w. G.. Leistikow has thrown the
Democracy, or part of it, in this
state into confusion by his recent
interview in Minneapolis. But
there should be no occasion for
surprise. There are hundreds of
Democrats in the state who feel
about the same way, and the mid
dle-of-the-road Democracy Of the
west might as we'll get used to
such little incidents. They will
be numerous before next Novem-

very large majority Of the people

policy Of the administration, and

next fall will be the proof of it

Talk
With Women

q If person is Ill and needs medi-
cine, is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test Of time and has hum
dreds of thousands of cures to its
credit? q
i A great many women who are i'll try
everything they hear Of in the way Of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is constant menACo
to their already impaired health. I
This seems to us very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years its record has been one un--
broken chain of success. No medi-
cine for female ills the world has ever
known has such record for cures.
+ It seems SO strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful;
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers Of the United States moro
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been published in the interest of
any other medicine. ..i:.s5s

women which is difficult to dislodge,
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, 'sNo, we want

noticed in the hubbub over the
tariff proposals, the senate bill is a
very different measure from that
which passed the house. It makes
decided concessions to the wide
spread public demand for free
trade, and in such terms as to
leave no room for doubt that it's
supporters we're as sincere in their
desire to do what was best for the
Puerto Ricans as were the Republi-
can free traders.
As result Of this there has
been growing moderation in the
tone Of criticism, a more general
recognition that what separated
the two factions was not a matter
of motive or principle, but one
simply of judgment as to which
system Of raising revenue would
most conduce to the welfare Of the
islanders. Had the house COM
mittee taken the public into it's
confidence before introducing its
bill, had it not by the apparent
inconsistencies Of its statements
encouraged the fear that the Is
per cent tariff was a betrayal of it's
trust for the benefit of certain in
dustries in this country, and finally
had more tact been displayed in
meeting the protests Of the press
and people, indignation would not
have run so high. The matter
could have been argued coolly and
the confidence of the country
that its desire to do all that it was
possible to do to benefit Puerto
Rico would not have been dis
turbed.
One by one its fears have been
laid in the grave. It realizes that
the sugar and tobacco trust bogies
and others were inventions of an
overwrought imagination, and that
those interests would welcome free
trade for the sake Of cheaper raw
material. It understands that the
house bill which levied a tariff of
Is per cent Of the Mckinley rates,
or an average advalorem rate of
only 6 per cent. was in no sense a
protective measure, but was on it's
face a mere revenue producing
device. Except for those who
believe in free trade on the theory
that the constitution extends of
it's own force to the islands there
was not much room left for argu-
ment save on the grounds of
expediency.
But even this margin has been
narrowed by the amendments in
corporated in the senate bill.
Where the house bill levied a
horizontal tariff Of Is per cent at
the ports of both island and main
land to continue for two years, the
senate bill levies its Is per cent
rate in full only on Puerto Rican
goods coming into the United
States, but exempts from duty at
Puerto Rican ports all foodstufs,
implements, school furniture,
books, medicines and other neces-
saries as under the executive order
now in force. and provides that as
soon as the Puerto Ricans shall
have devised their own revenue
system, they can have free trade
by notifying the president to that
effect. The sum and substance o1
this arrangement, if accepted by
the house, would be that the Puerto
Ricans would have $4,000 8
year from customs, for the most
part collected from sugar, molasses
rum and tobacco, would have al
| their necessaries at as low a cos
as under free trade, and would be
saved the vexation Of direc
revenue tax, which it appears
would be of doubtful expediency
| Furthermore, they would have the
right to terminate this arranpe

poets are still-yery young Scientific research
rather than poetic divination has been the con-
trolling force, with the result that the most val
liable additions to the literature of the year have
been contributions to the utilitarian knowledge
OF mankind. 1t should be recorded, moreover,
that the one literary exploit Of worldwide Signif-
canoe has been an entirely practical affair; we
refer TO NJ. Zola's magnificent work in the cause
of Captain Dreyfus, begun, 1t is true, in 1898,
but eliminating in the captive's liberation last

sometimes in twenty launched and apparently
successfully hoated Great strides have been
taken in the dissemination of classical literature
of one sort or another among the people. The
salient feature in the field of periodical litera-
ture has been the development of color printing.
American magazines have made extraordinary
advances in this direction, and it is probable
that In n short time color win be constant and
indispensable element in the printing of popular
magazines. In this matter America is almost
abreast of France to-day, and, in view of the
cheapness of our magazines and their vast cir
culation, it seems likely that we shall soon lead

A survey of the artistic events of 1890 takes
account of the usual exhibitions all over the

been the Van Dyke memorial celebration il

aration, the energies of the nation being wreaked
on the organization of the great exposition which
is TO be opened to the world next summer AT
Paris. Two important works have been accom-
plished in America, both in this city. The ex-
tensive mural decorations in the new Appellate
Court Building have recently been completed.
The National Arts Club has been established in
its permanent home uptown, and has already
demonstrated its usefulness in providing COM
mon meeting ground for artists and lovers of art
from all parts of the country. II is matter for
peculiar qualification that neither in the literary
