Those who have used DR.. Pierce's Fa-
.vorite Prescription do not suffer from the
change of life either in face. form or feel
ings as do other women. This fact is due
to the intimate connection of the general
health with the health Of the organs pecu-
liarly feminine. By preserving the health
of these organs and relieving the system
from the facilitating drains, ulcers and in
Examinations which sap its health, Favor
lite Prescription - paves the way for this
natural change to come in Natures way,
without the loss of capacity to please others
or the personal inability to enjoy life
Mrs NJ. Barnes, of Balls Ferry, Shasta Co.
Cal, writes: My physician said was suffering
from the effects OF change Of life had heart
disease and womb trouble and rheumatism
My head was dizzy l could hardly stand up
When began DR.. Picrceis medicines l i'm proved
right along. took seven or eight bottles of the
Favorite Prescription a teaspoonful three
times day and the Pleasant Pellets at night
feel as well as ever did
There is no alcohol, whisky or other intox-
icant in Favorite Prescription" neither
does it contain opium or other narcotics.
You may be willing that somebody else
shall say that their baby is "iust as good .

The local sentiment against the Mall
boulevard project Is unmistakable as evil
denced by the fact that as rapidly as OPP
portunities offer the various citizens or
ganiZations join in condemning the scheme.
Last night 1t was the Columbia Heights
Association that expressed its disapproval
of the proposed intrusion upon the parks
and thus added to the weight of public
opinion. These expressions are valuable.
for Congress has provided in the sundry
civil bill for a survey of plans for the i'm
provement'' of the area lying between Penn
sylvania avenue and B street southwest,
and doubtless within a short time the Tex
pert landscape artist will be in evidence,
working out proposition. So that all con-
tributions to the park-protection movement
such as that of the Columbia Heights citi-
Zens, who spoke last night and the North
east Washington citizens. who spoke a few
weeks ago. are to be warmly appreciated
as aids in the defense of the principle that
has made Washington beautiful.

Maryland. under the leadership respectively
of Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Gornan to indorse The
Chicago platform. Little need he care
The Endorsement Of him covers in fact and
in effect all for which he stands He is
recognized as the leader Of the party. and
he and his lieutenants will be masters Of
the situation at Kansas City. They will
write the platform there. and 1t will bear
the imprint of his personality. Where Nc
Gregor sits is the head of the table With
Mr. Bryan as the presidential candidate.
there will be no difficulty in determining
what the democratic party stands for.
The most noteworthy thing connected
with the action IN Maryland Is the absence
OF Mr. Germans name from the list Of
delegates. His name should have led all
the rest. II would have invested the state
with distinction at the convention. But
as matters stand Maryland will be little
Considered there. and will probably take
refuge under New York's wing. And this
caring for Nr. Germans chicks by Mr. Hill
will be both suggestive and very pretty
picture. Let no man ray that the age of
chtvalry and forgiveness has passed.

The New York Times, in some observa-
lions on the situation in South Africa, says:
zone result of the war should be par
ticularly welcome and grateful to Amer
leans. Lord Roberts has taken the war out
of our politics. 1t has never been really
in them. But there has been danger that
the lack of principle of some politicians
and the lack of due sense of responsible
ity on the part of many more might induce
us to meddle with foreign question which
was no business of ours far enough to
leopard our good relations with England
relations the mutual value of which, in
view of our own entry into world poll
tics 1t would be hard to overestimate
There is no temptation any longer, as there
Is visib.y to all men no excuse, for any
further offers of interference or mediation.
The stripping by Great Britain of what
Lord Salisbury calls the last shred of in
dependence from the South African Re-
public and the Orange Free State is al
ready. by the British victory. as far re-
moved from present politics. as much q
question of history. as the partition Of Po-
land, the oppression of Greece, or the seiZ-
IRE of Scheswig Holstein. For Congress-
or for either political party, now to offer
sympathy would be merely to offer con-
dolence. That may be 'academically' done,
but it will be an absurdity that can now
entail no practically unpleasant or danger
Gus consequences"
Lord Roberts may have taken the Boer
war out of our politics. but not the Boer
question. That is entirely beyond his DOW
err. The men who introduced that question
into our politics are not easily discouraged,
and they have another shot in their locker.

The District has Jared exceptionally well

The. budget in its fna! shape carries total
of S1-76 saI31. much more than ever before

ing SS!,i14.I. Throughout Its course TINS
wear the bill has ELECTED evidence of a graft
flying willingness on the part of the COM
mfttees and the houses to approach more
closely than heretofore to the needs of the
capital The Commissioners estimates have
been very nearly reached in the final total,
the bill carrying only s167.3s1.17 less,
trifi,. compared with some of the cuts made
In the past This disposition on the part
o. Congress to give credcnce to the official
statements concerning the requirements of
the District is suggestive of more agree
able fiscal relationship between the capital
and the nation in the future.
The bill carries. however. more reason
for local congratulation than may be found
in the total of appropriations alone. If
on Y because of the Legislative reform af-
fecting the public schools the bill would be
noteworthy.
Opportunity is afforded for start the
filtration equipment lorg needed to rescue
the District from the muddy water supply
which has done so much to besmirch its
re3ute ideal place of residence. That
also is Il notable achievement, calling for
Special thanks.
Somewhat tarGiily Congress has in this
measure given heed to the demand for a
sewage disposal system. which has become
one of the crying needs of the capital. by
providing for the preparation of detailed
plans for a complete plant. 1t is to be
hoped that these plans, when submitted,
will be honored once and not treated as

OF course there are reasons for regret in
the bill. both by reason of the absence of
desired items and because of the smallness
of some Of the appropriations. But taken
whole and viewed in the light of the
past. this budget must be hailed as de-

The President and Congress.

We are witnessing in Washington just
now one of those exhibitions which give to
our politics pleasing aspect even in times
of fiercest contention. Congress is on the
eve of breaking up, and members are pre-
pairing to leave for home. Many of them
are hurried with their work and have their
hands full. but the busiest are finding the
time to call at the White House to say
goodbye. Not republicans alone. but dem
ocrats and populists also. are giving their
hand to the President at parting with
hearty good will He is to carry his par
tvs standard in what is likely to prove one
of the hottest of all our national cam
paigns, but those who will oppose him are
as particular about showing him this per-
sonal courtesy as those who will support
him. And to all alike he manifests his ap-
probation. and proves himself worthy of
their friendly interest.
The Presidents temperament is cordial.
hospitable and agreeable. He not only
draws men to him. but holds them. His
oldest friends are among his best friends.
Although educated in the politics of a state
divided between the two parties, now voting
in this one and now that one. and where
consequently things went with a howl and
hum, MIR. Mckinley never became in
volved in any unseemly strife; and he is
now a master of Cancellation. He has been
especially fortunate in dealing with Con-
gress. Having served for years as a men,
Der of the House. he not only feels a pro-
found respect for Congress, but knows all
of the difficulties 1t has to Surmount IN
bringing the order of enactment out of
what at times is chaos of suggestion.
The man of this description placed in
high office cannot escape a certain criti-
cism- Some people expect an executive 10
be driver; and they really appear to en-
joy being driven They seem to like to
hear the swish of the party lash. 1t nils
them with a groveling admiration to see
him frown and to hear him threaten. To
all such people Mr.. Mckinley in the White
House is disappointment He has mad
some predecessors whom they liked better.
Nevertheless. he has by his own methods
displayed very effective generalship in deal
ing with a number of very difficult prob
lens. and it is tall feather in his cap to
be approaching, as he is. his second cam
paign for the presidency with his own par
ty enthusiastically behind him, and the ol,-
position led by those who, with but few
exceptions, cherish for him the highest and
Sincerest personal regard.

ing their fellow-citizens on>the issues md
the duties Il the hour,>fhen the Times will
see how ~uttl< the achievements Of
Lord Roberts amount to as respects tho
Boer issue in our presidential contest
The hope in the circles dominated by MI.
Sulzer and Mr.. Lentz was that the war
would continue, with such occasional Boer
successes as would keep alive admiration
Of Boer vaior. Those two leaders could
have played upon that with great JUNCTION.
They could have pointed in ringing tones
to the neutrality Of the administration. and
compared the do-nothing Mr.. Mckinley
with the alert and aggressive and liberty
loving Mr.. Bryan. They would have claim
ed that with Mr.. Bryan in the White House
there would be a different story to tell
And such. in the language of Tammany
Hall. was the original Sulzerian LAY"
Now there must be a change in the indict-
ment. But only a change. An Indictment
and very damaging one, is still in order
The attention of the country will now be
called to the fact that this greatest Of all
republics looked indifferently on, under a
republican administration, and saw two Of
her small and helpless sisters, with arms
outstretched for assistance, perish under
the iron heel of Great Britain, when she
should have sent her ships and armies
against the tyrant. The people will be
asked to rebuke that, in the only fitting
way. by the election of Mr.. Bryan to the
presidency.
The Times is optimistic and premature
with its congratulations. We shall have
the Boer question with US for some months
yet. Lord Roberts, so far as we are con-
cerned, has simply spiked one of Mr.. Sui
zer's guns.
