Your committee fails to find any au-
thority in the status authorizing the

The expense Of the National Guards
on the trip to New York and the trip
to Washington mentioned, in Gov.
CIRCUITS account, were about 81 ,322,-
SO in excess of the amount paid from
the state treasury. This amount was,
atthe time, paid in part by popular
subscription and in part by the pri-
Yates of the Guard who attended.
House bill No 345, included at this
session, to appropriate $4,322.69, was
designed to the promoters TO compel
the state to reimburse such parties.
The expense of some of the other
governors is as follows:
Hon. w. P. Dillingham;, governor

There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease. and prescribed local
remedies and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced
it incurabIe. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be q constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treat

The important question now is
how much longer Spain can hold
out in her hopeless struggle "a
gainst the United States. With
the recent overwhelming defeats,
with a depleted treasury, with a
dishearteneda and discontinued peo-
Pile clamoring for a change it
would seem that the hopeless
st. uggle would soon be brought
to a closely the Spanish but we
cannot tell. The better counsel
of many of the political leaders
and friendly nations would urge
such action but Spain is loath to
give up her colonies which she
has held so long and which have
| furnished such rich revenues for
her people. But the deeds OF
misrule, cruelty and dishonor are
returning to her and she mus
succumb to the inevitable. 1t i:

can wonder why the people were
so enthused. The glad ringing
of old Independence bell came as
but a faint echo to the boom of
the mighty guns which had won
Us such recent victories in the
cause of liberty. Joyous shouts
went up from those who rejoice
at the success of our army and
navy and they shout praises to the
gallant men who have led them
on to victory. But with it eli
comes the sad strain of grief
from the bereaved, those who
have given their loved ones for
their country. In our rejoicing
let us not forget these.
