In reporting bill which authorizes the
erection of Notifications on the proposed
Nicaragua Canal the House Committee on
Commerce has assumed that the jurisdic-
ton of Congress extends to the ends of the
earth. Fortifying and garrisoning places
are acts of sovereignty, and authority to so
proceed can be given only 10y the State in
whose terrific y the places TO be thus guard
ed are located Congress has no more
right to direct the fertilization Of the en-
trace to a shipway through Nicaragua than
it would have to direct the emplacement
of guns on the Straits of Gibraltar or the
Dardaneles. That right could be obtained
only by conquest or by treaty. We are
not going to make war on Nicaragua, nor
is that Republic likely to abnegate sover.
eighty over any part Of her territory.
Under the circumstance the provision o
the bill respecting Notifications must be
regarded as mere buncombe.

We have saved many doctor bills since
We began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in our home. We keep bottle
open all tie time and whenever any of
my family or myself begin to catch cold
we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and
as result we never have to send away
for doctor and incur a large doctor bill,
for Chamberlain Cough Remedy never
fails to cure. 1t is certainly medicine of

A Fiendish Attack.

An attack was lately made on G. F. Col
lier, of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly proved
fatal. 1t came through his kidneys. His
back got so lame he could not stoop with
out great pain, nor sit in a chair except
propped by cushions. No remedy helped
him until he tried Electric Bitters which
effected such wonderful change that he
writes he feels like new man. This mar
velous medicine cures backache and kid
ney trouble, purifies the blood and builds
up your health. Only SOC at JOHN E..

A registration census of Cecil county,
Maryland, was recently made for the pur
pose of showing how the educational
qualification for voting would effect that
county. 1t was found that the total num-
Der of registered voters ia Cecil county
is 69O9. Of that number 996 are litter
ates, 427 are white and 500 colored. In
Virginia, where the Democrats are trying
to introduce an educational qualification
the proportion of illiterate whites will be
larger than in Cecil county, Maryland.

No matter what excuses the Democratic
leaders in Virginia may offer for holding
constitutional convention, the main object
is to restrict suffrage and disfranchise the
illiterate voters. Their purpose, OF course,
is to remove the necessity for stealing or
buying the ignorant voters. They wish to
be relieved of the expense Of buying and
the frequent exposures which are being
made of their auduent methods.

THERE is deep and growing disgust
among the less partisan and intelligent
Democrats of the South for Mr. Bryan.
They do not approve of bis views on ex.
pansion, and doubt bis sincerity on the
money question. Very naturally they are
assonished that any man of sense will cor.
tinue to assert the doctrine of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. at the ratio of

Suppose Mr.. Bryan should be elected
President Of the United States, which is
not probable, what effect would it have

Great Britain ask this in view of his
recent, frequent expressions of sympathy
for the Beers and his declaration of the

LINCOLN AND PICKETT.
The Confederate General Owed His
Military Training to Uncle Abe.

Philadelphia Record.
A rather curious illustration of how a
man may rear up another to be his oppo-
nent in later life is afforded in the mem.
oirs of the Confederate General Pickett,
which have just been published under
the editorship of bis widow, says the BOs-
ton Transcript General Pickett. who led
the neyer.to- beforgotten charge at Get.
tysburg, and was, indeed, Glover of
chivalry" in peace as well as in war, was
the nephew of an early friend of AbTa.
ham Lincoln. The uncle was anxious to
procure an appointment for the brilliant
nephew TO the military academy, and
mentioned his desire TO Lincoln. The
latter, who was then a very young man,
had yet influence enough to interest
powerful politicians in the young Virgin
ian's behalf, and the cadetship was ob
tanned. For his protege Lincoln always
felt warm regard, evinced in letters
from which Mrs. Pickett gives some ex.
tracts. One letter which, if he recalled
it at all, must lave come back with
strange memories in after life. was adj
dressed to Cadet Pickett. soon after he
entered West Point. 1t was dated at
Springfield, February %, 1913. In it
Lincoln wrote to the future Confederate
general
- IL have just told the folk here in Spring
field on the one hundred and eleventh
anniversary of the birth of him whose
name, mightiest in the cause of civil lib |
erty, still mightiest in the cause. of moral |
we mention in solemn awe,
in naked, deatLless splendor, that the
one victory we can ever call complete
will be that one which proclaims that
there is not one slave or one drunkard on
the face of Gods green earth. Recruit
for this victory"
Not for this service, but for one directly
opposed to freeing the slave did Pickett
recruit. No one ever fought more siren
uously against Abraham Lincoln, the
emancipation, than did General Pickett,
aud yet as both were men of principle,
we are prepared to believe that neither
ever wholly lost the affection for the
other.

The changes from the vote of 1898 to

voted for the Teller silver resolution
who now vote for the gold reform bill.
They are -
Carter Pritchard

Not one man who voted for gold in
1898 voted for silver in 1900.
So there's an end of silverism. All
there is to do now is TO carry out the

Bethany, Mo-, Oct. 17.-Editor
MESSAGE: Hon. John a. Lee,
our next Lieutenant Governor, adj
dressed the people of Bethany last
night. He made fine effort,
from my point of view. He paid
his respects first to national af-
fairs, and took occasion to tell the
people that Mr.. W. J. Bryan
would be the next president of the
United States. Thought that may
be they had not heard it, and he
would tell them now so they would
not be surprised when they got
the news from headquarters.
He emphasized the fact that
imperialism is the paramount issue
today in this campaign, but he
was careful to say that silver had
not been given up by any means.
He pointed to Greece, also to Rome
and other countries, where once
they enjoyed and boosted of their
republics, but where are they to-
day7 Long since passed away.
He held up these republics and
their downfall as Il warning to the
people of this country.
He then turned attention to
home affairs. He discussed State
affairs candidly and fairly and in "A
way that | think ought to have
opened the eyes of the people. lie
gave special attention to one Dick
Dalton. | am persuaded he show
ed Dick up, | think, just about
right. guess Dick feels sore ov-
er some things that have taken
place in the past; but, poor fellow,
he has baked his cake. Democrats
have dropped him entirely, or
ought to, and of course the Repub-
licans care nothing for him, there
fore he is politically dead, dead.
And when we get done with the
Republicans they will be dead,
and then they can bury Dick, and
it will be according to the book,
Wet the dead bury the dead
The people listened closely to
the speaker from the beginning to
the enc. Some got Il little restless
and Il few got their little cups full
and went out; but the large ma
jority stayed to the last. Demo
Gratis were animated and chccred
the speaker. There are not many
of the faithful up here, but the
few are loyal to the cause.

ic day here. Can't you come up?

America Not for This Child.

New York, Oct. 15.-S. M.
Mulne, a Philadelphia shoemaker,
sent to Russia for his wife and
five children. They arrived ut
Ellis Island several days ago and
were detained because one of the
children, n girl 8 years old, was
an imbecile. The law prohibits,
absolutely, the admttance of an
insane person or an idiot to this
country. a brother of the woman
saw the assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr.. Taylor, and arrang-
ed that Mulne should take the idiot
child back to Russia, while Mrs.
Mulne and the four healthy child
rem should 20 with him to his
home in Youngstown, Ohio.
Assistant Secretary Taylor said
that under no circumstances could
the child be brought into this
country. If the father was able
to give bond to the amount of II
million dollars that the child
would be well taken care of and
that it would never become n pub
lie charge it would have no effect,
as the law makes no provision for

Grants Tomb by Moonlig mt.

There is no such place from which
to watch the full moon rising in the
east as the porch OF the Grant tomb
on Riverside drive. The rays stream
Ing from column to column invest the
memorial temple with a grandeur and
melancholy that seem more consonant
with the old world than with the new.
The great bulk OF the columns and
their severe simplicity give the place
the aspect OF the enduring. 1t needs,
as every one knows, the spire of a
venerable church, the battlements of
castle in ruins, or the pillars OF
some monument that recalls another
time to bring out the last touch OF
beauty in the phases OF the lesser light
that rules the night. Without abat-
ing ones loyalty for what has been
said about the Alhambra by moonlight
there is something worth the journey
to be seen in the tomb when the moon
at the full is rising.-New York Mail

Municipal Ownership.

Chicago, Oct. lS.-The Citizcp's
Street Railway Association of Chi
cago, which applied for Il State
charter about ten days ago, will
ask the City Council for Il blanket
ordinance, covering about 400
miles of streets now occupied by
the old traction companies.
The ordinance will contain Il
proviso that the association may
purchase from the existing trac-
ton companies the rails now in
the streets at rate not exceeding
$50, 900 per mile of single track.
On their refusal to sell, the see
Ond main provision of the ordi-
nance will be for the laying of
"duplicate rails or the parallel
ing of existing tracks on all main
thorofares of the city. Universal
transfers, Il fiat Scent fare and
municipal ownership, whenever
the city elects to retire the aSsocia-
tons bond issue of $4,000 per
mile, are the bids offered the nut
nicipality for the granting of this
blanket franchise.
The aim of the ordinance is to
establish municipal ownership of
all street railway properties as
soon as the city has legal authori-
ty and the necessary funds to ac-
quire the same on an actual cost
basis.
