Admiral Lord Charles Beresford is
booked for lively greeting. when he
reaches New York. AS the representa-
tive of the British associated boards of
trade, it is his purpose to sound Ameri-
can commercial bodies concerning the
development of the China trade He
comes straight from the Orient, packed
with information for the instruction of
all who have the patience to listen. vir-
tually, his mission is to preach the COS
pei of the open door as the only saliva
ton of England, the United States,
Germany and Japan in the east. The
New York chamber of commerce and
other similar bodies have already pro-
nounced in favor of this doctrine, which
amounts only to an agreement that no
tariff restrictions shall be placed on
Chinese trade in favor of any one ma
ton. Aside from this, 1t has no bearing
upon local duties at home or abroad.

BoUH1YES FOR FARMERS.

1t is great larks for free traders
whenever the western farmers begin to
agitate in behalf Of bountIes on exports
of farm products. OF course, it is a
matter Of common knowledge that such
bounties have not been admitted to be
a part of the protection system in this
country, but the free traders say they
should be, and SO the doctrinaires egg
on the grangers. In the east the bounty
project has been very sensibly repudt-
ated by farmers organizations, as cal
culated to discredit the whole proteo-
ton system, and eastern farmers have
mad the wisdom to see and acknowl-
edge that the markets built up for
them in the great manufacturing cities
are their best hold and constitute an
obvious benefit derived by them from
protection. Apparently this is true also
OF the country at large, but agitation
IN FAVOR OF a bounty sporadically re-
appears The most recent instance is
the memorial of the trans Mississippi
congress to the congress of the United
States, which argues that farm nro-
ducts are as much entitled to bounties
as are ships. In order to carry greater
weight, the memorial quotes Charles
ii. Cramp, to the effect that farmers
and ship builders should join forces
and each help the other to get what
is wanted. 1t is Significant, however. that
other ship builders have not shared
Mr. Cramps views with eagerness. In
fact' the only people from whom the
FARMERS get constant and Jealous en-
couragement on the bounty question
are the free traders, and this fact is
enough TO blast the whole scheme. 1t
would not be protection but anti-pro-
tectlon' so far as results are con-
cerned

There is hardly a senator on the re-
publican side, whose services could be
more easily dispensed with than Mat
thew Stanley Quay's. He has contribut-
ed virtually nothing to legislation, he
is no orator, he has been accorded no
leadership outside Of his own state, and
his labors there have been devoted
chiefly to traffic in public offices. Cor
man, the Maryland democrat, has been
active in legislation, and while it may
be stand-off between the good and the
bad that he has accomplished, his poll
teal leadership has never been ques-
toned. The democrats have nobody
who is knee high to him in this respect,
and there is no one to take his place.
On the other hand, Pennsylvania could
scarcely choose man who would fail
to more than fill Quays place, so far
as the constitutional duties of senator
are concerned.

Hon. Myron b. McCord, Ex-Governor
of New Mexico, in a letter to DIR. Hart
man, from Washington, D. c., says:
Gentlemen-At the suggestion of q
friend was advised to use Pe-ru-na for
catarrh, and after using one bottle be-
gan to feel better in every way. It
helped me in many respects. I was
troubled with colds, coughs. sore
throat, ETC., but as soon as had taken
your medicine began to improve and
soon got well. take pleasure in recon-
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 set
backs from catching cold, and confine-
ment to Differentiated rooms. the great
catarrh remedy-Pe-ru-na-hAs 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 permanent
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 Indictment weather Of
winter. Insist upon having Pe-ru-na.
There are no successful substitutes for
this remedy. Send to DR.. Hartmann CO.
lumbus, Ohio, for free catarrh book.

THE MAN WITH THE MAIL.

The man with the mail-God bless him
Comes In all sorts Of weather:
Letters and papers. books and cards.
All in his bag together;
He will come and go in the rain and snow.
On his beat you will ever find him,
Leaving his missives of veal and woe
In the varied homes behind him.
Tender epistles of youthful love.
Uttered in softest breath.
And tear-stained tales Of the passing away
OF the loving and loved in death:
Letters Of friendship from far away,
And greetings from neighbors near:
Some that beguile the hour with a smile.
And some that educe a tear.
Sad. sad news and glad. glad news.
In the sunshine and the snow,
The faithful mailman brings to me,
And yet he does not know:
1t may be a message to lift the soul
To q nobler. truer part.
Or tender woman may read and give
The wall of broken heart.
