When a man breaks down with that
dread disease, consumption, and recognizes
his condition, he starts out to fish for
health. He tries this thing and that thing.
He consults this doctor and that doctor.
He INDUCES in all kinds of absurd athletic
exercises. He tries first one climate and
then another. He tries the rest cure and
the work cure. He grows steadily worse.
That is the story of most consumptives
Finally, when the consumptive dies, the
doctor shrugs his shoulders and pronounces
consumption incurable. A thirty years
test of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery has demonstrated that it cures o8
per cent of all cases of consumption, if
taken in the earlier stages of the disease
before the lungs are too far wasted In
consumptive there is a weaker spot than
even the lungs. That spot is the stomach
A consumptiVe never really begins to die
until his stomach gives out The Golden
Medical Discovery" not only braces up
the stomach, but acts directly on the
lungs, healing them and driving out all
impurities. Honest medicine dealers will
not urge you to take an inferior substitute
II had very bad cough, also night-sweats,
and was almost in my grave with consumption, y
writes Mrs. Clara A. Mcintyre BOX I7I Ash
land, Middlesex Co., Mass. A friend of mine
who had died with consumption came to me in
dream and told me to take DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, and, thank the Lord, did
so. By the time I had taken half of the first
bottle felt much better I kept on until had
taken three bottles. That was all l needed. I
got well and strong again"
Whenever constipation is one of the COM
plicating causes of disease. the most perfect
remedy is DR.. Pierces Pleasant Pellets,
which are always effective, yet absolutely
mild and harmless There never was any
remedy invented which can take their
place. They never grippe.

a Celebrated Damage Suit.

Tomorrow Mr.. Joseph Choate VIII go to
Albany to argue before the New York state
court of appeals the case of Mr.. Laidlaw
against Russell Sage. for damages received
in the explosion of bomb thrown by Nor
cross in Mr.. Sage's office over seven years
ago. This will be the seventh time that Mr.
Choate has pleaded for justice for this
man. The case is Interesting, not only be-
cause of the length of time 1t has dragged
through the courts. but because of the dra-
matte circumstances which gave 1t birth
One morning man walked into the office
of Mr.. Sage in New York city with q hand
satchel in his grasp. and. approaching the
multi millionaire. demanded q large sum of
money. His demand was of course refused.
II was repeated. with the threat added that
the stranger would blow himself and the
millionaire into fragments IL his request

most seriously hurt. He had been standing
near Mr. Sage when the stranger entered,
and, he claims, when the demand for money
was made Mr.. Sage grasped his shoulders
and thrust him between his own person
and that of Norcross, the man with the
loaoed satchel. He ayers that never before
had Mr.. Sage shown such familiarity with
him to warrant him in taking hold of his
shoulders, and he demands damages for
having been used as buffer. 1t is believed
that had not Laidlaw stood or been held be-
tween Sage and Norcross the former would
have been very seriously hurt, perhaps
killed. AS it was he escaped with a slight
shock. Sage has always resisted the suit,
fighting Laidlaw bitterly in court The lat

by the force of the explosion, and these
wounds have never fully healed. Jury

aside. The case is the more interesting be-

peace between Spain and the United States
The germ Of a new and ambitious foreign
policy will be inclosed in 1t. and the coun-
try Will be exceedingly interested in every
thing that may he advanced for and against
The Instrument and the possibilities under ii.
The attitude of the friends Of the new
policy is already very well understood.
That could not be concealed. The United
States in taking the initiative at Paris pro
claimed to the world the dawn of a new
day in this country Those who favor rat
ifCation. therefore, will merely amplify
views that are already public property, and
there appears to be no good reason why
they should not be willing TO do so with
the doors of the Senate wide open.
But the opponents of the new policy are
not clearly on record. Some of them

4 order is through rigid though just disci-
pine. Military rule must prevail for some
time, until at least a form of civil govern
mcnt can be devised and applied, and the
presence of several regiments in the island
IS imperatively necessary to sustain that
form of dominion.
The case is particularly suggestive of
continued military government as regards
the Philippines. There occurs not only the
condition of changing sovereignty which is
found in Porto Rico, but also a state of
revolution, while geographical conditions
complicate the case. 1t matters little for
The present that the object of that revolu-
lion has disappeared. The United States
succeeds. for the time being, to SPANS
problems That it will solve them easily
and 10 the satisfaction of the natives is
easy to believe but meanwhile an army will
be necessary. The scattered islands will
require careful and thorough policing.
Cuba will. of course, demand close mill
tary attention for some months. The evacu-
alton by Spain will be followed by the &C.
cupation by the United States as tenant
in trust. Again. military government will
be the only measure possible, doubtless con-
;inuing through the entire period of Ameri-

All these new necessities will mean that
not only will the entire war strength of the
regular army of g.. 900 men be needed, but
that some portion of the volunteers will
also be required. 1t Is to be hoped that be-
fore the time comes to disband all the vol
unteers Congress will have concluded the
army reorganization which is imperative in
view of the governments added responsible
tiles. 1t will not do to withdraw all of the
soldiery from the mainland, where problems
requiring military attention are constantly
arising The only question virtually
manning now to be answered is: How many
thousand men should constitute the regu-
lar army of the future? Experience may be
required to furnish the data for a perma-
nent answer Meanwhile the people should

The Presidents Leadership.

From first to last in all this business with
Spain the President has been attacked by a
certain class of peopie-not large class
on the score that he seemed TO be too solicit
t0us about public sentiment. He has been
accused Of having no policy of his own: Of
waiting for direction; of holding himself In
readiness to go willingly with the tide and
to take il at its flood. This has been de-
n"unccd unworthy of man in his sta
tiou. A President should at all times blaze
the way. He should forra and direct public
sentiment. instead of noting and obeying it
when formed by the people themselves
This note was first sounded when the sit
uatiou about Cuba became acute. What did
II matter what Congress thought? What
right had Congress to ask a hearing at
such time? Suppose the people were be-
hind Congress. What did the people know
about the matter? The President had all
the information necessary to the forming of
a Judgment and he should take his stand
and defy Congress. The American cor
respondent of a London newspaper cabled
that he. the correspondent, had lost all
patience with Congress.
When, after SPANS defeat in the field
truce was declared and terms of peace
came up for discussion, there was the de-
mand from this same source that the Pres

Let him take his standard OF course his
critics wanted it TO be favorable to Spain
and then force the people to line UP with
him.
The record is now made up, and the Pres
Ident may safely challenge his critics to
point To single mistake he has made He

lead him. They knew what they wanted

The furious and feverish and noisy oppo-
sition of a few people In Massachusetts to
pines and their inability to grow with the
nation, to enlarge their horizons with
events. and their settled pessimism about

The People a Unit for the Canal.

The people are almost a unit in favor of
this project to unite the two oceans. They
want the government to build the canal and
control 1t. Under this condition of public
sentiment, 1t will be detrimental to the
political future of the party responsible for
congressional legislation to disregard the
popular will.
Complications and difficulties, woven by
selfish private and corporate interests,
should be brushed aside. and the Nicaragua
canal should be pushed to completion as
rapidly the physical and international
conditions to be overcome will permit.
