"The band will be the best that it has
ever been" said Prof. r. Il. Hall, the
leader ana instructor Of the Watcrville
military band. Saturday, while speaking
of the organization. Several new players
are coming into the organization and IL
addition to that every member Is taklns
more interest in the organization than Il"
ever took before. This is due largely to
the assurance that the band is to have 4
firm financial backing. When the corporl
ton composed of the moncyed men of the
city. will be organized is not yet settled.
1t is thought that it will be some time
during the coming week. In the mean
time the band is hard at work and there
is every assurance that there will be no
further question as to whether or not the
city is to lose the organization that has
ranked among the foremost in the State.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachlan tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
aud unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an intiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free. Halls
Family Pills are the best. For sale by
all druggists.

The treaty should be ratified. The
senators who are opposing it will likely
regret their action. What condition
would we be in with the treaty turned
down by the senate? We would have
to ask Spain to make another treaty
that better suited these gentlemen op.
posing it. Hoar and German and Till
man with the Dons would dictate the
terms and many of the advantages of
the war to us would be thrown away.
Such position is out of harmony with
the spirit of the American people.

Democrats and Expansion.

The opposition of large portion of
the democratic party to the policy of
expansion and the claim they make
that expansion is in opposition to dem
ocratic principles, leads one to wonder
who is the exponent of democrtic prin-
ciples, Bryan and Arkansas Jones and
even Burke Cochran, or Jefferson, and
Jackson, and Calhoun, and Cass, and
Buchanan, and Marcy and host of
others. The democratic party claims
great credit for the age of its party.
They claim it's organization dates back
to the life of the great author of the
famous Declaration, and that it's prin-
ciples have been drawn from the very
principles held by the fathers of our
nation. They claim considerable credit
for the hoary nature of their party and
its principles. Nowif they claim such
credit it is but just and fair that the
principles of the great leaders of their
party from the revolution down to the
rebellion should be compared with the
party's leaders present avowals on this
question of expansion, and see whether
the present democratic claim to rev.
ernce for their ancient party is we'll
founded or whether it is not principally
gush.
While Bryan and his friends are talk.
ing against what they are pleased to
call imperialism and saying that call
just powers of government are derived
from the consent of the governed" and
are claiming their party, because of it's
principles, is opposed to expansion, we
recall that Thomas Jefferson, the rev.
cred patron saint of democracy, was a
greater imperialist than President Nc
Kinley dares to be. He annexed terri
tories without consulting the inhabi-
tants as to their consent. In vastness
the Louisiana acquisition exceeded
the Philippines so much that the latter
is only a patch. Jefferson found con-
stitutional authority to do this if
Bryan doesn't find it for acquiring the
philippines, and it has been supposed
heretofore that Jefferson was as good
Ia democrat us Bryan.
Jackson, and he was good democrat,
SO we have always been told, was some
thing of an imperialst himself. The
way he hustled Florida into this coun-
try and the way he said to the people
of South Carolina, that Shy the eter-
ma" and didn't say anything about
their consent, that he would govern
Them or hang them, leads one to think
that Bryan is in poor business working
(he magic of Jackson's name to sustain
his modern democracy.
Buchanan and Cass aud Marcy and
calhoun, all great leaders of democracy
md serving in the senate and as secre.
aries of state, all were strong annexa-
ionists as shown III the different
arts of the history of our country's
rogress.

Des Moines people have pledged 49,
600 for an auditorium and have formed
company and will proceed to build a
$4,000 building this spring. Des
Moines is the place to hold state conven-
tons for many and sufficient reasons
especially il it is provided with a good
auditorium. BY the way our capital
city is making excellent improvements.
The union depot, built last year, and the
new court house, the historical building
and the auditorium all promised this
coming summer, will help to make it
more than ever creditable capital city
for the best state in the union.
