ACHIEVED BY MKINLEY.
Satisfactory Handling of Railway
Business by the Present Adj
ministration.

Among the important events of the
Mckinley administration is the almost
complete repayment of the government
debt of the subsidized Pacific railroads,
principal and interest. Such a result
was not considered possible until a few
months ago. The people had concluded
that repayment from the roads in fun
was hardly to be hoped for, and con-
gress discussed various concessions to
bring about a settlement. But the main
line, consisting of the Union Pacific and
the Central Pacific, the first of the over
land railways, have either paid or ar
ranged to pay every cent of their obli-
cations to the government. The sum
received from the Union Pacific is $685.
,223, and the adjustment with the
Central Pacific calls for SOS, ,Sl2, us.
Thus the stem road pays in full. The
Kansas Pacific paid the principal of it's
government debt. amounting to $6,303,-
600. Nothing was lost but the interest
on this fragmentary line. In all, the
cash repayments of the Pacific rail-
roads to the national treasury will foot
up 1923, ,653 ,939, or enough to meet esti-
mates for the construction of the Mica
ragua canal.
Thirty years have passed since the
first railroad across the continent was
opened for traffic. In 1868 there was
still nearly a thousand miles of stage
coaching in the overland journey. but
in 1869 the long talked of Pacific rail
road was an accomplished fact. It's in
direct value to the government has
been enormous. Its success multiplied
the number Of interoceanic railways.
New states have arisen through their
facilities and added hundreds of mil
lions to the wealth of the people. That
the money advanced by the government
should be returned to it, with almost
full interest, is a gratifying fact, and
a surprise in view Of the belief two
years ago that the roads would not dis
charge more than half their obliga-
tions. There would have been a large
shrinkage but for TIE firm attitude
and intelligent tfinanciering of the pres
ident and the cabinet. The general
prosperity which came in with McKin.
lev enabled the roads to command the
aid of capital to the extent required by
these transactions. The credit, there
fore, doubly belongs to the present ad-
ministration.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

Hon. Myron II. McCord, Ex. Governor
of New Mexico, in letter to DR.. Hart
man, from Washington, D. c., says:
Gentlemen-At the suggestion of O
friend l was advised to use Pe-ru-na fcs
catarrh, and after using one bottle be-
gan to feel better in every way. 1t
helped me in many respects. / was
troubled with colds, coughs, sore
throat, etc, but as soon as | had taken
your medicine L began to improve and
soon got well. l take pleasure in recom-
mending your great remedy to all who
are afflicted with catarrh.-M. II. Nc
Cord.
Thousands of cases of chronic catarrh
have been cured by Pe-ru-na during the
past winter. In spite of changeable
weather, in spite of the natural sets
backs from catching cold, and contine-
ment to illy-ventilated rooms, the great
catarrh remedy-Pe-ru-na- effect
ed these cures. But now spring is here.
The days are longer, the sun is warmer,
and the blizzard is gone for another
year. This presents much more favor
able opportunity for the permanenl
cure of chronic catarrh, especially old,
stubborn cases. Now is the time to be-
gin treatment. Other things being
equal, one months treatment in the
spring is worth two months treat
ment during the inclement weather OF
winter. Insist upon having Pe-ru-na.
There are no successful substitutes fox
this remedy. Send to Dr. Hartman, Co
lumbus, Ohio, for a free catarrh book.

In two or three trades the wages have
been stationary. There has been an
advance in all the others. an average of
~ per cent, approximately.
This is somewhat surprising, as good
times prevailed in the '7Os until the
panic of '73. But these trades do not
cover the entire field. Among rolling
mill workers and among the cotton
operatives we think a large decline
would be shown, and, possibly, in other
trades, but without regard to these the
showing is fiattering as there has been
an impression abroad that la Dor in the
last 20 years has suffered a great de-
cline. These figures, though they are
limited do not establish that impress

Logically Lame.

Col. Bryan, in his recent address at
Ann Arbor on "Imperialism, said:
"Our forefathers fought for independ-
ance under a banner upon which was in
scribed the motto Millions for defense,
but not one cent for tribute And so those
who to-day not only desire American inde-
pendence, but are willing to encourage the
idea of findependenceand Self-governmenti in
other races, can fight under banner upon
which is inscribed a similar motto: Mil
lions for defense, but not one cent for con-
quest"
This is historically inaccurate asweli
as logically lame. Our forefathers who
fought for independence never heard
the expression "Millions for defense,
but not one cent for tribute" That eX-
preston was first used by Charles
Cotesworth Pinckney during his mis-
sion to France in 1876. L had no rela-
ton to the revolutionary war. AS for
the paraphrase millions for defense,
but not one cent for conquest" it was
repudiated by Americans at the end of
the Mexican war, when they paid Mex
leo $4,000, 600 tor territory already
practically cGLuue red. In that case the
$15,OO0,OO0 was a salve to Mexican pride
just as the $2OOOo,OO is in this case to
spanish.-Indianapolis Journal.

Washington, March s.-The presi-

In Evidently he was waiting for some
body, and as he waited he stood by
the window, looking out. The snow lay
on the window ledge, white and feath-
cry and soft, and, seeing it, the SEN
ator smiled whimsically. Presently he
turned and spoke to a waiter, and a
moment later a saucer full of snow was
brought to the table at which the great
man had taken a seat His face still
wore it's whimsical smile as he stirred
sugar into the snow and poured cream
over it. It's 40 years and more said
he to me, since l ate snow. Snow
cream we used to call it, fixed this way.
Ice cream was something we. didn't
taste twice a year. and we used to

laughed softly to himself. Snow

1t is gratifying to note that congress

blatant heroes of the war, and that it has

three women who justly deserve them:
Clara Barton, Helen NJ. Gould, and the
daughter of the universally popular
general, Joe" Wheeler. The case of
Miss Gould is exceptional in that she
had had thanks voted her by the muni-
cipal assembly of New York and by
both houses of the state legislature.
The bestowal of special gold medals
upon her and Miss Wheeler by order of
congress will be the highest honor that
governments in the habit of award
ing upon anyone. When that ubiqui-
tous, indefatigable little body, Clara
Barton, pockets the congressional reso-
luton of thanks, she becomes the first
lady in the land in possessing the life
right to a seat on the floor of congress
whenever that body is in session.
