The Old-Man-in-Love-W Mouth is
the worst afflction that befalls most
towns in March, says the Lewiston Jour
nal. There are old dodgers who positive

squelched on one topic they will bob up
and talk about something else. When
they attempt to advocate thing the town
win frequently step in and kill the meas
ure just because of their impatience with
the old bore.
In one Maine town the Old Man Terri
BILE thought that at last he had a clear
field, when his son, a young lawyer, was
elected moderator of the meeting. At the
first opportunity the old man arose, made
elaborate preparations for a speech, and
started in. The son told him at the end
of five minutes that the voters couldn't
waste any more time discussing the mat

ours, or by the great Jeehookibus, I'll

And by this time the voters were really
enjoying themselves.
But Mister Moderator was in a tight
place between filial duty and his personal
reputation.

More About Cecil Rhodes.

A resident of Vryburg South Africa,
now temporarily residing in Antwerp, ac-
cording TO the Chicago Record, gives the
following interesting opinions as to Cecil
Rhodes: Rhodes" he says, lis one Of
those men of whom much is said, but who
Is very little known. Believe me, he has
always been a friend of the real Beers
He was sent to the Cape Parliament
elected by the Boer party; he was leader
of a Boer Cabinet and voted several laws
in favor of the Beers. But he is ambi-
tiOus He has but one dream. one ideal,
and that is to unite all South Africa I'M

aged by certain factions in the Transvaal.
is, of course, an obstacle to the realiZa-
ton Of this ideal so that Rhodes would
have 1t that the Transvaal should be re-
duced to submission. He is of peculiar
type. He is unaffected and affable. an
excellent speaker and of the most extra
ordinary daring.
I'm 1884 Transvaaer named Van
Nieuwkerk, commanding corps of invad-
ers, entered Bechuanaland, occupied a
part of the territory and founded the re-
public of Stellaland Rhodes asked toi
troops from the Cape Government to get
the Beers out, but he could not get salts

of Van Nieuwkerk, where he remained
he did, but the fact remains that the
Beers retired peacefully. and Rhodes be-
came the godfather of Van Nieuwkerk' $
grandson. once the Kaff1rs of Matabele-
land revolted, and again Rhodes went
alone into the mountains among thous-
ands of armed rebels. He talked with
them and showed them his courage, with
the result that they laid down their arms
without drop of blood being shed.
"Rhodes's influence in South Africa Is
simply colossal, and many are the legends
told about him, for many of the ignorant
believe him to be endowed with super
human powers. The Kaffirs call him the
white father Many Boer orators have
said to their people that when Rhodes is
master he will lock up all the Beers in
the cattle pens" Such description of
Rhodes, coming from Dutchman, is re.
markabie, for if ever man was disiiked
by the people of Holland that man is Cecil
Rhodes.

Diseases
AS DREADFUL As ITSELF.
rs DREADFUL As ITSELF.

Few people properly estimate the dread
full consequences of a neglected case of
La Grippe. Aside from the immense NOR
tally attributed to the disease, there 10
vast silent army of poor men and women
who remain invalds for life after an at
tack of Grip.
1t is estimated that since ats first APP
pearance Grip has claimed more victims
than all other epidemic diseases combined
Cholera, Smallpox, Yellow Fever, Diph-
iberia, Scarlet Fever the Black Plague
and Bubonic Plague together have not
wrought such awful havoc as Grip.
1t is a disease that has no alarming
symptoms; none of the dreadful nantes
tations that accompany other fatal dis
eases attend it. Quietly, and almost be-
fore you are aware, 1t has undermined
your health. Those that survive It often
remain invalids for life.
1t is a disease that uncovers every weak
spot in the human body. And it is in this
way that it does most harm. Troubles that
might have remained dormant for years or
that might never have manifested them
selves, suddenly appear and threaten our
very existence.
Many a man who dies of Consumption,
Heart Trouble or Kidney Trouble, might
have lived to a ripe old age but for an at
tack of Grip. This terrible disease uncov-
cred the weak spot, exposed the victim
just at time when vitality was reduced
to low ebb and found the victim with
out strength to battle against combi-
nation of diseases.
Don't neglect an attack of Grip. Don't
be unmindfuI of 1t because 1t has no
alarming symptoms. 1t will do its work
as surely as you neglect it.
What is the remedy for the trouble?
Quinine is more extensively employed than
anything else that doctors use. But 1t does
not cure.
All other remedies that they use are
merely palliative measures
BUT THERE IS A CURE. Johnsons
Chill and Fever Tonic will do more for
case of Grip in "a hours than quinine can
do in 10 days. 1t will begin it's work at
once. Within an hour it will enter the
blood and begin to neutralize the effect of
the Grip germs that consume the life.
Use nothing but Johnsons Tonic. Use
1t in large doses and repeat them often. In
SO out of every 100 cases it will conduct the
patient safely by the danger point within
"A hours. In every case, if large doses are
given and frequently repeated, it will
make a perfect cure.
What difference between those who
use Johnson's Tonic and those who use
quinine The former are cured quickly
and soundly. They arise from their sick
beds with life and vigor renewed. Those
who take quinine and depend solely upon
it, often recover TO drag along a miserable
existence, the permanent victim of a dis
ease whose i'll effects reach into many flu
ture years.
Use Johnson's Tonic for Grip and use
nothing else. Nothing else is needed.
Nothing else will do any good. Therefore
use Johnson's Tonic and use 1t literally.
There is nothing in Johnson's Tonic that
can possibly harm the most delicately or
gained person. Hence use it literally and
a cure will follow every time.

TAYLOR STILL LooKING roR HEI.p

Col Taylor of Kentucky and his adj
visers are still seeking a way to get the
general government involved in his trou-
bles. He seems to think that if he can
in some way get the President to recog-
nlze him as Governor his case will be
won.
1t is natural of course that he should
seek in every possible way to hold on to
the Office he claims, but it is very doubtful
if the President will permit himself TO be
drawn into the unfortunate Kentucky dis
pute, particularly on the eve of a presi-
Dental contest.
There is no chance for Col. Taylor to
retain possession of the Office The law
is clear that the Legislature has the
power to decide as to who were elected
Governor and Lieutenant Governor and
that body has rendered its decision. The
courts will uphold that decision. There
does not seem to be any good reason to
doubt that. 1t would not be of any benefit
to Col. Taylor for the President to send
troops for his protection, and thus recog-
nze him for a little time as the states
chief executive. Unless there were rea-
sons for thinking the courts would upset
the action of the Legislature it would be
the greatest folly for the President to in
terfere and it would be mistake. in all
probability, for him TO interfere. under
the existing circumstances. even if there
were probability of the courts render
ing a decision favorable to Col Taylor.
The thing for Col. Taylor to do is to
retire from the contest. BY holding on
he is only getting deeper in the mire Of
trouble.

PAUPERIzING PORTO RICO.

Politics is responsible for many strange
things. One of them is the 100000 appro-
priation for the benefit of the Porto Ri
cans. to be expended under the direction
of the President This money was collect
ed under our tariff laws on Porto Rlcan
products.
The Republicans had no intention of
giving this money to the Porto R,cans I'M
til they found that public sentiment was
against taxing the products of the Porto
Ricans sent to our markets. They saw
they had done something of which the
country did not approve. For political
reasons therefore they took this large
amount Of money out of the treasury and
ordered it to be used for the benefit of
the Porto Ricans. 1t is not certain yet that
it belonged to the government. The i'm
porters have entered suit to recover it.
But the point we wish to make is that
The Porto Ricans did not ask for this
money. They have asked and are still
asking for justice, not charity. We refuse
to give them justice, because to do so
might injure the Republican party, but
we give them charity in abundance, which
is pauperizing them-that is, those of
them who are laborers. These laborers
will not work as long as they can get ra-
tions from the government. And this pau
perizing is being done to help get the Re
publican party out of a very unpleasant
political position. Is it at all strange that
the country is getting tired. CT that party?

LOCAL OPTION AND THE COM
MITTEE. II

The State Executive Committee of the
Democratic party could hardly have dors
otherwise than it did in respect to the
request of the Prohbitonists to have the
question of prohibiting the sale of intox-
icating beverages in the state submitted
to the voters al the primaries. Local
option has been the party's policy for
years, and it is probable that it will al
here to II until a state convention changes
il. 1t is not within the power of the COM
mittee to take steps to change the settled
policy of the party on any important
question
There is no doubt very strong sent
ment throughout the state in favor of a
general prohibition law, but 1t is not
strong enough in the cities to insure the
enforcement of such a law If 1t were to
be enacted The reason the cities are so
strongly opposed 20 1t, is that they are
sure that a prohibition law would be the
source of endless trouble to them, ana
that It would not accomplished the object
aimed at.
The prohibition counties thnk that II
there were q general prohibition law no
liquor would find its way to them. They
are mistaken 1t is just as easy for those
in prohibition counties who want liquor
to get it from New York as from any one
of the cities of the state A general pro-
hibition law therefore would injure the
cities and larger towns without benefitting
the prohibition counties.
It is probable that the agitation OF the
prohibition question will be continued in
the Legislature, but unless 1t can be shown
that a prohibition law would prohibit. il
is very doubtful IL 1t will be possible to
get a Legislature that will enact a law of
that kind. Experience is against pro-
