Mr.. Bryan and his friends wish to make
part of the next democratic national plat
form. When Dewey hauled down the
Spanish flag at Manila there was nothing
left for patriotic Americans to do but sus'
tain the government in its attempt to settle
the questions there arising without unduly
criticising its course" This balmy breath
from the southland is refreshing and must
be pleasant reading to all sane democrats
Governor Stone may yet prove to be the
corner stone of his party.

The Diet Fad.

Sensible people have learned that the
best diet is vasiety of wholesome food.
If the digestive apparatus is out of order
no amount of starvation diet will regulate
it. but will tend to aggravate rather than
remedy the silment. If you are bilious,
dyspeptic, liver torpid, bowels eonstipated,
yellow with jaundice, or have sick head
ache, cure yourself with Baxter's Mandrake
Bitters, and then eat reasonably of whole
some food and enjoy it. After you are
cured an occasional dose of Baxter's Man
drake Brtters will keep you well. Price 25

less to say it was ehristened in Boston.
An edifying spectacle was presented by
Senators Gallinger and Chandler of New
Hampshire being restrained by friends
from fstic encounter while they called
each other names after the fashion of
naughty little school-boys. 1t has been
noticed that these belligerent politicians
are never so really full of fight as when
they have plenty of friends around who
are able to hold them apart.
The aldermen of the three-year-old city
of Barre have as much business on hand
these days as young doctor. A special
meeting of the city council was hurriedly
called Sunday morning to consider some
startling developments in the Italian brib-
cry and extortion cases, and the city clerk
had to call some of the aldermen out of
church, Ia Dickens young Sawbones.
When it is little older the city probably
will not give its aldermen so much trouble.
A great many pretty things are being
said lately about the friendly feeling at
present existing between the north and
south, as evidenced by the monument
which the people of New Orleans are try
ing to erect to Admiral Dewey. 1t is of
course very nice of New Orleans to feel
like honoring our northern hero to such an
extent, but when it comes to sending out a
circular headed by burst of brotherly af-
lection from southern paper and asking
Vermonters for 25-cent subscriptions to
the monument fund, the warm-hearted, i'm
pulsive south reminds one of the generous
farmer who bought bis wife Christmas
present of several yards Of wooden stuff to
make him some trocks.

Of the market is said to include two
houses prominent in Chicago and a firm

Practically all the almonds consumed
in the United States are grown in Cali

small. The crop of the former statS

the crop of 1899 was ready for the mar

but the final returns showed hardly
more than $50 cars harvested. The
combinations agents were first to reach
the ground and in a few days had
bought all the almonds the growers had
to sell. The prices paid are supposed
to be in the neighborhOod of 915 cents

HUNTER Is ALL RIGHT.
His Wife Who Is Back From Guate-
maIa Says So.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 21.-Mrs. w. God
frey Hunter, wife of the United States
minister to Guatemala, arrived here to-
day from Guatemala. In speaking of
the charges which American citizens in
Guatemala are said to have filed
against Minister Hunter she said:
Il know nothing of any charges
against my husband. I am confident
that there can be no reasonable grounds
for complaining at the administration
of affairs in Guatemala as conducted
by DR.. Hunter. The report that he is
interested in certain deals with govern
ment officials of Guatemala is without
foundation. There is no truth whatever
in the story.
THE foundation of the whole thing
lies in the fact that when the president
of Guatemala came into power he found
his country in debt $50, ,00O,0 900. Much
of this was owed to Americans, Ger
mans and EngliShmen. The president
is making every effort to raise money
to pay off this enormous amount of
claims, but so far he has been able to
accomplish but little. It is unreasOna-
BILE to expect that all the American
claims would be paid before the Brit
ish or German creditors are consider
ed, even were the treasury of the cOun-
try full. Yet many Americans expect
DR. Hunter to have that very thing
done. When they find that no money
is as yet forthcoming they are inclined
to make complaints.

SPAIN REPUDIATES.
Declares That Cuba Must Pay the
Cuban Bonds.

New York. Sept. 21.-A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Wash
ington, says:
The decision by the Spanish cabinet
that the interest on the Cuban bonds
must be paid by the Cuban government
is a virtual announcement that Spain
will not pay the interest and that the
bonds are Valueless. Involved in this
announcement is the condition that
there may be an attempt to entangle
congress in a discussion of the respon-
Sibility of the United States govern
ment for the interest during the Amer
lean occupation of the island.
The action of the Spanish cabinet
was referred to the state department
from which the following authoritative
statement was obtained:
The United States commissioners at
Paris never at any time or in any de-
gree agreed that the United States
should become responsible for Spain'S
Cuban debt. There never was any un-
derstanding that any other party should
be responsible for that debt than Spain
herself The reason the United States
did not assume the debt, or any part
of it, was that the debt was incurred
almost wholly by Spain to crush the
several Instructions The United
States might have assumed to guaran-
tee this debt if the funds named had
been expended in internal improve
mentS in Cuba. This government, as is
well known, consented to pay Spain
twenty million in the case of the Phil
tppine islands, solely on the ground
that approximately that amount had
been expended by Spain in improve
mentS in the islands.
THE United States, therefore, has
assumed no obligations for and has no
interest whatever in the declarations
of the Spanish cabinet on the debts of
Spain or how they shall be paid. The
present declaration looks like a repudi-
tion of the debt, principal and interest"
The state department argues that
when Spain relinQuiShed her sovereign
ty in Cuba she relieved that island of
debts contracted to keep her in bond
age. This construction, it is held, is
affirmed in the notes which passed be-
tween the two disputing commissions
when the treaty was under discussion
in Paris.

A PRINCE Is SUITOR
For the Hand of Meat Packer swift's
Daughter.


Chicago, Sept. 21.-The Times Herald
says:
Prince AleviS KarageOrivich of Ser
via, is a suitor for the hand of Miss
Mabelle Swift, only child of E. c. Swift,
of the house OF Swift & Co, the big
meat packers. While in Paris Miss
Reed, the sister of the late Mrs. Paran
Stevens, introduced the prince and the
heiress. The princes wOOing resulted
in Miss Swift's consent to an engage
ment pending the ratification of the
match by her parents.
A radical objection by Mr.. Swift, how
ever, to ratifying the choice of his
daughters heart is the danger at some
future time of her being proclaimed
merely morganatic wife in case of the
elevation of Prince Alexis to the throne
of SerVia.
The American millionaire remembers
the fate of Betsy Patterson, whose
marriage to jerome Bonaparte brought
so much i'll into her life. He therefore
threatens to disinherit his daughter if
she persists in her love for the prince.
Miss Swift is about % years of age.
With her cousin, Miss Adelaide Murphy
of San Francisco, she was presented at
Queen Victoria s spring drawing room
and it is said was considered the hand
soonest young woman in that distin-
guished gathering. Prince Alexis is
