure. If
yours hasn't it he will get it from the

Tt was street car coming over from

He was evidently not used to going
about alone, for he was quite feeble and
carried scrap of paper on which was
written the address to which he wished
to go, which he showed to the cOnduc-
tor and asked to be put off there When
the conductor called for his fare he was
troubled. He slowly and painfully went
through every pocket, but not cent
could he find. His money was gone.
Another veteran sitting near noticed his
dilemma and fishing out a nickle from
his own scanty supply, slipped it into

Major R. c. Egbert, who has had
charge of the burials, today replied to
the criticisms in regard to the way the
men were buried in the camp. He said
the reason no burial service was read
or a volley fired was because it would
disturb the sick men. When the sick
were removed there would be a general

OUT BY JANUARY 1.
Expected That Spanish Troops Will
Have Left Cuba.

New York. Oct. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
If the present plans are carried out it
is expected that the evacuation of Cuba
will have been completed by Deem
Der 81 and the new year will see the
American colors raised all over the is
land.
It is now believed the plans will be
carried out because advices today from
the military commission in Havana in
dictate. that Spain will no longer contend
for delay. It is said the transports
which took the prisoners from Santiago
will promptly return to Cuba to facil-
itate a speedy evacuation. These trans
ports have a capacity of $4,000. [ am
further informed that it is not likely
that more than sc, 900 or rs, 900 soldiers
will return to Spain. The other $4,000
or 60,0 900 will remain, lay down their
arms and become citizens of the island.
This, it is considered, will be in no wise
Objectionable to this government.
Secretary AIger has said that $1,000
or $4,000 United States troops will be
stationed in Cuba at points which will
probably be decided upon within the
next few days. It is the plan of the
administration not to concentrate any
place. The army of occupation will
probably consist of four infantry di-
visions and one cavalry division. The
plan of keeping the Seventh army corps
together will doubtless be abandoned
and on this point General Fitzhugh Lee
has been in conference with Secretary
Alger.
