MOST people think that catarrh is a
wi disease confined to the head and nose.
AVA Nothing is farther from the truth. It
may be that the nose and throat is the oft
so only because these parts are more ex-
posed to the vicssitudes of the climate than
the other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity Of
the human body is liable to catarrh. A null
titude Of ailments depend on catarrh. This
is true winter and summer. Catarrh causes
many cases of chronic disease, where the
victim has not the slightest suspicion that
catarrh has anything to do with it..

spending most of the time in consider
ing two bills. The one most con-
sidered was a bill allowing telegraph
and telephone companies to erect
poles and string wires. AS origi-
nally provided the bill allowed COM
panies to erect their poles and wires
without the consent of township au-
thorities- The bill was finally amend
ed so that if it passes it will simply
cucumber the statutes with a law
which gives no more power to tele-
graph and telephone companies than
they now possess
The other bill was one allowing ex-
Secretary of State Berg's county of
Roseau to fund its indebtedness. This
Indebtedness was incurred, Mr.. Berg
explained. by the prosecution of Grim
inals for murder and if it applied only
to that county would undoubtedly
pass, but the house hesitated about
making such a bill applicable all over
the state, as the constitution requires
if Roseau county is to secure its relief.
It was accordingly held up for future
consideration.
One of the bills introduced imposes
fines ranging from $25 to 100 for adul-
terating white lead and mixed paints.
Both houses are greatly torn up over
the effort to redistrict the state, maxi

republican districts, but as there are

President Of the Twentieth Century" FOR

York World tomorrow, ex-P:esident
Cleveland refers to the Presidential ten
ure in these terms:
Thoughtful citizens will more and
more appreciate the objections urged
against the present indirect and cumber-
some mode Of electing their Presidents
The circumstances in which this. plan
originated, if ever OF controlling import
ance, ought no longer to excuse such
battling confusion of ideas as grows out
OF the proposition that in popular gov
eminent the peoples chief officer and
their most direct representative may be
made the recipient of their trust and the
depository of their power in fragrant OPP
position TO the declared popular Will.
Strong arguments are from time to
time urged in favor of change in the
tenure of the Presidential office. These
should challenge serious attention, to the
end that the present constitutional limit
may be removed and more reasonable
been continual increase in Federal
legislation of peremptory character and
related to the Immediate and routine
necessities of the country. and so it has
come to pass that of the four sessions of
Congress held during a Presidential term
two are SO brief to scarcely permit the
passage of necessary appropriation bills
while of the others one occurs when the
President is usually strange IN his new
office and burdened with opportunities
and labcrs inseparable from a change Of
administration, and the remaining one
encounters during its continuance the
Interruptions. timidity and decentralization
of q Presidential and Congressional can
vass. These conditions suggest the scant
opportunity allowed for the initiation and
adoption Of new and important remedial
legislation during a single Presidential
term.
Another argument of considerable
weight in favor of the change is based
upon the complaint that the business and
other important interests Of our people
are now too frequently disturbed and
disquieted by the turmoil and heat of a
Presidential election. 1t is not amiss to
add that substantial extension of the
executive tenure would pave the way for
establishing the ineligiblity Of an incum-
bent to succeed himself-Which has long
found favor with a large class of people
az a contamination much to be desired.
THUS American citizens in the TWEEN
tieth century will be charged with the
duty of securing for themselves the actual
substance of popular rule by establishing
a more direct mode of selecting the pco-
pies Chief Executive in strict accordance
with the peoples WILL and by so extending

TIE QUESTION OF SUFFRAGE.
More Conservative Element in Cuba Against
Making it Universal.
fBv the Associated Press. }


Havana. Dec. 29.-The Constitutional
Canyention has not been in session
for several weeks. but the different
sections thereof. are buSily al work
considering various clauses OF the
plans which have been offered by Sen
ors Rivera. Quesada and Maura, from
which il is hoped and expected Il con-
sttution will be wrought.
The chief bones Of contention are
suffrage and the Presidency. For the
former there are various propositions.
although it is not possible from the
outside TO gather all the phases OF
the topic. In the main II * boILed
down to decision as to whether SUI
fraee shall be universal or not. \
strong contention is being made by the
more conservative element TO base il
upon an educational and property
qualification basis But the more
rabid element in the convention. led by
Juan Gualberto Gomez. a negro. sup
ported by General Aleman. General
Lacret, Jose F. Montegndo and two
or three of the delegates from the
Eastern part of the island. is pressing
hard for universal citizenship. The
radical Republican element favorS
this provision. while the Cuban Ma
tionals. heretofore the extremely rad
zeal element. rather lean toward re-
stricted suffrage. Theblacks of the
island are so nearly one half Of the
entire population that when the Span
iards by reserved citizenship with the
mother country. the Americans. the
English. the Germans and the French,

are counted out. they. the negroes. will

What the outcome will be seems
not difficult to determine. The Unit

quarters here. can hardly accept uni
versal suffrage clause. Consequently
as it would be particularly hazardous
to grant this island a government
which might at some time be domi-
mated by the blacks and thus make
Haiti or Santo Domingo of it. it
is hardly drought Of.
In the matter of the Presidency the
two Comes have reconciled their diff
ferences and are pulling together in
the effort to prevent the constitution

WAR AGAINST THE MOSQUITO.
Recognized by the Government as a Trans
mitter Of Fevers
(By the Associated Pressl

Washington, Dec 29.-The United
States Government has formally recog-
nized the responsibility of the mosquito
ior the transmission OF yellow fever aad
nalarial diseases. This fact is indicated
Dy the issuance Of a general order by
Major General Wood al Havana directed
to his post commanders reciting that the
chief surgeon of the department of Cuba
lished that malaria. yellow fever. and
malarial Infection are transmitted by the
bites Of mosquitoes. Therefore the troops
are enjoined to observe carefully two
precautions. First, they are TO use mos
quito bars in all barracks hospitals and
field service whenever practicable; sec
end, they are to destroy the ''wigglers'
or young mosquitoes by the use of pc
troleum on the waters where they breed.
Permanent pools or puddles are to be
filled up. To the others are to be applied
one ounce of kerosene to each fifteen
square feet of water twice q month which
will destroy not only the young but the
old mosquitoes. This does not injure
drinking water if drawn from below and
not dipped out. Protection is thus
cured, according to the order because
the mosquito does not fly far; seeks shell
ter when the wind blows and thus each
community breeds it's own mosquitoes.
