Secretary Roots report Of our mill

1t sho VS. that there are In the United
States 10, 343.l32 men available for
service ia any emergency that may
demand a supreme national effort.
1t is extremely improbable that such
an emergency ever will present itself;
it could only be the result Of a de-
mand for men to repel invasion at a
time when large part of our troops
were engaged abroad. But the show
ing is magnificent. 1t Is doubtful II

A special from Washington to the

next few months of the American
military force in Cuba. There are
now 10 Cuba four general officers with
a total of less than 5000 troops War
department officials believe that this
entire military force can be safely
reduced one-half. Such reduction
will MOI be made suddenly, but will
be gradual and In proportion to the
developement of civil control in
Cuba. Secretary Root does not con-
slider that It will be necessary to wait

1t Is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival Of the doctor. An AL
bany, IN. W dairyman called at a
drug store there for a doctor to come
and see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not finding the doctor In, ne
left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some re-
lief until the doctor should arrive.
In a few hours he returned, saying
the doctor need not come, as the child
was much better. The druggist, Mr..
Otto Scholz. says the family has since
recommended Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to their neighbors and friends
until he has constant demand for
It in that part OF the country. For

An examination of the pension rec
ords In Washington shows that $50
special pension bills which passed
congress have been vetoed by the ex.
ecutive. Grover Cleveland has the
honor of vetoing 555 of them. All
the Republican presidents since the
war have found only three bills to
which they could not conscientiously
affix their signature. A part OF Gro
YER Cleveland's Democracy is popular
with Democrats Of today, but as a
rule those who are elected to con-
gress are secretly In sympathy with
his Democracy regarding private pen
sions, and old soldiers who will have
chance to choose between a Demo-
cratic aud Republican president in
a few months will do well to remem-
Der this fact. AS the years 60 by the
number to whom the general pension
legislation which has been Uniform
ly Republican legislation will not az
ford needed relief will increase. Pri-
vate pension bills to meet special
cases will be more urgent, Does the
record made by Democratic execu-
tive commend itself to the veterans
who may need assistance, or to their
comrades who would universally be
glad to see them relieved? II not
the record made by the only Demo
cratic president who has occupied the
White House in thirty-five years
should be remembered, and the
chance Of another Democrat trying
to beat that record should be made
AZ remote as possible, so far as that
may be accomplished by the old SOL

is generally well received throughout
this district, though other aspirants
have strong friends who had hoped
for change. Mr.. Crump's prompt

business ability and methods, and
the fact that he is right in line with
the administration and thoroughly
posted on the needed legislation Of
the nett two years makes the con-

would not be wise at this time. as a
new man could hardly be expected
to have the influence or do the work

There Is no comparison between
former editions and this splendid

ed in beautiful colors, on much finer
paper, its 1876 pages are packed with
invaluable information ON storms,
astronomy and meteorology. 1t is
illustrated with nearly 200 finest

This superb book would sell any
where for fifty cents, but 1t costs
only Csc copy, and every subscriber
to Rev. Irl r. Hicks now famous
paper, Words and Works, at 800 a
year, receives this elegant Almanac
as premium. Words and Works Is
a recog nized leader among the best
family and scientific journals, while
nothing of its kind can compare
with the Hicks Almanac. One dol
lar q year Is a nominal price for such
unique and useful publications. Pro-
fessor Hicks has justly, and Of neces-
sity, withdrawn his storm and

manacs, having generously given his
time and labor free for nearly twenty

Could there be more perfect ex-

doctrine as that doctrine is lnterpre-
ted by the opponents OF the present
treaty? The condition is that the
European nations shall enter into an
express agreement not to interfere in
the exclusively American affair OF
the isthmian canal. This goes far
beyond anything there is Ia the Mon
roe doctrine, which at most amounts
to declaration on our part that
they shall rot interfere, They are
now to join in an instrument which
says that they will agree to respect

keep their hands of the canal and let
