E. II. Brodlique in Times-Herald
1t has been stated that the president
himself favors a colonial form of gov
ernment for the territory acquired from
Spain as a result of the war. Also
that the Canadian system is the one
most likely to be copied
Long ago Gladstone advocated the
absolute right of local self-government
in the colonies. This rule has been
generously applied TO Canada, with the
result that since the federation of the
colonies in 1867, very little If any fric-
tion has existed between the dominion
and Downing street. The present sys-
TEN is comfortable, not too expensive,
and combines with feeling of local in
depdence the strong protection Of Great
Britain. The whole of the provinces,
Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, Manitoba and British CO.
lumbia, are confederate and consol,.
dated under the legislative and admin
istrative control of the parliamentary
government at Ottawa, composed Of a
house of commons. a senate, a gover-
nor general. and STYLED the "parlia-
ment of Canada" The British North
American act carried into effect the
federation of the provinces into one do
mlnion, with a constitution similar in
principle to that of the United King
dom. 1t provided that "the executive
government of and over Canada Is
vested In the queen" 10 be carrled-on in
her name by the governor general,
with the aid and advice of council

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
il was never intended for a medicine,
and people who use II as such will
some day regret It.
We refer 10 the common use of soda
TO relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands of people prac-
tice almost daily. and one which is
fraupht with danger; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irrit-
ant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
il accumulated in the intestines, caus-
ing death by Inflammation or periton-
tits.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent prepara-
ton sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20 grain lozenges,
very pleasant to taste and contain the
natural acids. peptones and digestive
elements essential TO good digestion,
they digest the food perfectly and
promptly before it has time to ferment,
sour and poison the blood and nervous
system.
DIR. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases OF stomach arrangements and
| finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach but by promptly digest
| ing the food they create a healthy APP
| petite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They
are not a cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness
and will be found reliable in any sto-
mach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
All druggists sell Stuarts Dyspepsia
| Tablets at 5Cc. per package

A HISTORICAL SLAP.
A Fued of Long Standing Between
SchIey and Sampson.

The New York Journal publishes the
the following:
1t has come to be pretty well under
stood that there is an old fued between
Commodore Schley and Admiral Samp-
.son, the two naval officers now making
history for themselves and for the
country.
When Schley was an ensign he was
on board ship with Sampson, then a
lieutenant, difficulty arose between
them, and ever since a grudge has
ranked in the breast of Sampson. The
difficulty, years and years ago, origin
ated in this way.
One day Sampson missed some ba-
nanas which he had hung mp in the
ship to ripen. He was very angry over
the loss of the fruit. and tried to find
the thief, Finally he came to the con-
cluSion that certain marine was the
culprit and sent for him. The marine
replied Indignantly that he had not
seen the bananas, and that he was no
thief.
This Infatuated Sampson, who said:
II will punish you for lying as well
stealing"
Sampson sent for the druggist and
gave the poor marine an immense dose
of ipicac.
Schley was ashore at the time, but
when he returned he saw the marine
suffering.
Schley asked Sampson who had adj
ministored the powerful drug which
had caused the suffering of the sailor
Sampson told the whole incident.
The matter so incensed Schley that he
exclaimed:
mo gentleman would treat a poor
marine that way" and following the
exclamation, slapped Sampson in the
face
Then a scene followed. Sampson
demanded satisfaction. Schley re-
minded him thai it was against the

FIRST OCCUPATION ORDERS.
Landing of Troops Will BE Made Not Be.
fore November a.

Washington, November 3.-Secretary
Alger today issued the first order looking
to the military occupation of Cuba by the
United States troops.
The order was issued only after very
careful consideration of the reports of the
military officers now in Cuba and of the
Hecker board and other expert commits
sions which have been in the field.
The order looks to the occupation of
two points to begin with, namely,
Nueyitas and Puerto Principe, but the
occupation will be extended as rapidly
as the Spanish evacuation proceeds. q
The order directs the movement to be-
gin at once, but according to the calcula-
tions of this department. it will be scarce
ly feasible to make the first landing be-
fore November 90.
Headquarters of the new corps which
has been created for the purpose OF begin

AMERICAN SIDE OF CASE.

Paris, November 3.-Last Monday the
United States and Spanish Peace Com
missioners left the definite limitations OF

Both commissions realize that the area
Is ample enough for some manoeuyering,
though on the American side. the
tendency is to evolution much more COM
pact than those of the Spaniards. Both
would undoubtedly be gratitied to reach
a mutual conclusion without compulsion.
At Mondays joint session the American
commissioners laid down proposition in
two parts.
First, that the United States should
take over the Philippines entire; second
that in so doing they should reimburse
to Spain the sum of her permanent and
pacific expenditures in the Philippines.
The logic of the situation compelled the
Americans to make the first move.
