The Philippines Issue.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. l4-Presi-
dent Mckinley has the first draft of
his message relating to the Philip
pines and read it to members of his
cabinet today.
The future of the Philippines is
trested in II way TO show that it is
IA question for the Legislative,
rather than executive, branch of
the government. In a general
way, however, the president sug-
gests the ACCESSIBILITY of the passage
by the two houses of II joint reso-
luton declaring it to he the pur;
pose of the United States to sub
due the insurrection and then to
give the Philippines good govern
ment and the largest measure of
self-government of which they may
appear worthy. Besides this the
president reviews the whole Philip
pine episode from Dewey's victory
to the present day on much the
same lines as reported by the Phil
ippine commission.

The report divides the State for general
purposes of description into four sections
Western Maryland, North Central Mary.
land, the Eastern Shore and Southern
Maryland. The coal industry of the State
lies in Western Maryland, the coal beds
lying in the body of the mountains running
through Allegany and Garrett counties,
covering an area of % miles long and )
miles wide. The shipments OF coal from
this region over the Pennsylvania Railroad
in 1893 aggregated 2,272,SlS tons. This
includes the shipments over the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, which are fed by the
Cumberland and Pennsylvania.
The report takes a hopeful outlook for
the development of the farming and in
dustrial interests Of the State. Its tables
are of considerable value for reference, and
the informal on about the counties, the
nature of their products, the cost OF land
their location, etc, makes the book of
special interest to prospective settlers. The
work has been we'll done and shows the
many advantages of the State in glowing
but truthful colors.

The popular view of the relation of the
blood to human character and conduct is
marked in many familiar expression. We
speak of there being "bad blood" between
people at enmity, of 'blue blood" as indi-
eating ancestry, of ''black blood" as de-
scribing treacherous nature, and in many
another praise mark that in the mental,
moral and physical man, "the blood is the
life" The one basis OF healthful, happy
and useful life is pure blood. With the
blood pure disease has no permanent lodi
ging place in the system. For this reason
the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery rids the body of diseases which nave
their origin in impurity of the blood. 1t
absolutely puriiies the blood, carrying off
the waste and poisonous matter, increasing
the action of the blood making glands, and
building up the body by supplying the
blood in quantity and quality such as is
essential to a condition of health. 1t cures
ninety eight people out OF every hundred
who give it a fair trial.
