PRIVILEGES DEMANDED.
United States Will Insist on Rights
i'm China.

London, Nov. A special despatch
from Washington asserts that the
American state department recently
asked France, Germany and Russia to
give written assurances regarding the
preservation of the ''open door" in
China, being dissatisfied with mere oral
assurances and rejecting proposal
that the United Safes should seize a
port and establish a sphere of influence
in China.
eff these assurances are declined, u
says the despatch, "the United States
will insist upon China observing the
strict letter of the treaty giving the
United States equal rights with powers
in China"
The Daily Chronicle, commenting edi-
torially upon ''this new departure in
American policy, which will be fully
approved in England" dilates upon its
''immense Importance and suggests
that sit may affect the international
politics of Europe in venerable de-
gree"

THE PEOPLE MUST FREEZE.
Or Pay Trust Prices for Coal. An
other Combination.

Special Dispatch to the Leader.
Toledo, o., November S.-Said a
leading soft coal operator here to-day:
ga third attempt is being made to
organize soft coal combine, and it
will succeed. The first step taken was
the organization of stock company to
control the Massillon district. Most of
the capital stock was subscribed in
Cleveland. 1t is organized on plan
similar to the Pittsburg combination,
and it buys the coal lands outright.
An effort is being made to induce
operators to take stock in the combine
in payment for their properties, and
this is generally quite successful. AL
ready options have been taken on about
everything available in the Hooking
districts, and the deal contemplates
the control of an output of about Is,
900, 900 TONS"

A LESSON
In the Maryland Election, that
Should Not Be Overlooked.

Maryland, stoee the war, has been
strong Democratic State. But the
spirit of ''bossism" asserted itself there,
as it did in Kentucky, and disrupted
the Democratic party. The result was,
the State was turned sover to the Re-
publicans, who now have both the U.
S. Senators, from that State, AT the
election, Tuesday, however, the Demo
Gratis carried the State by majority of
from 10000 to $1,000, and elected a
majority of each branch of the Legis-
lature. The Secretary of the State
Democratic Committee explains this
return of the State to the Democratic
fold, in this sentence:
"The nominees of the Democratic
late convention were satisfactory to
Democrats generally and the way they
were nominated met with general ap-
proval."
In other words, party bosses were
trampled under foot and party nomi-
nations were made by the people.
This should be lesson, not to the
Democrats of Maryland alone, but to
the Republicans of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and other States. Only Mclean saved
Ohio to the Republicans at the late
election. AS party boss, partner in
Trusts, participator in election frauds,
and manager of an assignation Sheet
he was not only worse boss than
Hanna, and therefore could not draw
single Republican vote, but he was
offensive to thousands Of his own party,
who bolted his nomination and voted
for Jones. If the Democrats had been
smart enough to have trampled under
foot their bosses, and nominated Jones
on an antitrust, anti-Boss platform,
they would have carried the State.
The Republicans of Ohio should
learn q lesson from the Democrats of
Maryland.

There are some women who seem to be per
ennially youthful The grown daughters are
companions as well as children, and the color
in the mothers cheeks, the brightness in her
eyes, the roundness of her form, all speak of
abounding health What is her secret? She is
at the middle age Of life when so many wo-
men are worn, wasted and faded and yet time
has only ripened her charms. The secret Of
this matroniy health and beauty may be told
in the brief phrase, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. The general health Of woman is so
intimately related to the local health of the
delicate womanly organs that where these
are diseased, the whole body must suffer.
"Favorite Prescription dries the debillitat-
ing drains, heals liberation and Inflammation,
cures female weakness and imparts to the de-
licate female organs natural vigor and vital
ity. Women who have lost their health and
their beauty have been made robust and
rosy checked" by the use of this marvellous
medicine.
