NEW SMALLPOX REMEDY.

A new cure for smallpox is now going
the rounds OF the press, and seems to
nave supplanted that old ~favorite, tar
taric acid and water, which has been
printed a thousand times. This latest
panacea is harmless to persons in alt
The Los Angeles Herald publishes it as
follows:
Sulphate Of zinc, one grain: foxglove
tdlgitaliS), one grain: half a teaspoonful
OF sugar; mix with two teaspoonfuls of
water. When the above has been thor
oughly mixed. add four ounces of water.
Take a teaspoonful every hour. The
disease will disappear in twelve hours.
For a child smaller doses according to
age. IF counties would compel physicians
to use this there would be no need OF
pesthouses. If you value life and expe-
renee, use this for that terrible and
dreaded disease.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER %. 1906
THE L A

The discussion over the canteen has
been renewed, the impetus coming this
time from speeches made at a banquet
in New York City, last Friday night.
when Major General Brooke. commander
OF the department of the east, and Rear
Admiral Barker, commanding the Brook
Ign navy yard, were among the speakers
AS the banquet was given by the In
ternational Committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association. Gen. Brooke
gave the distinguished company a slight
surprise when he said:
This association has done a great
work in the army. l have seen the bene-
fits that have come to the men through
its efforts. During the Spanish war your
association did a great work in Cuba, and
great benefits have also come from it's
work in Porto Rico and the Philippines.
One of your secretaries condemns our
canteen. We in the army do not call it
that. We call it a post exchange, with
a canteen annex. When you can give
us something that will take it's place
We will be glad TO have it. The post ex-
change has done a great deal of good to
the men of the army; it has drawn them
away from those neal the posts, and in
every way benefited them morally and
physically. I say it with forty-two years
of experience in the army"
Admiral Barker Immediately followed
Gen. Brooke, and continued the discus
sion of the canteen. He said that so far
as he knew. the Oregon, from the time
she was launched up to the present, had
never had a bottle of beer sold on ship
board. The canteen may do for the
army said the admiral, in closing. but
the canteen on board ship is an abomina-
ton. 1 was glad that the order abolish
ing the sale of liquor from shipboard
and the navy yard was issued by the
secretary. Capt. Folger. of the kear-
sarge, told me not long ago that as much
money can be made for the men by sell
ing pies as by selling beer"
Widely as these two views differ, there
may not be anything necessarily anti
thetical in them. Both Gen. Brooke and
Admiral Barker may be right. The cam
teen may be a good thing for the army
sist that it is. Sc far as the navy Is
concerned, Admiral Barker's declaration
for the pie is entitled to equal weight
And, anyhow, it isn't the first time the
army and navy have disagreed.

SPIRIT OF THE TWO PARTIES.

In this mornings Anaconda Standard
under the title of THE party of the Peo-
pie" an attempt is made to review and
criticize the Boston Herald's opinions
of the position and attitude of the demo-
cracy and incidentally add a few opin-
ions of its own.
The Standard says: ''The masses of
the democratic party may not under
stand the economic philosophy of the
money question very we'll. but they cer-
tainly understand it as we'll as do the
masses of the republican party, who
nave been swung into line mainly
through the influence Of the very classes
who were to be benefited. And whatever
may be the understanding of the subjesct
by democrats in general, their position
agrees with the best economic thought,
present or past, of both Europe and
America"
Then follows an upbraiding t the Bos-
ton Herald for not improving the intel-
ligence of the Party of the People" thus
rendering valuable service to the cause
of good government J
The Anaconda Standard. following the
example of the majority of democrattic
journals, rarely attempts to improve the
"intelligence" of the rank and file of the
democratic party which it chooses to
style 1.-The party of the people," When
the general intelligence of a democrat is
improved he usually ceases to be a DEM
ocrat and n the party that
thrives on ignorance, prejudice and class
hatred. 1t is not to the intelligence of
democracy that its leaders or its Jour-
nails appeal. Democratic leadership. in
attempting to obtain party advantage,
or the success of party organization at
the polls. is usually shrewd enough to
make a pretense of standing on a great
principle that cannot be questioned. and
proclaiming itself the champion OF the
people" and hat it is seeking the great
est good for the greatest number. But

PORTO RICO IS PROSPEROUS,

The reduction of the garrison, as di-
rected by President Mckinley, leaves tut
/ 800 troops on the island of Porto Rico,
and of these soldiers, nearly two-thirds
are natives. They constitute the Porto
Rican regiment, an organization that has
enjoyed an excellent reputation from the
start. The rest of the troops comprise
a battalion of American infantry and
two light batteries.
There is 10 longer any need for a large
force in Porto Rico, and the withdrawal
of the soldiers has been prompt. This is
very strong evidence of the loyalty of
the Porto Rieans, and of the satisfactory
conditions prevailing there.
Constitutional objections are urged
against the Porto Rico tariff, but what
ever else may he said, it ended tae un-
certainty that hung over the island, de.
| pressing business and causing general
unrest there. AS soon as that condition
was removed, the country responded and
trade has assumed splendid proportions.
To the happy conditions now prevailing.

ures that were at first looked upon with

THE MINES.

Park County Republican,: If there is
one thing more than another upon which
the people of Park county can congratu-
late themselves it is the fact that the
precious metal mining industry of our
country is o to take on a new lease
of life, and that the promise is madea and
the outlook excellent for unusual activ-
ity another season. In this connection it
may not be amiss to state that we are
aware that this has been the status of
things many times before, and that there
have before been failures of full fruition
of the promises, but the conditions here
tofore, political n otherwise, have new
er been as favorable as they are today;
therefore we may with confidence rea-
sonably expect better results in the neal
future.

THE MISSIONARIES IN CHINA.

Those who believe in foreign missions
find a strong supporter in Prof. William
Newton Clarke, author of "A Study of
Christian Missions" OF late there has
been much criticism of the missions in
, China, and in many quarters the real
responsibility for the recent uprising in
that country, with it's attendant hor-
rors, is placed Upon the missions.
Prof Clarke answers these charges, and
SAYS: "There has always been unfavor-
able criticism, and certainly it will con-
tinue. 1t has ]abounded since the troubles
In China began. for it has been conven-
lent to lay the wrath of the Chinese to
the charge of those who We're offering
them a new religion. But the accusation
will not live long-in fact. is already
meeting it's answer. All foreign elements
rave doubtless been offensive to the Chi
nese, hut to represent the quiet teachers
of religion as the real cause of the out
break, when the eXasperating agrees
sions of the western powers are known
by all men, is to bring an accusation
that must be short-lived. The world is
too intelligent to old it long"

tom. 1t generally proves fatal in the OPP

IOWA'S ASTONISHING MIDDLE.

The election in Iowa is followed by a
curious middle that has thrown one side
into confusion and filed the other with
transports of joy. A biennial election
amendment was adopted, abolishing
elections formerly held in odd numbered
years because of the needless expense in
volved. Is a result of this. there will be
no county or township elections in the
state in 1901, and in order to cover the
gap between hat year and 1902. a new
set of officers was chosen TO serve after
the expiration of the terms of the pres
ent incumbents.
1t turns out, however. that the intent
of this amendment is nullifed by It's
wording. inasmuch as it provides for an
extension of one year in the terms of
those officers whose terms of office would
otherwise expire in the year 1901" The
legislators who prepared the amendment
took it for granted, it would seem, that
the terms of 1.-The present incumbents''
would expire on Dec. 81 next, and the ex-
tension was intended to apply to their
successors. AS a matter of fact, how
ever, the present incumbents d. not go
out of office until the first Monday in
January of next year, instead of the last
day of the present year. The extension
of one year. therefore,, is clearly made to
apply to them instead of their successors.
The result of all thisi is sweeping enough,
for two thousand candidates who We're
Chosen at the recent election, find they
are not actually elected at all. Conster-
nation reigns among the ranks of the
officers elect and their friends, while joy
unconfned pervades the army of the
"ins.' No single election error has ever
before knocked out or kept in so many
officials of any one state.
The amendment is so clearly worded
tina it can hardly be taken otherwise
than literally, and if SO, it will extend
the official life of the chs two years
leaving the ''outs' where they now are
in the cold. AS an example of muddles
it is interesting and unique, but it viii
also prove an expensive one. What hal
caused general surprise throughout the
country is the fact that the error shoulG
have remained undiscovered until TIT
mischief was done. The members of the
legislature, lawyers, editors and voter:
of all lowe simultaneously failed to ex
anime the amendment word by word
and considering the Importance of tht
measure, this fact is nothing short of as
