No one can know, as he who has suffered
from it, the dreadful experience OF
1ruD;lrd's life. New York morning
paper in Il briet paragraph showed the
terrible tragedy Of drink when it told OF
the fireman who was thrown from his truck
and fearfully Injured. Going at full speed
lround 4 corner upon O paved street the
nook -and-ladder department made some
5alk and was thrown. The fireman who
had been seated upon the top, holding the
Drake, was hurled against the .curbing with
such force that the bones OF his legs broke
and protruded through the flesh. The
companions who picked him up carried
him into the nearest pharmacy, and with
their own notions Of first aid to the in
iured," proceeded to fill him up with the
best brandy. But to their surprise his lips
were set with flrmness that excluded
every drop; and then it was remembered
that be had once been drinking man and
was now reformed. To his mind, tortured
as he was by pain, a broken leg was moth.
Ing to an open bottle. No persuasion
could induce him 10 tRste the liquor tha;
was brought, nor even to accept anRsthe-
ties; and he bore the setting OF the broken
bones without stimulants or optates rather
than iucur the slightest risk OF relapse
from abstinence. How much thnt speaks
for his llrmness and the terror inspired by
tho past experience OF fdrink.-1nterior.
4 Railroad Goes Ont o. Saloon Business.
The Southern Pacific Railroad, which
hitherto has been conducting saloons for
the sale OF liquor In the various eating
houses along Its Iine. has Issued an order,
that went into effect the first OF June,
sbolshing all OF chem. The liquor bust
ness has been considerable source Of
revenue to the road; but ut the same time
it has been found that It placed before its
employees Il constant source OF temptation,
which frequently resulted in drunkenness
and CONSEQUENT accidents; and, rs we'll, 1t
had been found that patrons OF the road,
after free indulgence at the bar OF she res
taurant, frequently met with accidents In
attempting 10 board the train, entailin4
suits for damages. Therefore the recent
action has been taken. The company has
tor some time past bad rule prohibiting
the use o. liquor by Its employees while on
duty: hut this rule has beeu, to Il large ez-
TEN, ignored, and the company has ii!th-

during the past winter In spite CT
changeable weather. in spite of tie ma
tural set-backs from catching cold, and
confinement to illy-ventilated rooms,
the great catarrh remedy-Pe-ru-na-
has effected these cures. But now
spring is here. The days are longer,
the sun is warmer. and the blizzard is
gone for another year. This pres suts
a much more favorable opportunity for
the permanent cure of chronic catarrh,

is the time to begin treatment Other

ALASKA BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Canadians Trying, From Excess of
 Thrift, to Drive Hard Bargain.

The Anglo-lAmerican joint high commission for the adjustment of various questions in dispute between
 this country and Canada adjourned several months ago because the Alas
 kan boundary presented an apparently insurmountab,e obstacle to successful
 negotiations. After the adjournment of the commission the two govern
 ments undertook to devise plans for
 settling the boundary dispute and thus clear the way for the consideration of
 various other important questions in
 debate. It is now reported that just
 as a virtual agreement is reached to
 remove the boundary question from
 the hands of the commission and sub
 nit it to the decision of a special tri-
 bunal of arbitration, Canada inter
 poses a fatal objection in the shape of
 demand for a strip of our territory.
 Canada's position is understood to be
 that she will not assent to the submis-
 sion of the boundary question to arbi-
 tratIon unless Pyramid harbor for a
 port and z strip of land shall become Canadian territory. If the reports are
 correct, this is the kind of arbitration that eXacts a favorable decision in ad-
 vance on the vital point at issue as a condition of submitting to arbitration,
 and naturally has met with objection from this government. The negotia-
 tions are now at standStiH and, un- fortunately, if the deadlock continues, there is very slight hope that the high commission will resume it's sittings to
 settle the other important issues,
 which, it is said, were on the point of adjustment when the boundary dis pute blocked the way. The news comes from Washington that this govern ment is considering retaliatcry meas uIes as a means of bringing the Ca nadians to their senses, but we trust that there will be no recourse to a tar if war. Canada has long been a pro verbally truculent negotiator and per verse neighbOr. England and this country are anxious to clear up all disputes and probable causes of future misunderstanding and have joined at The Hague peace conference in giving hearty support to the principle of ar bitration. Great Britain has thus a broad, imperial interest in urging her colony to accept arbitration, and al though under the influence of the new imperia.istic spirit new sc strong, i shows herself very compliant | to the demands of the colonies, it may be expected that if Canada s case is as unreasonable as it is reported to be, | the mother country will make every | effort to modify the demands and put | to a practical use the doctrines which | she advocates at The Hague. The | London Times, which defends Canada, | says of the influence of the colony up- on the British government policy:
 Full knowledge of the Canadian case is essential before passing judg- ment, though it would be as mulch out Of Diace to talk of Canadian opinion as the power behind the British gov ernment, deterring that government from acting as it's own chief minister

The New York Times evidently re- gards itself as a good democrat, but it cannot be so regarded by the leaders of the party who are desperately cast ing about for a new issue. It is down on free silver, it upholds the courts, and a few days age it warned Bryan that he would only offend his jaw if he tried to talk the trust question into politics Now it smites the last of the hopes of Bryan and his crowd with this wise word:
 We must depend upon the president to take Cuba and the Philippines cut of politics. By the artificial methods of politics his opponents can make no issue cut of the cry of imperialism. They will fail entirely to awaken the people unless the people are already awake. If the, president satisfies the majority Of the American people, MT.

FALSE PRETENSES.

It is the same old party of obstrue-
 licn, demagogy and stupidity. Ever
 since the democratic party has been
 holding conventions and framing plat
 forms it has been making the most
 vigorous prCtestations that the rich,
 in their individual and corporate ca
 pacities have been virtually robbing the poor by evading just taxation and
 throwing unjust burdens on the poor
 Finally a republican senator in New York, backed by a republican governor and legislature, devised, framed and
 passed a tax measure whose admitted
 purpose was to compel corporate in- terests to pay more of their just share of the public burdens and relieve the masses in like proportion. The Ford franchise tax law was just what the democrats have been bowling for, if their professions could be trusted, for generations. It gave them 8 rare opportunity to prove their sincerity
 What did they do with the chance? Led by Senator Grady, who fought tho measure at every step in its passage and made a speech several hours long against it, every democratic legislator with a half a dozen honorable excep- tions voted to defeat the Ford bill and let the corporations owning immense " valuable rights for which they pay nothing escape taxation. Richard Croker (dem.) who controls the com ing and going of Grady and his con freres owns many franchises. William c. Whitney (dem-) owns franchises, and ether leading democrats in the Empire state will have to pay large taxes to the state through the Ford law. When it comes to taxation af- 'ecting themselves the dear people are not of so much importance. Once more the democratic party stands con 7icted of false pretenses and arrant 1emagogy.

AT COLUMBUS.

If the result in the Ohio republican convention had been different from what it was yesterday, we should have heard much today about the rebuke to President Mckinley, the repudiation of the admiEistration's policy, and the disappearance of Senator Hanna as q political power
 That not exactly being the way things went at Columbus, it is proper to put corresponding emphasis upon the indorsement of the president, the approval of the presidents policy and the continued existence of Hanna?
 Not a bit of it. It was an ordinary days work at Columbus. Merely an incident in the serene and stately march onward of the republican policy which is tEa presidents policy and likewise the American policy-New York Sun.
