EVERY WOMAN TO SAVE
THE DRUNKARD.
A Trial Package of This Marvellous
Home Remedy Mailed Free to
All Who Write for IL.
Can he Given I'm Tea, Coffee, or Food,
Thus Absolutely and Secretly Cur
ing the Patient in n Short
Time without HIS
knowledge.

| There is cure for drunkenness that has
| shed a radiance into thousands Of hith-
| erto desolate firesides. IL does its work
| so silently and surely that while the de-
| voted wife. sister. or daughter looks on.
the drunkard is reclaimed even against
his will and without his knowledge or CO.
| operation. The discoverer Of this grand

OF the remedy free to all who will write
for It, Enough Of the remedy is mailed

or food, and that 1t will cure the dreaded
habit quietly and permanently.
Miss May Muse, OF Liberty. Kan, used
this wonderful remedy and cured a near
and dear relative, and she writes a most
earnest appeal to all other women to thus
spread the work Of saving drunkards.
Mrs. May Branum. Owens, La. says the
remedy succeeded In completely curing
her husband. and he thought 1t was by
his own free will, never suspecting the
food.
Mrs. B. l. Langdon. of Wheatland, Cal.
says she will never hesitate to recon-
mend IL, as It cured her husband, who
was a hard drinker.
Hundreds of others are reported, even
the worst cases, where the habit seems TO

spark of self-respect.
Tears and prayers are OF no use. Plead

A Sham.

When Democrats want to be
boosted into office, silver and CO.
operation is the crying issue but
when they imagine they don't
need a boost from the outside
the whole official hog for the
democracy is the crying issue,
silver is lost sight of, and their al
lies, as they term them, are push
ed aside. Silver republicans and
populists left their parties for
principle, but during eight years
of gold standard democratic adj
ministration, those who are not
democrats never thought of doing
such a thing. Cooperation with
the democracy in the interest Of
silver is a sham and a delusion
The democrats are great on CO.
operation when it gives them the
big end of the deal, and when
they could get nothing without
cooperation Paris Post.

The Candidate.

When the sap begins to rise
and the geese begin to mate, we
hear the gentle carol of the fes-
five candidate. Oh he's jolly
fellow and full of vain conceit and
sees a bosom friend in every man
he meets. He asks about your
family, horses and your hogs, and
shows a friendly interest in the
children and the dogs. o, he's a
iovial gentleman, as gamesome as
a lamb, as blithsome as a meadow
lark and happy as a clam. His
prospects are the brightest, his
Chances they are sure, he spends
his money freely and he helps
the needy poor. He goes to
church on Sunday and his pious
traits appear, but when it is neces-
sarv he will set up the lager beer
O. he's a buoyant sanguine duck,
the iocund candidate, he starts
ont in the morning and he stays
until its late, his patient wife I'M
locks the poor and with a look I,

lie your legs been pulled again"

There are Spaniards in Paris
who insist that should the United
States take the Philippines with
out a large money consideration.
SPANS commission should return
and the action, bidding its soldiers
In Cuba and elsewhere again TO
take up arms, achieve thus a glo-
rlous martyrdum to national honor.
FIGHT 1T OUT.
In these contending currents,
the Spanish commissioners are
awaiting the American declara-
ton on Monday and they declare
they cannot sign treaty of peace
involving the loss Of the Phil
llpines to Spain. 1t is appreciated
oy oPanlards and Americans alike
that should no treaty result here
hostilities will be continued and
both sides clearly understand that
in such event the American feet
would Immediately possess the
PHILIPPINES beyond question and
without money consideration to
Spain. The Canaries would then
be an object Of interest to the
United States, and possibly other
Spanish possessions.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1898-10-29
Spain will Fight Rather Than
Yield the Philippines.
UNITED STATES WANTS Them ALL.
Should the DOns Refuse to Comply With
Our Demands War viii be
Resumed.

While the Spanish and Ameri-
can peace commissioners now
stand upon the threshold of the
PHILIPPINE question, it seems prob
able in the light of this hour, that
the United States will take over
the entire archipelago.
This view is the focus point of
the best unofficial opinion of the
trend of events. During the four
days just passed those in touch
with, though possibly not in the
confidence of the commissioners,
have felt the concentration of ten
denotes toward the standpoint in
dicated as likely to be occupied
by the United States commission
erS at Mondays session of the two
commissions.
In 1897 Spain issued by royal
decree bonds in the sum of $780,
100000, to which were pledged
the revenues of the PHILIPPINES,
and to which the Spanish guar
antee was added. From these
S4o,ooo,ooo of obligations Spain
realized $36,ooo,ooo in cash.
These forty millions represent the
PHILIPPINE debt, which is entirely
outside of the $4,000, 600 in the
8o-called PHILIPPINE and Spanish
debt. The conditions also differ,
the PHILIPPINE debt having been
created by royal decree because
the archipelago was not a parlia-
mentary colony, while the So
called Cuban debt was created by
law. The difference raises the
question Of non-responsibility of
the PHILIPPINES when removed
from the sovereignty under which
ITS resources were pledged.
DEBT OF ISLANDS.
Should the United States alb
sorb the Philippines, none but Off
Gals yet know whether theywould
assume part or all of this debt.
or more than the PHILIPPINES debt.
The Americans have declined to
assume any of the Cuban debt
because Cuba is not theirs; but in
deposing Spain in the PHILIPPINES
the Americans acquire the terri
tory and it is believed there viii
be some financial assumption by
the United States.
