TREATIES WITH SPAIN.
What Has Been Done to Restore Ante

1t is reported that Secretary Root has
warned the staff in Washington not to In
terfere with the feature of the army bill
which breaks up the present staff organi-
nation and sends officers back TO the line
after four years Of STAFF service. Hereto
fore, by the use OF social and other iniu-
ences, past attempts to make the staff a
part Of the real army have failed. Since
the last effort We W. had the Spanish
war. which disclosed the ineficiency of a
staff organization which had no real con-
nection with the army. II is predicted
the staff feature will pass. because no Of
acer will care to offer opposition to a bill
which the secretary of war so ~strenuously
favors.

strengthening OF Japan's relations 10 other

friction, showing the competence Of the

In the treatment OF the difficult Chinese

Brief Review of Our Dealings with

Ratifcations Of a treaty OF extraditlon

changed on June . last.
While the Acknowledgements government
has in the many cases that have been re-
ported of the arrest OF our naturalized
citizens for alleged evasion OF military
service, faithfully observed the provisions
of the treaty and released such persons
from military obligations. IL has in some
instances expelled those whose presence In
the community OF their origin was assert
ed to have a pernicious influence. Repre-
sensations have been made against this
course whenever it's adoption has appeared
unduly onerous.
We have been earnestly solicited by Bel

convention OF 1890. In respect 10 the regu-

II those congressman like Mr.. Hay, OF
Virginia. In whose State an easy license
system prevails, are so anxious to try pro-
hibition. why do they not advocate the APP
plication of the system to the District of
Columbia. instead of attaching an anti
canteen amendment to the bill for the re-
organization of the army? As 1t has been
demonstrated by the testimony of 80 per
cent. OF the officers in the army who come
in contact with the enlisted men that the
canteen promotes sobriety, 1t Is hoped that
representatives will have the courage TO
vote down the Hay amendment.

The announcement or the officials of the
experiment station in connection with
Purdue University that hereafter special
attention Will not be given to experiments
with sugar beets. may be accepted as an
intimation that the officers nave come to
the conclusion that their efforts in that
direction In the past eight or ten years
have not brought forth satisfactory re-
suits. Only the northern end OF the State
has soil adapted to the culture of sugar
beets- A few experiments have been made
IN the State, but it has been evident for
some time that Indiana farmers do not take
TO the sort of labor which is necessary TO
successful beet culture. The statement OF
the officers should prevent those who asked
for a bounty of the last Legislature from
repeating their request to the next.

POINTS OF EXCELLENCE
A few Reasons Which are Rapidly Making
New Catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new ca
tlrrh cure, has the following advan.
tages over other catarrh remedies:
First: These tablets contain no CO.
caine, morphine or any other injur-
ious drug and are as safe and benefi,
cal for children as for adults this is
an important point when it is recalled
that many catarh remedies do contain
these very objectional ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this
remedy does not deteriorate with age,
or an exposure to the air as liquid
preparations invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but it
is so far more convenient to carry and
10 use at any time that it is only
question Of time when the tablet will
entirely supersede liquid medicines
as 1t has already done in the medical
department of the United States army.
Next: No secret is made Of the conf
position OF Stuart's Catarrh Tablets;
they contain the active principle of
Eucalyptus bark, red gum blood root
and Hydrastin, all harmless antlsep-
ties which, ,however,are death to catarr-.
hal germs wherever found, because
they eliminate them from the blood
Next: You can not cure catarrh by
local applications to the nose and
throat, because these are simply local
symptoms and such treatment can not
possibly reach the real seat of catarrh-
al disease which is the blood, for this
reason, inhalers, douches, sprays, and
powders never really cure catarrh, but
simply give temporary relief which
dose of plain salt and water will do
just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out of the
system, out Of the blood, by an in,
ternal remedy because an internal rem
edy Is the only kind which can be as
simulated into the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this bet
ter than the old form of treatment be-
cause they contain every safe specific
known to modern science In the anti.
septic treatment of the disease.
Next: The use of inhalers,and spray.
ing apparatuses, besides being inef-
fective and disappointing is expensive,
while complete treatment of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets can be had at any
drug store in the United States and
Canada for so cents.
