A HINT FOR SPRING,
When Housekcepers Are Frightening
the Interiors of Their Homes.

Now that the backbone of this remarkable
winter is broken, housekeepers are remark
ing the dinlgy look Of the home interior; The
question of new wall coverings is up. Paper
is dear and short lived; kalsomines are dirty
and scaly; paint is costly. The use of such
a cement as Alabastine, for instance, will
solve the problem. This admirable wall
coating is clean, pure and wholesome. It
can be put on with no trouble by anyone;
there is choice of many beautiful tints; and
it is long lasting.

Every once in awhile we have per-
feet hemorrhages of righteous indig-
nation upon t b
subject OF divorce"
on "i''re writes Edward Box,
of "The Ease With Which We Marry"
in the Ladies' Home Journal. eve say
divorce must stop, or that there must
be no divorce. But wouldn't it be
bit better if we let this subject alone
for awhile and concerned ourselves
The fact of the matter is that there
is notion, which is altogether wrong,
that divorce is easy in this country.
Divorce is not easy. l am far from
saying that our divorce laws are what
they should be. But it is a senseless
thing to make those divorce laws more
stringent while we allow our mar
riage laws to be as loose as they are.
Let those who cannot see any farther
than the revision of present divorce
laws ask themselves this question: Is
it fair to allow foolish, inexperienced
girls to be led into what they believe
to be a fairy-palace, and then, when
they find it to be a prison-yes and
worse, positive suburb to the internal
regions--to refuse to let them out, if
they can get out? Is that merciful? =?
Is that just? Would we not come
closer to the common sense of this
whole question if, before we go any
further in this campaign against di-
vorce, we turn back and tighten the
door which leads to it? Divorce is not
so easy but that we can afford to leave it
precisely where it is for the time be.
ing. 1t isn't particle easier than it
should be, so long as we allow mar
riage to be as loose as it is"

PROSPERITY INCREASING.
Under Republican Rule the Financial
Condition of the Country Goes
on Improving.

Those are very interesting figures
and full of suggestion contained IN the
''circulation statement" just issued by
the treasury department. They point
to the signboard of these republican
times of industrial progression where
on is emblazoned in bold characters
prosperity" and that, too, with an
exceedingly large "P." 1t is interest
ing to make casual comparison of the
present condition of the country and
that of the democratic years that pre-
ceded the Inauguration of this repub-
lican administration, and coincldental-
lv of business revival and industrial
awakening. 1t is also a most crafty
ing retrospect On all sides evidence of
prosperous times is abundantly mani
fest and constantly multiplies.
For three years the country has been
steadily and upon an ever increasing
scale enlarging its commerce and eX-
panding its industries. With the in
coming of the republican administra-
ton came confidence. With confidence
capital came out of hiding, mills start
ed up. manufacturers awakened, idle
labor found employment and prosper
ity ceased to be a promise and became
an accomplished fact. Preceding this
period there had been four years of
democratic mismanagement, legisla-
tive pickering and incompetent inter-
ference with industrial principles, in
consequence of which confidence had
been destroyed, capital driven into
hiding, business stagnated and labor
forced into idleness and want. The
comparative pictures are familiar to
all No mans memory is so short that
it cannot easily comprehend eight
years.
The lesson of these eight years is the
lesson of history. Republicanism
stands for prosperity, democracy for
disaster. And while democracy of the
old kind was bad enough, that of the
new school is far worse. Organism is
bane that no party can bear and live;
that no country will fasten upon the
administration of national affairs

Of pure wantonness; which kicks in sea-
son and out of season, at everything or
at nothing as the case may be. The
term kicker scarcely needs definition.
We know exactly what it means, as
we'll as we know the chronic fault-fnder
it designates.
THE RISE OF THE KICKER.
ANY one who cares to trace the rise of
the kicker will find that he keeps pace
with the prevalent American disease,
dyspepsia. All kickers may not be
dyspeptics, but all dyspeptics are surely
kickers. They are everlasting fault
finders. Nothing goes right for them
in the family or in business. There is
always dead fly IN their ointment. 1t
is a miserable condition for the dyspep-
tic and his friends. He really can't help
himself. His nerves are strained to the
limit of endurance. His ears are like
megaphones magnifying every little
sound to the shock of thunder. His
eyes lose sense of perspective and he
sees mole-hills as mountains. He IS
suspicious, jealous, unreasonable and
obstinate; and all these things are only
symptoms of the disease which is starv-
ing and weakening the entire nervous
system and reaching out toward heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs.
WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR H1Ml
What can be done for the victim of
dyspepsiaf
He can be cured. He can be given a
new start in life. He can be made the
amiable, companionable man he was of
old. He can once more eat with ap-
petite and enjoyment, work with energy,
and sleep the night through in sound,
dreamless slumber.
This is not a mere empty claim I'M
supported by facts. The statement that
the dyspeptic can be cured is made on
the authority of thousands of men and
women, who have been entirely cured

A Dimculty with Nicaragua.
AS an incident Of the brief revolution In
the Mosquito district of Nicaragua, early
In 1899 the insurgents forcibly collected
from American merchants duties upon i'm
ports. On the restoration of order the
Nicaraguan authorities demanded sec
ond payment of such duties on the ground
that they were due to the titular govern
ment, and that their diversion had aided
the revolt.
This position was not accepted by us.
After prolonged discussion compromise
was effected under. which the amount OF
the second payments was deposited with
the British consul at San Juan Del Norte
in trust until the two governments should
determine whether the first payments had
been under compulsion to de facto au-
thority. Agreement as to this was not
reached, and the point was waived by the
questing the British consul to return the
deposits to the merchants,

word proves that there was real need
for it that certain class of people had
no word in the English language to

kickers must be as modern as the word
which describes them. They are in eff

Good will prevails in our relations with
the German empire. An amieable ADJUST
ment OF the long pending question of the
admission of our life insurance compan-
les to do business in Prussia has been
reached. One of the principal companies
has already been readmitted and the way
is opened for the others to share the
privilege.
The settlement OF the Samoan problem,
to which L adverted In my last message,
has accomplished good results. Peace
and contentment prevail in the Islands,
especially in Tutuila, where a convenient
administration that has won the conf
natives has been organized under the di-
rection OF the commander OF the United
States naval station at Pago-Pago.
An imperial meat inspection law has
been enacted for Germany. While IL may
simplify the inspection, II prohibits GER
tain products heretofore admitted There
Is still great uncertainty as to whether
our well-nigh extinguished German trade
In meat products can revive under its
new burdens. Much will depend upon
regulations not yet promulgated, which
we confidently hope wall be free from
the determinations which attended the
enforcement of the old statutes.
