!. why He Got Ten Days.

At an army fort near New York
there is a near-sighted captain who is
very sensitive about his sight. He
wears glasses of the very thickest
make.
In his company is a private who, ex-
cept for his sloven1iness, is one of
the best soldiers in the fort. He is an
Irishman, and, like all his country
men, quick at reply. His many good
qualities have saved. him from pun
ishment, but his tongue got him into
trouble the other day.
The company's arms and clothes
were being inspected. The captain
looked at the private's belt and said.
angrily:
...Your belts are always dirty. What
the deuce do you mean by it Pc
81 beg your pardon, SIR" was the
reply, ssbut think it hard that when
clean my things with the naked
eye they should be inspected with .
naAgnifying glass"
The private is now in the guard
house for ten days, and his leave to
visit the city has been suspended In
defnitely.-N. Y. Times.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

If President Roosevelt wanted
TO get on the right side of the south
he evidently went the wrong way
around in fraternizing with colored
Booker Washington at the white house
table.-Wheeling (W.. Va.) Register.
Those republicans who favor the
ship. subsidy bill should examine the
report of the commissioners of navi-
CATION, which says 500 vessels were
built in the United States during the
three months ended September 30.
The excuse for the steal that we. must
build up. with bounty, the merchant
marine is thus officially shown to be
nonsense.
The New York Sun and some of
the other plutocratic newspapers are
pretty well done up in their fight with
the Hearst papers-the New York
Journal, the Chicago American and
the San Francisco Examination they
have shown by the record that the
plutocratic and trust-controlled press
is responsible for anarchy if newspa-
per criticism brings Il about.
As rule republican journals ap-
pear to be much more interested in ex-
peulentS 1cr reducing the surplus Dy
expending the money In building ca
nails and in the payment Of subsidies
than in effecting the same object
through the repeal OF onerous taxes.
Il is to be feared that when congress
shall assemble like views may control
its action Money is power and pow
er is thing never readily surrendered,
either by individuals or psrties.-Phil-
adelphia Record

TRUST INTENTIONS.
The Overthrow of Labor Organize
tons and the Usurpation OF
Every Right.

It is evident that the trusts are IN
tent on the overthrow of organized Ia
Dor. The steel trust has virtually dis
organized the Amalgamated associa-
ton and will doubtless complete the
job at the next attempt. It. is an
nounced Officially. that the presi-
dents of the coal carrying roads of the
eastern states have refused to con-
slider any proposals for joint confer
ence with the officers of the coal min
ers' organization. The great coal
operators have decreed the death of
union labor as did the steel trust the
death of the Amalgamated associa-
ton. However, in doing this the trust
officials are cuttings from under. them
the main support to their fright" to
own the coal mines: and the steel fac
tories and the railroads Having had
demands which they consider just
turned down-havipg been refused
even a conference With. their employ
ers, what is more natural than that
these men should look for some other
method of getting, hearing?
After careful investigation of the
ways and means they viii learn les
son from the employer-thato of con-
trolling the law making and law en-
forcing bodies of the country. That
a majority shall rule is principle
which we admit theoretically as. right,
the employees are largelyin the ma or-
ity-hence they learn, and they are
being forced to learn that they have
the coveted power in their own
hands TO turn the machinery of gov
eminent to their own advantage; they
will do it. And in doing this there will
be no infringement of the rights of the
minority-there win be no privilege
or protection granted to. one class Of
citizens which Is denied to another, as
in the case to-day.

DIsAcREEING TARIFF DOCTORS
Not Feel So. kindly Toward
Reciprocity.

The Manufacturers association OF
Philadelphia has been so worked up
in its feelings about reciprocity and
tariff reform that it declares that,
while favoring reciprocity, 1T aban-
dons none OF. its protection views.
This, if it means anything, favors
both sides of. the question, for of
course there can be no reciprocal ar
'rangement made with any foreign
country relating to the tariff with
out both parties make some conces-
sion by reducmipg their respective
tariffs on commodities that they are
willing to admit for a lower rate, and
to that extent protection views have
to be abandoned. It is hardly to be
wondered that the manufacturers have
lost their. bearings and hardly know
where they are at on this subject.
The Protective league and the Home
Market club on the one side are ding
ing into their ears that to ease up
by ever so little on the present tariff
would be to abandon the whole the
DRY on which the wonderful and sci
entific tariff has been constructed and
would soon bring ruin on it's bene-
iciaries. The manufacturers and the
trusts evidently believe this, for they
donate literally to the league to car
ry on the fight for no change. On the
other hand, they are told by the
champions of reciprocity that their
| markets must be enlarged or they
| will not be able to dispose of their
surplus products, which, under the
stimulus of protection and the enor-
nous profits they are thus enabled to
| make in the home market, have rap
| idly grown beyond what our own peo-
pie can purchase If no market is
opened for their surplus in foreign
| lands, production must. be reduced to
| the home market level. AS both OF
| these schools of political economists
promise just the ideal conditions that
| the trusts and manufacturers want,
they naturally favor both factions,
not seeing, possibly, what ridicu-
lous position they occupy. There are,
however, some manufacturers and
! others interested who do not feel so
kindly towards reciprocity. For in
stance, the hosiery and knit goods
people of New England find that their
industry has been sacrificed by. a re-
duction of 20 per cent. in the reel
procity treaty with France. The seed
=
nut growers the same and the prune
growers with ten per cent, all Of
whom declare will reduce their profits
| by that proportion without any cor
responding advantage or reciprocal
arrangement. These are the main
kickers at reciprocity, outside of
those who claim that the constitu-
tional limitations restricting the or
- =
of representatives. is nullifed because
these. reciprocity treaties are orig
mated by the executive. These tariff
doctors are certainly: considerably
Mixed and withal they do not touch
the burning question of the tariff of
whether trusts productions that are
Sold to foreigners cheaper than they
are to our own people shall be placed
on the free list. That is the democrat
lie contention, and some few anti
trust republicans believe SO, too.

The inevitable result of the i'm

Of the heads of bureaus of the army

the army has been raised to q maxi

beyond what is necessary, these de-

HEART DISEASE,


some Facts Regarding the Rapid In

Heart troubles at least among the Amer.

Is more often the result OF weak stomachs
Of poor digestion.
Real organic disease Is inCurablc but not
one case In a hundred Of heart trouble
Is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion Us because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves,
the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
fected by the form Of poor digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from half
dlgested food There Is feeling of op.
preston and heavincss In the chest caused
by pressure of the dlstcnded stomach oil
the heart and lungs, interfering with their
action, hence arises palpitatlon and short
breath.
Poor digestion also polsons the blood
making 1t tain and watery, which lrrltates
ard wcakenS the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble Is TO Improve the digestion and
TO Insure the prompt assimilation OF food
This can be done by the regular us,

SOURCE OF CONSOLATION.

British Get Comfort Out Of Continuation
Of Philippine War.
NEW YORK, Jan. IA dispatch to
The Tribune from London. says:
The chief source Of consolation for
the bc wildercd public. which cannot
understand what is going on in South
Africa, is an occasional dispatch from
America indicating that the Philippine
war il still in progress. No attempt is
made to explain tho fact that the two
branches Of the Englsh.speaking race
are simultaneously harrassed with the
dragging operations Of apparently end
less and protitless campaigns. But
English humiliation is mitlgated by
evidence that the Americans are still
far from the end Of hos,ilities in the
islands.
General Kitchener is SO reticent that
pro. Boer journals like the Manchester
Guardian and nlarmist sheets like The
Daily Mail are convinced that the sit
uation is critical and that the British
army is virtually Oh the defensive and
in need of reinforcemenis. General
Kitchener takes the situation SO coolly
that military men are disposed to ridi'
cule the idea that any descent upon
Worcester or Cape Town is possible.
