The microbes that cause chills and
fever and malaria enter the system
through mucous membranes made
porous by catarrh. Pe-ru-na heals the
mucous membranes and prevents the

HOW much of the alleged Cuban
agitation is due to the enterprise of
newspaper publishers, and how much
real dissatisfaction there is with the
American methods of instituting bet
ter government for the people, it is
difficult to say, remarks the Owatonna
Journal. Doubtless the native Cubans,
who are not made up of the best MATER
ial anyway, find it irksome to submit
to the restraints of orderly rule and
will need good deal of tutelage be-
fore they develop working faculty
for self-government. However they
have had some pretty convincing EVIL
dence that to rebel against the Span
iards and to take up arms against the
United States are two entirely differ
ent things, and there is every reason
to hope that, Notwithstanding sporadic
outbursts here and there, they will be-
fore long come to appreciate the fact
that their lot will be much easier un-
der a stable%and just government than
where every man is law unto himself
"a condition which prevailed largely
in the so-called insurgent "army."

The "Fighting" Sixth.

Should Minnesota's growth in popu-
lation from 1895 to 1900, equal her
growth from 1890 to 1895, the census
next year will show 1900, 900 inhab-
itants, in round numbers, and after al
lowing for an increase in the congress
sional ratio from $1,000, where it has
stood for years, to 100000, the State
would be entitled to ten members of
congress instead of seven, the present
number.
The figures which follow show the
population by congressional districts
for 1890 and for 1895, with the increase
in numbers and the percentage of in
crease, based upon which latter is an
estimate of what the showing ought to
be next year. It is an estimate of
what the showing ought to be next
year. It is an interesting study, and
will be followed by great many peo-
pie who watch the population gains for
their bearing u pom questions of practi-
cal politics. ..- ~. =,

DEWEY's success in the Philippines
is giving the postoffice department so
much trouble that some of the en-
ployes are almost inclined to wish he
had been defeated. Already eight
postoffices in as many States have been
named for the hero of Manila bav.
and still there are more to follow.
This number is only four behind the
number of postofices named for Wash
ington. More than 800 Dewey appli-
cations are on file. There are seventy
towns in Tennessee that want to be
called Dewey; Kentucky comes to the
front with fifty applications, and Ten
nessee with forty-fve.

The Washington Star comes pretty
near describing the real thing when it
drops into verse, thusly:
You can see the pen points glisten like thicket
grown with STEEL
And the many miles of paper spinning off the
factory reel;
You can see the metal heating for the types
that CLEAN and chink;
You can hear the restless murmur of the
swiftly flowing ink.
When a cruel war is over; when the cannon's
echoings cease,
There's still a dreadful interval before we get
to peace.
The magazines will haunt US while we break
fast, dine and sup,
1t takes six months to fight it and an age to
write it up.

AS Memorial Day approaches we be-
gin: to- realize more than ever the
changes which have" come with the
past twelve months. One year ago the
country was stirred with the prepara-
tions Tor war. From every hamlet had
gone forth some of it's young men and
those left behind suffered and waited.
This year most of these patriotic sons
have returned, but some are still alb
sent in the far east, fighting to uphold
the flag of their country in a distant
land. In some of the cemeteries there
are added mounds and under them
sleep the victims OF the Mauser or
southern fever. Mingled with the
dust of the patriots of '61 lie the ashes
of another generation and new hearts
are bleeding from fresh wounds.
Peace has come after the Spanish war,
the rebellion in the Philippines, is
drawing to a close, and the boys are
ready to return. While success has
crowned American arms on every field
and our hearts are filled with pride,
let us pray as we perform our sad
duties next Tuesday that this land may
never again hear the call to arms and
that universal and everlasting peace
may settle over the entire world.
War has it's glories, but it has its sor-
rows, too.

The population figures of the State
never have been separated by con-
gressional districts until now, for pur-
poses Of comparing 1890 with 1895, and
this is the first publication showing
that separation. The district showing
the largest gain from 1890 to 1895 was
the sixth. The second district came
next, which may surprise good many
people who have not been watching
the growth Of that section. The
seventh district stands third in per-
centage OF gain, and is very close: to
the second. After the seventh comes
the fifth district, Hennepin county.
The district showing the smallest gain
is the fourth, St. F aul.
Should the congressional apportion-
ment be raised to 100000, which is
probable, Minnesota would be entitled
to nine congressman sure, possibly ten,
provided that the last five years have
shown a, growth equal to that of the
five years from 1890 to 1895. The only
districts which will not have to be
changed are the first, third and fourth,
and possibly the fifth. The last named
will have good many people in ex-
cess of the apportionment, but will
have to be content, unless it wants to
take in some adjoining counties and
have two members. This is the way
the matter is settled in Milwaukee,
which is too large for one congress
man and not large enough for two.
Certain wards and towns in that city,
enough for the superintendent, are set
off into a district, and the. remainder
Of the city and county is tied onto
other counties for second district.
The greatest shake-up next year, so
far as congressional matters are con-
cerned, will be in the second, sixth
and seventh districts. The sixth and
seventh ought to have enough people
for three members instead of two, even
at the increased ratio. What will be
done with the second is not known, UNI
less some of its western counties one
given to northern Minnesota. ~ The
second cannot combine with either the
first or third and have enough popula.
tion for three representatives. 1t will
have so largesan excess for one mem
Der, however, that it will of necessity
be reduced in size. The practical
politics will come in when it comes
time to decide which Of its counties
are to be Topped of. Minneapolis jour.

THE TRUE EDITOR-THE NAN:

Independence of thought and speech
is wonderful thing and should be
possessed by every citizen of this re-
public. But how few of us are free
absolutely free. There are political
alliances, church alliances, business
alliances, social alliances and financial
alliances, all composed OF the citizen
ship of our realm, and too often are we
apt to allow our real Independence to
be swayed or silenced by one or more
of these alliances. The country editor
probably speaks as little of HIS own
freedom as any other man. He above
all others should be free from ;allian-
ces that warp and twist his Judgment
and silence his Individuality. He
should be as he pretends-a leader of
thought not follower of policy.A Let
his opinions be his own and their ex-
preston will win him distinctiohYx let
them be dictated by some alliance and

Although the contest is not till an
other year, the question of successor

senator's, but the advantages gained by
continuing Senator Davis at Washing
ton till he had climbed to the top of
the heap, although he did not greatly
distinguish himself till far into his
second term, has considerably modified
Minnesota sentiment. We think, there
fore, that Senator Nelson will be re-
elected without serious opposition in
his own party. He has had long1ex-
perience in public life which is inval-
liable to him as a legislator, while as
worker for State interests he is con-
slant and tireless. Surely no one out
side of Minneapolis would ask the
honor, and there the movers would
have to leave the field of experienced
public men and bring out a candidate
with barrel, though not necessarily
in the Touring business. Such action
just at this time when great combina-
tions of wealth are forming would hurt
the party and prove unwise in many
ways. Better counsel will PREVAIL

Curious opais Found In the bamboo of

pearance OF perfect opal. These
modules are known to the natives as
'tobacur,' and | have found from time
to time during my long stay on the
islands seen several Of these vegeta-
BILE freaks of nature which reproduced
the characteristic lines of the opal so
faithfully that experts were puzzled to
know the difference between the
vegetable and the real specimen. "Be-

These cocoanut gems range from the
size Of pin head to that Of a small

used by the natives for personal adorn-
ment, are sold to local and foreign mu-

these vegetable gems was made by
