The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure i'm all its stages, and
tnat IS Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive curek known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a CON
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces uf the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the dis
ease. and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing it's work.

ern hemisphere it is doubtful whether
it would have ever acquired another
foot of territory-the annexation of
Canada being a very remote posi-
bility.
Though reluctant to plunge this
country into war those in power will
not shirk the responsibilities or leave
a stain upon the flag. If it is the
plan of the Omnipotent that the
world must be Christianized who
knows but this will be n means to
that end? 1t is observed that a ma
upon the possession of the Philip
pines as a great aid to them in mis-
sion work. Christianity and a higher
civilization always follow the stars
and stripes. In Hawaii, Porto Ric,.
and Cuba, there are already indica-
lions of improved conditions under
American supervision, although it is
too early to expect great results.
From a commercial view who can
estimate the possibilities and benefits,
particularly to the great west. Our
wisest statesmen believe that the
time is not far distant when the trade
of the orient will whiten the Pacific
Ocean with the sails of merchantmen
ucts that now have to traverse the
continent to reach the Atlantic sea-
board for shipment. Trade with
China, Japan and the Philippines has
grown wonderfully in the past two
years.
This question should be weighed
from h standpoint of humanity,
civilization, commerce and national
honor, and it is to be hoped that it
will not be dragged into the mire of
pOlitics-to the extent of dividing the
parties. However, several Demo-
cratic papers i'm this state are display
ing a great deal of hostility and, of
course, appealing to prejudice, as
usual. They would have working
men believe that this country will
soon be overrun with PHILIPPINES and
Malays to compete with them i'm the
labor market. There is no more
danger of this than there is from the
Alaskan Indians. Besides, restraints
will be provided against such an
invasion.
This nation has unquestionably
assumed grave responsibilities. but
responsibilities are the making of
nations as well as of men, and we
can people r ready and able to
meet every emergency i'm a
that will rebound to the glory of the
flag and the benefit of mankind.

Experiences in Alaska.

w. g.. Norris, representing the
company of Cincinnati, was in town
last week and sold the new banking
institution a safe of the very latest
pattern and Improvement, also vault
door and other fixtures. Mr.. Norris
sold several smaller safes to business
houses. Last winter Mr.. Norris
spent in Alaska and his account of
experiences in that section was very
interesting. He had taken passage
with some two hundred other
passengers on a boat going to ST.
Michaels, the steamship company
telling them that another boat
would be at the mouth of the Yucon
on which they would travel up the
river, but when the steamer reached
ST. Michaels they learned that
the boat ON which the journey was
to be continued was on board in
"knocked-down" shape and that
they would be detained while itcould
be put together. All passengers helped
i'm the work, and within three weeks
they had embarked and started for
Dawson. When about half way up
the river one bright afternoon they
encountered a little slush ice and
within two hours the ice flow wasso
heavy that they were compelled to
turn back TO St. Michaels. Most OF
the passengers remained all winters at
the mouth of the river. but Mr.. Nor
ris and five others started overland
on dog sleighs and reached Dawson
i'm safety. He says that OF the 200
passengers who went north at this
time nearly all have returned and he
has learned of but N man who
made a profit on his trip, while the
average amount spent was easily
81 800, or $4,000 in all. Mr.. Norris
visited nearly all the camps on both
the American and Canadian sides, re-
turning this spring.

Our New Possessions.

There is a great variety of opinions

politicians there are some prominent
Republicans who are opposed to eX

While some Democratic newspa-

Spain under President Cleveland,
terms the deal as a 'ravishment'
upon Spain. Still there are Others
who think that we should not have
paid Spain one cent, but on the other
hand demanded a sum in addition to
the islands sufficient to have covered
the expense of the war.
We believe that when all the facts
become familiar to the people that
they will approve OF the action of
our peace commissioners in allowing
Spain a sun that will. in n measure,
reimburse her for expenditures for
local improvements on the islands.
1t will stand as the act eff a Chris

of the question, instead OF a merci-

ELEPHANTS INTELLIGENCE.

The more I hear about elephants the lower do I feel inclined to rate their vaunt- ed intelligence, says an English writer A few weks ago the populace of a small town near Madras were frightened out of their wits and into their houses by a runaway elephant, which broke from his mahout's s control and stampeded, in state of insane alarm, caused by the pattering of rain drops on his riders umbrella; if nobody was killed, it was no fault of the elephant It is extraordinary how little frightens the animals.
 An Indian civilian of my acquaintance tells a story which I always understood to be against himself but which, by the light of later knowledge, seems to be against the elephant. When "out in the district" soon after his arrival in Burma, he grew tired of riding the beast, which also carried his servants and impediments, so bought a pony in one of the villages to which duty took him. Mindful of equine weaknesses, he was careful to ascertain that the pony was not afraid of elephants, but he never thought of inquiring whether the elephant was afraid of ponies. Early next morning he dispatched his baggage and servants per elephant, with orders to halt for lunch at a hamlet ten miles distant, and, having finished his work followed on the pony. When a mile or so from the halting place he saw the elephant hunching along the road, and trotted on to hurry up the ma hout As he approached, the man, a phleg
 matic Burman, began to shout and gesticu- late wildly; the civilian and his Bengali servants knew no Burmese, and the Bur man knew no tongue but his own, but the civilian guessed that something was amiss, and, pressing his pony harder to ascertain what was amazed to see the elephant start off at speed. Three times did the mahout succeed in stopping him after a race of a mile or two. and three times did that pug zled and thirsty civilian trot up and frighten the brute off again. Finally, the mahout who seems to have been the most intelligent of the three, turned his charge | off the road onto swampy ground, and thus shaking off pursuit, plowed his way back to the appointed haiting place, where an interpreter was found to explain matters.

It only regrets that the rural schools. the plain common schools, the chil- dren of which have such hard life strug- gle before them, are not in an equally sat- isfactory condition. MT. Turner says by implication at least that the rural schools of the state are advancing, but it is very difficult to see how system that does noS really exist can be said to either aoydnce or to recede. If Superintendent Turner will name one-just one-school outsfue of an incorporated town or special school dis trict that can be said to be in any proper full or legitimate sense a free public school, running for four to six months in the year, The Age-Herald will, after due in- vestigation, at once admit that the super intendent of education has at least some foundation for his formal but rather grand Eloquent plea
