Trains, Worry, Disease and Death.

Late trains are a source of annoyance
to everybody The British Medical
Journal dwells upon the very serious
result produced by them upon the
health of travellers The rush to the
station to catch the train which may
perchance be punctual; the weary walt
on drafty platforms or in stuify wait
ing rooms; the dilatory journey all
these, we are told, add seriously to the
labor of the day even In the best of
times, but when the weather Is cold
and damp they are still more injurious
and in that they are largely responsible
for those "colds," as they are called,
those conditions of depressed vitality
which are the starting points of most
Of the acute diseases from which men
suffer and from which the elderly and
the feeble die.

Here is regulation once again. SEN
ate bill 264 requires all persons main
tanning watering troughs on public
highway to empty them once each day
or go to jail for failure to do so. OF
course no humane man will give his
horses or cattle stagnant water to
drink. But it is claimed that infectious
diseases are communicated through the
agency Of watering troughs on public
roads, which are much frequented for
stock watering purposes, and that the
failure to empty the troughs daily,
tends to greater spread of dreaded dis
eases among domestic animals. There
may be in that sufficient excuse for
the bill. 1t Is matter for veterinary
surgeons and sanitarians to pass upon.
But while we are about it, why not
require the trough to be secured out
dailyf To empty it merely and not
remove the matter that always attaches
to the sides and bottom of such ex-
posed troughs will amount to very lit
tie in the way of preventing contagious
animal diseases from spreading. #
merely enptying is sufficient, then
troughs through which running water
flows constantly should be exempt from
the operation Of the proposed law

A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause Of Rheumatism, there
would be no such thing as lini-
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. The fact is,
Rheumatism is disordered state
of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires o real
blood remedy something more than
mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A few years ago was taken with in
Aammatory Rheumatism, which though
mild at first, became gradually SO in
tense that was for weeks unable to
walk. tried several prominent physi-
clans and took their treatment faith
fully, but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
entire body, and from November to
March / suffered agony. l tried many
patent medicines, but none relieved me.
Upon the advice of friend decided to
try s. S. s. Before allowing me to take
it, however, my guardian, who was a
chemist, analysed the remedy, and pro-
nounced it free of potash or mercury

There can be no question about the
delay in ratifying the peace treaty
|complicating the situation in the Phil
ippines. As it is, we are being humili-
ated and our men put to their mettle
by insults and repression in the ISL
ands. 1t is no wonder that they clamor
to be sent home. The men who are
holding up the treaty in the Senate are
assuming a fearful responsibility.
Should disaster come to our troops
through this means, there will be a
fearful accounting made with the mall
contents. The treaty should be ratified
at once-though that seems improbable
and the settlement with the Aguin-
aldo faction be made afterward AS
long as we fail to approve the treaty,
the F'ilipinos are emboldened to hold
out against our rightful assumption of
authority. The new Senator from New
York, Chauncey NJ. Depew, we'll ex-
pressed the truth when he recently
said: SO long as the treaty is under
discussion or in doubt, Spain is neces-
sarily a silent participant in the de-
bate and its results. Let the treaty be
ratified. Nations, no more than indi-
viduals, can escape obligations which
come to them unsought. We must be-
gin to solve our problems, not from
the battle of Lexington, but from Dew
ey's victory at Manila"

1t will be well, if the story turns out
to be true, that the Samoan tripartite
agreement is to be abrogated, and the
American, British and German Govern
ments are to exercise Independent pro-
tectorates over three Of the greater ISL
ands of the Samoan group. This will
give us sole control of the island in
which our concession harbor of Page
Page is situated. It will do away with
conflicts of authority, and will leave
the three Governments free to deal
with the natives under each jurisdic-
ton, as to each seems best. There never
was more than a patchwork of harmony
in the tripartite control at best Ger

sincere, they should also be consistent.
They declare the plant to be inimicaI
to free labor. But at the same time
they do not offer to close down the
plant entirely, but to limit sale of its
product to- those who improve country
roads. but to forbid the sale of the
produce of the plant to towns and cities.
Now II it is wrong in principle to OPP
crate the plant to promote street build
ing, it is equally wrong to operate the
plant for road building.
This is obvious and unanswerable. IT
the plant is an evil thing. then it should
be abolished altogether and all the cost
ly machinery the State has erected
there should be tumbled into the Amer
lean River or sold for scrap iron. in
which case increase the tax to raise
money to support idle prisoners, for
every idle man whoI has not means with
which to support himself is supported
by the man who labors whether with
head or hands.
Assemblyman Knights position in
this matter is strong; it is invincible.
He moved to amend the bill Of limita-
tion so as to admit streets, alleys and
lanes of cities and towns, as well as
country roads to the benefits of the
State plant. 1t is the logical, consistent
and only sound position to take. 1t is
in defense, support and encouragement
Of free labor; whereas the bill as or
iginally proposed is directly opposed to
the best interests of labor. and, besides,
discriminates unjustly against the peo-
pie Of municipalities.
In other words, it says to the world,
rural residents in California may have
road metal at cost Of production and
10 per cent added for support of the
prisoners who get it out But as a
sop to private crushers of rock cities
and towns in California shall be given
over to their tender mercies, exactions
and combinations.
