Alliance and the Open Door.

II cannot be doubted that the sugges
speech at Hongkong, that the "open door
in China might well be guaranteed by a
coalition of Great Britain the United
States, Germany, and Japan, has a good
deal Of sense In ii. AS far as this country
is concerned. however. it remains to be
seen whether our interests are imperiled
by the attitude or purposes of our old
friend, Russia. Our future policy in the
Far East will have TO be governed by cir
cumstances. II goes without saying that
in the division of the trade of Asia, Amer
lea must have an equal chance with all
ether nations, or suffer great damage 1t
has not yet appeared that the Car has
any idea of acting TO our disadvantage
although il must be said that 1t would be
pleasanter if We had some assurance or
arrangement TO cover possible doubt in
the premises.
There is, of course, a hars possibility
that the Russian interest in China, which
very likely involves obstruction TO Great
Britain in that part of the world, would
render ii inconvenient TO extend TO the
United States the benefits of policy in
which it was not desired to have the other
states share. In that event we might per-
force find ourselves in the same boat with
England and be compelled to look out for
ourselves. As last resort we might be
brought TO consider Lord Charles Beres-
ford's idea with favor. But it would be
with sincere regret that the American peo-
pie would contemplate even diplomatic
difference with power which on more
than one occasion has demonstrated its
kindliness to the Union

The ordinary estimates of the wealth of
millionaires are liable TO great error. 1t
has been frequently asserted that the late
Senator Brice had accumulated a fortune
Of not less than seven and perhaps as
many as ten millions 1t is row revealed
that his entire riches did not exceed six
hundred thousand dollars. There is no rea-
son TO think that this is all exceptional
instance. Even serious writers in the
economic magazines make eXtravagant
statements of the amount OF wealth pos
sessed by few men. 1t is recalled that
Chicago speculator who was alleged to
have made a cool million-why cool out
Of a transaction in wheat was found TO
have cleared not more than fifty thousand.
Il million dollars is an enormous sum-"
he said. and l never had so much" Il
is probable that many men who are cred
tied with FIVE millions would find it hard
TO realize half million in an emergency.

The main hope of the Administration in
relation to the Filipinos is that the pro-
mitigation of the proclamation prepared
some weeks ago will convince them of the
good intentions Of this Government. II is
unfortunate that this contingency was not
foreseen. There was no reason for keep
ing them in ignorance of the general ,pur-
pose TO consider their welfare. 1t has
been known that influences antagcnistic to
this country have been at work ever since
the capture CT Manila, TO create a distrust
OF Americans, and nothing has been done
TO meet it. The dilatory methods of deal
ing with the Filipinos are inexplicable, es-
peciaily as representatives of the more in
telligent element have appealed for some
definite statement as to the fate Of the
islands. \ war with them would be q Sc
rious matter, and it would be welcomed
by the enemies Of expansion.

Governor Hits AdjUtHnI General


Corbin.-Army officers and a good many
politicians were deeply interested in that
portion of Governor Roosevelt's first mes
sage to the New York legislature, made
public today. which is devoted to a re-
view of the National Guard Of the Empire
State. Governor Roosevelt makes some
very pertinent comments on the relative
positions Of the major general command
ing and the adtutant general, and ii is
believed in army and political circles in
Washington that the particular target
Colonel Roosevelt had in his minds eye
was Adjutant General Henry c. Corbin
The adjutant general" Governor Roose-
welt says, lis to work in conjunction with
him tthe major general, commanding;
he is not an independent officer, still less
a superior officer. He can do no more
than deliver the orders of the governor
and act as his representative. The major
general has the power and he should be
given every possible facility for the ex-
ercise of this power. If be fails to do
his duty he should be removed and anoth-
er put in his place
That is true every word of it." eX-
claimed an army officer today after read
ing the above extract from Roosevelts
message, "and it applies with greater force
10 the regular army than to the National
Guard of New York or any State. Most
Of the trouble and scandals of the late war
could have been avoided if the principles
laid down by Gov. Roosevelt had been fol-
lowed by the War Department. Gen.
Miles should have been placed in actual
command and if he proved himself incom-
petent he should have beeen removed and
another appointed in his place. 1t is un-
precedented and an outrage that the ad-
jutant general should be permitted to act
independently of the major general COM
manding and practically nullify his orders
Every regular army officer outside of the
Alger- Corbin ring will throw up his hat
and give three cheers for Roosevelt when
he reads his message
Shrewd politicians perceive in Roose-
velt's utterances menace to the McKin-
ley Administration. Unless. they say Mr.
Mckinley unloads Alger and puts curb
on Corbin, Roosevelt may become a dan
gerous competitor for the Republican
nomination for President next year.

fascination, it is pointed out, about the

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE oF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing,
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry of American
business life, it is more often the result
of weak stomachs, of poor digestion
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves. the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is
affected by the form of poor digestion.
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There is a
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest, caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action:
hence arises DalDitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and Watery.- which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can be done by the regular use.
after meals, of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which may
be found at most drug stores, and
which contain valuable. harmless di-
gestive elements in a pleasant, conyen-
lent form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer of
the stomach.
Full-sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at so cents. Little
book on stomach troubles mailed free.
