Old Calamity .Altgeld declares
that our troops are in China
simply as the tools of England.
In the meantime the American
legation at Picking has been be-
sieged for weeks by the Chinese.
What can be Altgeld's idea as to
the duty of the United States
government in such an emergency
is a connundrum. Evidently he
does not believe it to be worth
while to put forth an effort to res
cue the American minister but
would leave him and the other
Americans in Picking to the tender
mercies Of the Boxers. The ma
tional honor would indeed become
a byword and a reproach were
such as Altgeld permitted to as
sumo charge at Washington.

Facts
for Women

Any article, whatever it's merit,
must be made known to the public by
lei of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for q
thing, cannot do everything. It may
create a sale for q time, but in order
to insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. It has
solid worth
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
is a lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. It has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case. for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.

Forty Years Among Cannibals

The French adventurer who was
a captive among cannibals in Gen.
trail Africa for forty years, has de-
cided to write a book, which will
no doubt prove interesting. We
can sympathize with his release
from his terrible captivity, which
must have been as joyous as that
of a man who finds himself sud-
denly released from the captivity
OF a refractory stomach, by that
peerless remedy, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which has done
more to promote health than any
other in existence. This is the
medicine to take if you are a suf-
ferer from dyspepsia, constipation,
indigestion, biliousness, nervous
ness or insomnia. Don't fail to
give it a trial. Ask for Hostel
ter's, and do not accept a substi-
tute. The genuine has Private
Revenue Stamp over the neck of

The Republican national plat
form says: I'VE indorse the adj
ministration of William McKin-
ley. Its acts have been estab,
lished in wisdom and patriotism,
and at home and abroad it has
distinctly elevated and extended
the influence of the American
nation"
How true are these words no in
telligent and observing person
needs to be told. At no time in
its history has the credit and
of the United States
been so high abroad as they are to
day. We rank amongthe most in
fuential nations of the world and
no important move on the checker
board of international diplomacy
is made without first consulting
this government.
To maintain this high standing
is the thought of William McKin-
ley and the Republican party and
to lower it is the aim Of William
Bryan and his supporters. We
have advanced at rapid strides
toward the heights of national
greatness, but instead of going on
still further, the Bryan party
would have us retrace our steps,
shrink from duties and responsible
lities we have assumed, and which
should be the means of still further
elevating us in the eyes of the
world, and become a nondescript
nation.

Il 1UDGE's ADVICE.

Given to . MAJ Who wavered Be-
tween Religion and Politics.
A well known western representa-
tive IN congress, pleading an engage
ment, left a small group Of takers in
an up town hotel lobby, and an elderly
man, whom he had introduced to the
party, made bold to tell a story about
the departed.
II have known him." he said, lever
since he was a boy, and when he came
out of college he was undecided wheth-
er to become a lawyer and politician or
go to a theological seminary and be-
come a clergyman. He was fond Of
politics and thought that with a little
law and more religion on the side he
might become a great moral reformer.
You know that's the way most all very
young men feel when they undertake
politics for the first time.
However, before he had had time to
determine finally what he would do,
his friends came after him to run for
h legislature, as he had the availa-
bility and a pretty fair amount of cash.
This brought him face to face with
b question he had been much dis
turbed over, and he went to Judge
Blank, a veteran In politics and a man
OF the highest character, for assistance
IN solving the problem. He stated his
case In full to the judge, and the grand
old man put his hand on the young
mans shoulder.
"'My boy he said, as only he could
say 1t, 1T can't be politics and religion.
1t must be one or the other. You can't
ht yourself for heaven and for the leg
islature at the same time, and there's
no use trying. That is all 1 can say,
and you will have to make your own
choice "-Washington Star.

other and their dislike and hatred
are mutual. They are trying to
pull in harness together because
they realize that in no other way
can they possibly achieve a mite
Of success. It is greed for office
that constitutes the bond of union
between them and even this slen-
der cord Of sympathy is sure to be
broken soon as a reault of failure
to reach the flesh pots for which

OF THE CROWN


Uneasy rests the head that
wears a crown" This proverb is
true now as it has been in all ages
Of history. Kings and queens,
often envied by silly people, sell
dom lead easy and restful lives.
Only a few days ago the king of
Italy fell a victim to an assassin's
bullet, and since then an unsuc-
cessful attempt to take the life of
the Shah of Persia has been made.
What effect these murderous
assaults have upon other crown
wearers may readily be compre-
hended. With scarcely an ex-
ception they will be greatly
alarmed. The emperor of Russia
will feel called upon to increase
the precautionary measures for
preserving his regal body from
harm at the hands of his loving
subjects and the sultan Of Turkey
will cover in the recesses of his
harem in more abject terror than
ever.
Better in these days is it to be a
free American citizen than to be q
king in the old world. The
American goes where he pleases
and when he pleases without
thought Of personal harm to him
self, but the crown wearer scarcely
dares to show himself in the cap
ital city Of his own country, for
fear the hand of some sneaking
anarchist may lay him low.
The American freeman, con-
scious of his own security under
"a government of the people for
the people and by the people"
should pity the poor kings and
queens who Cypress their subjects
and in turn are kept in mortal
dread by fear of harm from their
subjects.

NO FLAW IN THE TICKET.

NO FLAW IN THE TICKET.
A perusal Of the Democratic and
Populist papers of North Dakota
reveals that they are not in love
with the Republican state ticket.
In fact they appear to- be very
much down on it,, and are telling
Republicans that they should turn
in and help. defeat it.
Now what do these meddling
fault finders say is the matter with
the Republican ticket? Do they
point out any particular defect in
the nominee for congress, in the
nominee for state superintendent,
or in the nominees for the other
Offices? Not at all. There is not
a man on the ticket who is not a
good Republican and a representa-
tive citizen.
What, then, is thegreat criticism
which these Democratic and Pop
ulist editors bring against the Re-
publican ticket? Why that the
men composing it were nominated
in opposition to other men who
deserved to have been candidates.
Well suppose that to be true, does
it initiate against the character or
ability of the men chosen? Not
at all. And what business of the
Democratic and Populist editors
is it anyway? Why do they want
to NEEDLE with affairs which con-
Germ Republicans only and with
which the Republicans of the state
are in every way competent to
deal?
The Republican state ticket is
all right. Republicans themselves
are satisfied with it and intend to
support and electit. If there are
any party differences that need
settling they will attend to them,
too, in due time, SO hat it is Alto
gether unnecessary for our friends
the enemy to exhibit concern.
The Democrats and Populists have
enough to do to mind their own
business. They are a disgruntled
and carping lot at best. Neither
party has any confidence in the
Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1900-08-10

ment of the Democratic party is
becoming doubly offended and
those who do not come out openly
against the ticket are preparing
silently to support the Republi-
cans in their effort to hold the
country to the level of prosperity
and influence in the world to
which it has risen under Republi-
can management.
These indications all point to
the reelection of the Republican
ticket by even an increased popu.
lar majority, whatever my be the
effect on the electoral college.
With proper effort on the part Of
every Republican we can hold
what we have and gain more.
The Plaindealer publishes a
letter from Captain Morgan, ser
wing in the Philippines. Among
other interesting things the cap
tain writes this: II believe they
(the Filipinos) would quit but
their leaders tell them we would
murder them if they surrender
and then lie to them by telling
them of what wonderful victories
the Filipinos are gaining in other
islands-the leaders don't want to
lose their jobs and besides they
think if Mckinley is defeated they
will get all they ask for" There
it is again-more evidence that
the attitude of Bryan and his fell
low anti-imperialism shouters is a
source of encouragement to the
rebels in the Philippines and a
means of needlessly prolonging
the war. Wonder how the Plain.
dealer came to publish that, any
how?
