The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1900-03-22

Thousands Of the best and most in
telligent citizens Of the United States,
as well as of Belgium and other coun-
tries, have petitioned President Nc
Kinley asking him to offer his services
toward mediation in the war between
the Beers and the English. They have
made the mistake Of addressing the
wrong man. Hanna is the man who
paid off McKinley's debts few years
ago, and he keeps a tight hold on the
string attached to the ring in the pres
idents nose. Marcus Is the man to
consult on all these matters, for he is
but clay in the hands Of the potter
Hanna.

The first volume of the Philippine
commissions report makes book of
264 pages and contains great deal
that the commission doesn't know
about the Filipinos. The report Is
signed by Professor Schurman, Admi-
raj Dewey, Colonel DENLY and Profess
sor Worcester This volume deals
largely with the kind of government
that the commission thinks we should
establish over the Filipinos, while the
volume to follow will treat of the re-
sources of the islands, or in other
words offer an apology for our taking
them by conquest. The commissioners
refer to Great Britain as an example
worthy to follow, and says that she
has been brilliantly successful in gov
erning dependent peoples. The com
missioners after this outburst OF Eng
lish sentiment might be expected to
express their sincere regret that our
forefathers in 1776 were so crlmlnally
foolish as to shake off English rule
and ask to govern themselves, just as
the Filipinos are asking or us today.
Our imperialistic friends declare that
the Filipinos are not capable or SELF
government, but SO did England de-
clare of us in 1776. The commission
does not refer to the millions of Eng
lish subjects who are starving in Brit
Ish India, but 1t does recommend that
we violate the constitution by impos-
Ing a tariff on the Filipinos' products
after we have forced them under our
dominion. Schurman was not an i'm
perialist until he was bribed by being
sent to the Philippines as the head OF
che commission.

According to the Erie Times the
Jarecki Manufacturing company a few
days ago declared dividend Of % per
cent on capital stock of $1,000, 900,
three-fourths of which is water. Hence
a dividend Of S250,O0O was declared on
an investment of s250,O0O, or a profit Of
100 per cent in one year. This is an
other good illustration Of the benefi-
cent results OF a protective tariff, and
will be published as an evidence of
prosperity. 1t is not necessary to argue
with any man Of sense that no true
prosperity exists where some men are
making 100 per cent and others just
as good and just as willing to work
having trouble to earn the bare neces-
saries of life.

II the Democrats Of Pennsylvania do
their duty in selecting candidates for
the next legislature they will receive
the support of thousands of Republic
cans who are determined that Quay
rule in the Keystone state shall cease
In order to deserve this support Dem
ocrats must select men whose charac-
ter and intelligence entitle them to re-
spect. 1t will not do to put anti-Quay
Republicans in the position of having
to choose between a Quay Republican
and doubtful Democrat. Quay root
ers are already at work in some Sec
tions of the state to have Democrats
nominated who will be weak before
the people.

Official white washing comes dear in
this country when on an extensive
scale. 1t appears from response Of
Secretary Gage to a resolution of con-
gress in regard to the expenditure Of
the S50000,000 war fund that It cost
the United States s105,144 to white
wash former Secretary Alger; and 1t
was poor job at that. OF this sum
s42,5O0 was expended as compensation
for the embalmed beef commission,
some of whose members were also in
the enjoyment of large salaries. Be-
sides this, $4,000 was expended for
their meals, to say nothing of several
odd thousands for cost of travel, Pull
man car accommodations, carriage
hire, etc. Although the full report Of
this luxurious commission, which was
printed by the government at a cost OF
s1S,S31, has never seen the light, the
commissioners were supplied with
fountain pens costing sl2 each in order
that they might make precise notes Of
testimony. AS Alger has recently pro-
nounced William J. Bryan curse to
the country" is he to be accepted as a
blessing?-Pittsburg Post.

CROPS ARE RUINED
 BY CONSTANT RAINS
Say Two Leading Birmingham Merchants Tales of Troubles from the
 Farms.

'The damage caused by the long-pro- tracted rainfall to crops in the immediate district of Birmingham is very great" said w. s. Brown, the merchant, who deals largely with farmers. Crops in low lands are practically destroyed. Corn has turn ed yellow, and cotton is over-run with grass. Joe Brown of Bethlehem, one of the best and most successful farmers of Jef- ferson County, says that at present he has only about eight acres of cotton free from grass, and that the effect of the rains is disastrious. Farmers from higher up the district say that their wheat is ruined. I never saw the farmers as blue as they are now. They are very greatly disheartened. Still there is time enough under favorable conditions for a fair cotton crop"
 MT. Brown is one of the largest dealers with farmers in the Birmingham district, and his sources of information concern ing the crops are of the best.
 So also it may be said of A. s. Wander grift, another large local dealer with farm CTS.
 Warmers are more discouraged than in any other year for a long while,' said MT. Vandergrift. "Cotton has attained good growth, but the grass is running it. The wet weather has filled the plant with wa ter, and when the weather clears a few days of dry heat will prove disastrous The prospects for a crop are exceedingly un- satisfactory

TWO LOCAL CASES
 THAT ARE DECIDED
Morris Against Inc EIyton Land Company and Lindsay Against a Loan
 Company

The meaning of the decision of the Su- preme Court in the case of Mrs. Susie Mar tin Morris against the Elyton Land Com pany, refusing a rehearing, is understood to be that the Birmingham Realty Com pany will have to satisfy the claims of Mrs. Morris, or the property of the com pany will have to be dealt with again by a receiver. Governor Jones /is expected in Birmingham tomorrow, and it will be dc te.- mined what course the company will pur- sue. Meantime all property owners con cerned are fully protected. The interest of nobody is really involved. It is merely matter of procedure. The Supreme Courts decision in the case of IL A. Lind say against the United States Savings and Loan Company has the effect of adding 5000 or $1, ,100 to the loss of Mrs. Lindsay. The amount claimed by the company was about S2,G00. The defendant set up a plea of not being a willing party to contract for usurious interest and further that no agreement was made for more than 6 per cent. The Chancellor overruled the plea and gave a decision for g, ,230 in favor of the company. From this decision the de- fendant appealed. The defendant is now taxed with interest as from the rendering of the decision and costs amounting to about $500.

He was taken to Talley and Chapman's in- firmary in Warner-Smiley's ambulance, where his bruises were dressed.

Keep the Sewerage system Open If Yoa Vant to Enjoy Many Years of Health and Hap

The liver is the biggest organ in the nu- man body, and has lots of work to do.
 It passes judgment on the food we eat sepa rating the useful from the useless All food must pass the liver. All food must go this one way, and if the liver is lazy and don't attend to it's duties all the other or ganS suffer.
 It is just like stopping the engine in a factory. All the rest of the machines are thrown out of work until it starts up again.
 Another duty of the liver is to take the bile out of the blood and send it into the bowels, where it acts as a sort of lubricant and helps the undigeSted matter out of the body.
 If the liver does not act properly, the bile goes wrong, remains in the blood, makes yellow-greensh complexion, liver spots,i and causes all kinds of aches, pains and sickness.
 The liver must be kept lively and attend ing to it's duties, and the safest, surest, simplest way is to use Cascarets Candy Cathartic, the ideal laxative, agreeable to the taste, convenient in form, 9ntiseptic, and fine stomach tonic. They purify the blood, never grip nor gripe, and do their work mildly but positively. Buy and try Cascarets today.
