Alatcr Inauguration Date.

Once every four years there is an
agitation for 4 change of the date of
the presidential Inauguration from
, March Alto a later date in April or
May. The proposition has gradually
acquired the support OF many leading
statesmen, and the change will proba-
bly, be made in due time in spite of
Tie conservatism which makes any
difficult matter. All will agree that
the usual wisdom of our country's
founders was lacking when they Sc
lccted such an inclement season for
this great national event. One Presi
, dent William Henry Harrison, died
from a cold contracted at his in
auguration and there have been many
less distinguished victims of the rig
orous weather which usually prevails
in Washington in early March.
A later inaugurati ton date would also
allow the short term of Congress to be
extended month or two and allow
much important business to be done
which is now generally postponed or
much sighted. Two years ago Scna-
tor Hoar introduced an amendment
changing the date from March 4 to
tie last Wednesday in April, but it
struck snag somewhere in its
passage. Now as another Inaugural
ton approaches there is an renewal of
the agitation for some such change.
1t is cited as a curious incident in history
that the rule fixing the 4th of March,
1889, as the date for the Inaugural ton of
the first President was not obeyed. Nor
was there a quorum of the House of
Representatives present on that day.
nearly a month later, April l. and a
quorum of the Senate did not assem-
BILE until April 6. This is cited by his
torans as evidence of the want of in
terest in the new Constitution. Ow-
ing to this Indifference, and to the de-
ton of his election. he was not in
augurated until April 80, so that his
first term did not last quite four

The Hay-Pauncefote treaty as
amended has been ratified, and now it
remains to be seen what England will
do about it. If the tone of the English
press indicates anything, England will
refuse to accept the changes and will
let the treaty fail, standing on its
rights under the former treaty which
this treaty, by one of its amendments.
would supersede. But it is to be hoped
that the dog-in- the -manger policy of
the English press will not prevail, and
that England will accept the amended
treaty with friendly promptness. The
main change is that which gives us the
right to close the Nicaraguan canal to
our enemies in time of war but not to
erect permanent fortifications there. 1t
is exactly the right which England has
at Suez. The new canal must be of
American ownership and control in
peace and war. The Senate is right.
No diplomatic quibble should be al
lowed to delay its construction.

President Buffers Resignation.

The Journal in common with all
friends of Colby College much regrets
to learn that President Butler has
rendered his resignation to take effect
at the close of the present college
year. The announcement comes as a
complete and unpleasant surprise,
and will tend to cause Maine to feel
some unkind thoughts toward Prcsi-
dent Harper of Chicago who thus
steals from us this brilliant and
popular young educator. For five years
Colby. His administrati ton has been
emincntly successful. He has built up
and strengthened the institution in
every department and his departure
will be severe blow.
DR.. Butler, respected as he is by all
who know him as scholar and a
teacher. has particularly strong
hold upon the hearts of those who
have been students under him. He is
a man of broad sympathies who re-
members his own undergraduate days
at Colby and retains a keen interest
in all student activities. He is the
man whom the boys and girls justly
look upon as their best friend and
his strong and noble character teaches
a more inspiring lesson for better
manhood than any college course can
possibly afford. We can easily under
stand how the loss of such a president
is source of deepest regret to all
the undergraduates and alumni of Col
by and how earnestly they will wish
him all success in his new and broad
er field of work. And all Maine joins
in this regret and this wish, for DR..
Butler has by no means confined his
work to the classroom or the campus.
His influence has been widely felt
within our borders, and Maine, the
State of his birth and education ard
successful college presidency, will
ever count him affectionately as one of
her honored sons and will hope for MS
return.

One of the strangeSt cases that has
attracted public attention of late is
that Omaha kidnapping affair in which
a rich father promptly paid the $4,000
in gold demanded for the safe return of
his son. 1t may be that the course of
justice would have been better served
had Mr.. Cuhady refused the demands
of the kidnappers and joined the police
authorities in a vigorous attempt to
capture the wretchcs, but the restora-
ton of his son was his first considera-
ton, and all will agree that his course
was a natural one. In the famous
Ross case the parents refused to give
the ransom required and neither the
child or it's kidnappers were ever
found. The Omaha crime was very
bold one and no doubt it's success will
encourage sharp scoundrels elsewhere
to attempt a similar road to riches. 1t
is much to be hoped that the guilty
party may yet be brought to justice
and a punishment administered which
will discourage kidnappers.

GOOD REASON FOR IT.
The Success and Popularity Of the New Catarrh
Cure.

The remarkable success and popular
ity of the new Catarrh cure, Stuart s
Catarrh Tablets. is largely because it
not only cures catarrh. but because ca
tarrh sufferers who use these tablets
know what they are taking into their
systems: no secret is made of what
they contain. They are composed of
Hydrastin blood root. guaiacol and
red gum. are pleasant to the taste and
being dissolved in the mouth they take
Immediate effect upon the mucous
lining of the throat. nasal passages
and the whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets have accomplished in old chronic
cases are little short of remarkable.
and the advantage of knowing just
what you are taking into your system
is of paramount Importance when it is
remembered that the cocaine or NOR
phine habit has been frequently con-
tracted as the result of using secret ca :
tarrh remedies. as so many of them are
well known to contain these injurious
drugs
Stuart'S Catarrh Tablets meet with
the approval and cordial support of
DuySlCldiS bttduSe lIltlI dHtISeUllc
character renders them perfectly safe
for the general public to use and
their composition makes them a COM
mon sense cure for all forms of ca
tarrhal trouble.
With nearly all advertised catarrh
cures it is matter of guess work as
to what you are taking into the
stomach. as the proprietors. while
ma king all sorts of claims as to what
their medicines will do. are very care
full to keep it a close secret as to what
they really contain.
This is one reason why Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets have been so widely
recommended, because they are not
only pleasant and convenient to take
but the patient also knows he is not
putting into his stomach anything of
an injurious character.
These tablets are sold by druggists
everywhere in the United States and
Canada at so cents for complete treat
ment and probably there is no better
remedy ever devised for the perma
nent cure of catarrh whether located
in the head, throat. bronchial tubes OF
in the stomach.
