In all Stages

OF Nasal Catarrh there should be cleanli-
ness. AS experience proves Ely's Cream
Balm is cleanser, soother and healer of
the diseased membrane. 1t is not drying
nor Irritating, and does not produce
sneezing. To test it trial size is mailed
for 10 cents or the large for so cents by
ELY Brothers, 56 Warren Street, New
York. Druggists keep it. Upon being
placed into the nostrils it spreads over
the membrane and relief is immediate.
1t is an agreeable cure. 21w

Drink Grain-O

after you have concluded that you ought
not to drink coffee. 1t is not a medicine
but doctors order it, because it is health
full, invigorating and appetizing. 1t is
made from pure grains and has that rich
seal brown color and tastes like the finest
grades of coffee and costs about as much.
Children thrive on it because it is gen.
uine food drink containing nothing but
nourishment. Is and Csc. at grocers.

Collecting Taxes,

City Tax Collector George Betchner is

llnquents, and the sum uncollected this
year will be smaller than for years. OF
course, shortly. tax warrants win be ia.
sued to Constables aud an enforced col
ection OF back taxes will be made.

Does Coffee Agree with You ?

IF not drink Grain-O-made from pure
grains. A lady writes: "The first time I
made Grain.o I did not like it but after
using it for one week, nothing would in.
duce me to go back to Coffee" It nour-
ishes and feeds the system. The child
rem can drink it freely with great benefit.
1t Is the strengthening substance of pure
grains. Get package to-day from your

lT Is reported from Topeka that the
Populist senate will withhold con
firmatiOn of all Gov. Stanley's APP
poiutments In case the Supreme Court
decides that the special session WAS
Illegal. Now what possible object do
they hope to accomplish by such n

do they expect TO reverse it after it
has been rendered by failing to do
their own plain duty?

rIGHrINGINrHE PHILIPPINES.

Two weeks ago the REGISTER began
an editorial with the words There
will be fighting IN the Philippines"
The prophecy was fulfilled last sun
day when the insurgents attacked
the American lines about Manila and
were only repulsed after heavy fight
ing and severe loss. The Twentieth
Kansas was engaged and acquitted
itself with credit, as we all knew it
would, and the report of its share OF
the casualties issawaited with fever
ish interest.
The fact that the conditions exist
ing in the Philippines have been such
as TO make it reasonably clear tor
several weeks past that there must be
fighting before the situation was
cleared up, makes the regret no less
keen that the conflict has come. The
life of one private soldier in the
Twentieth Kansas Is worth more to
the world than the lives of a whole
island full OF the naked aud halt
savage followers OF Aguinaldo. And
the pity Ia all the greater because
that the Americans are there TO
bring peace aud not a sword, TO break
chains, not to riVet them, 10 liberate,
not to Cypress, The sulleu, silent
people" cannot understand this.
They think the Americans have TAX
en- one yoke from their neoks only TO
lay another upon them. The only
way to teach them differently Ia the
old hard way, by 1.-The savage wars OF
Peace"
The latest dispatches state that
the American troops are victorious
everywhere and that quiet has been
restored.

The present attitude of the demo-

their judicious friends. They delude
themselves with the false idea that,
in antagonizing the treaty Of Paris,
they are making "A wise and noble
protest against expansion. They har-
Dor the pernicious fallacy that the de
feat of that treaty will sound the

the fathers and covering their party
with renown.
How rational men can hug a blum.
der 40 preposterous and so transpar-
ent is beyond the reach of our
mag ination. As we see the matter,
the democrats cannot possibly defeat
expansion by setting aside the treaty
temporarily or foi all time to come.
They can precipitate thousand COM
plicstions, perhsps-complications
with the PHILIPPINES and, ex hesitate,
with the Germans. They can set in
motion series of calamities which
Will involve us in a costly and pro.
tracted war. But the one way to at
tack expansion is to get it into con-
gress by ratifying the treaty, and 80
taking the matter out of the presi-
dents hands. AS things are the
president has absolute power. SO
long as the treaty of peace continues
in allegiance, we are constructively at
war. Congress declared war. and un-
Til congress ends it by ratifyipg u
treaty of peace, the executive remains
in unlimited control.
1t seems to US that the democrats
are pursuing most shorIsig hted and
perilous policy in this regard. Put
ting the question on the narrowest
and lowest ground, they are injuring
themselves in public estimation and
impairing the party's prospects for
1900. II this delay should produce
the results to he expected, in an equa-
ton made up of such factors AS
Aguinaldo and the Philippines, the
democrats will be held responsible
before the tribunal of enlightened
public sentiment. Not only that, hut
the final consequence would be the
permanent annexation of the islands,
no matter at what cost, and the dem.
ocratic party would then he in the
ridiculous predcament of having
contrived a consumation 1t mad set
out to prevent.
We cannot rid ourselves of the Phil
ipines-or, for that matter, of war
either-by holding the treaty of Paris
in suspense. If the American people,
acting ia the light of their conscience
and their judgment, would withdraw
from the Asiatic problem, che can
| do so only by first having the treat Y
ratified and then asserting that de-
cision through the medium of their
representatives. in congress. The
senate democrats therefore, can ac.
qure nothing more than the country's
condemnation and their own confusion
by obstructing this solution Of the
difficulty. If public sentiment APP
proves the rejection of the Philippines,
the democrats will earn gratitude
aud honor by giving public sentiment
the opportunity to declare itself II,
on the other hand, the people are in
favor of territorial and commercial eX-
pansion, those democrats can only
make themselves obnoxious by stand
ing in the peoples way.
General Grant once said, in his
grim, saturnine fashion, that the dem
ocratic party could always he trusted
to do the wrong thing at the critical
moment. He seems in Il fair way OF
triumphant vindicatiOn now.
